as afterwards ascertained, had greatly hastened the departure of the first party. Upon the arrival of the gunboat an officer came ashore, who proved to be Major Clancey, of one of the New York regiments now stationed at Old Point. He promptly inquired what had been the proceedings of his predecessors, and expressed great surpunauthorized, and directed the release of Mr. Whitfield, who, true to his promise, was on the wharf, carpet bag in hand, and ready to sail for Fortress Monroe. Major Clancey declared that the United States desired no man to take an oath of allegiance to its Government and that those who had taken it in Smithfield might consider thedwelling, which had been deserted by all its white occupants, and stole two gold watches, several pieces of plate, and every other article of value in it. Major Clancey may profess great devotion to law and order, and endeavor to lull the people residing near the river into a sense of security, but we would advise them not to

ned out, however, to meet the vessel, and just as she neared the wharf the Confederate flag was lowered, and the old "Stars and Stripes" run up in its place. Having made fast, the party landed, and meeting with a solitary contraband on the wharf, inquired if the place was deserted. "Mighty near, sir," was darkie's response. They then asked the negro for the residence of the Mayor, and commanded him to pilot them to the spot. Headed by a Yankee officer, of the rank of Captain, named Drake Dekay, and attached to General Mansfield's staff at Newport News, the party, about forty in number, started towards the residence of the Mayor, following the lead of the sable pioneer, who they had pressed into service. Upon reaching the house it was ascertained that the Mayor was absent, but the servants were made to open the building, and told to prepare refreshments instantly, as they had no idea of leaving until after dinner. In the meantime, some three or four gentlemen who had been watc

His trial was in process when they received the demand, and the authorities at Richmond informed the committee sent by Gov. Clark that there were a few more witnesses to appear in the case, and they desired to complete the trial. The committee info be taken out of the State. In connection with this matter, we also learn that J. Davis, a few days since, ordered Gov. Clark to furnish them with all the meant of transportation and defence possible, to aid him in the passage to and through the cotton States, and also for additional troops. Gov. Clark, backed by the Convention, informed him that he had received all the aid from North Carolina that he could expect, and that hereafter no more troops would be permitted to leave the State, and has ordered all the North Carolina State troops home. Gov. Clark informed the rebels that they could use the railroads in retreating home wards, and that they would run their own risk of being intercepted by a Union force at any part of the St

th surly sentinels, nor to swell his staff with a set of gay butterflies, in the share of volunteer aids de-camp, whose business it is to ride fine horses, return curt answers to respectful inquiries, make as much fuss as possible, and render, themselves generally disreputable and ridiculous. He is accessible to all, and has a kind and respectful-word for every one. And yet he is fierce and energetic, and has unlimited influence over his men, who would gladly follow him to the death. Hallack sent a message to Gen. Price a short time since, by a gentleman who was passing the lines. "Tell Gen. Price," he said, "that he had the advantage of me in Missouri for he knew the country better than I did but I have got him now where I want him, and expect to capture him and whip his army soon." "When you go back," was Price's reply, "say to Gen. Halleck that he has not men enough in his army to capture me. And as to whipping my boys, tell him he may select 100 of the best men in his whol

om the fact of Scott's crossing into rivers on frail flats, and leaving them in the rear whilst he attacked five times the number of his force. The rejoicing of the people of Athens and the vicinity was great. The ladies turned out in great crowds and presented Col. Scott with a Confederate flag. The real State of the case. The Wilmington Journal, of Tuesday last, publishes an article designed to show how private property and private rights are respected: Last week Mr. Jas. K. Hatton, of Washington, N. C., was arrested in his own house, torn from his wife and children, lied like a dog, and thrust into a jail. A gentleman named Stanly was also tied and carried off to jail, together with his son. A gentleman in Hyde county has also been imprisoned for refusing to take the Lincoln oath. A guard of soldiers has been placed over the house of Mr. James R. Grist, who is thus a prisoner in his own house. It is said that Mr. Wm. Grist is in jail, but this is only a repor

ances was he to leave Smithfield. He replied that he had a sick wife about 20 miles distant, and that all the powers of earth could not prevent him from visiting her. They then agreed that he might visit his wife, but positively enjoined upon him not to go one mile further. The house of the Mayor was rummaged and pillaged of every article of value, and a bountiful repast partaken of, cooked from provisions found in the building. A party wandered off to the store of Messrs. Thomas & Adams, broke it open, and stole many articles of value. All the liquor found was seized, and buckets stolen from the store in which they carried it off. Having complete possession of the place, the marauders did as they pleased and stole what they liked. They were armed with pistols and cutlasses, and no resistance whatever was offered by the few gentlemen who remained in the village. When they were about to leave, Mr. White field asked the privilege of going to his office to arrange some m

for our beloved country. We obtain the news by way of Washington, and direct from Raleigh. The arrest of Mayor Respass, of Washington, N. C., who was seized in the night time in the most summary manner and hurried off to Richmond in irons, is creating a most intense excitement in the State. The Governor of the State, (who is not in prison as reported) reached by the Convention, sent a peremptory demand to the Richmond authorities for the immediate delivery of its persons of Mayor Rearras, who was kept in close confinement. His trial was in process when they received the demand, and the authorities at Richmond informed the committee sent by Gov. Clark that there were a few more witnesses to appear in the case, and they desired to complete the trial. The committee informed the authorities at Richmond that the person of the Mayor must be given up forthwith, otherwise North Carolina would send a force to back up the demand of the Convention. Mr. Respass was delivered over

Yankee account of the exploit, which comes to us in the Northern journals under date of Louisville, May 11: One hundred and fifty of Morgan's cavalry at noon to-day captured forty-eight freight and four passenger cars and two locomotives at Cave City, Ky. Morgan supposed the train would contain 248 cavalry prisoners, bound northward. The operator at Cave City, however, gave notice of these facts to Bowling Green, and stopped the upward train. Among the captured Unionists were Majors Helvetii and Coffee, both of Welford's cavalry, and one other Union officer and three or four soldiers. The rebels burned all the above cars, except two, and the locomotive, which brought the passengers back to Louisville. Scott's Louisiana Cavalry. We have published several notices of the gallant band under the command of Scott, a partisan leader, who bids fair to equal Morgan in the boldness of his movements.

here, the Federals in Arkansas will take the back track. Except the boast of occupying the Capital of the State, there is nothing to induce them to come here. All the stores and army supplies have long since been removed. There is not enough meat or bread stuff here to feed the people, much less an army. Since the above was written, we learn they have advanced to Searcy, in White county, where they will probably wait until supplies come up White river, or until they are reinforced. Searcy is distant fifty miles from Little Rock. Missouri matters. Persons directly from Missouri (says the Little Rock True Democrat of the 8th inst.) tell us that the war is raging fiercely in the Southwestern portion of that State, and in Kansas McBride fought the enemy for three days at Cassville, and finally whipped them. This is something more than a skirmish, as there were four or five thousand of the enemy and some twenty-five hundred patriots engaged. The former were reinforced a
