oad several carriage loads of travellers, and two teams drawing heavy wagon loads of supplies, boxes of tea and dry goods just "over" from Maryland. In Westmoreland county, where our Rappahannock ferrymen put us ashore, we met a large party of Marylanders, fresh from Baltimore. There were some fifteen or twenty of them, and greeting us as Baltimoreans, they were urgent in their representations of the perils we should incur in attempting to reach the Monumental City. Westmoreland county, they told us, was then full of Marylanders, flying from the draft to come. A camp of three hundred, they said, was established in the heart of the county, a few miles d for us from the point at which we had left it on the North Anna, offering us in re- turn the valuable information that at Oak Grove, on the Potomac shore of Westmoreland, we should find the boat with two boatmen which brought him over from Maryland, and which might probably be made available for taking us the other way, since w

d 26 boxes of tobacco, while en route, as it is supposed, for the enemy. The tobacco was marked "Superior pound lumps, Danville, Va., P. R., 103." The seizure was made a few miles beyond the Old Church, in Hanover county, Va. The tobacco was contained in two four-horse wagons, driven by a white man named Patrick Reardon, and a negro. The negro and teams were left at the Government yards, (Bacon's Quarter Branch,) and Reardon was lodged in Castle Thunder. In the wagons, beside the tobacco, was a large bag of cotton and a boat sail. The tobacco, by the bill of lading, appeared to be consigned to Wm. R. Polk of Westmoreland county. It is supposed that the sail was intended to be used on the boat engaged to put the tobacco across the Potomac. After the above seizure, (which was made on information received from Danville,) the detective police took in possession another lot of 26 boxes of tobacco found in Richmond, and also owned by Polk. It was carried to Major Griswold's office.

Abolition prisoners. --Fifty one Abolition prisoners, mostly belonging to the 8th Pennsylvania cavalry, including Capt. Samuel Wilson, of Comply L. of that regiment, were brought to the Libby prison Saturday night. There arrived with the above lot two deserters from the 69th New York, and one from the 5th regiment, same State. The Abolition prisoners of war were captured at Leed's Ferry, in Westmoreland county, Dec. 2d, while on picket duty. They say they were surprised by our men, and surrendered without any resistance. Yesterday 21 Abolitionists, heretofore captured and in confinement at Atlanta, Ga, were brought to Richmond to be paroled and sent North.

Black Sailors. Our readers are probably not aware that runaway negroes are employed in large numbers to man the Yankee gunboats, and act as marines.--Yet such, we learn, is the fact. A gentleman, who was lately in Westmoreland and the adjoining counties, tells us that it is a very common practice to send boats crews of darkies on shore to maraud upon farmers. He adds, that they invariably behave much better than the Yankees, and seldom take more than is wanted for subsistence. We should have expected this. The negro is, naturally much more of a gentleman than the Yankee, and, unless where corrupted by intercourse with him, will in general behave with propriety. The commixture of the two races will greatly improve the Yankees, and in this sense it is well in them to encourage it. They want examples of good manners to teach them.

t the paper expressed the opinion that Hallock himself would soon take command in person. All this was before the fight. Another paper — the Sunday Mercury--had a long correspondence about the citizen prisoners taken in Stafford and Westmoreland counties, all of whose names I have already sent you except E. A. W. Hore, of Stafford. They were kept in tents "with lousy contrabands," as the correspondent expresses it, and rebel soldiers and deserters, &c.; had to take scarce prisoners fare, Col Thos S Garnett. Col. Thos. S. Garnett, of the 48th Va., who was killed at Chancellorsville while cheering on his men to the charge, was buried at Hollywood Cemetery temporarily yesterday, previous to the removal of the remains to Westmoreland county, (according to his request,) after the war shall have ended. His body lay in state in the Capitol on Saturday. List of casualties.Purcell battery This well-known battery participated in the recent battle at Chancellorsville, and,

Yankees in King George and Westmoreland. A correspondent, writing from Port Royal under date of the 21st, states that the Yankees have withdrawn their pickets from Port Conway, just opposite Port Royal; but scouting parties appeared there almost daily. A courier had just arrived, bringing information that five Yankee gunboats had come up to Layton's Ferry, in Westmoreland, about 15 miles below Port Royal. He also stated that about 1,000 Yankee cavalry were encamped in Westmoreland, just opposite Layton's, and that they were committing many depredations upon the country adjacent to that point.

A Yankee Deserter, who now hails from Westmoreland county, and gives his name as Peter Cluman, a member of the first Massachusetts regiment, was picked up at the corner of 9th and Broad streets last Saturday night, having been laid low for the time by the powerful arm of king alcohol. The Mayer, having no faith in deserters, required Peter to give bail for his future good behavior, and pre him a job in the chain gong if he fitted to fled the security. Pretended deserters have already furnished the Yankees sufficient in of our resources and defences, without trusting any more. The Mayor did well to put this weak kneed son of More in such a position on to insure him against doing any harm.
