DR.. Thos. Holmes o! Williamsbursh arrived in the
city on Tuesday night. Holef the White House on Sat
urdsy evening, a, 6 O'Clock. Arrangement was made
for the evacuation on Tuesday week. Fifteen hun
bred sick ere first moved away on Wednesday, and
on Thursday morning the commissaTy stores were
piled no with bundles of hay inlermixod with bar
rels of whisky TO DO destroyed if suddenly attacked
by the enemy. After this tho five gunboa.s were
placed in position, to ,epe any attack that might be
made, and the trees were fslled TO make open pas
sAge even mp to and beyond tho White House. The
guns were allotted and run out except one, which
was kept to give the signal for all parties on saors to
seek protection on tho vessels. Pennsylvania
cavalry regiment was detailed TO scout through the
place to zee that none should be et as some, having
property in the vicinity, would be likely TO remain
in order 10 secure il. Abon. 200 contrabands were
,error.sncken and anxiously inquired the meaning
of these proceedings fearing they might be lett, say

procured for that purpoae. and towed out into the
stream beyond tho reach Of danger. About o'clock,
on Saturday, the signal-gun was fired from the Mar
blehead and then the torch applied to the com
misu.ry stores. after which all tho tents were de-
sroyed. The eyacution was the most orderly OF any

friends. Hull is indebted to him for public
park, for marble statue of her majesty the
queen, for new town hall which is at present
being erected by Mr.. Addy, builder, Leeds,
for new supply of water, and many other
social, sanitary. and public improvements.
He has taken deep interest in all questions
pertaining to the welfare of the inhabitants,
and his present unfortunate position has
caused very great regret. Mr.. Pearson, as
is well known, is one of the largest shipown-
ers in the country, and during the present
American war he has carried on a hazardous
trade with the confederate states. His steam
ers have been laden at Hull with valuable
cargoes bound for some ports in South Amer
lea At first the adventures were successful,
and one or two steamers succeeded in eluding
the vigilance of the federal fleet. Latterly,
however, the northern cruisers have kept a
sharp look out, and several of Mr. Parsons
first class steamers and their cargoes have
been captured We believe since the block
AIDE the north have altogether captured thir-
teen English steamers, and we are correct in
stating that majority of these were the prop
erty of Mr.. Pearson. He lost seven steamers
and pecuniary liabilities to a very large ex-
tent have thus been incurred. Had the steam
ers succeeded in running the blockade, there
is no doubt Mr.. Pearson would have realized
little less than million of money altogether;
as it is his liabilities are estimated at above a
quarter of a million. To one person alone in
the town, it is said he owes from 100000 to
100000. 1t is hoped that an arrangement
may be come to and that Mr.. Pearson may
continue his business. His term of mayoral-
ty does not expire until November next.

venerable congressman from Maryland, who
had Just arrived to protest against the disturb
ance OF mail facilities between Baltimore and
the capitol OF the southern contederacy, and
says he, II have several friends who are con-
federacies, and they inform me that they are
perfectly willing to return to the Union as it
was, in case they should fail in their present
enterprise"
''If thought, says the congressman, has
tily placing lottery ticket in his vest pock-
ct, 'if | thought that this war was to be
waged for the purpose Of injuring the southern
confederacy, rather than to restore the Union
as it was, should at once demand more mile
age of the government, and repeatedly inquire
what had become of the wide-awakes.'"
As he uttered the last horrible threat, my
boy l was impressed with a sense of some
thing darkly democratic. Too many of the
wide-awakes of the last campaign are indeed
fast asleep now when their country needs
them. | saw one of them slumbering near
Culpepper Court House last week. He was
sleeping with his right arm twisted in the
spokes of disabled cannon wheel, and a
small purple mark was on his right temple.
But he was not alone in his forgetful sloth,

engaged hand, was a democrat, slumbering
