at the Hon. Edward Stanley and his nephew, Capt. Fablus Stanley, U. S. N., have been arrested at San Francisco and lodged in jail. These gentlemen are natives of North Carolina, and it was suspected by the miserable Lincoln despotism that they were about to return to the States for the purpose of resuming their residence in the South. The Hon. Edward Stanley represented one of the North Carolina Districts in the Federal Congress for many years. A regiment of Choctaw Indians tendered Gen. Floyd. The following correspondence, which we copy from the Rockingham Register, of the 12th inst., explains itself. Of course the War Department will accept the offer of the services of this regiment of warriors, who are the very boys to assist in chasing the Yankees from the sacred soil of this proud old Commonwealth.

We take the following from the Savannah News, of the 12th inst.: The six Federal vessels at Tybee, reported yesterday, remained in the same position all day Tuesday and Wednesday. They seem to be doing nothing. Yesterday morning a squad of about forty, headed by an officer, visited Mr. King's place, when a shell from the Fort scattered them. At noon, another party, of about the same number, went over again, when another shell made them take to their heels. The Federals appear shy, and do not venture far from the protection of their ships. Their movements are observed, and it is thought something will turn up before long. We learn that yesterday afternoon two Federal gunboats attempted to pass through Hurlgate inlet, about two and a half miles from our batteries on Gree

ynchburg Republican dated "Army of the Valley, Winchester, Va., Dec. 9," we extract the following: There has been some skirmishing down on the Potomac below Martinsburg this last week. On last Thursday Gen. Jackson ordered four pieces of Pendleton's battery and four companies of infantry to Martinsburg, for the purpose of destroying Dam No. 5 on the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal, which would very much incommode the Federals; and on Saturday the battery took their position on the bank of the ked in a few days and destroyed, even if our men have to cross the river. There was another small force ordered from here last night towards the river, consisting of four companies of the 27th regiment and the two remaining rifle pieces of Pendleton's battery.

We learn that yesterday afternoon two Federal gunboats attempted to pass through Hurlgate inlet, about two and a half miles from our batteries on Green Island. Four shots were fired at them from a rifled cannon at Fort Sereven, when the vessels very prudently retired. The defence of Galveston — the Island Untenable. We find in the Houston (Texas) Telegraph, of the 2d instant, the following addenda to an editorial on the defences of Galveston: A council of war was held at Galveston on Wednesday last, the result of which has not definitely transpired. It is rumored, however, that the conclusion arrived at is that Galveston is untenable. In support of this rumor, the batteries on the beach have been removed; the powder and other munitions of war on the island have been taken to a place of greater security; a portion of the public records have been rem
