llecting large quantities of cattle and hogs not only, but of serviceable fabrics and other manufactures as well. Buell's delays, synchronizing with McClellan's lost, were so distasteful at Washington, that an order relieving him from command was issued; but its execution was suspended on the emphatic remonstrance of his subordinate commanders. The hint being a pretty strong one, Buell set his face toward the enemy; Oct. 1. moving in five columns: his left on Frankfort, his right on Shepardsville, intending to concentrate on Bardstown, where Bragg, with his main body, was supposed to be; skirmishing by the way with small parties of Rebel cavalry and artillery. Thus advancing steadily, though not rapidly, he passed through Bardstown, and thence to Springfield, Oct. 6. 62 miles from Louisville; Bragg slowly retreating before him, harassing rather than resisting his advance, so as to gain time for the escape of his now immense trains, consisting mainly of captured Federal army w

A dispatch from Lagrange, Mo., dated the 21st, says that George Jesse, with two hundred rebel cavalry, attacked at Newcastle one hundred and twenty-five of the Home Guard cavalry, under Ro. Morris.

of Affairs in the West--the Strength of the Confederate army. Gen. Grant has ordered 1,000 negroes to be impressed at Louisville, Ky., to work on the defences of that city. The Chicago Times says that city is filled with refugees from there. A letter dated Louisville, Sept. 22, says: All communications with Mumfordsville and vicinity is now cut off, as the enemy, under General Bragg, are occupying that place, and have extended their line of pickets in this direction as far as Shepardsville. The news which reaches this place concerning the position and movements of our forces is necessarily very meagre and unsatisfactory, and the only thing left for the public to do is to wait anxiously for the denouement. The following is, as nearly as can possibly be ascertained, a correct list of the officers commanding the rebel army in front of the city, which is known as the Second Department of the Southwest, and of which Maj.-Gen. Bragg is styled the Commander-in-Chief: Fir

started bright and early to overtake our columns, which were in close pursuit of Bragg. When I came out upon the turnpike I found that Thomas's and Gilbert's corps had joined, and much as I had before seen of the mighty armies of the republic, I confess I was astonished, as for three hours I remained and watched the apparently interminable columns of men and endless trains of wagons moving by. At first, the column formed by Gen. Mitchell's division, which came into the pike by the Shepardsville road, moved along the turnpike, wagons and all, parallel with the other column formed by the great body of the two corps. This army is in pursuit of Bragg ! Wednesday morning it commenced moving from Louisville. To night its advance is half a dozen miles beyond Bardstown In two weeks there will not be a rebel regiment in Kentucky. With armies less numerous than those Gen. Buell now commands, Napoleon, in the course of a single campaign overthrew empires. With the armies Gen. Buell no
