CHASED BY LADIEs.-The following para.
graph, which we clip from the army letter of
the Mobile Tribune, may contain some truth !;
but as we have before heard nothing of the af-
fair, we cannot vouch for its accuracy:
We were driving Sedgwiek's infidels across
Banks's ford, when Yankee officer was seen
making his way through the streets Of Frede-
ricksburg, where we had no troops at the time,
in order to gain the opposite side Of the river.
A number Of ladies standing on porch at the
time saw the runaway, aud cried out "stop
him, stop him." when Miss Philippa Barbour,
q niece Of Col Phil. Barbour, Of Va, with a
number Of other ladies, gave chase, and ran
the Yankee officer nearly down, who. convuls.
ed with laughter at the sport, and the idea OF
haustsd, aid gave up en- being hemmsd in st
the corner of garden fence! The ladies took
him prisoner, and locked him up in a room un-
til our troops again entered the city.

BankSS . Movements.

The tsisgraphic news of yesterday announc'
ed that Banks had crossed his, army at Bayou
Sara. This is about ten miles above Port Hud-
son. His object is, therefore, to get behind
that post and carry it by land attack. This
movement is designed to finish the work ini,
tiated by Grant, and clear the navigation Of
the Mississippi A few days will tell the story.
The Yankee army cannot at this time of the
year long remain in the rear of either place,
and they must both be taken hurrisdly or not
at all this year. The next news will probably
be of AN assault ON Port Hudson.
