proposed movements against the railroad and telegraph. The information comes through a lady who heard the negro boy (the runner) say that he had been so sent; and further that Judge McPherrin had other runners all through the country conveying information to the enemy.

We have learned through two prisoners that the larger portion of Buell's forces are arriving at Bowling Green. He had made no attempt to cross the Big Barron River, excepting by a cavalry picket stationed about 2 miles on this side. Colonel Lay will scout to-day toward Bowling Green, and endeavor to gain more definite and reliable information relative to the enemy and his movements.

Owing to the acts passed by the Kentucky Legislature relative to currency the people of this neighborhood object to receive the Confederate money or that of the State of Tennessee. They are perfectly willing to receive both at par if the commanding general of the department will publish a proclamation making the same a legal tender. The matter is one of great importance and should claim the early attention of the general commanding.

Very, respectfully, your obedient servant,

J. K. DUNCAN,
