LOUISVILLE, Oct. 20, 1S6l.-Perscns arriving
rom Southern Kentucky. and some even from the
lnterlof counties tof Tennessee all concur in the
warning that immense reinforcements are pouring
into the rebel army on the railroad south of Louis
VILE IT ID Certain that Gen. Hardee has repaired
with his force to that Tegons and il not in Missouri,
as stated by areeent telegram from that State
II is further certain that there are regiments in
al The army Of conquest In Southern Kenfucky from
and probably from Georgia. Il il certain that
regiments Of Tennesseans, who were In Virginia a
few weeks ago, are now in the army under Buck
ner and Hardse. Your readers will remember that
about the 18th of September, an engagement &C.
ieurred between detachment of Gen. Reynoldss
army, consisting Of about 800 men, and three fegi-
ments OF Tennesseans under Gen. Sam R. sAnder-
son, a n which the Tennesseans ingloriousIy fed.
Ihe three regiments engaged and defeated in a
mountain skrmsh by Reynolds little band, were
Commanded BY Col. Geo. Nancy, Of Nashville,
Cor: Robert aHatton, Of Lebanon, Tenn, and Col.
Forbes, OF Glarksville, Tenn Col. Nancy served
as aLieutenant, and afterWard as Captain, in the
Mexican war, and is considered ons Of tile best
officers IN the Tennessee forces. Hisregiment en-
braces portion of the elite Of the Nashville boys
and of similar material from the surrounding eoan-
Tennessee. - - y . s' '7sS9' a.
Col. Hatton was q member Of the last Congress,
and Will be remembered by the members of that
House as "a clever fellow, and a strong Union man
last winter.g His regiment is made up of the SUBJ
stantial men of his district, and ought to be as
good fighting material as Tennessee can afford.
Col. Forbes regiment, when it passed through
Nashville IN July, on its way to Eirginia, was the
best looking regiment TO be seen in the service.
Maney's regiment at that time was armed with
Mimic muskets, and Hatton's with Mississippi rifles
Gen. Sam Anderson, for eight years (ending in
March TASTY Postmaster at Nashville, was Lieut.
Colonel of the "Bloody Firstp Tennessee Regiment
in the Mexican war, and fought with distinction
where every third man fell at Monterey,
am thus particular in. the description of these
three regiments, in order to show what may be
reasonably expected of the best material among
frrpF r1,ara
their country. These Tennessee volunteers are
Intelligent men, and know the enormity of the
crime they have been led to commit against their
country against liberty civilization, and the right.
They eannotihght5 in such a cause. Demoraiiza-
ton has seized upon these men, and they bring the
name of Tennessee yalor into contempt by their
isnominious flight before a mere handful Of pa
triots. astgs45sB ~ 1sss4s
These three regiments, and doubt not others,
have been brought back from Virginia to sustain
the invasion of Kentucky. Something like q levy
en- masse of the militia is being raised in Tennes-
see; and the very eonyicts in the State prison at
Nashville are daily kept under drill for use in case
Of emergency &r'$-s - |ss5&5 ri 7s:ls5 5S So
A most determined effortis to be made to push
with overwhelming numbers to the Ohio river,
with the intention of burning and sacking the
cities and towns on its northern shore, This is the
favorite idea among the infuriate demons who con.

The report, some days since given out, of the
destruction OF the fine iron bridge across Green
river, at Munsfordsve, is believed to be incorrect
A gentleman lately arrived from there says he saw
the bridge still standing. It is mined, however,
and can be destroyed at any time when the rebels
may be forced to abandon it. Fl is evident that
the rebels have not yet abandoned the hope Of
being able to use that bridge for their own pur-
poses, &, rs a. .e,ssel.,,t.. ss, rs ~, n -
A report was current yesterday that Greensburg,
about thirty. five miles from Lebanon, had been
taken by the rebels. The report, however, lacks
. confirmation. Greensburg is an important po-
siton, and ought not to be allowed to fall into their
hands,. Strenuous efforts were being made at last
accounts to REINFORCE it in time to prevent the
necessity of its evacuation ~ ~ .r.555-
I sZollicoer is still continuing the most infamous
soutrages in the region north Of Cumberland Gap.
Union men are robbed of eyeryt thing of value to the
rebel army and the residue Of their effects is de-
stroyed with the most wanton cruelty. Families
