In this hospital la the Bebel prisoner, taken on Wednesday last by our cavalry, while he was talking to a lady cousin in Haynesvfile, In attempting to make hi. escape he was struck twice oa the head with a sabre, and was also bruised by being thrown from bis horse. In conversation, I gleaned from 1 him the following facts While living in Clark county, Ohio, last summer, his parents, who reside near Martinsburg, wrote for him to return.

He did so, and says he was immediately impressed into th. service, and subsequently joined AaHBT's Cavalry. It is strange tbit prisoners are always impressed. He was not in the battle at Winchester, but arrived lo that town, on furlough, on Sunday last, after oar troops had passed through. He remained tbere until evening and then came on to Martinsburg, and subsequently to the village where he was captured.

He bus on a eoarse grey jacket aud a pair of our blue pantaloons, which he says were given to him by a brother Bebel who "bad more than he could carry." He states that Ewell'j force was about 28,000, and Jacxson's 10,000 or 12.000, but that Johnston was expected to follow with large reinforcements. Ashbt'8 Cavalry numbers twenty-eight companies, and all the regiments' bave had their ranks filled recently to the maximum by conscription and otherwise. He states that when he arrived at Winchester, on Suaday, the citizens were exulting and bcasting of the reception they had given our troops as they passed through, and questioning each other to ascertain who bad fired the greatest cumber of shots from doors and win dows. He confirms the statement that women also ban. died deadly weapons aud miatiles, and says that did not hear cf any of the female assassin, being killed by our nin in return, but that "two were crippled." The burning of the block in which tha Quartermaster's building was 'located, and wtlclt was fired by that officer, was still burulrg on SonT d.iy evening, and the citizens were earnestly laboring vo subdue the flames.

Is'o other buildings were os fixe. He informed me, also, that when Banks was at Harrisonburg, the Bebel force, at Staunton, was very desponding, but that for the last few weeks since our retrograde movement commenced, they were more sanguine of success, aud loudly boasted of their intention to cross the Potomac. Our informant gave the aboye as facts, but due aliowanot xuubt be made coming from tb source they do. Among the Hissing. Among the niiasicg officers are Oaptdn CHARLES Pkxrosb, your city, and Capt.

"All right," tbe Lieutenant, and in p.notbej moment he was swimming across, leading the acd cials.

They also broke open many of the stores and burned the contents. A Urge force of the United States Cavalry, trader Colonel Elliott, was sent out, on Wednesday morning, by a circuitous, route to destroy abridge on the Mobile and Ohio Railroad, sooth of Corinth. Though this expedition has not yet returned, we learn from the prisoners that It was known in Corinth last night that a larce. bridge had bean de stroyed, forty miles South, by a body of our cavalry. 1 i uey also state mat one or the 20-pounder Farrott shells fired from General Pope's column, in the flight yesterday, exploded their camp, killing, eighty men and a horses, and, that a 30.

pounder Parrott shell, thrown into Corinth as an experiment by General Pope, destroyed a locomotive and killed its engineer. It is thought, among military men, that the detraction of the bridge south of Corinth, the uncom-orttble proximity of our falling shells and the possibility of Federal successes on the Mississippi, were the causes of the evacaation. The enemy's works were certainly of very great strength, and capable of a stoat resistance. LATEST FROM NEWBERN, N. C.

Four hundred released Union prisoners from Salisbury, are in the steamer Cossack, at Newbern, and will leave for the North Immediately. The balance of our men will also be released this week.

Many of the busiuess housts are open, but their clocks, consisting merely of "remnanti" such Philadelphia merchants always give over to the "urtfioneer's hammer, are not very inviting or indicative of foreign trade.

The staff officers of the difforent commanding Ge-ncruls, without exception, behaved gallantly.

Among others who were conspicuous were Captain Wil-kiss and Lieutenant Pittm an?" of General Wil liams' staff, and Lieutenant Witman, of Acting Brigadier-General Donnelly's staff. The latter, while dashing forward to convey an order, was struck in the knee by a spent ball, producing, however, a no more serious wound than a bruise. When Lieutenant Colonel of the Forty-sixth Pennsylvania, was thrown from his hone, he was waving his sword and cheering his men on. As soon as he fell, a number of the men rushed towards him, under the impression he was dead; but when they ascertained- bts safety, the fire of the enemy was forgotten, and rejoicings were nttered by those who had gathered around their beloved officer. It was a pleasing sight, on Monday and Tuesday, to witness the mutual greetings of officers and men.

Hands were warmly pressed, and eyes glistened, as the heartfelt congratulations went from one to another. Colonels rejoiced with Captt Lieutenants with Generals, and privates not UBfrequently cordially embraced their commanding officer. Sunday bad been a fearful day, only equalled by the night that followed, and no one knew who was killed, wounded, or safe, until the confuaioa ceased snd op. portuuity was afforded the officers to ascertain the condition of their commands.
