LOUISVILLE, Feb. Is.
General MitchelPs column reached
Barron river. opposite Bowling Green,
Yesterday, and found the place evacuated
BY the rabel forces. 1t IS rumored on the
streets here, that the Confederates burn

end no official authority for such report
Your readers may remember that gave
information week or two since, obtain.
ed from parties escaped from Bowling
Green. that the Secesh there would burn
the place should the rebel forces evacuate
it. They had strong inducements to do
so, in the fact that fully Two thirds Of the
property in Bowling Green is owned by
Union mon. trust, however, the hasty
removal OF the Confederates, with the fcl
that the Secesh themselves have no sais
place to fly to, may have prevented the
execution of the 6endish purpose.

turnpike bridges, which l then informed
you they premeditated, was consummatcd.

DEATH OF CAPT. E. G. HENRY.-The pain
full tidings of the death OF the patriot ana
soldier, Capt. E G.. Henry, of the "Confed-
crates. who fell in the battle near Richmond
on the 2sth uit., whilst calamity leading his
company in the sanguinary conflict, reached
our city on Saturday last. The sad inteii-
cence east a gloom over our entire communi-
ty The self sacrificing devotion to our holy
cause IN infested by the lamented deceased,
had won the admiration of all, and his praise
was upon every tongue. Alas that so gal
liant spirit should have fallen-that so much
bravery aud love of country should ind lis
reward Ia the grave. But he fell AS the brave
love to f.llI-whle leading his gallant men to
the charge" his face to the heavens and
his feet 10 the foe" His memory will be cher
ished by his countrymen as long as chiV"iry
has a devotee and brave deeds command the
admiration of men. His bereaved family and
Borrowing relatives have the deep and heart
felt sympathies Of our entire community.
Whilst we are putting these brief lines in
type meeting of citizens is being held for
the purpose of giving suitable reception to
the remains of the deceased, which are on
the way from Richmond.
P. S.-We learn that committees were APP
pointed to make arrangements for the recep-
ton of the remains of the lamented deceased,
and to draft 1t preamble and resolutions ex-
pressige of the sense of the community at the
loss of so distinguished soldier and we'll
beloved citizen.
The meeting adjourned to Monday next, at
10 o'clock, when larger and more general
attendance will be had.

THE BATTLES NEAR RIcHMoSo.--We have
already given the Geographic summary of the
battles near Richmond, which shows a series
of victories for the Confederate arms. We
find the details of the successive engagements,
together with long lists of killed and wound
ed, in the Richmond papers. OF course their
great length precludes their publication in
our small sheet.
Oar Richmond dates are to the I'd July,
but we do not find in the papers any account
of the part taken in the fight by the Brigade
lately uader the command of Gen'l Griffith.
10 which the 18th Mss. Reg't is attached.
When al account of that engagement reaches
we shall publish it.

The MIssissIPPI1S.-We call the attention
of the editors of this journal to the great ir-
regularity with which it is received-or the
great regularity with which IL is not received

nights last IT was not received by subscribers
here, although it was vended in our streets
by the newsboy on each of those evenings.
On Wednesday evening the subscribers met
with great treat in receiving three numbers

From our knowledge OF the publishing
business, we are inclined 10 believe that the
fault is with the mail agent. However this
may be, the publishers should find oct where
the fault is, and see that It is remedied.
