ition had not then been discovered. Companies H and M, accompanied by Lieutenants Whitaker, Raymond, Martinson, Homan, and Stuart, moved off down the Middleburgh road, the fence to the right was quickly thrown down, and, with a dash, this forlorn hope rushed up to the hay-stacks. For the first time their fire was opened from the ditch a little to the rear of the hay-stacks. This was filled with rebel cavalry — many of them armed with rifles. Captain Grintar, with Lieutenants Mattison and Shafer, and company K, dashed up immediately to the support of these companies, F, I, D, and G, went to the right up the Snicker's Gap road a piece, turned to the left, crossed the field, and reached the scene of conflict in time to take an active part. The contest for twenty minutes at this point was about as spirited a scene as is often witnessed on a battle-field. The Sixth Ohio, Major Steadman, was sent up the road to the left to support the Harris Light, when the whole command, with the Ma

That proper muster-rolls be prepared of these laborers, and details so arranged that only those that labor, with their families, shall be fed from this source. V. No paroled soldier or person who has served in the Confederate forces shall be employed, unless he takes the oath of allegiance to the United States. I shall be glad to arrange the details of this proposal through the aid of Colonel Shafer, of the quartermaster department, and Colonel Turner, of the subsistence department, as soon as it has been acted on by you. The reason of this calling upon the city was that I proposed to expend on this work part of the taxes of the city. I had made the acquaintance of Col. T. B. Thorpe, and we agreed upon the following plan for having the city cleansed and kept clean:-- The occupant of every house was to see that everything within and without its courtelige was cleansed to th

Sergeant-Major Hazen, and Commissary-Sergeant Glazebrook. The soldier lads of this pet military organization wore their bright fatigue uniform and white duck trousers, and in appearace were not unlike the Blacksburg cadets, except for a slight difference in the ages of the members of the two organizations. Company A was commanded by Captain Clarence Wyatt, Lieutenants Woon and Cheatwood assisted him. Company B was captained by George Ainslie, who was assisted by Lieutenants Pegram and Shafer. The special battalion commanded by Captain John W. Happer, of Portsmouth, was composed of the Portsmouth Rifles, the Junior Rifles, of the same city, and the Virginia Zouaves, of Lynchburg. The Portsmouth Rifles were headed by their Drum Corps of sixteen, under Drum-Major J. T. Lawrence. Lieutenant E. W. Owens was in command, and Lieutenant John W. Leigh was also along. There were forty-four men in line. The Junior Rifles, one of the most attractive bodies in the line, was officer

Store-Breaking --On Friday night, some thief broke one of the handsome front windows of the store of Messrs. Shafer, Halsey & Co. 110 Main street, and stole a considerable quantity of clothing. The pane of glass broach is 9 feet 11 inches in length, and coat about $60; therefore, this damage is more serious to the proprietors than the loss of the goods, for such glass is not easily replaced. It is to be regretted that the thief had not cut his threat or severed some principal artery in the operation.

o show that he received his pay as Captain, and kept the office of District Attorney, given him by a member of a Republican Administration. The committee conclude "that Captain Carrington's sympathies are divided, and that such men can not be trusted to repress the rebellion or to defend the Constitution and the laws." Lloyd Harrison, Second Lieutenant in Sherman's battery. Wm. H. Craig, already quoted more than once, swears that Lloyd Harrison was also appointed lieutenant under the patronage of the Adjutant-General. He went to Alexandria and enlisted in Shafer's company. He came back and boasted that he held a commission, notwithstanding he had enlisted in the rebel army. He was appointed a lieutenant through the influence of General Thomas. Says now he was drunk when he enlisted in the rebel army. T. J. Lugenbeel swears that Lloyd Harrison, second lieutenant in Sherman's battery, is generally regarded as a Secessionist. I have heard him utter Secession sentiments.

e we do not wish to palliate at all the indiscretion of which some persons were guilty in their do portent towards the Yankees, we are inclined to think, from our knowledge of the circumstances, that the affair was magnified in the estimation of the public by exaggerated reports. Early in the day information was carried to the Mayor that Col Corcoran had been seen to enter the store of Messrs. Scott & Harrison, on Sycamore street, in company with Mr. Delaney, the head cutter for Scott & Shafer, and that subsequent observation had discovered the Yankee Colonel seated inside in close conversation with several gentlemen. Officer Peterson was detailed to inquire into the matter, who took Delaney in charge and conducted him before the Mayor, Mr. A. L. was requested to attend the examination of Delaney. In the meantime, the excitement or the crowd became very high near the store, and Col. Corcoran was led out through the back entrance of the building and conducted by officer
