Vim. Brent of Richmond arrested some days
 ago as spy, at Bladensburgh, Md, was on Fri day released from jail on his parole of honor by order of the Secretary of War, he having satis- fled the authorities, through responsible parties that he was good Union man, and had never
 had any i'll designs against the Government. He took the oath of allegiance.
 AN intelligent contraband was brou ght before Gen. Scott on Friday, and detailed much valua- ble information. He entered the federal lines Thursday ght, escaping from his master an Alabamanian, who had whipped him severely. He says that there were five regiments Thursday morning immediately in and around Fairfax Court House, with eighteen pieces of field artil- lery in all, and twelve pieces in battery. The three most advanced regiments are from South Carolina. From the Court House back to Cent erville the woods are lined with disunion troops. Their baggage, &c.,, from Fairfax station, has been carried back to Manassas Junction., and they are all now bivouacking nightly, though on a march. This is, of course, in preparation for an attack from us. They have batteries commanding every approach by road to the Court House, and trees felled in all the neighboring woods. The Fifth Alabama Regi- ment, made up entirely of beardless boys is camped at the intersection of the Braddock road with the road from the Court House to Fairfax Station.
 SINCE the death of Capt. Ward the Freeborn Ihas been under the command of First Lieutenant Lowry. few days since, Lieut.. Lowry stood within hundred and fifty yards of Matthias Point, and treated the secession troops. who were visible peeping through the neighborinr bushes and woods, to about twenty shells, some of which fell, evidently among them, scattering them in different directions. Three shells struck a house, tearing big holes through. It is clear u that there IS no battery whatever at Matthias to be busy at their batteries Why don't gov ernment destroy these batteries?

having acquired the profession Of the
law. went two or three years ago TO
Louisiana to practice Li- profession. He
ha- just c>caIed from secc-sia, and pas
sed through thi, place yesterday 10 his
home. We did not nave the pleasure Of
seeing him personally, but he called upon
and took DINNER with one Of our intelli-
gent compositors. who was a former ac-
quaintance. From this source we learn
that the Union feeling in Louisiana Is
still strong, and only awaits a favorable
opportunity to manifest itself
This young gentleman states that the
Chief Justice of Louisiana has recently
held that secession is treason. We are
not able TO learn the occasion Of the deci-
sion, nor how it was received, but the
fact that such an opinion has been pro-
mulgatcd from the Bench 10y its highest
judicial officer. j. an Indication Of the Ia
tent strength Of Uuioni-m in that State
When it l. remembered that the vote Of
Louisiana, on the question Of secession.
WAS in favor Of the. Union by clear ma
iorirv. and only carried tor secession by
