NAVAL MOVEMENTS. The vessels that came in at
Warsaw yesterday were schooner-rigged gunboats,
and not steamers, as stated on the first page. Their

The COMING COLLISION IN KENTucKY.--The fol.

the Federal estimate Of the condition of affairs in
Kentucky: =,
We have four distinct columns Of national troops
in General Bueil's department; those of General
Nelson, somewhere on Big Sandy General Thomas
at Camp Dick Robinson and beyond; General Nc
Cook at Noln, and General Crittenden in the lower
Green river valley. There may, of course, be
little skrmishes almost anywhere through the
State, where Secessionists and Union men become
warm enough to prove their faith by their works !;
but there is possibility of any important COLI

RTMoK OF Col. BRowss DEATH.-The fellow
ing is extracted from letter dated Pensacola,
yesterday, the 9Th inst. -. B. ..s-
A lieutenant of our army went over to the island
the other day in disguise, and stayed there two
days. He says that Col. Brown, the commander
of Pickens, is dead, having been mortally wounded
in three places by our shots during the lombard
ment. 4lF 80 Be-. ~ -
For several days we have heard rumors to this
effect; but we are inclined to believe that they
are not true. That some officers of the fort were
killed is pretty certain, from the honors paid to
them by the garrison. If it is true that Brown is
dead, the silence of the fort when Gen. Bragg the
other day opened on one of the enemy's boats,
may, perhaps, be accounted for. 5-gsa>

RESERVATIONS ON BOARD THE STEAM
FRIGATE NIAGARA.-Late in the afternoon of
Wednesday eight of the officers of the Mag
ara, belonging to the south, decided to tender
their designations, and left the ship, taking the
evening train to New York. But one of them
has been an avowed secessionst, the others
heretofore expressing their allegiance TO the
Union. The extraordinary state of public
affairs, and their aversion to fight against their
own states, finally induced them to quit the
service, when the alternative OF taking the
new oath of allegiance or leaving the slip was
rendered them. The new regulation of the
government is, that no resignation will be re-
ceived, but that the names of those who leave
the service shall be stricken from the roll. Capt
Mexican was determined that the matter
should be settled before leaving Boston harbor
