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 vance 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.

ave 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 troops authorized by the Provisional Government, is working with the potency of a charm. They are responding to the call, and before long so great will be the accessions, that the General will be able to take the field in active service. Arrival of bridge burners. Lieut. W. F. Parker, Company H, 29th Regiment, (says the Asheville, N.

stantiate the report that they are this side in considerable force, and that more are preparing to follow. On the 7th inst., the embankments thrown across the deep ravine for the Louisville and Nashville Turnpike road, were blown up near Woodsonville. This was done by orders, and certainly for the purpose of rendering the turnpike impassable to the enemy's heavy ordnance and baggage wagons. This was done near where the road enters the Green Brier Ford, passing from Woodsonville to MunforWoodsonville to Munfordsville, and in the vicinity of the place where the engagement was had with Col. Terry and his valiant Rangers.--The obstruction of this road and the destruction of a part of the railroad, and the 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 moveme

For the last week we have been in the midst of stirring events. Last Sunday night our Colonel was notified by General Marshall that "the enemy are reported to be entering Paintsville — put your regiment under arms quietly."We were not attacked there, however, and, on Monday morning at two o'clock, orders were sent to cook all the provision we had, and prepare to fall back. We did so, but our regiment was unable to leave camp until half- past 3 o'clock, P. M., and only made some six miles; but such was the execrable condition of the roads, that all the trains did not get over until Tuesday night. We rested, therefore, during that day.
