where an Irishman lived, who had been twice

but several gallons of liquor were found on
his premises, and his wife said that her
husband got mo dispute with a soldier who
had been drinking freely, and took his gun
and shot him. Capt Sloan was sent in search
of the murderer and traced him 10 the river.
The captain then gol some cavalry sent out TO
search for him towards the mountain, and
they brought him in the nextmorning, and he
was placed under guard.

MASON AND SLIDELL.-Our telegraphic lis
patches give an account of the capture of two
OF The foremost ringleaders of rebelion,-S

Sunday Herald Of yesterday has reached us,
from which we take the following particulars
and statements -
"When Mr. Russell, the London Times cor.
respondent heard of the arrest of Slidell and
Mason, he remarked IL would like to have
seen poor Slidell's face when he was arrested &;
surely he must have looked very funny Mr..
Russell said nothing about the overhauling OF

No special instructions had been given 10
Capt, Wilkes in reference to the arrest of Ma

but general orders for their arrest, emanating
from the navy department bad been issued to
the officers OF our naval vessels. These orders
were based upon information that the rebel
commissaries had sailed in the Theodore

The news caused great excitement in New
York, and the masses of the people regarded
the capture of these traitors as the best thing
that has been done. The Herald says

We shall linger TO cares him,
While we breath our evening prayer
When year ago we gathered,
joy was in his mild blue eye,
Bur golden cord is severed,
And our hopes in ruin lie.
At our lresde, sad and lonely,
Often will the bosom swell,
AT remembrance OF the story,
How our noble Willie fell;
How he stroye to bear our banner,
Through the thickest of the fight,
And upheld our country's honor,
With the strength Of manhoods might.
True, they tell us, wreathes of glory,
Eyermore will deck his brow,
But this soothes the anguish, only,
Sweeping DER our heart-strings now.
Sleep to-day, 0 early fallen!
In thy green and narrow bed;

Miugle with the tears we shed

We shall linger 10 caress him,

On Monday placards were posted in Norfolk
that on Wednesday a flag Of truce would visit
Old Point, and all persons having passes FROM
headquarters, by registering Their names at
the may ors office, would be permitted TO leave
the city. Iu half an hour after the announce
ment was made public, large crowd Of per
sous besieged the 2yOrS Office for the pur.
pose OF registering their names. Before noon
the crowd became so dense and excited that

ter one hundred and twenty names Had been
entered, the book was closed by orders OF
Gen. Huger, who would permit but twenty
one persons, two-thirds ol whontSwere ladies',
to quit the place This caused great excite
ment among the disappointed, and had it not
been Tor the presence OF the soldiers consider
able mischief would have ensued. The retu.
gees picture deplOrable state of matters IN
Norfolk and vicinity. The approach Of win
ter is beginning TO strike terror to the poor,
who only picture to themselves starvation in
its most horrid form. Provisions Of all kinds
have suddenly advanced to enormous figures.
Butter is selling at 65 cents per pound, ba-

INTERESTING FROM THE SOUTH



The Columbia correspondent Of the CHARLES.

the legislature, that the large number Of troops
raised ind mustered into the confederate 81 +.
vice from South Carolina, it is believed, will
render reorganization Of our r.iltia impeIa.
tive Liberal APPROPRIATIONS are needed to meet
the present wants of the stale. The few
members who have arrived seem to argue that
there will be extra work enough, politically
and financially, to keep the legislature busy
until ,he tiiue Tor the sitting Of the regular
session, The chief topic of interest is the
election Of senators. The two most prominent
names mentioned are those OF the Hon Robert
w. Barnwel and Hon. james Chestnut 1t is
thought, if they consent to serve, that these TWO
VIII unite the various interests ct the state.
The Hon. r. B. Rhett, Hon. w. w Boyce,
the late Spt aker OF the United States house of
representatives, Hon. (now colouel) James l..
Orr, are also put prominently forward by their
friends. The popular will inciines TO Mr..
Boyce, more particularly in consCque OF
his warm advocacy OF direct taxation and free
trade during his brief but brilliant congress

There is no doubt the people are ready for
this measure at once. Ii, rs some say, we are
TO meet the expenses Of the war, let each one
know his proportion, aud let US meet that
proportion knowingly and directly through
taxation rather than the Indirect channel of
customs and revenues, the prolific sources of
so much corruption and abuse. General
(shanks) Evans, in consequence of his DASH
ing, brilliant fighting at Leesburg, with an
undivided command and no superior officers
to advise HIM, has been dubbed here The
Murat Of the Revolution. His praise is in
