FORTRESS IoxkoE, Jan. 31.--A prisoner Of
war named Taylor, Of Cincinnati, has arrived
here by a flag Of truce, from Richmond. He
says that Gen Beauregard has left for Ken
tncky, taking with him Is 600 men from Ma
nassas, and that Jefefson Davis Is to take com-
mapd in person of the troops at 1fanass2s,
after his Inauguration as President, on the I'D
Of February.
The greatest panic prevails at Norfolk and
Richmond in r.:sard to the Burnside Expedi-
tion, and Mr. Taylor says he WIS accompanied
to Norfolk, a man who was very watchful not to
let him carry any papers with him. From this
it is supposed they must have obtained some
important information

Heroic Conduct of Two Ladies.

The conduct of two young ladies of Dan
vile, KY, on the occasion of the arrival OF
the rebels at that place, was equal to our
idea of Spartan courage. For many months
beautiful specimen of the national flag has
foated from the residence of Mrs. Taylor,
an estimable widow lady. and when the reb-
els took possession of Danville it was but
natural that they should seek to remove the
hated emblem. A squad of half dozen
men were sent to Mrs. Taylor's residence to
take possession of the flag, but they were
confronted at the door of the residence by
Miss Maria and Miss Matte Taylor. the
two accomplished and charming daughters
of the patriotic widow, the young ladies an
nouncing their intention to defend the cher
ished banner. The chivalrous half-dozen
returned to their commander aud reported
it would require force equal to full COM
pany to capture the flag; and company
was accordingly dispatched to make the
capture. Arriving in front of Mrs. Faylor's
residence, the commander of the company
demanded the surrender of the flag; butthe
two Young ladies again made their appear
auce, bearing the flag between them, each
armed with a revolver. In response TO the
demand for the flag. the ladies informed
their prosecutors that they would never sur
render it TO rebels, and, drawing their pis-
tolls, vowed that they would shoot the hrst
rebel that polluted the sacred emblem with
his foul touch. The company of rebels re-
tired, leaving the ladies in quiet possession
of their flag, which they yet retain.

Feeding Oats to Horses.

The same quantity of oats given to a
horse produces different effects according
to the time they are administered. I have
made experiments on my own horses, aud
have always observed there is in the manure
a quantity of oats not digested, when gave
them water after feed of oats. There is,
then, decidedly great advantage in giving
horses water before feeding grain. There
is another bad habit-that of giving grain
and hay on their return to the stable after
hard work Being very hungry, they de-
YOUR it eagerly and do not masticate; the
consequence is. it is not so well digested
and not nearly SO nutritious. When horse
returns from work, perspiring and out OF
breath, he should be allowed to rest for a
time, then given little hay, half an hour
afterward water, and then oats. By this
plan, water may be given without risk OF
cold, as the oats act as a stimulant.-JoaT-
