sted on charge of stealing a horse belonging to Chas. P. Word, in June last, were before the Mayor yesterday for examination. Mr. Word's stable, in New Kent county, was broken into and the horse stolen. Two days after John Welsh, a member of Capt. Rogers's cavalry, rode the horse to this city, and was arrested. Welsh proved in his trial that he borrowed the horse at camp in Charles City, and he was therefore discharged. Yesterday it was proved that the prisoners carried the horse to Rogers'shorse to Rogers's camp, and claimed it. As the theft was committed in New Kent county, and the horse was taken to Charles City, the Mayor decided that the thieves must be tried in one or the other of those counties, and therefore determined to send them down, unless he could discover some law, lately passed, giving the Courts of Richmond jurisdiction over the matter. Neither the jail of New Kent or Charles City are safe prison-houses at this time, owing to their proximity to the Yankee lines.

. This bill, referred to the Committee on Military Affairs, passed the Yankee House of Representatives on the 7th by years 89, nays 26--a motion to lay on the table, by Cox, of Ohio, having been rejected. A resolution was offered declaring that as the combination at Richmond has no rightful authority over the people, or any portion of the National Union, and no warrant but conspiracy and treason, therefore every proposition to treat with them should be rejected without hesitation. Rogers, of New Jersey, on the same day, offered resolutions reciting that, whilst we are in favor of a vigorous, united, and determined prosecution of the war, for the maintenance of the Constitution and laws, yet we are for conciliation and compromise as far as consistent with an honorable and lasting peace; and proposing the appointment of commissioners on the part of the Federal Government, to meet commissioners similarly appointed by the insurgent States, to consider whether any, and if any wha
