his side of Green River. From an interesting letter in the Nashville Union and American, under date of Bowling Green, Jan. 10, we extract the following: It is pretty well settled that the enemy, in what exact force it is impossible to state, is this side of Green River, having crossed at the recently repaired bridge near Munfordsville. An officer in Colonel Hanson's second Kentucky regiment came down from our advance yesterday. He states that while on a scouting expedition toward Green, River he and his friends distinctly saw the Federal tents. They counted four hundred tents and estimate their force at five thousand men. They are encamped at Rowlett's Station, some four miles from the bridge. Other accounts, all varying in detail, however, confirm the report that they are this side of the river. Some stoutly assert that there is no enemy this side, and that they are afraid to cross. All indications go to substantiate the report that they are this side in considerable

inia regiment was thrown upon a hill east of the east fork of the creek, and Colonel Williams's Kentucky regiment occupied a higher hill, to the right of Moore's regiment. After waiting patiently for an hour, the enemy were seen advancing up the valley of the creek, and scattering themselves upon a range of hills opposite our position. About 1 o'clock P. M. a small party of cavalry showed themselves immediately in front of the artillery, apparently reconnoitering our position. Capt. Holliday's company of Kentucky cavalry opened fire upon them, and then fell back, when a shell was thrown into their midst from one of our guns. The enemy immediately fell back--three saddles being empty. This may be regarded as the opening of the fight — the firing before having been confined to the pickets. The engagement soon became general along our whole line, the enemy seeking to dislodge us from our position on the hills. It would be unjust to them to say that they did not fight well.

blowing in of the short tunnel above, of which previous letters gave you an account, indicate that an advance of the foe is expected and that our Generals wish to put as many impediments in their way as possible. The positions of our advance forces, it would seem, also go to show that a forward movement of the enemy is looked for. Hindman, with his men, forming as they did our advance force on Green River, has fallen back to near Oakland Station and is now only a short distance ahead of Breckinridge's Kentucky Brigade, and about sixteen miles above this place. The most determined and vigorous means of defence are pushed ahead at this place with zeal and alacrity. Independent companies, both of cavalry and infantry, are being rapidly organized.--The blood of Kentuckians is roused at last by recent developments, and brave determined men, are coming forward to the rescue of the State. The fact that Hon. W. C. Preston, now General Preston, is to lead the newly raised Kentucky troo

We did so, but our regiment was unable to leave camp until half- past 3 o'clock, P. M., and only made some
