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:

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

liavo captured artillery, small arms and wagons.
Indeed everything indicates the entire annihilation
of this force of the enemy. In the first
two battles they were commanded by Goneral
Manson; in the last by Gen. Nelson.

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

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.

Richmond, September 28.?We fcwfe deceived
Northern dates of the 25th inst.
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

The enemy confess to a loss of ten thousand
killed and wounded, which, taking into account
their notorious detcrmiuation to suppress the
truth, may safely be doubled. Our loss in

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.
