FROM BURNSIDE'S COMMAND.TEE INVASION OF KENTUCKY AT AN END.Matters at Lexington. ST esterday.Prospects, Plans, Aspects.[Special Dispatch to the Chicago Tribune.]Lexixgtos, March 90.Military matters in this Department are being pushed forward with great energy. Gen. Gilmore commands in person. CoL Gilbert, anticipating warm work in front, turned the command of the post over to Col. Bird, of the 1st Tennessee Regiment, who in turn sur-| rendered to CoL Leasure, of the 100th Penn-] sylvania, who Is now Commandant of this i poet, and harried to the front. The only, danger now feared in Lexington is from wandering hands of Clnke’s marauders, 150 of whom were reported near Bichmond. A few of them were captured by Walker’s mem whilst crossing the Kentucky Biver on Satnr-day. Ilis command still hovers about Owens-ville. There is nothing from Nashville. The grand invasion so extensively intended, has dwindled down to a cattle and.horse stealing raid.Fegrnm fled out at the approach of Gilmore, carrying off cattle, variously estimated from 1,COO to 2,000 head. He Lft Stanford. Friday night, hotly pursued by Watford with our mounted force. On Sunday Waiford was twelve hours behind, our infantry following. To-day at two, it Is raportedjthat the rebels were so closely pursued that they abandoned all the cattle and trains, which, with 125 men, were captured by Watford’s advance. About seventy-five parolad men of the 101th Ohio, captured at StanJbrd, ISth Michigan, captured at Camp Dick Robinson,. 44th Ohio, 45th Ohio, and 10th; Kentucky cavalry, captured on picket, came in yesterday.The rumor that Morgan had crossed the Cumberland and was marching on Stanford, is not credited. The whereabouts of Marshall is unknown. The prospect of a battle diminishes, unless Gilmore overtakes Pegram before he reaches the Cumberland.
