CINCINNATI, Feb. I7-The Cincinnati Com
meIcIal has the following:
On learning the retreat Of the reoels, forced
marches were ordered by Gen. Mitchell, TO save,
IL possible, the railroad turnpike and bridges on
Big Barron river. They had, however, been de-
stroyed when Mitchell reached the banks Of the
river.
The brigades OF BreckinTidge and Hindman
were till Thursday evening at w Oodland Station
The rebels left nothing al Bowling Green eK-
cept few old wagons. A part OF the town is re-
ported to be burnt
1t is believed there are no rebel forces now In
Kentucky east Of the direct road from Bowling
Green via Franklin TO Nashville.
Breckinridge's snd Hindman's brigades have
fallen back on RusselYille, where Buckner's and
Floyds brigades have been stationed for some
time
Hardee and Johnston were also believed to be
at that point Friday.
Ii is presumed that, with the exception Of the
above brigades, the whole rebel army has been
moved to Fort Donelson and ClarksviIle
What movement may have been made by the
rebel forces since Thursday can only be coniec-
tured; but the probabilities are that they have
concentrated their whole force on the Cumber-
land. II, however, they have not done so, the
divisions Of Nelson and Mitchell will be ample
to cope with all they may have between Bowling
Green and Nashville.
II is believed the divisions Of McCook and
Thomas embarked at the mouth of Salt river on
steamers for the Cumberland on Saturday night
or yesterday.
The troops that have been in camp Of instruc-
ton at Bardstown, were at Louisville Yesterday,
embarking for the Cumberland. Three Indiana
regiments and battery Of artillery leave New
Albany to-day. The aggregate Of these reinforce
ments ia perhaps forty thousand
