Youthful Depravity.

--William Butler, the only son of a widowed mothers, was captured by the Clerk of the Second Market yesterday, and turned over to the proper authorities, on the charge of swindling a lady out of $5--This youth, not more than twelve years of age, has been a great annoyance at the market places for some time, and, with the hope of saving him from a worse fate, his mother has put him into the Confederate naval service; but his officers, heretofore, have been unable to keep him on board. Sprightly, active, intelligent, and fond of bad company, he should be looked to, before he becomes confirmed in crime.
