Furtnor Particulars OF the Battle in
KentuckY.
CINCINNATI, Jan. 2l.--A special dispatch from
| Louisville says that dispatches Just received at
headquarters announce that the battle did not
take place on Saturday, but on Sunday evening,
and that Gen. Thomas continued to pursue un-
til night set in.
Our forces followed the rebels, who ran be-
fore them in the widest confusion like o flock
of frightened sheep, close up to their entrenoh-
ments on the north bank of the river. In front
of these they laid all night, expecting to storm
them in the morning; but with the aid of their
boats and barger, the enemy managed to get
across the river before daylight. They lef.
behind, however, all their artillery, ammuni-
ton, horses, tents and eighty wagon loads Of
quartermsster, commissary and medical storeB
all Of which lell into our hands.
Our troops had possession Of their entrench-
ments early this morning.
After reaching the opposite eide the rebels
dispersed in every direction.
Two hundred dead and wounded rebels were
picked up on the field, among them General
Zollicoffer and Bailey Peyton. Gen. ZolIicOffer
was found mortally wounded In wagon.
Our loss has not been definitely ascertained,
but must have been considerable. The surgeon
of the 10th Indiana telegraphs that his regi-
menb nAu seventy hlleu duu WOuuueu'
Gen. Thomas's division embraces some of
the best regiments in the Department.
As far as can learn the 9th Ohio, 10th H.
diana, I'd Minnesota and 18th regulars, and 4sh
and 10Th Kentucky, were among those engaged.
1t was Colonel Manson's brigade, including
the 10Th Indiana, 18th regulars, and some Ken
tueky regiments and not two Of Sch@pf's regi-
ments, as first stated, that reinforced Thomas
during Saturday night. They made forced
march of twenty-five miles through heavy
rosds, and managed to arrive just three hours
before the commencement of the fight, in which
they took glorious part ins spite of their IA
tigue.
The tenor Of all the official dispatches goes
to show that the affair resulted in the most bril-
liant victory yet achieved by the Federal land
forces in this war. No prominent officers are
said to be killed on our side.
General Sch@pf was unable to cut off the re-
treat of the enemy, owing to the blnHy charae-
ter of the country and the obstruction of all the
roads by felled timber.

TIE New AMERICAN CYoLoPRDIA. - This
work, edited by George Ripley and Charles A.
Dana, is well styled "a popular dictionary OF
general knowledge"
We have just received from the publishers,
D. Appleton & Co., New York, the thirteenth
volume Of the Cyclopwdia. Il commences
With the word "Psrr," and closes with "Red-
witz." Its about the size of the preceding
volumes, containing eight hundred double-col.
umned pages closely printed, so as to give the
greatest amount OF matter in the smallest pos
sible space. At the same time the print is
clear, open aud easily read.
We invoke the special attention Of every
person desiring work that shall answer the
purpose of library of general knowledge, to
this publication. While 1t takes in the whole
circle of literature, science, philosophy and art,
1t treats most fully those subjects on which the
general reader, and the American citizen In par
ticular, would desire the most complete and
thorough Information. At the present time,
when questions are constantly arising as TO the
geography Of our own country, as to the biog-
raphy of distinguished men, as to the meaning
of military and naval terms, and as to the prin'
ciples Of civil, military and constitutional law,
auch work Of ready reference, on which one
can safely rely, 10 invaluable.

IDloTIc Asylum We are indebted 70 Dr.. q
A Doren, Superintendent of the State Asylum
for IdIotlc and Imbeoile Youth, for the fifth
annual report OF the Trustees and Superintend.
ent OF that institution for the year 1861.
Tho report is for the year ending Nov. l,
1861, The Superintendent speaks Of the year
as one of uninterrupted prosperity--very little
sickness and no deaths having occurred In the
institution. The whole number under instruc-
tion during the year was afty-four. The asy-
lum, at the date Of the report, Nov. l, contained
forty -seven puplle, being an increase Of twelve
from the previous year.
The building attached to the main structure,
but heretofore used for another purpose, has
been raised one story, and 30 improved that the
lower room is DOW used as gymnasium, and
the upper story as dormitory.
OF the pupils in the insLtuton November J.,
1860, fourteen have learned to read and write,
and obtained some appreciation Of the first
rules Of arithmetic. OF the twelve girls in
the institution last year, seven have learned to
SOW neatly, and to perform other light and
agreeable domestic duties. During the past
season there have been twenty boys in the Asy.
lum, Of whom five were largo enough to work,
while others could perform light tasks about
the garden.
The Superintendent calls attention to the
prOpriety Of providing some permanent employ
ment for the pupils and suggests the acquisition
of farm for that purpose.
He states that in Ohio there are over twenty
Ave hundred idiots. OF this number one-ffth
or FIVE hundred arc Of suitable age for insiruc-
tIon. As nssrly as can be estimated, two-Afths
of the whole number are supported at public
expense.
The following ia general statement Of the
expenditures of the institution during the year:
