pposed spy captured. --A man named Wm. A. Joynes, a resident of Norfolk, Va., who, during the occupation of that place by the Confederate troops, made himself so very obnoxious to all the loyal inhabitants that he had to adjourn in disguise to the Eastern Shore, has recently been unearthed here in Richmond by Capt. Alexander's detectives; the circumstances surrounding him, inducing the belief that he was induced by the promise of a large reward to come here and act the part of a spy for Lincoln. If this was his object, his design has been nipped in the bud. He is now safe under lock and key in Castle Godwin. It is said that after the hasty withdrawal from Norfolk of our forces under General Huger, Joynes returned to that place and aided the Lincolnites in the persecution they set on foot against the loyal inhabitants which has continued to the present time.--To show how completely this fellow Joynes had identified himself with the enemies of his country it may be mentioned that
thern army, to avoid the Northern draft. Arrests are being made there on the charge of disloyalty. Back of Cape Girardeau the Confederates have a Wisconsin regiment surrounded. The fighting at Bloomfield, Mo., was continued for three days. An additional force had been sent from Cairo to the assistance of the Yankees. Memphis dispatches of the 30th state that Gen. Bragg has a force of 80,000 men in motion, and Memphis is threatened. It is expected that obstructions to navigation will be established above Memphis. A gunboat fleet will patrol to keep the river open. Curtis refused to go to Vicksburg without a direct order from Lincoln. Curtis and Commodore Davis passed Memphis Saturday for Cairo. A rumor prevails that Curtis's whole army was about to start on an important expedition to some unarmed point. Over six hundred stores and private dwellings in Memphis have been taken possession of by Yankee authority — the owners in some cases being expelled.
Hardy county. "All quiet in Hardy," is the latest report we receive from this mountain county of Virginia, and no Lincoln troops nearer than Romney, where there is but one company of cavalry, and a small force at New Creek Station, for the protection of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. There still exists considerable Union sentiment in the western part of the county, around Moorefield, and between that place and Franklin, Pendleton county; but it is stated that some misguided men have exme misguided men have expressed a desire to get back to the Confederate side, and that the loyal Southern element is on the increase. A splendid harvest has been saved, and the growing corn looks well. Since Robertson's cavalry visited Hardy and broke up a band of Lincoln soldiers, the people have been in better spirits, and now look for an early deliverance from the dangers and difficulties that have surrounded them. A mail route is to be established between Moorefield and New Market.
