pairs on Pleasant street, $l02 60; Michael

A CovINGToNIAN ARRESTED AS A SPY.-H
is rumored about town that Mr.. Robert Pat
tonawho left this city month or two ago to
join the rebels, has been arrested by them at
Prestonburg, Floyd County, Ky, charged
with being Federal spy. Report says that
sum of money by the rebels to purchase
horses with, but being seen subsequently in
close conversation with Union men, was sus-
pected of disloyalty 10 the rebel cause, and
placed under arrest.
RuMoRs-Quite a variety of rumors have
been current in this city during the past
three or four days, in regard to a battle
said to have been fought between Rosu-
seau's advance guard and the rebels, on
the line of the Louisville and Nashville Rail
road. The wife of Captain Alf Martin re.
ceived dispatch day or two since, request
| ing her presence in Louisville Immediately
This fact has led some to give credence to
the rumors of an engagement. We think
however, that there is no probability of 8
battle having been fought in that section.
OMIssIoN.-In the particulars given yester
day of the affair al Springfield, Mo-, the
names OF the private soldiers wounded in
Captain Foley's company of cavalry were
omitted. They were as follows: Diggins

NEWPORT NEWS.

Cry CouNcm.-The Board met at the
usual hour last evening.
A petition for coffee house license was re-
ceived from Julius Sandhus. Referred.
Mr.. Morris offered resolution, which was
adopted that the City Clerk be authorized TO
notify all persons who have purchased lots
in the Newport Cemetery, and have made no
payments thereon, or but partial payments,
that unless payments be made in full within
three months from this date, the Council will
then proceed TO have the bodies removed
from such lots to the Public Burying ground
Mr.. Conlan offered the following, which
was adopted:
"ResoIved, That the Committee on Poor be
and are hereby directed to cease granting
relief to the families of volunteers, in con-
junction with the U. o. CLUB, as per resolu-
tion of September %, until otherwise di'
rected."
The passage Of the foregoing resolution
needs some explanation. II will be remem-
bered that $500 was donated by the Council
few weeks ago, for the families Of volun-
teers. 1t was designed at the time that the
relief thus extended Should be enjoyed only
by bona 6de citizens of Newport, but since
the passage Of the ordinance, recruiting ofH-
cerB here have been holding out the idea to
recruits that any one enlisting in regiments
forming here, no matter where they hail
from, will be entitled TO the same benefits
accruing from t4e ordinance as actual resi-
dents. Large numbers of the First and
Second Kentucky Regiments, now in West
ern Virginia, write home to their FAMILIES in
this vicinity, that they are entitled to receive
fair share of the.$ $780, which was not in
tended by Council. The amount alreRdy dis
tributed to the families of volunteers il $l5l.
A. KilliDgher was granted license tokeep
eoffee-house, at $l5.
License to psddle lic1or was grante1 to
W. p. Pfafflin and J. Walker & Co.
TIE HOP AT TIE 'BARRhcKs-Parties who

ment at the Garrison last evening as having
been q very brilliant one. The number
present was not large. A magnificent sup
per, prepared by Mr.. Roth, of the st. Mich.
olas, Cincinnati, was spread before the guests
at twelve o'clock.
DEsRRTERs.-We learn that there have been
ten desertiOns from Camp King and four
from Camp Webster lately. Three of the
latter have been arrested.
We were in error yesterday in stating that
Hyle did not enlist for three years. He was
sworn in for that terms and his refusal TO
serve is equivalent to dessrton. He is now
| in custody.

WOODS THEATER-Mss Elite Henderson.
The exciting and novel drama, The Patriots
Dream, was reproduced last night to a very
fair assemblsge, at Woods Theater. AL
though many of the performers are not 80
familiar with their parts as they would be in
some older pieces, the tableaux are so ad-
mirably presented that The Patriots Dream
is really the most attractive performance of
the season. 1t will be preceded this evening

It has been judicially decided in Boston
that a contract of enlistment does not bind a
man if he was drunk when he entered into
it. The case came before Judge Dewey, on
the petition of Mary Finn for the discharge
of her husband, soldier in the regular army,
on the ground that at the time of his enlist
ment he was so drunk as not to know what
he was doing, and that as soon as he became
sober he repudisted the act, and asked to be
released from its obligation. These ahega-
tions were sustained by evidence, and the
Judge held that an enlistment was but 9
contract between the Government and the
individual, that it implied an asserting mind
on the part of the individual, and that per-
SON so drunk as not to know what he wa:
about was incapable of legal assent. The
court accordingly ordered the discharge o
the man. This ruling is of general applica
ton, and it should admOnish recruiting Of
fceTs not to enlist any man when intoxi
Gated.

George D. Prentice has proved himself an
incorruptible patriot. Among the many
schemes for carrying Kentucky out Of the
Union was a perseveriug attempt to buy
Prentice, or failing in that, to buy his paper.
He was first approached with the modest
offer of $4,000, which was, of course,
promptly declined. The anxious buyers,
thinking perhaps their bid had been below
Prentice's estimate of his honor, increased
their offer, and through an old political
friend, since quartered at Fort Lafayette, he
was informed that $4,000 was in a Louis
vile bank, subject to the draft of George D.
Prentice, provided the Journal was hence
forth conducted according to certain terms.
An increased severity upon the Disunionists
in the columns of the journal was the re-
sponse to this proposal. Next came a rail,
road man from the far West, who eschewed
all politics, and wanted an influential paper
to support the Pacific Railroad enterprise
He would give Prentice $2b0,0OO for the
Journal. This bid was too low, and George
D. Prentice remains unbOught and unpur
chasAble.

HAMILTON COUNTY DISTRICT COURT.


CASES DECIDED To DAY.-Ann Gerard Us.
Jacob Gerard. Judge Sutliff announced the
opinion of the majority of the Court to the
effect that the plaintiff, who filed a petition
for alimony on the ground of ill treatment,
had made out a case TO entitle her to the re-
lief sought, the Court being of opinion that
the feelings of the parties, arising out of past
inharmonious relations, left no hope now
that they could live happily together. The
alimony awarded was the payment of $75
forthwith, and $50 half yearly.
Judge Mallon dissentad-being of opinion
that no case was made out and that the bill
ought to be dismissed.
The HEALTH OFFIcER's CLAIM AGAINST
THE CITY.-The case of DR.. NJ. B. Wright,
whose case was allowed an alternative writ
of mandgnus against the city, came up for
bearing. The petitioner claims that after
the City Council had passed an ordinance
creating Board of Health, and appointing
him Health Officer, at a salary of 900 per
annum, improperly withheld from him the
salary and appurtepances of his Office, hav-
ing, shortly after the passage of the above
| ordinance, passed another ordinance abol-
| ishing the Office. The case was submitted on
both sides without brief or without argu-
ment.

THe-PuyIoiued Instructions,

The story of the theft Of the sealed orders
is like the lawsuit of the kettle the kettle
was cracked when it wa1- borrowed; the
kettle was sound when it' was returned;
and the kettle never was borrowed. Orlike
the case Of the embargo of the Potomac:
the Potomac was closed by rebel batteries
the Potomac was-not closed byrebel batteries
and there wers no rebel batteries on the
Potomac. The orders were stolen the or
ders were not stolen and there. were no Or
ders. The last report is that the great expe-
dition sailed without orders; and this, until
it is contradicted, nGst be taken for true.
A correspondent Of the New York Tri-
b1tne, writing from Fortress Monroe, gives
the last version Of the story of the robbery,
which contains SONG. curious particulars:
"Tha case of dessrtion by an officer of the
Navy, referred to in my last as having some
thing to do with the, delay, has assumed q
shape more substantial than floating rumor.
Though it was rumcred at first that the ab-
| sconding individual was in the confidence of
| one of the chief officers of the expedition,
| and carried away with him papers describing
the plans and destination, think that be-
yond the fact that he may have possessed
himself of the code ofsignals to be used he
had DO other information than what sharp
observer and curious qpestioner might pick
up. Even that may have been considerable
more than is pleasant to have fall into the
han ds of the rebels. Il is said that the sig
nails have been changed. 1t is furthermore
represented that the dsseTter is a relative of
! a member of the Cabinet at Washington, and
was recently appointed, These are the prin-
cipal points Of the gossip ahoat, of which
there is not a little"

Charles Anderson Heard From.

Our citizens no doubt remember Mr..
Charles Anderson, or, as he was sometimes
termed by his political opponents, "White-
haired Charley" He removed to Texas about
three yearsago, and when the rebellion began,
before Texas had seeded, he was heard from
a strong Union man, but, unfortunately, the
rebels have him prisoner at last.
The Richmond Enquirer of October "a con-
tains the following extract
"Charles Anderson, brother of General
Robert Anderson, of Sumter notoriety, who
lives in Texas, lately concluded to sell out
and remove to Kentucky. He started from
San Antonio, and proceeded toward Mexico.
When twenty seven miles out on his pious
pilgrimage he was overtaken by detach-
ment of our cavalry, sent for that purpose by
Colonel H. E. Mccullough. Mr.. Anderson is
now prisoner, but his family started for
Ohio last Thursday, by way of Matamoras.

Army TranspOrtaLiOu-A screw Loose In
Missouri

Missouri.
BY the following from the ST. Louis Re
publican, it will be seen Uncle Sans wagons
are in the sutler service, to the neglect of the
Government transportation:
Notwithstanding most ample provision
was made by General Fremont for the sub
sistence of his army, in anticipation of his
march TO the South west, there is danger
that the men may suffer for the want of the
provisions that were provided for them.
A gentleman who has Just returned to
this city from the Southwest, brings US
very discouraging accounts Of ths manner in
which the supply trains are managed. There
seems to be great confusion and irregularity
in sending forward provisions to the army.
The men have marched two and three days
together with beef only to eat. They had
neither -four, bread Dor salt, yet the wagons
OF the supply trains were groaning under the
weight of suitable food for the poor soldiers
But, unfortunately, the wagons were far in
the rear. Whose fault is it? Surely there
must be fault or neglect of duty somewhere
1t is said that there is no lack of suttlers
'nicknaCks," and report goes that they are
even transported on time in Government
wagons
The complaints on account of the vexatiouI
delays of the supply trains are loud and earn
| est among the officers and men.
| 1t is a serious matter, and we earnestly cal
the attention of the proper officer to it. The
efficiency of a division-indeed of the whole
army-may be destroyed by neglect or failure
to supply in proper time the necessary sub
sistence. We are informed that there are
horses, mules and wagons in untold number:
at Upton, Syracuse and Sedalia, and ware
houses filed with army rations. Why, pray
are they not moving forward Why havt
not the supply trains been kept within reacl
OF the army
