CHICKEN. STEAL1NG.-Inroads upon the
chicken coops Of sundry citizens in the upper
nart Of the town, have been made within the
last few nights, and the chickens stolen.
GOOD EFFECT. The order Of the Provost
Marshal of this city, forbidding the sale OF IN
toxicating liquors to officers or soldies has had
a good effect, as there has been far less drunk
enness and disorder in the street to-day than
for some days past.
ScHooLs.-There are excellent schools IN
town, now soon to be opened. Ii ever there
was time when children should be kept out OF
the streets, and placed under the wholesome

The Richmond Enquirer Of the l4th says
'The only case of Importance which will occu-
nv the attention of the Confederate States
Court during the existing term will he that Of
the government against August Belmont, an
Austrian agent for the Rothschilds, in which
the ownership Of some three hundred thousand
dollars worth of tobacco is involved. Belmont
claims that the tobacco is the property Of the
French Government, while the Confederate
States government claims that it is, or was the
property of the Rothschilds private parties,
at the time of the passage of the laws affecting
the disposal Of all tobacco at the South.

The Treasury Department CONSTITUTES the
word ''pedler,' as used in the Excise law, to
be person who gains livelihood by travelling
from place to place and selling goods and wares
or one whose occupation is to sell goods while
travelling from place to place. A farmer who
sells his own products by travelling from house
to house is not ''pedler' in the sense Of the
law.

CLEARING THE City OF STRAGLERs. -Last
night there was general clearing out OF town,
Of the struggling soldiers who have thronged
the streets for the past two days. A large
patrol force, starting in the lower part OF the
city, soon collected number Of The straggers,
and picking up as they proceeded, by the time
thew reached Washington street, the number
had increased until they could be counted by
hundreds, and this motley crowd were urged
On at the point Of the bayonet to their respec-
tive camps without the city. It was novel
and q curious sight, mingled with the ludicrous,
to witness this mass Of men as they were push
ed forward, some endeavoring TO elu e the vigi-
lance Of the guard to make their escape, somo
muleishly holding back, some pushing forward,
headlong and some resigned to their fate,
going on needless of the confusion and scenes
enacted around them. This morning patrol
mounted and on foot were again engaged in
picking up straeglers, and by noon the streets
we're pretty we'll cleared of their presence.
SERIOUS ACCIDENT. "A soldier had his right
leg cut off, just above the ankle, while lying on
the railroad track ctt the eastern entrance to
the tunnel, on Wilkes street, last night, about
9 o'clock. He was under the influence of
LIQUOR, and in attempting to cross the track,
fell, and laid with his leg across the rail, when
a locomotive passed over and cut it off. The
soldier was taken to hospital at once.
The PIE BUSINESS. -We mentioned in yes
tcrday's Gazette that brisk business was done
IN pies, and that it was difficult to supply the
demand. We have heard Of considerable sums
made by the vendors. One little boy made
$40, and we have heard Of many who made
from SlO(0Sl5 The exodus Of the soldiers
has caused great falling off in the business
and to day the pie and cake business has been
dull.
RoBBERY.-The store Of Mr.. G. ". Gilt
ford, on King street, near the corner OF Pitt,
was robbed of about $50 worth Of boots and
shoes, on Sunday night The robbers removed
a shutter, and broke out pane OF glass IN the
front window, from which they took the goods.
