firming your telegram. Five hundred veteran cavalry have gone to Frankfort. The Forty-THIRD Indiana Veterans is here. If General Ewing consents they will go to-morrow, with militia ordered out by Governor Bramlette, to force their way to Frankfort, which has become the key position, as the large supply of arms there invites attack.
