Cincinnati Daily Press

A lady recently escaped from Virginia tells us that on the occasion of an alarm among the rebels in the town where she was residing, from a report that the Union troops were coming through the town, the amiable old Secession ladies poisoned their preserves and other nice things, and when the rumor proved false, they felt a little sorry, no doubt, as the preserves were all gone "for nix." The same lady says that there was not one yard of calico, and but one hoop skirt for sale in the town! What wonder that all the women were savage at Lincoln, as they never take the trouble to think that he was not to blame, if the people chose to make him President, and that Jeff Davis & Co had no more provocation to kick out of the traces when he was elected than before.
