Ii will be recolected that General Nelson
massed force of fresh troops and marched Il few
DAYS ago to Richmond for the purpose of enga-
gine and driving back the column under Kirby
Smith which had entered Kentucky around Cum
berland Gap. This force is variOusly estimated
at from 5000 to %, 900 strong, composed OF the
flower of the Southwestern Confederate army,
commanded BY one of the ablest (or so repOrted)
OF the Southern Generals. Our forces it appears
had advanced to Richmond when they were at
tackled. The following dispatches received by
Governor Morton will explain what happened.
CIycINNATI. August 3l-A severe engage
ment took place at Richmond. yesterday. Gene
raj Nelson was severely wounded, and is Ell route

said to be considerably cut up. Colonel Topping

Gen Wallace, it is understood, IS already on his

The news OF this disaster dispeled the iOy that

favorable advices from Virginia. Indiana had
six full regiments Of her sons in the fight, who
were being pursued by a flushed and victorious
foe They we're our neighbors and our friends,
and every heart in the community sympathised
with them. The telegraph Office was crowded
all the evening by persons eager to catch the
slightest vibration of news.
About ten o'clock dispatch was received from
the Governor dated Louisville stating in sub
stance, that the reporter at Lexington telegraph
ed them (LOuisville) that the rebels had crossed
ed the Kentucky river, captured our artillery and
the bulk of our troops Stragglers were coming
IN, and the rebels were expected tomorrow (this)
morning. Adviees from Cincinnati give a more
favorable view Of the matter, but those who Tn

and energy. Without firing shot, with.

their ranks were thinned, they rushed up

and drove the rebels down the eastern
