WARNING TO TREsPAssERs.-T The house
was occupied, yesterday afternoon, with a
discussion upon the bill for the further security
ct lands from trespassers The matter was
brought up upon the petition of citizens of
East Douglas who claim to have suffered from
the use which irresponsible parties have made
of their choice lands as highway, after hav-
ing been warned against such trespass. The
form of the bill, as it finally passed to be en-
crossed, is as follows -
Whoever wilfully commits trespass, by
passing over garden, orchard, or other i'm
proved land of another, after being forbidden
SO TO do by the owner or occupant thereof, or
by his authorized agent, shall be liable to all
the penalties mentioned in the eighty-tourth
section of the one hundred and sixty first chap
ter OF the General Statutes"
The penalties to which the bill refers are
Imprisonment in the Jail not exceeding thirty
days, or fine not exceeding twenty dollars.
The grievances under which the parties in
interest claim to have suffered were urged as
if they were serious i'll their character, and
requiring some new legislation on the subject
OF Irespass.

According to correspondent of the New
York Tribune, the discovery of Gen. Stones
suspicious correspondence with the enemy is
said on good authority to have happened in
this wise =
"a soldier in one If the New York regi-
ments, who had procured his discharge, and
came to the capital for the purpose of getting
his pay, mentioned to a gentleman in one of
the public offices that there were suspicious
circumstances connected with Gen. Stones
movements, and related the following Incl
dent -
"While he 1.-THE sodier) was on picket duty
near Edwards Ferry, sometime subsequent to
the Balls Bluff affair, Gen. Stone rode down
near the ferry, accompanied only by a SER
want. After some little time he went to an
unoccupied house near, and bringing out
spyglass looked across the river. He then re-
mounted and rode away, but shortly returned
to the same house, and again brought the
glass into requisition, and seeming to discover
the object OF his search, waved his hat as
though communicating a signal. Directly
about dozen horsemen came out of the
woods on the opposite side of the rives.
General Stone, going TO our pickets,
remarked that these men must want
something, and suggested that some OF
them should cross and see what it might be.
Five men volunteered to 90 on this service,
and on reaching the Virginia shore, the rebels
proposed that they should remainas hostages,
while an equal number OF their party crossed
for the purpose of having an interview with
Gen. Stone, which proposal was accepted, aud
tie rebels accordingly crossed and met Gen.
Stone. They withdrew from the river bank
near the house above named, and remained in
conference for some time. a soldier at the
ferry observed sealed packet passing between
the rebels and Gen. Stone One OF the rebels
remark I'd To one of the men who remained as
hostages, that they had come down by APP
pointment' The one who headed the rebel
party was Capt. Porter"

The expected steamer with the official re.
ports of the battle of Roanoke Island has not
arrived. Probably Gen. Burnside and his at
sociates have been too busy 10 make out re-
ports,-too completely occupied with the bus,
iness OF securing the fruits OF their victory.
We may be sure that they have not been idle.
1t is painful to be kept SO long in suspense
concerning the losses of the several regiments
engaged; but we may presume that the longer
the reports are delayed the more complete
they will be when we get them. A report
hastily prepared would be likely to omit most
OF those details we are so anxious to get.
We publish in another place some accounts
of the battle from the correspondence and edi-
torial columns of some Of the Richmond pa.
pers They add considerably to the reports
already published, and, in the absence of
more reliable and complete description OF the
battle, will be read with interest 1t is plain
enough that the rebels have been terribly defeat
ed. There is no attempt to deny this OF
course they greatly exaggerate both the bravery
of their OWE troops and the losses OF ours. It'll
stated in the Richmond Examiner that the
rebel commanders were "outgeneraed," and
that our troops were not so accommodating as
to land precisely as the rebel leaders had been
led TO expect. This is very significant
admission. But we shall soon have full and
authentic account of what took place.

The SOCIAL FESTIVAL held by the ladies'
of Salem Street Society, Rev. Mr.. Richard
sons, at Washburn Hall last night, was very
literally patronized They got up very
elaborate turkey supper at six o'clock, and
of course the tables were filled, at only twenty
five cents plate. How the ladies made
money out of it is their secret; but they are
satisfied. II is really novel sensation to go
to ladies festival supper for the economy OF
the thing, and not even find the supposed in.
evitable grab boxes, lotteries guess cakes, al
lowed by all TO be fair means of raising
money. The choir sung some very spirited
pieces, and the other exercises were highly
interesting. Many of the people passing out
from Mr.. Chapin's lecture tarried by tie way,
seduced by vision OF ice creams, by the
aroma of coffee, by the voices of the singers
as they passed the wide. open door of the low
er hall.

NEWSPAPER THIEvEs.-There has been
some annoyance and complaint caused by fail
ure of some of our subscribers TO find
their morning papers at their doors with regu-
larity and in some cases our carriers have
unjustly been charged with neglect. Uufor-
tunately there are bad boys in every city, and
youngster was detected stealing the Daily Spy
from doorseps on Chestnut and Bowdon
street. Owing to his extreme youth. and to
consideration for other circumstances in his
case, he was left 20 parental care. We hope
we may not be called upon to deal by this
class of boys in any harsher manner.

THE CLOSING LECTURE in the Lyceum
course was given, last night, by Rev. T. H.
Chaplin OF New York. His subject was, 'The
People, The physical power of DR.. Chaplin
has not in the least diminished. His orator-
cal climaxes still assault the ear as though he
had the wind" of ten, aud while that envia-
bic vocal strength remains to him he can
never be at a loss to keep the attention and
awaken the applause OF his audience The at.
tendance was quite large. The chairman,
Mr.. Hoar, stated thar the lecture course had
melted about $500, which sum would be added
10 the permanent fund of the association.
