Traitorous and incendiary Legends. Richmond, April 22.--Yesterday morning the walls of the houses of Purcell, Ladd & Co., E. B. Spence & Co., Binford & Porter, the Powhatan House, and other conspicuous establishments about the town, were covered with incendiary and blasphemous writings, a verbatim copy of some of which we give below. The writing was in a fair, round, and deliberate hand, and all evidently performed by one and the same person — the writing in the various places named being identical in character. The dirty work must have been begun before the street-lamps were extinguished at twelve o'clock on Saturday night, as it could not possibly have been accomplished in the dark. We are confirmed in this opinion by the fact that all the writings are in the neighborhood of the lamps. From the amount of writing, and the size of the letters, grant it to have been performed by one hand, it is computed that it could not have occupied the writer less than an hour, that is, from

There is no doubt that in Georgia alone we could pick up ten thousand negroes that would rejoice in meeting fifteen thousand Yankees in deadly conflict.

t to risk the fate of the South upon such an encounter in an open field. an incident of the battle of the forts.--Capt. Boggs, of the Varuna, tells a story of a brave boy who was on board his vessel during the bombardment of the forts on the Mi broadsides of the Varuna's rebel antagonist was poured in. Covered with dirt and begrimed with powder, he was met by Captain Boggs, who asked where he was going in such a hurry? To get a passing-box, sir; the other one was smashed by a ball! And so, throughout the fight, the brave lad held his place and did his duty. When the Varuna went down Captain Boggs missed his boy, and thought he was among the victims of the battle. But a few minutes afterwards he saw the lad gallantly swimming towards the wreck. Clambering on board of Captain Boggs's boat, he threw his hand up to his forehead, giving the usual salute, and uttering only the words, All right, sir! I report myself on board, passed coolly to his station. So young a lad, so

From the amount of writing, and the size of the letters, grant it to have been performed by one hand, it is computed that it could not have occupied the writer less than an hour, that is, from eleven to twelve o'clock. Where, it is on every hand asked, where, during that dull hour of the watch, were the much vaunted, highly paid (four dollars per diem and perquisites) detectives? Where was Rossvally? Where was Rob Crow? That the writer was an indifferent poet and an illiterate and blasphemous man, there can be but one opinion among those who scan the writing on the walls.
