rst, who visited Europe for the purpose of making special arrangements for direct importation of drugs, medicines, &c., and whose arrest in New York has been reported recently, has arrived in Charleston in full health and vigor after his difficulties.--Mr. Wineman has made ample arrangements in Europe for future business. The lancets and potash which were stolen from him by the Lincolnites will, we think, be fully covered by the sequestration act. Shot by one of his men. The Charlestown (Va.) Free Press, of the 12th inst., says that Capt. John Henderson, captain of the "Home (cavalry) Guard," was shot by one of his soldiers named Miller, on Sunday last. The shot was an intentional one, but we have not learned the cause for the commission of the act. Miller has been sent to Winchester and placed in the hands of the civil authorities. The extent of the wound, and the result of injury, cannot at present be known. The ball entered the right shoulder and passed through.

Melancholy event. --Our community says the Charlestown, Va., Free Press, of Thursday, was greatly shocked at the intelligence of the death of Mr. Lawrence Lee Berry, of Charlestown, son of the Rev. R. T. Berry, aged twenty-two years. He was a member of Capt Moore's "Botts' Grays," and was shot on Saturday morning last near Munson's Hill, whilst on picket duty, by some of the Federal fiends who stealthily approached him. He received two wounds, one in the thigh and the other in the right breast, causing instant death. Mr. B. was an estimable youth, and gave much promise of usefulness. To his bereaved father, (who was absent and was deprived even of a last look before his body was committed to mother earth,) and his affectionate relatives, the heartfelt sympathies of our citizens are extended. Mr. B.'s body was brought to town on Sunday afternoon, and on Tuesday afternoon interred in the old Presbyterian burying-ground. We learn that the two wretches who killed Mr. B. met t

not win. The Missourians are rallying to him in mass. By the latest, though perhaps exaggerated statements of the Lincoln presses, he has now 40,000 men under his command. This distinguished man is sometimes confounded with Thomas L. Price, of Mo., once a General in the militia, and many years ago Lieutenant Governor of the State, and now a supporter of the Lincoln Government.--They are antipodes in many respects, particularly in politics. More Federal depredations. The Charlestown (Va.) Free Press, of Thursday, says: We learn that some 60 or 100 of the Federal forces crossed the Potomac river at Harper's Ferry, late on Saturday night, and ventured as far this way as Halltown. Three of the Confederate pickets fired upon them, when they scampered in double-quick, dropping, in their flight, a number of chickens which they had stolen from Mr. Patrick Hagan, living about two miles from the Ferry. They also appropriated to themselves two of Mr. Hagan's horses, and on

Sandy Hook, Md., Feb. 28. --While attempting to cross the ferry, during the gale yesterday, the boat swamped, and five soldiers and one citizen were drowned. The ferryman, who was with Rohr when shot by the rebels, was the only man who escaped. All the rebel families are evacuating Charlestown, Va. Three companies of rebel cavalry are the only enemy in night. They are about three mile from the city. Spirit of the New York Press. The following interesting paragraph appears in the editorial columns of the New York Herald: Poor Greeley's troubles are never ending. He has been misrepresenting and vilifying Gen. McClellan for several weeks back, with a view to having him replaced by some other General, whose conservative tendencies were not supposed to be as decid

t Edwards's Ferry.--His body is on the way to this city, where his widow resides. Gen Lander had every attention which his old and well, tried friends around him could bestow. His death was somewhat sudden. It was not until 5 o'clock this evening that his wife received intelligence of his illness. General Shields succeeds General Lander in command. Gen. Banks's division. The New York Herald, of the 3rd, says: Gen. Banks's division still rests in the vicinity of Charlestown, Va. No accident or interruption marred his advance. The condition of the country from Harper's Ferry presents the usual appearance of agricultural prosperity. Negroes are flocking in to the nes of General Banks in large numbers.--Various reports as to the movements of the rebels at Winchester were circulared, but as they come from refugees and contribands, no reliance is placed on them. in the camp at Charlestown.

eyes were closely bandaged. He is led from place to place, and attracts universal interest. When introduced to Lincoln a flood of fears gushed from his eyes. Lincoln grasped his hand with warmth, and said we owe to you, sir, the preservation of our navy. I cannot thank you enough. No one at the Navy Department could give any answer to the telegraphic dispatches which came thick and fast, asking who, on board the Cumberland and Congress, were killed and wounded. A dispatch from Charlestown, Va., on the 10th, says, that Winchester has certainly been evacuated. At Baltimore, on the 10th, Gen. Dix announced that for the present no more passes will be granted to parties for the South. A dispatch from Fortress Monroe, on the 9th, says that Worden of the Monitor was wounded by fragments of shell, and his eyes filled with powder driven through the lookout holes. He was stunned and carried below. The naval authorities at Washington are quite confident that the Merrimac was

Negro invaders. The people of the South have been unwilling, from the first, to admit the startling fact that the Yankee Government ever contemplated the invasion of her borders by the armed colored population of the slave States, in the prosecution of her plans of subjugation. This fact, humiliating as it may be to humanity, and shocking to civilization, has at last been demonstrated by the organization, in Washington, D. C. of two regiments, and in Charlestown, Va., of one or more companies, who are drilled dully after sundown, and instructed in the manual of shooting down their owners. This is the secret of the running off of the male slaves of the Valley. It is a pity that Virginia's eyes have been closed so, long to the real designs of the Lincoln Government. They are now opened. Blindness is no longer an excuse for suicide.

The right of free speech Vindicated in Massachusetts. some noticeable extracts from the speech of Mr. Sennott, for the defence. The discharge of the Gordons, who were arrested in Boston for treasonable language, was published yesterday. Their counsel was George Sennott, who, it will be remembered, defended Stevens and Haslitt, of the John Brown "army," at Charlestown, Va. His address in behalf of the Gordons contains the following noticeable extracts: The right of free speech. I declare before God that, as I understand that right, I value it more than I do my life! And I call this whole country to withins if I have not before now proved the sincerity of this declaration by my actions! And the rights indicated at the hazard of my life before a tyrant, I will not give up, for the sake of to a Yankee sneak. Neither shall the Their case is .
