Lee is short, almost to the point of unintelligibility. Passengers by the cars say that 6,000 Yankees were taken prisoners; but as this is not confirmed officially,hat scoundrel has been earning his portion of the gallows for six months, and it were most desirable that he should be paid. What may be the future movements of Gen. Lee, we cannot imagine, nor even if we know positively would we give a hint that might betray the cause.

[Cheers.] An enthusiastic juvenile Democrat proposed three cheers for Gen. Lee, which, however, was not responded to. After several other speeches, a series of resolutions were adopted. We publish four of them: We deny the heresy that the Administration is the Government; holding, on the contrary, that the Government is the will of the people expressed in the Constitution of the United States and of the several States. That all laws, in accordance with that expressed will, command our obedience and respect; but that the order, decree, or proclamation of a

day related to us by a gentleman of this city, who obtained the facts from Capt. Jas. G. White, of King William county, who vouches for the accuracy of the statement. Some days age, when the Yankees made their raid to Aylett's, they visited the place of Dr. Gregg, living in the neighborhood, and took from their comfortable homes forty three negroes, who were hurried off to York river and placed on board a vessel bound northward. Along with these negroes, as a prisoner, was a gentleman named Lee, a resident and highly respectable citizen of King William, who has since been released and allowed to return to his home.

The Captain of the Yankee vessel and his crew were greatly alarmed at the appearance of the disease on board, and very soon determined to
