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. PEYTON H. COLQUITT, ) JAMES W. WARREN. S Ed t 0 $5 PER ANNUM 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.”
