A refugee from the South furnishes the
following regarding Southern movements:
Gen. Bragg is Mt Chattanooga, and his
move seems to be for Nashville. He re-
ports portion of Bragg's forces being at
Grand Junction, but the report is unfound-
ed. Up to Friday there were none there
except scouting parties, which come almost
daily to take what is regarded by them as
doubtful ground, hence they make arrange

WASHINGTON, August 2s.-Captatu Gar
nett of the rebel army, brother of DR.. Gar
nett, formerly of this city who was pris-
oner in the old Capitol has been released
upon his parole. He says he will never take
the osth Of allegiance. he was paroled on
account of i'll health.
Ten rebel prisoners were brought in this
morning aud sent to the old Capitol, among
them is Capt. Ellis Of the 9th Virginia cav
airy.
Marshal G. L. Phelps, of Illinois, arrived
to-day having in charge IL State prisoners
from that State who were taken before the
Provost Marshal and sent to the old Capt.
tOl.
1t is serious Misrepresentation to sup
pose that Paymaster Falsom, was ar
arrested because of AIRY suspicion that he
was defaulter. He was only arrested be-
cause he deposited government specie in a
bank for safe keeping Instead Of in the
Treasury. No Paymaster stands higher
for integrity in the Department than Maj.
Falsom.
