Turning Things to account.
In the late dash made by a portion of General Floyd's command into Kentucky, the public functionaries at Carter C. H., Ky., including Judges. Sheriff, &c., were arrested. The ‘"Lincoln war tax"’ was extorted from the Sheriff, and handed over to our Quartermaster. A store, the owner of which had fled to Cincinnati, was takes possession of, and the Virginia boys were well shod from its contents. The ‘"raid"’ was made by the 1st Battalion Virginia Mounted Rifles, under Major A. V. Witcher.
