THE EVACUATION OF BOWLING GREEN.
Bowling Green correspondent OF the Lynchbur9 Re.
psitttcon OF February 10 says
Bowling Green has been evacuated and abandoned. A
portion OF troops falling back Nashville 20
leave, and portion Of tn m have gone another direc
ton, which IL may he imprudent mention at this time
AS we reached the depot everything in commotion.
All civilians excluded from the return trains to give
pace sick soldiers and defenceless women and children
who were eeng from their homes FOR places Of greater
safcty. Ihe movements, however, all conducted
in most orderly and quiet way and showed that they
were dictated by cool wisdom and devoted patriot
and not by panic and fear.
Bowling Green beautiful town Of about 900 inhabi
tants and the whole country between this place and
Nashville Is OF the finest most cultivated and produc
tive have seen outside Of Virginia.
There are said TO be several Union traitors in this place.
and last night they showed their 6endish exuaton at
the departure Of our troops by setting re to large por
tion or the village occupied by secsssonsts Several
buildings were consumed.
We are this moment leaving Bowling Green for
Nashville. General Beauyegard and General Johnston
Utth their SoGs, board. As move slowly away

beneath tho stars and bars OF Confederate flag noatng

IN token Of honor TO the gallant commanders who just
changing their field Of active operations What heroism
and ara here displayed BY these the most de-
fenceless and exposed.
1t is not thought probable that the enemy will make
an immediate advance along tho Bowling Green route,
unless they defeat at Fort Donelson In that event.
an advance movement along the whole line Of the enemy
VIII be made, and terrible hghtng will snsue. Before
this reaches you therefore, will doubtless receive by
telegraph stirring news from this quarter.
THE FIRE.
An extensive hre occurred Al Bowling Green on the
18th inst which resulted in the obstruction of several
large establishments. The soldiers worked hard, and
Generals Johnston and Hardee in person. directed the
movements of the troops
