From Kentucky and Tennessee


LOUISVILLE, Ky., March 11. – Humphrey Marshall is at Glaidsville, eight miles from the Kentucky line, near Pounding Gap, which is occupied by a detachment of the forces belonging to Col. Drail’s regiment.  Marshal first attempted to conciliate the people of that section, but since his defeat they have become scornful and overbearing.

Tennessee advices say that people of Nashville destroyed on Sunday night a large quantity of confederate stores to prevent them from falling into the hands of the rebel troops under Gen. A. Sydney Johnston [sic], who were in full retreat for Memphis.
