fficers. --Some little excitement was created yesterday morning, near the Second Market, by a difficulty between officers Perrin and Griffin on one side and two Confederate officers on the other. A row having occurred at a bar-room near the Theatre, Mr. Perrin took the creator of it, a soldier, to the station-house. On his way thither a Confederate Captain, claiming to be a friend to the man in custody, requested Perrin to let him off, as his furlough had just expired and it was his intenPerrin to let him off, as his furlough had just expired and it was his intention to leave the city on the four o'clock train.

Arrest of Dissolute Characters. --Officer Perrin yesterday arrested three bright mulatto women, named Anna Edwards alias Finn, and Eila and Sarah Brown — the first for using abusive and threatening language towards Jas.

These women were captured some months since by our pickets in the neighborhood of Cedar Run, across the Rapid Ann, and were after arriving in Richmond committed to Castle Thunder. Upon being arraigned for examination, no charges, were preferred against them, whereupon they were discharged. On regaining their liberty they rented a shanty in Exchange alley, and have ever since been keeping one of the most disreputable houses in the city. When arrested yesterday they appeared very indignant, claimed to be white, and stated to the officers that there were government officials here who would see that they were not imposed on, and also asserted that ever since they had been turned ou

Perrin, killed; Brig. Gen. Walker, of the Stonewall brigade, wounded in the arm; Col. Garnett, of the 5th N. C., killed; Brig. Gen. McGowan, reported wounded.
