The Capture Of TWeHty-eight Lin
COlniteS.

{ Correspondence of the Louisville Courier I
HoPKINsvILLE, KY, Dec. 7, 1861.
Eds. LouisuiNe Courier: Our town
was all alive yesterday at the an
nouncement that Capt. Balls Red
Rangers We're approaching with IS
live Lincolnites. A large crowd Of
persons, eager to see the hero Of the
brilliant achievement and take peep
at the dragged" tories had assembled
upon Main street. About 10 o'clock
they were seen approaching the town
by the Princeton road. They Were
marched through Main street in double
file; wagon containg their guns. %
in number, and ammunition, brought
up the rear
Capt. Balls Red Rangers have
been terror to the tories in the coun-
ties Of Crittenden, Lyon and Cald-
well, ever since the capture of the
valiant knight of the Tory Regiment.
Col. Jim Buckner.
But to relate the incidents Of the
exploit: A gentleman by the name
of Cannon was getting up a company
of tories Oh Donaldson Creek, in the
northern part of Caldwell, for the
avowed purpose, as they boastingly
said, of " taking the hearts of the
Red Rangers and putting them upon
a pole, terror to traitors" Captain
Balls, hearing of them, left his men
and went into the neigh borhood alone
Ascertaining their number, and that
they were to assemble near McCon-
nell's Mills ON the 9TH, he left the
vicinity in haste, having formed his
plan for capturing the whole of them,
and break up the nest of the tories
which have been infestinS that part
or the country for some time. 1t re-
quired prompt and decisive action
