nia newspapers have recently noted the passage through this city of a notorious Abolition incendiary, calling himself Wm. H. Hurlbut, for many years one of the editors of that despicable sheet, the New York Times. Hurlbut registered himself while heHurlbut registered himself while here and from Charleston, S. C., and was evidently, from his antecedents, on a crusade devising new expedients to please his Black Republican employees, by misrepresenting the South and decrying her institutions, as he had done in years past on both should no doubt be speedily made to pay the penalty of his numerous crimes by the forfeiture of his worthless existence. Hurlbut claims to be a native of South Carolina, but the general supposition is that she was from home the night he made his entnded him over to the Governor, who sent him to jail. He will no doubt have an examination to-day. We learn that if Hurlbut escapes justice in Virginia, there is now a warrant here for his arrest, issued by Judge Gilchrist, of Charleston, S. C.

In Duress. --We made a number of inquiries yesterday as to the disposition intended to be made of the man Wm. H. Hurlbut, whose arrest at Atlanta, Ga., and subsequently removal to this city, was mentioned in yesterday's paper. We could, however, get hold of nothing definite. If any examination was held it was not concluded which, in his case, is the extensive establishment on the hill southeast of Hollywood Cemetery. The public seemed to be fully impressed with the conviction that Hurlbut's detention is a measure eminently tending toward the security of the rights and interests of the Confederate States, which have been and are seriously embarrassed by the presence and machinations of spies and traitors who have too long gone unwhipped of that equal and exact justice which is their due. If Hurlbut does, by his superior cunning, effect his liberation, the people will jealously scrutinize the agencies by which such a result may be produced, and it will be done with no friendly

Habeas corpus. --A lawyer (Mr. Crane) sued out on Saturday, in behalf of William H. Hurlbut, now in jail at this place on suspicion of being a spy, a writ of habeas carpus. We learn that Judge Lyons, of the Hustings Court, was first applied to, but refused to grant the writ. Afterwards it was obtained from Judge Meredith, of the Richmond Circuit Court, who affixed 10 o'clock to-day as the time for the merits of the application to be examined into. It is said that there is no likelihood o Judge Lyons, of the Hustings Court, was first applied to, but refused to grant the writ. Afterwards it was obtained from Judge Meredith, of the Richmond Circuit Court, who affixed 10 o'clock to-day as the time for the merits of the application to be examined into. It is said that there is no likelihood of the release of Hurlbut by the Judge, as the prisoner is in Richmond merely in transites for Charleston, S. C., where his presence is demanded to answer certain offences against the State.

Portrait of Hartbut. --The spy, Wm. H. Hurlbut, whose unsuccessful attempt to get released from the clutches of the law in this city is noticed elsewhere is sketched by Wm. S. Bassford "as a bold, audacious man, a bitter enemy of the South and her institutions, an Abolition writer known to the North and to Europe for the past twelve years, and a wholesale slanderer of Southern men. In person and manners, he has all the appearance of a gentleman. He is a fine scholar, a man of very superior talents and accomplishments, and of very insinuating address — all of which, taken into consideration, makes him far more dangerous than an ordinary man would be." It is not likely he will be afforded an opportunity to become dangerous for some time to come, as, when he leaves Richmond, he goes to Charleston, S. C.

Wm. H. Hurlbut. --This person, who is charged with hostility to the Government, is still in confinement in this city. A considerable number of people are under the impression that nothing will be gained by keeping him here. It is rumored that he will soon be released. No harm would result therefrom were he conveyed out of the Jurisdiction of the Confederate States. His disposal is in the hands of Hon. R. M. T. Hunter, Secretary of State.
