From Kentucky.
A telegram from Louisville, dated the 24th, gives the following intelligence about General Lyon's progress in Kentucky:‘ General Lyon's force, estimated at from two thousand to three thousand cavalry, with six guns, struck the Louisville and Nashville railroad at Elizabethtown, and destroyed a few unimportant spans over Bacon creek, a small stream, and then turned north, and are now threatening the important trestlework at Muldraugh's Hill. Lagrange's brigade, of McCook's division, is close upon Lyon's rear. Our military authorities are prepared to give Lyon a warm reception.
’ On Saturday, the steamer Morning Star, Captain Ballard, bound from Louisville, put in at Lewisport, and was boarded by fifty guerrillas, under Captain Davidson, who robbed the passengers of three hundred thousand dollars. Shots were fired by the guerrillas at some of the parties in the cabin, injuring no one. They subsequently killed two discharged soldiers on deck, and then compelled Captain Ballard to transport them to Cloversport, where they released the boat.
