LOUISVILLE, March 11.
Humphrey Marshall is at Gladesville, 8 miles from the Kentucky line, near Founding gap, with the new scattered, demoralized forces belonging to Col. Williams’ regiment. Marshall first attempted to console the people of that region, but since his defeat he has become irritable and overbearing.
Tennessee advices say that the citizens of Shelbyville, Bedford county, burned on Sunday night a large quantity of confederate stores to prevent their falling into the hands of the rebel troops under General A. Sidney Johnston, who were in full retreat from Murfreesboro.
