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. The regiment was raised mainly through the agency of Col. George E. Deneale, of Rockingham, Va., who spent six weeks in the Choctaw nation, haranguing the people until thei

The consequence was his remova In the evidence of Belknap, he mentions George Sanders, a well-known traitor, as one of his advisers in the purchase of the 100,000 muskets.

Southwestern Virginia. It seems that the enemy are again threatening our lines of railroad in the Southwestern part of the State. We copy from the Lynchburg Republican of yesterday morning the annexed paragraph: We have some very discouraging rumors again from Southwestern Virginia. The enemy is said to be advancing rapidly and enforce on Dublin and Wytheville. We think these rumors exaggerated, and we advise the people not to be alarmed. It is the evident purpose, however, of the enemy to out to pieces our railroad, and destroy our resources of army supplies if he can. Our Government must prevent it at all hazards, and it ought at once to re-instate General Floyd to the command in that quarter. The postmaster of Wytheville endorsee on his post bill to this city that the enemy is 1,200 strong at Gilles Court-House. This we suppose is his strength in that quarter. We cannot believe the rumors that there are from ten to fifteen thousand Yankees in Western Virginia.
