across Green River. This Is bnt in keeping
with the rest Of the Internal deeds that have |
marked the whole progress Of the rebellion. |
The whole spirit of the rebellion is asplrit OF

OF couree B1ekner and his Confederate
banditti contemplate at present no enterprise

point. But our taoops can cross streams

Bnckner with his troops, and thBt Buckner's
numbers we're now from twenty-five to thirty
thousand. Another gentleman just from
Bowling Green estimates Buckner's force at
twenty-five thousand.
It Is very difficult to decide what should be
believed. IF troops from Missouri are pour
irg into Kentucky, ths fact Wou1d seem to in
dicate that the Confede1ates intend for the
present to give Missouri up to Fremont. Sup
posing the statements We have received to be
correct, the enemy has now nearly eighty
thousand men upon Kentucky soil, and the
lees Gen. Fremont shall speedily start upon
his great expedition down the Mississippi.
a MIssiea,ppi officer at Bowling Green says
that the Confederates have at no time had any
other thought than to make Kentucky the
main theatre Of the war. Wei, 1t shall 60
