THE CASE OF CAPTAIN JoNEs.-Ye Yesterday writ
of haheas corpus was sued out by the wife Of Capt
Jones, Of the sloop Isabella, seized on Wednesday
night for attempting to sail with a cargo Of sup
plies for the feet off Pensacola Jones arrested
and imprisoned in the guard-house. The writ was
made returnable before the Hon. G. W. Rapier
Judge of the Circuit Court. w. G. Easton, Esq
appeared for the prisoner, and Solicitor Summers
for the Government.
The Sheriff stated to the Court that S. Charpen-
tier, Chief of Police, refused to obey the writ.
The counsel were preliminariIy proceeding with
this statement when the Chief of Police appeared
with the prisoner andsated to the Court that Capt
Jones had been placed in the guard house by Lieut.
Homer, commanding the Continentals, for safe
Keeping; that there was no commitment or charge
against him lodged at the guardhouse; that he
understood the prisoner to be accused of viola
ton of the military law; that he hardly knew how
to act as he did not consider him in his custody,
although the writ directed to him, but that of
Homer, who, he believed, was acting under the
orders of Gen. Bragg that he intended no dsre-
spect to the court and hoped it would be so con
sidered.
It appearing that Lieut. Homer had not been
notified of the existence of the writ of habeas cor
pus, Col. Summers stated that the Government was
not ready to 60 into an investigation of the case
then, and asked to have it laid over till to-day.
This was resisted by Mr.. Easton, who commended
that there was no legal cause for his detention and
that he should be discharged. The court ruled to
continue, whereupon the defence asked to be al
lowed to enter BAIL which was resisted.
After good deal of argument the court allowed
the defendant bail in the sum of $500 for his ap-
pearance to-day at IL o'clock.

The Grenada Rural Gentleman Of Saturday last


The Grenada Rural Gentleman Of Saturday last
says:
There has been quite cold time of it for a
week or so for this season. There have been
several heavy frosts in the meantime, by which we
much fear, the fruit has been seriously injured, if
not destroyed.
The planters in this region have been favored, in
every way, for preparing the ground and getting
corn planted.
The Pamela Star Of Thursday says:
We have had severe cold winds during the day,
and heavy white frosts every night for two weeks
past. The fruit is badly injured, and will hardly
make half crop, from present appearances.
The Lexington Advertiser of Friday says:
The weather for the past week has been exceed
ingly cold again, and ice and heavy frosts have
been abundant Vegetation has been no doubt
greatly injured.
The Yicksburg Wing of Friday has the follow
ing
Mr.. Daniel Clover, of Kinds, attempted, yester-
day evening at the Washington Hotel, to commit
suicide by shooting himself in the head with pis-
toll. From what we could learn, there is no hope
of his recovery, as the ball penetrated the skull.
He was able to converse but assigned no reason
for his rash act.

[From the Norfolk Herald of Monday.
Great Excitement In the CITY.

On Saturday and Sunday The greatest ex-
citement prevailed in the city. Troops were
hurrying to and fro, and every one anxious
to know what Was to be done, but unable to
obtain the desired Information. The rumor
was that the Cumberland was about to sail
from the Navy Yard, and preparations were
made TO prevent her
AT IL o'clock an officer came from the yard
bearing flag of truce and was conducted to
Gen. Taliaferro's headquarters at the Allan
tic Hotel, where consultation was held,
which resulted in promise from the com
mandani Of the yard, Com Macauley, that
none Of the vessels should be removed nor d
shot fired except in self-deiense This quieted
the excitement but it was renewed at a later
hour, when il was ascertained that the Ger
mantown and Merrimac had been scuttled,
and that the heavy shears on the wharf at
which the G.. was lying had been cut away
and allowed to fall ndships across her decks,
carrying away the main topmasts and yards
II was also perceived that the men were
buisilv engaged in destroying and throwing
overheard side and small arms, &c, and other
property, and boats were constantly passing
between the Pennsylvania, Cumberland, and
other vessels The assurance Of the commo-
dore, given by his officer at the truce inter-
view, however, tended 10 ailay the apprehen-
sion Of an immediate collision. But the con-
tinued stirring movements at the yard soon
rendered it certain that it was the intention
OF Macauley 70 destroy all the buildings and
and other property there--and il was there
fore with not much surprise that about mid
night, after two or three slight explosions,
the light of q serious conhagra ration was OBJ
served at the yard. This continued TO in
crease, and before daylight the dcmon-work
OF destruction was extended TO the immense
ship-houses known rs A and b. 1.-THE former
containing the entire frame Of the New York,
a. which had been on the stocks unfinished
for some thirty-eight years,) and also TO the
long ranges Of two-story Offices and stores on
each side Of the main gate Of the yard. The
dames and heat from this tremendous mass Of
burning material was set by southwest wind
directly towards the line Of vessels moored
on the edge Of the channel opposite the yard,
and nearly all of these, too, were speedily
enyelopcd in flames.
The scene at this time was grand and terri
ic beyond description. The roar Of the con-
migration WAS loud enough 10 be heard at
three or four miles.distance--and TO this were
added occasional discharges from the heavy
guns Of the Pennsylvania shp-of- the-line as
they become successfully heated These guns.
il is asserted were double-shotted aud direct
ed At different parts Of the yard for the pur-
pose Of cnsuring IFS complete establishment.
This, however, Is certaiu--that if all her guns
had been thus prepared and directed the
" burnt district could not have been more
completely cleared Of appurtenances.

HAMPERS FERRY We learn from reliable
authority that the arsenal alone at Harper's
Ferry has been burnt and one workshop in
the yard. All the other workshops, contain
ing valuable machinery, were saved. About
three thousand muskets in a nearly finished
state, only requiring to bcput together, were
recovered, besides large quantity ofunfnsh-
ed portions of muskets in different stages of
preparation. 5000 stand of arms had been
saved from the fire by the citizens and secured
IN their honses. They were all recovered by
the troops. The machinery, which is of the
greatest Importance and in a complete state,
is being transported to Richmond as rapidly
as possible.
