The Grand Movement in Kentucky.

Never since the war commenced
says the Greenvile (Tenn.) Bannero Of
the goth, had there been so grand and
profitable a tour made, as the one Just
accomplished by Gen. Bragg. Just
think OF it, he has captured from the
enemy, and purchased from the citi-
zens together enough to load train
of wagons forty miles long. His
whole army has fallen back toward
the Gap to protect this valuable train
and as it is now safe from capture,
Bragg will retire with his army just
where it suits him.
The arrival OF this train, says the
f.ynchburg Republican, will play
smash with the jeans speculation in
this country, as it is bringing ono
million yards ofgood kentuckvjean
They also bring a large amosnt Of
clothing, boots and shoes. Two hum.
dred wagon loads of bacon, six thous-
and barrels of pickle pork, fifteen
thousand good mules and horses, 5000
beeves, and a large lot Of hogs Nc
wonder Braggs army fell back to pr,
tect such valuable cargo.
