The News.

We have not lately received any
important News, further than skirm-
ishes. The aspect of the prosecution
Of hostilities for some time to come,
is 40 different to what it was weeks
ago. The Lincoln government is
straining every nerve, and calling
ont every man capable of bearing
arms. They find they have made a
splendid calculation without count
ing the cost. The natural conse-
quence arising from this is. that
great dissatisfaction is visible among
the people of that tremendous co un-
try, who were bent on subjusating a
people. that took up arms in defence
OF their rights and liberties.
Lincoln accounts for the many de-
feats of his several armies. by SAYING
that the pe2ple Of the States in re-
bellion; have gathered together all
persons Who could bear arms. He
therefore figures that the whole Con-
federate forces, can be easily over
come in short time, by pursuing
the proper course; ordering out all
the n,i1itia, and making every man
shoulder a musket, whether toreig
or native born. By this means be
calculates raising an army sufficient
ly strong, to run 0cer. and tramT/e
undev feet, the rebels by superior
sceigAt. In response to his call for
more troops, however. he meets with
many unexpected blunt sefusals.
Our RAIDERS must he patient until
Lincoln gets his immense force in
the field, if they wish to hear stirring
news, for the fights that have a,
ready been reported viii sink into
insignihcance, ii Abe means what ne

Charge Of POiSOning---A Whole
Family Under Arrest.

BY order Of Bri. Gen. Pcndleton,
Ny. Alexander Talconer, his entire
family and slaves, We're placed un.
der arrest on the 9th inst, on the
charge of poisoning milk sold to Ger
tain Confederate soldiers, and taken
to Petersburg and lodged in jail
The Express gives the following:
On Tuesday evening member of
the Irvine Artillery, Captain Lane,
stationed short distance below Pc
tersbuTg. went to Mr.. Falconer's
house and engaged two quarts of
milk, for which he paid-the milk to
be delivered yesterday morning. Ac-
cording to engagement, the soldier
called for his milk yesterday morn
ing, and took it to his camp, where
the balance of his mess (,wo others
shared it. After they had finished
breakfast, they passed what remained
of the milk to two servants OF an ad-
joining mess, who drank it.
These servants, we understand,
took nothing else for their breakfast.
Shortly afterwards all five Of them
were taken violently ili-the symp-
tons and sickness in each case being
exactly similar. though some worse
than others. 1t syas the opinion o.
the Surgeon who attended them, that
they had been poisoned-and that
the poison had been administered to
them BY means of milk. These facts
coming to the notice of Gen. Pendle-
ton, he caused & strong guard TO be

ARREST OF ONE OF ITS CITIZENS.

About 2r. N. on Tuesday last our
town was admonished by the whistle
that a boa, was approaching the land
ing. We started out up the street.

the booming Of a gun and the whistl-
ing Of shot overhead, caused US to
"pause and consider Immediately
some mounted conscripts hurrying up
the street, somewhat enlightened US
as. to the cause Of the shot, the ball
from which gunjus grazed Stockley's
brick drug store, and crashing through
the china trees lining that side of Main
street, pierced through the centre Of
one at Chere's corner, and fell in tho
street some little distance farther off.
These mounted men, we learned.
were on he leven as the boats were
approaching, preparing to 60 on the
other side OF the river. and it was to
them probably. that we may attribute
the visit Of the boat or boats (as

other side OF ia. river-took his bed
ding, clothing, jewelry, &c, broke
open a.rmoirs and trunks. and burnt
his fiat and skiffs. Mr. Brown has
been a quiet and inoiensive man dur
ing this unhappy war, and it looks
hard if all that was done to him are
brought about by plying his vocation
as public terryman.
The company that was seen on tho
bank Of the river was in the act OF
going on the other side, when seen By

were making their way to Baton

and spikes. but discovered by two
citizens at Manchac, were ordered to
