in the rear Of the retreattng reb-
els under Zo1licoder, They pursued them as
far IS Barbours7ille and compelled them to
leave their incomplete ortldraiionB at Cum
berland Ford and fall hack to those at Cum
heI1aad Gap. But no sooner had this been &C.
c0hplithed- than the two regiments we're
marched back In equal haste to London, And
rest Of tie brigade to Somerset Hare the
brigade went into camp On the 5th INIT, while
q, battalion of Col Wsodford's regiment HentIi
forward to Monticello, and subsequently to
A1bsny, to ascertain the position to Whtch Col.
sta1nton had fallen back. The fact ct the re-
forward movement Of the entire brigade was
to have taken place on Friday last have no
definite information of the fact, but am led to
believe from the advance made by Col Grider
from Columbia ut the same time that The brig
eee marched to Albany On the ssh Inst. Col.
In camp at Columbia, Adair county, until |
within few days past. Many Of tho Union |
men, driven ont Of Monroe, Allen, Cumber-
land and Clinton counties, BY Staunton, hare
joined Grder st Cotumbia, ard being armed,
will swell his ranks to about GOO mea. This

brigade, will make his force formidable one |

Uored, md the force Ut the Gap, largely aug
msnted, Is under the command Of Gen. Lee,
ttat this force Will number 10000 or more
meu, aud that the purpose Of the command
snt appears to be to push forward into Ken
tucky and not remain during the winter shut
up IN the mountains. Indeed it Is to be sas.
Pteted that the pushing forward into the

Gap cannot subxiEt one-hnf the force said to
be there, Tor winter.
Whether forward moyemen: Of this forca
the force u1der Gen. 6choepd to Albany, it ts
impossible to SAY. If the rebels do not ad.
vance almcst immediately, am inclined to
think not Gen. Sherman is making all haste
to secure crossing Of Green River, and the
forHaroirg Of force sufficient to make such
amoyement absolutely certain Of success snd
aecurity. Large reinforcements will be hurried
forHarG. Already tie Kentucky regiments
yet recruiting are relieving the regiments
which have been stationed On the right and
left Of the nain railroad route to guard and
protect the flank approaches to the main body.
These regiments are being advanced to the
camp at Bacon Creek Other preparations
ste being made which indicate that the offen-
siye is soon to be taken. Should An etfansiTe
movement be made By Lee from Cumberland
| Gap, before Gen. Sherman shall have made his
trom Green river, it is not improbable that
| Gen. schoepff will be compelled to return to
| Ger. Thomas at London, OF in the event Of
| this being impractic2blc, join Gen. Ward in
| the direction Of Glasgow.
Although Kentucky has not done her duty
In furnishing troops to the Government, she
has done be1.er than ! anticipated in the be-
ginning. I imagined she would raise about
one half Of her quota, which ia 25, 600. She

State Militia, to the Department here, states

ports ct Colonels recruiting in the Stste, aud
the total Of enlistments amounted to 5000
men. Northern Governors viii. therefore,
please TO take notice that they are not to re-
lax in thelr Efforts. Kentucky stin needs aid, and
they will have to furnish il. They may a. well do
do so gracefully, and charitably, and remember
thst Kentucky had Il, 600 secession votes In her
borders, most Of whom we're young men. Not
that they are not doing their duty In that way
On the contrary, they are exceeding all ex.
pectations. The arrival Of troops here will
average about two regiments day, and req.
