Capture of a Rochester Lady.

By referring to our telegraphic despatches, it will be seen, says the
Rochester 'Express,' that a Mrs Curtiss, of Rochester, was taken prisoner by
the secession cavalry.

We learn from Mr Horace Bryan, who left Fort Bennett, where the 13th is
now stationed, Sunday morning, that the lady mentioned is a Mrs Curtiss, of
Albion, who has a brother in the Brockport volunteer company, and whom she
was visiting.

Mrs C., and another lady, together with private Eldridge, of the
Dansville company, awent out riding beyond the lines and were taken
prisoners by the secession cavalry.
