The Bowling Green correspondent
Of the Nashville Union. in his letter
Of October 90, writes:
The rumor that large Confede-
force had left Cave City'fo for the pur-
pose OF ousting the Federals, who to
the rumber of twelve hundred were
reported to be Mt Greensburg, has
proven true. Our troops marched
upon the town during the afternoon
Of the 18th inst, entering in one di-
rection and the Lincolnitcs leaving
by another. The expedition in the
main miscarried, from the fact of the
approach of u,r troops having been
impaired TO them OF the movement
being made. When taken possess
ion Of, the town was almost entirely
deserted by citizens, who, with the
troops. had lett several hours be-.
fore. ~
1t is unfortunate that the entire
command were not captured. as they
certainly would have been had they
remained and disputed it's occupan-
cy.
Gen. Ward, who was in command
there, is reported to have retreated
with his forces 70 Muldrongh's Hill,
at which point it was evident, from
the recent maneuvering of Gen. Rous-
seau, stand viii he made.
The Ner York Money Market.
e
! Foreign Exchange. Stocks, the Nation
al Loan, Sr-Tle Herald has the
following:
: The New York city banks will
probably show an increase of specie
&; tomorrow, from the receipts from
! California and the Mint. The dis
bursements of Government have been
about eqnal TO the receipts from the
2 sale of treasury notes, and hence nc
disturbance will arise from this cause
Last Monday the banks held $780,
$685. in specie, being an increase
of S1.636,349 from the week previ
Gus; at the corresponding date las,
year when the banks We're deemed
very strong, they held $780, zoe
in specie-the sub-treasury holding
! S4,i7S,445. Under Mr.. Cisco's .aa
ADMINISTRATION of the loan it seems pro
bable that it's gradua! issue will take
place without disturbing the enor
nous reserve of the banks, as the
money will flow back as fast as it Ii
: Withdrawn for the wants of the Gov
eminent. Both loans and deposits
, will show a heavy increase to-mor
6 row. Last Monday the loans show
ed an increase of S22,417, 162, am
the deposits of S24,O55, 651. Thes
l amounts fall considerably short O
| the sum of 100000, which, Of
!, lst inst. was placed to the credit Q
g the Government ON account OF tn
second fifty million loan. The state
ment tomorrow will reflect the Who'll
:. amount of the operation, and it mus
: be expected that the loans will toe
up nearly S160, 100000, and tn
= deposits S13O,00o,Oo0.
Money is in brisker demand, i
. consequence of the increase of specl
d lation on the Stock Exchange. MOI
u Of the bankers get six per cent IL
A their loans, and nearly all the br'
4 kers are glad to get money left wit
them at FIVE. FIRST class paper col
u tinues very scarce. and favorits
e names pass readily enough at 6
IL per cent. Names less favorabl
% known are current at all kinds
rates, from one per cent month u
ward. The impression prevails tha
unless some accident now unfOreses
should occur, the money market w
. remain in condition OF ease for son
time to come, though the rate ma
advance to seven per cent for c;
loans, in consequence of the comp
ton of the General Government.
