17, 1861. of the reduction April 13. of Fort Sumter; and Col. Van Dorn, with three armed steamers from Galveston, arrived with instructions from Montgomery to capture and hold as prisoners of war all Federal soldiers and officers remaining in Texas. Maj. Sibley, in command at that port, had chartered two small schooners and embarked thereon a part of his force, when he was compelled to surrender again unconditionally. Col. Waite was in like manner captured at San Antonio, by order of Maj. Macklin, late an officer in our service, under Twiggs; Capt. Wilcox, who made the arrest, answering Waite's protest with the simple words, I have the force. Waite, and a few officers with him, were compelled to accept paroles not to serve against the Confederacy unless regularly exchanged. Of course, the forces at the several posts protecting the frontiers of Texas, being isolated and cut off from all communication with each other, or with a common Headquarters, fell an easy prey to the Rebel

Mayor's Court, Monday, May 25th. --J. J. Macktin was arraigned for being drunk and disorderly in the street. It appeared that the watchmen came on Macklin while he was piercing the "inky veil of night" with cries which denoted that other "spirits" than those "from the vasty deep" had been called to his aid. As conservators of the peace they took possession of the corpus of the jubilant bacchanalian, and were attempting to convey him to the cage, when Thos. W. Harman, who happened to be with him, filed a "plea in abatement" in the shape of violent personal resistance to the proposed abduction. Private enterprise yielded to the majority of the law, and both were carried to the lock up. The Mayor was about committing them to jail for want of security for their good behavior, when it appeared that they were soldiers of the 6th Ga. Reg't, bound South. The Mayor said he would offer no impediment to their going. They were let off. John G. Scott and John Davis were examine

Aiding runaways. --A negro named Macklin, slave to Dr. Jennings, of James City, was before the Mayor yesterday to answer the charge of aiding a runaway slave to escape from this city. The prisoner proved a good character, and showed his fidelity to his master by establishing the fact that he had frequently been within the enemy's lines and had always returned. It was proved, however, that he had carried a runaway from this city to New Kent for the sum of $10, the runaway having a forged pass, with which he passed the pickets on the road.--There was no proof that the prisoner knew the pass was forged, or that he intended to aid the runaway to escape into the Yankee lines. The Mayor reviewed the evidence. and then stated as a fact that many servants whose characters were unexceptionable in other respects were most prompt to aid runaways in getting off. He took until Friday morning to give his decision.

Some of the most costly articles were packed away in a large sole leather traveling trunk, which of itself would command six or eight hundred dollars, independent of its contents. The same officers also arrested a negro fellow named Abraham, slave of Felix Mathews, who had in his possession a ham of bacon supposed to have been stolen. Abe, like his white namesake, the occupant of the White House at Washington, is represented to be a hard case, and has a

Mayor's Court. --The following business was transacted in this Court on Saturday: Macklin, slave of H. J. Jennings, was charged with having in his possession a quantity of goods, valued at $5,477, stolen from M. L. Jacobson, and one side om Machlin, one of the numerous negroes in this city who are permitted to do business on their own account. On going to Macklin's shop, the officers found a lot of leather, which they thought he had no right to have, and thereupon took him under arrest.--Macklin denied having any other room than that in which he conducted the shoemaking and repairing business; but it was afterwards ascertained that he occupied one on the alley running between Main and Franklin and 13th and 14th streets.
