BOWLING GREEN, Ky, January 29-The
damper cast upon the feelings Of our friends in
this section by the late fight in Eastern Ken
lucky, in which General Zolicofer and many of
his brave men were killed, has been considera-
bly, removed By accounts to-day Of a victory
gained by Cnttenden over the enemy in the
same locality. The statement IS TO the effect that
CTittenden, after bis defeat at Fishing Greek.
retreated to MouaceIio, wherehe rallied his men.
lie was pursued by two regiments Of the enemy
whom he repulsed with heavy loss. The report
comes from Glasgow. A colonel Of one Of the
regiments formerly stationed az Columbia sent a
message 10 that effect o. q prominent LAWYER Of
Glasgow, from which place the report reached
here. Great credit is attached to the report and
quite q degree Of rejoicing is Occ1siOued by it.
Louisville papeIs of che Sj-h were received here
to-day. A great victory IS claimed by them at
Fishing Creek, and the rebellion IS pro-
nounced on the eve Of being quashcd. Great
things are predicted as certain to take place In
twenty days. High encOmiums zre passed upon
ZoilicOffer, 70 whom al bravery, h0uOr and man
iness are accorded. The papers state that he
and Bailie Peyton were buried with the honors
Of war and that their remains await the demands
OF our friends. The same papers assert tina.
Sumter Anderson has the same flag that fOated
at Charleston haTb0r in former days, and that he
iu person expects soon 20 hoist it over the same
fort from which he was i-gnoEiniously driven in
April last.
The most exciting rumors, which are at least
entitled to consideration, are received to-day from
General Z. l. Critlenden and our forces below.
1t IS said that he has been hemmed in by our TO-
ces, who have succeeded in getting in his rear in
the vicinity of GreenyiIle and Carrollville-bis
retreat being cut off from the Ohio. IF This be
true, he viii be compelled 10 surrender or fight
at fearful Disadvantages, in which event his utter
defeat Is inevitable. Gen. Buckuer, as YOU are
aware, commands our expedition below, and he
will make prompt use Of all advantages of posi-
t0n. Authentic intelligence from that quarter
Is looked for WITH eager Impotence.
Startling reports from Green river have also
reached here this evening. It Is said the Yam
kees have crosse Green river IN force. estimated
at 5000 strong, and that Gen. Buell. is making I
active preparations To pour his entire command
against this place. We very much question the
correctness OF this statement. The FedersIs
have doubtless sent endorsements across the
river to protect the bridge, etc but not in such
numbers as reported. We regard an early adj
vance against this place as being by no means
probable. In this place al is quiet, not an event
Of interest having ,rauspirej for some days.
From the Correspondence Of the Nashville Bluusrl
Some days since General Hindman from his
advance lines at Glasgow junction, sent word to
the Union people along Green river, Just this
side OF the stream, that he was going beyond
BOwlett's and would burn every house in that
region and would lay the town Of Woodsonville
IN ashes. He warned the people to take care Of
themselves in time. On tde day set aDsrt. true
to his promise, he appeared in the locality desig-
mated. He found the houses deserted, the occU-
pants having left through fear 20 beg their Yam
k6e protectors to come b. their relief Hindman.
after approaching near the river. returned 10 his
headquarters without |injuring the property of
any one. His object was to draw, by his threat,
the enemy some distance this side, and then
poUuce upon them. They were too cowardly.
In vain the loyal citizens fed to BuelPs army
and imploTed the men to advance and protect
their homes from ruin. In vain their hopeless
condition was portrayed most pathetically.
Their protectors would not come. Hind
man still forms cur advance, ready to engage
enemy whenever his position is assaiied. A
feeling OF perfect security prevails here, and
IN the ability OF our generals 70 repel
invading force may be brought against
Us.
Since the departure Of Gen Buckner at the
head OF his expedition, composed f. thOu-i
sand picked men, toward RussellviIe. nothing
been heard from the renegade C~Tistenden
H- was reported as being at Greenyile, 50 miles
from RAssellviile, the day before our forces left
in pursuit.; of him. The expedition that
here to meet him or drive him back to the
Ohio, is composed Of our tTuesi, best and bra7-
rs. men. In an encounter no one fears the 1e-
suit News from that region is looked for with
lively interest.
10 is now stated that General Buell. acknowI-
.dges his inability to make further advance
movements upon our army here. The Yankees
It Green rver have clustered more and done
ess than any other army has ever been known
o have done in the same length Of time. For
months they have bseu at Green river and
accomplished nothing but the repair OF one span
If railroad bridge. Buell. himself keeps his
at a hotel in Louisville, where in gown
nd slippers he gives occasionally a few words !
O his adJu,ants and assistants. Indeed be once
a q while cOmes down to the river, but speedily
sturns to the city. From the most reliable facts
e hand we may judge that if there is ever to
e any fighting done by the other side, Buell. is
the man 70 do it.. The seeming disinelina-
.op Of the enemy to advance, and the sending
way Of maRy troops 20 other points below, have
}r the present materially decreased the life, ac- =
witty, and military preparations usually astir in
uT midst. Artillery practice, parade, and works
