Z IoEDoN A DIX OF CRMINALs.-The
British metropolis has for some time past
been kept Ia constant state Of alarm by
tho holiness with which the criminal
classes have pursued their avocaiion.
Not only have the suburbs been infested
with set az daring burglars, but in the
most public ihoroughfare the garroter has
carried on his muvderous work, even in
the afternoon. Nervous citizens arm
themselves 10 the teeth when they venture
abroad after dark-the streets, to use the
language Of one Of the police magistrates,
being as unsafe as q tigers den.

do better than by placing it in their

CoRREsPoNDENoE BETWEEN HENRY. A.
WISE AND GEN. KEYEs.-Interestin cor
respondence has recently passed between
Henry A. Wise and Gen. Keyes, relative
to the treatment of lunatics in the Asy-
lum at Williamsburg, Va. Gen. Wise
assumes that these unfortunates were
cruelty treated by the Union officers, and
makes complaint of the same, appealing
TO the commiseration of Gen, Reyes, 70
pay respect to those "charities and af-
flictions so sacred that States and God
can only deal with them with proper
care, and such as are always safe kept from
all intrusion;" aud, in behalf of Virgin
ia, speaking for cher little Ones" 10 no
lower authority than that of Heaven to
Christianity" Gen. Reyes replies that
no harm was done, or intended TO be
done, 10 the inmates Of the Asylum; but
that ON the contrary, every comfort was
extended to them by our surgeons aud
other officers, and he adds: "In regard to
the arbitrament of that higher tribunal,
TO which you refer, Heaven shield us!
Who knows which deserves the greater
pity, the poor lunatic in the Asylum at
Williamsburg, or the men who have made
the war"

A Dying Rebel Takes the Oath of
Allegiance.

Among the inmates of the general hos
pital, short time ago, was Georgia
soldier. He is now dead. He was form
erly resident of this State. He resided
in Georgia when the war broke out.
Carried away by the universal sentiment
of the town in which he lived, he raised
company and made war upon the old
flag.
He signalized himself in point of cour-
age, and was left upon the battle field by
retreating comrades with two bullets in
his body. In company with the loyal
wounded, he was brought to Phila-
delphia and placed in the hospital.
IL was soon ascertained that his DAYS
were numbered. Every kindness ex-
tended TO Union soldiers was shared with
him. He could not believe, however, that
he must necessarily die from his wounds.
To visitors he conversed upon the sub
ject of the rebellion, and declared him
self sorry that he had ever abetted il.
On the morning of his death he for the
first time felt approaching dissolution.
He was asked if he would have minis
ter to attend him.
"No."
Would you not like some pious per-
son TO pray with you"
"Thank you, no." 1ag

This singular wish was gratifed. An
alderman administered the oath. A few

Confederate soldier was with Him who
gave it.-Phladelphia North american.

HALLKoK's HEADQUARTERS, May 30.-All last
night, the moving OF cars, suppressed whistles
sounding, betokened some movement going on,
but not being an unusual occurrence, it was not
considered of an extraordinary nature.
About FIVE o'clock in the morning several ex.
plosions were distinctly heard Immediately
after skirmishers were thrown out, and a gen.
cral advance was commenced. A very large
amount Of railroad iron was untouched, there
being some twelve or fifteen tracks radiating
from the depot to the intrenchments, with side
tracks and switches, enabling them to move
troops With great rapidlty.
From all information gained from prisoners,
it is thought the evacuation commenced at sun
down last night, retresting in three directions
east, west and south.
Beauregsrd stated TO citizens last night that
he intended evacuatiDg, and throw himself OF

A large cavalry force under Colonel Elliott
was sent out W ednesday morning by a olrcuitoul
route, to destroy bridge on the Mobile and
Ohio Railroad south Of Corinth; though not yet
returned, wo learn from prisoners Ii was known
in Corinth last night that large bridge had
been destroyed forty miles south, by body Of
our cavalry, and that Pope's 2O-pounder Par
rott's yesterday enfladed their camps, killing
eighty men and one hundred horses; also, that
a 3O.pounder Parrott shell, thrown into Corinth
by Pope as an experiment, destroyed locomo-
tive, killing the engineer.
II is thought among military men that the
destruction Of the bridge south, the uncomfort-
able proximity Of our falling shells, and the
possibility Of the Federals success on the Mis-
sissippi, were the causes of evacuation.
The enemy's works are certainly Of very
great strength, and capable Of stout resistance.
