d to prove one of the most important, events of the war. It seems to be the first in a projected series of operations, which there is every reason to believe will result most beneficially to the cause of the Confederacy. What those projected operations may be, we cannot even conjecture, and we only presume that they are to be, because Gen. Lee is not the man to indulge in isolated enterprises, having no bearing upon the grand object of the campaign. The actual tangible fruits are very great. Fifty cannon, three miles (so reported) of wagons, large numbers of cattle, cows, and mules, and 9,000 prisoners, including 2,000 captured by General Edward Johnson. The enemy behaved exactly as might have been expected of such wretches. They proved in plain terms to be arrant cowards. Placed behind strong fortifications, they only stood their ground long enough to kill and wound 100 of our men.--Oppressors are almost always cowards, and these were oppressors of the most brutal description.

The Situation. The Grecian superstition with regard to the Theme, or supernatural voice, is familiar to every man at all acquainted with Grecian literature. It was nothing more than that unaccountable inspiration (if it be allowable to use the word in that sense) by which a highly wrought community is enabled to anticipate the common vehicles of intelligence when great events are on the wing. The Theme played an important part in the history of Greece on an occasion mentioned by Herodotus. The battles of Platœa and Mycale were fought on the same day — the first in the morning, the last in the evening — the former in Bolotia, the latter in lonia — the distance between them being at least one thousand miles. As the Greeks at Mycale were about to join battle a herald's staff was found on the beach, and the Phene proclaimed among the host, who were previously somewhat dispirited at sight of the enemy's numbers, that the great Persian army had been destroyed at Platœs that morning

de of Riley. Between the hours of 4 and 5 o'clock Tuesday morning Mrs. A. awoke, to find that the prisoners were leaving the premises. On getting up, Mrs. A. found that her pocket had been robbed of Riley's money, as well as her own, and, informing R. of that fact, he, too, discovered that one of his boots, which contained $620 and a gold watch, had been drawn from his foot, and that all his valuables had been abstracted. After a fruitless search for the prisoners that day, Riley came up with them that night, and, getting the assistance of watchman Burton, had them both arrested and locked up. On searching the persons of the accused parties $191,90 ware found concealed in Burns's under-clothing, which he said had been paid him the Confederate service, as he could prove; but on McDonald nothing was found. Both prisoners deny all knowledge of the money, except that they saw Mrs. Anaker take it from Riley and deposit it in her own pocket. The examination was continued until to-day.
