Bovine GRsEE, Ky, Dec. 0.
The war policy to be pursued by the Confeder-
Gtes occupying this position of the State is eng
ma the solution Of which cannot be easily arrived
at. The latest movement but one, that hiss been
made since the return Of BRHcKnRDGE's brigade
from Rus.elville, was that of Saturday last, when
the sans command moved from their old camping
ground to q woods distant, about three miles from
town, where srees are being felled, huts erected,
and every thing necessary for the establishment Of
comfortable winter quarters being prepared.
Gen. HIEDXIEs legion together with two addition
al regiments detached from HARDsEs division were
ordered to Green river yesterday, and will probn-
bly, occupy the same position near Munfordsville Al
that held by the Kentucky Brigade upon the ad
vent of Confederate troops into the State three
months since The public at large can a. readily
and with az much accuracy arrive at 4 probable
conclusion Of the meaning Of two columns Of q
porti;n of the army moving in different directions,
evidently making arrangements for remaining
here during the winter, the OTHER apparently the
advance guard of forward moVemens-ss can

Again, another move wss msds last evening the
sending OF Col. SCoTF's Louisiana cavalry to BUS,
6elVlile, II WHICH polLb III undoubtedly re-
main during the winter, in order to check or give
timely warning Of any actual or medissted advance
that may be made or fsigned BY CRIrTBSBEs
Seeing that Gen. BUILL Ia tinoroua Of attacking
this place, and that no immediate Federal advance
Is to be made upon it, the gsss Of battle msy be Of
fsred them in the vicinity Of their present encAmp
nents north of Green river, at least such a con-
jucture is plausible uhen taken in connection with
the fact that few dsys'since enc Of our Generals
remarked that ave wiz not al 20 into winter
quarters"
Another fact, which, in itself, is portentous
transpired last Friday. The expedition sent under
command of Capt HoRslN to Green river crossed
that stream and proceede a. far a. Bacon Greek,
which is eight miles beyond, and burnt the railroad
bridge. recently repaired by RsEHAU. The Feder>
81 pickets extended a far the bridge, bat have
since been withdrawn to Nolin. Capt. NoRGAs's
visit YVES rather unexpect sd but In order to advise
Gen. NoCooK of his presence in that neck Of woods
a card with compliments Of Capt JOHS d. MoR.
Gan, C. S. A." was sent to him.
Capt MORGAN had intended to destroy the bridge
over Nolin Creek, but for its having been washed
away, as is also that Rolling Fork, thus max
ing the connection between Louisville and BUML's
army slow and tedious one. Whatever Is to be
done will have been accomplished within the pres
ent month, and the campaign for the winter def
nitely arranged.
Gen. ZoILICoPFsR, when last heard from, wSs in |
the vicinity Of Sommerset Pulaski county, en- route
for DlnviIle. Gen. Marshall is moving in direc-
zion 30 as to form speedy junction with ZOLLI-
CoFHEE and an immediate attack upon Lexington |
and Frankfort. together with the capture
of the Federal Legislature now in session
may with some confidence be looked for.
Gan. MARsHILL, has, it IL understood, issued
proclamation to the citizens Of Kentucky, in which |
he Rlltss that the Home Guard of the different coun-
ties must join him or SIGHT him, they will not be
left in his rear. Tho whole country is awakening,
and numbers are daily fockinR to the standard Of
both Generals. Il IL their design stated to SdN
vance upon Lexington and Frankfort, no sppoEiDg
army will be left in front of the column here, and
Al stack upon H. front and rear, will certainly
suit in the State being freed from its presence and
Of the war being carried into the enemyS country,
where terms Of peace could be bStter dictated.
The railroad bridge recently burnt over Whip
poOrwin creek has been repaired, and trains now
go through to Memphis.
A flag Of truce, accompanying the remains OF
Gen. BUCENERs child, was dispatched to Louisville
Saturday.
The Coucordis cavalry, of Louisiana, arrived
here yesterday, AID have gone into camp. They
b ors black flg the appearance Of which was the
occasion for exalted shouts from the Kentucky
trospr, aI Of whom would willingly go into battle
uudqr the Sale colors.
The weather, during the past two days, has been
mild and pleasant, with indications of rain.
