THAT ATTEMPT TO DESTROY THE NAVY
YARD-A city cotemporary has story of q
terrible Guy Fawkes attempt to blow up the
Navy Yard on Saturday night
The whole thing amounts to just this: About
twelve o'clock on Saturday night an Irishman
named Davis was found in the Navy Yard
near the laboratory, and arrested by one of the
Watchmen and placed in the gnardhouse. At
the time he was found he was very drunk,
and had in his pockets pipe, piece of tobacco
and box OF matches. On Monday he was re.
leased. He stated that he had been at work in
Alexandria, and was on his way TO Baltimore,
but getting drunk he could not find the cars,
and wandered around; getting in the Navy
Yard by way of the marsh on the west side,
which at low tide is sometimes passable, and
was found as stated above, by the watchman
on duty there. Some persons made out of the
arrest dreadful story to the effect that the
prisoner was passed in by the guard, with
whom he used some chicanery, and that his
purpose was to blow up the magazine and set
the yard on fire, but was hailed by a second
guard and caught, whose timely interpo sition
prevented the man from putting his design
into execution.

The Latest News.

We copy to-day from the Richmond L'spa'c'
the fullest account we have seen of the disaster 70
our arms on Saturday last, on the Rappahannock.-
It appears that two Confederate brgades were Sur
prised and Gu: off, but fought long and well, and
portions of them were captured, the remnant ma
king their escape as best they could We regret 10
learn that the 9Th regiment Of North Carolina troops
was most probably captured. If we may judge from
the character of the conflict and the length OF time
it lasted our loss must have been considerable IN
killed and wounded. .--- ..,-.
Late Northern papers contain the statement that
General Meade had been positively ordered to ad-
vance on General Lee. The probability is there
fore, that great battle has been fought or is now
in progress. We received no Richmond papers by
Wednesday nights mail, no connection having
been made between the trains at Weldon; and we
have nothing by telegraph. We are eagerly await
ing the next news from Virginia, and we trust
when it comes it will be cheering, ii battle has
been fought.
We have nothing of interest from Charleston or
Gen. Braggs army.

Randolph and Davidson to be heard from. Mr.
Christians majority is at least 1900.
In the sth District Mr.. Lander's friends seem to
claim his election with confidence. But the army
vote is not all in and we do not give it up yet
In the 9th District the result is in doubt Wilkes
gives Smith 148, and Gather g.. Smith leads
Gather "a votes in the 37th 32d SD, and AID reg
imens. The small vote in Wilkes is to be account
ed for by the military terrorism prevailing in that
County. ...-
In the 10th District Gen. G. W. Logan is no
doubt elected. He was some 1900 votes ahead,
with one or two Counties to be heard from. He
has carried Polk, Rutherford, Buncombe, Hender-
son, Transylvsnia, and Madison, and the vote of
Yancy and Mitchell is divided between him and his
opponents.
The SherifS met on Wednesday last to compare
the votes They will no doubt meet again next
Wednesday to compare the army vote We shall
publish the official votes of the Districts as they
are received.

HHH 70 H a. q
PERT1NENr.-The Charleston Courier remarks
that time was when instruction or learning, or ap-
premiership of some kind was deemed necessary to
prepare men for the proper and faithful discharge of
any calling, or profession, or craft, or mystery
opr fathers did not 60 to blacksmith to baye their
watches repaired, nor to butcher for medical at
tendance nor to carpenter for law nor to preach
er Tor loans. When men of former generation
wished to purchase beef bacon, pork, -four, wheat
corn, horses or other things, they took the advice
and service OF dealers whose experience and habits
OF business had made them aequaipted with the
things wanted. We have changed all this, and in
order to qualify any person now to become prof
cient purchaser of wheat -four and provisions gen.
eraly 1t is only necessary that he should have suf
helen influence TO receive an appointment -,,s
The magic ofgoYernment power and appointment
is such that no previous qualification or knowledge
Is required to constitute purchaser on government
account. . 80, So: ..... :. ~. .....,y.
1t is rumored that some Confederate officers have
enough knowledge Of wheat to enable them to direct
that the white wheat be ground for the officers fam
lilies, and the ordinary wheat for the soldiers.
But the Courier overlooks the influence that Sc
cures an appointment. The applicant must either
have been an original secessionist or he must have
turned upon his old friends like the Fayetteville o.
serrer, and admitted that he was wrong and the
original seeessionsts right from the beginning This
is the key that opens the door to offices and honors

From the Richmond Sentinel |

What will be done with the Regularss This is
aquestiou that is daily asked and discussed among
ourselves We enlisted in the 1st regiment Georgia
Regulars, and were detacked from that regiment
soon after its arrival in Virginia, Since that time
we have been assigned to- and served in four differ
ent companies (artinery) in all of which, we have
performed all duty exacted of soldier. There are
but thirty-6ve of US in Gen. Lees army. Our en-
listments commence expiring on the 10th day of
February next. We took up arms in defence of
our country before the first gun was fred in this
cruel war. We were then called foolish and laugh.
ed at for enlisting for three years. That time has
nearly passed and still there is cry of war. Our
term of enlistment has almost expired and what
will be done2 We claim the right of discharge and
the prerogative of companies. We have never had
the privilege of choosing our officers, company, or
service, while all other troops have had that unde
niable right But one of our number has ever re-
eeiTed furlough, fact that cannot be contradict
ed. Our term of service will soon be ended-we do
not wish to eVade our duty as soldiers; we simply
ask justice. q. H. w.
If we had first published the above we should
have been charged with purpose to stir up discon-
tent in the army.

Slipped from our Han ds. y

A correspondent of the Richmond Dispatch, writ
ing from Chattanooga, says:
"Ths new move upon the military chess-board,
by which the enemy got possession of Lookout val
ley and the railway to Bridgeport, was mastery
stroke The conception was brilliant one, and the
execution of it admirable and faultless All the
combinations, from the building of the pontoon
boats and floating them down the river at night to
the unexpected arrival of the forces from Bridge
port were perfect. Indeed, the river and the rail-
road from Lookout Mountain to Bridgeport, and
the valley and Raccoon Mountain slipped from ou
hands so easily, or rather were taken from US so
adroitly, that we hardly knew when it was done.
The operation, however has changed the whole as
pect of affairs here The question of subsisting
the Federal army in Chattanooga this winter is
solved and there is no longer any doubt about the
ability of its commander to obtain all needfu sup
plies unless we dispossess him of the railroad. To
do this We shall have to fight another battle and
overcome physical difficulties of serious character
The truth is, Lookout Mountain is very much in
our way. Il we make Lookout Valley the battle
ground we interpose the mountain between us and
our base of supplies, and expose flank and rear
TO a movement either from Chattanooga or Bridge
port and if DO not 60 into the valley We cannot
dislodge the enemy. Why, then, should we remain
longer in the mud and water in Chattanooga Valley
Gen. Hardee has arrived and been assigned to
the command of Folks corps. Another Federal
corps, making the third, has arrived from the Po
tomac. The enemy has fallen back from Loudon
in the direction of Knoxville, and considerable sup
plies have been gathered by Gen. Stevenson and
sent to this army. We have had more heavy rains
and more horrid weather. Do hurry up the blankets
for the soldiers Gen. Hood is still improving and
is able to sit up little Gen. Cobb is here Gen.
Wheeler is not. Our batteries continue to exchange
occasional shots with those Of the enemy"
