From Kentucky.

We have the most cheering accounts as to
the progress of the Union cause in Green and
Monroe counties. A gentleman who arrived
in the city yesterday from Greensburg, In
formed us that there were encamped at Camp
Andrew johnson, near Greensburg, about
1900 Federal troops, attached to Gen. Ward :,
brigade. The greater portion of Col. Glidel s
regiment, which is now quite full. are encamp-
ed in Monroe county, upon the Tennessee line.
Many of Col. Orders recruits are from Middle
Tennessee. Col. Grider will leave this city for
Monroe county to-day, and will commence al
once the thorough organization of his regiment,
which is composed of the best material in
Kentucky and Tennessee
On the night Of the 7th instant, a company
or squad of cavalry from Buckner's band
visited the house of DR.. Walton, Senator from
Hart, and broke open his house, closets, and
trunks stealing sundry articles of bedding and
groceries also horse belonging to Col G. T
Wood. They also entered the house OF David
Maxey, and pillaged beds and bedding, and
horses and mules, and hung up his negro man
to compel him to tell where Mr.. Maxey, and
Mr. Pointer (his son-in-law) were. They also
stole Mr.. P.'s horse and saddle. This squad
was commanded by Monroe Adair, formerly Of
Greensburg.-LOatisUile Journal.

LATEST FROM New ORLEANs.-A gentleman
who left New Orleans on the I'd inst, informs
the New York Express that the Confederate
authorities at New Orleans, when he left, were
straniug every nerve TO strengthen and multi.
ply the defences Of the city. Workmen were
industriously employed upon them, night and
day, and in expectation of an early attack
from the Union forces, Gen. Twiggs was erect
ing batteries along all the approaches to the
city. The extent Of these works, however. II
was impossible for a civilian to know anything
about, the utmost secrecy being observed il
all their military operations
1t was known that several Federal vessels
were at the Passes, s,-and that the blockade
was rigidly enforced,-b but the people seemed
to be but little excited in consequence. Thest
things, he says, were looked upon as natter
of course and had been expected
There was a Union party in New Orlean
until the Bull Run affair, but after that 1t en-

INTERESTING FROM JAPAN.

ArrEMPr TO AssAssINATE THE BRITISH MIN
IsTER.-The New York Times has received a
letter from Japan, dated July 8, giving
graphic account of an attempt by fourteen
Japanese desperadoes TO assassinate Mr.. Alcock,
the British Minister. His residence at Yedo is
within the large compound Of BUDDHISM tenn.
pie. in what was, prior to It's present occu-
pancy, the priests house or monas'e cry, attached
to and Immediately adjDiuiug the temple
There are q number of attaches to the le.
cation, secretaries. interpreters, and students,
all resident under the same roof, O family of
dozen persons. among whom at this time were
Mr.. Morrison, English consul at Nakasalli and
Laurence Oliphant, the newly arrived Secre.
tary of Legation The household had retired,
it being between eleven md midnight. 1t ap-
peared subsequently that this band Of despe-
radoes came to the outer gate of the COM
pound, demanding admittance Of the gate
keeper. Upon his refusal they entered through
the weak fence at The eide of the gate, and
cut him down for his obstinate failhfulness,
wounding him mortaly. Approaching the
house, they next encountered betto, (hostlerO
and demanded that he should guide them to
the sleeping apartments. He was slain on the
spot for a refusal to comply. The cook, who
was met by q party who had gained access In
|
The assassins then entered the house at diff
fercnt points, and were now heard in ihe bed
rooms with loud outcrics, cutting and slashing
at everything within reach. Lamps were
knocked into fragments, musquito-nettings
sashcd into ribbons the mattresses pierces
through and through, and even the bed. posts
hewn asunder in their attacks in the dark upon,
as they hoped, their still sleeping victims. An
apartments breadth and paper screens only
separated them from these intended victims.
The household guards furnished by the Japan
ese, of whom there are in all nearly 800, were
now aroused from their stations in and about
the premises, and, for the first time in two
years. experience, came to the rescue Of the
foreigner.
A fight in the dark became general in which
the guard contended with each other. Mr..
Oliphant had a contest with the leader, and
twice shot him with revolver; but the man
wore armor, and the bail, although it struck
him, fell upon the floor, fattened. The des-
peradoes finally retired. Mr.. Oliphant and Mr..
Morrison were both severely wounded. For
further protection, Mr.. Alcock has ordered up
the British ship Ringdovc, and caused guard
of men to be landed.
