@A BOLD THEFr.-Ou Monday night,
az hack belonging to the Omnibus line
ofShallcross & Terry, was passing through
the wooden bridge over the west channel of
the river, on its return from Bridgeport
With load of baggage and passengers,
some thief cut valuable trunk loose from
the boot and quietly slipped it away. The
loss was not discovered until the hack
reached the city. It was one of the bold
est robberies we have heard of for long
time 1t is very dark in the bridge at
night, and the noise of the vehicle would
of course drown any minor racket that
would be occasioned in cutting the straps.
The bridge should be well lighted at night,
not only to prevent the recurrence of such
Eobberies as the above, but because the
flooring of the structure is not as reliable
as itshould be, and Tery serious accidents
are likely to occur. The trunk belonged
to NJ NJ. snider, and contained clothing
and $50 or $40 in money.

Nav YoRK, August I6.-Ths Heralds
City Point correspondent of the I4th says :
But little firing occurred for week past
until yesterday morning about o'clock.
Heavy guns were heard in the direction of
Deep Bottom, and a steady and some times
furious canuonading was kept up all day.
The attack was commenced by the enemy
and proved to be an attempt to dislodge
with their artillery certain working parties
of ours that they seemed to have just dis
covered. Their batteries were unable to
accomplish it however, and one or two OF
their rams dropped down the river as far
as was prudent, and added their ire to the
other.
The affair WAS an artillery engagement
at long rang throughout, in which our los
SEES are uncomfortable, and theirs of course
unknown. The character aud design of
the operations referred to which working
parties were engaged, cannot be more than
alluded to at present. Time must deVelope
them further.

TENANT BR1ees.-our readers will recol-
lect that it was announced some time ago
in these columns that Major Brown and
Lieut.. Briggs of the 18th West Virginia
Infantry, were captured at the fight near
Bunker Hill on the Oath of last month
We were very much surprised and graft
fed to meet both of these gentlemen yes
terday. looking as well as could be expect
ed. They escaped from the rebels on the
night of the 9th inst near Hsrrisonburg.
The rebels had charge of about Eve hun
dred enlisted men and about ten officers
During the march the officers were separa-
ted from the men. On the night of the
9th the men who had charge of Major
Brown, Lieut.. Briggs and another officer,
fell asleep, and it was determined to effect
an escape then and there as the next days
march would take them to Stanton
after which there would be no hope of
escape. The three officers indicated, there
fore started alone about o'clock in the
morning, the rest being so weary and foot
sore that they were afraid to undertake
the trip. They provided themselves with
little bread which had been issued to
them the previous evening and by hard
marching they managed to reach the
mountains just as the rebel cavalry made
its appearance in pursuit. They slept
during the day and travelled at night, suf-
fering all sorts of horrors from SORENESS
suspense and hunger. After being out
seven days and seven nights they reached
New Greek Station and were there greeted
by their friends. During these seven days
and nights they had nothing to eat but
little bread and few huckleberries which
they had gathered in the mountains. The
escape was fraught with many hardships
and great suffering but the officers con-
sidered themselves fully rewarded by the
happy results of the enterprise

A scheme Of Gen. ButIer.

NEW YoRK, Aug. l6.-The Herald's Point
of Rocks correspondent, Of the l4th, says ::
For some time past Gen. Butler has
been coming over a brilliant scheme
wherewith to annoy the enemy and adj
vance the Union interests in this region
materially. His plan contemplated is moth
ing less than the construction of canal
at what has been hitherto known as Dutch
Gap, hereafter known as Buffers Gap, In
the direct face of the enemy, which, when
done, should among other results, by rea-
son of its situation, compel the rebels to
extend their line of defences q distance of
four miles; that IS to say, the distance
saved to Us by the digging of the canal,
which is to be fourteen yards 10 width, is
seven miles of water course in James river.
This morning the men engaged in this
work were shelled by the rebel rams, but
our gunbosts soon drove them away.
