Reports were in circulation on Saturday that
a body CT Federal cavalry supposed to be a De-
tachmeEt Of Gen Pope's army, had made their
appearance at Conrads Store, rear the line of
Rockingham and Greene counties, and it was
copjectured that raid upon the Central railroad
was intended. From G nrads Store to the
Blue Ridge Tunnel the distance is only some
twenty miles, through an open country. Whist
some enxiaty is felt that depredatiOns viii be At
tempted upon this roed, there is ground for the
fullest confidence that our force along its line is
ample for its protection.
The rumOT with references TO the evacuation of
Winchester by the Yankees is not confirmed BY
our latest information from that quarter. The
enemy still hold The nights around the town,
which have been strongly fortified. The ac-
counts which reach US of the outrages commit
ted upon the people of the Valley are in keeping
with those that come to Us flom other localities
where the despo6o rule of Lincolnism has been
permitted to have its sway. At Winchester,
after one Of the battles in the Valley, the Yam
keas took possession Of the boarding house Of
the Misses Breedin, four orphan sisters, compel
ing the lady boarders to rise from their beds at
o'clock in the morning. and in one instance
refused to give young lady time to dress herself,
but forced her TO walk in her night dress to the
room Of the ladies Of the house They filed the
building with wounded Yankees, and took pos
session of every article of furniture, saws that
belonging to the chamber Of the Misses BTeedin.
The Yankee commandsnt assured them that they
should be paid for the less sustained, and ap-
pointed q committee to assess their value, con
sistiDg of three Federal officers, and two rank
Union citizens of Winchester. This committee
refused positively to allow compensation, alleg-
ing as a reason that the ladies were sincere sym
psthlzers with the Southern cause This is but
one instance Of Yankee honesty and Yankee
justice, as displayed in the Valley Richmond
Dispatch.

yE5vep,snts Of 5.cUIeIlnn,s Army.

RUmoT Is again winding lis mysterious m2zes
aui tickling the credUlty Of the people. The

renewed contests and fresh chsplets. Rnmor

stories Of battles in the Valley, and battles 20

vautod suddenly rem nothing into the sem
biGuce OF reality.
The report that McClellan's army is eyacu-
atiDg Eastern Virginia, is not sUbstantieted by

line Of lis operations and il is quite certain that
their destination is 20 the lines OF the upper Rap

point, already held by Gen. Pope, IS an object,
the success Ct which viii place the Federal army
in q position Of exceeding advantage. Their
aim IS evidently 10 capture GOTdonsville, and
thus destroy our communication with the lower
Valley, aud virtually possess themselves Of all
that region, at least for a time. Mcclellan S
position on The James is unchanged, and is not
likely to be changed unless a reverse elsewhere
demands il. It must be remembered that his
position as geneTal-in-chief has been modified of

The Capture Of IEurf-eesb0ro'-Th he We
In BatIie.


The Bristol (Tenn) AdrOcate gives some
interesting particulars Of the capture of Mur-
frees5oTo by Col Forrest It says:
From thirty to forty of our men were killed,
and from forty TO fifty wounded. This was done
principally by the battery, and from the court
house, in which large numbers Of the enemy
had taken shelter. Our men broke hole in the
court house, and were about burning it with its
contents, when they learned that the Yankees
had a number Of the citizens Of MurireesbOTo'
under arrest in q large upper room, in order to
try them for treason against the Lincoln dynasty.
Never were soldiers hailed with more enthusi-
astic expressions of gratitude and exuitation
than were the Confederate soldiers hailed by the
citizens Of the town. Numbers Of than, inclaG-
ing not g few ladies, joined in the bloody con-
lict, and with pistols and everything else with
which they could Gght, assisted in dealing dis
may ard death upon the hated invaders OF their
homes and their rights.
It WAS yet early in the morning when our
forces commenced the attack, and many Of the
ladies Of the place could not be restrained from
rushing into the streets with diBheveled hair and
in their sleeping attire, cheering our soldiers :;
and when any would fall, or were wounded,
they would clasp them in theiC arms. 'sisting N
bearing them 10 their houses and ministering to
them as 10 delivering angels and when our Off
GERS would TemOnstrate, telling them that they
were in danger from the shots of the enemy,
they would reply that the Lord would defend
them, and that it was no great ? peril than that
to which their gallant defenders were exposed.
We failed to mention, in the proper cOnnec-
lion, that Col WhoTton-ihe brave confederate
in arms Of Col. FoueSt-wss wounded. As lie
was able, however, to superintend the guard
which brought the Yankee prisoners through the
mountains, it is hoped he will soon recover.
Ia the Jail at MurfFeesboro were several of
the daring band of Gel Jack Morgan, who had
been taken prisoners some time age, when that
bold ranger met with his reverse at Lebanon.
Our soldiers released them from prison early in
the action, and they fought Ike Spartaus till the
affair was ended. None enjoyed the victory
with better relish than did these liberated he
rOes.
Among the prisoners We saw was Bdgsdier-
General T. A. Crittenden, Of Indiana He was
a sour, beely, crest-fallen looking fellow, with
no marks Of manliness and but few of intelli-
gence about his face. We had short conver-
sation with him at Kingston, where they staid
on Friday night: He was evidently an inferior
man to sons Of his colonels and other Cfficsrs.
The Eumbugging government must hsve put him
in position because his name was Crittenaen, act
ing upon the principle that the name makes the
rose smell swestiy.

4 letter from McClsllsn's camp says the most
noticeable fac. there JUS: now is the arrival OF a
vast amour. Of intrenching tools 1t adds
OF course, none but our chief officers can tell
precisely what use viii be made of them-in
other words, whether the new dsfenses which it
is proposed TO constfuc. are designed 70 protect
Us in our present position, or to assist in rssum-
lug the advance to Richmond. 1 venture the
opinion, however, that the Richmond Enquirer,
which thinks that Mcclellan means to dig his
way " 20 the Confederate capitol, is subslanti-
ally correct. These tools aro not needed in our
camp at present Unless the .Confederstes sue
ceed in ebsIUcing the James river below US,
which it is not believed here can be accomplished
though strenuous efforts are making to render
navigation dangerous, the picks and shovels
and other instruments we have received need
never be used here. Our camps are SO situated
that the gunbOats can shell the Confederate far
over over heads, and while they are too far away
TO do US particular harm, whatever their num-
bHs; besides, cur vast artillery, protected by
strong earthwoTks, would play havoc among
them, aud perhaps keep them at bay without the
aid of our infantry force, now quite equal to
what il was before the battles

From the Isnpnahnnnocs,. /.

From the position OF affairs on the R1ppahan-
mock the impression prevails that active opera
tions cannot be long delayed. For several days
past the enemy have been making such disposi-
ton of their forces as to induce the belief that
an advance is early contemplated. PGsseD gers
by the Central train, last evening, represent that
the main army of Pope hss moved up from Cul-
pepper into Madison, and thss a considerable in
fantfy force had been advanced in q southwest
county This poins is on the road leading into
the Valley, through Swift Run Gap, and only q
few miles from the foo. of the Blue Ridge
The depredstions committed By POpe's army
in Culpepper are without parallel, even in this
war Of unhsard Of atrocities. The infamous or
der of the Yankee commandsnt of that depart
ment, has been put into practical operation, and,
as a result, large numbers of horses, cattle,
sheep and hogs, etc, have been stolen from their
rightful owners and the stock Of wheat, corn,
and other necessaries OF bte, constituting the
sustenance of the people, have been sppropTia-
ted to the use of the invaders. In some in
stances families have been left upon the verge Of
starvation Acts of tho most infamous chsTac-
ter enacted upon the negro women of the coun-
try, in the presence of ladies, are reported, and
in some instances deeds of violence have been
ueroetrated on respectable ladies' themselves.
Citizens are daily arrested and sent of to Wash
ington, there to Be incarceTstea. Among others,
the RsY. John Cole, an eyed minister of the
Episcopal Church, was arrested on Sunday last,
and taken from his pulpit, for praying for the
Confederacy. They stole from Captain John

a Dangerous Lady.

Letters to Northern papers from the Valley
contain very little of importance. One thus
describes a very dangerous lady;
Mrs. Charles J. Faulkner is the wiliest and
most experienced diplomat In the Valley of Vir.
ginia. She is more dangerous than Belle Boyd,
because she is more edroit, and has larger social
influence and greater means of accomplishing
her purposes. She IS even now almost nightly
inviting c0teTie8 Of our young officers to hsI
house. She and her two daughters lavish their
most courtiy Establishments upon them, and
eIc they know it, ere hey have perceived their
purpose, sll the intelligence they desire is ex-
IIac.ed. Is q matter of course, our plans, cur
rioveInents, tine number Of our troops, and the
direction Of their march, Of the number in gar
risou, are duly transmitted 10 Richmond by the
by-way possEoutes which the rebels have all
through this Valley.

precious fright of intelligence, skill and seces-

The mechanical enterprise and skill of the
macon & Western railroad repair shop" at
Macon, we had gratifying evidences Of 8 day or
tao sgo in seeing the handsome locomotive
Victory" on one Of the railroad tracks near the
depot in this ciay, proudly challenging, as it
were, tAe critical examination Of our experienced
machinisis. while it was commanding the edmi-
ration Of our citizens; for though they, as well
as ourselves, have seen more powerful engines,
none have seen more bright, more beautlul
machine" W5 learn that the work on this
was commenced about eight months ago; that it
was done in the "Maeon q Western railroad re-
pair shop;" and that, with the exception OF the
bell, safety balance, steam gauge, and water
gauge, it was completed ia that shop; these, too,
would have been made there, but for the fact
that they were already on hand We also learn
that the brass mountings of the engine were
cast at the foundry of the shop in Macon, by a
Macon made mechanic. All this is highly credit
able to the rsachinsts of the shop, where the
Victory" was constructed, for, if we are cor
rectly advised and we believe we are, there IS
no locomotive shop in America, that does all the
work, or finishes all the material, of locomotive
the brass mountings, wheels, axles, etc,
being sll purchased for their machines
The 4" Victory" weighs % tens, and cost
little over So, 600. She is now being run by
Engineer Joe Hartman, and was constructed
under the supervision of Mr. E. Crockett, tho
master mschinist Of the shop.
We see in this evidence that the South can 60
on and build her locomotives. She possesses both
/ the mechanical skill and ability to do SO. II she
will only be 4rgetic, and persevere, she will
achieve anot ar UietOTyove the North, as import
ant in its results, as Uictorics won upon the bat
/ tie field. The machirists of Macon have shown
Whist they can do. Those OF Atlanta have
already demonstrated their ability to turn out
work Of the same description. Savannah, If she
/ has not already done so, can with her machin-
lists do the same. Let us then have no mere
Yankee locomotives after this revolution is en-
ded and our Independence won, but let us con-
struct them at home, in Georgia. and thus
and especially over the North.-ARanta Lateilt

a Rebel Operator Esends Gen. EEaiIeclI's
Dispatches for EOur Days.


A Memphis correspondent Of the New York
Times writes on the 18th as follows:
The telegraph line between Memphis and Cor
inth is exceedingly important. Gen. Halleck s
messages to Com Davis, Gen. Curtis and the
commandsnt of this post have all passed over il.
Little Of the line IS guarded, but of late the
rebels have refTajEad from cutting the wires
Their unusual anisbilitY is now explained they
found better use for it
For week the Memphis operators have de-
tected something wrong in the working of the
instruments, and surmised that some outsider
was sharing their telegraphic secrets. They
communicated this suspicion to the superiu-
tendent at COrinlh, who promised to keep 8
sharp lookout.
Yesterday they discovered that their uuinvitsd
coutidant could talk as well as listen. The
transmission of a passage was suddenly inter
rupted by the ejaculation, " O. pshaw {" A

There was little pause and then the reply:
" How in the world did you know ne How

we want to know As this is becoming rather
a tight place, think I Wil leave. You'll see
me again when you lesst expect it. Good bye
