From Cumberland Gap. --The Lynchburg Republican, of yesterday, says: On the letter bill received here Saturday evening from Cumberland Gap, dated the 12th, the postmaster at that place writes that the enemy was then in sight, and that a fight was expected the next day, (the 13th,) Thursday last. It is the design oCumberland Gap, dated the 12th, the postmaster at that place writes that the enemy was then in sight, and that a fight was expected the next day, (the 13th,) Thursday last. It is the design of the enemy, doubtless, to make a powerful effort to get possession of Cumberland Gap, and thence make an advance into East Tennesses, towards Knoxville. There was a rumor in the city yesterday of a fight, but we could trace it to noreliable source. t was expected the next day, (the 13th,) Thursday last.

Hon. John Bell. --This old statesman made a stirring speech at Winchester, Tennessee, a few days ago. The army correspondent of the Savannah Republican thus alludes to it: He told the people that all had not been lost — that there was no reason to be discouraged, and that if they would be free they must strike now, and strike with all their power. He urged them to turn out en masse, and to drive the invader from their soil. I hear that he took an encouraging view of our affairs, and that his speech had a good effect. This is the man who was held up to the people of the South as untrue to their institutions; and yet all his property has been seized and confiscated by the invaders, and still he is loyal to our cause.

Martial law. --It is an indisputable fact that mortial law has rid the metropolis of a majority of all the loafers, rowdies, thieves, pick-pockets, etc. But in accomplishing this, it has turned them all into highwaymen, in the outskirts of the city. Hollywood, Sidney, Shed Town and Darby Town, are now ruled by these "men about town!" to the terror of all nervous ladies and small girls. It is unsafe for ladies to be out after sunset, or leave their doors unbarred. We learn from a lady of veracity and respectability, that a servant boy was knocked down, in broadday-light, while on his way home from the post-office, Wednesday last, with valuable letters for his mistress, and unmercifully whipped by a set of suburban desperadoes. As the Provest Marshal's armed police are little better than the snoring night- watch, heads of families on the out skirts of the city ought to form "Vigilance Committees" for the protection of their families, while they are gone with the "melish."

Yankee prisoners. --The Fredericksburg Fress, of Saturday, says that two Federal prisoners were captured a few days since, near Dumfries, by a squad of Caroline Light Dragoons, under Sergt. Wade--John Gregg, of New York, a telegraphic operator, and Lient, Baum, of Philadelphia, of General Hooker's Staff. He had sent 300 men over, and these two had gone "on to Richmond" earlier than they expected.

Quantrel's band entered Aubrey, Kansas, on the 7th inst., killed five men and captured fifteen or twenty horses. This statement is published in the Northern papers. Every family having a garden should raise white mustard abundantly, in view of the scarcity of an indispensable requisite for the sick room. Mrs. Miry Ingraham, relict of the Rev. J. H. Ingraham, died recently at St. Andrews' Rectory, in Mississippi. Texas is winning a name for gallantry and bravery in this war second to that of no State or people that ever lived.
