AS the proclamation is already before your read

leGslble This is all that is necessary to precipi-

diSarmed by the government which makes him
publish this needless document, and is simply put

The symptoms in Kentucky are not so satisfacto-

large minority who for the negro; and while
they will not fight for principles, they are ready to

allegiance.

Yesterday Gen. Williams, with Second Brigade

To-day rode over to Greencastle and found the
men completely encamped, the First Brigade short
distance in advance of the town, and the Second
about mile this side
Other brigades will soon be pushed forward, as
there Is prospect of the field batteries arriving
by Tuesday. Col. Dixon IL. Miles, Second United
States Infantry, arrived on Saturday, with one
company Of Second United States Infantry, and
the band, and has been put in command of a regi

Company f, Fourth United States ARTILLERY, will
arrive about TUESDAY, and be assigned to the same

Island regiment, Col. Burnside, with light artillery
battery, AMI will probably be pushed forward at
once TO Greenc.st
A Michigan regiment will probably be here to-
morrow, and will go into Col. Miles brigade. Two
ONO regiments are also expected. So YOU see this
army Is being greatly strengthened; and what is
better, includes large proportion of United States
troops, about one regiment infantry and five huu-
dred horse.
The field batteries will probably arrive on Tues
day or Wednesday, and will consist of about five
batteries of six guns each. We may have a siege
train sent later for work at Harper's Ferry.
From the rapid additions being made 10 the army
on this line, and from the fact that that the Gems
ralln- Chef sends such strong reinforcements from
the neighborhood of Washington, at this time it is
plain that he does not anticpatea a-sstne surrender
There is every prospect that by the middle OF the
week strong and rapid movement will be made
towards Harper's Ferry. Col. Thomas Brigade

Forces at Winchester.
A very important military movement was made
at Harper's Ferry on Saturday-nameIy the dis
position OF two thousand Alabama troops along the
railroad from Bolivar (Which is mile above the
railroad bridge), to Winchester, thirty-two miles
distant. There four companies each at Charles
town, cameron, WadesvilIe, Stephenson and Win
chester. 1t is clearly General Johnsons intention
to have that road well guarded, as it will afford
him by means of three good wagon roads-one
leading to Strasburg, another to Front Royal, and
the third to Arr0wsville-the necessary facilities
tor retreating to the Manassas Gap Railroad, and
thus strengthening that line For it is jeff Davis

the rebels are driven from it after a desperate
