ragraph in the Washington letter of a city contemporary, published yesterday, relating to the capture, by the Hessians, a few days since of Francis K. McLaughlin, son of H. C. McLaughlin, Esq., formerly of Alex and Rita, but now of this city, may lead to erroneous impressions. The "lad" never was a pet of Daniel Sickles — but his father living in sight of the Washington jail, where Sickles was confined for his cowardly and unavenged assassination of Key, was moved by compassion to visit him every morning, and usually carried with him a bouquet. He was not "a pet" of Sickles, because he used to tell him that he ought to "have shot his wife before he shot Key." As to Mr. Highland being a spy of Lincoln our in formant is not positive; but he is certain, from a letter we have seen from Major Beale, in command at the Hague, that Highland has returned to the Virginia shores after a week's trials and exposure in the woods, and, no doubt, can and will give a good account of himself.
