to be behind with another brigade, reported 10
be ordered to Catletlsburg on the Big Sandy. |
The two rebel brigades number from six TO egh, !
thousand men. On Monday week a skirmish |
took place between the Home Gaurds snd
greatly superior guerrilla force, 10 which the
latter we're defeated. Ga Tuesday thesrebels |
we're re.enforoed, drove the Union men from |
Piketon and robbed the town. On Wednesday
at Peter Greek, nine Homo Gsurds and a con-
siderable number of rebels were killed in a skr- |
msh, the Home Guards retresting being again
outnumheted. There Ia reported to ts gener- |
al uprising for the invasion nj Kentucky all along
the Virginia border. The Journal says also that
troops are pouting into Kentucky from Ohio aud
Indiana the direction OF whose march it does not
give from prudential reasons. It is TO be hoped
that they will soon put an end to the rebel inva
ders. Adj. j.-Gen. FINSEL has issued an order for
the cessation of recruiting nine months volnn-
teers which is being practiced 10 the central
part Of the State. He says be is fully prepared
to institute the draft as ordered by the Govern
ment.
THE news from Eastern Virginia, which we pub
lish to-day, is highly important. General
McClellsns army, ~ anticipated, has evacuated
Harrison's Landing, marching across the Penin-
suls to Williamsburg. Where IL proposes to go
from that point is not stated but the intention is
Of course to corporate with General Pope. The
rebels do not appear to have attempted to pursue
General McClellsn,s retreating army, bat they
are rapidly concentrating their forces at Cor
densvile' where, indications are, the next great
battle will be fought. The whole army is now
getting into position from which it's entire
strength can be concentrated, and re.enforce.
ments are being poured in rapidly from the
Eastern States. II the rebels have anything
like the number of men that is claimed, .hey
will lose no time in attacking, Pope or Mcclellan.
Now is their opportunity, and il they do not
take advantage, oft it may safely be concluded
they have no such army as the country has been
giving them credit for.
The news from Kentucky this morning ia
rather meagre. despatch from Lexington
repoi ts force of three thousand rebel cavalry
at Richmond twenty-five from that place; and
] from Louisville we hear that several additional
places have been occGped by the guerrillas, but
, the particulars are withheld by the military au-
the State, and under such circumstances reports
q are very apt to be exaggerated. Whatever
: plans the rebels have decided upon they will
. make O desperate effort to carry out before
forces can be thrown against them from the
:. border States. One of their main objects doubt
u less is to regain possession of Cumberland Gap,
q and capture General Morgan's army at that
point. There is danger of their succeeding in this
but nothing worse is to be appreaended They
y, c'nnot gain by any permanent foothod in
Kentucky.
