Provost Marshal's Office, Portsmouth, March 15, 1864 Rev Chas E. W Dobbs, Court Street Baptist Church: Sir — On Sunday last, at the reading of the prayer in the morning service for the President of the United States, Mrs Susan Williams, a member of the congregation, behaved in a very improper and disrespectful manner. Complaints were made at this office, and Mrs. Williams was arrested. She was released upon writing the enclosed humble apology, which you will please read from your pulpit for the benefit of the parties offended, and at the same time admonish the disloyal of your congregation that, hereafter, a mere apology will hot atone for so grave an offence as that committed by Mrs. Williams. Very respectfully,Your obedient servant, Daniel Messinger, Provost Marshal. Wherewith follows the poor woman's apology, that "she meant no disrespect to the minister who prayed, or to the President in authority, or to those in authority for whom he was praying."

ave got through with the rebellion, we will prove to the world that we have still left to us will and vigor enough to preserve the American continent free from the polluting tread of the myrmidons of foreign powers. The New Hampshire "Union Convention" has resolved in favor of "crushing the rebellion" and of Abraham Lincoln for the next Presidency. The war Democratic Committee of New York city, has passed resolutions laudatory of Secretary Stanton, and in favor of Lincoln for President and Daniel S Dickinson for Vice-President. The Reinforcement of Grant from the Southside. The following extract from a letter dated Fortress Monroe, the 30th, gives some further particulars of a movement which was already known to our authorities: It is no longer improper to speak of the important movements that have been progressing in this department during the past two days, as they are now fully accomplished.

Acquittal of Dr. McClure. --In Judge Halyburton's Court yesterday Dr. W McClure, the embalmer, was arraigned for trial on an indictment charging him with a misdemeanor and attempting to bribe Confederate detectives. When the case was called the counsel for the accused, Messrs R T Daniel and F W Hoblitzell, moved that the indictment be quashed, which was accordingly done by the Judge, and Maclure thereupon discharged. The law makes it a penal offence to offer a bribe to a judge or any person interested in the trial of a cause; but to attempt to buy order a Confederate detective, or other police officer, is not considered a crime. The long confinement which Maclure has endured has greatly reduced him in flesh, (though at best he was by no means very robust,) and on the street after his acquittal yesterday he was scarcely recognized by his most intimate acquaintances.

Scott, were arraigned on the very indefinite charge of ; but as the matter had not been fully worked up, it was continued till the 30th inst. About this case there is some involved, as from repeated application to the parties having it in hand, none of the particulars could be obtained. Robert, slave of Mary J. Phillips, and Daniel, slave of William Court, charged with stealing a piece of bacon from the Jackson Hospital, were ordered to be whipped. Similar punishment was inflicted upon Jim, slave of John Moore, and Mary and Nancy Lewis, free negroes, charged with receiving stolen money and a watch, the property of Minerva Jackson, knowing that such was the way in which the articles were obtained. A fine of twenty dollars was imposed upon James Simpson, charged with trading with a negro without a written from his

eralship; but the President still hesitates to give him more than a temporary appointment as such, which, as the oldest brigadier in the Army of Northern Virginia, he very properly declines; but his neglect in official circles has never cooled his patriotism or lessened his military ardor, as his victories will show. I will close by giving you a Yankee letter as a sample of what the people "down to hum" think of Grant, Gen Lee, and matters generally. Boston, June 17, 1864. Dear Daniel: This is a public day in Boston. The streets are full of people. It seems a new route is taken towards Richmond, which seems to be a hard place to find. I notice the army is below Fort Darling, and that is some distance below Richmond. More men will be called, and many have fallen, and many more are to follow. I am some anxious to know if you accept the offer I have made, so as to return if your life is saved until your term of service has expired. I thought Gen Grant might be

future day their exchange will give them a license to come and fight us again. In consideration of the enormity of the crimes of these raiders, their plundering, house burning and desolating the country generally, it would be in accordance with the rules of justice to make an example of them, even to the extremest mode of punishment; and at the same time fully in accordance with the rules of warfare which they have themselves inaugurated. Among the prisoners brought in on Friday was Col. Daniel J Crooks, of the 22d New York cavalry. Also, one representative of the Northern press, who gave the name of Ira B Van Gilden, reporter for the New York Times and Philadelphia Press. --Rather an abrupt termination to the career of a newspaper man, but it serves him right for being caught in such bad company.

hat county. Jerry Dunnavant and Lee Whitehurst, charged with stealing one breastpin from Lieut. Col. James Nelligan, were called up. On account of the inability of the Mayors to procure the attendance of Nelligan as a witness, he being with his command, the parties were discharged of the crime; but, in consideration of the previous bad character of Dunnavant, he was required to give security for his good behavior in future. Whitehurst was sentenced to the penitentiary on Friday, in Judge Lyons's Court, for forgery. The following cases were continued for reasons deemed satisfactory by his Honor: Daniel, slave of Andrew L. Ellett, charged with entering the dwelling house of Hammond Geering, on Friday morning, and stealing one barrel of French brandy, valued at $1,000, $400 in Confederate money, and a lot of groceries, Ben, slave of John H. Gentry, and Edgar, slave of James A. Scott, charged with felony. A fine was imposed upon Elenore Stack for obstructing the sidewalk.

Mayor's Court. --The following cases were before the Mayor yesterday: Daniel, slave of Andrew Ellett, Dick, slave of R T Alvey, and Malachi, slave of Mrs. Ann Mosby, were charged with breaking into the store of Hammond Gearing, on the corner of 3d and Baker streets, and stealing one barrel of French brandy, valued at $1,000, a large quantity of bacon, candles, &c., valued at $2,000, and $400 in Confederate money. The robbery occurred on Saturday morning about one o'clock, and Gearing being aroused from his sleep by the noise which they made in the store jumped out of bed and pursued them through the back way of his premises into the street, firing twice at them as they ran, while they wheeled and fired three shots at him in return. The report of the pistols and Gearing's cries of "thief," "fire," "murder," &c, soon waked up the most of the neighbors and many of them turned out to investigate the matter. Capt. Wm E. Foster, residing one square above the scene of the robber
