SAmid the excitement of the war items, ii is
refreshing TO give an item OF gossip which
officers, gamblers, and sporting gentry who in
test this city. A few weeks ago dashing dem.
irep, known by the name of Arabella c.,
came on from New York to Washington. In
conjunction with Spanish gentleman O. she
opened a fashionable gambling hell, on one OF
the main but quiet avenues. Her rim, and dash
ing behavior soon attracted numerous visitors,
who strange to say, always delight to lose.
The reason of this peRchont is that every loser
over Sl00 is invited to a private interview with
the fair but frail Arabelia. she is more ia

fused into the movements of that department.
The Office was crowded with clerks and others.
On ING uiring as to when it was determined
the draft would recommence, he was informed
that there was no definite period vet set down;
but that the public would he officially inform

movements relative TO the further prosecution
OF the draft, everything at present seems cloud.

away with the unpleasant feeling that ex-

preferred it should 60 to the courts for their

THE CoNFtsCATIoS CAsEs.-This morning,
Judge W. lie, Ia the District Court, made his
decision In the matter OF the property OF Or. A.
Y. P.Garneti, which was before the court for
condemnation, the argument in which case
was made yesterday by District Attorney Car
ringtcn.
case, and was the first that b ad been argued
before the court. 1t had been fully argued by
the District Attorney with great learning aud
ability, who asked upon the pleadings, con-
sistiug OF seizure, information. publicat on and
proclamation without substantive proof, de-
cree OF condemnation. He had doubted st first,
but upon reason and authority he was satisfied
that it was his duty to grant the decree.
The act Of Con ercss did not as was general
ly supposed, treat the inhabitants of the So
called Confederate States as traitors but as
alien enemies, and in that point of view, by
the law of nations, their property of every de-
scrption is liable to absolute forfeiture and
alienation to the use of the Government.
There is no dis tinction between personal pro-
perry and real estate, nor did the Constitution,
as was supposed, for bid the absolute forfeiture
of real estate. But the joint resolution passed
by Congress on the same day as the contsca-
ton act, under the provision of which this
property is sought 10 be confiscated, was n de-
claration by them that, in a spirit of kindness,
they would confscate the real tate of the re-
bel only during his lifetime He was bound
by that resolution and would therefore con
denim the real estate during the lifetime of tt e
owner, and the personal property bsolutely.
Judge Wylie referred to a large lumber of au :
thorities, among them acts of the Marylar d
and Pennsylvania Assemblies confiscating alb
solutely. the property of Americans who re-
manned loyal to the British Grown during the
Revolution.
After this decision Of the Judge the District
Attorney asked leave to dispose OF some twenty
other cases which depended on the same prin :.
cipies, which request was granted, and the
DEGREES of condemnation in the cases or the fol-
lowing parties were ordered: Thomas ID. Allen,

is to the effect that he was then amply pro
visioned for his needs. and fully able to re-
sist the enemy until aid could reach him
from Grant. At that time Longstreet was
before Knoxville. The order sent him bv
Bragg to abandon the siege aud rejoln him
had not then reached him. Doubtless
Grant has now cut the road by which Long
