ders and advanced from Calhoun Ky, to South
Carroilton, from which point they will shortly

ty miles from Bowling Green Gen Buell. is
moving forward, with great rapidly, large bodies
of troops To Green river.

rebels are preparing to abandon that place upon
the approach of Buell's grand army.
The Jth Indiana, Col. Moody. has left Cheat
Mountain, and is now encamped at Phillippi
Cheat Mountain is now held by tie 81 Virginia.
We clip the following paragraphs from the
Evansville Gazette:
We hear of numbers of our citizens-htherto
considered loyal-who are evading the tax on
coffee by mixing rye with it, This is wrong and
will defeat the object of the tariff, and therefore
Unreasonable. Patriots expected use
more coffee ;han ever. As for the rye, the ONLY
Christian way to use that is in the form of an
extract known among the initiated As 'Old Rye"
Ii is said that Gen. Mcclellan is considering
the proprieiy of diminishing the army ration of
coffee nearly one half and substituting therefor n
small allowance OF tobacco. As majority of
the soldiers have been long accustomed to the
luxury. they would no doubt appreciate such an
arrangement very highly.
SO far about one thousand prisoners on each
side have been exchanged, nearly five hundred
of whom were connected with the army of the
Potomac. Thesystem of exchanges inaugurated
BY our Government is fully reciprocated by tn.
rebel authorities
