The ARMY IN WESTERN V1R.
GINIA.--The following intelligence
from the ARMY III Western Vir-
ginia is given in the Richmond
dispatch of the 25th ult
We conversed last evening
with q gentleman who left Gen
Wise 5 camp four or FIVE daysago
lAtthat time nothing of important
nature had occurred. Our in.
saw Gen. Lee at Lewis
burg, and the belief was preva-
lent that he would join his forces
with those of Gems. Floyd and
Wise. The Central train, yester-
day, brought down forty-seyeu
prisoners, including those cap
tnred in the recent brilliant dash
of cavalry under Col. j. Lucius
Davis, besides d few struggling
Union men. Among the former
is d Captain Cox lwho processes
to be well acquainted with Presi-
dent Davis and one Of his lieu
tenants. These two kept up a
lively and good-llatured CONVEX
sation with the bystanders at the
depot, but some Of the prisoners
displayed 4 good deal Of impu-
|dence. One fellow remarked
that Cox kept on driving Wise
back and would ultimately
thrash him, after bloody fight.
The prisoners were captured on
Coal river, in Boone county, to-
gether with 200 head Of cattle.
which they had stolen from diff
ferent parties, and were driving
towards the Federal camp. Cas-
kie's Rangers, Of this city, par
ticipated in the capture.
lit be true, as reported, that
Gen. Lee las changed his posi-
ton, acknowledgements be push
ed forward in time, we regard
the occupation of the kanawha
valley as certain at no distant
daY.

rival, but stood at a distance,
held in awe5by the singular scene.
In the dim light of the prison she
was kneeling by her brother, and
uttering such a prayer as | never
heard before. A friend and re-
.lative accompanied her, and to
him / at last announced myself.
But it was long before he could
talk %coherently. Ny God! and
this is war!n was his reiterated
exclamation. ga
His sister had hurried to see
him at the first notice of his stu
alton. She has labored for his
salvation, moral and spiritual,
with the spirit Of an angel. She
obtained a copy of the proceed
|ings of the court-martial, and
went as fast as steam could take
her to Richmond to get a pardon
for him. The president was sick,
but she saw the secretary of war,
and he advised her to come back
and get a petition for his pardon.
Back she came, and with great
difficulty got one n~umerously
signed by officers. One officer
of high rank refused to sign it.
She seemed much detected at
this and asked me what she should
do. Ireplied, "Goto him, your
self, Madam, and he will sign it.
/ know that you are irresistible,
and no man with a heart in his
body can say mo- to you | had
signed it myself against my views
of military discipline, but | would
have torn the articles of war;
into atoms, rather than grieye
that noble woman by refusing
her request. She took my adj
vice, went il person to the G
cusant officer, and he signed il.
She started that same night to
Richmond, to plead for her broth
er's life. He was to have been
shot to-day at noon. This morn
ing an order came, postpoaling
the execution of sentence. I
look for her soon from Richmond.
Heaven speed her efforts She
is a young married woman, and
lucky is the man who has such al
wife. She is, indeed, a jewel,
and if her mother has any more
like her at home, I shall go to
see them when this war is over.

CoSCERr.--We would call the
attention of our readers to the
notice in another column of the
Grand Concert, for the benefit of
the volunteers.
Professor Winner and the la
dies of Opelousas in this their
praiseworthy effort to minister to
the wants of our brave volunteers,
are following the example of the
citizens Of the cities and towns
throughout the confederate states.
Every where these Concerts have
met with signal success. The
pleasure afforded by such an en-
tertaininentis of itself a sufficient
inducement to draw a crowded
house but when we consider its
object, no person in the parish
should grudge giving a dollar.
the price of admittaace.
We hope 10 see the Varities
