ported to be located upon the Kentucky shore of the Ohio, I directed the rest to follow my lead. Just before reaching Caseyville, the captain of a tin-clad gunboat that was patrolling the river brought me the information that the enemy was in strong force at Caseyville, and expressed a fear that my fleet could not pass his batteries. Accepting the information as correct, I concluded to capture the place before trying to pass up the river. Pushing in to the bank as we neared the town, I got the troops ashore and moved on Caseyville, in the expectation of a bloody fight, but was agreeably surprised upon reaching the outskirts of the village by an outpouring of its inhabitants — men, women, and children — carrying the Stars and Stripes, anhis convoy of little further use, he steamed toward Cairo in quest of other imaginary batteries, while I re-embarked at Caseyville, and continued up the Ohio undisturbed. About three miles below Cincinnati I received instructions to halt, and next d

Wilcox, who was supposed to have been killed in the skirmish at Saratoga, Ky. The rebels seized upon three casks of bacon, five sacks of coffee, twelve barrels of salt, and five hundred empty sacks, and announced their determination to take in future whatever they desired. Ford's Ferry is the terminus of an excellent road which leads out into the heart of Kentucky. Wilcox's cavalry belong to a camp of twel

ol in their rear. The company fired upon the crowd. The whole column was then thrown into confusion, breaking ranks and firing down their own line as well as the crowd on the sidewalks. Four soldiers and four citizens were killed, and as many wounded. The most fearful excitement prevailed. Gen. Harney issued a proclamation expressing his regret at such a state of things. He says the military under his command will only be used in the last extremity, and he hopes not to be compelled to resort to martial law. To avoid excitement, the regulars will be used to aid the local authorities. The surrender of Camp Jackson caused great excitement in the Legislature. The military bill passed both Houses. The State Treasury has been removed, as well as the powder purchased by the State. The citizens are enrolling themselves in the Home Guard, in obedience to a special call of the Governor.

Several ordinances of only local importance were passed--one recognizing the duty of the State Government to call out the militia in answer to any requisition of the Federal Government.

The Louisville (Bowling Green) Courier, of the 23d November, says. A few day since Col. Forrest, of the Forrest Rangers, a splendid regiment, stationed at Prineston, Caldwell county, happened very conveniently to arrive with a portion of his command at Ford's Ferry, on the Ohio, a short distance below Caseyville, while a steamboat was discharging some $4,000 worth of flour, bacon, &c., belonging to the Federal Government, and intended for the use of the Yankee troops in that vicinity. Col. Forrest very kindly offered to take charge of the shipment, and had it forthwith loaded into wagons which he brought with him to Princeton. Just as the wagons had disappeared over the hill, a Yankee gun-boat appeared at the landing, but too late to do themselves any good of the rebels any damage. Not a pound
