The enemy's lines before Washington. The report of the enemy's raid upon the town of Gordonsville has been contradicted in time to present any undue excitement here, but it seems to have been the prevalent impression among the people of Orange county that Gen. Pope's army was coming down upon them in terrible army, dealing death and destruction at every step of their progress. The telegraph operator at Gordonsville caught the alarm and with the abrupt announcement, "I'm off," packed up his instrument and deported discontinuing, for the time being, all communication between the capital and a point whereon public interest so suddenly concentrated. A citizen, who numbered himself among the stempeders, telegraphed from the nearest station that the enemy had actually entered the town; but somehow or other nobody had seen the Yankees, and all information respecting their movements was necessarily vague and uncertain. Matters, however, soon assumed a more definite shape, and it was a

e following account of the conspiracy against Picayune Butler: There were four conspirators--one a young Crecle of twenty-four years of age. His father still living, and one of these who fought by the side of Andrew Jackson, at Chalmette, in 1815. The proofs against the men were sufficient to warrant their arrest, if not their conviction, and if convicted their capital punishment; for their avowed object was the assassination of the Commanding General of the Department. Again annate as to have a son who should have forgotten the worth and honor of his family, illustrated by one who had fought at Chalmette. Say to him that his son's life is freely given, to the father's prayer, and that because he asks it as a veteran of 1815; but it is given on the sole condition that he at once leave the soil of Louisiana, which, honored by the father, the son has thought fit to desecrate. Let the ocean be put between him and the Great Republic. Such crimes have been long unknown t

Miscellaneous. The wife of Rev. Mr. Baldwin, of Nashville of "Armageddon" fame, advised him to rot-in prison rather than take the cath of allegiance, at Andy Johnson's command and said that if he were to take the oath, she would never live with him again. Captain D. H. Liewellyn, Quarter master to Col. Morgan's regiment, was killed by bushwhackers, at or near Cascade Creek, in Roane county, Tenn., a day or two since. He was with a party of four men some distance in the rear of the squadron when, there is reason to believe, he was mistaken by the ambushed assassins for Col. Morgan. Three cars of wounded soldiers, of the passenger train on the Wilmington and Manchester railroad, were thrown down an embankment fifteen feet high, on Thursday evening. A captain had one of his arms broken in two places, and many were severely bruised. Mrs. Julia Butler, of Edgefield, S. C., died on the 9th inst. of grief, having heard the day before of the death of her son in battle.

This place we found on Washington street, in the establishment of our old friends Hardaway & White.--In the upper stories of this house we had a fair opportunity of observing, in comparative security, the array of gun and mortar boats, most of them being engaged the whole of that day and night in sending shell and shot at our batteries and into the town.

, and if convicted their capital punishment; for their avowed object was the assassination of the Commanding General of the Department. Again and again the old veteran had sought my intercession in behalf of his son with him whose life he had sought to take, but my feelings had revolted from the task. His three-score years, and his evident grief and anxiety, at length, however, prevailed with me, and I sought in his company and on his behalf an interview with the General. Speaking no English, he desired me to tell his tale. There was little to say, except that an old soldier had come to plead for the life of his son, perhaps already forfeited. The written proofs were placed by the General in my hands. I saw in them ample warrant for what had been done, and for a moment trembled for the result, fearing all intercession hopeless. Upon inquiry, the General was informed that the young conspirator was a Crecle — that he had always lived in Louisiana, and that the family,

A meeting of was held at Montgomery, Ala, on the 11th inst., to consider the murder of Mumford by General Butler, in New Orleans. After stating the circumstances of the murder, the resolution adopted says: Neither this, nor any other of the acts of that General has been disavowed by his Government, so far as we are informed, and it cannot be ignorant of his course of conduct. By its silence it sanctions these acts of Gen. Butler, and is responsible for them. Under these circumstances it is the duty of the Government of the Confederate Sta
