ointed in the absence of General Sturgis, who, it is reported, is to have another and a larger command. Gen. Wilcox takes the field to-morrow. He leaves Lexington with the unfeigned regret of its citizens, from whom his conduct, while he was in command here, won the utmost, praise and admiration. A complimentary card, signed by the prominent citizens, has been duly engrossed and presented to him. Maj. Gen. Hartsuff arrived here on Saturday. His headquarters are to be here, (Lexington, Ky.,) but before locating he intends making a tour of the State to inspect the troops assigned to his command. From sources of a private nature I have been enabled to ascertain the following facts in reference to the strength and position of the rebel forces in East Tennessee: The department is commanded by Major Gen. S. B. Buckner, and embraces less than twenty regiments, or about 15,000 troops. At Knoxville, where Major General W. G. Maury is in command, is stationed Col. J.

Pegram, with a Confederate force, crossed the Cumberland river on the 25th ult., and moved upon Richmond, Ky., for the purpose, it was supposed, of creating a diversion in favor of Morgan, of where capture he had not been advised. A dispatch from Cincinnati, dated the 28th, says: A special dispatch to the Commercial from Lexington, Ky., says the rebels this morning attacked our forces at Richmond, consisting of a small detachment under Col. Sanders. After an hour's severe fighting, our troops were compelled to fall back to the Kentucky river, badly out up. The rebel force is estimated at 2,500 men and six guns. They are supposed to be the advance of Bragg's army. At the latest advices our troops had fallen back with in five miles of Lexington, the enemy closely following.

A Rich letter to Geo. D. Prentice. The Louisville Journal has the following letter from one of John Morgan's Captains. It says: We have reason to believe that the thing is genuine. We have not been ignorant of the existence of conspiracies to get possession of us. Three or four of them have failed; possibly the next may succeed. But we guess not. Our trust is in God and our natal star. Lexington, Ky., Aug. 4, 1863. George D. Prentice, Esq: How are you, old George, any how? I have just come from a visit to our old city, George, after an absence of two years or more in the Confederate army--Brig.-Gen. John H. Morgan's command, a particular favorite of yours, I believe. Nothing would have given me more pleasure, old fellow, than to have paid you a call, and have had a social chat with you. After due consideration I thought it would not have been healthy; so I contented myself with passing look at your noble countenance. How handsome you have grown, George

tely sold by this — his own — spy that we suppose he has had his ears measured repeatedly of late to ascertain their increased length. The following facts will show how Morgan's brother lost his liberty, and "our man" came within view of a halter. Coming into Nashville on his second trip, he brought a letter from Capt. Clarence Morgan, the General's brother, addressed to their mother in Kentucky, to be mailed at Nashville. This letter advised the mother that its writer would be at Lexington, Ky., upon a certain day, and desired her to meet him there. This letter contained the following note from the devoted Chariton Morgan to his lady love, as it would seem: "McMinnville, Feb. 14, 1863. Dear Mollie --Meet me at Lexington. I will be there in four or five days." Directed to "Miss Mollie Williams, care of Mrs. Mary Atkinson, Russellville, Ky." Of course this letter came to the hands of the inevitable Col. Truesdale, and he forthwith advises Gen. Boyle, com

omplaint made about the impressment of property. Well, impressment is a very hard thing to bear, and it is frequently executed by men who have neither sense, discretion nor honesty; and are only kept out of jail and the lunatic asylum by the assistance of impudence, brass buttons and a little brief authority. [Voices, that's so.] But what are the evils of impressment here compared with the system of the enemy in Kentucky and elsewhere. As witness this: Headq'rs 23d army corps,Lexington, Ky., July 29, 1863. General Orders, No. 14. For the information and guidance of officers in impressing property, it is hereby directed that, whenever its impressment may become necessary for troops of the Twenty third army corps, it will be taken exclusively from rebels and rebel sympathizers; and so long as the property needed is to be found belonging or pertaining to either of the above named classes, no man of undoubted loyalty will be molested. Among rebel sympathizers will

Cheerful Stens in Kentucky. --The Lexington (Ky.) Reporter, of the 12th inst., has a brief, but very animated, report of a speech of Col. Frank Wolford, of Kentucky, of the U. S. Army, which for its outspoken daring and independent denunciation of the "powers that be" at Washington, is not second to the bitter and scathing invectives of Vallandigham. Col. W. has been in the Federal, service for three years, and has borne himself as true to the North, Kentuckian as he is, as the most ultra Northman could desire. In referring to the recent order for the enrollment of negroes in Kentucky, the Colonel "denounced it as alike unconstitutional," and said: It was but another of the series of startling usurpations of power which were being made; and he said it was the duty of the people of Kentucky to resist it as a violation of their guaranteed rights. If they were overpowered by force in their refusal to obey this order, then he advised them to appeal to the law for protection

and their enlistment into our ranks will save to the North just so many able bodied, useful, industrious, and intelligent citizens. No better mode of diminishing the burden of a draft can be devised. Resort to such a method will materially aid in the solution of the $300 exemption question, by diminishing the number to which it may be applicable, and to the same proportion it will bring down the price of substitutes to a just and equitable standard. Marking the Sneaks. [From the Lexington (Ky.) Unionist.] When the State capital was menaced by Mogan's rebels, Gov Bramiette and Gen Lindsey determined to defend the city to the last extremity, and, no United States troops being there, they ordered out all the militia and strangers who happened to be there. Even small boys of ten to twelve years old, who could shoot a gun, went in with a will and did valiant service, and the thieving rebels were repulsed. There were, however, some sneaking rebel sympathizers who skulked and h

This is regarded as favorable, in consideration of the present disposition of the national troops, and gives hope that General Rosecrans will be able to overtake and compel the rebel chieftain to fight. A large force from Kansas City, Missouri, under General Curtis, and also a considerable body of Kansas militia, are moving eastward upon Price. The War in Kentucky. The Confederate cavalry seem to be making warm work in Kentucky. The train which left Cincinnati for Lexington, Kentucky, on the 19th, was fired into by them, and Montgomery Blair, who was aboard, narrowly escaped capture. The First Kentucky cavalry had been whipped at Owingsville and run back to Lexington. They had also appeared at Georgetown and Garrettsburgh. A telegram, dated at Cairo, the 19th, says: Great excitement prevails in this section of country in consequence of a raid into Western Kentucky by Forrest's force.
