. 20th, 1862. On Saturday last, after frequent rumors that the Yankees were coming. Col Payne, the gallant commandant of the post, (who has been incapacitated from active duty since May last, on account of a terribly severe wound received at Williamsburg,) having obtained positive information that they were approaching Warrenton in considerable force, made every preparation in his power to receive them.--After fighting inch by inch for nearly ten miles, our pickets under command of Lieut. Bryan) reported to the commandant that the Yankees would probably attack the town about 3 o'clock in the evening. Accordingly, the gallant Colonel brought out every man he could get to give them a reception, and presented to the enemy at the commencement of the fight a force of about 300 men, including 50 infantry, composing a part of Company H, 61st Virginia, Capt. Wright, from Norfolk, and a few others, all under the command of Capt. Grayson Tyler, of Prince William, a brave young officer, w

d Mrs. Riley, in which she had used some harder arguments than more words. While this was progressing Leonard and Seymour entered, and her superior power of talking soon made it apparent that it was their bounden duty to help demolish Ryan, which they immediately proceeded to undertake, and with so much success that he was compelled to appeal to the police to arbitrate the master. The Mayor required the assailants to give security each in $300 to be of good behavior. The case of Riley vs. Bryan was dismissed. Thomas Bradford and James Carter were brought up for breaking a number of barbers' poles on Main street, Wednesday night, and otherwise conducting themselves in a way violative of good order and decency. Each was required to give $250 security not to repeat such conduct for one year. David Lambert, of Brook Avenue, was required to give security to be of good behavior on the charge of getting drunk and firing a pistol in one of the public streets. Hustings Court

removed in barges to Fort Johnson. The guns, which, for so many weeks had held the foe at bay, were double shotted, fired, and spiked; the heavier pieces were dismounted, and the carriages rendered worthless. The preliminary preparations being thus completed, the work of embarkation was noiselessly begun, and the brave men of the garrison, in forty barges, were soon gliding from the beach they had held so stoutly and so long. The evacuation was conducted by Col. Keith, assisted by Major Bryan, A. A. G., and the success with which what has always been considered one of the most difficult feats of warfare has been performed, is worthy of the highest praise. Batteries Gregg and Wagner had both been carefully mined, with a view to blowing them up. It was about one o'clock this morning when the last three boats — containing Col. Keith and a number of his officers — left the island. The slow match was lighted by Capt. Huguenin at Wagner, and by Capt. Lesesne at Gregg; but, owing t

By Mr. Duval: Of passing a law making it a penal offence for any person to sell meat, grain, vegetables, or any article of food for a higher price than that fixed by the Commissioners of the Confederate Government. By Mr. Bryan: Of constructing a bridge, as a military necessity, over the Cow pasture river, in the county of Bath, on the turnpike road leading from Millboro' Depot, on the Central Railroad, to the Warm Springs. By Mr. Morgan: Of requiring railroad companies to give receipts or checks for all baggage transported by them.

a part of Wofford's brigades were ordered to assault at daylight on the morning of the 29th of November. Through this rugged field of obstacles, before day, Bryan's brigade felt its way, with many a fall and many a bruise, yet quietly, uncomplainingly, the men followed the dark figure of their leader guiding us through the gted, waiting daylight. Each man pressed his cap more firmly down upon his blow, and with lips compressed and steadfast eye, waited for the word to move, whilst Gens. Bryan and Humphrey glided noiselessly through their commands, carefully examining the ground before them. All was quiet as the grave; suddenly the stillness was ny South reddened the field with their hearts' blood, whilst not a Yankee, that I could see, was stain! Oh! It was a sad sight to see those two old warriors--Generals Bryan and Humphrey--who essayed to speak to each other after the fight, but could not. They turned their heads and wept — yes, wept bitter tears to the memory of th

ame will long remain among us as a religious example for the living. The Baton Rouge correspondent of the Delta furnishes the following: The Confederates, numbering some two or three hundred cavalry, under the respective commands of Capt Bryan, Capt Henry Gentles and Capt Bob Pryme (all late residents of this town,) ambushed a squad of the 4th Wisconsin Cavalry, under Lieut Williams, whom they killed, and wounded one or two others. Two of Bryan's men were captured — Pughes and HoughBryan's men were captured — Pughes and Hough. Hughes had his horse killed, and therefore surrendered. The object of the raid was to pick up men and mules, (horses would not be objected to,) and we believe they were tolerably successful. They even came to open daylight, under the very nose of the videttes, and took mules and teams from Gen Bernard's plantation, now occupied by Goodale &Co, situated close to the city limits. The police reports are full of all kinds of small rascality. Two men had been arrested for shouting for Je
