From Keutucky-NO BattIe-IEeireHi of she
Federaiists.

NASHVILLE, October 21.-The reported Skin
mish at Greensburg, Ky, was premature. The
Bowling Green correspondent Of the Union and
American says that Hardee's command did not
reach there till the afternoon of the l9th-a sud-
den rise in the Little Barren river having delayed
it. The Lincolnites fed several hours before
Hardee arrived. The town was almost deserted
by the citizens. Gen. Ward Fetreated 10 Null
drough's Hill, where, from Sherman's maneuver-
ing, it is supposed a stand will be made.
Rousseau still occupies Nolin, with several
thousand men. He does not seem able or dis
posed to make an advance. The entire Lincoln
force between Louisville and Nolin, is supposed
not 10 exceed fifteen thousand.
Destruction Of Federal Vessels.
RICHMOND. October 2l.-Ons Federal vessel
was burned on the Potomacrycr, yesterday, and
two more to-day, by hot shot from the Confede-
rate batteries near Eavansport.
Capture Of n Federal Vessel.
CHARLESTON, October 2l.-The Mercury, OF
to-day, says that among other recent captures
by our privateers, IS the brig Grenada, Capt.
Pettingeu, of Portland, Maine, with a cargo Of
sugar, molasses, mahogany, and honey.
1t is reported there is an addition to the block
aiding feet of a large steamer transport, with
Yankee troops, lowering on the Carolina coast.

RICHMOND ITEMS.

From the Enquirer, 0ctoberl9l
GONE SOrTH-SeYeral heavy riAed cannon
left this city yesterday fora certain pOintin Dixie,
where it is not impossible they may, sooner Or
later, pirate their whereabouts
No MORE PASSPORTS TO MANAsSAS.-We
learn from high official source, that all civilians
are now rigidly excluded from our lines at
Manassas.
ARREST OF Col. ADLER.-In compliance
with orders issued by the War Department, Col.
Adler, a Polish officer, recently attached to the
Wise Legion in Western Virginia, as an eugi-
neer, with the commission of colonel, was ar
rested on Wednesday by the government de.os-
tiyes, and conveyed to the Columbian Hotel,
where, in consequence of his weak condition
caused by aself-inflicted wound, he was permitted
to remain upon parole until yesterday forenoon,
when he was taken to the prison hospital as a
prisoner. The charges preferred against him
are understood to be that of the spy-and of
holding communication with the enemy.
Col. Adler came here highly recommended as
an officer Of ability, who had served with dis
tinction in the Hungarian war, and in 1.-THE Italian
struggle under Garibaldi, and, upon those repre-
sensations, obtained a commission in our army.
His u~naccountable conduct in Western Virginia
exciting the suspicion Of Gov. Wise, he was, at
the command Of the latter, arrested as a spy.
Upon hearing Of his arrest, he attempted to COM
init suicide, through modification, it IS said, in
tlicting a serious cash upon his throat, from the
effects of which he is now suffering.
The Enquirer gives a list ofthe shares of stock
in the Richmond and Petersburg railroad seques-
trated under the confscation act of Congress.
The total number is IA. That paper adds:
All of the shareholders enumerated are Phila-
delphians, with the exception of Mrs. Elies, who
resides in the interior Of Pennsylvania, and Mrs.
Van COurtlandt, who is "a resident of New York.
The entire number of shares constituting the
capital stock Of the company is 9,566-less than
one-twelfth of which, it will be seen, was in the
hands Of foreigners. The market value OF the
Sequestcred shares, as determined by the last
quotations, would be about S42r579-or fifty
seven dollars per share.
CONFEDERATE POSTAGE STAMPS The first
of the new Confederate States postal stamps
were issued yesterday, and were eagerly bought
up. The new stamp is green, with a Autograph
ic likeness of President Davis within double
oval border, surmouuted with the inscription,
" Confederate States of America Outside of
the circle, and at the head Of the stamp, is the
word postage, T" aud at the lower edge its de-
nomination, " FIVE cents"
PREPARATIONS FOR THE WINTER-Large
quantities of lumber and a great number Of
sashes have been conveyed during the present
week over the Central road 70 Manassas, for the
purpose, probably, OF winter quarters for our
troops in that immediate vicinity. Several Of
the bales Of blankets brought by the Bermuda
from England, were also dispatched to the same
destination yesterday.

lie IS SUCCEEDED BY An UNBORN SOSl
The whole country viii be thrown into lamen-
tations by a perusal of the following heart-rend-
ing intelligence from the RoIla correspondence
of that veracious sheet, the st. Louis Democrat ::
Major Wright, of the Home Guards, furnishes
the following statement: A physician, well
known to the major, whose name L am not per-
mitted to use, arrived from the southwest on
Tuesday evening.
The physician was formerly a partner Of Dr.
Smell, McCullOcl's army urgeOn. The former
very recently had an interview with his old part
ner, and was told By him dat in the battle OF
Springfield McCullOch was shot through the
hips, and a glance ball also struck him in the
forehead. Soon after makingh his report Of the
battle, McCullocb, with the Texas forces, was
ordered back to Texas, but after reaching Camp
Chesapeake, near Mount Vernon, he died OF his
wounds Before he expired, he spoke freely Of
the manner OF his eatmen BY the MisSouTians,
and declared that if he had known the true posi-
ton OF affairs, he never would have entered the
State.
His body was placed in a metallic coffin and
conveyed to Texas. His death was concealed
even from his own men for a time. il being the
policy of the surviving leaders to operate on the
prestige of his name. His son, Ben. McCulloch,
JT., was therefore placed in nominal command in
order to keep up the deception. Major Wright,
who is an Old Acquaintance Of McCulloch, hav-
ing as late as winter before last ranged with him
one hundred miles up the Colorado river, is con-
WINGED that the latter is dead.

Hay afternoon by The Federal feet now of this

former. a small steamer, soon came toward the
