A Washington letter to a Baltimore paper says: Kentucky is likely to be, if she is not already, drawn into the vortex of civil war. That she could not maintain a position of neutrality was logically shown by Mr. Holt in his recent speeches. The Union men are supplied with arms to some extent, and the other party no doubt will be.

tions to the eye of the careful observer establish more than a probability, if they are not even proof positive, of undertakings at an early day worthy of our Government. It gives me pleasure to be able to state that in every probability Lieut. Crosby, of the Navy, who has been so much and deservedly commended for his conduct in the bombardment of Hatteras, and in conducting expeditions in the waters of the Chesapeake and elsewhere, will have a separate command.--The Secretary of the Navy cannot do a more proper thing than give Lieut. Crosby a first. class gun-boat. He deserves it for his past services, his faithfulness, capacity, and loyalty.

t of Van Dorn's recent victory near Franklin, Tenn. He left Spring Hill on the 5th instant, with his entire force, except Crosby's brigade, having learned that the enemy were in force this side of Franklin. The letter says: Just as the forces d reported that he was hard pressed, when one of Armstrong's regiments, held in reserve, was ordered to his support until Crosby should come up. The enemy then made a cavalry demonstration upon our right, to distract our attention from the left, whicuggle, and occasionally met with a repulse, the enemy appearing to be determined to hold out, and finally drive us back. Crosby's brigade new came up in good time and galloped along the pike in full view of the enemy, and filed off into the valley an eminence their forces five minutes before occupied, and being well served forced a still further retreat of the enemy. Crosby now commenced advancing round upon their extreme right flank, and for a time all firing ceased.--Our men upon the slope o

In the morning our troops were ordered to make an unusual noise and keep up a cheering, while buglers e creek one would have thought that they were crossing a turnpike instead of a rapid stream, so hastily did they effect it. As 10 o'clock, A. M., this brigade and Crosby's, which had been upon our left, were withdrawn through the woods, so as to avoid being seen by the Yankee look-outs, leaving their usual out-posts behind, and storrest's command were upon another road running parallel with it, and Armstrong brought up the rear, with Van Dorn and staff and escort immediately in the rear of Crosby, so as to be in a position to direct movements either in front or rear in case the enemy attempted to intercept us. Everything was now under way, the artillery an
