Charged with Insurrection. --A negro named Thomas, the slave of Mrs. Charlotte Wright, was brought before the Mayor yesterday, charged with giving information to the enemy, and with making use of insurrectionary language. It appeared that Tom has been running about for a long time doing pretty much as he pleased; going to his wife's at Mr. Smith's, in Henrico, near the Meadow Bridges when he pleased, and coming back when it suited him. Last week Mrs. Wright threatened to hire him to some of the hospitals, when he refused to go, saying that the Yankees would soon have the city, when she would be humble enough, and showing her a pass which he said hankees, rinsed to go. Mr. Smith said this was all he knew about the matter, and he had thought it proper to state it. He knew nothing of what had passed between Mrs. Wright and the negro.

one--so strong, indeed, that I hope Gen Lee will be able to give him battle upon some other field. A reconnaissance was made yesterday afternoon to ascertain the true position of the enemy's left wing. Pegrant's brigade, commanded by Col Edwin Willis, of the 12th Georgia, alone was engaged. A sharp combat ensued, in the course of which it became necessary to charge upon one of the enemy's batteries, with a view to its capture. The brigade behaved handsomely, and was gallantly led, but unfortunately Col Willis received a mortal wound in the groin from a grape shot, froth whish he died this afternoon about 2 o'clock. He was one to the best and bravest officers Georgia has ever sent to the field, and one of the most promising, morally and intellectually. He graduated a short time before the war broke out at West Point, and served some time with General Jackson, who was so much impressed by his merits that he recommended him for the appointment of Brigadier General. Indeed, young

Washburn (search for this): article 10
A New Order of Affairs at Memphis. --Gen C C Washburn, the new commander at Memphis, has issued the annexed order: The practical operation of commercial inter course from this city with the States in rebellion has been to help largely to feed, clothe, arm and equip our enemies. Memphis has been of more value to the Southern Confederacy since it fell into Federal hands than Nassau. To take cotton belonging to the rebel Government to Nassau, or any other foreign port, is a hazardous proceeding. To take it to Memphis and to convert it into supplies and greenbacks, and to return to the lines of the enemy, or place the proceeds to the credit of the rebel Government in Europe, without passing again into rebel lines, is safe and easy. I have undoubled evidence that large amounts of cotton have been and are being brought here to be sold, belonging to the rebel Government. The past and present system of trade has given strength to the rebel army, while it has demoralized a

our line, his position being opposite, at the time, to the colors of the 49th regiment of Pegram's brigade, and only a few yards from where your correspondent stood. Not a word did he say, but simply took off his hat, and as he sat on his charger I never saw a man look so noble, or a spectacle so impressive. At this interesting moment, our gallant Gordon, spurring his foaming charger to the front, seized the reins of Gen Lee's horse, and turning him around, said, "General, these are Virginians!--These men have never failed! They never will! will you boys?" Loud cries of "No !" "No !" "Gen Lee to the rear." "Go back!" "Go back!" "Gen Lee to the rear!" hurst from along the lines; and as one led the General's horse to the rear, Gen Gordon gave the command, "Forward, Charge!"
