WAR BUDGET.


lntelnBepce from virginia Dy way Ol tue
South, as we'll as from our own army, shows
that General Lee has made a junction with
Floyd, and are both advancing on the forces Of
Generals Rosecrans and Cox. A special dis
patch from Lynchburg, dated September &c,
TO the Knoxville Daily Register, has the fol-
lowing on this subject;
Intelligence Of highly important move
ment in Western Virginia has been received.
The reports already given, stating that Gem
eral Lee is about to make q junction with
General Floyd, are fully confirmed.
Re endorsements to the extent of sixty
four companies have been sent forward to
join General Floyd's Brigade, and consid-
erable portion of his command has been or
dered to Lewisburg.
A dispatch from Darnestown, Maryland,
states that the rebel forces have disappeared
from that vicinity, and conjectures that they
have Joined Floyd. In that case il seems
most probable that the forces of Lee would
remain at Greenbriar River to keep Rey-
noldtIemployed, SO as to prevent him CO.
operating with Rosecrans. The reliable in
action Of our great army at Washington en-
ables the rebel Generals to send off heavy
detachments of their troops on distant ex.
petitions, relying on their being able to re-
turn by the time they are wanted to resist
our advance.
CONTEMPLATED INVASION FROM ALABAMA.
The Huntsville Advocate of the 25th ult.,
speaking of the return of General L. P.
Walker, the late Confederate Secretary of
War; to that city, says:
General W. but exchanges the wear and
tear of his Cabinet for the more active duties
of the field. He has command of an Alabama
brigade, destined, it is supposed, for service
in Kentucky. The new regiments COM
manded by Colonels Thos. H. Watts, Thos. J.
Judge, E. @. Bullock and Jos. Wheeler COM
pose the brigade, with perhaps regiment
of cavalry and a battery of artillery. It will
be one OF the best brigades in the service
Alabama will willingly trust her honor in its
keeping upon the dark and bloody ground"
HOW RosECRANs FIGHTS.
A late letter from GAINESVILLE, Maryland,
says:
Michael Price, one of the first advocates Of
Secession in Virginia. and recently in the
army opposed to our forces under General
! Rosecrans, has become disgusted with the
cause and returned to his home near Harper's
| Ferry. He controlled and exercised great
| influence in getting the State out of the
| Union, but he has become convinced that the
CoDfederacy can not stand. He now wishes
his Union friends to intercede for his return
to loyalty. On Thursday he dined at the
house of an old friend, and remarked that the
rebels might as we'll fight against the devil
or the north star, as Rosecrans; "for," he
said, Just as we thought we had him he was
all around US. At other times when We
thought we were safely encamped for the
night he thought he would attack us, anC
did, too" He, also says that Rosecrans i!
more than q match for all the rebel force!
west of the mountains.
WHY THE REBELS FELL BACK FROM WASH
1NGToF.
A letter to the Philadelphia North Amer
ic0n throws little light on this subject. The
writer says:
1t was determined on Friday, at a council
of war held at the headquarters of General
Scott, that an advance should be made, and
within four hours afterward the enemy
prepared for flight. This may be a coinci
dence, but it is more likely that information
OF our intended movement was carried
directly to the rebel camp. Rebel spie
abound here still, and they constantly
manage ipgeniously to send over to thu
enemy all the information they as in
geDiously manage to obtain. 1t is impossible
to prevent this; at all events it is not now O
great consequence, as nothing can be sale
which will not serve to impress the enemy
with the madness of at empting to captur'
washington, or OF making any serious resist
ance to the immense army of Mcclellan.
Governor Morton, of Indiana, has author
lied DR.. Caruthers Superintendent of tn
Jeffersonville Railroad, to raise regimen
Of railroad men for the war.
THE RIGHT SPIRIT.
When the news reached Casey County tina
Kentucky was invaded, and that the invader
were marching on Lebanon, over hundret
| frn,nn flofO ntry taA
Lebanon. Sixty three, under the comman
Of Captain Shsckelford and Lieutenant Nc
Anich started also, without guns, determine
ss their comrades fell, TO take their places i
the 6ght and use their guns. This is spir
worthy of Old Kentucky.
