Nashville, Dec. 21.
Reliable intelligence received here reports the
enemy as having crossed the Green river, 9,000
strong, marching on Hopkinsville, Ky. Our
force there is 3,500, under General Clark of Mis
sissippi. Reinforcements have been ordered
from Clarkesville.
Passengers from Bowling" Green report that
17,000 of the enemy crossed Green river yester
day.
The Bowling Green correspondent of the
Union & American, 20th, says that place will be
advanced upon from three sides simultaneously
9
by a combined force of 00,000. Since the work
of repairing railroad bridges commenced, sever
pontoon bridges have been thrown across, over
which wagons and cannon can be easily carried.
Hindman, ten miles south of Green river, has
been strongly reinforced.
It is surmised no general engagement will oc
cur beyond Bowling Green, where a stand will
be made and a docisive battle fought.
Intelligence from Eastern Kentucky report the
people rising in ovorwhelmin g numbers to join
the standard of Humphrey Marsshal as he ap
proaches the blue grass region.
The Tennessee Legislature adjourned to-day
to the 20th January.
The Yankee Stone Fleet off Charleston,
On Thursday last Federal vessels kept ar
riving off this harbor during the entire day, and
on Friday morning not less than twenty-three of
all classes were in sight. As well as could be
noticed with a spy glass from a distance of three
or four miles, there were some four gunboats, one
large steamer which-looked like a frigate, and
the ballance appeared to be mostly sailing ves
sels. One of their steamers was stationed to the
Northeast ofthe Bar, near the Rattlesnake Shoal,
and the remainder of their fleet was near the old
ship bar. During Thursday night and Friday
morning, with the weather calm, the sea smooth,
and a moonlight night, they succeeded in sink
ing some seven hulks, consisting of two ships
and five barks.
This is the first in programme to
try and permanently blockade this port. The
hulks lay on their sides with a list aport, some
of them having already been stripped* of their
canvas, and others had their sails flying loose.—
A small steamer of very light draft was seen
moving actively about, and she was supposed
to be the tug used to place the vessels in position
previous to sinking. They had, it is thought,
about fifteen old vessels to sink, which, if placed
in single file and allowing the large amount of
two hundred feet obstructing capacity to each
vessel, the whole will blockade about three thou
sand feet.
The latest reports from the Bar last evening
say that the enemy had sunk fifteen vessel?, and
from appearances it is inferred that all their hulks
which have been brought here up to this time
have been made use of, and that those now re.
maining outside are blockaders. —Charleston
Courier . 21« L
Firing on the Coast. —The Charleston cars
brought no additional news yesterday, of the
engagement in Port Royal river. As the train
passed last evening, heavy firing was heard in
that direction.
Passengers by the Gulf road, last night, re
ports heavy cannonading in the direction of Fer
nandina, on Wednesday, and an ; unauthentica
ted report was afloat of the taking of .that town
by the fleet.
The Cuban telegraph is silent on the Bubject,
from which we infer the report is without foun
dation. — Sav. Rep . 21sL
• Skirmishing on the Potomac.
The extraordinary rumors of yesterday, finally
subsided into a report, for the accuracy of which
we do not vouch, that an engagement took place
on Wednesday, near Annandale, Fairfax county,
between Longstreet's brigade and two brigades of
the enemy; that our loss wass 30 killed and
wounded, and that of the Federals, from 300 to
500. This is the most extravagant version that
we have heard. Another is, that our loss was
about 30, all told; that the Yankees lost about
the same number, in killed and wounded, and
that we took 60 prisoners. The fight is reported
to have continued three hours, We cannot learn
that any official intelligence of this affair has been
received.
We have another report of a successfull skir
mish at Lovettsville, Loudon .county, on Wednes
day night, in which the enemy lost several in
killed wounded and prisoners.
We are requested to state that there is no truth
in the rumor of a fight near Leesburg a few days
ago. The enemy shelled some earthworks thrown
up by our troops about three miles ofthe town,
but nobody was hurt. Every inducement has
been offered to the enemy to come out and have
an open fight, but he pertinently refuses the
challenge.— Rich. Dit.

The Twentieth of December.
Tins diy, one year ago, South Carolina inau
gura ; .ho movemeut which has resulted in the
establisment of an independent and powerful
Confederation of the Southern States. The first
anniversary of the event, happens in a time of
peculiar trouble and affliction. The fleets of our
enemies are hovering along our coasts; hostile
armies have landed upon the soil of the State and
her sons have gone forth to battle with the in
vader. A dire calamity has laid in ashes a large
portion of our beautiful city, and hundreds of
families are suddenly deprived of their cherished
homes. But we know that the spirit of our peo
ple will rise as their trials increase. One and all,
we feel that our eternal separation from those
who have always hated and are now seeking to
destroy us, is worth any struggle and any sacri
fice which it may cost. And, though we may be
unable, at this juncture, to celebrate the recur
rence of South Carolina’s independence day, with
all the pomp and display which might beseem
so glorious an‘occasion, the anniversary will be
none the less a day of pride and rejoicing to ev
ery citizen of our State. Ch. Merc.
Lord John Russell ami Mr. Adams.
[From the London Chronicle, Nov. 28.]
The following important statement is said to
have been made on the authority of the Con
federate Commissioners,- who are at present in
in this country :
The law officers of the crown have given their
opinion that the Nashville, “being a regular
commissioned ship-of-war,” of the Confederate
States, is entitled “to repair and refit,” in British
ports. Mr. Adams, the Minister of the Federal
Government, has been warned by Lord Russell
that the stopping and overhauling of any royal
mail steam-packet by any Federal ship of-war
will be considered as an insult to the British flag
and, should bloodshed ensue, as a casus belli.
Charleston Lighthouse Destroyed, — A re
port reached this city yesterday morning that
the Charleston Lighthouse, situated on Morris’
Island, and which for many years guided the
mariner to our harbor, was blown up on Wed
nesday night by order of the military authori
ties. Only a heap of ruins mark the spot where
it stood.— Char. Courier. 2 Qth.
The Lincoln Fleet. —At an early hour Thurs
day, about ten sails of vessels were in sight ofl’
this port, at least one-half steamers, but as the
atmosphere was smoky, they could not be dis
tinctly observed. These vessels have no doubt
just come from Port Royal, as a number of stea
mers and other craft passed Stono entrance on
Wednesday, steering Northeast.— Charleston
Courier, 20th.
We learn that the Captain of the Key Stone
State, who absconded from Key West, with
his prize—Captain McKay’s propellor Salvor
—recarried her into Philadelphia. On board
the Salvor were found, besides the arms and
other things already mentioned, several large
drafts on houses in New Orleans, Memphis,
Charleston and Savannah.— Tampa, Fla., Pe
ninsular.
Fort Thompson. —The first regnlar fortifica
tion erected by the Cofederate authorities in Mis
souri has been completed at New Madrid; and
in honor of the übiquitous Jeff, has been named
Fort Thompson. An imposing array of the for
ces at the post—a list of the regiments compo
sing which, although furnished us, we deem it
improper to publish—passed in review befor Gov*
Jackson and staff. The Governor, in the pre
sence of the troops, and a large croud of ladies
and gentleman, delivered one of his usual happy
and eloquent speeches on the occasion, which
was received by the soldiers and citizens with
frequent cheers. Gen. Thompson also addres
sed the command, with ’whom his popularity is
unbounded. He was followed by Col. Gantt, of
Arkansas, and the ceremonies of occasion closed
in the most felicitous manner. Os the character
ofthe works, of conrse we cannot speak, only
to mention that they are such as will, while de
fended by the brave spirits now at the post, be
impregnable against an attack from any approxi
mating numerical force ofthe enemy.— Memphis
Appeal, 18th.
Personal. —Capt. W. H. Crisp, the veteran
theatrical manager of the South, arrived in this
city yesterday evening from Manasass. Shortly
after the breaking out of the Mar he forsook the
mimic representations of the stage, and for seven
months past has been in active service as com
mander of the Dixie Artillery. He comes to
Richmond on official business. — Rich. Die.
It is said that [August Belmont the great
millionaire and banker, has ordered the sale of
his real estate in New York, ad does not intend
to return to the United. States.
A preacher presented a revolver to a soldier
before his departure for the seat of war, with the
fallowing injunction :
“If you get in a tight place and have to use it,
ask God’s blessing if you have time, but be sure
and not let your enemy get the start of you.—
Y T ou can say amen a'ter you shoot.”
