Vile. His force is reported to be about
$500 strong. When last heard from, he
was moving towards Hopkinsville, KY, and
threatening that place. If he attacks, the
garrison being small, will be compelled to
iatt back to stronger position aud more
secure point. ! Bieckinridge's position
seems to be in doubt, Aloyal gentleman
whose reliability is voucbed for, says he is
at Sparta, Tennessee, with about 10000
men. This gentleman speaks oil what he
knows, end the facts indicate that Brock,
inridpe Intends to reinforce Hood, and if
possible to reach the main rebel army, but
the position of our troops under Stoneman
aud Burbridge indicates that be will have
some difficulty in forminga junction with
Hood.
