LOUISVILLE, Dec. Is.-The recent Nun
louisville, KY engagement considering
the disproportion of numbers proves the
most brilliant Federal victory yet achieved.
Four companies of $50 men of Col. w IL
lich's regiment led by Lieut-Col. Won
Weber, drove back over 5000 rebel cav
airy, infantry and artillery. They were
first attacked by regiment of Texan Rang
ers, whom they repulsed, when they were
drawn into ambush and fred at on all sides
by rebel infantry. The Federals returned
fire vigorously and stood their ground until
the rebels fell back, leaving all their dead
and most of their wounded on the field.
No re-enforcements reached Webber\s COM
mand as reported yesterday, until the fight
was over. Stones Louisville battery sup
ported the Federals from the north side OF
Green River, firing at very long range from
rifed cannon. Four other companies were
on the south side of the river, but were en-
gagged as pickets, one mile and quarter
distant from the action.
Among the Federals killed were Lieut..
Haesh, of Cincinnati, who killed eight men
with two reVolvers, bat was finally killed,
receiving nine bullets from the rebels. A
mong the FederaIs killed were also Henry
loser, Richard Whey, Fred. Shoemaker, J.
natl Smiths remains go to Cincinnati to-
morrow.
Of the Texan RANGERS sixty-two were
killed, besides Col Terry, and Lieut.. Brown.
The Federal forces buried the rebel dead.
Fourteen rebels horses were found dead
on the field, and three rebels taken prison.
srs
Parties just arrived from the scene of the
fight, report that yesterday and to-day Sc
dead and wounded rebels were found in the
bushes.
Federal loSs-1O killed on the spot and
Is MORALLY wounded, and 10 otherwise
wounded. OF those MORALLY wounded, Z
have siuce died. The rebels lost Colonel,
Captain and Lieutenant.
The report of a general crossing Of the
Federals Southwark, yesterday, is denied
and would probable not take place till Green
river bridge, on which a large force is en-
gagged, is reconstructed.
The rebels sent a flag Of truce to-day,
asking permission to inter their alleged IN
buried dead

JEFFERSON CRY, December 18th.
tlemeu, who left Henry county Sunday, say
Clinton, the county seat of that county, was
in possession of from six to eight hundred
rebels, most of whom were from Prices
army, at Osceola, the balance were recruits
from the Northwestern counties. They
were prosecuting Union len and plundering
private property. These informants say that
last Sunday evening, they met the advance
guard of Gen. Pope's division three miles
from Clinton. They think the rebels were
entirely ignorant of the approach of our
troops, and express the belief that they have
been surprised and cut off.
