corner of the road, coming towards us. He asked me the cause of the firing in the rear, and whose premises we were on. I told him he knew the first as well as I did, but as to the last could give full information; that the house belonged to one Adjutant Whiting, who, just before, had sent a bullet whizzing by me, and shot one of my boys, and that my greatest pleasure would be to burn the rascal's house in payment. "Your wish will be gratified at once," said the Colonel. "I am ordered by Gen. Butler to burn every house whose occupant or owner fires upon our troops. Burn it." He leaped from his horse, and I upon the steps, and by that time three Zouaves were with me. I ordered them to try the door with the outs of their guns; down went the door, and in we went. A well packed traveling-bag lay upon a mahogany table. I tore it open with the hopes of finding a revolver, but did not. The first thing I took out was a white linen coat; I laid it on the table, and Colonel Duryea put a lig

ined at Old Point by the Lincolnites, and sent back to Baltimore. The kindness and courtesy extended to those in our city who wish to join the North, is in striking contrast with the illtreatment our people receive at their hands. One of Gen. Butler's female informants, availing herself of the last flag of truce from this city, was found to be the bearer of two letters from men in Portsmouth to Gen. Butler at Old Point. The letters gave full accounts of our numbers, description of our foGen. Butler at Old Point. The letters gave full accounts of our numbers, description of our fortifications, of points preguable — in fact, an entire description of everything available to the enemy. Among other things, they stated that free speech was restricted here — that they dare not utter sentiments treasonable to the South, for fear of arrest; but that they held a "thinking club," held meetings often and thought what they pleased. They also gave the names of the immortal 75 who voted against the Ordinance of Secession, and urged an immediate attack upon Norfolk. The names of th

n. The wheat harvest is now in progress, and promises a good yield, though there is some complaint of the smut. This reminds me of an old enemy to wheat (the Hessian fly,) which is thought to have been introduced by the Hessians in the Revolutionary war. The same enemy, under a different form, seems lately to have been committing ravages on the wheat fields around Hampton, and in the neighborhood of Great Bethel. Some thought it was the army worm, but those who ought to know, say that General Butler's Hessians were the evil doers.--The farmers of the Peninsula have at last found both the cause and cure of the complaint; for when the question is asked, "What makes the Hessian fly?" the answer is, "Col. Magruder's masked battery." In examining the other day a history of the Mexican war, by the present General Mansfield, (now one of General Scott's right-hand men in Washington city,) I was struck with the following magniloquent laudation of General Scott after the battle of Churub
