REBELS ADVANCING By AYOF
URIC & FRANKFORT.
EXCITING RUMORs,
From the Louisville Evening Bulletin of Mon
day, July 14tA.

On Saturday and yesterday the city was
full of exciting rumors respecting rebel
raids in various localities adjacent to the
city. We have already given some of the
details of the skirmish between a detach-
ment of The 35lh Ohio Regiment and
gang of rebel cavalry under Champ Fergu-
son, Sack Allen, or some other bushwhack-
ing renegade, at New Hope, near New Ha-
ven. In that skirmish the rebels were re-
pulsed, with more or less loss, it is pre-
sumed. Maddened by their reverse, the
party turned their faces toward Lebanon,
Marion county, at the terminus Of the Leb-
anon branch of the Louisville & Nashville
Railroad, and made foray upon that place,
which had no defences beyond that offered
by two incomplelete companies of the 18th
Kentucky Infantry, under command of
Lieut.. Col. A. Y. johnson, of this city
From the best informotion we can obtain,
we incline to the opinion that the rebel
force was composed of one thousand or
twelve hundred cavalry, under command,
it is thought, of the notorious Champ Fer
guson.
The rebels Immediately, upon taking pos
session of Lebanon, threw out their pick
cts around the place, and attempted to pre-
vent either arrivals or departures. Before
the rebels took possession of the place, they
compelled Lieut. Col. A. Y. johnson and
nearly all of his commend to surrender,
with the exception of Capt. Barth and ten
members of his company, who effected their
escape.
We are panied to lear1 that Mr.. Moses
Rickett, an old and highly respectable citi-
zen, and worthy man, employed there as
a gardener, was killed by the rebels, but
the rumors as to the killing of Mr. Camp
bell of the Campbell House, and Mr. Foster
Ray and others, we are gratifed to learn,
are uufounded.
A report was circulated here, and gene
rally believed, thst a number of the best
buildings in Lebanon, including the Camp
bell House, the Round House, &c, had been
destroyed. But we have information to the
effect that the destruction of properly was
mainly confined to the Government ware
house and its contents, involving loss of
fifty or sixty thousand dollars. Contrlbu.
tions were levied upon leading Uuion men,
and thus Uncle Ben Spalding was robbed of
two of his finest horses, buggy, &C., valued
at FIVE hundred dollars.
The marauders left Lebanon after salts
flying their passions for the destruction of
property, and wendell their way toward
Danville and Bardstown, dividing their
forces on the Springfield and Danville
roads.
Our citizens were thrown into a high
state of excitements last evening by the an
nouncement that force of sixteen hundred
