rborn and James Kirk. [A large number of Ordinary keepers have not renewed their licenses, and the Court sits to-day for the purpose of renewing them.] The case of Elijah, slave of Stephen Hunter, for burglary, in breaking open Jas. H. Beagleston's store-house, and stealing $300 worth of groceries, was continued until the next term. E. Beathy was tried for misdemeanor. The jury failed to agree and were discharged.

"Johnson & Browning's Yankee Traveller." We are constantly receiving letters from various parts of the State as to the agents of this notorious concern. One of them, (we learn from a letter now before us,) calling himself H. M. Smith, and professing to be an agent for the above house, passed through Spotsylvania last winter en route for Fredericksburg. He passed through the same county about two weeks ago, destined, he said, for the same place. He is believed, from various circumstances, to be a spy. Too much vigilance can not be exercised at present in the observation of such characters.
