Of prisoners confined In the Old Capitol would
leave to-day, under flag OF truce, for City Point,

ed a very lively appearance. The guard station
ed around the prison appeared TO be unusually
VigilAnt In watching the movements Of the fair
sex who "hAving the fear Of the bars before their
eyes" did not seem desirous Of arouaing suspicion
by boldly facing the windows OF the different cells 90
they passed up and down, but would seek the oppor
tunity whenever the backs ofthe guand were turned
to cast ally glAnesa In that direction, and We noticed
several instances where signals were, for long
time, exchanged with the prisoners. The guard,
with all their watchfulneSs, were hardy match
for the determiAed and courageous fair onss to-day.
The prlsoners, about $50 in number, left the
prison about O'Clock, In ambulanoes, and pro-
ceeded 10 the sixth street wharf, where they took
passage in the " state OF Maine" ...'h
They were enthusiastically SAluted, both At the
Old Capitol and at the wharf, by the large number
ofpsrSons who had assembled to witness thsiT do
pArture.
The rebels appeared to be in the best Of spirits,
andespeciaIly delighted with the hAlutatlons they
received from their friends. They were escorted
by strong guard. . 1915 ...F . .. NJ

The Rebels in Force in
Shenandoah Valley. !

Our information from private and reliable
sources is connrmatOry of the announcement
made in the REPUBLICAN some days since that
the rebels arc in force in the Shenandoah val
ley. We stated that the enemy were monacIng
Winchester, upon reliable military authority.
We arc now satisfied that the rebels have very
large infantry, artillery and cavalry force bo-
tween New Market and staunton.
From private information obtained from with.
in the enemy's lines, we arc satisfied also that
Lee, through the command Of some one Of bis
SubordinatcS, is contemplating another raid
upon the line of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail-
road. .
The Government can make such use Of this
intelligence as 1t pleAses. We are satisfied that
we are correct, and any dispatch dated Har-
Per's Ferry, or elsewhere, denying the above
statement, will have no weight whatever with
us. Disk ..

The RunOred Appointments or General

The Rumored appointment OF General
Butler 10 bo Provost Marshal General.
The public announcement that Major General
Butler has been nominated as Provost Marshal
General is without the slightest authority and
truth. He would not accept the position If II
were offered to him. besides, the Government
had no idea of rendering 1t. A higher and
more responsible position is in store for Gen.
Butler.
The absurdlty of this announcement ia
shown by the fact that the law providing for
the office requires that the person holding 1t
shall have the rank, pay and emoluments OF
a colonel of cavalry.
The most prominent candidate for tho Office
of Provost Marshal General, which appoint
ment will bo made after the Senate adourns,
is Simeon Draper, Esq, of New York, late tenn
porary Provost Marshal General.

BRUrAL AssAULT ON A EoY.--YesterdAy. after
noon, between and o'clock, Patrick Daily, who
lives on EngliAh Hill, in the Fourth ward, com
mitted most brutal assault upon small boy
named VIM. Grady, striking him upon the head
with an axe, innioting terrible and dangerous
wound. We understand that DAILY was partially
intoxicated at the time and as the boy was passing
with the axe in his hand he (Daly) seized II and
made the assault, and the ran or Roundsman
Kelly was notified, but has been unable 10 and any
trace OF him up to this time. The boy was con-
veyed to his home and medical aid summoned, and
everything ia being done for him that possibly can
be. But the surgeon has expressed belief that
he cannot survive. We hope the police win suo-
coed in finding the guilty party, and that he will
have due punishment meted out TO him.

DESTRUCTION OF THB IEDIANoLA. .
we stated day or two since that we would
not then onllghten our readers in regard to a
matter which was puzzllng them very much.
We allude to the loss Of the gunboat Indlanola,
recently captured from the enemy. We were
10th to acknowledge she had been destroyed,
but such is the case. - :
The Yankee barge sent down tho river last
week was reported to be an iron-clad gunboat.
The authorities, thinking that this monster
would retake tho Indianola, Immediately issued
an order to burn her up. The order was s,,nt
down BY courier to the officer In charge Of tho
boat. A fow hours after, another order was
sent down countermanding the first; it having
been ascertalned that the monstrous craft was
nothing else than coal boat. But before It
reached tho Indianola, she had been blown to
atoms-not even gun was saved. Who is to
blame for this piece, of folly 2-this proclpl-
tancyf It would really seem we had no use
for gunbOats on the Mississippi, as coal-bargo
is magnihed into monster, and our authori-
tics order boat that would have been worth
