sts were current last evening, but in the absence of reliable information names are withheld until the facts are made public. Proceedings are conducted with secrecy. Two of the daughters of Philip Phillips, Esq., attorney at law, formerly a member of Congress from Alabama, have also been taken into custody by the Provost Marshal's Guard, under the allegation of treasonable correspondence with the enemies of the Union in arms. The Washington Star, of Monday evening, says: Dr. Manning, a resident of the county of Washington, (on the South side of the Eastern Branch,) has been arrested by order of the War Department. We presume the charge against him is of complicity with those in Washington who have been supplying the oligarchy at Richmond and Manassas with information concerning military matters here. J. W. Mankin, of Georgetown, was arrested on Saturday for disloyalty, and Mr. J. Grimes, a merchant of that city, yesterday, on the same charge. Mrs. Phillips

to remove our wounded from the hospital, which had become the special target of the enemy's rifle guns, notwithstanding it was surmounted by the usual yellow hospital flag, but which, however, I hope, for the sake of past associations, was ignorantly mistaken for a Confederate flag. The name of each individual medical officer I cannot mention. On the day of the engagement I was attended by my personal staff, Lt. S. W. Ferguson, A. D. C., and my volunteer Aides-de-Camp, Cols. Preston, Manning, Chestnut. Miles, Chisholm, and Beyward, of South Carolina, to all of whom I am greatly indebted for manifold essential services in the transmission of orders on the field, and in the preliminary arrangements for the occupation and maintenance of the line of Bull Run.

n faces, they do not much belle (in appearance) their self-adopted sobriquets of "tigers," "catamounts," &c. The most noted, however, in the appearance of savage ferocity, is our intrepid Colonel, (Albert Rust.) standing about six feet three, and probably a little more than equally proportioned, with voice, when aroused, something like the roaring of a lion, and evidently enforcing each word with rapid gestures of his heavy blade. He is eminently worthy the post he fills, and with Barton, Manning, Mattison, and Sommes around him, seems the holdest Roman of them all. Yet if he posseses more rim than the cool and calculating Barton (Lieut. Col.) it is only because of his capacity to contain it. Though as yet we have had no "regular set-to," we have had opportunities of testing the metal of the Arkansas 3d, which Cols. C. Johnston, Scott, and others of no less note, pronounced "true blue." and fitted to any emergency, not superhuman. An expedition undertaken on the 16th ultimo; (a

Religious revival. --An interesting series of religious meetings of three days continuance, was closed at Mount Airy, in Amherst county, on Wednesday last, during which, nine persons professed conversion and united with the Methodist Episcopal Church. The meetings were conducted by the Rev. Mr. Manning, and were the occasion of much interest both to the members of the church and those who have not yet been brought within its fold.

As-you are well aware, I wrote you last from Camp Bartow, Pocahontas county; since which time we have changed our quarters to a far more genial clime, and where we have met with civilization and the utmost kindness This Brigade, consisting of the 1st Georgia, Maj. Thompson, commanding; the 3d Arkansas, Maj. Manning; the 37th Va. Lieut. Col. Carson; and the old 23d Va. Volunteers Lieut. Col. A. G. Taliaferro--under the command of Col. Wm. B. Taliaferro--left Camp Bartow on Friday, the 21st of November and reached our present encampment on Sunday, December 8th.

ke to escape, and one of them struck her in the face with his fist, knocking her down, and injuring her severely. The people of Shepherdstown insisted strongly upon his remaining a day or two, but he refused, and hurried on to report to Gen. Stuart. He was received here with much pleasure, and he now has a seat at the General's table, and is once more engaged in the daring exploits incident to the life of a scout. One little incident is worthy of record. The day before the fight, Capt. Manning, Aid to Gen. Longstreet, gave Burke his spur to put a new rowel in. The spur was carried in his pocket through his captivity, and the first thing he did on arriving in Martinsburg was to put a new rowel in it, and, on arriving here, the spur was duly returned to its owner. Burke is now a great favorite among the officers on the outposts, and is doing his country good service in keeping the Generals well posted in all movements of the enemy. He is one of the characters in this war t

l. Our regiments then proceeded to perform their work — the destruction of the bridge — in the execution of which they were at first annoyed by the enemy's long range guns, until Marye sent them howling away by a few well-directed charges of grape and shell. They succeeded in burning the bridge, tearing up some of the railroad, and then returned to the main body on Monday. They lost in the engagement two men in each regiment and several wounded. Cols. Rust, Fulkerson, and Carson, and Majors Manning and Williams, were in the thickest of the fight, and nobly led their men on; but their gallant men did not need much enticing to engage their hated foe. I regret to say that Capt. Alexander; of company 1, 3d Arkansas, lost an arm in this engagement. Both of these regiments belong to Col. Wm. B. Taliaferro's 4th Brigade, and the other two--23d and 1st Georgia--were on picket duty from Saturday night till Tuesday morning, when our army proceeded to return, having accomplished its object.
