Milton Glasgow, the engineer of the train which met with an accident while conveying troops over the Orange and Alexandria Railroad, May 15th, has been discharged from custody. An individual of hitherto respectable standing was arrested the other day at Brock's Gap, near Harrisonburg, Va., for uttering disloyal sentiments; but was discharged after taking the oath of allegiance and giving security for his good behavior. A Washington letter published in a Northern paper says that nine of the Ohio Regiment, slain at Vienna, were buried in one grave on the 19th. They were found in the woods in which they took refuge. The New York Tribune, alluding to the manner in which the troops are fed at Washington, says ‘ "It is not strange that the young men say their belts have become really too large for them. "’ The Washington correspondent of the Philadelphia Inquirer says the troops on Arlington Heights are suffering terribly from the heat. Mr. N. R. Mendenhall, of the Leaman Rifles, 11th Mississippi Regiment, was married in Winchester, Va., on the 18th June, to Miss Louisa Victoria Wilden. The Fredericksburg News well says that ‘"the very readers who are clamorous for news are among the first to condemn the papers which publish everything!"’ Capt. A. S. Hamilton, of the Floyd (Ga.) Sharp Shooters, was married to Miss Sallie Bowen two hours before leaving home with his command for Virginia. The printer in Colonel Seems' Georgia regiment, now stationed near Brunswick, have established a journal called the ‘"Georgia Regimental Journal."’ That was a fearful joke of Lord Norbury's, in sentencing to death a thief who had stolen a watch: ‘"You made a grasp at time, my lad, but you clutched eternity!"’ It is stated that Mr. Wm. H. Russell, of the London Times, visited the Federal forces at Cairo on the 20th June, made a non-committed speech, and complimented the military. The daily issue of the Mobile Mercury is discontinued. The Mercury will henceforth be published once a week.
