t gorgeons valley stained by the foot of the vandals the tall grass and the rosy flowerets of spring will be woven in luxuriant wreaths for Southern herces. I find military men in some perplexity to appreciate the remarkable manœuvres of General Buell. He has just completed, at great cost to his Government, the bridge across Green river. From four to eight regiments are thrown over each day and made to re-cross at night. What the Federal General means by this marching and counter-marching seems doubtful. The most rational interpretation appears to be to accustom his affrighted soldiery to the presence of our forces and to gradually bring them up to the "sticking point;" in other words, to inspire them with courage by degrees. Buell doubtless anticipates defeat with as much certainty as ourselves; hence every strategy is resorted to in order to keep up appearances and the spirits of his troops — hence his long delay in making the attack, and his silly imitation of the King o

From Kentucky. [special Correspodence of the Dispatch.] Bowling Green Jan. 13, 1862. The idea which from boyhood I had entertained of Bowling Green pictured it as a most lovely village of shade and refreshing verdure. The very name was suggestive of moonlight, meditation, music, and flowers. The time of year which finds me here and the warlike aspect the town now bears unite to disappoint the realization of my early fancies. It is is true, the place is pleasantly situated in a beautiful and bountiful portion of Kentucky, and the grass on the broad, surrounding fields even now sufficient for grazing; but who thinks of Bowling Green except as the military key of the Mississippi Valley? Before that key is turned and that gorgeons valley stained by the foot of the vandals the tall grass and the rosy flowerets of spring will be woven in luxuriant wreaths for Southern herces. I find military men in some perplexity to appreciate the remarkable manœuvres of General Buell. H

nobody here can pretend to predict. All that can be said is that whenever he chooses to practice the motto "On to nashville," he will be met by a competent force and overwhelmed with disaster. Wherever one goes about Bowling Green, he meets with the soldiers of the Confederacy. As I came into the town at night, the camp-fires could be seen for miles in every direction. For thirty miles east, west and north the inevitable tents of the brave volunteers are pitched. The army under General Johnston is so disposed as to be most convenient to fire-wood and army supplies, and most readily mobilized in case of emergency, It may well be supposed that a great deal of skill and military genius was necessary to the perfection of these varied arrangements. When I visit the fortifications and the outposts I shall be able to present some facts, which, while I do not intend they shall be useful to the public enemy, may gratify the general wish on the part of Virginians for accurate infor

Virginians for accurate information touching military operations before Bowling Green. Having just gotten here, I shall content myself with a reference to the Virginia troops under General Floyd. His brigade is encamped about three miles West of Bowling Green, and seems ready to measure swords with the foe. Although this gallant command has performed much arduous service, its sanitary condition is good, and the General deserves the thanks of the country for his daring campaign in Western Virginia. The theatre of his operations there was so beset with difficulties, both moral and physical, that he was denied a fair field against the enemy and it was but an act of justice on the part of Government to send him to an arena where those encumbrances would not be encountered. The Fifty-Sixth Virginia. Regiment has been assigned for the present to his command, and it is quite probable that this arrangement, will be permanent. Its encampment is situated three hundred yards from the G
