Rebel Operations at Owensboro, Ky.

The Evansville Journal of the 5th is furnished by Col. W. S. McFarland with the following incidents of the rebel operations at Owensboro'.

The colored troops left there on Sunday evening, and the guerrillas, to the number of fifteen men under command of Capt. Duncan, entered the town and proceeded to their regular vocations, robbing and plundering. They broke into the dry-goods Store of King and Peters, by the back door, and robbed it of goods to the amount of three hundred to one thousand dollars.

They proclaimed their purpose to burn the court-house on Tuesday morning. They posted up notice for conscripts, which McFarland construing to mean him, he concluded to emigrate. Accordingly, going to the river, he seized a skiff and improvising a pair of oars, made his way to the Indiana shore. Several men had been conscripted in the county, and the rebel force in the vicinity is estimated at one hundred and fifty to two hundred and fifty strong.

On Christmas day, Taylor came in with a flag of truce, and remained all day, drinking and playing euchre with the Federal officers-for which conduct the latter ought to be court-martialed and shot.

The whole region of country on the Kentucky side, from Green river to Louisville, has apparently been abandoned to the undisputed control of the marauders and thieves, Taylor, Duncan, Davidson & Co.
