THE WAR IN KENTUCKY.

The following interesting items of Ken
tucby news we find in the Louisville papers
Of yesterday:
FROM GENERAL ROUSSEAU ssHEAD. QUARTERS.
We haveH letters from the advance Of the
| Federal Army on the Louisville and Nash
! vile Railroad from which we learn that a
detachment from the Federal forces crossed
Nolin Creek at three o'clock yesterday morn. d.
ing and took up the line of march for Green
River. From what we learn tho pickets of
the two armies are in close proximity to each
other one report representing the one as
being within gun.shot of the other.
We are assured that John @. Breckenridge,
George B. Hodges, William Preston and
Humphrey Marshall were at Bowling Green
on Monday.
had been detailed from Buckners Army and
sent South, and that his force at Bowling
Green'did not number more than two thou
sand on Tue sday.

ing the railroad bridge over Nolin Creek.

A gentleman who lives in one of the in
vaded counties writes: " and nearly all my
neighbors are in Camp Andy johnson. We
are determined to beat back the invaders. /
left home yesterday, October I, and last night
a company ofSecessionists came to my house
and broke it open; broke open trunks,
closets, etc.; stole bedclothes and sundries
they also stole a very fine horse belonging to
G. 7. W, and after hanging negro man for
a few moments, to force him to tell where
was, left for q neighbours, where they made
diligent search for Mr.. D. P. D. NJ. and my
self; whipped two negroes most unmerci-
fully, stole two horses, watch, some bed
clothes, ETC." These are but a few outrages
among many. There is no doubt of the truth
of every word of this. 1t comes from a source
as reliable as any in the State. How long
will Tetribution wait on these men2
PASSES SOUTH.
General Sherman, we are informed, posi-
lively declines to grant any more passes
South. This we have no doubt, is right and
necessary. The rule may seem to have a
hard operation in some cases, but individual
convenience and individual interest must
| yield to the great requirements Of the ma.
! tional good. There is no doubt that hun
| dreds of passes, all given upon the strength
of earnest protestations, have been used for
! disloyal and reasonable purposes; and the
important evil can not be stopped but by the
stopping of the whole system of Southern
passes.
We learn from the Flemmiug (Ky.) Star
! that several arrests, for completely with
! traitors aiding the rebellion, were made at
! Mount Carmel, Flemming County, and on
Tuesday eleven men, in order to avoid ar
rest, fled TO the mountains,
.AFFAIks IN SOUTH WESTERN KENTUCKY.
Mr.. William Cox, an old citizen of Hick
man, KY, arrived in this city on Wednes
day, having closed his business and left tht
Place, believing that his Union sentiments
would meet more congeniality elsewhere
Mr.. Cox records that business is entirely at {
stand. still in Hickman and the adjoining
country. A brisk trade was carried on fol-
some time between Hickman aud the South
ern Confederacy, but supplies are exhausted
and business there has closed,
Mr.. Cox travelled by land from Hickman
to Paducah, and he describes his journey a!
very protracted and tedious, but almos
every thing was better than to risk himsel
longer in the hands of a relentless and IRE
sponsible mob, who punish their victims
without reference to legal forms.
Our informant says it was the plan of the
Confederates, who claimed a force of forty
five thousand men, to march upon Paducah
at an early day, and he would not be sur.
prised to learn at an early day that col
lision had taken place between the opposing
armies at or near Paducsh.
Mr.. Cox informs US that it is the grea
ambition of the army in and about Hickman
and Columbus to possess themselves of Pa
ducah and destroy Louisville, the latte
achievement being one of their fondes
dreams.
All accounts from the hills of Kentucky
represent the army of that precious pink o.
General, Zolicoffer, as the most inveterate
robbers and thieves that ever invaded civ.
ilized country. They have stolen all they
could lay their hands on. They are negro
thieves. In that character they beat the un.
derground railroad. Their raid will be re
collected for generations as one of the mos
savage ard brutal that has ever been known
in civilized countries. Their time is short
and they seem to know it. They seem con
scious that all they will ever make is wha
they steal, and they make good use of thei
opportunities.
