nd no precaution will be neglected to assert our independence of our Yankee brethren (!) in reference to this commodity. The detachments in this county are all snugly in their winter quarters, and prepared to pass the season in comparative comfort. There exist but little sickness in the hospitals, and all seem to be buoyant and cheerful. Gen. Pemberton, recently in command here, has been ordered South--I believe to South Carolina. I have heard both Cols. Pryor, of the 3d Va., and Daniel, of the 4th N. C. regiment both are now stationed in this county-- suggested as his successor.--Either would doubtless make an efficient chief of a brigade. Another draft for local purposes will probably soon be made, as the term of those now in service will soon expire. One for the same object was made last week in Nansemond.--Much disaffection is manifested, especially by the volunteers, with the ordinance recently adopted by the Convention for the reorganization of the militia.

, states "that John Hagan, on 2d of January, in said city, (of Richmond,) feloniously by false pretences, then and there made by him to one James Evans; that he, the said John Hagan, was then and there a public officer, authorized by law to procure free negroes to work on the batteries and fortifications then being erected for the defence of the city of Richmond, and to accept substitutes to work in the place of the said free negroes, and to compound with said free negroes for their labor on said batteries and fortifications, by receiving money from them in place of said labor, did obtain from the said James Evans the sum of forty dollars with intent to defraud." The evidence in this case has been given pretty fully heretofore, and we do not deem it necessary to reproduce it. A portion only was heard yesterday, the Court adjourning after a partial examination, until this morning. Colonel James Lyons and Mr. John S. Caskie appeared for Mr. Hagan; Mr. Daniel for the Commonwealth.

re Aldermen Caskie, Bray, Anderson, and Clopton, stating as an examining court yesterday in the Sergeant's office, City Hall, charged with robbing Ambrose Barrett, a resident of Chester field, of his pocket book, containing $107 and seventy cents worth of portage stamps, on the 17th day of February. The evidence showed that the robbery was effected at Ford's drinking house, corner Cary and Virginia streets, in a very bold and audacious manner, the prisoner seizing the money of Barrett as that individual was counting it, though he was prevented from carrying it off by a prompt arrest. His only excuse was, that on the night previous to his own flagitious attempt on Barrett's funds he had been robbed, and he thought he might as well get even by robbing somebody himself. Mr. Daniel, the Commonwealth's Attorney, conducted the prosecution, and the accused was defended by Mr. G. Dabney Wootton. The accused was sent to jail for final trial before Judge Lyons, on the 3d Monday in May next.

South Carolina, a highly respectable old gentleman by the name of Daniel Lary, now verging on his three score years and ten, who has had the good fortune to raise and educate eight (8) hate and hearty sons — men of strong constitutions and fine physical powers, and much esteemed for their intelligence and high toned character. Their average weight is, at least, 175 lbs. When Lincoln was elected President these eight (8) sons resided respectively as follows: Wm. M. Larey, in South Carolina; Daniel C. and Joseph W., in Florida; Samuel C. and Peter H., in Georgia; Henry M., in Alabama; George F., in California, and Jacob A. Larey, in Kansas. At the first call for volunteers, each and every one of these brave sons rallied under the nearest Southern banner to be found. "To offer all of his sons at once upon the altar of his country, was truly a sore trial to the feelings and affections of an aged father; but, with a patriotism as lofty, a soul as magnanimous as the cause was good an
