Nelson, alias Dick Johnson, two athletic looking white men, were arraigned for violently assaulting John Driggers, an Alabama soldier, on Thursday night, and taking from his person three letters entrusted to his care to be delivered at Manassas. Driggers, who was stoppn he attempted to leave the house he was followed by them, and after getting a short distance was thrown down, garroted, beaten severely and robbed. He positively identified the prisoners as two of the party who made the assault. Nelson, alias Johnson, attempted to prove by Bradford's bar-keeper that he did not leave the house after Driggers did. He said that the latter was no doubt honest in his conviction that he was one of the men, but he was mistaken. At the request of Osgood, who wanted

Nelson, alias Dick Johnson, charged with having waylaid, beaten and robbed John Driggers, and Alabama soldier, on the night of February 18th, were to have been examined at the City Hall yesterday before a called Court of Hustings, but the absence of the principal witness (who had gone to Manassas) caused further proceedings to be postponed until the regular term of the Court.

Confederate Successes in the West. Chattanooga, Aug. 27. --Col. Morgan's brigade encountered Gen. Dick Johnson's Kentucky (Federal) cavalry on Thursday, 21st instant, near Gallatin, in a hard fought battle. The enemy numbered 800; Col. Morgan had about 1,200. The enemy were cut all to pieces, and the remnant captured, among them Gen. Johnson and fifteen commissioned officers. Our loss is estimated variously at from 25 to 120. The former is probably correct. Johnson's cavalry was raised for the express purpose of capturing Morgan. Gen. Forrest arrived after the fight was over. Over 300 prisoners were captured.

ll told, since the enemy first crossed the river, about 700 prisoners, including those taken by the cavalry. This, with the loss still unascertained by us, which Johnson's division inflicted upon the enemy last Friday evening, besides the mules captured by Mosby and the wagons taken by Rosser, and the performance of our cavalry on Sunday last, make up quite a gratifying exhibit, and show a decided balance in our favor, our own loss being limited mining to that suffered by Johnson's division on Friday evening last, and footing up between four and five hundred in killed and wounded, many of whom, in time, will again be able to meet the foe. But what was as perpetrated upon the peaceful non-combatant denizens in the line of their march. A few of their outrages I will mention. Capt. Beale, Mr. Lockwood, and Capt. Dick Johnson, were seized and carried off to prison. They burnt the house, kitchen, and barns of Reuben L. Gordon, besides taking all his cattle and grain, at Germanna
