Prison Record. --Among the prisoners received at the Libby prison yesterday were Capt G C Rose, 4th Missouri cavalry, and Lieuts J F Ausbrandi, of the same regiment, and J L Lesley, 18th Penn cavalry, captured at Stafford Court-House on Wednesday evening. There were ten Yankees received from Staunton, captured at Bertyville, Clarke county, a short time ago, and one hundred and ten others, picked up in different quarters. Major Robert Morris, of the 6th Penn cavalry, died quite suddenly at the Libby prison hospital. His remains were buried yesterday afternoon at Oakwood. The officers of his regiment were allowed by Gen. Winder to attend his funeral. At Castle Thunder W L Soley and -- Razer, 2d Florida regiment, were committed. It seems that Razer had been consigned to the Castle for some offence, and to obtain his release Soley went to Gen. Winder and represented himself as a Lieutenant of Razer's company. Under this representation R. was liberated; but the bogus charac

From Northern Virginia. --We received yesterday no late or important news from the line of the Rapidan. Passengers by the Central train were unable to furnish even a rumor from the army of Gen. Lee, from which it is reasonable to infer that no military movements looking to active operations are in progress. From the Valley we learn that Major Gilmore's battalion made a raid in Jefferson and Clarke counties in the early part of last week. The Yankees at Charlestown, becoming alarmed, left the place during Tuesday night, and our men entered the same night, and at last accounts were still there. Charlestown is eight miles from Harper's Ferry. The last accounts we had from the latter point represented the Federal force there to be about 6,000. They have been sent off, however, to strengthen Rosecrans or Meade. When at Charlestown Major Gilmore is but five miles from the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. We hope to hear that he has tapped that road.

for his release. The next day the Yankees visited Winchester and arrested and carried off as hostages, Philip Williams and Robert Y. Conrad, Esq., the most influential citizens of the place. Along the Shenandoah river, in Jefferson and Clarke counties, a regular band of robbers has been organized, composed of deserters from our army. This band employs its time and supports itself by plundering farmers and others, and their deeds of outrage cause them to be more dreaded than the Yankees. About two weeks ago a party of this band met two ladies in a rockaway, on the turnpike near Berryville in Clarke county, and robbed them of everything they had, stripping them of every article of clothing upon their persons, even to their shoes and stockings, compelling, them to walk a distance of three miles to their homes without clothing, on a bitter cold evening. They also stole the horse from the rockaway. A short time after this occurrence, the leader of the band, a men named Longerbea

The following official dispatch, received yesterday morning at the War Department, confirms our account of Mosby's recent exploit near Berryville: "Colonel Mosby reports that he attacked the enemy's supply train near Berryville, on the 13th instant, captured and destroyed seventy-five loaded wagons and secured over two hundred prisoners, including several officers, between five and six hundred horses and mules, upwards of two hundred beef cattle, and many valuable stores. "A considerable number of the enemy were killed and wounded. His loss, two killed and three wounded." Berryville is the court-house of Clarke county, and situated in the northern part of the Valley of Virginia, about eleven miles from Winchester.

his men are in, and report that he is safe in the mountains, and carefully working his was through at night. He belongs to the Eighth Ohio cavalry, which was re-organized from the Forty-fourth Ohio infantry, after two years service, during which Captain Badger was promoted from the ranks. So much for Yankee falsehood and braggadocio. Now for the truth: On the 2d of November, 1864, five members of the Sixth Virginia cavalry, acting as scouts for General Lee, proceeded through Clarke county to the Valley turnpike, near Bartonsville, seven miles above Winchester, capturing two Yankees as soon as they reached the road, leaving them in the woods, with one of their number as a guard. Six more Yankees were likewise captured soon after, taken to the same place, and two of the scouts remained in charge of their eight prisoners. Returning to the road, they encountered the mail-carrier, who rode up and asked if they had seen Captain Badger and his two orderlies.--"No. Where is he?
