ican war, but the call on our State was filled before the company was fully organized, and we were not received. Then, in my nineteenth year, when recruits were called for to fill up the ranks of the Second Mississippi regiment, I volunteered, went to Mexico, remained in the service until the close of the war, and was mustered out of service with the balance of my regiment at Vicksburg, Mississippi, in July, 1848, having been a soldier nine months and five days. I was a private in Captain Alex. Jackson's company, of the Second Mississippi regiment. This regiment was first commanded by Colonel Reuben Davis, but when I was with it, it was commanded by Colonel Charles Black, who was in the late war a while as brigadier-general in the Confederate army, and afterwards Governor of Mississippi. I was not in any battle in the Mexican war, as our regiment was never engaged. The regiment was well drilled, and was kept under good discipline; and here I formed a taste for military disciplin

Mayor's Court. --There were but five criminal causes before the Mayor yesterday morning, and they were very trivial. We make brief mention of them: William Gray, a free negro with Amelia papers, and also with a pass, was ordered twenty-five lashes for being drunk and disorderly in the street --Margaret Lynch, charged with being drunk and trespassing on Dr. Boldeman, was committed in default of bail for her better behavior.--Junius Guilty, arrested for being drunk in the street, was reprimanded and discharged.--Alex. Jackson, a free negro, for using abusive language to Mary Brooks, was sentenced to the lash.--Joseph Mann, for selling liquor without a license, asked an obtained a continuance.

n Priddy, committed a few days ago on the charge of going at large, was ordered by the Mayor to be discharged from jail. Thomas McBride, arrested for drunkenness and disorderly conduct on Main street, was admonished and discharged Alexander Jackson, a free negro, who used to frequent in the neighborhood of the Second Market, and be a standing reliance for the police whenever business was dull, was brought up for disguising himself with liquor, Tuesday, and acting disorderly on Broad street. Several years since it was computed by the police that Jackson had received over 900 lashes, through their agency, for various petty offences. To-day he was only put in jail for want of security for his good behavior, and enrolled as a member of the chain-gang. John McMahon was committed for examination on the 20th on the charge of making a violent physical demonstration against Bridget McMahon, his wife John H. Houke gave bail for the appearance of his slave. Rosetta Carter,

Latest.--We made repeated inquiries yesterday and last evening, from everybody likely to know, but could get no information explanatory of the heavy firing heard in the direction of Shirley Saturday morning. Several persons residing in the vicinity of the river, report heavy firing heard again yesterday, but whether from contending forces or the enemy's gunboats, we have been unable to learn. Four more prisoners were brought in yesterday, and consigned to the Petersburg jail. Alexander Jackson and Wm. Suther were brought in during the forenoon. They are from McClellan's command, but we could not learn the name of the company or regiment to which they were attached. Richard Becket and James Sayer, of Company K, First Ohio Artillery, were brought in yesterday afternoon. These men state that they left McClellan's Army Saturday night. They say his headquarters are at Westover, and that he still has an effective force at Berkeley, is in a strong position, and anxious to fight.

her they have drawn back again to the main line of defences, hear the rebel capital, there to await the onset of McClellan, we are quite in the dark. We should judge that the latter would be their policy, and that they would have carried it out just as rapidly as possible.--They cannot cross the Chickahominy; they cannot operate on the York river, or anywhere north or east of it; and so, perhaps, leaving a small force for the sake of show, and to give themselves assurance of a victory won, Jackson at once hastened in the direction of the beleaguered capital. Jackson's name and army would be a tower of strength there at present, crowned as he is with the laurels of the Shenandoah, and followed by fifty thousand of the best troops in Jeff. Davis's service. All these rebel masses, however, cannot avail for the defence of Richmond when once our gunboats shall have passed Fort Darling and the rebel obstructions in the river. When they reach the town, its surrender is certain; the most

Death of a negro. --The notorious free negro desperado, Alexander Jackson, fell dead on Thursday last while passing along Duval street. During his life he was arrested and punished oftener for police offences than any other human being that ever resided in Virginia.
