Kicked by a Mule. --William Graves, an aged pilgrim from Charles City county, was arrested and taken before the Mayor for indulging in a drunken revel. He assured his Honor that he was more crippled than drunk, having been disabled by a kick from a mule, at Rocketts. He had made a start for Powhatan, and would leave the city at once, if permitted to do so. The Mayor read to him the act concerning vagrants and dissolute persons, reminded him of the dangers of the chain gang and a bread and water diet, and let him go.--The accused seemed to be a man of intelligence, and it is hoped he will profit by the admonition.

hmond, says: Some three weeks ago, a young man of genteel appearance arrived in this place, and registered at the Hewitt House as Albert L. Riddell, Louisville, Ky. He came amongst us for the purpose of collecting a sum of money due the legatees in the estate of Benjamin Estes, dec'd. While sojourning in our midst, he became very intimate with David Saunders Chilton, a young man who, up to that time, had always been an irreproachable character. On Thursday evening last the two young men left Liberty for the purpose of making a Western tour. When the news of their arrest reached this place, some of our merchants examined their money, and found that they had some of the "same stuff" D. S Chilton passed $20 to Wm. Graves &Co.; $20 to Evans & Co; $20 to J. M. Ragland, and $20 to Frank Bragason, which was afterwards redeemed by Riddell. J M. Ragland also received $10 from Riddell. We learn that a gentleman from Lynchburg was in Liberty on Tuesday last with $120 he had received.
