A report is also mentioned of a skirmish on the 6th inst., on the border of Johnson co., between Missouri refugees, aided by some Kansas, and a body of Confederates.--Three of the latter are reported to have been killed.

Affairs in North Alabama. The Knoxville Register, of June gets the following items of interest from Col William Hendley, who recently arrived in that city from North Alabama. Col. Wm.

He reports that the Yankees are perpetrating all manner of outrages in the counties of Limestone and Madison, robbing the citizens of money, clothes, bacon, horses, and in fact everything else, unfrequently quartering their horses in the houses of planters and otherwise shooting them, until such a reign of terror has been inaugurated that no citizen dare raise so much as the little Gager by way of profess against the barbarism of the invading force.
