The New York Tribune has a coirespondent who thus describes the Kentucky regiment in the army of Gen Johnston, in Virginia: Among the troops was one regiment of over 1,000 Kentue’^ians, armed with rifles and bowie knives. They refuted to take but one round of lery, the Mississippi, was blockaded; not a bmhel on the West instead of the Sooth. The follov?ing extract, from a letter to the New York Day Book, from an intelligent gentleman of IlllQoi*, tells the effect of the blockade iu Mr Lincoln’s own Stste: The blockade of the Mississippi baa prostrated the State of Illinois. 8o far as oar busioeis ia concerned, we are utterly and totally ruined. No part of the whole country has felt the pernicioua effr ets ot the war like Illinois. Tho first blow prostrated our bauks, oUikiog out of circulation at once all our money, a*; effect ually as if destroyed in a single oonflagratioa To fill this vacuum, we had nothing to do but to move forward our immense iuppliea of farm produce, with which the State was literally crammed.

Mortality ir(»m Irinking Bler.—A Wash ington correspondent of the Baltimore Clipper thus accounts for the sickness prevailing in sonie of the New York regiments: The proportion of death.s in one or two of the New York regiments is far be^'ond what is reason able or in tlte nature of things nece.-sary. Ihe Albany regiment suffeis heavily. Intemperance is the chief, if not the only cause of this. I learn that while whiskey is disallowed the men, they are permitted to indulge in n.alt liquors, and especially lager beer to their utmost will, under the very mistaken impression that such drinks are not injurious. In very warm weather malt liquors are far more dangerous than alcoholic ones by re.ison of their rapid generation of acidity in the stomacb, and thereby caasirg choloric symptoms of varied character. cartridges to go into a fight, intending to lie hid cn the ground in the artificial thickets until our troops should approach, and then make at them with their bowie knives. This might have made some desperate fighting, but our bayonets would probably have been an overmatch for their knives of grain coild pas,3.
