Urgent Call for Troops in Kentucky,
lElom the Cincinnati Commercial, 1st.1

From the Cincinnati Commercial, 1st.1
General Mitchell yesterday telegraphed to
Camp Dennison for all the eommandants of
regiments to meet him last night at the Bur
net House Accordingly the Commanders Of
the 18th, 17th, 21st, sSth, 48th, and SD came
down, and all except the SD received march
ing orderf. He also ordered the batteries
In Kentucky, and by telegraph he directed
Co. G, SD Regiment, to cook three days ra-
ticns, aud hold themselves ready for duty. The
presumption Is that the care Of one or more
Of the reGoubts will be committed to this
company.
Ger. 3. ID. Mitchell stated at the Burnet
House, last evening, in q brief address to the
Thirty first Ohio Regiment, which was on
the way to Kentucky, that he had news Of the
passage Of heavy reinforcements for General
Zollicof1er through Cumberland Gap, and
the movement Of the rebel army towards
Central Kentucky. Ohio troops are being
thrown forward with all possible expedition,
to reinforce Gen. Thomas at Camp Dick Rob
inson, and battle Is expected in that quarter
directly, Cincinnati Is profoundly interested
In military operations In that direction, for If
Zolllcefier should prove victorious he might
be expected to advonce upon us, With the de-
sign ef moving the seat Of wsz into Northern
Ktptucky, and, if possible, carrying 1t to the
banks of the Ohio. But we think he will BIT
| well whipped, and that the seat Of war will bs
moved 6rther South.

with as much promphess as possible, and got
within three and half miles Of him On Thurs
day, when he learned that tie steamboats, had
fallen into the eneny's hands and that aa AM

placed before him, either to go forward into
certain destruction, or retreat and save his

te1maTched to Richmond, then turned Hest
ard pushed Oh to Liberty Landing, secured
steamboat there, embarked his forces and
baggage, and went up the river to Wyandotte,
where he landed his troops.
Meanwhile Gen. Pope dispatched Colonel
Smith Of the III. 10Th to form a junction with
Col. 8cott's Third Iowa regiment, aud with
euch Home Guards as could be procured, to
make forced march, south, get between the

their crossing, and capture or dieperse them,
and then march Gown the river opposite to

up, were defeated and fell back, and that the
rebels made good their junction with Price,

marched down the river towards Lexington,
but learned on the way that Mulligan's boats

which rendered his farther advance useless.
Ger. Pope could do nothing more; he had

General Fremont in lis dispatch speaks Of
Lanes forces in the southwest and Davis 8 in

There has been much speculation in regard
to General Buffers visit to Washington imme.

as Inlet, ard his failure to return afterwards
to either Fortress Monroe or the Southern
Atlantic coast The facts are, that when Gen
! c.M Butler started upon the expedition that
resulted In the occupation Of Forts Hatteras
aud Clark, the orders given were to obstruet
| the navigation Of the inlets and destroy Il
| disable the Notifications along the North Car
olina coast. Upon arriving at Hatteras, the
| strength Of the forts and the Importance Of the
f! position induced the General, In the exercise
OF his discretion, to occupy instead Of destroy.
Ing tie forts This departure from the ordera
made it necessary for the General to re
pert to the Department here. He had
the qualification to know that Whist
lad been done was cordially ap
| proved, and the wisdom and foresight Of biz
| Suggestions, made two months before, were
| completely viEdicated BY the adoption Of the
programme he had indicated. he had entered
the service without time for my arrangement
Of bis business at home, and went there to at

lianty begun to be executed By himself.

Formidable Expedition down the
Mississippi.

Vast nun bers OF troops and munitions
OF war, gun boats and floating batteries,
are assembled OF Cairo, for the intended
expedition down the Mississippi.
The gunboats, fifteen in number, are
most formidable looking instruments OF
war. The seven that have been built
under contract by Capt. Eads look as If
they could safely venture upon tilt or a
bat, with Hollins' famous steam ram
The bows and bow bulwarks consist of
about three feet of oak timber, bolted to-
gether and sheathed with the best quality
of wrought iron plate 24 inches thick
The sides have the same sheathing, with
less bulk OF timber Each boat is pierced
for thirteen guns, four on each side, three
in the stern, and two at the bows. The
bow guns are Sl-pounder rifled cannon
the Others are S-inch columSads. The
sides OF the boats both aoove and below
the knee, incline at an angle Of As deg,
and nothing but plunging shot from a
high bluff could strike the surface at right
angles. The boilers and machinery are
so situated as TO be perfectly protected,
and may be considered quite out OF danger.
The iron plating has been severely tested
by shots from rifed cannon at different
distances. and has shown itself to be ut.
terly impervious TO any shots that have
been sent against it, even at Iange Of
800 yards.
Take them altogether, The boats are
about as formidable looking instruments
OF destruction as ever navigated American
waters, and if such wise combination o!
oak, iron and saltpe,er, will not bring the
persimmons, we will call them sour. and
let Commodore Hollins pull them DOM
and eat them ct his leisure. These fifteen
gunboats. with their 200 columbiads and
riiied cannon. are but q fraction OF the
warlike feet destined TO swarm down the
Mississippi. There are thirty egh, floating
batteries of 81 columbiad each, and
twenty eight river steamboats,.
The military part Of the rcent. ii
is supposed, will be under the command
OF Major General Haleck, who is now or.
ganiz.ng his forces in st Louis, and he
will be joined by General Grants column
ct Cairo, and the column of General
Smith from Paducah. The expedition
vii! probably be from so,c to 100000
strong, Iorce that ought TO be A!e, prop
erly followed up, to open the Mississippi
