C. S. District Court. --The jury summoned to try E. F. Husted, for an alleged attempt to bribe the Commissioner of Patents, assembled in this Court yesterday for that purpose, but were adjourned over until this morning. The respective counsel meanwhile discussed a number of law points raised in the case. In the case against Carrington and Ayres, to effect the property of alien enemies, their indebtedness to the same ($1,950 52) was ordered to be paid over to the Receiver.--In the case against Wm. Ira Smith, to effect the property of alien enemies, defendants' indebtedness ($14,192 89) was ordered to be paid to the Receiver. The cases against the Fredericksburg and Seaboard and Roanoke Railroad, to effect the property of M. Robinson, alien enemy, was referred to Commissioner Watson.
e House, as reported by the committee, without debats, which was agreed to. The remainder of the day was taken up by a lengthy and spirited debate on the bills introduced by Mr. Miles, of S. C., on the part of the Military Committee, and Mr. Foote, of Tenn., providing for the destruction of cotton and tobacco, and other property useful to the enemy, by our military commanders, and compensation to those whose property was thus destroyed. Messrs. Miles, Conrad, Foots, Curry, Baldvin, Smith of Va., Boyes, Pryor, Dargan, Beiakall, Davis, Russell, and Wright of Ga., participated in the debate. Mr. Curry said, if there be a man, or a woman, in Alabama, who is not willing himself to put the torch to every lock of cotton, rather than it should fall into the hands of the enemy, he hoped the Yankees might burn him. He did not approve of destroying property unnecessarily, and moved to amend the bill by substituting for the words "about to fail into the hands," &c., "when it may be
s. Black and Sweitzer. Our loss in officers is very marked. Indeed, the disproportion in numbers was so extraordinary, and the obstinacy of our troops so unyielding, that our losses were inevitably large. The artillery in both Porter's and Smith's divisions piled the Confederates in heaps. The fire was horribly effective. At Savage's Station the wounded already fill the great street of tents in the garden, and begin to pave the grass yard as after the Seven Pines. The same moaningetts troops beyond Gaines's mills had yielded the ground to numbers, and retired under order — burning commissary and other property before they went, and destroying a bridge over the Chickahominy as they crossed it. An attack in great force upon Smith's division was also made. The Vermont troops and New York 33d, and others, with Ayres's battery and Cowen's, repelled it with terrible slaughter. Super abounding in regiments as brave and resolute as tigers, the Confederates rolled their fr

bove the bend. Our devoted city will then be subjected to the merciless fire of fifty to sixty boats, carrying the heaviest guns manufactured. So far as we have observed there is no panic, no excitement; but with a heroism beyond praise our citizens unflinchingly view the demolition of their homes, and show to the enemy and the world that while we may lose all, even life itself, the priceless boon of liberty can never be wrung from our hearts. Our troops are covering themselves with glory, and Generals Van-Dorn and Smith are proving themselves to be the right men in the right places. Thank Heaven, the command of this department is now placed in hands in which the people can and do repose the utmost confidence. Last evening, about 8 o'clock, the enemy again renewed the bombardment of the day, and continued it for upwards of an hour, throwing hundreds of shell. We know of no damage resulting, except to a few frame tenements in the lower end of the city, and those but slight.
Miss Susan Archer Tally, the Southern authoress, who was arrested in April last at the house of Captain Smith, near Newport News, on suspicion of being a spy, arrived in Baltimore on Thursday from Fort McHenry, where she has resided for the past two months.
n, J. Randolph Tucker, Attorney General, his counsel, and the following spectators, mostly belonging to the battalion, viz: Wm. H. Eggleston, Sr. 1st. Lieut.; Jno. M. Sheppard, Jr. 1st. Lieut; Chas. C. Ellett, private; Sergeants Samuel M. Price and Dick Meredith; John Deoley, Captain; Wm. McCreery, private; John B. Danforth, Adjutant; Wm. Gordon, private; Thos. H. Hiltzheimer, Captain; John B. Glazebrook, Captain; Thos. How, private; Lieut. Thos. M. Alfriend, privates Joseph Rosenbaum, Wm. Ira Smith, John A. Belvin, and others.--These gentlemen were there either as interested spectators, witnesses, or parties arrested. The hearing commenced about 12 o'clock. The writ in the above case having been returned by Major Wilkins with the endorsement that he did not have the petitioner in custody at the time of issuing the writ, the Judge dismissed the petition, but intimated that should Mr. Anderson be again placed in position to evoke his aid, he would order another writ to issue, a
o the causes which led to these disfigurations. The case was continued to the 23d instant. A negro named Jackson, the property of Hubbard & Gardner, was arraigned on the charge of receiving a saddle valued at fifty dollars, belonging to Wm. Ira Smith, knowing the same to have been stolen. The case was continued to the 22d Elijah, a slave, for selling the saddle to Jackson which he had stolen from Mr. Smith, was remanded to jail till the same time. The case against Martin, a negro beMr. Smith, was remanded to jail till the same time. The case against Martin, a negro belonging to Dr. Jennings, residing near Richmond, for aiding negroes to escape to the Yankees, was, according to adjournment, again brought before the Mayor yesterday. Earnest efforts were made to have him discharged on the ground that he was a negroid did not know that he was committing any wrong in what he did; but the Mayor, very wisely as we think, took a different view of the matter and decided to send the accused on to the next term of the Hustings Court. Bail was asked and granted for t
