rday and Sunday night the 531, Col. Owens, and 431 Col. Kenan's regiments, were engaged in throwing up heavy earthworks on Rodman's Point. Behind these will be mounted to-night three heavy guns. No firing anywhere this morning. On the north side of the river the troops under command of Gen. Garnett have been gradually drawing in their fold, and I was told on Sunday that Capt.

None of them had seen O'D. strike Mrs. E. The charge against O'D. was dismissed. Richard Jordan was charged with stealing from Charles Mitteldorfer a pipe worth $70 and Thos. Turpin a somewhat notorious youth, was charged with having the same in his possession. The evidence against the defendants was of such a character as to warrant the Mayor in requiring bail of each to the amount of $300 for their good behavior. On falling to give bail they were sent to the chain gang for 90
