e battle-field with a dreadful wound, said to his sister who sat by him, Sister, I am going home to heaven — I am so glad it is such a good home. B. F. Leitner was wounded while bearing the colors of the 2d South Carolina regiment: Though shot down, he did not suffer the flag to fall, but kept it upright, floating proudly in the battle-storm, until he transferred the sacred charge to another, saying, Bear it forward and never let it fall. He was afterwards removed to the house of Mr. Perdue, Manchester, where he was kindly cared for till he died. Just before his death, Capt. Leitner writes: I asked him what he would have me write to father and mother about his end. Write, said he, I die happy. My confidence in God and our Saviour is unshaken. I am going to heaven. I asked, Do you know that you are dying? Yes, was the answer, and I am glad of it; I want to join the army of Jesus Christ. A young soldier, soon after he was shot, said to a comrade: My wound is

Another bloody deed. --On Saturday afternoon two soldiers belonging to the 4th Louisiana Battalion were passing in company along Main street, between 23d and 24th, when, from some cause at present unknown, one of them thrust a knife into the other's breast, inflicting a severe wound. The injured man, whose name is John Dowdy, was conveyed to one of the hospitals in the vicinity; and information of the occurrence having been communicated to Capt. Gibbes, of the Government prisons, he caused the arrest of the soldier who committed the deed, and he was handed over to Officers Seal and Perdue, of the city police. He gave his name as Zach. Burnett. It was reported yesterday morning that Dowdy was dead, but on inquiry last evening we learned that he was in an improving condition.

ut their cases were mostly of little interest. George Moore and John Kelly, sailors, were charged with stealing a silver watch from Robert, slave of John Hunter. While Robert was with his back on Saturday night, near the corner of Mayo and Broad street, the accused passed by and asked him the time. He took out his watch to tell them, when Moore snatched it and ran up Broad streets. Mr. John A. Foster, who witnessed the robbery, followed the rogues and pointed them out to watchman Perdue, who arrested them in Dominick's tobacco store on Broad street, above 7th street. When arrested Moore had the stolen watch in his pocket. The accused were committed for trial. Warner, slave of Robert B. Trower, was charged with having a gold watch and pencil, supposed to be stolen. Warner said he had bought the watch from an unknown soldier, and had the receipt at home. It appearing that he was going at large, the Mayor committed him, and continued the case as to the watch until
