A letter addressed to the TRnrSE from Nash.
willie, Tennessee, furnishes the most minute and
trustworthy account of the robol means Of do
fence in the West, which has yet come undeI
our notice.
Before the 18th of September, when General
Polk made his advance into Kentucky, the in
surgents had about forty-tiye thousand troops Ia
Tennessee and kentucky at present they are
believed TO have about seventy-hye thousand
: oi whom only two-thirds are gOod tor anything,
This il largely below some OF the estin
which have been published Of their strength
General Polk took possession ofC unbus, Ky.
(which is in the southwestern corner Of The
state and situated on the Nj iEi4sippi ri ve with
about sighteon thousand men, and Buckner al
vanced upon Bowling Green, loc ited on the
. south side Of Kentucky inland, and not Tar from
the border line Of tho two states) with half thai
= number, where he was lOinel by nearly two thou4
and sympathzers from Kentucky. Z'lllcoite
0 had IN Eastern Tennessee and Kentu ky abou
| eight Thousand. Adding 20 these few gatn
! sons, recruits In encampments or organizing
i and we have the aggregate, as stated above, Al
! the middle Of September. On Gen. johnson
; assuming command, he iasued a requiaition oil
; the governors Of Tennessee and the adjoining
states for eighty thousand additional troops. The
! mutny which burst out at Nashville wheI
4 Governor Harris attempted to raise his quota b,
I a forced levy, after the ordinary means haI
| failed, is well known. But with five thousand
, mon, obtained from Missouri, Arkansas, Ala
4 lama and Louisiana, General Hardee wa
{ ordered TO Join Buckner at Bowling Green
. Various other bodies were, shortly al .erward
directed by the War Department to repai
7 thither previous 20 the 9Th OF November, making
a at that time the following force:-Under Zolli
! | Golfer, eight thousand; under Harlee and Buck
nor twenty three thousand under Gen. Polk
; | twenty thousand nine hundred; other bodies
q four thousand three hundred. Grand total, fifty
h nine thousand two hundred.
