The fi1 thirtT-two Founders which we're
sent up to Columbus Inst week, by Gen. Fll-
low, and Which were reported to be sent back
by the reconnaissance Of the citizens, we're, IN
stead OF being returned to Union City, only
cent down few miles above Columbus, and
ere there now. The rcmonstrAnce5 of the
citizens were only ruea, cut Of 2 "holesome
fear Of Gen. Preut;ss-. Western Kentucky IN
daily sending recruits and supplies to Union
City, and the State troops now In rendezvous
at Columbus will follow those that have gone
before straight into Gen. Pillows camp.
Reports from Paducah represent that city
to heswarmipg with eecessionists, who are es-
out the Union men everyday. Last week sew
e1al Untcn Men were seized and carried over
By force, and landed on the Illinois shore. On
Friday evening last two Union men, Samuel
Renen, Of st. Louis, arrived at Cairo, having
been driven out BY threats. They report q
large force Of secessfonists there, from 500 to
500 strong, and mostly armed.
4 man named Ben. Pickett, living in South
Ballard, Ky., about twelve miles from Cairo,
is missing under suspicious circumstances,
such IS induce the belief that he has been muir
dezed. At a Union flag raising in that vicin.-
ty, Pickett vas considerably excited By
liquor, and was conspicuous IN cheering the
flag. He left for home in company with
known secessionlst, and since that time has
been missing.
