Walker, vexed at his former failure, and unwilling that a few hundred of horse thieves should reign solely in Eastern Kentucky, made another dash yesterday, oooupied Mt. Sterling, and attempted a coup de guerre. A skirmish ensued; 5 rebels were killed, 10 wounded, and seme captured. A gentleman from Mt. Sterling to-day brings intelligence, not confirmed, that he had captured the whole party, including the pestilent leader himself.Cluke’s personal presence alone will confirm such rumor.The affair of the 44th Ohio and 14th Eentuoky, five miles below Hazel Green, with Marshall’s men, was more serious than reported. Some 30 Federals are said to have been killed, and 25 of our own are still unaooounted for. Nearly 100 rebels were oaptured and parolled. The high water prevented bringing them in.Marshall’s foroe is estimated at 1,800. He has not made his appearanoe in public yet. The supposed rebel soouts seen near Paris were our own plokets.Scouts from Hasel Green, Barboursville, Knoxville and the Gaps, report no rebel forces, but roving squads of highwaymen.Stage oonvenienoies are resumed to all the towns north of our armies.The 24th Kentucky, Col. Grigsby, are ordered into Eastern Kentucky with general instructions to mount themselves la John Morgan. No doubt they will ^foe quickly and well mounted with the delicate attentions of the quartermasters.
