r said that did not authorize them to make themselves nuisances. Required to give security, and failed.--Mrs. Martha West had Edward Hill up for uttering threats against her. Two witnesses swore exactly the reverse of each other about the matter, and the Mayor continued the case until to-day.--Daniel Johnson, a person with sunburnt face and heavy beard, who said he was partly raised in Kentucky and partly in Canada, and had just arrived from New York with a letter from General Cocke to Governor Letcher, the latter of whom told him to circulate around as he pleased, was placed in durance till his Excellency could be called on Austin Gibbons, arrested for using incendiary language, was committed. Gibbons said he was drunk. The Mayor told him, "out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh," and he should have to send him, at least for a time, where the police cease from troubling and the wicked are at rest.

Letcher, and brought to his notice the object of his mission, and the specific acts of aggression complained of in the entrance upon our soil by the troops of Virginia. "The Governor was understood to say that he would apply to the commanding officer at Harper's Ferry for information on the subject, and would be prepared to reply more fully when the report of that officer was received; but he begged me to convey to your honorable body the distinct and earnest assurance that if at any time th

whose names do not occur to mind. Probably not less than three thousand ladies and gentlemen were present on foot and in vehicles, and between the gay attires and handsome faces of the women, the various-colored uniforms of the soldiers, the flashing bayonets, the martial tramp of the men, and the inspiring music of the band, the scene was invested with a life and beauty that kept out of mind the solemn object of all this demonstration. The President was on horseback, accompanied by Gov. Letcher and an aid. Hon. Pierre Soule, of Louisiana, and Ex-Senator Wigfall, of Texas, also mounted, were likewise upon the field, interested observers of passing events.

The militia are rapidly coming in, in obedience to the Proclamation of Gov. Letcher. Sharp-Shooter.
