een adequately provided for by the government, and that his State has been neglected for the benefit of others. He asks heavy guns; and says half the armament hurled against Charleston would suffice for the capture of Wilmington. A protest, signed by the thousands of men taken at Arkansas Post, now exchanged, against being kept on this side of the Mississippi, has been received. The protest was also signed by the members of Congress from Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas, and Missouri. Capt. Causey, of the Signal Corps, writes that there are only a few battalions of the enemy on the Peninsula; but that rations for 40,000 men are sent to Suffolk. Gen. Lee announces the crossing of the Rappahannock at Port Royal (which the Yankees pillaged) and at places above Fredericksburg. Gen. Stuart is hovering on their flank. A great battle may happen any moment. L. E. Harvey, president of Richmond and Danville Railroad, asks for details to repair locomotives, else daily trains (freigh

men were placed behind the fences and houses in the neighborhood of Hockney's. Colonel Allen, taking the colors of his command in his hand, rapidly drew up his command in line, which, at his call and example, rushed, under a galling fire of grape, canister, and Minnie, across the field. There was not a shrub, even as a screen, upon it, and over the three hundred yards of that open space the foe sent many a missile of death and shaft of anguish within a hundred yards of the cannon. Lieutenant Causey, of Buffington's company, and commanding it, fell, shot through the brain. No victim in this great struggle against fanaticism and the principles of rapine and spoliation, leaves to his family and friends a brighter memory for chivalrous courage and unsullied patriotism. A few yards further on Lieutenant-Colonel Boyd fell, shot through the arm, and was borne off the field. In a moment or so after the enemy retreated, leaving two cannon and a Lieutenant, and eight or ten prisoners in

Aaron Cleaveland and Mr. Samuel Kendal; for which consideration, they have covenanted and agreed with the said town of Charlestown to keep the half of the bridge and the Causey aforesaid in good condition for ever. Causey aforesaid in good condition for ever. We pray that, in case the before-described lands are laid to said Medford, it may not be subjected to any cost or charges on account of the before-mentioned part of said bridge and the Causey adjoining.

sed his balloons constantly to overlook the Confederate positions, and seemed to command a view of everything that was done, but, strange to say, the information from this source seems to be the most unreliable of all that misled the Federal commander as to his adversary's numbers and movements. General Johnston was much more accurately informed, although the character of the lines was very unfavorable for secret service. A very daring and successful scouting expedition was made by Lieutenant Causey, C. S. A., who was put ashore by a boat at Sewell's Point, on a rainy night, and remained a week within the enemy's lines. He then got possession of a skiff and returned on another favorable night, bringing very accurate returns of the enemy's force and full information of his siege operations. The dangers of the flank on York river, and perhaps some apprehensions of the effect upon his earthworks of the enemy's one hundred and two hundred pounder rifles and thirteen inch mortars,

ing a game of cards for money. They got into a dispute, when the unknown said he would take the stakes, whereupon Harris took off his coat and laid it on a chair, preparatory to a passage at arms with the unknown. The muss did not rise to the dignity of a fight, and Harris, on looking for his coat, found it at the bottom of the stairs below, minus the pocket-book. A witness, who was in the room, testified that immediately on Harris pulling off his coat J. P. Smith seized it and left. Messrs. Causey and others of the Eastern District Detective Corps, testified to visiting rooms occupied by Smith, at the Franklin House, opposite the Old Market, where, between two beds, they found the pocket-book, with the papers, but no money in it. Smith had previously told Dan Hardesty, who kept the saloon for the other Smith, where the pocket-book might be found. The accused said he did not steal the pocket-book; that the man who did had written him a note not to tell where it was before he could
