The progress Of the guerrilla warfare in Central
Kentucky and Middle ana Western Tennessee during
the last three weeks, has plainly revealed the exist
ence of wel.conceiyed plan Of cooperation be-
tween the various predatory bands that marked their
course Of puuder and destruction through The men
toned regions. 1t win he remembered, thet more
than month ago, tho Rebel press of the Sonth-Wea
threw out limitations OF coming "sarling move
men's" by the most notorious guerrilla chiefans in
the Rebel service, such az Morgan, Forrest, jack

parts Of the same skitully -deyised programme.
Yet while this programme was unquestlonably
well planned, it is nevertheless true that, IN spite Of
the partial succes of several OF the expeditions

main object. The conditions of its perfect success
were rss that all the efforts aiming ut the Isolation
