MIS.SIONER.S

The Atlantic Monthly contains the
last instalment of the narrative of '' Ed

first publication. 1t appears that they
were courteously shown through the

some extracts about the visit to the

THE VAR NEWS.

All was quiet on this side of James
river yesterday. Not so on General
,Picketts lines, between James river and
the Appomattox. Here the ensmy put
negroes on picket. AS soon as our troops
discovered this arrangement, they opened
upon the negroes and drove them in alta
run. General Parxe, the Yankee com.
mander on this part Of the line, then sent
out white pickets, when quiet was re,
stored
The fire of our batteries on the Dutch
Gap canal continues as usual.
FROM PETERSBURG
During the past two days good deal
of unimportant skirmishing and cannon
aiding has taken place on the Petersburg
lines. About one o'clock on Monday,
our troops on General Mahone's line
captured sixty of the Yankee pickets in
their front.
The Petersburg Erpress of yesterday
contains an account of the capture of
the Hon. Roger A. Pryor by the enemy
under the following circumstances Mr..
Pryor, who, for some time past, has been
acting as an independent scout, went out
on the lines on Monday morning to ex-
change papers with the Yankees. He
advapced, waving paper, as is the GUS
tom in such cases, and a Yankee officer
came out and met him and exchanged
papers with him. AS he was on his
way back into our lines, several Yam
KEGS sprung from an ambush and
seized and carried him off a prisoner
A number of our men witnessed the
affair, but from too great distance to
be able to render any assistance. While
this is undoubtedly piece of treachery
on the part of the enemy, it must, we
fear, be submitted to. Mr.. Pryor's 60
ing forward to exchange papers was an
unofficial act, not warranted, that we
have learned, by any truce or treaty with
the enemy. The exchange of papers
along the lines is thing which has ex-
listed only by the suferance of the bel
ligerents, to be broken up at the plea
sure of either party.

LOCAL MATTERS,

HUsTINGs CouRr-Jadge Gideon d.
Camden, of the Twenty. first Judicial
Circuit of Virginia, presiding.-Tbe case
of Robert s. Forde, indicted for the mur-
der of Robert E. Dixon, was called yes
terday but, for reasons deemed suffi-
clent by the court, it was postponed till
the next term.
Jacob N. Hoeflicb, indicted for the
murder of negro child belonging to
him, was then put upon trial After
swearing in jury, several witnesses
were examined, one of whom testified
that the prisoner and his wife had been
in the habit of inhicting cruel beatings
upon the child, and that in the dead of
winter they have been known to strip il
naked and hold it under the hydrant
till ljf' would be nearly extinct Mr..
John Fl. Gilmer, counsel for Hoeflich,
rebutted said evidence by saying that
the cruel treatment was inflicted by his
clients wife, who had already escaped to
the Yankees, and was beyond the juris-
diction of our courts.
He was replied to by Littletoh Taze-
well, the prosecuting attorney, who con
cluded by asking for verdict of volun-
tary manslaughter" The jury. at 2 O'Clock
took the matter in hand and retired fol
deliberation; but up to late hour il
the evening had not determined upor
their verdict.

LATER FROM THE NORTH.

We have received the Washington
Chronicle of Sunday last, the 9th in
slant. The news is of little Importance
with one exception, and that is the fol
lowing telegram from Nashville, dated
the 26th instant
Hoods army, numbering probably
forty thousand men, have been for seve-
raj days fast concentrating south of CO.
lumbia, Tennessee. Our forces, mean
time, have evacuated Pulaski, Huntsville
and Decatur, which places are in rebel
hands.
In Hoods front, near and about Co
lumbia, are the Federal forces commanded
by General Thomas.-
On the Oath instant, some severe skir-
mishing occurred, resulting in loss to
the Federals Of forty four killed and
wounded. The rebel loss is estimated at
two hundred aud sixty four; among the
| killed was one colonel.
Large bodies of troops are being
massed in Hoods front Some heavy
| fighting may be expected in few days.
Communication by telegraph to Co.
lumbia has been interrupted since yes
terday. Rumors were circulated Of fight
ing yesterday, but no official advices of
an engagement have been received =

thus far, been fruitless. A retrograde

few days. A steady rain has been fall

One woman, hailing from Baltimore,

All such persons engaged in secret acts

FORESTS MARINE OPERA
TIONS IN THE WEST.

The mode of procedure of the Confe-
derate horse.marine cavalry in capturing
the Yankee gunboats out West is very
interesting. Some letters to the Mobile
Register give full accounts of the recent
exploits of the troops of Forests COM
mand on the Tennessee river. The first
is narrative of what was done by Blu
ford's division, and the description is
worth reading:
At daylight, everything was in readi-
ness every one breathlessly watched the
river for approaching steamers and their
conveys. About 10 o'clock, smoke in
the distance notified us of the approach
of boat coming up the river. Various
were the surmisings as to her character.

She passed the lower battery, her officers
and crew lounging carelessly about, smo-
king. They were aroused from sense
security by the plunge Of bail through
her stern, followed by one through her
hull, while sharpshooters poured in a
hail of Mimic balls. She sounded the
alarm and attempted to put about but
another ball was sent, carrying away her
steam pipe, and one through her pilot
house. She was rapidly landed on the
far side Of the river and deserted by her
crew and clerk. She had in tow barge,
