al brush. Half way round he neared his leader, and made a pretty run to catch him.--Turning the homestretch, they came down amidst uproarious shouts, Lightning, however, keeping some lengths ahead, and so reaching the winning post, having made the fourth mile in 2:02, the heat in 8:13½, and so, of course, the race. The Virginia horses — who, by the way, did not win a race the whole week — sustained a defeat on Friday in a single dash of two miles, the entries being Doswell's Exchequer, Minor's Neil Robinson, Vairin's Laura Farris, and Richard's Magenta. The Delta says: "There was some straining for a good start by the prime ministers, and after futile attempt of each party to take the wind out of the sails of his adversary, they got off, Laura Farris certainly had a bad start, but she made up the difference in the first mile with ease.

Acquitted. --Thos. H. Clarke was brought before the Mayor yesterday, charged with the larceny of Franklin Minor's watch. It was in proof that Minor went into the Ballard House bar-room one night last week to get a drink. That as soon as he got in he was knocked down by some fellow who was then and there pretty freely distributing his blows to all within reach. Clarke and Minor were afterwards approaching the bar when some other party pushed both down. In falling Minor's watch fell out of his vest pocket on the floor and it was picked up by Clarke, who after holding it up left the room. He was drunk at the time. The next day on being accosted he readily acknowledged that he had taken it, but said that being drunk he did not know what he was doing. He offered to return the watch, and did so, but in the meantime a policeman having been sent for deemed it his duty to take him in custody. In the absence of felonious intent the Mayor acquitted the accused.

ore I could reorganize the laborers for the engineers. Keeping, then, only small bodies of troops at Harwood's and Young's Mills, and at Ship Point, I distributed my remaining forces along the Warwick line, embracing a front from Yorktown to Minor's farm of twelve miles, and from the latter place to Mulberry Island Point of one and a half miles. I was compelled to place in Gloucester Point, Yorktown, and Mulberry Island, fixed garrisons amounting to six thousand men, my whole force bevanced and took possession of Harwood's Mills. He had advanced in two heavy columns--one along the old York road, and the other along the Warwick road, and, on the 5th of April. appeared simultaneously along the whole front of our line, from Minor's farm to Yorktown. I have no accurate data upon which to base an exact statement of his force, but, from various sources of information, I was satisfied that I had before me the enemy's Army of Potomac, under the command of Gen. McClellan,
