The Fourth at Amelia Springe. --The notice of some exercises recently at Amelia Springs, which appeared in yesterday's Dispatch, should have stated that they were in celebration of the 4th of July. They were admirably gotten up entirely under the direction of Mrs. Semple. The actors were little girls and boys, and a beautiful procession with the concomitants of Confederate banners, flowers, in wreaths, etc., in great profusion, were a part of the interesting scenes. The recitations and songs were happily adapted to the day and the time, and were rendered in excellent style by the bright and beautiful little children who took part in the exercises. At night fire works were introduced, and added much to the eclat of the celebration. Capt. McBlair, of the Navy, assisted in their exhibition. It was an error in awarding to Dr. Spotswood a place in the management of the interesting proceedings. That noble-hearted Virginian and true Southern man, whose greatest pleasure in life w

report we heard from passengers was that a skirmish took place on Saturday or Sunday between the pickets near Alexandria, in which six Hessians were killed and no one hurt on our side. It is probably the same skirmish mentioned in the Northern dispatches, below. We heard yesterday morning a rumor of the arrest of Col. Richard Thomas, of Richard, whose recent exploits have endeared him to every Southern heart. We did not credit the rumor until we received the Baltimore Exchange, of the 9th inst., which contains the following paragraph in relation to the matter: We learn that Mr. Richard Thomas, of St. Mary's county, and five or six other persons, were arrested on board the steamer Mary Washington as she was coming up the bay yesterday. The charges against them are believed to be that they were concerned in the seizure of the St. Nicholas a few days since. The party were coming up to the city as passengers, when they were pointed out by two spies on board the boat, and as
