ere they plundered the town and citizens. Captain Dickison had encamped at Waldo, but the raiders having cut the telegraph wires and torn up the railroad track, no communication could be held with the Confederate forces at and near Lake City. At sundown, Captain Rou with a detachment of his company, Second Florida cavalry, came up to Waldo and reported the enemy at Starke. They remained there but a short time and moved on, flanking Dickison's command about 10 miles below. Just at dark Mr. Boulware and Dr. McCrea came with haste to our headquarters, reporting the enemy in large force at their plantations, burning Boulware's mill, gin house and other buildings, with about 60 bales of cotton. Captain Dickison immediately prepared to follow them with about 130 cavalry: Company H, about 25 of Captain Starke's company from the Fifth battalion of cavalry, and one section of artillery under command of Lieutenant Bruton, about 90 infantry, new recruits who had reported to Captain Dickison

m his widow. A Richmond friend of Mrs. General Pickett recently wrote to her, making an inquiry as to how her husband received his cadetship appointment. She answered that General Pickett was appointed by Congressman John G. Stuart, of the Third Illinois District, and she explained that Mr. Lincoln induced Stuart to make the appointment. Mr. Lincoln was then associated in the practice of the law with young Pickett's uncle, Mr. Andrew Johnston, who was later of the firm of Johnston, Boulware and Williams, of Richmond. Mr. Johnston, who has been dead for a number of years, was a great and good man, and was highly esteemed by the President, who, it is said, desired him to become Governor of this State, to guide it in its return to the Union. After giving her friend the information sought, Mrs. Pickett goes on to say: I have before me a letter from Mr. Lincoln, dated February 22d, Springfield, Ill., which, though a private letter, bespeaks his superlative greatness, his accu

part of the people. The subject is not a dry one, even for a newspaper man, yet want of space compels us to dismiss it with the remark that the river yesterday experienced a collapse sufficient to lower its surface eight feet. The effects of the present freshet have been particularly disastrous on the South side of the river, opposite Richmond. The valuable and highly cultivated lands lying on its margin are now all overflowed, the dykes constructed for the especial purpose of keeping the tides out having given away under the heavy pressure, and the angry flood now cover thousands of acres of the very best land the lower Virginia, entirely destroying the crops, and destroying all chance for pitching a crop there this year. The low-lands of the following gentlemen in Chesterfield have been flooded, viz: J. B. Jones, T. V. Burgess, Henry Cox, Dr. John Howlett, the Messrs. Friend, Boulware, Fenoley, Gregory, Willis, A. H. Drewry, and others. The destruction of crops will be heavy.

e great Burnside armada is to commence its operations against Richmond. On Wednesday ten gunboats and three transports ascended the Rappahannock river as far as Boulware's ferry, ten miles below Tappahannock, Essex county. They were accompanied by a machine known as the "devil," which was employed in fishing for torpedoes. At BBoulware's ferry they landed some three hundred men, and are evidently making preparations for the landing of a considerable force. Information gathered from another source, deemed reliable, however, states that a large number of transports, filled with troops, were lying off the mouth of the river on Wednesday morning.

a matter of doubt. It also repeals the law providing a staff for the general assigned to duty at Richmond. General Bragg now holds the position referred to. The bill has not, as yet, been approved by the President. The other measure is the resolution recommending the assignment of General Joseph E. Johnston to the command of the Army of Tennessee. Five hundred returned Confederate prisoners, who arrived at Varina on Friday, reached the city last night on our flag-of-truce boat from Boulware's landing. By the same boat, Mr. Francis P. Blair, Sr., peace commissioner, returned to this city. Nothing has transpired as to the objects of his mission; but of course it has reference to peace negotiations, and this has grown out of his former visit. He is a guest of Captain Hatch, at the residence of the latter, corner of Fourth and Leigh streets. The Hon. H. S. Foote, of Tennessee, left the city yesterday morning by the Fredericksburg train, en route for Prince George county
