sHoRT DESCRIPTION or LEXINGTON.

The painful suspense attending the an1i.
ETY. for news from Lexington, Missouri, is
greatly enhanced BY consideration Of the
size and wealth Of the place, and its inpor-
lance as strategetic point. The poPula-
ton Of Lexington aud vicinity was made up
Of the best class Of the early emigrsnts from
Kentucky TO Missouri, is generally wealthy,
and probably more refined than that Of any
other section Of the State, except 81. Louis.
The early settlers 10 that region we're at.
tracted by the similarity of much Of the
country TO that Eden Of kentuckisns about
Lexington. Kentucky. aud they not only
made their selections Of land according to
the standard Of old fayette. but carried the
analogy to the naming Of the county aud

A REINFORCEMENT OF TWENTY THOUSAND
MEs.-We learn through a gentleman just
arrived from Kentucky, that General s. b.
Buckner, the Chief Of the Knights Of the
Golden Circle in that State, was on his way
to join General Johnston. with twenty thous-
and men. and had already reached Bowling
Green. This entirely reliable. and viii pul
a different face upon matters in that State.
We also understand that Guthrie has come
out boldly and openly for the South; and
large numbers Of prominent men who, hereto
fore, have been neutral, are now taking sides
with US. At Columbus and other Southern
camps, the Kentuckians are focking to our
standard in scores.
The Federals have got firm foOthold in
Louisville, however. The suppression Of
the Courier and the arrest and imprison-
ment Of Gov. Morehead are acts but to in
augura;e another reign Of terror such as
was witnessed in st. Louis. We have a

From the wilmington Journal


Kentucky and Tennessee ought to be sworn
sisters; we fear that they are likely for a
time 10 occupy positions towards each other
rather inconsistent with the sisterIy relation.
We have been kindly shown letter re-
ceived here from gentleman returned to
Charleston from Nashville. There is no 20.
ing farther North than that point. Kentucky
is in = perfect ferment. Every town and
neighborhood in the State is divided into I'm
ionists and Secessionists, and the worst Of
civil war is upon them.
The writer thinks that the majority in
Kentucky is still for the Union, but that all
the young mrn.-the fighting men, are with
Us. The Confederates have possession OF
the Nashville and Louisville r. r. to Eliza.
BEETHOVEN, some Is miles South Of Louisville.
They have also large camp at Bowling
Green. Con the r. r. about IS miles over
the Tennessee line, in Kentucky. and on the
Green River. which is navigable for steam
boats from the Ohio as high as Bowling
Green. but is being rapidly fortified. Troops
from Eas. Tennessee, Mississippi. Georgia
and other Southern States are pouring into
the Confederate camps in Kentucky. and
numbers Of Southern Kentuckians are join
ing them. Gen. Zollicofer commands the
Confederate forces in the Southeast part Of
Kentucky. Gen. Pillow in the Southwest.
while Gen. A. s. Johnston commands the
whole. The only difficulty is about arms.
The sentiment all over Tennessee (including
East TENNESSEE 10 splendid. Every man
10 the State appears anxious and ready ia
fight. Indeed the applications Of men to 20
into the war keep far ahead OF the ability oil
the government 10 arm them. There will be
no backward movement" here. The fight
ing will no doubt be very hard. but the peo-
pie 0. Tennessee have no doubt Of the result.
they only complain Of the slowness Of the
Confederate government; they want to push
ahead. The writer sdds as his own opinion
that that Is our ONLY safe policy.
and pronounced the gun one OF the most per-
feet and highly finished that he had ever seen
tested.
A Submarine battery. invented by gen.
tleman Of this city, was also tested. A large
she'll was sunk under a skif. With a wire
leading to the shore, and on Supplying the
battery il exploited some sixty feet in the air,
SCATTERING the skiff to atoms. IL was pro-
nounced perfect success. and will prove Of
great usefulness should Lincoln's fleet al.
tempt TO ascend the Mississippi.

THr CoasT DKFEScE.-There are certain
points on the coast Of the Confederate States
where the enemy would meet with spirit.
ed resistance should he attempt any often.
sise operations. We know the fact that in
one locality, two riaed 81 Founders have
been received from Europe. and as they have
range Of SIX to seven miles, il would be
hazardous for Federal ship to approach
within ANYTHING like hsiling distance. The
people on the Atlantic coast are alive 10 the
necessity Of preparing TO receive the ysnke,
naval expeditions IN proper manner.

BATTLE oN rHE cREENpRTER.

The express which left General Jackson's
camp on Thursday morning last brought
some very interesting intelligence to Staun-
ton. whence we have obtained il through the
politeness of DR.. Bland, q. s. A., who ar
rived here yesterday afternoon.
Gen. II. r.. Jackson, Of the Georgia Vol
unteers, who is in command Of our forces, is
camped and strongly entrenched on the east
ern bank Of the Greenbrier river. and on
both sides Of the turnpike road leading from
Slaunton through Monterey to Cheat Noun
tain. His tanks are we'll protected by the
natural features Of the locality. and BY judi
cious defences.
His entertainments form semicircle par
allel 10 The flank Of the river. which is here
some sixty or eighty feet in width. Beyond
the river, in our front, is belt of meadow
land Of eight or nine hundred yards in width,
over which the enemy must pass uncovered
in an attempt to reach our entertainments.
On our right flank he would have 10 approach
% under a similar disadvantage. On our
left flank his march would have to be over
fallen timber. which covers considerable
space.
The enemy's entrenched camp on Cheat
Mountain lay eleven miles West Of General
Jackson's position. They have advanced
now to Jackson's front. and the battle COM
menced at ten minutes past seven, on Thurs
day morning.
The force OF the enemy is estimated al
i've 10 six thousand, under command Of Gen.
Reynolds. Gen. Jackson's camp contained
the following regiments; LIST and 12th Geor.
gia. esd. 3lst and 44th Virginia, Sd Arkan-
sas. Col. Hansborough's Virginia Battalion,
and the remnant Of Col. Pegram's 25th Vir-
ginia Regiment The s7th Virginia was
six miles south. on the Green Bank Road.
and Col. ]. B. Balwin's Regiment was on the
top Of the Allegheny mountains, eight or nine
miles in Jackson's rear. Our effective force
is about $500 men.
The firing, as already stated, commenced
early Thursday morning. and was begun by
the enemy. 1t was very lively up to eight
o'clock. when the Express left. The rapid
roar Of artillery and musketry was heard BY
him. and also in Col. Baldwin's camp, as late
IS half past eleven. when it became slack
and was then only heard at intervals. until
after twelve o'clock. when he passed out Of
hearing.
II is generally understood that the WaI
Department has received intelligence thai
Reynolds attack was twice repulsed by oul
army. with heavy loss to them and very
little to ourselves.
