From Kentucky the fight at Mumfordsville, Ky.--reported capture of Green river bridge and 3,500 prisoners. Chattanooga, Sept. 26. --The fight at Mumfordsville was brought on by Chalmers's brigade, which was afterwards reinforced by Chestham's division. We lost 250 killed and wounded. The enemy lost 600. Col. Smith and the Lieutenant Colonel of the 9th Mississippi were killed. [Note.--General Bragg's official dispatch says the garrison surrendered without our firing a gun. The loss referred to was probably in the fight reported to have occurred a few days prior to the surrender.] The Nashville Union, of the 23d, reports that General Bragg captured the Green River bridge and 3,500 prisoners, on the 16th inst. It also says that Gen. Curtis has succeeded in throwing his army between Smith and Bragg, preventing their junction. The capture of Green River bridge by our troops is a great loss to the enemy.
persisted in for some miles, when Gen. Buell, surprised and mystified at finding no enemy, halted, and tried what virtue there was in scouting. To his astonishment and dismay his scouts soon brought in intelligence that Bragg had crossed Green river with his entire force, and was marching rapidly northward by the Bardstown pike towards Louisville. This intelligence is said to have at once astonished and gratified Buell, who was, however, chagrined at his delay in discovering the movement. He immediately pushed forward with all haste to Green river, and, dividing his force equally, he has crossed that stream, and is rapidly advancing by the main turnpikes to Louisville. The policy of Bragg's movements appears to have completely mystified the public here. That he should have inclined to the aggressive is reasonable; but not so much so when he thus puts himself between two forces each equal to his own. I look upon the movement made by Bragg as certainly forced upon hi . Af
From Kentucky. Murfreesboro Sept. 28. --A gentleman from Bragg's army reports that Bragg and Smith have formed a junction, and were within 20 miles of Louisville. General Marshall was at Rising Sun, on the Ohio river, 20 miles below Cincinnati, and had stopped the navigation of the river. Buell was on Green river. The Fifty third Kentucky regiment had been mustered into the Confederate service. The enemy's force at Louisville is said to be 60,000--new levies.
ns because he did not wish to waste ammunition. After the first bloody repulse of Chalmers's brigade, that individual had the impertinence to demand a surrender. The following is his note: Col. J. T. Wilder, Com'ding U. S. Forces at Green River: You have made a gallant defence of your positions, and to avoid further bloodshed I demand an unconditional surrender of your forces. I have six regiments of infantry, one battalion of infantry sharpshooters, and have just been reinforcp out of the range of my guns. As to reinforcements, they are now entering my works. I think I can defend my position against your entire force. At least I shall try to do so. J. T. Wilder. Colonel Commanding United States forces at Green river. The force to which Colonel Wilder finally surrendered was 25,000 men and seventy-two pieces of artillery, said that Col. Wilder are in the mil. force of Gen. Bragg's army.

A fight at once ensued, in which General Hollesy was killed by Lieut. Baston. Captain Edwards and Hollesy's orderly were captured by Captain Tribule. The fight was a hand-to-hand affair, and the combatants were in the creek at the time.

From Kentucky, &c. Panola, Miss., March 24.; --The Memphis Bulletin is received. Louisville is to be fortified, and citizens sympathising with the Confederacy paroled. The Hetty Gilmore and crow had captured more Confederates on Green river. The Confederates bad occupied Owenten, Ky. The sale of firearms had been prohibited at Indianapolis. A Yankee dispatch says Fort Pemberton cannot be attacked by infantry. The Confederate force there is estimated at 6,000. It is stated that the fort once passed, no danger is apprehended between there and Yazoo City. The next news it was supposed would be flattering. Five small boats had arrived in the Coldwater with reinforcements. The position of the enemy was unknown. The Mississippi was falling at Memphis.

started from Sparta Tenn., about the 1st of July, and crossed the Cumberland river on the 2nd, with about twenty-five hundred men. We extract the following from the account: On the 4th of July the expedition took up the line of march for Green river bridge. An attack was here made upon the enemy, who were found to be posted in a strong position, protected by well constructed stockades. On account of the superior strength of the works our forces failed to carry the position. During this engagement we lost Col. Chensult and Capt. Tribble killed, and about 60 men killed and wounded. The enemy's loss was equal to ours in the charge that was made upon them. From Green river bridge Morgan next directed his attention to the town of Lebanon. He encamped within five miles of the place on the night of the 4th. The following morning he reached Lebanon, and at once demanded the surrender of the place, which was refused by the Federal officer in command of the post. A heavy en

Henderson county, Ky, the New Albany Ledger is reliably informed, swarms with hordes of rebel guerillas, who are committing the greatest outrages. Lieut. Col. Fitch, of the gunboat fleet, states that there is no longer any safety to business or property in that section of Kentucky. The guerillas extend their operation as high up as Green river, and as low down as the lower end of Union county. This state of affairs demands the immediate attention of the military authorities, and they should, without further delay, take the necessary steps to rid the country of these pestilent robbers and cut throat highwaymen. Miscellaneous. The Herald calls on Lincoln to demand that Captain Semmes be delivered up to the United States.
