Arrests by the Provost Marshal's force. --Among the parties committed to McDaniel's jail on Saturday was James Mandville, of Delaware. It appears that this party had frequently been in the habit of coming into Virginia on some business, the nature of which was unknown. He last crossed the Potomac on the 2d of March, and was taken in custody in Fredericksburg and brought to this city by an officer. A female prisoner, in the person of Miss Ann E. Scott, of Leesburg, Va., was also brought down and lodged in prison on Saturday. Her arrest was ordered by Gen. Hill.--She claims to be a native of this State. A number of persons not soldiers spent Saturday night in "Castle Godwin," for being partly in uniform, without being able to furnish a reasonable excuse therefore.
The Yankees are indulging their thievish propensities with a vim in the region of country adjacent to Newbern. They are visiting the farms and carrying off negroes by hundreds. Mr. Daniel Perry has lost all. Mr. Jacob F. Scott's farm was visited, an officer compelled the negroes to hitch mules and horses to wagons and carts, and 25 negroes, all he could get, were carried off. One hundred of widow Bryan's were carried off in the same manner--81 from Mr. Oldfield; 35 from Mr. McDaniel; all of Mr. Fosone's, besides those of dozens of gentlemen whose names we need no record.--Raleigh Journal.

Alum water. --This liquid is said to be admirable for dressing gunshot and bayonet wounds, having a tendency to keep the wound free from inflammation, and being remarkably soothing. It has been applied with great success to all the patients in the hospital established by Captain Alexander in the City Arms Hotel, on 15th street. It can be procured fresh and cool, in any quantities, from wells at Jno. B. Davis's stable, Franklin street, and at McDaniel's jail, known as Castle Godwin.

The Legislature. --Nearly the whole time of the two Houses of the General Assembly, yesterday, was spent in the preparation of business for future action. A communication from the Governor was received transmitting a report from Capt. McDaniel in reference to river defences. The Governor recommends that Capt. McD. be allowed the privilege of explaining his plan before the Military Committees of the two Houses. The message of the Governor and the report of Capt. McDaniel were appropCapt. McDaniel were appropriately referred. A large number of resolutions of inquiry were offered in both Houses and referred to the several committees, among them one to provide for the suppression of the traffic in gold by State legislation. In the Senate a resolution was adopted restricting, as far as practicable, the legislation of the extra session to the topics embraced in, and the subjects recommended in, the Message of the Governor. In the House Mr. Robinson, of Berkeley, offered a resolution for t
inson, Mr. English, of Henrico, Mr. Dyerly, of Roanoke, and Mr. Burwell, of Bedford, the three latter members of the Legislature of Virginia. But the most popular speech made on the occasion seemed to be that of a gentleman from Kentucky, named McDaniel, who voluntarily asked permission of the meeting, as a mechanic and a refugee from Kentucky, and as one who had been in the service ever since the war began, to occupy about ten minutes of their time. Some portions of this gentleman's remarks wthe large number of well dressed and well fed Maryland refugees skulking about this city, who had come over to Dixie from patriotic motives, but were unwilling to shoulder a musket in defence of the South, were also dealt with they deserved. Mr. McDaniel advocated the propriety of compelling all foreigners to go in the service or forcing them to leave the Confederacy; in these days of scarcity and distress it was as much as we could do to take care of those who were aiding us in whipping the i
