Exciting-Chase. --A deserter from Captain Marmaduke Johnson's artillery company, named John Keyser, alias Wm. Shultz, who has been a resident of Castle Godwin for the past five weeks, hit upon a novel expedient yesterday evening to get out of his imprisonment. About the time the day-god retired for the night, and things generally had begun to assume a dusky hue, Keyser blacked his face with soot from a fire-place in an upper story of the Castle, and set out on his pilgrimage, taking with Central Railroad. One of his pursuers, Mr. Fred. Shaffer, a warden at the prison, discharged a pistol in the direction of the flying fugitive, which seemed to accelerate his flight; but, being headed off by a number of citizens, the officer was enabled to come up with and arrest the fugitive, who was returned to the prison and appropriately punished for his conduct. Keyser is represented as being a hard case. Capt. Johnson has been unable to do anything with him as a member of his company.

ains in our army are enabled to do so much good. And, by the way, let me say, that my firm conviction is, that the great success of this army is due to the religious element which reaches every corner of it; whilst, on the other hand, I am very much disposed to fear, from what I have been told by officers who have served in the Army of Tennessee, that the lack of success of that army is due in a large measure to the want of religious influence upon the troops. Dennis Driscoll, of Marmaduke Johnson's battery, from Richmond, Va., was executed at noon Friday by shooting, for the crime of desertion.--His wife came up and took charge of his body and took it to Richmond for interment. Another sad warning to those who leave their country and standard without permission. The time was when Gen. Lee was disposed to look leniently on this kind of conduct. That time has now passed, however, and I believe that every sentence will be rigidly carried into execution. An amusing incident

ome three months ago, at a drinking saloon kept by the parties on Franklin street, and was caused by jealousy. Meade was severely wounded, but now seems to have entirely recovered. Mrs. Ould appeared in Court quite fashionably attired, wearing a jaunty hat, with any quantity of beads, bugles and lace. Several witnesses were called for the Commonwealth, but the only ones who responded were R. H. Meade, Edwin Tyler and Dr. White. None of the witnesses for the defence were present. Mr. Marmaduke Johnson, counsel for Mrs. Ould, stated that they had not had sufficient time to summon their witnesses, whose presence was necessary in order that his client might have a fair hearing. He therefore asked a continuance of the case. To this proposition the Mayor assented, and postponed the hearing until Thursday next. Mrs. Ould was admitted to ball in the sum of $1,000, with William J. Brown and D. D. Farquhar as sureties, and the witnesses for the Commonwealth were recognized to appear.

he proceedings at once commenced. The question being upon the motion of the prisoner's counsel to postpone the examination on account of her insanity, Mr. Marmaduke Johnson addressed the Court. He maintained that this was a trial, and by whatever name this examination might be called, this Court had no right to pass judgment hey did not ask the discharge or acquittal of the party, but merely a postponement of proceedings until such time as she was in a condition to understand them. Mr. Johnson spoke at considerable length and with much eloquence, describing the condition of the prisoner in striking language, and appealing to the Court in pathetic termudge Lyons to admit Mrs. Kirby to bail. The prisoner was attended during the examination by her three children and two female companions. The crowd in the court-room was very dense, and her incoherent exclamations were the only sounds that broke the silence of the scene during the delivery of Mr. Johnson's eloquent address.

be shot, several citizens of this county, in the month of March last. He was committed to the county jail for trial at the next Superior Court. Captain Wilson was severely wounded in the engagement just previous to General Lee's surrender, causing his foot to be amputated. He fell into the hands of the Federals, and has been under arrest ever since. The people of Charlotte are enrolling for protection against thieves, who infest that town. Messrs. Henry A. Semley, D. L. Russell and J. J. Yales were chosen Counsellors of State. This leaves three more to elect. The Methodist Episcopal Conference of North Carolina adjourned Tuesday night last, first passing resolutions of thanks to the Bishop, the citizens of Raleigh, the railroad presidents, and to Captain Garoutte, United States Army--the latter for his kindness in furnishing ambulances. A joint resolution was adopted, Tuesday, in the Legislature, asking President Johnson to restore civil law in North Carolina.

Commonwealth answered to their names:--R. H. Meade, A. J. Ford. Oscar P. Gregory, Miles F. Mathews and — Tyler. No witnesses answered for the defence, and Mr. Marmaduke Johnson, counsel for the accused, asked that the case be continued until Tuesday next. R. H. Meade stated that this case had been under investigation for thremonths; the witnesses for the defence failed to answer; those witnesses knew nothing about the shooting, but could only prove an intimacy in by-gone times. Mr. Johnson said that he hoped all the witnesses would be summoned, and required to appear. The only difficulty in the way of a speedy investigation was about the witnessehe case now or at any future time. He hoped that the Court would take notice of what this virtuous young man had said in regard to the accused. In conclusion, Mr. Johnson expressed the hope that the case would be continued. The Mayor thereupon continued the case until Tuesday next, and admitted the accused to bail in the sum

From Georgia. Milledgeville, December 14. --Provisional Governor Johnson has sent to the Legislature a dispatch, received from President Johnson, saying that the Governor elect will be inaugurated in a few days, and he would receive instructions in regard to being relieved, suggesting that he would issue no commissions to members of Congress, but leave that for the incoming Governor. It is understood that Governor Jenkins desires to know his real status before taking his seat. From Georgia.

By Johnson's Independent Agency. From Washington. Washington, December 14. --The Confederate bond resolution in the Senate was drawn up, I understand, because of the fact, that has recently transpired, that large purchases of these bonds had been made on the supposition that the United States would, some day or other, assume their payment in full or in part. The basis of this belief, I am told, is founded on the impression and opinion of influential legal talent, that, as a receiver of the assets of the Confederacy, the United States is responsible for the liabilities thereof. The Judiciary Committee will consider the resolution at an early day. The impression prevails here that Earl Russell, when he fully digests Secretary Seward's reply to England's refusal to submit the question of damages growing out of the depredations of the Anglo-rebel pirates on American commerce to a commission appointed jointly by the American and English Governments, he will reconsider h

Greeley makes a motion to admit the Southern members. --You who don't like all the views and acts of President Johnson, let us know what you propose to gain for black suffrage, and how you mean to secure it by breaking with the President. Admit that we shall not get on so fast as we might wish in his company, show us how we are to get on faster by making him our enemy. Bear in mind that we do not ask nor expect Congress to do whatever the President may propose — nothing of the kind. Congress has the same right to dictate to him that he has to dictate to Congress — that is none at all. But we cannot find fault with him for expressing his own views frankly — that being our own way — and asking Congress to consider them; just as we thought Congress had a perfect right to pass the Stevens resolve on the first day of its session before hearing from the President. Let the White House and the Capitol each speak its mind; let the two utterances be compared and weighed; let us s
