the unfortunate possessor of this much envied berth. The latest novelty, however, throws all others in the shade. Mr. Thos. R. Sharp has been called out by a card from several gentlemen, whose occupations and experience have evidently enabled them rtment of our city's service. We presume, however, that the principal object of the gentlemen who have brought out Mr. Sharp, had less reference to his capacity as a manager than to his peculiar political principles, and their object is, doubtlour city, and who sincerely seek her best interests; and we are farther satisfied that they know, while the election of Mr. Sharp, as the secession candidate, would show their strength, and, all other things being equal, would be a triumph of which hing? or, in other words, may he not be too much of a secessionist?

aw several horses following with empty saddles. Gen. Patterson's force of 17,000 men were last night encamped at Bunker Hill. The last rumor, at this moment received, is that the enemy have retreated and are advancing on Harper's Ferry. At any rate, it appears to be the impression that we shall have no fight. The prisoners taken a Falling Waters say that the time of four regiments in Patterson's command expires on the 18th of the month, and that they will go home. Mr. Thomas R.

ed at a very little expense, the principal damage being done to the tenders, one of which was considerably mashed up. The cars were not much injured. The track will be cleared for trains to pass early this morning. We regret to learn Capt. Thos. R.

Capt Sharp's services have been very valuable in removing the Baltimore and Ohio engines to this city, and also in moving the army stores from Manassas. Just at this time his services are much needed by the Confederacy, and it will be very hard to find a person equally well qualified to attend to his duties until his recovery.
