FROM THE REBEL, CAPITAL
Extracts from Richmond and Other
SeceAh Journals,

From the Richmond Wing, June 1871
The business Of CONSUMPTION has begun In
Richmond. Col J. G. Shields, who is COM
mandant at the camp Of instruction, Camp
Lee, as such, las authority. to appoint enroll
ing ofheers In every town, city aud county OF
the commonwealth, and to forward them to
him at the camp aforesaid. Major Thomss ].
Moneiure has been appointed enrolling officer
for the city Of Richmond. His office has not
jet been regularly opened, though for the
past two days be has been doing business in
All Office near the corner OF HAN aud Ninth
streets. We presume when he shall have Oh
talned IN Office, he will adopt some better sys-
TEN than that already attempted. Persons
who have exemptions had better report at
once to The major aud avoid the inconveni-
ence Of being arrested by the patrol; and we
would suggest that it would be no more than
just to citizens than 10 allow them do7 OF Or
two to come up and report themselves before
the system OF foTcible arrest is resorted to.
YANKEE SPIES.
tFrom the Richmond Wing, June 1s.1
We ART Informed that the paragraph from
the Petersburg Express, relat1ve to Yankee
Spy having been seen in this city, copied By
rs yesterday, is true, except that the place
at which he Was seen Was the Exchange, and
net the American, and In the parlor, instead
Of at the dinner table. His name is Dsnnison:
At Warrington he Was Seward chief detect
ige- He was recognized by the little dsugh.
ter Of Mrs. GrEtnhoW, who has been in-
6tTuctea hy ler mother while in Washingt N.
to make herst1f familiar with such characters
The sbrewd rascal, It eeems, recognized the
little girl at the same time that she discovered
him, when she ran to give the Intelligence to
her mother, he disappeared. This fellow is
remarkable for his etaTerneE1 and cunning,
and has no doubt before this put Mcclellan n
Possession Of much that he desired to know.
The event should be an ad1nohi;ion to our
own detectives and guards-and to tile people
generally. Let all be on the qus vive, aad let
every I'ersUn who has the least atmosphere OF
doubt about him be required to give an ac-
count Of himself
The Richmond papers Of June Is furnish
these items:
a lieutenant Of tie c. s. l. apppeared 5es-
terday at Castle Goodwin, and in the presence
OF Capt. Alexander, the custodian Of that in
stitution, read to three Of the inmates thereof
court-martia1 now in session. The accused,
who have been on tria; for several days, were
all me1i4bcrs of the Purcell Battery. Two OF
them, John Wilson and Henry Smith, had
been fouud guilty Of deserting from their
company. The sentence Was, thst each OF
item should have his head shave, be branded
on the lett thigh with the letter D. aud then
ut drummed out Of camp. The third prison
er, whose name is John Squires, WAS found
guilty of-attcmptlDg te1 desert to the enemy,
and sentenced to be shot to death IN the usual
manntr, Oh Monday, June 10. We understand
that al Of the sentences will be carried into
execution on that day In reference to Squires
VIC may say that we heard, prior to knowing
anything ct his trial, that on q recent occs-
elon, when his company was between Rich
1noDd and Fredericksburg, Whi1e acting as
guard to wagon train, he stealthily left his
eom'a2dgs, some of whom, sqspecting his de-
sign followed him for more than mile, and
found him on the edge Of 3 river, calliny to
the enemy, who we're Oh the other side, to
boat aud take him oil. They thereupon
seized him. His fate, while it may be consid-
cred terrible, is yet necessary Us au e1aHlple.
During the recent freshrt in James River,
owing to the rapidity IT the current, onc OF
the sunkcn STEAMBOATS, WAS turned comp mpletely
around, ~Aereupou the wheels OF the boat
commenced revolving as usual on her upward
and downward trips on James River, to the
smuseuent Of the s:slwart guuners, who
stood by ready to dispute the enemy passage
upward with bail and powder. The reyolu-
tions of tho wheel ceased when the down cur
rent lost its power.
Rev. Mr. Dickinson has sent MS copies of
the following new tracts, which We hope will
be widely rehd: "The Living Oracie,' by
Rev. L. ". Sec1ey, D. D., an admirable pro-
duction, and "Ii4uor and Lincoln" by ply
Eician, which VIC hope will decrease the
receipts Of those who traffic in liquor, for it
is an eaTnest ard feFvent appeal tn soldiers to
resist the usurpation Of This tyrant as wsll as
that Of Lincoln.
THE DEPARTURE OF LORD LYONS.
{Frum the Richmond Dispatch, June 161
Lord L: ons has undoubtedly gone to Eng
land. What was The cau6e Of bis departure
seems not to be known, while at the sams
time the fact OF his going has given rise to q
thousand conjectures. 4 New York journal
says be goes to persuade his government not
to recognize the INDEPENDENCE Of the confed-
eracy, in; smuch rs Seward and Lincoln will
crush cut the rebellion in a few days. This
shows. at any rate, what Lincoln aud Seward
wish the Yankee people to think. We doubt,
however, whether he has gone on any such
mission, although ii it is pretty certain that he
is no friend to US. II he has, however, We
think he will meet With an adversary in the
Lancashire famine abundantly able to neutral.
jze ali the arguments be may use. Another
rnmtr is 1hat he demanded his passports be.
fore he left Washington. This we doubt, fol
tic simple reason that there is no cause o1
quarrel between the Yankee aud English gov.
crnmcnts, so far as We know, It is probable
he goes for reasons Of q nature altogether pri
yhte.
