Point of Rocks, Md., Jan. 28.--Last night the monotony of camp life was varied by a theatrical performance in camp, tendered by a corps composed exclusively of members of Col. Geary's regiment, and to which a large number of citizens, with their families, together with Gen. Banks's staff, with their ladies, were invited. A rustic stage, with a drop-curtain and dressing-room, was erected near the centre of the camp, the whole enclosed with canvas. In front of the stage and in the form of an amphitheatre were seats for three hundred persons, and surrounding this were a succession of camp-fires, tending to dry and rarify the night atmosphere, as well as to add to the romance of the entertainment. Special trains brought delegations of spectators from Sandy Hook, Frederick, and intermediate stations, a very considerable portion of whom were ladies, escorted by their male relatives and officers of rank. Not less than two hundred ladies lent their charms to grace the occasion. On

Adventures of a Rebel Heroine. Norfolk, Va., Jan. 22.--Miss Poole arrived here last evening in the flag of truce steamer, and we had the pleasure of an interview with her. She is an intelligent and pleasing lady, and withal possesses a fervor of patriotism which no tortures of the enemy could dampen. Our conversation with her convinces us that she is a true Virginia lady, and we congratulate her upon her escape from the thraldom of Lincolndom and her restoration to Southern soil and society. Miss Poole was arrested in Wheeling on the twenty-eighth of September last, by order of the Secretary of State, charged with conducting a correspondence with the Southern rebels. On account of indisposition she was not removed from her home, but was allowed to remain in her room — a guard being placed at the door of the same, and also a guard on the outside of the building. The door of her chamber was securely locked, and the key taken by the officer of the guard. Previously, however,

Jan. 16.--The army telegraph now consists of over one thousand miles of wire stretched through the different camps, from the headquarters of Gen. Hooker on the left, running towards the right wing till it reaches Hancock, Maryland. One hundred and ten Mr. Eckert, the Assistant Superintendent in charge of this Department, has run a separate line to the Headquarters of each general commanding a division. For instance, Gen. McClellan can sit at the table in his private house, and talk to the different generals, all at one and the same time, and independent of one another. When any division moves, the line can also be extended, as each division has a corps of builders, and a supply of wire, poles and insulators always ready. In several divisions each brigadier — general has an instrument upon the line, and is in direct conference with his immediate commanding general the whole time. Large wagons have been provided for the operators and their batteries to travel in, with sleepi

Munchauseniana. Memphis, Jan. 9, 1862.--A mercantile firm here has received a letter from a friend in the south of Kentucky, stating that the Federal Government had made clandestine arrangements, and pardoned convicts and desperate characters of the North, to scatter them through the South, and set fire and burn everything, especially manufactures and machine-shops. The Unionists were paying them liberally for such work, believing it a good mode to cripple the South. The information was obtained from a party employed under the Federal Government, and was communicated to warn the South. Twenty Union officers resigned at Cairo on Saturday, and have gone home. Memphis Appeal, Jan. 9.

Richmond, Jan. 16.--The joint resolutions submitted a few days since, in the Virginia Senate, by Mr. Pate, in relation to the reclamation of Western and North-western Virginia, were taken up and unanimously adopted. The resolutions declare that in no event will the State of Virginia submit to, or consent to the loss of a foot of her soil, etc., and are designed to reassure and encourage the loyal people of the invaded sections. On motion of Mr. Finney, of Accomac, the preamble was amended by striking out the specific locality, and made to include all the invaded counties.--Richmond Dispatch.

Frankfort, Ky., Jan. 16.--We have just learned from a reliable gentleman, of Newcastle, the circumstances of a very unusual occurrence in that place just before Christmas, which we deem it proper should be placed before the people of Kentucky. Some forty or sixty negroes, all slaves, had been engaged in killing hogs for one of the citizens of Newcastle at night. About that time, and after the work was over, they paraded the streets of the town in a body, between the hours of ten and twelve, uttering all sorts of disorderly sounds, singing political songs and shouting for Lincoln. They seemed to take especial pains to make their unusual and disorderly demonstrations in front of the residences of one or two promiment Southern rights citizens. They continued their tumultuous proceedings for an hour or so without interruption from either officers or citizens, and finally dispersed of their own accord. We deem it due to the peace and security of the Commonwealth to give this inf

Richmond, Jan. 2.--Quite a number of new-fangled flags are exhibited in the window of the Despatch office. The latest picture, which is gotten up with great care and neatness, represents a tri-color--three bars of equal width running horizontally — the lower black, the middle purple, the upper white, with stars in it. The black bar is designed to notify mankind that the confederacy sprung from Black Republicanism. Hah! How would a buzzard, sitting on a cotton-bale, with a chew of tobacco in his mouth, a little nigger in one claw, and a palmetto tree in the other, answer? Nothing could be more thoroughly and comprehensively Southern.--Charleston Mercury.

Richmond, Jan. 4.--It is not generally known that by the flag of truce which leaves Norfolk almost daily for Fortress Monroe, persons in the South may communicate with the North. Hundreds of letters are frequently carried in this manner; but all are carefully examined both by the confederate and Federal officers. To prevent the abuse of this privilege on the part of those who are inclined to fill twenty or thirty sheets of letter-paper, Gen. Huger has issued an order that hereafter no communication will be sent which covers more than an ordinary-sized page. All reference to political or military affairs must be carefully avoided, and an inclosure of three or five cents made to secure transmission. The outside address of the epistle should be, via Norfolk and flag of truce. --Richmond Dispatch.

Jan. 14.--Twenty-four wagons, designed for the conveyance of the baggage of Gen. McClellan and staff, have been prepared. They all have matched horses, and the words, Commander United States army, are painted on the canvas of the wagons. N. Y. Commercial, January 16.

Raleigh, N. C., Jan. 1.--We are glad to be able to state that the powder-mill near this city has gone into operation. It is capable of producing a large amount daily, and the government will doubtless obtain a portion of its supplies from this mill. It is under the immediate superintendence of Messrs. Water-house & Bowes, we believe.--Raleigh Standard.
