A gentleman who reached here yesterday from
his home in Dayess county, having left there three
days ago, brings the following information: lie.
says that the joint forces of Colonies JACKSON and
BURBRAGE, who are encamped at Greensboro, does
not exceed five hundred men. The number of
Federas at Henderson, previously reported at three
thousand does not amount to more than fifteen hun
dred, of whom nine hundred are from Indiana,
while the remainder, who are of like character
to the horde led on by RossEAU were collected chief
ly in Louisville and its surroundings. The above
mentioned, together with some two hundred and
fifty men stationed at Hartford in Ohio the adj Din
ing county, under Col. MCHENRY, whose command,
from assertions and other causes, is daily becoming
less constitute the brigade OF Gen T. L. CIR TrENDzY.
whose time is divided between Greensboro, Hender-
SOD, and Evansville, which latter place he doubtless
visits to receive iGstallments on sccoun: of sales
made by himself and JACKSON, Of Kentucky, and
what of individual honor they ever possessed, 20
the "mserably unfit instrument" who gosts over
the treason while he cOntemns the traitors. A few
days since the purchased Brighter disgraced
Greensboro with his presence meeting his fellow
salesman the Congressional Colonel in front Of the

Kentucky, is true to the cause of the South they

tiny secession flag which she proudly waved, def

proof, General G. moved off With his Colonel re-
marking that whatever progress had been mace

that while MCHEyRT's men are daily leaving him,
three of the heretofore most popular citizens of the
county have been endeavoring to recruit companies
to join JACKSoN's regiment, not one Of whom u2 TO
the time of his departure had succeeded in eniistng
g man. All the bridges AMI fords across the lower
part of Green river are guarded by squads

horseback He brough: with him number of hors
es for others who had p-eviohsly gotten away and
joned him at this place; owing to the swollen condi
ton of the river he experienced great difficulty in
crossing, and imminent risk of being drowned. Hi.
conviction is, that 500 well armed and mounted
men could easily route JACKsON's gang, secure a
arge quantity of arms government stores and stock
now congregated at Ownesboro.' as well as open an
avenue, for large numbers of brave but unarmed
Southerners who are only awaiting the oppOrtuni-
to enroll themselves in Gen. JoHNsToNs army. The
great feeling capacity of Dlviess county, it baing
one of the most productive in the State, would
der its occupancy by the Confederates highly i'm
portant in connection with the requirements of a
Iargearmy during the approaching winter.
1t still continues matter of great surprise with
many of the anxious uniformed in military move
ments, why the various bodies of LINCOLN maraud-
ers scattered about in Kentucky, are not forthwith
driven beyond the border. When the time necessa
ry for the collection organizing discipniny and sup
plying large army shall have elapsed doubtless a
corresponding surprise will be ELECTED by the bril-
fancy and success of its action.
Since the days of the Iron Dukes extraordinary

Confederate army, while the terrible lesson taught

not far distant day when patriotic little Maryland
will be freed from the hateful Yankee occupancy
beneath which she now lies bleeding; then, with
Missouri relieved and the three divisions now Sc
curely guarding Kentucky reinforced by the thou
sands who are anxiously Visiting to join them,
sufficient force can be spared to give the enemy
thorough appreciation of wars stern realities, by
encampments in their midst and retaliation in full
