Loumvias, Ky., Sopt. 14, 1862, Yesterday afternoon tho Fiftieth Indiana regimont, q | Dunham, started for Munfordsville, on the Louis- ’ and Nashville Railroad, seventy-two miles south of Place. In addition to the regiment, the train that them conveyed a largo smount of arms aud am* vindhition. i A TROOP TRAIN OFF THE TRACK. ‘Six miles’ this side of its destination the train ran off the track and was wrecked. In this condition the soldiers ‘abandoned it and pushed on for Munfordsville on foot, THE REBELS RIPLING THE WRECK. This morning a train was started out from here with a gang of workmen to clear the track of this wreck and re. pair such damages as might have becn done by the @coldont. On arriving within one mile of the scene the accident, it was met by a Union soldier, who report. ‘od that a bittle was in progress at Munfordaville; that he ‘had been captured by the rebels, but bad escaped, and, ‘finally, that a large body of rebels were at that time at ‘the wreck, only a mile ahead, plundering it of such pro- perty as had been left by the troops when they abandon- ed it. ‘THE FIRING AT MUNFORDSVILLE ould be distinctly heard at this place, and,as it was heavy and continuous, corroborating the fugitive sol- ‘dior’s statement, the conductor of the train doemed it wrudent to run back to this city to prevent his engine 1 into the enemy’s hands. EXCITRMENT IN LOUISVILLE. ‘The vows of the battie spread like wilddre in this city, Causing tho most intense excitement. MUNFORDSVILLE “Es a station on the Louisville and Nashville Railroad, at ‘the crossing of the Groon river. The river is crossed here fea a splendid iron trestle bridge fifteon hundred feet in Yength. Whether it was the desire of tho robels to get at ‘and dostroy this bridge, so as to provent reinforcements getting to Buell from here, or to prevent Bueil coming to roinforce this city, wore problems of difficult solution. fuofordaville is on the direct southern approach to illc, as Frankfort is on the eastorn. POSTON OF KIRBY SMITH. Kirby Smith was known to have beon at Frankfort, with his army, on Saturday eveniog; and now, should a * wbrong rebel force find lodgment at Munfordsville and ‘Mestroy the railroad bridge there, thus placing a broad ‘aad impassable river between them and Buell’s army, ‘this city would be doubly menaced and cut off from the succor that it had hitherto been supposed Buell’s army + bould give it. RUMORS OF ALL KINDS flew through the city, gathering terror and alarm as they upread. Citizens congregated in the hotels and saloons aad discussed the probabilities of immediate extinction. Firat, we were told that the brave Indiana boy, et Munfordeville bad repulsed the rebels; then thay whole garrison, four thousand strong, had eurren- , @nd that the place was in undisputed possession rebels. One account said that the attacking party ‘was a portion of Kirby Smith’s force, while another had 4 that Polk and Duncan commanded the assault. i THE RXCITEMENT SULSIDES. Atalator hour this evening the excitement cooled down considerably, on the reception of official despatehes ‘@t headquarters here. These furnish an @u- theatic account of the battle. UNION DRIVEN IN.

At this juncture a fing of truce was observed approach- ingour camp. It was received, and found to cover the 'y of one Colonel Scott, the reputed commander of the ‘Third Louisiana cavalry. Colouel Scett bore a message from ier General Duncan, commanding the rebel forces, demanding an immediate surrender the town and tho garrison. ‘ COLONEL WILDER'S REPLY. + Qolone!

Loviavinam, Ky., Sept. 167. Mt. News from below, in the vicinity of Bowling Groon and Nashville, is fraught with considerable: ntorest. ‘THR FORCES OF HURL AND ORAGG are manmuvering in close proximity to each other, each party striving to secure the most advantageous position, thieir‘advanéed and flanking parties frequently coming in collision, with greater or less serious results. FIGHT NKAR CAVE CITY. A battle seems to have taken placo in the vicinity of Bell’s tavern, four miles south of Cave City, between Bragg’s aivance and a portion of General Rousseau’s divi sion,early yesterday morning. The particulars of thi® affair are very meagre. BRAGG’S RECENT MOVEMENTS, It would seem that when Bragg croased the Cumbor land ho pushed directly for Tompkinsville, with a view of reaching’ the rich and productive region about Glasgow and Bowling Green, to there secure the subsistence for his army which could not bo obtained in the more barrer: country immediately north of Burksville. HE MOVBD WITH THE UTMOST RAPIDITY, with General Bishop Polk in the advance with ten thou gand men; and so close did this division approach 1 column of our forces moving to Glasgow also, that the latter was forced to turn from ita route and march with all haste to Bowling Green, in order to avoid a battle, which it was not deemed policy to give at that time, BRAGG REACHED GLASGOW ON THURSDAY NIGHT, the 11th inst., and during the following day had suc- ceeded in bringing his whole force up, which immediate! went into camp song teaver creck and in the western Portion of the town of Glasgow. THE RAILROAD TUNNEL MBAR CAVE CITY DESTROYED BY THY RRDELS. On Friday night despatched a force to destroy a tunuel on the Louisville and- Nashville Railroad, three miles south of Cave ay. A portion of General Rousseau’« division were at this point to protect An engagemet ensued, though the rebels had matters y much their own way, having ry mpeieee. ‘of gumbers, and socom drove the Union! . They then succeeded in burning the ‘woodwork of the tunnel, and immediately retired to Glas- No partiow’ars of this affhir We ‘further than the above ve reached here. BRAGG DONS Mo? WISH A GENERAL ENGAGEMENT TET. It-seems to be the received opinion here that Bragg is seokting to avoid a engagement for the it. He doubtless expects to be reinforced by Kirby ith, who is now on the skedaddle from Cincinnati, and making forced marches to reach Bragg, CONDITION OF BURLL'S ARMY. But doubtless a battle will be furced on imme- diately. No fears need bo entertained of the result of such an engagement, as Buell’s army is now in fine condition, splendidly organized, well concentrated and in Leis way ready to give battle. This army is fully adequate for the work that seems to be before .it. Themen are anxious for the fight, and when led into it will have perfect confi dence in their leader ,and @ unanimous desire and inten- tion to win. ‘THE REPORTED MERTING OF THE REBEL KENTUCKY LEGISLATURE. Itis reported here in certain circles, where such in- formation ought to be rehable, that the rebel Legislature of Kentucky is to meet at Frankfort to-morrow. It will, doubtless, be a grand convocation, All the leading trai- tors and renogades of the State will probably venture in toattend this august assemblage, being assured of the protection of the rebel army and all the hordes of bushwhackers and bandits that infest the country. REBEL ACCOUNTS. ‘The rebels have lately recruited onc hundred and fifty men in Shelby county, which adjoins,on the east, the county in which Louisvillo is situated. They have also seized thousands of arms in various parts of the State. Indeed, wherever gc go they seek to sweep the country clean, taking off all the population available for fighting Purposes, all the guns and ammunition to be found, all the forage and subsistence that can be begged, bougnt or stolen, allthe horses, mules and cattle, and everything, im fact, that can strengthen their army, weaken ours by ite absence, and render the country uninhabitable and desolate. It is very plain from their modus operandi that they have no intention, If, indeed, they deem it possible, to hold the State. Their invasion is merely a desperate a to ure subsistence for their army and give ita jittle encouragement for the moment. Another Account. Lovievitte, Sept. 13, 1862. ‘There isa lull inthe notes of dreadful preparation, but it is the lul—the quiet of the night before the battle: The marching and countermarching is ended, and the hosts aro being marshalled for the coming fray. In front of this eity the enemy is quict, but further in the inte. rior we know that a dreadful conflict is at hand. ‘THE CLOSE PROXDATY OF THE CONTENDING FORCES. Thave met an officer from Bowling Green, and from him Ihave obtained information of the situation and of events which have transpired since I left there on the 10th, hoping to return immediately, He states an im- portant fact, which shows how near the opposing force have been, and are, together. You will remember that my letters from different points between Bowling Green and Nashville detailed the movements of General Buell’s army in two columns northward, with Bowllng Green as the destination of one and Glasgow that of the other. I now learn that has moved sofar westward as to force the column led by Wood’s division in the advance to leave its route and strike for Bowling Green. In the meantime Bragg has moved to Glasgow, and on the 11th took possession of that point, General Polk be- ing in advance with tenthousand meu. Bragg was sup- posed to be close in the rear with the corgs of Hardee. REBBL CAVALRY RAIDS. A rebel cavalry force, hanging on the rear of our troops, entered Franklin on the 11th and destroyed part of the railroad track north of the town, thus preventing the trains from going through. ‘There was a report prevalent here last night that this party had cut off Buell’s supplies, and that a battle had ensued between the two armies; but there is no truth in it, The massing of both armies is about completed, and the struggle must come. There are eight thousand rebel troops at Lebanon. ‘THN SITUATION. With Buell massed at Bowling Green, Bragg will not venture to move further north. Whether he will draw off Smith from Cincinnati or not remains to be seen. At prtsentI think a junction of the two is out of the ques- tion, Lovisvm1g, Sept. 14, 1862. ‘THE FORTUNES OF Wan. War has its mutations as great as those of politics, ‘The vicissitudes of a military campaign are as many and grievous as those of a political contest. The present re- Jative position of the armies of Buell and Bragg is an il- * lustration of this, not less curious and interesting than strange and wonderful. There ne longer exists a reason why the people of the North should not be made aware of the position of Gen. Buell’s army. Bragg knows it—knows it well, and knows its force and doubtiess its plans. But it is @ strange fact that the people of the North—the public so deeply interested in its welfare and so fully entitled to know of its achievements and posi- tion, are in almost entire ignorance of Buell’s present position. But few are aware that, after six months of varying fortune, the army which took the strongty forti ged position of Bowling Green now rests within its trenches; and that a rebel army, almost identicaliy the same which six months ago evacuated it, now lies in its front, but at a respectful distance, waiting for an oppor. wunity to retake it. A YEARAGO. On the 16th of this month, and nearly a year ago, Buck. ner, in command of a brigade of General Johnston's army, entered Kentucky and took possession of Bowling Green, He immodiately began to fortify the naturally strong position, and in a few months rendered it what was designated as impregnable, The position wag flanked, evacuated and fell into our hands. Leaving a squad to hold it our army passed on into Tennessee. TWELVE MONTHS AFTER. On the 10th of this month, of the present year, the army of General Buell entered the same city, and entered it after a forced march of many miles to find the same Buckner in command of a division of a revel army under Bragg in its front. And as Buckner, to hold Nashville: had found it necessary to fortify Bowling Green, so Buell, to secure the safety of the same place, bas had to man the works evected a year ago. These are among the strangest of the strange fortunes of the war. HOW WOOD WAS FORCED PROM GLASGOW. Ibavo sent you all the informatien in rogard to the march of Buell’s army from Nashville to Bowling Green: I did not, however, state that the column which marched by Gallatin, and whose destination was Glasgow, did not succeed in reaching that point. 1 did net accompany that column, and only learned after reaching this city thut it failed to accomplish its mission. I knew on leaving Nashville on Sunday night that the column indicated had orders to move rapidly and to reach Glasgow at a eortain hour, and that it bad been intimated to the officers that it was a foot race between the column and Bragg as to which should get a position on Beaver creek, near Glasgow, first. It was a mistake not to intimate this to the men. They would have succeeled in effecting the 4 Bragg would not now have been feasting on the Barrack."’ But it is now known that Gen. ‘Wood, having the advance of the column, moving to Glas- gow, found on his arrival at Scottaville that he was sev Fal hours behind Bishop Polk, who led Bragg’s advance. ‘The road from Scottsville to Glasgow takes a northeast- erly direction on leaving the former placo, and about twenty mniles out ayy ches ve t he og to the Vompkins- villo and Glasgow road, upon which Polk was moving, and, aware of the importance of Glasgow, was moving vory rapidly, A consultation was had, and Gen. Buell consulted, The culumn was moved by the south of Bar. ron river road to Bowling Green, where Gen. Buell now has the whole army well in hand BRAGG'S POSITION. At the samo time Bragg is at Glasgow, with his whole Beaver creek, and btless intrenched. This natural advantage, as it half oncircies nolosing the whole town as in @ crescent.

The sudden dissppearance of Smith from in front of Cincinnat! and the rapidity of bis retreat intimate forcibly enough that he is making a forced march to roach Bragg and strengthen him before Bull stall attack him.

Buell’s force at Bowling Green does not comprise his whole army, but it is fally adequate to the work be- fore it. General Thomas, with the divisions of Generals Schoepff and Negley—the First aud Eigbth—has force fully- enough to hold Nashville. e rebel force which has just occupied Murfreesboro, evacuated by General Bueil, is one Seen, General Bragg’s army, under Brigadior General Maxey, and totally unable to do more than demonstt against Nashville. General Tho- mas is no: likely to allow him to remain in quiet at Mur- freesboro while he nas so able and dashing an officer as Negicy to send against him. General Rousseau had tho advance into the State and doubtless retained it. Crittenden, another son of Ken- tucky, followed him, Wood, Ammon, and Me\ook bring- ing their legions to the scene of triumph a year ago; and this whole army is imbued with a spirit which will make them victorious. THE SECOND BATTLE OF MUNFORDSVILLE. We hear nothing from Buell, as communication by wire aud rail is cut off, but Bragg bas made himself heard at Manfordsville. Tonight comes a report af a battle fought at that point, between an Indiana brigade and Simon Bolivar Buckner’s division of Bragg’s army, sided bya b pre J force, north of Greon river. I have been enabiet to obtain the following facts:— Colonel Wilder, Seventeenth Indiana infantry, had given notice on Saturday that he auticipated an aitack, and urged the propriety of reinforcing him. The Fighty- third avd Fifticth Indiana were sent to nd reached the town early Sunday morning, after be: thrown of the track six miles from Munfordsville. They understood, however, the esity for prompt action, an ed into the works during the night, ana reinforce! Col. Witter. Thus reinforced, our brigade was organized as low -— FORCE DEFENDING MUNFORDSVILLE. Colonel Wilder, Seventeenth Indiana, commanding. Seventoenth Indiana Volunteers, infantry.

They afforded little aid to their own troops during the ongage- meu, merely annoying a small force holding the lower THR MAIN ATTACK WAS MADE AT DAYIGHT by Buckner from the southern side of the river. Our men were at the time drawn up in tho pits, the reinforce- ments having been posted immediately ou thoir arrival. ‘The first shel! from the rebels came from a battery posted near the tollgate house, and? within the intrench. ments, Shortly after the fight became general, and lasved until about eleven o'clock, when the rebels withdrew to the cover of the hilis beyond the turnpike road to Bowling Green. During the mornin, gagement the rebels made an assault, which was persisted in uutil they reached the very pits of our work. Bat the dreadful und unceasi fire from our splendidly armed men drove thein back with terrible loss. Their dead remained whore they fell, almost under the works, and their lose in this assault was frightful. COLONRL WILDER MADE A SORTIR with great success, aud succeeded in capturing two pieces of artillery, which he brought into the works ail added to hie little battery. Col. Wilder is reported to have ounducted himself admirably throughout the engage- ment, and to have displayed great skill and ability in dis- posing and in manquvering bis tro THE REBELS QUIEFED, The rebels remained quiet for the rest of the day, About (our o'clock they sent in a fig of truce, with a nov signed by Arigadier General Duncan, requesting a cessa- tion while they buried their dead. This was granted by Colonel Wilder, and it is presumed that the rebels used the time thus granted in bringing up reinforcemams and making other prep arations for a renewal of the aseauit. T have no list of the killed, and at this late bour none is obtainable. The different informants from tho: scone of action vary in their general ates of the Killed on our side, Later information will bé sent you to-morrow.

Artistically nothing can be more effective than the point of view selected and the general tone of the picture. We have next a view of Bolivar Heights, with the encampment of the Twenty-zecond regiment New York State National Guard, The scone here is eutirely pastoral, and without any of those striking and gaudy picturesque features that distinguish the other photographs; but, nevertheless, equally to be admired for its clearness and wide range of landscape. Then we have a full length portrait of the gallant oid soidier, Colouel Miles, whose name will remain forever identified with the scene of Lis recent exploits. He is taken standing on the steps of the entrance of the old armory, his left hand leaning on his sword, and his fcatures half in shadow.

THE REPUBLICAN PRIMARISS—REMOVAL OF KNAPP AND TAPPAN—GREAT BUZZ AMONG THE POLITI- IANS. ‘Tho annual contest for the spoils among the politicians has been fairly inaugurated in this city, aud all the par* ties are in the highest excitoment concerning the result’ m, They. 856, for sale, wholesale and retatl, by the Americas: agent, 8. STEINFELD, at 70 Nassau street, New York city. At SMITH & BROTUER'S ‘Tho Democratio State Convention have already met and CHOICE laid their plans—a full roport of which has already been PALE ALES. given in this paper. On Tuesday evening the primary republican elections took place in this city, and a very nice little time they had of it. In the good old days of Tammany muscular influence was almost exclusively monopolized by the unterrified;,but the republicans now geem to lay claim to this potent agency, which is regu- larly oxercised at all their conventions latterly. Tho ex- citement among the republicans was most intense on Tuesday evening, owing to the trial of strength between the radical and conservative wings of the party. Fights occurred in several of the election districts; but,on the whole, the conservatives, led by the’ Morgan in- fluence, seem to have won the ascendancy. The rogult of the primartes furnished an inexhaustibie theme of conversation yesterday in political circles. The suc- cessful wing are jubilant, while tho disappoiated aro swearing big oaths that they have been cheated out of thoir election and will bring their grievances before the State Convention. There promises to be a lively time when this amiablo body get together. The removal of Street Commissioner Knapp and Mr. Tappan, of the Croten Board, by the Board of Aldermen, on Tuesday afternoon, created quite a sensation through tho city, and was much talked ot by tho politicians. ‘The thing was not altogether unexpected, as it was well known that there was a large party in the Hoard of Al- dermen repugnant to the eccted officeholders. The step is said to have some connection with the Comptrcliership, the succeesion to which is coveted by more than a dozen greedy aspirants, The Aldermen are determined to mo- nopolize ali the power they can to help their favorite man, whoever that individual may be. Mr. Knapp will contiaue in office until a sucecssor is appointed. THE ANTI-PROHIBITIONISTS. The Liquor Dealers Socicty are out with a call for a convention, to meet on the 40th instant, at the Voorhees Hotel, Syracuse. The object of this convention isto take into cons!deration ‘the adoption of such measures as will tend to sustain the rights and privileges of trade, agricul- ture, labor, the common carrier and auxiliary interests which are threatoned to be destroyed by unconstitutional 4nd irratioual enactments got up under the influence of a mistaken zeal and supported by demagogueism.”” THE UNION CONSTITUTIONAL PARTY. The Union State Constitutional Committee met last eve- ning, at Wright’s Hotel, corner of Eighth surcet and Broadway. The Conference Committee created by the Trey Constitutional State Convention were instructed to assemble the State Committce, in case the coquetting with the Democratic committee was n0t satisfactory From t&e character of the assembly last night it ig there fore to be inferred that tho Union constitutional party have found little comfort from the democrats. A move ment to coalese with the republicans uaturally follows; apa the republicans had a sort of conference with the Union party last might. The deliverations were held with clesed doors , and the result did not transpire.
