Abolishing Trovost Offices. -We clip the following from the Montgomery Advertiser. Gen Dick Taylor i3 working reforms in his department: General Dick Taylor has done one thing for which we ought to be thankful if he never docs another. He has abolished all the Provost offices in the district of Alabama, Mississippi and East Louisiana, over which he presides. We are pained to learn that Mj. Charles M.

The New York Herald publishes a list of the officers captured in the fight near Winchester, among whom we find the following North Caroli nians: Col.RT Bennett, 14th; Jit M M Hines, 23d; Lt J J Catling, 5ih; Lt VV A Reddick, 5th; lit J D Irwin, 20tb; Lt M G Webb, 45th; Lt R L Watson, 5th; Lt 11 II Smith, 5th; O.pt E M Lyon, 23d; Lt J Ingram, 20th; Lt II M Warren, 4iii; Lt G M Williams, 14th; Capt S A Kelly, 4th; Lt T M C Davidson, 4th; Capt N II Chadwick, 2d; Lt J A Hall, 53d; Lt J N Scott, 53d. The whole number captured is 105, of whom 75 arc from the State of Virginia. A Minister Flogged. The Rev: O B. Cald well, who is on duty in General Wheeler's corps, gives the Bristol Gazette the following narrative of shocking and fiendish cruelty displayed by East Tennessee Unionists towards a Presbyterian minis ter, lie says: - Our people are all hopeful, yet, they arc suffer ing as people never did before. The? oppression has turned to a religious persecution. Rev. George Egleton, pastor of the New Murkct Pres byterian Church, was ordered by the L.ioti men to quit preaching, lie knew it was not done by proper authority, so ho continued, end the rest week was taken out of bed and marched down the railroad below town, and ordered to draw his c jut, then his shirt; and when he refused, U was taken ofi of him. "Then two men who had withes pre pared, whipped him, while a third one stood be fore him with drawn pistols, threatening bis life if he offered any refcistance. Part of the time he was unconscious of his awful condition.' Two weeks have elapsed and still his wounds are un healed: but he bad to fle for hi3 life Yet this man was more quiet and peaceable, than any one else,.and no charge was made against hira except that, because ho was a rebel minister, he was a minister of the devil. This whole affair -wa3 con ducted by men of his own church, and some of the good old christian men were at his door ready to dress his wounds when he returned. But the worst of all was, that the same threat was exten ded to all who sympathized with him or showed him any favors. Rev. John McCampbell and Rev. Isaae N. Caldwell were also threatened with the same treatment if they did not leave the coun trv. So they all thought prudence the better part . i t ,1 iu of valor, and have . left their homes and their churches. .

It will require sixty days to replace them. -.. -- An Affecting Incident. Upon the author ity of an officer wounded in the Valley fight near Winchester, wo narrate the following incidents: In the hottest of the fight and just where the ball fell thickest, the Colonel of the 45th Regimeut N. C. T., (who is an anti-missionary Baptist,) was seen to kneel over a dying soldier and pray for him. While thus engaged the order of retreat was poun ded; rising from prayer and mounting his horse, he dabed off, but had not gone many yards ere the cries of the soldier who. fell wounded in the retreat reached him, imploring his comrades not to leave him. The gallant und humane Colouel wheeled his horse and facing a storm of shot and shcil rode back to the wounded soldier, and, being a man of uncommon muscle, leaned from the sad dle and gathering the broken legged soldier by the collar bore him off triumphantly. These arc facts; and that officer's name is Winston, from Rockingham county, this State. Milton Chroni cle. Taxes. The Sheriffs are now settling their taxes with the Comptroller.

" k - Sir: Upon the etc of my departure from Fcrt Delaware, I was urged by my fellow prinonem to call the attcntiou of the authorities of the Confed erate States to their condition. Bufferings, &e. This I cannot bopo to do fully and satisfactorily ia a short communication. An effort was made by certain men, just previous to the shipment of tho tick and wounded from Fort-Delaware, to gat vp commission to our authorities,' similar to lha one fitnt North from Andcrsonville and to inform oar Government of the condition of tho prisoners, and to urgo our authorities, if possible, to mako eome arrangement with tho Yankee Government by which they would bo permitted to receive tobacco, VtVVIMII.. ic, from Richmond. The men refused to request the Yankee Government to send uch coiuuiisMoncn to Richmond, believing tbat oar worthy Chief Magistrate, in whom they have tho utmost confidence, and (or whom they entertain a , universal love and Cbtctm, bad done all that Le could with honor to have them released, acd the believed him to bo cognisant cf their condition;' ana as they did not wish, as ardently as they de sired to be released from prison, to induce our au thorities to sacrifice a principle, or to embarrass tho President in any manner whatever. Their sufferings have been severe and manifold, but they are as true to the cause as oar bravo bro thers in the field.. True, they dread confinement this winter, when it is so evident from the expe rience of tho last, that their sufferings will be great, aud they aro anxious for release, bat not at the sacrifice of a lutidamcntal or vital principle. It possible, they dthirc some arrangement made by which they may receive tobacco, money and clothes from their friends or the Government. Tobacco answers all tho purposes of the currency. Many of them wlu te homes are in the Yankcu lines, re ceive in money and clothing from their families and friends. By a recent order they are debarred correspondence with any but father, mother, bro ther or cUtcr. Previous to this, sympathixiog friends aud charitable individuals contributed much to tho relief of many. But, there aro many who have do friends or acquaintances North, and can not write for assistance. If an arrangement could bo mado to supply their prisoners at Belle late o Libby for the privilege of supplying Fort Delaware with a ccrtaiuty that cur men should get what was sent them it would relieve them very much. Of course wc could not undertake to supply prisons ia the interior for the want of traurportation facilities. A word ab to their treatment and 1 luve done. The life of a prisoner is hard and cheerless at best, but when attended with cruelty and ioufiicioncj of food, fuel, bedding and clothing, accompanied with a '-knock down aud drag-out" argument, it Is indescribable. Latterly our prisoners havo oot' been controlled by the stick argument' although the stick is in hand odJ held with threatening menace . I have seen sevcro punishment ioflictcd for tiival causes of course, eoruo government is necessary, but it need not bo'unmiiitary and cruel. I believe, and hare good evidenco fur bolicving, that tobacco has been sent from Richmond to. Del aware and never delivered, Clothiig has been permitted to be received and then, if more than a change, it. was taken from our men, often leaviog them without a change of under clothe. But 1 cannot particularise, presuming that these things are known to our authorities. It would gutify'our President to know that our prisoners have unbounded confidence ia hitn. Trusting that something may bo doni for tho re lief of our brave prisoners, I am, very rcupcctfullj, your obedient servant, STEPHEN P. NUNNELEE, Private Co. II, 5ht Ala. Rcg't Cavalrj. Department of Slate, Richmond, Sept. 27lh. Dc.va Sirj Your letter of this morning with enclosure, has been received. The coudition of. our bravo counlrymco now In the hands of the enemy, is a subject of unceajtlng solicitude with tho Government, and we are using every effort to initiate the severity of their suf ferings. These efforts have had but very liuiiuxl eucccss. Still wc are not without hope that other concessions will be made by tho official of the United States to the demands of humanity, and that by mutual consent the prisoners in the hands of each Government will bo permitted to rceeivo from homo puch necessary supplies as are oot usu ally dbied even to criminals. The government of tho United Stales, by tho prison regulations recently published, do not allow food or clothing to bo cold to our men by the pri son sutlers. They allow one suit of outer clothing and one change of under clothes to be furnished to the prisoners by their relatives, who may choose to send such articles by fljg of truce, but tbi Govern ment is not permitted to supply them. Tobacco also is allowed to bo sent as contribution (rout re latives, but we are not permitted ig send it for tho general uho of our captivo soldiers, as wo would long since have done, being aware that it could ho used to purchase from tho sutlers such supplies si aro most neoded. I uoJcritan J from Col. Ould that he is now oa . the eve of entering into fresh negotiation for an agreement which shall secure to'each Government the right to furnish to its own soldiers io the hands of the other, such supply of warm clothing sod blankets as may bo required for comfort daring tho approachiog winter, and stated ration of meat, bread, coffee, sugar, pickles and vinegar, o that actual physical suffering shall cot be added to those that arc inseparable from imprisonment. - The absence of the President prevents my com municating to bim at present the touching assu rance of the continued affection aoJ con fide nco with which he is regarded by our soldiers, and bich have stood a test so severe aa (nat or toelr Jong iiu prison tnent acd been personally the wite trurl sullerings.
