Battle at Greensburg, Kentucky.
COMPLETE Rour OF THE ENEMY.


Passengers who arrived On the down train of the
Memphis and Ohio Railroad yesterday, bring intel
lgence of sharp battle that occurred last Friday
at " Camp Andy Johnson" near Greensburg, ,hy.,
aplace some seventy or eighty miles northwest OF
Bowling Green. sasta s. 7so -. yt-Ss+H
It appears that Gen. Sydney Johnston, who is
now with Gen. Bnckner's army at the latter place,
was informed on the 10th inst. that about 1900 Fed
campment, for the purpose, as was supposed, OF
Louisville and Nashville Railroad, so as to cut oil
this means Of communication with the South.
He Immediately dispatched Gen. Hardee, with a
force Of about 1000 men, with instructions to give
them battle. The latter officer arrived at their camp
about o'clock A. NJ. on the 18th inst, friday
and took them by surprise with sharp and yigor-
ous assault. The fighting is said to have been
heavy on both sides, aud lasted between three and
four hours resulting finally in the complete rout OF
| the enemy who took refnge in precipitate fight.
| The lossOf the Federals is estimated at seventy
| Eve or eighty men, together with a large amount
of provisions small arms, artillery and ammunition
including 800 muskets and three or four pieces OF
| heavy ordnance. The loss on the Confederate
side is stated to US as not reaching more than egh
| or ten, though we think it must be greater.
| Gen. Hardee and his gallant little commane
| were, at last accounts, in possession OF the camp
| which was made the field of conflict.
The above intelligence is corroborated In th'
main by soldier who arrived in the city yester
day, direct frem Greensburg, having been Wounde'
in the fight, one of its participants. The dls
| patches from Nashville, which we publish TIL
morning, give still further confirmation OF it.

A LITTLE CmCuMsTASCE.-A Texas soldier, who
was in the battle of Oak Hill, thinks lie must tell
the Jefferson Herald one little circumstance
which occurred about the middle OF the engage
ment."
Our battalion of GOO men were formed under the
brow of a steep ridge, ready to receive body Of
the enemy's infantry when Gen. McCuloch rode
up to us and asked what was going on. Colonel
Greer told him what we were up to, ana pointed
to our spies on the top of the ridge, who were to
report When the enemy got near enough for US to
charge up to the brow and fire. Spies said he

Mayor Elan, of Baton Rouge, requires all
strangers visiting that city to call at his Office and
register their names, otherwise they will be treated
as dangerous and suspicious characters. No more
than right and proper.
