Especial Dispatch to the New York Post.l
The Government has just discovered that
the rebels are carrying on contraband trade
between Worcester County, Nd, and Vir-
ginia. Large supplies Of army stores have
been transported to the enemy's lines by this
route. The necessary measures have been
taken to stop the traffic.
The precaution adopted by the Govern
ment indicates that an attack from the en-
emy is expected. II is believed here that il
any advance is made, it will be from Lees

LOUISVILLE, September Is AT nine clock
this morning. when the United States troops
reached Rolling Fork, five miles north of
MuldrouRh's Hill, they found the bridge
over the fork burned, and the enemy on the
! hill, in what number was not ascertaincd.
General Sherman, discovering ford about
breast deep, sent a accommodating party,
which had not returned at four O'Clock P.
| NJ, at which time Lieutenant-C Colonel j Ohm
ston was dispatched from Louisville with
seven hundred additional men, consisting of
the remnant of Rousseau's command and
about four hundred Home Guards. There
was great enthusiasm by the bystanders at
the depot on the departure of the troops
southwark from Louisville.
The city is full of news, among which is
one that General Buskner is commanding
the Confederate forces at Muldroughs Hill.
This is doubtful. Another report is that
after the Secessionists had burned the bridge
al Rolling Fork. the Union men burned the
bridge at NOliD, fifteen miles South of Eliza
bethtown, whereby they stopped two of the
three trains which the Secessionists supposed
they had obtained by the burning of the
Rolling Fork bridge. This is probably true

JEFFERSON CRY, September 19.-We have
DO definite reports from Lexington, but it il
a settled fact that that place is invested by
General Price with some fifteen Thousand
rebel troops. Good military authorities hert
are confident, however, that the United
States troops there have been reinforced
and that unless the place was taken yester
day, it is safe.
General Price is reported to have large
park of artillery, part of which are the gun
takenfrom General Sigers battery at Spring
field
A part of General Prices force is reporte
to be forty miles from this city. His scout
have been seen fifteen miles from here.
Ben McCulloch, with eighteen thousan
well.aImed rebels, is reported to be ad
vanciDg rapidly in the direction of eithe
Rolla or this city. Many think this will
the point of attack. Another object of hi
march is said to be to get between ou
troops at Rolla and other points, and preven
junction, while Price is operating againi
Lexington and the Capital; and if these plan
are successful, then form junction wit
| Price.
