Brutality at Fortress Monroe. The lady mentioned some short time ago as having received heartless treatment at For tress Monroe, by the officers, being ordered to leave by 10 minutes notice, is the wife of Lieut. Sarad, who was ordered out in the Brooklyn war steamer, with his corps. He refused to go and resigned, and thus the treatment of his wife, who is the daughter of the late Capt. Alex., G. Gordon, of the Navy, and niece of the late Capt. Wm. L. Gordon, of the Navy, native Virginians, two as brave and efficient officers as the Navy could boast of.--Mrs. Smead had four small children with her, but the noble-hearted people of Hampton and Norfolk sympathized with and provided for her. A mark should be made on those brutal officers.

Convicted of forgery. --James E. Carter was put on trial before Judge Lyons yesterday for forging the name of Lawrence S. Marye on Alex, Hill, for a pair of boots. The accused plead not guilty. After hearing the testimony, the jury retired and brought in a verdict of guilty, assessing his term of imprisonment at two years. The trial of another case against Carter was then proceeded with. In the second case he was charged with forging the name of A. W. Thomas to a check. On this he was found guilty, and awarded the same measure of punishment as in the first case. A motion submitted by him for a new trial was overruled by the Court. Mem.--On the trial of the above cases, the prisoner introduced Charles Smith (who is awaiting trial on sundry charges of forgery) to prove that he (Carter) got the check signed Thomas from said Smith. The latter declined to answer positively, when Carter flew in a great passion, and for a time there was unusual commotion in the Court-roo

Victor Emmanuel and Alex, Dumas. The following sketch of the King of Sardinia from the pen of Alexander Dumas appears in the Independence, of Naples: Victor Emmanuel, who looks like a man of about forty years of age, is frank, sincere, vigorous, temperate, an early riser, and a keen sportsman with gun and dog. He bears the fatigues of a long day's shooting better than many of the most active mountaineers, and he generally starts on such excursions before sunrise. He makes a very light breakfast, merely a piece of bread and a sites of cold meat or cheese, which he eats like a peasant, without sitting at table; but he always makes a hearty dinner, laying aside all etiquette, without court or chamberlains. On Sunday, the day of general receptions at the palace, the doors are thrown open at 11 o'clock, and anybody who feels disposed may enter till three. If any person desires a private audience, he must apply by letter, and on the morrow or following day he will surely ob

n in one surrendered for ages to despotism; and in a community supposed in theory to be jealous of their liberties, and ready at every moment to defend them, rather than among a populace long hopelessly immersed in the night of absolute despotism. The fact is, that the Northern people never felt in themselves the capacity of self-government; and their whole history during the existence of the late Union proves that they never possessed the faculty of self-rule. The result has shown that Alex. Hamilton was a wiser man than he was esteemed to be in his lifetime; that, so far as the Puritan race is concerned, he was correct in his belief that the experiment of Republican institutions must fail; and that his policy was eminently expedient which looked to a gradual transformation of our government into a monarchy resembling that of Great Britain. Whoever has read his plan for effecting this metamorphosis, usually denominated his "Thorough," will at once confess, in the light of subse

We have been requested to state that a paragraph in the Washington letter of a city contemporary, published yesterday, relating to the capture, by the Hessians, a few days since of Francis K. McLaughlin, son of H. C. McLaughlin, Esq., formerly of Alex and Rita, but now of this city, may lead to erroneous impressions. The "lad" never was a pet of Daniel Sickles — but his father living in sight of the Washington jail, where Sickles was confined for his cowardly and unavenged assassination of Key, was moved by compassion to visit him every morning, and usually carried with him a bouquet. He was not "a pet" of Sickles, because he used to tell him that he ought to "have shot his wife before he shot Key." As to Mr. Highland being a spy of Lincoln our in formant is not positive; but he is certain, from a letter we have seen from Major Beale, in command at the Hague, that Highland has returned to the Virginia shores after a week's trials and exposure in the woods, and, no doubt,
