TuE sIruAr1oN or PApuoAn.-It appears, from

The SITUATION OF PADUoAH.-It appears, from
an Indianapolis paper Of yesterday, that Gen.
eral Lew. Wallace has telegraphed from Pa.
ducah that an attack from the rebels at Colum.
bus was imminent. The news Is not at all
alarming. We have direct and minute infOrma
ton Of the condition Of things at that point up
to Thursday night last and II was the ex
pressed opinion of the chief engineer at that
time that If the rebels failed to attack within
tho next two days, the Federal fortihcations
held against any force that might be precpi-
tated against It. The earthworks are exten-
sive, and the batteries SO placed AS to command
all the principal approaches to the city. The
dense forests, on the margin of which the works
have been erected, have been leveled for sew
eral hundred yards along the whole line, the
stumps and trunks remaining, so that an enemy
would find 1t impossible to approach in solid
columns, or with cavalry or artillery, except
along the main roads, and these, as we have
before stated, are effectually covered by the
batteries.
The force at PaduCah consists of about 5000,
divided into two brigades, under Generals Wal.
lace and Paine, and the whole division under
Gen. Smith. This force is composed of some
of the finest regiments in the whole country,
and officers and men are possessed with the
highest spirits and confidence.
The bridge of boats, constructed some weeks
since, across the Ohio river at Paducah, was,
early last week, swept away by piles Of aocu.
mulated drift wood. Since that time, M effort
has been made TO rebuild it, nor is 1t, rs far as
we could learn, the v =. # any Of the military
| men there that therr aid be such an effort
The soldiers say th-, Lesire no chance for a
| retreat, and the removal Of the bridge takes
| away the only chance.
We repeat, then, that the country may res
| easy as to the situation at Paducah. If the
rebels dare to attack the Federal forces there
we predict most bloody and fearful repulse.-
