We doubted yesterday the correctness Of the
report that ihe Federsls had captured one Of our
cavalry regiments; yet, the doubt could not
drive of 8 gloomy foreboding that disaster had
met some Of our troops. To-day while We have
had no confirmation of the report Of yesterday
1e have learned frOm different persons, aud
bave later information, which comes like con
irmaEons, tbst Van Dorm has captured two
regiments of Yankee cavalry, belonging to t.le
command Of the renegade Stokes, VINO was act
ing brigs3ier.
Affairs on our right ave somewhat interes ting.
Series Of skirnishing go or daily, and the enc
my seems to be sending heavy force in that
direction. Oar forces, which have for some
time occupied Liberty, a little place about
twenty miles this side Of Lebanon and on the
pike nnning 70 Sparta, have fallen back to
Snow Mountain; but they had previously Sc
cured vast amouns Of provisions and forage
from the country occupied The advance of
Yankees is about ten thousand strong
Rosecraos has no doubt been heavily rein
forced from the Army Of the Potomac
a gentleman, who is an officer in the Confed-
crate service and well known by other officers IN
oui town, arrived hero yesterday bringing
much news Of interest. Several weeks ago this
gentleman left our town-hss been 10 Louis
vile and through Illinois. He confirms the re-
port of great dissatisfaction in the West-that
arms are evervwhere hidden and the Demo-
ersts say they win resist Lneolo's consctip-
ton effort The fear Of resistance induced
the order foF6idding the sale Of fire.srms in In
disn&pois and other places In Kentucky The
Union feeling has died nearly out The most
violent Union men a shori time since, are luke
warm OF entirely changed now
George D. Prentice has really gone to Eu-
rope--ts1ing with him his dsughteT-in-law--th
wife of Major Clarence Prentice, and who was
for some time with her husband here in Win
chester. George d. Prentice sold his green
backs +" for gold, giving $50 This is ceTtsiniy

Rosecrans has sent five regiments Of infantry
to Kentacky and hss ordered all the cavalry
from that State to his army here, and is lnassing
bis troops on his left-our right-doubtless to
prevent any movement on our part into that
State, and for other reas0ps ID 5ih
