Capture of Federal couriers with dispatches.

Chattanooga, Aug. 12.
--Four Federal couriers with dispatches from Gen. Nelson, at McMinnville, to Gen. Buell, have been captured. The dispatches have been handed to the military authorities here. Nelson complains that his pickets habitually desert to be paroled by the Confederates, and represents that affairs in his department are in a deplorable condition.
