night I sent several patrols towards Paris and the south, to scout the country and visit the pickets. Nothing transpired during the night. I have to observe that from the abovementioned bridge to Paris there will be found more open places where cavalry could charge. In the evening I received a visit from a neighboring farmer and leadins citizen, Major Porter, who seemed a little alarmed about our presence, and asked me the favor of extending my protection toward his widowed sister, Mrs. Dobson. I told him and all the countrymen present that I never would suffer my men to commit any depredation, and that we, the so-called Yankee troops, were in the country not to molest or harm the citizens, but to assist and protect the peaceable and loyal. Upon his special invitation I went with Major Porter to his lady sister, whom I assured in regard to the good conduct of our soldiers. I cannot complain about any of the people I met with. All showed themselves kind and friendly, but

Unclaimed goods. --Among the unclaimed goods stored in the Mayor's office, City Hail, we noticed yesterday three suspicious looking trunks, said to belong to Mrs. Dobson, lately sent on for perjury; one blue bed quilt of home manufacture; two faro tables, one made by Williams, of New York, and the other the product of the skill of some Richmond carpenter. These latter were seized at 149 and 151 Main street, and are to be burned. The trunks are said to contain evidence eneficial to the Cme Richmond carpenter. These latter were seized at 149 and 151 Main street, and are to be burned. The trunks are said to contain evidence eneficial to the Commonwealth — among other things a lot of money belonging to Mrs. Dobson. The large box in the North corner of the Mayor's office still remains a terra incognita to the uninitiated. The contributors are many; the receivers of its benefits are few. It is the receptacle of contraband pistols, and other articles "too numerous to mention."

Matters in Gloucester — Raid on the oyster craft. A gentleman from Gloucester on Friday last, gives as some information of the state of affairs in that county. The Yankee commander at Gloucester Point--Col. Davidson--had moved Mr. Dobson and his family from their residence and taken the building for his own headquarters. On Friday, the gunboat Chicora ran up York river and captured five oyster craft, and on Tuesday the Seth Lew chased four boats into Caffey's Creek, and captured them. She then went up to West Point and broke up the oystering establishment of Mr. Blessingham, who, they alleged, had "taken the oath," and violated it by trading with the rebels. The Chicora, which is commanded by Captain Parker, a native of Westmoreland county, Va., went up North river, into Mathews county, and a dingbeing made at Mr. Warner Taliaferro's, that gentleman's carriage was stolen and carried aboard She then went up East river, where a negro with his wife, came on board and asked
