GUERILLAs AT WORK IN KENTUCKY

The Louisville Democrat announces that force
of Confederate guerillas again at work In that
State. They number from 200 to 700, and are
commanded by Richardson. 1t says:
"They entered the town of Columbia, Adair
county, on Tuesday night, robbed the stores OF
their contents and stole all the good horses in the
Deighoorhood, when they left in the direction OF
Greensburg, Green county. Oa Wednesday morn
ing they reached Greensburg and captured the
place without any resistance. Here they also rob-
bed the stores aud carried off all the good horses
in the ncighborhood. They robbed the bank at
this place of $4,000 in Kentucky money and
1000. in green-backs. After committing all
manner of depredations they left, moving In the
direction of Bardstown
At late hour on Thursday night they reached
Barastown aud entered the place without OPPOSE
ton, as no Federal troops were stationed there
Here they burned Gas our informant states) the
depot, together with locomotive, five or SIX cars,
and Some ten thousand bushels OF wheat, besides
large quantity of produce and provisions. Here,
as elsew here, they entered the stores and robbed
them of everything Of value that they contained.
They cut the telegraph wires, but did no damage
to the train. Early in the morning they left
Bardstown but in what direction they moved we
have not been informed. 1t is the general belief
that they moved off towards the Lebanon branch
of the Nashville road"

A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE TROUBLES ABOUT
GEN. BRAGG.-The Chattanooga correspondent
of Mobile Tribune gives the following summary of
the result of President Davis visit to Bragg's
army:
A great deal of gossip and military scan mag.
+ has been written about the Presidents visit here
in reference to The settlement of certain difficulties
which are supposed to exist among the corps and
division officers of Gen. Bragg's army. As the
affair has been distorted to suit the fancy and
prejudice of writer's, will now give you a plain
statement of the facts: 1t seems that number of
the Generals in the army of Tennessee petitioned
for the removal of Gen. Bragg from the command
of the army, (Gcn. Breckenridge and some others
excepted,) while the President was on his late
visit President Davis requested personal inter-
view with these gentlemen, and asked them to
state their reasons why they demanded that Gen.
Bragg should be relieved from his command. The
reasons given did not appear to satisfy the Pres-
dent that he ought to take any action in the case
Gen Bragg. on being informed of the nature Of
the petition, insisted on, and urgently requested
the President to relieve him, but President Davis
persistently refused the ground that it would
be hazardous to the general good of the service
and welfare of the country.
