es living in Fluvanna county, and not being present. William Pitts, who was found by one of the watchmen in the street, about half-past 2 o'clock Sunday morning, in a suspicious attitude, and who had on his person a chisel, was committed in default of security for his good behavior. Thomas Alexander, a young white man, an operative in one of the numerous machine shops about Richmond, was arraigned for stealing from Charles Dekab a shawl, worth $30, at the Franklin House, kept by Mrs. Crouch, near the Old Market. The testimony against the prisoner was wholly circumstantial, but very strong. He was seen by two witnesses to go out of the house down the street with a shawl that did not belong to the man he said he borrowed it from, and he returned in ten minutes without it. A hue and cry had been raised by Dekab in the meantime. His Honor said he had better produce the shawl he wore down the street, and thus clear his skirts of the imputation of theft. To give him time to ge

e Mayor both as soldiers and musicians. Gen. Hooker can get a serenade or reveille whenever he chooses from several bands of Mississippians and others here, who will let him hear the music of their rifles and the roar of their artillery as soon or late as he is ready for the racket. In this connection, let me say that the music I heard at the last performance by the "Barksdale Thesptans and Europeans." at which Prof. Nutting's Band and the Glee Club of the Richmond Howitzers, led by Prof. Crouch, performed, was as exquisite as any I ever listened to. I did not hear at all, but one piece reminded me of Tennyson's. "Music, that gentler on the spirit lies Than tired eyelids upon tired eyes." And another was soul-stirring, as Comus says. "to create a soul under the ribs of death. " The army and the audience appreciate the high standard they have introduced in their entertainments. The afterpiece.--"The Recruit"--I did not hear, but understand that Briley and his fello

List words of a Texas Parson. --The correspondent of the Mobile (Ala.) Advertiser, "N'Imports," writing from the army of Middle Tennessee, says that, at the Spring Hill engagement, "Parson Crouch. Brigade Captain of Jackson, was killed while cheering on the Texans to a charge, and as his last words are somewhat unusual and remarkable, I give them: "Give them hell boys, for your sweethearts and our God."

Mayor's Court. --The cases before the Mayer yesterday were few in number and of very trivial character. His Honor was not long in disposing of them. Henry Crourth was summoned to show cause why he should not be fined for permitting a cord of wood to remain in the street in front of his residence for several days just. Crouch acknowledged the existence of the nuisance, but denied that it belonged to him. The Mayor then ordered his officers to have the wood hauled away and sold for the benefit of the city treasury, if no owner could be found for it. A white man, named Andrew J. Sheppard, was made to pay a fine of $1 as a punishment for indulging too freely in "read-eye" whiskey, and trespassing upon the premises of J. Dooley. A soldier, named Thomas Boister, arraigned for drunkenness and interfering with persons in the street, was sent to the Provost Marshal under an escort of one of the Mayer's police. A does of twenty lashes was ordered to be bestowed upon t

Owing to the absence of witnesses the Mayor postponed taking up the charge preferred against Fanny, slave of Samuel Skinner, and Abby, slave of Mary Voss, the first with stealing and the latter with receiving one bond for the payment of $100 due from the Confederate States, and three twenty-five cent pieces, from Mrs. Pemberton. James Roach, August Haffner, and --Crouch, youths, were charged with stealing a splendid cloth cloak from the Rev. Mrs. T. V. Moore on Saturday last. The evidence proved the accusation against them, and they were therefore remanded to the Hustings Court for further examination. Jordan Miller was also sent on to the grand jury for indictment on the charge of receiving said cloak, knowing it to have been stolen. On Saturday last a lot of writing paper was stolen from the office of the Commissary General, located on Main, betwee

These were drunk by them, and afterwards a young man named Crouch gave the bar-keeper money to pay for them. Crouch was then sworn. He denied the charge that what the gentlemen alluded to were drinking was liquor, but said that it was soda water.--Since the passage of the anti-liquor law by the last LegislatuCrouch was then sworn. He denied the charge that what the gentlemen alluded to were drinking was liquor, but said that it was soda water.--Since the passage of the anti-liquor law by the last Legislature he had never taken a drink of whiskey or other intoxicating liquor in McGee's house, nor had he seen any one else take any. John Ford was charged with stealing one hundred dollars from Patrick H. Seymour, on the 20th of last September. Mr. Seymour testified that about that time Ford came into his store and purchased a pack of playing cards for four dollars, presenting a hundred dollar note in payment.
