Samuel M. Price, of Greenbrier.
We learn, from a private letter from Lewisburg, that Samuel M. Price, Esq., who represented Greenbrier county in the late Convention, is still a prisoner, and, it is stated, will be held for our good treatment to Dr. Rucker, Mr. Price is a man who stood well as a public and private individual, and although he took strong Union grounds in the Convention, no one was more devoted to the interest of his State, as soon as she had cast her fate with the South.
When the enemy made his appearance in Lewisburg he addressed the citizens, even in his very presence, entreating them to hold fast to their allegiance.
He moreover, objected publicly to the election for city officers which was proposed.
He was then taken prisoner, and released.
Afterwards, when the enemy had to leave Lewisburg again, they took him off to Charleston, where he is now a prisoner, but not closely confined.
When some of the enemy met Mrs. Price they told her of the intention of th

Escaped from the Yankees.
Samuel Price, Esq., a member of the Virginia Convention, who was arrested in Greenbrier county, Va., by the Yankees, has escaped from his captors and arrived safely at his home.
He was in Charleston, Kanawha, when our troops captured that place, and the Yankees were too busy running away to carry him with them.
He was in his room during the fight, and after it was over came out a free man, the town then being in the hands of the Confederate troops, under Gen. Loring.

Yankee Depredations in Greenbrier, etc. Lynchburg, Dec. 1.
--The Yankees made a raid into Greenbrier county, Va., a few days ago, and captured 100 of Jenkins's cavalry and about 200 horses, together with all their accoutrements.--[This is probably an exaggeration of a raid reported elsewhere in to-day's paper.]
A number of arrests have been made here today of parties who have been engaged in robbing and garroting.
They are principally of Wheat's old battalion.

The capture of Confederates in Greenbrier.
A notice appeared in our issue of Tuesday, stating that a force of our cavalry had been captured a Greenbrier county, some days before.
Since we have received the Fincastle Express, containing full particulars of the affair.
The Express learns from a gentleman direct from Lewisburg, that one day last week, through the carelessness of our scouts the Yankees captured one hundred and five of our cavalry, as many horses, and destroyed the camp equipage of the force arrested.
It seems that our men were scouting on Sinking creek, the same place where our wagons were recently burned and that the pickets were very careless in the discharge of their duties — leaving their post and returning when convenient.
A picket of ten men having left their post and gone to camp, were returning when a small squad of the enemy was seen in the road ahead.
Chase was given, when the squad of Yankees retired in haste; our men passed until reaching a short t
