on has been passing himself on as Lieutenant Hill, of the Sixth Massachusetts regiment, alleging that he was wounded in the riot in Baltimore. By means he became familiar with the officers and men; but as there is no such officer in the Massachusetts regiment, and Emmerson is a native of Alexandria, it was thought proper to arrest him. He was committed by Justice Donn. Yesterday Justice Donn, by order of Gen. Mansfield, administered the oath of allegiance to J. F. Robinson, of Botetourt county, Va., who was taken in arms some days ago by the troops in Virginia, and sent to the jail in this city. John C. Garrett, arrested with Robinson, is still in prison.

e evidence against Mr. Brent is principally letters found in his possession, some of which were taken from a sleeve of a shirt in his valise-- others concealed in an umbrella he had with him. Many were of a business character — others were letters of introduction to various persons in Baltimore and elsewhere. Among the latter was one which was considered to bear against the prisoner, being an open letter, and the bearer presumed to know its contents. The writer threatens the fate of Ellsworth to all the United States officers who are spotted. The evidence against Scott consists mainly in the circumstances attending his arrest, as refusing the cath of allegiance, in connection with his frequent violent denunciation of the General Government. The evidence will be laid before Gen. Mansfield. John C. Garrett, of Botetourt, Va., who was arrested whilst on picket duty in the Confederate army, and brought to Washington, was released on Friday, on taking the cath of allegiance.

Deeds of Botetourt boys. --We are always glad to announce manly and gallant exploits by the brave boys of Botetourt, and with peculiar pride and pleasure we chronicle the following:--In the fight at Bull Run, Lieut. W. J. Price, of the Botetourt Dragoons, we learn, killed two men and took two prisoners with his own hands. On the day after the fight Mr. Lewis Nofsinger, of the Fincastle Rifles, came upon three of the enemy with loaded guns — he drew his gun to fire upon them, when they cried out "don't shoot; we'll surrender," and he marched the three into camp as prisoners, bringing their loaded guns with him. When the incidents of the battle are fully told we expect to have many more such accounts to give of our bold boys. Each of them, we know, will have a good account to render of himself. No cowards or poltroons are there among them.--Valley Sentinel.
