sand infantry, two thousand cavalry, and thirteen pieces of artillery. The heavy rains on the 19th and 20th instant rendered the water courses and roads almost impassable, and greatly impeded their movements. The intelligence direct from Green river is, that the Federals intend making early forward movements, and they have commenced the erection of fortifications on the South bank of the river. The heavy freshet in the Green river had washed away Gen. Buell's pontoon bridges, and also daGreen river had washed away Gen. Buell's pontoon bridges, and also damaged the wood work on the repairs made to the railroad bridge. [second Dispatch.] Memphis, Jan. 23. --Intelligence received from Paris, Tenn., and of yesterdays date, states that it was reported on Saturday afternoon that ten Federal regiments of infantry, 1,800 cavalry, and 30 pieces of artillery went to Muldray and took possession of the court-house there, destroying the books and papers and released six negroes from jail.--At the same time 600 Federals landed from gun-boats at

will be compelled to abandon the post. Frightened at a flag of truce. The Bowling Green correspondent of the Nashville Banner, relates the following amusing incident of Yankee bravery: On the 10th inst, an incident occurred near Green river that shows very clearly that our enemies are vividly impressed with the conviction that they will be badly whipped whenever they meet our troops in battle, and illustrates the cowardly natures of those who would subjugate us. By order of one of our officers a small party of our troops was dispatched to Green river with a flag of truce. A large body of the enemy was a considerable distance this side the river. As soon as our troops got in sight, without waiting to see our numbers, they broke and fled with all the speed they were capable of, and never stopped till they reached their main lines. In vain our men shouted to them to stop; the more they were called to the faster they run. Their number was ten times that of our party

ham's Mississippi--Were engaged in the fight near Mill Springs. The estimated number of our killed and wounded, and prisoners taken from us, varies from three to five hundred. Gen. Crittenden, with nearly all his force, is now at Monticello. Stores and equipments are being sent to him. The Confederates, after spiking their cannon, threw them into the river. The enemy got but one cannon. They also got about two thousand horses and mules, and three hundred wagons. All of our stores were burnt, to prevent their capture by the enemy. The stragglers returning speak very freely of the cause of this disaster, and their reports create intense excitement and indignation here. Nashville, Jan. 24, (vai Mobile, 25th.)--Reports from Bowling Green confirm the washing away, by late freshets, of the pontoon bridges and the newly constructed protion of Green river bridge. Gen. Buell, it is reported, has left Munfordsville and gone no one appears to know where.

e his present headquarters in a few hours for an important point. His brigade, of which the Fifty-sixth Virginia is now a permanent part, is under marching orders this morning. Whether its destination is Hopkinsville, Russellville, Paris, or Green River, it is not my province to inform the enemy. It is sufficient to state that a movement of much interest is about taking place, and the public will be informed of its results in due time. The line between what is proper and what is improper foem and retired. For a time the ladies of Nashville were frightened by the silly report that Forts Henry and Donelson were taken, and that a rapid ascent of the Cumberland river would be made by the Federals. The status of army matters at Green river remains much the same. A small detachment of Buell's force is on this side, but it is doubted whether it will stand its ground many days. Indeed, the favorite strategy of recrossing may already be accomplished. Although the Northern new

15,000 Federals across Green River — vessels sunk in Rattle-Snake Shoals. Nashville, Jan. 26. --Private dispatches from Bowling Green announce that fifteen thousand Federals crossed Green River yesterday. It is also understood that more crossed to-day.

is now being clearly exposed. It is wholly based on a vast superiority of numbers. On this it depends for success. It seems that the Federals intend to continue menacing both Columbus and Bowling Green, and that with a force only to be resisted from our entrenchments; and that another force is to march on, if it can, to Nashville, via Scottsville and the Bowling Green and Nashville Railroad. This expedition to Nashville will be under the command of McCook.--Crittenden is to cross the Green river, and moving on Hopkinsville, threaten our line of retreat over the Memphis branch of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad. They hope thus to force Hardee out of Bowling Green into the open field, or to a surrender. The plan, a sort of miniature of that of Gniesnau in Germany in 1813, is of the ablest; but it requires what Gniesnau had, a vast superiority in numbers. Some say the Federals have it, some say they have not. We can only trust in God that even this plan, the ablest, in

From Kentucky. Nashville, Jan. 30. --The latest advices from Munfordsville state that the Yankees have sent back their sick from that place, and are busily engaged in bringing up their artillery from Nolin and from Bacon's Creek, and it is said they received marching orders early last week. Four Yankee regiments were encamped in the band below Woodville, this side of Green river, under cover of their heavy guns. They send out pickets during the day towards Horse Cave, but withdraw them at night.

ting under date of January 25th, says: The reported occupancy of Paris by the enemy is incorrect. The Federals are, however, at Murray Calloway county, Ky., only twenty miles distant, but as yet have made no demonstration on Paris. The country between Murray and Paris is represented as being a succession of marshes and swamps, impassable, at this season for heavily laden transports or artillery. What object the Yankees have in the occupancy of Murray, whether intended as a rendezvous for the purpose of collecting troops to destroy Tennessee river bridges and the Memphis and Ohio Railroad, or what not, cannot be devised. Any movement in the direction of the Tennessee line will certainly be thwarted. Green river bridge, although not entirely destroyed, has been seriously damaged, so much so that trains do not pass over it; a few days, however, will suffice for its repair. There are no evidences of a forward movement from above, and, in consequence, all is quiet here.

A second launch pushed to the rescue of its unfortunate comrade, when Captain Cottrill's detachment gave them a volley. Gen. Buell threatening. The Bowling Green correspondent of the Nashville Union says: Startling reports from Green River have also reached here this evening. It is said that the Yankees have crossed Green River in force estimated at 16,000 strong, and that General Buell is making active preparations to pour his entire command against this place. We very much qGreen River in force estimated at 16,000 strong, and that General Buell is making active preparations to pour his entire command against this place. We very much question the correctness of this statement. The Federals have doubtless sent reinforcements across the river to protect the bridge, etc., but not in such numbers as reported. We regard an early advance against this place as being by no means probable. In this place all is quiet, not an event of interest having transpired for some days. Hatteras Inlet and its sand Bars.

It is said they received their marching orders early last week. Four Yankee regiments are encamped in the bend below Woodsonville, on this side of Green river, under cover of their heavy guns on the other side.--Bowling Green Courier, Jan. 30.
