INTERESTING rRom KnNrUCKY.


Reliable intelligence was received in the
city on last night that interesting military
movements we're taking place near Elizabeth
town, on the Nashville and Louisville railroad,
for three miles from the latter city. Tie
railroad bridge over the Rolling Fork, a creek
several miles horth Of Muldrough's Hill, had
been burned by the friends of the southern
cause, and all Geographic communication with
the enemy cut of.
This bill is only about thirty or forty miles
from Louisville, and is an excellent Strategic
point. II was supposed that ROUssEAU's d.
vision of Federal troops from Camp Joe Holt,
in Indiana, were pressing forward rapidly to
occupy it, bat would be prevented by the de-
s]truction Of The bridge. The Confederate
troops, from Middle Tennessee, were also NOV
ing up the railroad for a like purpose, and had
reached Bowling Green early yesterday, in
considerable force, where they were reinforced
by a large body Of KsntuckiaBs.
It is quite probable that they will anticipate
the Federals, and reach there in advance Of
them, as they had possession Of he rolling
stock of the railroad, and the line o. road
south Of the destroyed bridge is guarded by
Kentucky friends Of the southern cause. We
may look for a battle in that vicinity, We
think, within a few DAYS.

From \ uoast OF North carolina.

From the coast os North Carolina.
The Richmond Eramirsr, Of the 10th inst,
gives Us the following interesting news from
the coast
The last intelligence received here Of the
naval expedition of the enemy Of our coasts
was, that Fort Macon was threatened BY a
number Of its vessels. This fort is d strong
position, on what is known as Rogue Island,
and guards one of the most important inlets on
the North Carolina coast, opposite the port Of
Beaufort. 1t is understood here, however, that
the preparations for defense are complete, and
That the enemy viii have to encounter difhcul-
ties in any demonstration on this point, such as
did not confront them at Hatteras.
News has also been received of the abandon
ment OF Beacon Island and Oregon inlet, on
the Carolina coast. Il is understood that the
Abandonment OF thess points became necessary
on account Of the seizure Of Hatteras and the
free ingress of the enemy 20 the sounds.
The defenses OF Wilmington, Fort Macon.
NCwbsrn, and other poiats on the Carolina
sea e6ard, IL now 4 matter Of urgent necessity.
Volunteers, we learn, are being raised in the
eastern and southern cOuatie5 Of North Caro-
Ina to defend the sea coast.
On the Georgia coast preparations are active
:sr putting it 10 a defensive condition. The
equipment Of Fort Pulaski is fully completed,
the State OF Georgia having expended about
$4,000 for heavy guns and other necessary
equipments.
Gov. Brown has also assumed the constitu-
tional power to call into active service State
troops to conduct military operations on the
coast. The proclamation which be has Issued
on the subject calls for the thorough organize
ton and training Of the militia. Volunteer
companies entering the service will be muster
ed into service as soon as needed, after they
can be armed and formed into regiments, to
serve for six or twelve months, as the exigsn-
ciea mas require.
At last northern accounts, Stringhsm, the
flag officer Of the squadron, was absent in the
North, and Butler, The commander of the eXpe-
ditien, awaiting further instructions at Wash
iugton. Under these circumstances, it is
scarcely probable that any further demons.ra-
ton will be Immediately made upon our sea
coast, or not until we shall have had time, un,
der the present active operations Of the gov.
rrnmsnt, in shipping ordnance and in boring
rifeu cannon, to put i, in a-state Of defense.

The Richmond Dispatch OF the l2.h says:
We are yet without any letters or dispatch
es from the army of General Floyd touching
this engagement Nevertheless, we have con-
versed with A gentleman Of this city who was
ia the engagement, being 2 member OF thar
tillery company commanded by Capt. Harsz.
He makes he following statement:
The fight begun about three O'clock Monday
afternoon. RosencraBZ madet The attack, dFig-
ing in the advanced guard and vigorously as
sailing Gen. Floyd in his position a short dis
tance from the north bank OF the Gau!ey.
The enemy was successfully repulsed frequent
~, aud hGa!ly drew off near nightfail, with
evidently 4 severe loss. The pickets inform
ing Gen. FlOyd that the enemy was making d
movement with the view Of fanking him, he
Immediately withdrew safely across the river.
Our loss was four killed and d fsw wounded
our informant does not know exactly hew
many, but does not believe they exceed ten or
twelgs, and meme OF them seriously. Six of
the enemy were taken prisoners and accord
Ing to their statement it appeared that the
snemy's loss 10 killed aud wounded was about
four hundred; but cur informant thought it
sre7ter than that.
This young gentleman left the camp on the
morning of Tuesday, and on his way towerd
Lewisburg heard heavy firing during the day
IN the direction OF Gsuley. He states that It
was unders' cod in Gen. Floyd's camp, that
Rosencrabz had twenty-five thousand men
This we doubt; but if it be true, Floyd's GAL
liant little army has q greatly superior force In
numbers to cope with, aud covered Itself with
glory ia repelling its first attack.

From the Baltimore South
Know all men by these presents, that, John
A. Dix, (ns relation to the rebel "Dix-ie,")

Bazaar IN THE CANAL.--On Sunday nj

BREAK IN THE CAEAL.-On Sunday night a
break occurred in the canal, above The Granite
Mills, and yesterday morning the grove at the
upper portion Of Greene street, was partially
submerged. The water had been let off on
Saturday last to allow the workmen to lay
pines across the canal, and it is supposed that
the dirt was too loosely thrown back so that
when the.water was turned into the canal yes
terday morning, the banks gave way. Some
of the Turknett Springs pipes have been
washed up, and the ahutment at the head Of
Broad street carried away. The damage will
be repaired as soon as possible.-Augusta

Union men from Martinsburg on Saturday
report that the rebels have taken up the entire
track Of the Baltimore and Olio railroad from
that town to North Mountain, q distance Of
nine miles, and transported tue rails, etc, to
Winchester, for the extension OF the Alexan-
dria, Loudsun and Hampshire railroad, from

was lately relsid By the company.
At Dufield's Station, on the Baltimore and

in further plundering the read Of some seven
or eight of the new 6rst-class locomotives,
which they were taking down for tr2Dsporta.
ton to Winchester. The locomotives had
but recently been put upon the route. Some
Of them are Of the heaviest kind, and we're
