Arrest of a supposed spy. --A man named Price, formerly of Rockingham, N. C., was arrested yesterday by Lieut. W. H. Coffin, of Capt. Pate's Cavalry corps, Wise Legion, and brought to this city, where he was handed over to the custody of Gov. Letcher. Price, it is said, was engaged not long since in tearing down a Confederate flag in North Carolina, and latterly has visited Indiana, where he carried his slaves. He also visited at the same time Illinois. When arrested, he had no baggage. He told Lieut. C. that he could travel anywhere in the North where he was well known. The Governor deferred his examination, and Price was held in custody.

horough reconnaissance of the neighborhood, and acquired much valuable information concerning the reads and other avenues of approach. Gen. Floyd had not joined Gen. Lee up to the time our informant left, having been detained by high water, but is doubtless with him at present. A Mississippi regiment had searched Big Sewell, and the men seemed to be in fine health and spirits. Gen. Loring was at Lewisburg on Sunday last, on his way to join Lee, with 4,000 men including 1,000 militias and probably reached Camp Defiance on Monday. This would give Gen. Lee a force fully able to cope with the enemy, and it was believed he would offer battle without delay. We may thus expect stirring events from that quarter in a short time. The Central train yesterday brought down fourteen "loyal citizens" in the Lincoln of Boone county, who were captured by Pate's Rangers, while on a scouting expedition. These Union men of the West are hard-looking specimens, all ragged and all unwashed.

Pate's, Phelps's, Jordan's, Pogue's, and on their march through Fayetteville were joined by Caskie's Rangers, all as Invincible, as Gen, Cox expressed himself about this company. In the morning they could be seen on the summits of Cotton hill, figr companies of any glory which they may have won in that foray. They all fought with that intrepidness that none but the true sons of the South could, to drive a ruthless and savage foe from our homes and firesides. After the fight was over, Capts. Pate's and Caskie's Rangers proceeded to Skin creek, for the purpose of breaking up a cen of tories, who had built a formidable breastwork in that neighborhood.--We arrived just in time to rout the garrison and take about twenty prisoners.

More prisoners. --The Central train yesterday brought down some twenty-four prisoners of war, captured in Western Virginia.--They were in custody of Lieut. Jordan, of Pate's Cavalry, Corporal Wm. Bethel, and seven men. The lot included ten or twelve soldiers of the "Bloody Eleventh" Ohio regiment, while the others are Virginia Lincolnites, whose prominent trait seems to be a fondness for rags and dirt. One of the latter is a venerable sinner, who claims to be a parson, and calls himself the Rev. Thomas Jones. Being apparently sick, he was conveyed away from the depot in an ambulance, while his interesting companions were marched off to prison.

They remained until eight o'clock next morning, and returned to Gen. Floyd's camp with all their trophies of victory. The enemy soon after took possession of the town and burnt it. Both officers and men behaved well, and especially gallant was the conduct of Col. Clarkson, Lieutenant-Colonel Jenkins, Capt. Pate, and others.
