Depredations in Scott county.

--A special dispatch to the Lynchburg Virginia says that the Yankee cavalry lately overtook the mail carriers at Pattonsville, in Scott county, and captured two carriers and the mail. They also made prisoners of twenty citizens, including the postmaster. Two men were killed by the marauders. One of the carriers escaped and made his way to Abingdon. Pattonsville is on Price's Turnpike and Cumberland Gap road, sixty miles west of Abingdon and forty-five from Bristol. The Lynchburg Republican says the Yankees also captured a wagon load of muskets in Scott, and secured a considerable amount of plunder. In Lee county they robbed Capt. Daniel Dickinson of everything he possessed, and made great efforts to arrest him, but he made his escape.
