ere caught in ambush and killed. Captain Walker, of the Texan Rangers, while out on a scout lost his camp guard of five men, surprised and killed, and later Captains Thornton and Hardee, of the dragoons, were met at Rancho Carricitos by a large cavalry force and some infantry under General Torrijon, who took captive or killed the entire party. Captains Thornton and Hardee and Lieutenant Kane were made prisoners. The other commissioned officer of the command, George T. Mason, of my class, refused to surrender; being a superior swordsman, he tried to cut his way out, and was killed. This affair was taken as open war, and General Taylor called on the governors of Texas and Louisiana--under his authority from Washington for volunteers of infantry and cavalry. The capture of Thornton and Hardee created great excitement with the people at home. Fanning's massacre and the Alamo at San Antonio were remembered, and it was reported of General Ampudia, who on a recent occasion had capt

arther to the left, making way for our infantry, and crowned a commanding hill with artillery, ready for the attack in the morning. General Jackson had arrived in time from Harper's Ferry, with a part of his command, on the night before to take position on this line, and the attack began very early next morning. The cavalry was held as a support for the artillery, which was very advantageously posted so as to bring an enfilading fire upon the enemy's right. About this time, Lieutenant-Colonel John T. Thornton, of the Third Virginia cavalry, was mortally wounded, at the head of his regiment. To the service he was a brave and devoted member. In him one of the brightest ornaments of the State has fallen. This fire was kept up with terrible effect upon the enemy; and the position of the artillery being somewhat endangered, Early's brigade was sent to me by General Jackson as additional support. The enemy had advanced too far into the woods near the Dunkard church for the fire to

elf Thomas Monks, claiming to hall from Worcester, Mass., was arrested on Friday night, in the neighborhood of 7th and Byrd streets, as a suspicious character, and for running away when the watchmen approached him. He declined to give any definite account of his business here, and the Mayor, thinking that Monks ought by all means to be provided with a cell, gave him a passport to the city jail. A bystander casually observed that he "didn't much blame the feller; he would run himself if he seen the night-watch coming after him." Elizabeth Martin, the free negro woman who was punished with "twenty" day before yesterday, for assaulting Charles Tyler, received another dose of "thirty" yesterday for using vulgar and abusive language to Mrs. Catherine Tyler. Thornton, slave of Edw'd. Green, was properly punished for indecent exposure in the Second Market: and Marcus, slave of Warner Shelton, of Hanover, was awarded thirty lashes for threatening to assault Benj. Osborn, a white man.

hmond Dispatch.public meeting — College military companies. Hampden Sidney College, Va., Jan, 21st. There was a meeting of the "sovereigns" of Prince Edward, at the court-house to-day, to nominate representatives to the Convention. Messrs. Thornton, Treadway and Wishum were names mentioned, but the nomination was deferred. There seemed to be quite a disunion sentiment abroad, and men seemed to be thinking that they ought to act. By the way, in to-day's Dispatch I see a communicatcompany organized at College. The company was organized, but the faculty, "noble and reverend senieurs," laid some unpalatable restrictions upon it, and it was abolished. The students, however, have determined to enlist in various volunteer companies in case of a war, and to fight boldly.--At the court-house, to-day, there were but one or two papers going around to get up companies--one for a cavalry company. It is rumored that Mr. Thornton is to be captain.--God bless the good cause. H. S.

An appeal. --A lady correspondent, under the above head, writes that Elizabeth A. Davis, whose address is Meherrin Depot, Prince Edward county, Va., has been several times to the city to seek pardon for her husband, Jos. P. Davis, who was imprisoned for man-slaughter in self-defence, for a term of 18 years, he having struck another man a blow on the head which proved fatal, the man having approached him with a gun pointed at him threatening to shoot. The lawyers for the defendant were John T. Thornton, Esq., and Samuel C. Anderson, Esq., of Prince Edward, and also Thomas T. Green, Esq., of Halifax. The man is reported to have borne an excellent character, and will now be willing, together with his wife, to spend their time in the service of their country. And the question is, as the Penitentiary is already so over-crowded, whether this will not be a deserving case of pardon. Ten years of his term have new expired.
