He was badly wounded. The Norman cotton factory, belonging to P. Miller, located near Boliver, Tenn. was consumed by fire on Thursday night last.--Loss, $25,000, without insurance. John Bigelow, late editor of the New York Evening Post, has, it is stated, been appointed consul at Paris. It is a salaried office, paying $5,000 a year. There is no authenticated statement in regard to Garibaldi's offer of his services to the Federal Government. It is probably a canard. John Williams, a Baltimorean, has been arrested at Boston and sent to Fort Lafayette, New York, on suspicion of being an agent and officer of the Confederate States. The vestry room of an Episcopal Church in Philadelphia was robbed last Sunday, during the hours of service, of a black silk robe and scarf, a vest and a gold watch, belonging to the officiating minister. George B. Crittenden, of Kentucky, late of the United States Army, has been appointed a Brigadier General in the Confederate A

ed to the United States Court- Houses to await further developments. The prisoner acknowledges that he came here under a false name; that his real name is John Williams, and that he has held a commission (that of Major, if we are correctly informed,) in the rebel army. He says he is a native of Baltimore, and that for severaollect a paragraph published several days ago, which stated that a Secession officer was known to have been in Washington. This is probably the individual. Williams is a smart-looking man, about thirty-five years of age, at present very reserved and silent, and evidently of that character naturally. He has no baggage with he a few letters of marque with him, with which to tempt the unprincipled. A letter was found at the post-office, dated Richmond, Va., June 21, and directed to John Williams, Boston, which looks as though he was expected to be here. Recognition of the Confederacy.

The arrest in Boston. --A few days since we announced the arrest, in Boston, of Mr. John Williams, a citizen of Norfolk, Virginia. We are informed that he left home about a month ago, for the purpose of taking his child from Baltimore. What induced him to go to Boston we are unable to say; but whether business or pleasure, he is now paying the penalty of his rashness. His wife is in Norfolk, and much distressed in consequence of his situation. For a Southern man to visit the Iniquitous city of Boston, in times like the present, is equivalent to offering one's crisis to be encircled with a pair of Yankee bracelets.

by the consolation that one so good in all the duties of religion, cannot be expected to fall short of the Kingdom of God. Peace be to his ashes. The Rev. William A. Smith preached again last night at the Granby street Methodist Episcopal Church, and it is but fair to say that in point of fervent reasoning, far exceeded any previous effort. On Friday, Sewell's Point was again attacked by the guns at the Rap Raps. Four shells were fired, resulting in no harm. The wife of John Williams, Esq., the man arrested in Boston, as mentioned in another letter, has gdno to Baltimore, having obtained a permit from General Huger to go down on a flag of truce. She is greatly distressed. Her husband's father and brother went on to Boston and New York, but were not allowed to see him. The case of Hughes, for the murder of Lieutenant Adams, comes up for a final trial shortly. We understand strong efforts will be made by the Commonwealth to convict the prisoner. The firing

The ladies are bound North--Mrs. W. hoping to get her husband released. If the Kahukee is held by Wool, and those on board imprisoned or detained as prisoners of war, a speedy retaliation should be forthwith commenced. The affair causes much excitement here, and many think that another great outrage has been committed by the Federal authorities.--It is possible, however, that an accident has happened to the boat. The steamer Arrow has been sent down with another flag of truce to ascertain the particulars. Recently Mr. D. B. Dunbar, a printer,

arer, M. L. Comann, some very exciting and interesting news from the Sandy country. You are aware that our forces in that section were under the command of Col. John Williams, and that he had evacuated Prestonsburg, and taken a stand some few miles this side. (This information I communicated to you in my last epistle.) On last Ts determined to give the enemy a chance to show their bravery. But before they advanced very far, our men fell back to Pikesville. On arriving at Pikesville, Col. Williams ordered Capt. May, and some other Captain, (Mr. C. falls to recollect his name,) with some 400 men, to return, and give them battle at the place named. This t same day, another little fight took place, some 12 miles from Pikesville, on John's Creek. Here the enemy were endeavoring to make their way into the rear of Col. Williams, in order to cut off his supplies, and the artillery supposed to be on its way to Col. W. Our force here numbered some 200, under command of Capt. H. Harris.

Day before yesterday six or eight Yankees made their appearance on the opposite side of Greenbrier river which runs on the westside two miles distant from Havener's. Lieut. Hurt and private Williams, of the Pittsylvania Cavalry went forward to ascertain the numbers of the enemy; but proceeding incautiously, they were captured. The neighborhood, as well as the camp, were speedily aroused. Cols. Ramsey and Hansborough, who happened to band good looking.

Promotion, &c. [special Correspondence of the Dispatch.] Norfolk, Nov. 20, 1861. Reliable information has been received here that eight thousand Federal troops have marched into Accomac, on the Eastern Shore of Virginia, and taken possession of the county. Large forces were expected yesterday in Northampton county. The Confederate force being very small, and almost entirely without arms, but little resistance was made. A letter has been received here from Jas. Reilly, John Williams, Patrick McCarty, and Archibald Wilson, formerly of this city, privateersmen of the Florida, and who are now confined in the Tombs, in New York. They state that they are in great need of clothing and money, and appeal to their friends for assistance. Their trial will not take place until next April. It is hoped that the needed help will not be delayed. The Methodist Conference commenced its session here this morning, at 9 o'clock, Dr. Wm. A. Smith presiding. Bishop Andrew is exp

the Apprehended attack on Norfolk — Movements of the Federal fleet-- a good invention — release of John Williams, &c. Norfolk, Dec. 17, 1861. During the past week it was widely rumored that Norfolk would surely be attacked. Indeed, so sanguine were some that the prediction would come true, bets were freely made; but as yet they have not made their appearance. Nor is it probable they will for some time to come, as they are little disposed to undertake an adventure to onate brethren in Charleston. Appointments were made in the several wards to collect funds, and no doubt a good sum will be realized. This heavy calamity upon the good citizens of Charleston must excite the deepest sympathy of us all. Mr. John Williams, whose arrest and imprisonment in Fort Lafayette has been mentioned, we are glad to say has been released, and is now with his family in Baltimore. He is under bonds for $10,000 not to return again to Virginia, or take up arms against the
