DESTRUCTION OF GREER RIVER BRIDGE
The bridge across Green river, on the BardstowT
and Nashville turnpike, eight miles from the
railroad bridge over Green river, was destroyed
by theTebels on huTsdaylast Theneeessity that
led TO this destruction OF valuable property is not
known, but il is supposed that the Tascals were
suddenly seized with a desire to commit some
unnatural outrage, and that the bridge in ques-
ton having no guard about it, offered an oppOr-
tuuity for the indulgence Of the peculiar rapacity
Of the southern vandsls.
EXCITING RUMoRs FROM NELSON COUNTY.
detachment OF five hundred men from the 10th
Indiana regiment left this city on Saturday and
proceeded at once to Bardstown, occupying the
place. Iii is understood that a party of six hun
dred rebels were entreuched on the farm of Arch.
Wilson, about half way between BaTdsjown and
Bloomfield, and il was TumoYed last evening that
an engagement had taken place between the five
hundred 10Th Indianians and the rebels, with
what result we were not informed. Arrange
ments were made at once 20 reinforce the Fede-
raj troops.
AFFAIRS UP GREEN RIvER.-We learn by
lestOr from Evansville. Ind, that five hundred
hoops from Terre Haute, Ind, have gone up
Green river, Ky, and taken possession of locks
Nos. l and ?. The expedition was fred upon on
board The boat as they were ascending the stream
by one man, who attempted to escape. The fire
was returned, however, and the rebel who made
the assault was pierced by seven minnie balls,
and fell dead.
Everything was quiet at Evansville on Thurs
day and large numbers Of troops were arriving
daily from the camp at Terre Haute and various
portions of kentucky. Col. Hawkins, of Bowl
ING Green, arrived at Evansville on Wednesday
with three or four hundred men, who are making
preparations for an expedition mp Green river.
RETURN or THE HOME GUsRDs-Our gal
liant citizen soldieIy who responded so promptly
he call 70 arms ON The 10Th inst, when it was
known that orr city was in danger Of assault
from the rebel forces under Bucluler's command,
all returned to the city on Saturday evening,
having served one day beyond the ten days tor
which they were called into the field.
AFFAIRS IN BARREN CoUNTY-We have
letters from Glasgow, Ky, 10 the 10th inst, from
which we learn that the intentions Of the rebels
in that vicinity are taking such shape as may
well excite the indignation of every true Ken
tuckian. Joseph II. Lewis, the recently de-
feated candidate for Congress in that district, j.
organizing q regiment Of intanTvto be mustered
into the service Of the Conlederacy on Kentucky
soil. Tho National Blues, Capt. Clark, from
Louisville. with the Lewis Guards of Glasgow
went into camp on the 10th. Our correspondent
has il from the lips of several OF the soldiers that
hey expect TO remain in Barren county. They
evidently mean mischief, and, though their Off
GERS cry ont against a cOwardly attack upon an
unarmed, unorganized camp, the writer think,
the Union-lOying citizens Of the adjoining com
ties win be violently opposed to the presence o
! such an enemy at the very threshold OF then
dwellings.
CAPT. GIBSON's EXPEDITION.-Wc have
orr usual letters from Capt. T.. w, GibsOn's com
mand at the mouth Of Salt river. The hide
pendent National Guards, Capt. Semple, returned

%plsnting a battery. The works are now nearly
completed, and the Guards have been relieved
from further duty for the present.

Lean, Of Evansville, Ind, and e clerk for J.. II.
Maghee & Co, together with two kentuckians,
whose names are not given. Were arrested az
Evansville, on Thursday, ON a charge OF con-
spring against the government. OF something
equivalent. The journal says that letters were
found on the latter showing the completely Of
Capt. Mclean ia their operations, and a close
watch kept upon them proved that all was not
right. On an examination, however, full legal
proof was wanting to warrant a trial for treason
able conquest, and the parties were released. An
examination Of the letters alluded 20 indicates
that something mysterious and not very credita-
bic has been going ON, rendering the loyalty Of
Capt. Mclean 10 the government which protects
him very doubtful.
