LOUISVILLE, April 8 [1862].

The Nashville Patriot of this morning says a gentleman who left the neighborhood of the Confederate army of the West last Thursday, states Beauregard left Corinth that day with his command for Purdy, Tenn., and Johnston left with his the same day for Purdy via. Homburg [sic].  It was expected they would bring on the battle Friday or Saturday, if their march was not impeded by rain.

Gov. Andy Johnson has suspended the mayor, Aldermen and Councilmen of Nashville, who refused to take the oath of allegiance by filling their places with loyal appointees.
