The latest intelligence brought by a gentleman who yesterday morning left a point in New Kent, 22 miles from Richmond, confirms the report that there are no troops as high as that. The marauders who are in New Kent and vicinity were negro cavalry. They captured Mr. Ball, a citizen, and carried him off. They also visited Rural Shades, and destroyed the dwelling-house there. The residence of Theodore Lacy was burnt, and the dwelling of Allen Rome, in Gloucester, was also destroyed. Burning of a Railroad bridge.

Although we have a well authenticated report that the Yankees have withdrawn their forces from Gloucester county, they have not altogether ceased their annoyances and depredation upon the people. On a recent occasion a party landed at Cappadocia wharf, and proceeded after midnight to the residences of Jefferson Stubbs, Mr. Barron, and Jefferson Hughes, and took those gentlemen prisoners. Mr. Barron, being roused up at the dead of night, properly determined upon an effort to defend h

d, near Bermuda Hundred, on Thursday. There were also two deserters, who came in to claim the privileges guaranteed in General Orders No. 65. The affair in which these men were captured was the one which we yesterday located near Chester station. Its object was only to feel the enemy's strength, which was satisfactorily accomplished, the Yankees being found in considerable force behind their works. Our loss was about thirty. The lines of battle were not engaged. It is stated that the Yankee Commanding General has established his headquarters at the Yellow Tavern, six miles from Petersburg, and about the centre of the fortified position on the Weldon railroad. From York river. We have a report that the enemy, who lately evacuated Gloucester Point has again appeared there in considerable force. The object of this movement is probably to rob the defenceless people of Gloucester, who have heretofore been subjected to all manner of outrage at the hands of the Yankees.

sioners had appointed forty-three agents, and the names of the agents, the amount of their bond, and the amounts paid out to and by them, were all given in detail and read to the House. The consideration of the bill was then resumed. The order of the House requiring that the vote on the passage of the bill should be taken at thirty-two minutes past 1 o'clock, the expiration of one hour after the commencement of its consideration of the bill this day, was enforced. The Senate substitute for the House bill was then adopted, and the vote being taken on its passage, the vote stood — ayes, 89; noes, 26. So the bill passed. The report of the Joint Committee in favor of the enlistment of Virginia slaves as soldiers, under certain restrictions, by the Confederate Government, Virginia consenting, was taken up as the second special order. Pending its discussion, Mr. Jones, of Gloucester, moved that the House go into secret session upon the report, and the House closed its doors.

In his remarks on Friday night, on the convention bill, he was represented as saying that Virginia, like a "shooting star," was about to leave the Southern Confederacy and re-appear among the disturbed Northern constellation. He said no such thing. He generally dealt in plain speech when he said anything at all, and the language attributed to him was gratuitous on the part of the reporter.

The bill to increase the pay of the Commonwealth's attorney of Henrico county to fifteen hundred dollars and the pay of the attorney of the Circuit Court of Richmond to five thousand dollars, was taken up on the motion of Mr. English, and ordered to its engrossment. After some other business, the House went into secret session upon the motion of Mr. Jones, of Gloucester; and when the doors re-opened, at 3 P. M., adjourned.
