Chattanooga, September 27.?The Yankee cavalry, on the 20th inst*, captured and parolod 400 of onr sick at Glasgow, Ky., where they had been left in the hospitals by General Bragg's army. We have trustworthy intelligence that the people of Nashville?citizens and soldiers alike ?are almost in a*? state of starvation. No i * stores or provisions of any kind can roach them from the north, and the place is still closely invested by our cavalry. The Yankees aro still strengthening the fortifications around the city. Our Victory In Kentucky. The Government has received the followiug brief official report or despatch, from Gen. K. Kirby Smith, of the recent victory of our arms at Richmond, Kentucky: Headquarters Army of Kentucky, ) Richmond, Ky., August 30, 1802. ) General S. Cooper, Adjutant and IsjtectorGeneral C. S. Army, Richmond, Va. Sir: It is my great pleasure to announce to you that God has thrice blessed our arms today. After a forced march, almost day and night, for three days, over a mountain wilderness, destitute alike of food and water, I found the enemy drawn up in force to oppose us, at a point eight miles from this place. With jcss man nan my lorce i attacked and earned a very strong position at MountfZion Church, after a hard fight of two hours. Again, a still belter position at White's farm, in half an hour; and finally in this town'just beforo sunset, our indomitable troops deliberately walked (they were two tired to run) up to a magnificent position, manned by ten thousand of the enemy, many of them perfectly fresh, and carried it in fifteen minutes. It is impossible for me now to give you the exact results of theso glorious battles. Our loss is comparatively small; that of the enomy?many hundred killed and Wftlirnlofl nnrl snv^rol ~\KT~ .? MM\?

Kirby Smith. Major General Commanding. m m Butler's War upon Women. The Savannah liepvblican has some late and authentic intelligence from Now Orleans - ? O Tho despatch announcing that Mrs. Phillips had boon liberated was an error. She is still a prisonor on Ship Island, away from family and friends, and will there probably, remain until the close of the war as her defiant spirit is not subdued by the inhumanity of her persecutors. Mrs. Larue, the step-daughter of Judge Host, our commissioner to Europe, is also a prisoner at Ship Island, together with many^ther ladies of New Orleans. Mr. Casey's house, on Canal street, is full of imprisoned ladies, and many have been sent to the penitoutiary. Judge H. D. Ogden's wife is a prisoner in 1 1 - i * - - ? ner own nouse, wnicn is under the surveillanco of the military, and she is not permitted to leave it, except on Sunday, to go to church, and then she is accompauied by a guard. Mrs. Ogden is imprisoned for no/ better reason than refusing to tell who bore her a letter from her husband, who is now in the city, advising her that if she could not get a passport to join him, to endeavor to obtain one to go to Canada. These are but a few of tho numerous cases, of hardship and cowardly tyranny practiced il Ll * ** " ' uu hu)j uuuie women oi jncw urieans, whose crime is, that they will not bow the knee to the Abolition lhoal. Tho history of the civilized world contains no parallel iu brutality, ineftuuoss, and pusillanimous fear. t (Confc DAY, OCTOBER 3, 1862. An Interesting Capture. On Tuesday evening, just previously to the starting of tho up train for Columbia, a person, apparently an elderly white female, of between sixty and seventy years old, arrayed 4n a loose dress and a long Quakerish bonnet, with a small basket on her arm and accompanied by a mulatto, entered the depot of the South Carolina Railroad; and proceeded towards tho scr vant's car. As the seemingly ancient matron was about to step aboard, Officer Welsh, who was on duty there, politely informed her of her evr dent mistake in taking the wrong car, that being set apart for colored persons, at the same time he desired to sec her pass. She replied she had one, and opened a small basket as if I to produce it. The old lady however had forgotten her gloves, and while searching for the desired license, the vigilcnt eye of the officer detected, in the size and appearance of the hand, what at once aroused hib suspicions^ Tho shoes and size of the feet further confirmed him in his views and suggestions to detain this remarkable individual and her companion for investigation. I When asked her name, she commenced j stammering ont Sarah, and at last said Sarah Johnson. Officer Welsh told his prisoner that he believed he had detected a man in woman's attire, and it would be necessary to remove him to the guard house, at which the prisoner burst into a laugh. Lieutenant Simmons? anothor officer, came up, and the prisoner was turned over to him. IIo removed the bonnet, when the old woman was found to be quite a handsome young man, with a recent closely shaved face. He was sent to tho guard house, and his female apparel taken from him. On his per son was found a sum of money, amounting to about $534. On being brought before the Mayor, Wednesday morning, ho said he was a member of an infantry company on James' Island, and had received $800 as a substitute. The Mayor sent for an officer of the company, who recognized the prisoner who had been enrolled into the service on Friday, last, under the naui? of John Wilson. A fine of $50 was imposed, which the prisoner paid, and ho was turned over to his officer. The latter, we believe, has committed the prisoner to jail, for trial by court martial.? Courier. Down-trodden Maryland. A letter in tho Petersburg Express, from a member of the 12th Virginia Regiment, shows the feeling of tho population of that part of Maryland into which our army crossed. Tho letter says: Wo passed the village of Birchtown, on our route to Frederick. Wo encountered many talkative old ladies, and some young ladies. But few men were to be seen. All are Union. But one girl with a secession flag could be seen in our entire route to Frederick, which we reached on Sunday, tho 7th. "I went into tho town on Monday morning. It has a population of about 5000, and some fine private residences. There is an clogant hospital at this point used by the Yankees. The sentiment of this place is deep Union. There are many ladies here who aro strongly Seccsh. They have no hesitancy in expressing their sentiments." The experiment has been made, says the Petersburg Express, and the result, wo think, should banish from our minds the idea that Maryland is disposed at present to unite her destinies with the South. If she bad been, her people, upon the appearance of our army upon her soil, would have risen en masse, and rushed by tens of thousands into its ranks. We spoak only of the majority of them, for we doubt not that thero is a respectable minority who sympathize warmly with the South. The State Government, moreover, is decidedly and intensely devoted to the Union (so called) aiyl the press thero, with scarcely au exception, is of the same character. i ! . A . 1 "m .. ?

President Lincoln has issued his proclamation, declaring that all^aiders and abetters of the rebellion/and all persons discouraging enlistments, sha'l be subject to - martial law and > liable to trial by court martial, without the benefit of the writ of habeas corpus. In a speech, made in response to a serenade given him on Wednesday night, Mr. Lincoln declared that ho had issued his emancipation proclamation after very full deliberation and under heavy and solemn sense of responsibility. The latest despatches from Louisville say that the city is now considered safe. General Bucll has arrived there, and seven brigades Of his army wcro coming up to the city from the direction of Salt River. The Federal forces have re-occupied Munfordsville. The Battle of Sharpbburg.?It is stated, upon seemingly.good authority, that the President on yesterday received a letter from Gen. Lee, in which the latter stated, that in the battle of Sharpsburg tho shock of battle was the most tremendous that had ever occurred upon this continent, and tho result was tho set'Avnof on/1 vYi Aof /I o m orvlnrv tViof iha Anamv vgt^ou nuu aiuou uaum^iu^ WJ?W VUW VU^uij ti?u received in the whole campaign.

Another Counterfeit.?We were aliow# yesterday another counterfeit $5 Confederate note taken by a gentleman at Aiken, S. C.,who exhibited it to us, that we might describe it and so put the public on their guard. The counterfeit bill is somowhat larger thatf the genuine, and the engraving is much coarser.The three medallions on the left hand side of the genuino bill contain the word "five" several times repeated within their rings, while the counterfeit docs not have it at all. In ther counterfeit there is a letter "J" on the right hand side of tho#bill, while in the genuino there is a letter "H" on each side. The* sigr natures arc written in the genuine, but litho-' graphed in the counterfeit. The lithographers' names, Keating & Ball,are on the left hand side of the genuine bill,but arc not in the counterfeit at all. Tho words "For Treas." are omitted in tho counter 1 ' feit, but arc printed in the genuino. Tho mar- ^ ginal border of "fives" is wider in the counterfeit than it is in the centre; and the "V" in tho left hand corner is smaller in the counterfeit than it is in the genuino.?Augusta Chronicle. Expedition in Louisiana.?Wo learn from a reliable source that about the 30th ult, Gov,' Moore, of Louisiana, accompanied by Generals Taylor and Pratt, left tho Terro Bonno Station, on the Opelousas and New Orleans* railroad, with about a thousand men, parts of Bis land's and Vick's regiments^ to break up art encampment of the enemy at "Boutte Station," on the same road, twonty-fonr miles from New Orleans. When our informant]lcft Thibodeaux* a part of the expedition had returned and reported the result to be sixty Yankees killed, one hundred and forty prisoners and five pieces of artillery taken. Casualties on our sido, one* man wounded in the arm. This appears to havo been a well planned and well executed afiair. Three cheers for Governor Mooro and bia brave Louisianiansl?Natchez Miss.
