, that a company of the Lincoln cavalry, under Capt. Todd, strayed away from a portion of Gen. Sedgwick's brigade, under command of Col. Berry. Gen. Heintzelman states that the loss sustained by the movement was from the negligence of the officers in command of the cavalry, who permitted their men to straggle in the presence of the enemy, and to plunder.--Of the Lincoln Cavalry, Sergeant O'Brien is killed; Bugler Denton mortally wounded, since died; private Miller, wounded, missing; private Mitchell, wounded slightly; Capt. Todd, missing; private Johnson, missing.--Eleven horses are also missing. The rebels evidently occupy several points on the railroad in force, have a cavalry stationed at or near Elzey's and Sangster's Cross Roads, and a force at Wolf Run Shoals.

Union mass meetings for the soldiers. --Several of the religious denominations in Lynchburg have recently held large and enthusiastic meetings in behalf of Colportage among the soldiers, under the auspices of the society in this city, and liberal contributions have been realized. A correspondent writes: "We had last night one of the largest mass meetings that it has ever been my pleasure to attend. It was held in the Centenary Methodist Church. Similar meetings have been held in the 2nd Presbyterian and Baptist Churches. The speakers were Rev. A. E. Dickinson, the Superintendent of Army Colportage; Rev. Mr. Edwards of the Methodist Church; Rev. Dr. Mitchell of the Presbyterian, and Rev. Mr. Dodge of the Baptist Church."

Shocking murder. --A man by the name of Christopher Dameron, residing some three miles North of this place, in the county of Caswell, North Carolina, was brutally murdered in his own house on the night of the 5th instant. In the early part of the night the deceased was at the house of a free negro by the name of Mitchell; and while there boasted of being in possession of a large sum of money. After returning home, and at a late hour of the night, the door of his house was forced open by some one and the deceased murdered in his bed. His head, face, and breast were literally cut up with a chop axe, which the murderer found in the room. The wife of the deceased, who was in the bed with him, was beaten until rendered insensible, and doubtless left by the assassin under the impression that she too was dead. At last accounts no clue had been found indicating the perpetrator of the fiendish outrages. Danville Register, 12th.

ated near Columbus, Ohio, I deem it due to the two hundred and forty brave but unfortunate Southern men whom I left incarcerated there on the 29th of October last, to make known to the South and to the world the suffering and indignities to which they are subjected by their inhuman jailors. The Government prison to which I refer is at Camp Chase, about four miles south of the city of Columbus, the capital of the State of Ohio. Brig.-Gen. Hill is the Commander, under the direction of Gens. Mitchell and Rosencranz, the prison being used for the confinement of military and political prisoners for both Kentucky and Northwestern Virginia. It contains about half an acre of ground, inclosed by a plank wall nearly twenty-five feet high, with towers on two sides. Inside of this inclosure are two rows of board shanties, with five rooms (16 by 18 feet) in each. In these small rooms, each occupied by about twenty-five men, and in this contracted space the crowd of prisoners are compelled t

McCook, is also moving to concentrate at Mumfordsville. Gen. Buckner, with 25,000 men, was covering all the hills two miles back from Green river, and was preparing to prevent our troops from crossing the river. Gen.

consented to do in preference to an indefinite detention on board. Capt. Lyons was thirteen days aboard the Sumter, during which he was treated with the utmost kindness by both officers and crew. Of her armament or number of men he is not communicative — his parcel of honor especially forbidding any information on this point. Released from confinement. We learn from the Louisville (Ky.) Journal, of the 7th inst., that the two Newport gentlemen, H. G. Helm, Esq., and Robert Maddox, Esq, arrested by the order of General Mitchell, appeared before Judge Ballard of Louisville, on Tuesday last, and were by him discharged, there being no charge against them.

or the purpose of effecting her arrest. She escaped his vigilance, as she thought, on this occasion, left Louisville, and proceeded to Mitchell, in Indiana. To her surprise she found him in the same train with herself — apparently unconcerned, yet closely watching her movements in order to obtain some clue which would justify her arrest. He was not aware that she knew him, but he was mistaken, as she had accidentally learned who he was, and was watching him as closely as he was her. From Mitchell she went to Vincennes, where she was finally arrested by this hound, Blygh. His behavior towards her after her arrest was coarse and rude — just such as might be expected of a Lincoln detective. He took great delight in alluding to her as she passed a crowd on the street, as a "Secesh" prisoner, and in various ways endeavored to offend the refined and delicate creature, whom the authority of a base miscreant had made his captive. Her baggage was all searched by this fellow with the h
