| Ihdt General Anderson mas been superseded
! In the command of the Department of Ken
| tncky there can be no doubt; as to who is hi.
successor, however, statements vary-some
| say General Sherman, others General Nc Cook
| The New York Herald. OF the 4th instant, no
| ticing Anderson's removal, says that "owir.
| to some alleged differences which have ariset
| upon points OF military etiquette between
| General Anderson and General Mitchell, Il
| appears that General McCook, Of Ohio, has
recently laid before the President and Cubi.
| net statement of the case, and request tina
new commander be appointed 10 the De.
partment of Kentucky.
| Gen. Anderson is said to be in bad health,
and the proposition OF Gen. McCook received
| the appr0 baton OF both Gen. Anderson anu
Gen. Mitchell. The result has been the ap-
poin tment of Gen. McCook TO the Depart
meni Of kentucky, and II Is unoers TODD thai
| the kentuckians in Washington are highly
pleased at TINS arrangement. Prominent
Ken tuckidns regard the sending of Anderson
10 this State as having been intended merely
| as II softeniI.g wedge with which 10 make an
OPENING for more deciued ana vigorous rule
whlt II Is now to be inaugurated. Sherman
md McCook are both of Buli Run fame, the
former better known rs having been con-
nected with - Sherman's battery" which en-
PEASANT, is said To have fallen into the hands
| of the Contederates. McCUok was in COM
maRd OF II brigade in the same engagement
aud is probably better military man than
Sherman.

most Of the leading Union men charge the
Home Guards with acting UNANIMOUSLY in GO

refuse 10 fight or give their guns to men who

FEDERAL ATROCITIES.
The Bowling Green Courier, of the 18th, con-
tains the following:
We are reliably advised that the Federal
troops OF K usSeau's command ha We been com
hitting the West atrocities in Hardin county,
stealing horses ard provisions, and sizing
the negroes aud property OF men wi tn South
ern sym pathies and DESTROYING VIII IT they
cannot use or take with them. Thps, acts are
us might be naturally supposed, e1citing the
people intensely, and the retaliation will
Yet he bitter and terrible. The following,
which we cop, from The Louisville Journal,
Is their own version Of what they are doing.
TEE DISTRACTIONS or aRasY RIVER BhIDGE.
We regret TO learn that the fibe iron rail-
roau bridge over Green river Was blown up
and destroy ed on Sunday night last This
was done through total misconceptions of or
ders, the destruction of the bridge being
neither necess try nor desired II had been
mined, 1t seems, with view TO its destrue.
ton should such a step become nee. ssary
through any Of the vieissitudes of war but
the mines could have been removed at any
time without the slightest injury to the
bridge, and 1t was earnestly and sincerely
hoped that il would not become necessary TO
use them But the officer to whom was en-
trusted the gu ,rdianship of the bridge to tally
misunderstanding the orders and directions
given for the guidance OF his conduct rashly
and unfortunately applied the match 10 the
train, aud TWO spans OF the beautiful and
snbstan tial structure were blown in TO the air
The cost of repairing the injury thus gno-
rantly, stupidity, and unnecessarily done will
be ineonsiderable hut it will take much
TIM, and time is more than money. ANY
moyem ent forward that may have been con.
tenn plated by our forces will, we suppose
necessarily be delayed by this inexcusabIe
biunder. We have not met a man who does
not express the deepest regret at this loss.
