Arrival of Yankee prisoners. --Sergeant Ewing, of Gen. Jackson's Brigade, brought to this city, on the Central Road, on Monday evening, eleven Yankees, including ten soldiers captured near Winchester, and one Lieutenant William Luce, of the Topographical Engineers, a member of "General Banks's staff," captured near Berryville, on the 24th of March. We did not hear, but presume the ten Yankees above spoken or were apprehended while in the act of robbing the hen roost of some farmer near Winchester.
tion of our struggle ! Governor Harris is now here; also, General Kirby Smith. I cannot speak by authority as to what movements are under discussion, but it is quite natural to suppose that our Governor thinks that Andy, the Usurper, has occupied his seat as long as the public welfare demands. Hands an expedition for the recovery of Middle Tennessee is not only a possible, but a very probable event. There are many refugees from Middle Tennessee now here — among them is Hon. And'w Ewing, and others of note. A meeting was held by them this morning, and the incipient steps taken for organizing a force from their own number to co-operate with the regular army, for the recovery of their homes and the dise of their action of the State. The skies are brightening in our beloved Tennessee. The 2,000 Yankee prisoners that passed through your city last week were taken from hereby steamer, down the river to Bellefonte Landing, where they were turned over to the Federal authorit
0th. Business was again suspended in Cincinnati, and military companies were ordered to report for duty at 8 o'clock on the morning of the 11th. Three thousand laborers were ordered to commence work on the trenches. A dispatch from Cincinnati Wednesday night, at 10 o'clock, says: A train of thirty ambulances, with a flag of truce, left here yesterday afternoon, for the use of our wounded at Richmond. When they were twelve miles distant they were ordered to halt by the pickets of General Ewing. They did so, and the officer in command of the ambulances was taken before General Heath, who informed him that he could not pass the train, as he was not receiving flags of truce at present. An appeal was then made to General Kirby Smith, who promptly allowed our ambulances to proceed. Our scouts report that the rebels are moving in two divisions, numbering 16,000 men. Early this morning a large rebel cavalry force attacked our pickets on Licking river, driving them back a mile,

es quite $5,000 worth of goods a week for fellow extortioners in Richmond. But the Yankees made a worthy example of them by confiscating their goods in store and forwarding their persons on to Baltimore. As a matter of humiliation to the pride of the editor of the Williamsburg (Va.) Gazette, E. H. Lively, Esq., and reflection upon the history of that paper, the oldest in the Commonwealth, for more than 125 years the advocate of civil liberty and the right of self-government, is now under an assumed name--Caviller--and the ban of military surveillance made to pander to the lusts of an invading horde under Yankee usurpation. It is proper to state that Ewing, who edits the Gazette, has no claim to the office whatever. He did own a portion of the office before the war, but moved his interest in it to Norfolk. E. H. and R. A. Lively are the patriotic gentlemen to whem the office really belongs, but who have been driven from their homes, and their property handed over to this man.

From the United States. We have the following summary of news from the Baltimore American, of the 27th inst: Dispatches from Cairo state that Gen. Herron's troops are on an expedition up the Red river. Over 100,000 bales of the rebel Government cotton have been captured near Natchez. Gen. Grant and staff were at Memphis. Gen. Ewing returned to Kansas city on Monday from the pursuit of Quantrell's guerillas. He is estimated to have had three hundred men at Lawrence.--They disbanded at the head of Grand river, scattering in every direction.--The pursuing forces divided accordingly, and continued skirmishing was going on. About seventy of the guerillas had been killed so far as heard from. Lane is organizing a force, and says he will go into Missouri early in September. The chiefs of the Delaware, Sacs, and Fox tribes have offered their services to Lane. Over one hundred rebel sympathizers have been killed in Cass county, Missouri, and their houses burnt.
