ENTUCKY.


We have had the opportunity of Witnessing the
departure Of the two fine volunteer companies
raised in this county-one Of horse, and one OF
foot-for Louisville. They are excellent com pa
MES, and parted from their friends with buoyant
hopes for the future. Captain G. w. Ravanagh' 8
company, from Anderson also left on Friday morn
ing last Ii numbered about ninety as stall wart and
hardy Unlocking men as ever shouldered rife They
bore on their flag the name many Of them wear at
heme-"Salt River Tigers;' and if they do not
acqu themselves CALAMITY, shall be much aston
ished. The cavalry companies commanded by Cap
tain Stone, from Madison, and Captains Clay and
Beard, from Fayctte, each passed through eur town
the same day. Captain Clays company was dined
at the Mansion House, by Mr.. Stealey, and Cap.
tain Boards company was dined by Mr.. Theobalds,
at the Weisiger House. All three companies were
well mounted and caparisoned, and made hand
some appearance. In the evening Captain Shaw
hams company from Harrison, a bravelooking set
Of fellows-gray dress, white casters, and black
plumes, well nted-arrived and stayed all
night. The same evening Captain Turpin's foot
company, from Montgomery, also arrived, and
stayed all night On Saturday morning Captain
Wils's company, from Jcssamine, and Captain
Frys, from Boyle, passed on-all fne-looking men.
Captain Thomas F. Marshas splendid horse COM
pany, from Woodford, passed through on Saturday
afternoon. The last company which left was the
horse company from Frankfort, Captain Milan;
and although each company presented fine ap.
pearance in equipment the Frankfort company GER
tainly excelled, while better mounted troop will
never penetrate Mexico, nearly all the horses being
Of the best blood Of Kentucky racers. God speed
the gallant bands!
