DREW ....AsociaTB EniToa Capt. Bacon. From Lieut. Wood, Quartermaster of the 31st Indiana Regiment, we learn some additional particulars ia regard to the Green River skirmish. From all the facts in the case, it ap. pears that Colonel Merriweather, aided by the secessionists in the neighborhood of Gen. Crittenden's camp, formed the design of surprising the whole, or a large part, of Col. Jackson's Cavalry, with the Colonel at their head. Word was sent by the rebels to Gen. Crittenden that a smill body of troops was foraging iu his immediate vicinity. As they anticipated, that officer immediately ordered a portion of ColJackson's regiment in pursuit. They scour

ed that part of the country in which the ! vance. Let us pessess cur souls in parebels were supposed to be, as we stated j t;ence. ia the meantime, Floyd has reinbefore, and were on their return home. forceij Bowling Greer, with a force not less They marched in the most careless manner, ; than 10i00O strong. If the rebels are denot conceiving that there was an enemy j feated at Bowling Green, it will not be for within miles of them, when, to their aston" want of guffic;ent time to perfect all their ishment, they were fired on from all sides, j arrangements.

A portion of the men became panic-stnc!ien) j and putting spurs to their horses sought j safety in flight. The rebels, mistaking Captain Bacon for Col. Jackson (as is supposed) charged directly on him in order to secure him as their prisoner. But I he brave soldier disappointed their expectations. Rallying some of his men, and surrounded by the officers of the poltroon's who had deserted him, be made a most desperate and gallant resistance. Beveral times was the little band surrounded by superior numbers of rebels, and as often did they cut their way oni ,j continue their retreat tDwards Sacramento. arvr, thrca tmlea from where tb a.--,s pierced through the fell from "oail, which also cut some o' groin Yyiines.

To this man Capt. Bucon made known what disposition of his proper- j ty he desired to be made, and in his arms i breathed hisjast. The Captain was a noble man, gallant soldier, and an unflirching patriot The rebels, gathering their dead and j wounded into wagons, with tfaose of Jackson's cavalry who could bear the ride, im mediately commenced a retreat. At Green J Vile they remained d uring the night. This delt.y was partly on account of Capt. Davis i who, 'hey usserted, was too brave and valuable an officer for them to leave behind.

Wheat is apllicg on the streets from Hgon?, at 70.,73 tts. per bushel, and por at $3 per hundred.

If the Trent affair has the effect to !

influence the government, i'i the same manner it u-.s the i.e-opi-, we u.ay vurfrmulate the country upon Captain Wilkes' exploit. The iiiiKl. while Ihey coincide with the views expressed by Mr. Seward in relation i to the surrender of Mason and Slide!!, at i the same time demand that the rebellion 1 which has lingered along through six months j of inactivity, should be at once crushed. Our soldierj are now in a mood to dea' j with the insurrection as it justly deserves' and they only wait the commend, "For- ' ward." The volunteers are mostly men of : intelligence, who understand the bearing of '. this Trent question, and they realize the fact, that we have been humiliated by England, and that the direct cause of this hu- ! initiation is the rebellion. All that is asked now, is to give the army an opportunity to wipe out the past, by inaugurating a series of victories from Fortress Monroe, to the Mississippi. We believe that the hour of action is near at hand. For the houor of the country and the flag, we hope it is not far distant. When it arrives we have no fear of the result, for the existence of the only free Government on earth will be at stake, and in the contest, the Power that hitherto hath followed and sustained this nation since the days of the Pilgrims, will vindicate the justice of our cause and give victory to our arms. ggy We are assured by'newspaper correspondents for the hundredth time that the Green River Bridge, is at last approaching completion, and will be done in a "few days." If there are grounds to indulge a reasonable hope that it will be completed thi3 winter, we are willing to ignore the mortifjing fact that its construction has occupied sufficient time to have bridged the Mississippi. Why the force in that vicinity did not put up the bridge in ten j day3, is pirt of the unwritten history of the war. We are told that when the bridge I is completed, we shall hear of a rapid adQuartermaster Foster of the 25th regiment was in the city New Year's day, j but was suddenly recalled to St. Louis, as his regiment has received marching orders. Lieut. Foster reports the health cf the regiment much improved since their lite march, and nearly all the sick in the hospitals at OtterviH- :ive returned to duty. It is thought i A it the 25tb. has been ordered to Cairo, and will form part of the Mississippi expedition. Since its arrival in St. Louis, it has been quartered in the Benton Barracks. J, in town TMuTscfay in search" bT six de?erter3 from that regiment. We are informed that the men who have hitherto been apprehended for desertion ia Gen. Crittenden's column, have not been shot as required by the articles of war. and the natural consequence of this leniency, is to make desertions more frequent. If men can desert with impunity, it is strange that the whole anuv is not demoralized. The Washiuo-ion corresuondetiC of the HerId savs that Gju.

ARMY CORRESPONDENCE

Geo.. "Wallace's F.xplott near Paducah. Padccah, Kv., Dec. 30, 1861. Editor Jocuxal : Oa last t-aturday evening at 1 1 o'clock about four hundred cavalry under the command of Gen. Wallace, left Paducah upon a reconnoiteriog expedition, in the direction of Camp Beauregard, which is about forty miles from this place and twenty miies from Columbus. Deserters came in here last week and reported that the rebel forces at Beauregard had gone to the assistance of Buckner at

Bowling Green, aud it was a part of the de- The Game of Bluff. The following exain of the evnerlitinn to learn what force i tract from a la'e New Orleans letter is de-

j ha dbeen left at Camp Beauregard. Gen. Wallace accomplished this, but upon j his return was overtaken yesterday morn ing at Vioia, a little village about eighteen miles distant, by an overwhelming force of rebel infantry and cavalry. Gen. Wallace slowly retired before the onset of the enemy to a little creek this side of the village, where he made a stand and drove the rebels back with great slaughter. Gen. Wallace then sent to Paducah for re-enforcements, when Gen. Smith sent forward immediately npon the receipt of the news. Gen. Wallace's cavalry are armed with Minnie rifles. Lient.-Col. Robinson, Lieut. Hays, the Surgeon, and the Chaplain, of the 11th Indiana regiment, I am informed, are with the expedition. Great fears are entertained here that the handful of troops will be surrounded and cut to pieces by the rebel?, before the arrival of the re-enforcements. A part of the 11th Indiana regiment, with the Chicago artillery, left here under the command of Maj. Elston, jr., at 11 o'clock yesterday, and the remainder of the regiment, under the command of Col. McGinnis, at 3 o'clock p. m., on the cars. Gen. Smith was at the depot apparently much excited and laboring to hurry the troops forward. Dec. 31. P. S. It is reported this morning that Gen. Wallace ha3 been killed, and his entire force cut to pieces or captured. December 31, 3 o'clock p. m. A messenger has just arrived from Viola, who reports that Gen. Wallace drove the enemy back with the loss of but two men, and that the rebels commenced a precipitate retreat long before the arrival of our re-enforcements. J. Q. L. We learn that a Capt. Bales, ivho has made himself quite notorious in Southern Kentucky by persecuting Union men, stealing their property and maltreating them in various ways, was killed on Friday last One of his men left his company for some reason, probably because he was "tired of the company be was in, and desired to lead a new life. Bales went to the house of the deserter, expecting to find him there. Being disaj)po.iaiedin obtaining the object of the wife of the soldier insulting her most grossly. Shortly afterwards the man mst Bales, and deliberately shot him dead in his tracks. He then made his escape to Shawneetown. Gen. Wallace with about 3,000 j the interior. men made an excursion into the other day, in order to intercept a rebi j force that was moving through the country evidently bent on mischief. Although his troops made a forced march, thev were unable to catch "the slippery cusses." The General himself, at the head of a couple of hundred cavalry, pushed on ia advar.ee of his infantry some ten miles, and, somewhat to his surprise, stumbled on about 2,000 rebels. The first warning he hal of their proximity was the discharge of a gun. The rebels were also taken by surprise, and retreated with the utmost precipitation and alarm. Gen. Wallace was too prudent to attack them with his little band, and before his infantry arrived they succeeded in making good their escape. The weather yesterday was unusu ally disagreeable for army operations, and we fear our dilatory Generals will manufacture good excuses out of it for not mak ing any forward movements. We trust, however, that it will become pleasant agnin. Explanation. The United States Mar shal at the recent sale of contraband goods, advertised and sold certain articles which were not in fact present at the sale. The reason i3 this : a portion of those goods were bacon, butter and cheese, perishable articles, which, by being kept until the time I of the sale, would have become ne.irlv worthless : also four m,,iBa -i,, it i. have cost two dollars a week earn t h... kept. There were in the lot of goods thirty swords, captured at this place by Col. Wood, originally intended for the rebels in Memphis. These were sold by the Surveyor of the port to our own officers of, the 24th and 25th regiments, for the 8"tn of 146. The above articles were knocked off by the Marshal at nominal prices, but the money for which they had been sold wa3 accounted for to the Marshal by the Surveyor. 6kaT" Cookerly of the Torre Haute Tr.nr. nal has received a letter from a '-Farmer" I of Vigo county, ia answer to the problems proposed by the Journal to farmers in relation to the cost of the war.
