A Rebel Prison in Texas. StORY OF CRUELTIES. CHE LATEST NEWS FROM SE0R8IA. Description tf a Rebel Privoa ia Tex na? Horrible Mtorf of Craeltf . iB> Union Lino, cot Monroe and Water 3ts ) Nkw VoMK.Aug.ist 1 R -Th? Tribune's Tyler, Texas, correspondent describes Camp Ford, near that place, as a prison pen second only to Andersonville iu the barbarism and atrocities inflicted upon Union prisoners for two years. The cor respondent says: Shot, scourged, beat en and tortured, these prisoners were too far off* and too closely guarded for their groans to be heard by those iu the out side world. Their sad story only became kuown from their own shrunken lips af ter they had been exchanged It is a stockaded inclosure of, I judge, eight or ten acres. This estimate includes all a^jucts of the prison. It is situated on the side of a sandy slope, at the lower edge of which, aud jast withiu the stock ade, is a spring that supplied water to the prisoners. The inclosure, which seems to have been enlarged at different times to meet the requirements of the rebel captures, is tilled with huts and shauties of almost every imaginable shape, and constructed of every available material. Two bar rels, one on top of the other, form the chimney of a hut, made of brushes, tbe limbs of which have been pressed to gether and plastered with mud. Near the point at which we entered there Is a number of gravelike mounds scattered over the space of about one acre. I at tirst thought they were graves, but on examiuing found that they were excava tions in the ground which bad been cov ered, first with hushes and then with dirt. Thev had been made by those of our men who had beeu captured last, aud for whom there was 110 room in huts above ground. Every where are blackened spots which show where fires had former ly been, by nieaus of which those who had no shelter at all cooked their daily mite of meal. The cooking utensils which they had used are strewn about, as I noticed. Iu oue of the huts they were piled up with care to wait further use. Toward tbe upper side of the inclosure, where there seems to have been a prison for the confinement of offenders, aro sev eral stumps, on tke tops of which those* who violated auy of the prison rules were made to stand and mark time for perhaps a whole day, while the guard had im perative orders to shoot any one that stopped or fell off from exhaust iou Ihe whole scene, with its associations, is a horrid illustration of the inhumanity that originated and carried on the rebel lion until its overthrow Proclamation from Governor John ton, of Grorgia.

Concerning her connection with Jenkins, she stated that she mot Jenkins first in a Concert Saloon to which she was obliged to go for employment, that her employer told her to pay particular attention to him, that he would give her much money, that she did as she was old, and Jenkins did give her much money, that he gave her $1000 to buy a watch, but she sent itto pay her brother's schooling.

FROM MEW YORK. The Financial Difficulties. A Statement by Mr. Graham. The Ketcham Defalcation? Testimony ?f Sir. Graham. (By Union Liae, cor. Water and Monro* Sts. J New York, Angnst 18. ? The Times says of the Ketcham forgery : The effect apoa Ketcham, Soo & Co., as developed yesterday, is disastrous. What it will l<u eventually, when the storm of excite meat has Massed, is another question. ? Thus far the case sums up thu^: First, they have lost in st leu sureties between $2,000,000 and $3,000,000. Second, they have suspended payment and all opera tions. Third, they have assigned tboir property to P. C. Calhoun, President of the 10th National Bank, and E. Bennett, a former partner of Morris Ketchum, Jr., for the benefit of the creditors. Fourth, the balances due customers, mainly New England banks, amount to the tremen dous sum of $3,500,000. Fifth, they have published a remarkable card, in which they have given the public au idea of their business, which differs materially from the idea previously entertained. It has been truthfully stated that Charles Graham & Co. paid on presentation $285, 000 of the forged gold checks on Monday, and that Edward Ketchum gave them on that morning $250,000 to do it with ? The public regard this transaction with some distrust, and we deem it due to the honor of Mr. Graham to record facts as drawn from him in a conversation yes terday afternoon at four o'clock in Wall street. Mr Graham, yon paid $285,000 of these forged checks on Monday. We knew that Edward Ketchum drew a check for $300,000 before he went oft'. Did he give you the money to pay these checks with? Mr. Graham ? He gave me no money, but as was his constant custom he gave me a check with which to meet his obli gations. The check was for $250,000 I deposited it and drew against it, but what do you think is the result ; Morris Ketch urn refuses to honor the check, and I find it thrown out by his bank, returned to iny bauk, and I* am notified of the over drawing of my account to that amount. It is a most extraordinary and cruel bus iness. The check was drawn bv Morris Ketchum, Sou & Co., before they sus pended, was received by me iu good faith, deposited in bank, drawu agaiust, and passvd to the bank where Ketchum. Son & Co. dealt. ItJ seems rather hard that I should have to suffer to this extent iu addition to what I have already borne. The IjOM by the Ketrhum F?r?fri?. (By Union Line.) New York, August 18?

Letter from General Kilpatrick? Com ditlen of Affair* in North Carolina and Other Southern States? A Tre mendous Howl About Disloyalty? The Radical Opposition to the Oper ating Reconstruction Movement*. Raleigh, N. C. August 16.? Major Geu eral Kilpatrick has written a letter to a gentleman in this city, endorsing tbe course of the Raleigh Progress and tbe loyal representatives of the Northern press for exposing the evil intentions of disloyal leaders in this State, which the General says represent the true condi tion of affairs, not only in North Caroli na, but in all other insurrectionary States, and that the facts should not be smoth ered up by friends of the Government, but it should be generally known, that the people may learn the correct state of things as they* now exist in the South, whicft will enable them to act under standing^ and with justice to all con cerned. Tbe Geueial is making a trip through the State. While here the other day he is reported to have said, after being in formed by a brother officer that these Provisional Governments are a fizzle, that he was fearful that it would be so, and that the results so far show that we had commenced reconstructing these dis loyal States too soon by at least four years ; that it was unreasonable to sup pose that these States would recognize or respect the Constitutional amendment abolishiug slavery, even if they were forced to ratify the sauie in order to se cure their return to the Uniou, after whiob eveut it was apparent from their past actions that the reign of terror existing iu tbe Southern States before the war would again be realized ; that these States cannot justly claim the same right to manage their own affairs as is awarded to Northern States ; that it is still more unreasonable to suppose tbat their representatives in Congress will be reconciled to tbe existence of the nation al debt, one of the chief instruments by which they were subjugated, and which tbey must assist to pay ; that judging from the past and from tbe disposition of the Southern people, disloyalty will increase in the South as long as an ex cuse is offered for it, more especially so when they infer ihey are to be still treated more magnanimously ? hence what have they to fear for promulgat ing treasou and torturing the negroes for sympathizing with the Union that tbe latter assisted to preserve; that otfi cers and soldiers who have sacrificed so much for our sacred cause are not recon ciled to th? immediate return of these disloyal States to tbe Union, headed by their treacherous leaders who can't l>e trusted, and who, with their Northern al lies, stand ready the moment they are in power to inflict a mortal stab iu the na tion's heart ; that with the copperhead party in power comee free trade, the re pudiation of the National debt, also tbe privilege to these disloyal States to defy the Government by re-enslaving the blacks, and, finally, that with the assia tance of a copperhead administration, they will be able to bring abou a final separation of the North and Sontb. [The above dispatch comes to ua'Vitb tbe very proper recommendation of the Agent of the Associated Press tbat it be read by the Editor before publication.? It is all bosh. We publish it, however, to show the extent of the Radical oppo sition to the President and the length to which misrepresentation can go. It ia sufficient to state that Governor Hold en has recently given an emphatic denial to the stories about the disloyalty of North Carolina.? Ed. Regwt**.] FROM WASHINGTON. The Military in Virginia.

Terry defines the term, during the war, to mean as long as a necessity tor a military force created by the rebellion shall continue to exist, and that necessity will continue until the States lately ih rebellion have re turned to their former relations to the National Government. While Gen. Ter ry appeals to the troops of his command not to sully their great aud well earned reputation by misconduct, he also re minds them of the existence of military law and gives t*iein to understand that crimes of desert iou and insubordination will be severely punished as if the troops were still engaged in active campaigns.

The Cleveland (Ohio) Herald gives the particulars of the shootiug on Tuesday last at Bedford, Ohio, of Miss Tamsoy Pasons by Dr. Hughes, to whom the Doc tor had, by means of false representa tions; been previously married. He was tried for bigamy aud sentenced to the penitentiary for a term of years, but after six months confinement he was pardoned aud released. Going back to Cleveland, he began to practice mediciue again and lead a looseand disreputable life On Tuesday last he hired a hackmau to convey him from Cleveland to the resi denco'of Mr Parsons, and succeeded in obtaining an interview with Miss Tain- 1 sey. Ho endeavored to prevail upon her to leave her home and go with him. but she positively refused to do so. wheu ho gave her a certain time in which to make up her mind, and left. About 2 o'clock iu the day he called at the residence of his intended victim aud met her in the back garden Approach ing her. he said: "Tarnsey, have you Diade np your mind to go ?'* She shook her head. Then the Doctor, pulling from his breast a little fonr-barr?lled revolver and with the words "Good bye. Tamsey ; wo shall meet again across the big wa ters," upon his lips, deliberately took aim, shooting her through the head His vic tim turned and reeled, and while falling, tho cold-blooded fiend fired again, tho second ball passing through her head, and hurriedly consigning lierto eternity. Having committed the murder, Hughes took to his carriage, but abandoned it for tho woods about five miles from Bed ford Officers and others were soon in hot pursuit, and it was not many hour* till he was taken The citizens of Bedford aud Newburg turned out en naase, joined bv several re turned soldiers, who were well aruied, in search of the prisoner Tbepartvdiv covered him lying down in a thick clump of brush Upon the approach of the pursuers he rose upon his knees and said he would surrender at once, hauding over the fatal instrument with which he com mitted the atrocious deed He stated to the officers who had him iu charge that he was fully cognizant of the penalty attached to his fearful crime Wheu an officer remarke'd to him, "Doc tor, this is a terrible crime you have ??een guilty of committing," he replied. "I am aware of it, but I have effected my ob ject. I came from Cleveland with the avowed purpose of killing her, and J have dene it." The deceased was a tiue-lookiug girl, about sixteen vears of age, aim much sympathy was expressed tor her while under arrest here. She had been aware that Hughes had been married before, bnt he deceived her by telling her that he had been divorced, aud that he would show her his divorce papers when he got to this city. She prevailed upon him to show these papers before their marriage, but he promised to satisfy her fully on the subject after her marriage, alleging that the papers were in bis trunk As soon as the ceremony was over, and an opportunity presented itself, she asked to see the papers, and being again "put off," she began to suspect that she bad been duped It was not long, however, ontil Hughes' villainy was toll? |eipos ed, and she returned home a sad and nn happy girl.
