Yesterday morning Capt. James Castleman, of Kentucky, passed through here on his way to Cor iuth. II Is just from LeXiugton, in that State, and brought cut with him seventy men, all well mounted, armed and oGiipped-having furnished themselves with their outfit His men are now at Chattanooga, while he has gone to .Corinth to see Morgan. to maAe arranggmc4ts for joining ais sqnalIoH.
 Capt. Castlcman brought his men through Pound Gap, and thence down through East Tennessee Nearly everywhere through Kentucky they were welcomed, greeted with cheers, and bid God-speed. Trey were entertained with lavish hand by the people Of Kentucky, who refused to receive any compensaton In every place they found the spirit of the people aroused and fully enlisted in their feelings H favor Of the South. A few of the Lincoln home satrd organizations still exist, but most nt them nave disban ed The captain and his men had t,o f-Ats wltf -hcfn as they came along, and whipped them badly both times. He brought seventeen of these home guards prisoners to Chattanooga
 He reports that large numbers of Kentuckians are going of to join Humphrey Marshall; that no less than regiment, lately raised in the neighbor hood of Lexington, and in Owen, Henry, Bath and other counties contiguous, have gone from the State In small squads 9 as not to excite suspiclon of the Lincoln soldiery, and are with Marshall.- It needs only for army to march into that country to have three fourths of the men at once flock to the standard of southern rights and inde pendence. In some places they openly and deianty recruiting and enisting for the Southern army.
 Capt. C, says the crops in Kentucky were never more promising, and that IroFis.ons are abundant and cheap. Corn is worth twenty cents per bushel, and other things in proportion.

 |" I attended meeting of the citizens of Mont gomery county, few days since, and had the pleas ure of hearing that truly great man, Wm. l.. Yan- cev He is fnel0oking man though rather small land one of the best orators l ever heard. He said ill his speech that soon as our great cities fall into the hands of the enemy, then we would whiI them, for all the men We now have defending those places could then be concentrated into one grand army, while it would take an immense number o men from the other side to defend those places | lie said we had erything to encourage us even at this dark period of young c0untry's history | He said also. that while he had not accomplished | the object of his mission to Europe, yet he haC found out that the people there amazed at th' strength of our armies That in the brightes 1 dreams of his own imagination, he had never de pictcd such an army as rallied beneath thu Confederate standard. He alluded, in beautiful manner, to the ladies having so well acted thei part and said that the papers in England were ful of compliments to the southern ladies. This caused a shower of boquets from the ladies there ass em bled. Fix. Coy ernor Moore also made a few re marks"
