Here another aid from the same General dashed up to say that "the General says he will inevitably be driven from his position unless reinforced." I heard Gen. Lee say: "Tell the General I have no reinforcements to send; to hold his ground if it is possible." Turning to Bob, he continued, "Yes my son, we must drive those people back! Tell your Captain I want him to take his gun over to the left again" He then rode on, and we pitched into the fight again. Alluding to his refusal of commissions, the correspondent says: Time and again he has been solicited and urged to accept commissions with easy and honorable position on staff duty; but he has invariably declined — assigning as a reason that he did not think his father approved of inexperienced boys holding positions over men; that he reckoned he would put him in the way of getting a commission when he considered him deserving of it. Added to his many other virtues, like his father, he is a consistent, humble Christian.

ing been arrested for drunkenness and disorderly conduct in the streets Sunday morning. The Mayor intimated to Mrs. P. that she could get outside of a glass of whiskey with about as much facility as anybody he had ever seen. The most confirmed toper, "or any other man," could not excel her in the practice of the art of absorption. William Allen, white, was arraigned for violently assaulting Wm. Palmer, a free negro. The case was continued till the 29th instant. Fuller, slave of Christian & Lea, was ordered twenty lashes for stealing a lot of meat and bread from the Arlington House. Henry M. Dock was arraigned for "walking arm-in-arm" with Mary, slave of Mr. Sheppard. An undue absorption of spiritous liquor had produced the eccentric conduct complained of.

rd was convicted before the County Court of King William county of making a murderous and unprovoked assault on Atwell F. Pitts, manager on Mr. Aylett's farm, on the 30th of last January. His trial took place on Monday, April 27th, at King William C. H., resulting in his condemnation. Shortly after committing the offence for which he suffered he was brought to Richmond for safe keeping, but was carried back on the day of his trial. The accused, who was a stupid, stolid, and vicious-looking negro, had persistently refused to say anything of the reasons that induced him to attempt the murder of Mr. Pitts until yesterday, when the near approach of death unnerved him, and he made a full and free confession to Rev. Mr. Christian, of Union Station, his spiritual attendant. The above execution was known to but few at the time of its occurrence. A dozen persons were present — not more. The culprit died easy, and on the same gallows on which Louis Napoleon was executed some months since.

his native wilds in Africa; subjected him to all the horrors of the middle passage; brought him to America; sold the half-baked savage to the Southern planter; "demanded" and received the highest cash price for the article; and from his first introduction into America down to the very day of the dissolution of the Union, were the only Americans engaged in the slave trade. They have built up their factories and commerce by his labor, and in the meantime, the chattel having become civilized Christian, and industrious, they naturally desire to steal him back, so that they can sell him again to Cuba at the increased valuation which he has derived from his Southern residence. Having taken all the trouble to bring him from Africa, and had him properly educated in a school of civilization, who can deny that they may properly "demand from him whatever services he can render?" Nor does another proposition of the philanthropic Banks admit of question. "The Government makes use of mules,

well appall any one acquainted with the "temptations and besetments" of that city. If any foreign journal or Southern newspaper were to utter one tenth part of the statements contained in the address, or expose a moiety even of the misery and rank rottenness in which the sub society of New York fairly stews, there would be one universal burst of indignation from Central Park to the Battery that the fame of the metropolis should be so blotted and belied. Nevertheless, a New York young Christian, addressing his associates, speaks of "the surpassing sinfulness of the city, not so much to feed curiosity as to stimulate missionary zeal," and, with the same laudable motive, we note a few of the fields for missionary labor presented in the address and existing in the city. And here is the directory: In a resident population of nearly 900,000 souls (and bodies) there were received last year into the charitable and correctional institutions of the city 57,931 persons; 41,299 persons
