with large organised band who called
themselves, and were called by the people
generally, Road agents They would have
been called highwayman in any other place.
There were over one hundred in this band,
as their own books showed. Nearly every
man who left this place in November and
December with any amount Of gold dust
was robbed, and some of them were -mur.

who left this place in November with up
wards Of eighty thousand dollars, ingold
dust which was taken from the ''ROad
Agents" In January, the people conclud--
ed they could stand it no longer. There
was no law to which to appeal, and so a Wig
ilance committee was organized, and soon
men were hanging On trees, unfinished
housss, and every other place high enough
and strong enough to hold the weight of a
man. They gave their victims no warning.
The hanging business was decided by vote,
and the majority ruled. Wherever they
caught theirvictims, they were hung. The
Sheriff and Deputy Sheriff of this place were
"Road Agents" the Sheriff being the chief
of the gang. Both were hung. The Judge
was also one of them, but succeeded In es-
Gaping out of the county. Everything is
comparatively quiet, the last man having
been hung about month siuro.

Marriages Among Slaves.

That chattel slavery is incompatible with
sacred regard for the marriage relation
among slaves, is patent to every thinking
person. No law Of any slave State pre-
scribes laws to be observed, or penalties for
bigamy or adultery committed by slaves, or
throws any protection (some miserable
shams are duly remembered as write)
around the slave family circle. Such legis'
lation would certainly undermine the pecu
liar institution, and shareholders know it
am aware that Southerners assert that
families are rarely sold apart. Even this is
not true. Bankruptcy, partition OF estates,
etc., necessarily, and auger, want OF money,
removal, etc, voluntarily, often cause slave
families to be sold apart and separated for
ever. But slaves very often intermarry
where husband and wife belong to different
owners. These are constantly liable t,
separation.
suppose the people of this neighborhood
are as stationary, as wealthy, as moral, as
humane, as any in the South; but assert
that two.thirds of the adult negroes of this
and the surrounding plantations have more
than one living husband or wife 1t n. yer

The Richmond Examiner of9the 18th
saws tho battle near Drury's Bluff was i'm
perfectly appreciated in Richmond till yes
.Ierday,, L. was, Turing the tune it lasted,
one Of the most terrific combats that has
been known. Confederate valor never
had more splendid illustratian. The
nerve Of Smithlor Buffers large army was
concentrated on the hills behind heavy for.
titications, which they had strengthened
with the appliances Of unlimited labor and
inexhaustible ingenuity ..---, -.
A world in arms would not have moved
Beauregard from such place. The vast
army of Grant has been lately broken on
somo hasty breastworks, thrown up in a
f night by Lees troops with their bayonets

Sou thern men moved on those forts. rot in

thousand guns, straight to their mark.
F Allhoug h completely successful they suf-
fered a considerable loss in killed and
wounded ITO make an onlette one must
break some eggs isthe proverb Of French
armies. But we are inclined to think that
the number is exaggerated for there is
evident cause of exaggeration that the
brigade w hich bore the brunt Of the battle
contained great proportion OF young men
from this city. Many houses here contain
wounded brothers and sons. and hence the
popular Imagination in Richmond increases
the total loss beyond reality. J4-JI L
Yesterday grand field day under the
ey of Beauregard Felix was anticipated.
But at daybreak the whole show of the
enemy had vanished, Butler had stolen of
in the night TO the shelter of his gunbosts.
He is scarcely to be blamed. The contest
was unequal. Butler against Beauregard.

Infantry are no. landing in great numbers

til he puts he river between him and

truth will be known this morning, VIC re-
train from further supposition.
Every one looked for the fight to be re-
uewed Yesterday, but when morning came
ir was iound the enemy Lad fed to his en-
1renchments on the river, and undsr cover
of his gunboats. This is equivalent to his
defeat. and the abandonment Of his opera
tions to lay siege to Richmond. Driven
aack now to his line of Notifications, our
armv has only to bold him in check, and to
prsyent his advancing from them. He can
ia US no harm in his present position. II
we can DO this the whole movement OF
