The Bowling Green correspondent of the Union and American, of this city, dated to-day, says that it is understood that Gen. Marshall has issued a proclamation to the people of Kentucky, in which he says that the Home Guards in the different counties must join him or be prepared to fight him, as he is determined not to leave them in his rear. His physicians in charge of the hospitals here report a great improvement in the condition of the patients during the past week, which they mainly attribute to the continued effect of good nursing and favorable weather.
A dispatch dated at Rolla, Mo., on the 1st inst., and published in the St. Louis Republican, states that Gen. Price, with 15,000 troops, marched on the 26th November into Kansas, which will be the field of his future operations. The country between exington and Independence is nearly deserted, in consequence of the men joining Price's army.--Gen. Price's Proclamation is unfavorably commented by his sympathizers in St. Louis, particularly that part that says there are two hundred millions dollars worth of Northern means in Missouri which cannot be removed, and regarded as situated favorably for plunder. The Proclamation, however, induces large numbers to join the Confederate ranks.
