 A e respondent Of the Washington C;,s,-
 s@tslls how the cons,ripts behaved q. the battle of Bristow:
 :" am here compelled to say a word of truth for tho conscripts Gen. Webb, who had d large number of them in his division, speaks ot them in terms of wonder and admiration.- They stcoa n t5eir places aud .tougM No more can be said of the bravest modern war | rior.

 The Rebel prisoners of war confined nt Camp Chase, near Columbus Ohio, held poll on election day, and cast l ,OS3 votes for Gov ernor-2 for Brough; all the rest for Val. Had the Rebels not yet captured voted too, and thelr vote been canvassed and received, Val would doubtless have been elected. As 1t is, he only polls l05,00O, or such matter. short of majority.
 Fhe rebel currency is in bad way. Wig fall says that if the confederates should double the pay of the soldier, " the S22 would prob = ably buy less than the Sll which he now re. ceives.'
