The Battle in Kentucky-Further Parfieu- lars-The Death cf Gen. Zollicoder- How and by whom he was killed.

The Northern papers are filed with long ac- counts of their brilliant victory" ill Kentucky. These accounts afford no new facts beyond what we have published. We make. however, the following extract from the correspondence of the new ork Herald:
 The intention Of General Buell-who in his quarters at Louisville appears 10 have planned the whole aAiair-was, that the two ioFces of Thomas and ScboepH should attack IohcoiFer in his entrenchments at the same time. But with vigor of design and execution worthy of heinz exercised with more success iR a better cause, Gen. Iolcoter with q force oi about 5000 men, marched outon the night oithe 18th instant attacked General Thomas, force in his camp.
 Tie caunohading began abott four o'clock in the morning, and engagements became general shortly afterwards, Instead of succeeding in his design of surprising Gen. Thomas in his camp, Gen. Ioieotter found the whole force, fresh from long nights rest, prepared to receive the weary columns he had rapidly marched to the field In numbers he was indeed superior That the conflict on both sides was terrific is evnced hy the casualties reported. That the rebels fought gallanuy there ls no reason to doubt. and the long continuance ot so desperate D fight eyinees fully the pluck and spirit oI the troops composing both armies. The sun did not uelpQ to Snlie upon tile scene, qua le ClOulS above threatened heavy rain. But throughout the dismal Sabbath morning, and until half of the afternoon had passed away, did the conflict rage It had continued without any decided advantage ca either side. and until within half all hour of the conclusion ofthe battle the re suit was doubtful. And 1t s not improbable that t might have resulted less honorable for ourselves had not one of those chances which so often influence such events decided 1t i'll our favor. +
 At about ten minutes past three clock the Forth Kentucky regiment deploying on the flank of tue rebels, by some means approached the position assumed by the rebel general com mandng and Q shot from the pistol of Colonel Fry is said to have inflicted tLe wound which re- suited in the death of General Ioliicotfer. It appears that General Iollicoter rode out of the bushes aud suddenly emerged before Col. Fry, who was accompinad by some staff otliccrs.- The two parties mstook each other for friends, and approached within few yards of each other. when finding their mutual mistake both halted end prepared for hand to hand conflict. One of Gen. Xollicofier's aids shot at Col. Fry, but only brought his horse down. The Union colonel immediately drew his six shooter and brought Gen. Iolicoffer from his saddle at the first fire The rebels staff, deserted their chiefs body, which was taken to Summerset the day after the battle. Col Bai6e pcyton, yr., son of the ex~member of Congress from Tennessee, had been killed at an earlier hour. The death of their general, added to that of their most srom;,oat rafi eatel osicer cret,s. s.l coaster nation among the lebc!, which became panic, md caused a rapid retreat at haif past three tiom the battle-feld.
