A general engagement is progressing between Buell aud Bvagg at Perryville; but nothing definite has been re. ectved here as yet, Lovisyitae, Oct, 9, 1862, Gen, Dumont, from Shelbyville, attacked Scott and Morgan near Frankfort, acatteriug them in evory direc tom, I$is expested that Dumont will bag them before aighh : Lovmvitia, Oct, 9—4:12 P. M. ‘The battle at Porryville commenced yesterday morn. ing, the rebels attacking Buell’s advance in great force. Av artillery Sight continued through most of the day, ‘wht no great results. Later in the day Buell’s forces, having secured a good pesition, advanced and drove the rebels back. No definite Particulars have yet been received. It ta reported at General Boyle’s headquarters that @enerals Rousseau and Jackson, commanding Union divi- ‘tens, were killed; but the report is not credited. Buell intended last night to advance’and bring ona general engagement this morning. The result of this is net known, General Dumont’s success over Morgan and Seott at Frankfort is fully confirmed. Morgan entered Frankfort yesterday morning at seven @’elock, with his own and Scott’s cavairy, three thousand strong, meeting no opposition, This morning, Dumont moved on them from Shelbyville, and at noon had routed them, The redols are said to be dispersed, wandering ever the adjacent hills, eudeavoring to avoid Dumont's pursuing forces. If not all captured, the command will ‘be completely broken up. The rebels destroyed the Turnpike bridge before they were attacked. Lovievmur, Oct. 9, 1962. ‘The battie at Perryville commenced carly in the morn- ing by an artillery duel, which continued all day. Gen. MoQvok’s corps was engaged alone. At two o’clock the rebels made an effort to turn our loft flank, and desperate fighting ensued at close quarters. The rebels were twice driven back with hoavy loss. ‘The battle continued till dark, when both parties rested. Gen. Terrell was mortally wounded; aizo Col. Webster, @f the Ninety-eighth Onio. Gen. Jackson was killed. The report of the death of Ge. Rousseau ie not con ‘Ormed. ‘The Union Jona is estimated at two thousand killed snd ‘wounded, The rebel lors is greater, if anything. Gen.

Dumont expected to surround and capture the seat- tering guerillas. —— Faamnvost, Oct. 9, 1863. General Dumont surprised the rebel forces under Mor- gam at three o'clock this morning, by attacking the guard om the turnpike bridge with such vigor that they were ‘unable to destroy that bridge, as they intended, Six Tebele were left dead and fifteen wounded. Several ‘wounded were carried off, but the darkness prevented a correct estimate of the numbers. Our loss in killed was three, We bad.ne wounded or prisoners, The rebel fore® ‘was six hundred cavalry and two regiments of infantry. * ‘Where is Perryville? Perryvillo is situated between Danville and Bardstown , ‘Dut much nearer the former place, It is a post village of Boyle county, Kentucky, and numbers but a few hundred inhabitants. It is forty-one miles due south of Frankfort, and five hundred and sixty-three miles from Washington. ‘There are but five stores and two churches in the place, ‘The county contains two hundred and thirty square tiles, orabout one handred and fifty-seven thousand acres. ‘The surface of the country is undulating and the soil very fertile. The county is drained by the Salt river and branches of the Dick’s river, and had a population in 1850 of less than tea thousand persons. Danville is the coun- ty town, Our Loulsville Correspondence, Lovsvnie, Ky., Oct. 6, 1862, The Rebels “ Won't Fight"—They Kunas We Advance Bragg's Army Demoralized—Rapid Marches of Buell’s Forees—Hardee at Bardstown with Thirty-five Thousand Rebeis—Arrival of Captured Prisoners—Frankfort in Our Possession—Dick Hawes made Rebel Provisionat Governor of Kentucky—Reported Death of B. Kirby Smith—Siirmish at Bowling Green, dic. ‘The news from the front to-day, while it is of an ex- tremely interesting nature, yet has a smack of disappoint- ment in it. At ail points the rebels fly as our forces ad- ‘vance, without'giving us a chance to fight thom; and so rapidly i Buell pushing his columns forward that the retirement of the rebels partakes very much of the nature of a complete rout. The news is of the same eharacter poth from the left, right and centre, Buell’s movem-n's seem to prevent the rebels effecting @ concent ation of their forces, and they are rapilly becoming demoralized from their frequent and hasty retreats. Our right occupied Bardstown yesterday (Sunday), and so rapidly were they moving that last evening three divisions of Critten- den’s corps were in Lebanon, twenty-seven miles distant. ‘This is the fastest army travelling on record, an@ {s con. clusive evidence that when the occasion demands it, Buell can make as rapid strides as any commander we have. General Hurdee had commanded the rebel forces at Bardstown and jn that vicinity, and his force is estimated by eitizeus of Bardstown at not less than thirty thousand men, €ome accounts putting the number ag high as thirty- five thousand, Hardee himeelf was iil at the time ot the evacuation of that place, and this will probably be an excuse for his not fighting. Everything in the vieinity of Bardstown that could move on wheels, or could drag the wheels, was pressed ibto the rebel service and taken sway in their fight. The country was thoroughly stripped of all kiads of prodace, and the goods in the stores adapted to military purposes was all taken away. Their flight from that place was very precipitate, yet they took good care to imprees @ sufficient number of wagone and teams to carry of their sick with them. They took the Lebauon road, and were closely pursued by our forces, A detachment of about thirty rebel prison ers, stragglors from their army, captured iu the vicinity of Bardstown, have arrived here. Rousgeau’s division bas passed Taylorsville and is push. ing on with all expedition, via Perryvile for Danville. From the left the intelligence ie still more cheering. ‘The State capital is onee more in federal possession. It was expected that the rebels would make a stand at Hardineville, where, for geome days they had been mass- ing troops, and it was decmed expadient to reconnoitre this position carefully before moving omit. Sneha re convotesance was mado on Sunday, disclosing the pro- sence of from Gfteen to twenty (honsand men there; but on Sunday evening Gon. Sil, commanding our advance in thet direction, ordered a forward movement, and this morning was In Hardinsville, finding only @ doserted camp there. The rebels had ail fod in confusion. Gen. £/1/! made no halt, but crowded his little column on with all haste, He arrived at Frankfort this evening, but only fa time to seo the last of the robels fying from the oppo- site side of the tawn jo the direetion of Lexington. Pro- vious to leaving they had destroyed the fine railroad bridge across the Kentucky river at this point, and had also set fire te the turnpike bridge. But the citizons had turned out in force aud oxtinguished the dames on this strneture in time to gave all but ono epan, The river, however, iss» low that the destruction or the bridges will not retard our movementa in the least. In fact, report saya, that General Sili has already passed throught Fraukfort, aud is still driving the broken columns of the enemy before him. I get no information of the damage done at the Capital by the rebels during thetr occupancy of it. Thee hag not yet been time to ozamine the ar cbives 0; the State, which have, doubtless, been interfered with. On Saturday—the day previous to the evacuation—the rebel Provisional Goveruor of Kentucky, ono Ric! Haw r=nore commonly known as Dick Hawes—was in- augurated at the Capitol with imposing ceremonies. General Bragg had issued an order providing for the great event, as follows: Heapgvanrens, Anwy of Kuxtucey, Lerixeton, Oct 2, ld. } Installation of the Provisional Governor at Frankfort, om 4, at twelve o'clock M, Major General with the management of ‘the military end eacort guard and gal ute. 6 Gow nor wit be esenr a fie quarvere by 4 Re dtearaoan by the commandér of the Oapfederéte nintes forces, Major Gene- Tal poe, dier General Preston and their respective Rate, hegre ‘orders of the iste and public recorde and IN BRAGG, General Commanding, 4 of tho Frankfort Ferman, which has been preaned Tato the rebel service, has reached here, which Frankfort was honored NEW YORK, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 10, 1862.
