Robbery. --Officer Crone, assisted by another member of the police arrested yesterday afternoon Robert Smiggs, Carter Winston, Geo. Quickly and Columbia Anderson, all free negroes, charged with stealing from John Boyan one uniform, live linen shirts, one pair of pants, four pairs of drawers, and divers other articles; amounting in value to about $800. The articles were found in the house of Spiggs, who is the proprietor of a kind of negro hotel. There were also found a large amount of Minie balls, of which no account could be given.

e and Stanardsville to Charlottesville. That he should have been permitted thus to turn our left flank is unquestionably a subject for just boast on his part, and much regret on ours. When within four miles of Charlottesville it is true that he surprised, not a cavalry camp, (for we had none at that point,) but an artillery camp. In the confusion which ensued they succeeded in blowing up one caisson. They called a halt to plunder a camp and whilst engaged in this delightful occupation Capt. Braith white placed his battery, of Stuart's horse artillery, hurriedly in position, and opened on the enemy with grape and canister. At the second fire the enemy fell back across the Rivanna river, the bridge over which, as well as the Rio Mille, situated on the edge of the stream at this point, they burnt. Major R F. Mason had also improvised supports made up of furloughed and convalescents from the hospitals, at Charlottesville, and these armed with sticks, and lock muskets, in conjunc

When Heth, however, reached the second ridge of hills west of Gettysburg, it became clear that there were infantry, artillery, and cavalry around the town. Braxton's battery, of Fredericksburg, Virginia, (formerly commanded by Maj. C. M. Braxton, of that town, a brave and accomplished officer, and now by Capt. Marye,) was placed in position, and a few shots were fired, scattering the enemy's cavalry videttMaj. C. M. Braxton, of that town, a brave and accomplished officer, and now by Capt.

This, be it remembered, was the opening of the ball. Ewell did not come into action until some time later in the day. The division was now within one and a half miles of Gettysburg, and was disposed as follows: Archer's brigade of Tennessean on the right of the turnpike, Davis's brigade of Mississippians, except one regiment, was in line on the left of the same road.

ade of Mississippians, except one regiment, was in line on the left of the same road. Pettigrew's N C brigade, and Heth's (old) Virginia brigade, under Col. John M. Brockenbrough, were hold in reserve. Archer and Davis were soon ordered to advance, in order to feel the enemy, make a forced reconnaissance, and determine what forcettysburg, the division was formed in line of battle on the right and left of the road, as follows: Archer's brigade on the right, Pettigrew in the centre, and Brockenbrough on the left centre, and Davis on the left. After the division had rested an hour or more it was again ordered forward, and soon encountered the enemy in heavybeing killed, and Lieut.-Col. Lane being severely wounded. The 11th also lost its Major, (Ross,) who was killed, whilst Col. Leventhorp was severely wounded. Brockenbrough's gallant Virginians were no idle spectators in these bloody scenes — they were emphatically heroes in the strife. Fighting with their usual gallantry and das
James Buchanan (search for this): article 8
scorching manifesto of Senator Pomeroy and his committee against Abraham Lincoln as a candidate for another term, and in favor of Mr. Chase for the succession, threatens, from present appearances, a rupture between the President and his ambitious Secretary. The spectacle of such a conflict for the Presidency is certainly a new thing under the sun, and somewhat discreditable withal to the belligerents. Not one of Mr. Lincoln's predecessors, excepting, perhaps, that imbecile old man, James Buchanan, would have tolerated for another day the presence of such a rival as Mr. Chase among his official subordinates after the discovery of such a declaration of war as this no quarter manifesto of Senator Pomercy. We are not surprised, therefore, to hear that the probabilities of a change or two in the Cabinet are beginning to be discussed among politicians at Washington. As between Mr. Lincoln and Mr. Chase, the Cabinet is now a nondescript with two heads, and it is doubtful which is or w

re in Chesapeake Bay of two Yankee steamers and a schooner, by a detachment of the Volunteer Navy, aided by Captain Fitzhugh, of the 5th Virginia cavalry, with fourteen men. The party left Mathews county on Friday, the 4th inst, and reaching the Eastern Shore that night, succeeded in capturing two steamers, one schooner, six Yankee wagons, ten horses, and also destroyed a large quantity of meat, bard bread, and other Government stores. Our forces burnt the schooner, bonded one of the steamers, and then came off in the other, bringing with them twenty-nine prisoners. When our force landed near Cherry stone, the Federal guard was surprised asleep, and informed that the Alabama was then at the wharf, and that they must march aboard, which order they promptly complied with. The following parties, taken from the steamer Than, reached this city yesterday, and were committed to Castle Thunder: Capt Reuben Shore, Jacob Jones James F Shore, Wm S. Shore, Charles Buchen, and James Enneth.

American affair's in Europe. British opinion of Mr. Adam's retention of Seward's Demand. [From the London Post (Governm't organ) Feb. 11] It appears that Mr. Seward's dispatch, which Lord Derby described as "peremptory, " and Sir Hugh Cairns as "peculiar," has never been delivered to Earl Russell, to whom it was addressed. In the exercise of a discretion which is also somewhat peculiar, Mr. Adams, it would seem, abstained from reading this document to the Foreign Secretary, and leaving with him a copy, as he was directed to do. The dispatch has been laid upon the table of Congress, but as it has not been communicated to Her Majesty's Government it could not be included in the papers laid before Parliament. Some curious member of the Federal Legislature may be able to elicit further information, but the Government of this country have, as we understand Earl Russell and Mr. Layard, no official knowledge of the existence of such a dispatch. There is a little mystery about the
