It is also said in this letter that Miss P., when arrested the second time, had on her person $7,500 of unexpended money, furnished her by the "rebels,"This is also false, as is likewise the statement that on her arrival in Washington she was placed in jail. Norah M'Cartey — a Reminiscence of the Missouri campaign. [From the Nashville Banner,] Jan. 15th. During the stay of Col. Jones in Nashville we had the pleasure of many fireside talk with him upon affairs in the West, which he discusses with ready frankness, interspersed with many anecdotes and illustrations. These stories have led us to believe that, thus far, Missouri has the better of other seats of hostility for the real romance of war. Most assuredly the fight there has been waged with fiercer earnest than almost anywhere else. The remote geography of the country, the rough, unsewn character of the people, t

Oysters, &c. --Never was this delicious salt water luxury more abundant than at the present time. At the commencement of the season an effort was made to put a heavy tariff on those disposed to indulge in the luxury, but it failed, owing to the magnanimity of certain large dealers. Talking of oysters naturally reminds one of fish. The most enticing of the finney tribe is confessedly shad. Though very soon in the season, we saw a number of very fine ones at the old market a few mornings since, on the stalls of Messrs. Peasley & Jones. We learned, on inquiry, that they were captured in York river. In this region the regular shad season won't come for some months.

, thought that Jones was guilty of unlawfully assaulting and beating Curry, and required him to give bail in $1,000 to answer an indictment for that offence. The Mayor then gave as a reason for not disposing of the case on Friday, his wish to have prosecuted all the parties engaged in gaming at Anderson's house, on the day of the fight, W. W. Jones, Robert E. Wyatt, and Wm. Pessley, were each held to bail to answer an indictment for gaming on the Sabbath day. Before taking bail for Jones, Mr. Crane, on the part of Curry's friends, handed in a list of twelve names to be summoned as witnesses; but his Honor declined to re-open the case, stating that he had concluded the examination on the day before — that parties had had ample opportunity for furnishing that list pending the examination — that one of the persons whose name was furnished had been examined, and swore that he knew nothing of the beating, and that the precedent would be an exceedingly bad one, and one that he was

ust as he was about catching him the fellow wheeled around and fired a pistol at him, (Hicks,) the ball passing through the cape of his overcoat. Hicks then knocked him down, but the fallow rolled over and over down the hill, and gaining his feet finally succeeded in getting away, leaving behind, however, the pistol (which is a superior Colt's revolver) and an overcoat, in the pocket of which was a deed, conveying some property to his wife. The fellow's name is Edward, and he belongs to W. W. Jones, but has recently been employed in driving a wagon on the streets for Mr. Hillyard. Alexander and Robert, the parties arrested, were ordered to be whipped to the extent of the law. William, slave of Samuel Moran, was charged with stealing one chest of clothes valued at $50, from another negro; also, with trespassing upon the premises of Mrs. Rebecca A.

the day, which for nearly two hours trembled in doubt, and were at length enabled to assume the offensive. It was evidently Grant's object to turn our right wing, and if he had succeeded it is impossible to say what might not have been the result. On the left we were equally successful. An attempt was made to pierce that part of Ewell's line which was held by Pegram's brigade, but it was signally defeated. You will regret to hear that Gen. Pegram was severely wounded, and that Brig. Generals Jones, of Va, and Stafford, of La, were killed the evening before. With this exception, the left wing was not required to take any further part in the heavy fighting of the day, the enemy's almost exclusive attention being given to our right. About 11 o'clock Longstreet was ordered to move upon the enemy's left flank, and if possible dislodge him from the railroad cut and the plank road, and drive him back upon Brock's road. The brigades selected for this movement were G. T. Anderson
