BLOOMINGTON, September 2, 1864.
Major-General BURBRIDGE:
Officers of the State militia at Evansville report that four white men and a negro crossed from Indiana to Kentucky, and were captured by armed guerrillas, and the negro, under the infliction of three hundred lashes, induced to say that they crossed to obtain substitutes, colored I suppose; thereupon a magistrate committed the whole party to jail in Henderson for kidnaping. If you will authorize it, and also General Hovey, I can send a force from Evansville and release them.
JAS. HUGHES,
Major-General, State Militia.

You, of course, remembered the position for defense at Green River bridge, where we whipped Morgan in 1863.

Scout just returned from center Point last night confirms the report that Wheeler is in below there, and that Morgan and Dibrell and striking for Pound Gap, with 5,000 men.
