Expulsion of ladies from the Yankee lines.

The victory of Gen. Imboden at Charlestown seems to have aroused the ire of the Yankee forces in that section, and they are spending their wrath in persecuting the defenceless women of the Valley. A few days since they expelled from their homes the daughters of Capt. J. W. Rowan, of the 2d Virginia regiment, and one or two other ladies. At Shepherdstown, in the same county, they have arrested several Southern ladies and required them to take the oath or be sent South.
