ported a bill incorporating the Southwestern Insurance Company. A communication was read from the Governor relative to the forcible taking from the jail of Franklin county one Robert Goodson by a party of armed Confederate soldiers. The Governor says that he had some time since addressed the Secretary of War in reference to this scandalous and outrageous act, but that no reply had as yet been received. The message was accompanied by letters from the Sheriff of Franklin county and Judge Wingfield, all of which were referred to the Committee on Confederate Relations and ordered to be printed. Mr. Bouldin, from the committee on conference on the subject of disagreement between the two Houses of the Legislature on the bill authorizing fiduciaries to invest funds in their hands, submitted a report adjusting the difficulty, which was agreed to. On motion of Mr. Hopkins, Senate resolutions expressing the gratitude of Virginia to the women of the Commonwealth, and proposing,

of the Provost Marshal's detective force, on Saturday, at the Star Saloon, on Main street. The parties, at the time of the arrest were in the act of swindling a Mr. Wingfield, of Hanover, out of a large sum of money by the substitute dodge. E. C. Ingalls, private in company A, 14th Louisiana, in the city on furlough, was decked out in the uniform of a Confederate Captain, and in the act of receiving John Booth, of company K, 5th Louisiana, into an imaginary company as a substitute for Wingfield. John Harton was present as Col. D. Zable to give his assent to the transaction, and Dave Summers, another substitute swindler, was present to witness the transaction. The detectives made their appearance in time to prevent the loss of Wingfield's money, and took the bogus Captain and Colonel, and their two accomplices, to the Provost Marshal's office, where the insight of the assumed rank of the officers was turn off them. They were all three sent to the military prison of the Eastern Dist

A Correction. --Some seven or eight days since we gave an account of the arrest at the Star Saloon, on Main street, of a bogus Colonel and Lieutenant, pretending to belong to a Louisiana regiment, and a private, who professed to belong also to a Louisiana regiment, who was charged with aiding the others in an attempt to come the substitute dodge over a Mr. Wingfield, of Hanover. The parties, as related by us, being detected in the act of swindling, were committed to the military prison for trial by court-martial. One of the participants in the frond was get down as R. C. Ingalis of company A, 14th Louisiana regiment from papers found on his person. The real name of the party in question was Charles McNutt, of company C, 14th Louisiana. It appears from a statement furnished by Mr. Ingalis that McNutt purchased his furlough with the expressed intention of visiting his home, and consequently assumed the name of the party from whom he purchased it. When he was afterwards detecte

A second Daniel come to judgment. In Mohammedan countries idiots and madmen are treated with superstitions veneration, and their incoherent ravings regarded as the genuine outpourings of inspiration.--It must be under the influence of some such superstition, we presume, that our volatile friends, the Yankees, enter upon record "such a deal of skimble-skamble stuff" as we have lately been presented with under the name of conversations with Lieutenant. General Winfield (or Wingfield) Scott, insisting at the same time, upon the title of its author, to be placed, like Saul, among the prophets. What other title the distinguished utterer can have to that lofty eminence it is difficult to imagine. Most certainly, whatever it may be, it is not of that character described by Cicero, which consists in foretelling the future by judging from the past; for the country probably never produced a man who has risen so high, with so little pretensions to those qualifications which are understo

a great country delivering himself in the style of Abraham Lincoln, it would be condemned as violating all the laws of probability and nature. But in this instance, as in many others, truth is stranger than fiction. Nevertheless, we think we understand the policy which is indicated in this letter declining to reinstate the St. Louis clergymen. The Confederate clergy are to be turned out of their pulpits, as in Norfolk and Portsmouth and, perhaps, set to work in the streets, like Rev. Mr. Wingfield, with a ball and chain, and when the President is petitioned to restore them to their sacred offices he vulgarly and cunningly replies that he can't "undertake to run the churches." He runs the Southern clergy out, and runs Abolitionists in, but he can't take charge of any church on any side. His subterfuge is as vile as his language is vulgar. Need any man wonder at the brutalities of his underlings, when the prince of all blackguards sits in the Presidential chair of the United Sta

Revocation of a Brutal order. --The order of Gen. Wild, sentencing Rev. Mr. Wingfield, of Portsmouth, Va., to sweep the streets in the chain gang has been revoked by Butter. The following is the order revoking it: Headq'rs 13th army Corps.Dep't Va, and N. Carolina,Fortress Monroe, March 1, 1864. The remainder of the sentence imposed by Brig Gen. Wild upon the Rev. Mr. Wingfield is remitted. He will be sent to Capt. assels at Fortress Monroe, for custody. His punishment is remitess Monroe, March 1, 1864. The remainder of the sentence imposed by Brig Gen. Wild upon the Rev. Mr. Wingfield is remitted. He will be sent to Capt. assels at Fortress Monroe, for custody. His punishment is remitted not from respect for his acts, or because it is unjust but because its nature may be supposed to reflect upon the Christian Church, which by his connection with it has been already too much disgraced. By command of Maj. Gen. Butler. (Signed,) A. B. Puffer, Capt. A. D. C.
