From Kentucky.
Northern troops Pouring in — Prospects of a fight doubtful-- Gen. Hindman's official report of the battle of Woodville. Memphis, Dec. 27.
--The latest Louisville papers received here represent that Northern troops continue to pour into Kentucky in one unceasing stream.
Reliable intelligence from Bowling Green says, that appearances do not indicate an engagement, although unforeseen circumstances might precipitate a fight within eight or ten days. But a few Federals have as yet crossed Green river, and it is reported that they have gone back, and burnt the bridge.
Gen. Hindman's official report of the Woodsonville fight says that Col. Terry and three Texan Rangers were killed; Lieut. Morris, of the Third Texan Rangers, was dangerously wounded; and Capt. Walker, three Rangers, and two privates of the Arkansas Battalion, were slightly wounded.--The Yankee loss was 75 killed, and the number wounded was unknown.
We took eight prisoners.
Kentuckians from Bourbon county, who arrived here to-day, say that the road from Paris to Prestonburg is clear of Lincoln troops, and that squads of Southerners are constantly joining Gen. Marshall's command.
They mostly come from the Blue Grass counties.
Gen. Marshall's soldiers are openly recruiting in Bourbon county, and but few Union men can now be found, except town men. The mountaineers are flocking to Gen. Marshall's standard in large numbers.
There is nothing new from Columbus.
