defences near Richmond. Lincoln — whilst his own followers are the most dishonest and most unscrupulous body of men on this earth, whilst their organization is reeking with the foulest corruptions — has contrived to fasten upon the McClellan party election frauds that would do credit to his own supporters. This is the richest joke ever perpetrated by the Ape. The frauds are proved, and two of their perpetrators have been sentenced to imprisonment for life ! A prominent New Yorker, one Colonel North, now stands charged with similar frauds, and the military court exhibits a determination, to try his case without delay, of courser that it may bear upon the elections. One Judge Parker, of New York, and others, had, by commission from Governor Seymour, come on to Washington to assist North in his difficulty. Judge Parker took high ground at first; but, finding that the odds were terribly against him, moderated his views; in the language of a Yankee letter-writer, "roosted lower !" Nor

They had interviews with the Secretary of War, and obtained from him permission to visit, in prison, Colonel North and Messrs. Cohen and Jones, the arrested persons, who were subjected to improper treatment and great deprivation. They say that they could obtain no copies; of the charges against the accused, and have found no evidence that frauds were committed by them. They state, also, that soldiers desirous of voting the Democratic ticket meet with great difficulties in their efforts to do so. The commissioners requested of the Secretary of War that either Colonel North and Messrs. Cohen and Jones should be given up for trial to the State authorities, or that the proceedings in their cases should be postponed till after the Presidential election, and they be released on parole; neither of which being complied with, a communication was addre

Our wounded at Winchester. We have a letter from Winchester from one in a position to know of what he writes, which says that the Confederate wounded there numbered six hundred and ninety-four, and the Federal wounded, after the battle of Cedar creek, was four thousand. Of the Confederate wounded, ninety have died, eighty-two been sent North, and forty made their escape. Our prisoners have been furnished liberally by the Federal medical director, but the secondary sawbones show as much of their malice as they can by preventing them from receiving food and delicacies from the ladies at Winchester.

Sent North. --Another instalment of Yankee deserters, who came into our lines under "Order No. 65," were sent homeward yesterday morning. The evening before their departure the commandant of Castle Thunder returned the money and other valuables to those who had any when they first arrived here, and placed them in a separate apartment of the prison from those who were less but during the night, the latter party broke through the barriers which separated them, and made a raid upon the others for the purpose of robbing them. --Being nearly equal in numbers, a desperate fight ensued, during which brickbats were used pretty freely, and but for the interposition of the guard, serious consequences might have been the result.--Conspicuous among the raiders was the famous Yankee lieutenant whose recent exploit in cutting through to the female apartment of the Castle has been noticed in the local columns of the city press. This lieutenant is not very popular among the party who were sen

artment of the Cumberland, Nashville, December 5, 1864. General J. B. Hood, Commanding Confederate Forces on the Franklin road: General: I have the honor to acknowledge receipt of your communication of this date, making a proposition for the exchange of prisoners of the army of the United States now in your possession for a like number of Confederate prisoners belonging to your army in my hands. In reply, I have to state that, although prisoners from your army, they have all been sent North, and are consequently now beyond my control. I am, therefore, unable to make the exchange proposed by you. Very respectfully, yours, &c., George H. Thomas, Major-General commanding. All sorts of rumors prevailed all over the city when the news that a flag of truce had come in got abroad. The general supposition was that General Hood had demanded the surrender of Nashville.

Ingenuity of rebel ladies. --A correspondent of the Mobile Register, who has obtained some information from New Orleans, writes as follows: "Prisoners in this section of country are no longer kept in New Orleans. The officers are sent North, and the privates and others to Ship island. The Yankees say this is all owing to the peculiar cookery of the ladies of the Crescent City, who, being permitted to feed the prisoners, occasionally send them such exquisite dishes of file pie, hatchet pudding, rope cobbier, chisel pot-pie, screw driver catsup, etc., that no bricks or bars in town could hold them."
