he made was mutually satisfactory, and he promised to meet her every Saturday morning at the mouth of the river, and give her a pass to proceed on her trip; but alas! he is no more, and doubtless evil disposed persons took advantage of the absence of a Government officer, and made the seizure. As the lives and property of local citizens of Maryland and of the District of Columbia are hazarded by her detention, may 1 ask what measure may at once be taken for her capture? [Signed] Chas. Worthington. Capture of a scouting party. The Baltimore Exchange publishes the following special dispatch: Williamsport, June 28.--A scouting party, consisting of forty Federal troops, left this place this morning for the Virginia shore. In the evening four of them returned. The rest, thirty-six in number, were taken prisoners by the Confederate forces. A great deal of dissatisfaction prevails among the troops encamped in this vicinity, owing to the quality of the food and the qu

r of well-known gentlemen were introduced by the accused, who testified to his sympathy with the South, and his universal character for sobriety and honesty. The examination was continued several days, in order to allow the fullest investigation, and the result showed that, instead of aiding our enemies, Mr. C. has been giving his money and risking his life for the good of the South. Mr. C. is well known in Eastern Virginia, in which territory he owns the right of sale of the Wheeler & Wilson Sewing Machine. He does business in this city, in Petersburg and in Norfolk. He also travels extensively through the State in the prosecution of his business, and often goes North to buy goods. To this latter fact and the reports in circulation that the manufacturers of his machines had given a flag to some New York company, we attribute his arrest. We are now perfectly satisfied as to what Mr. Craige's sentiments are, and are pleased to know that he is honorably acquitted. We will

your readers, to hear from all parts of the Commonwealth in these times of excitement, I will occupy a brief space in your columns, in some "cottings" from this quiet mountain retreat. Left the White Sulphur Friday morning, where I breakfasted with a number of fellow travelers from Staunton, some soldiers on their way to join the Wise Legion, one or two members of the Convention from the Western border, who, feeling uneasy at the State of things in their counties, were hurrying home. The "White" never looked to me more beautiful. The village of Union and the surrounding country had subsided into their usual quiet after the excitement of sending off some four fine companies of volunteers, coupled with that more intense but shorter-lived excitement arising from the report that spread like wildfire, that the "Lincolniles" had entered the county and had fired the village of Centerville, &c. Persons of all ages in an instant forsook their homes, armed with guns, scythes, forks, and

ays: The Niagara is here now, and her appear- ance off this harbor bodes no good to the Secessionists, as her well known terrible armament will enable her to batter down their fortifications, and at the same time be beyond the range of their guns. She has already taken several prizes, one being the Southern privateer steamer William H. Webb, just as the latter was in the act of capturing a Northern brig called the East, of New York. The Massachusetts has also taken a prize off Kev West, the Etna, an English bark, loaded with rified cannon, &c., for the Confederates at Pensacola; she had already been there, but was ordered away by the United States fleet, strange to say, without inspection. Our vessel, (the Wyandotte,) is stationed at the East end of Santa Rosa Island. Shooting is Baltimore — a Fright. The Baltimore Exchange says: The fright of Colonel Phillips' New York Regiment on Sunday night, at Camden station, appears to have been attended with more s

ernity, of which he was a member. These gathered up the remains and conveyed them to a house in the rear of Thomas' factory, where a metallic coffin soon after arrived, and the body was prepared for burial. His assistant, Mr. Clayton, was found in a reclining posture against a post, doubled up as if he had suffered a fearful contortion. He was perfectly insensible, and so remained up to a late hour last night, but it was not ascertained to what extent he was internally injured. Drs. Wellford and Conway were summoned to the scene immediately after the accident, but their efforts proved unavailing to afford relief. Dr. Laidley was a native of Ireland, but for many years had been a resident of this city. He was about 30 years of age, and married his wife in the county of Nelson, where she now is. After the remains were prepared for burial, they were carried to Bosher's Hall, where a guard was kept over them all night by Lodge Francaise, F. M. The funeral will take place this
