The regular railroad train not returning from the
direction of Nashville TO Louisville on Tuesday last,
and it being ascerained, upon inquiry that the teIe
graph wires were cut within four miles of Louisville
the good people of Louisville were thrown into the
utmost excitement The recollection that several sus
picous individuals had but recently left the neghbor
hood added TO the srprehensions of danger. The war
note of preparation was sounded, and during the
night, the Home Guard, about 600 strong, sent
out upon the road to guard il; and, by Gen. Ander.
sons orders, the troops from Camp Joe Holt crossed
into Kentucky, and at o'clock, m, yesterday,
left on the cars Of the Nashville Railroad Arriving at
the Lebanon Junction, a halt was made, and recon-
noitering party sent forth. They went as far as
Muldrow's Hill. Returning they reported that they
forded the Rolling Fork the Secessionsts having burnt
the Railroad Bridge across the Fork while writing,
the smoke Of the burning ruins continues TO ascend, in
full vew); that they went to the summit Of Dluldrows
Hill, without seeing hearing from the enemy or
without hearing from the missing train.
We are busy pitching tents, cooking, &c. Our
camp is named after our gallant Colonel, Lowell II.
Rousseau, in whom the troops have the utmost conf
dence. The rising Of the of Kentucky, 10 dive
bastard foe from her confines has struck terror into
the Rebels and their skuking friends beginning to
charge the whole sar a fnesse upon the Unonisis,
as fnrnrg apology fos tho arIaing and marhhaln0
our friends-but it evidently intended feeer
ON the part OF the Rebels and they deceived both
in the aacry Of the Unioniss and the panic that has
seized their Rebel friends. Neutrality in Kentucky
belongs TO the things Of yesterday. All is sfe. The
sacrifices Of fathers TO the blessings we en-
Joy, will be responded TO becomes the q true
men. We have evidence, repeated almost daily, Of
the Presidents kind, psternal regard for Bis nstiye
State. We hear that he has given his personal atten-
ton to our wants, giving the agent Of our Union
friends audience whenever requested and accompany
ing him 10 that necessities are attended to.
Such Kind attentions must meet their reward.
OUR STRENGTH.
