On Tick. --The Bard of Avon tells us that "Time doth transfix the flourish set on youth, " and in the case of Lazarus Simpkins, arrested on Saturday by the Provost Guard, the quotation is most appropriate. About the 4th of last May, so Mr. Samuel Noble, of Mecklenburg county, states, he entrusted to Simpkins a silver watch to sell for him, but the accused preferred obtaining a loan for himself, to raise the wind to come to the seat of war, and so disposed of the property.

The next, morning they continued their march cowards Lawrenceville, by way of Burnsville, and a part of them encamped last night about eight miles northwest of the former place. They appear to be making their way back to the main body of the army. Very respectfully, etc., R. E. Lee, General. Christiansville, mentioned in the foregoing dispatch, is in Mecklenburg county, about twenty miles southeast of Staunton river bridge.
