It seems that some five or six other ladies were arrested with the daughter of Gen. Battle. The Winchester Bulletin says they were arrested for “passing the Federal lines without authority,” and after a few day’s imprisonment at Nashville, were sent up North to Camp Chase. The order arresting them, stated that they were to be imprisoned for the war. We have already noticed their arrival at Camp Chase. Those of our officers and men who have been captives in this bastile, only can form a correct estimate of the horrible privations these ladies will be subjected to.
