are embraced in the following list:
Francis Cravan was charged with mali
ciously assaulting and beating with an iron
bar. with intent to kill, Washington, slave
OF o. II. Chalkley. Mr. Cravan and Wash are
employees at the Danvllle Railroad depot In
this city, and On Saturday last information
was received by the former that the negro
fellow had spoken disrespectfullS to his
wife. Upon sccOsting him about II, some
dispute ensued, during which Washington
made the repark that his (Washpgton's)
wife was as good as any white mans, where-
upon Crsvan picked up aa iron bar, with
around the depot yard, striking him over
the head once or twice. In the absence Of
witnesses the case was adjourned over TIL
Wednesday.
Three boys named John Barton, Thomas
Doland ana Monteith Kegan, were brought
before His Honor on the charge OF sleeping
In the First Markethouse on Sunday night.
The accused having been before the Court
on several other occasions, suspected with
stealing, &c, and It being well known that
depredatiops are of daily occurrence ut the
market places, the Mayor announced that
he strongly suspected they were implicated
In some of them. 1t was also very probable
that their object In lodging in the market
places was So that they might be on hand
ready for early morning operations, aud he
should therefore hold the parties till such
time as he could give the matter further
consideration.
Samuel Chapel was charged with using
threatening and abusive language towards
Lucy Minor, and permitting his family to
cast stones at her; but the parties for toe
prosecution not appearing, the case was dis
missed.

Henry, slave, arrested on Saturday night
with q counterpane and pair of socks In
his possession, supposed to have been sto-
len, was ordered to receive ten lashes.-
Jane, slave, of Sarah Swords, charged with
receiving the same, was also ordered to be
| whipped. Similar punishment was inflicted
upon Andrew, slave of Lowry Burns, charged
| with drunkenness Ia the street and tres
passing upon the premises of James Pen
| dleton.
Jerry and Morris, slaves of Andrew Nc
| Dowell, were charged with stealing two
| coats from r. ID. j. Payntsr. Mr. Paynter
| testified that some months since two cloth
coats were stolen from bis room, and moth
ing was known Of them till Sunday, when
he saw the accused wearing them in the
street When aecosted by Mr. p, they In
formed him that they had purchased them
of Jew woman on Main street but, upon
going to the place which was designated, the
Iroprietress denied all knowledge of the
coats, and said she had never seen the boys
before. The Mayor ordered them to be
whipped but an appeal was taken by the
counsel In the case and the witnesses were
recognized for their appearance before the
Hastings Court
VIM. Ferguson, free, and John and Lewis,
slaves, were charged with keeping disorderly
houses on 14sh street. The case was CON
tinued.

on the bloody field, and we'll have they
remembered the injunction. The or.

casualties are as follows: Killed-Pri-
vate O. J. Toledano. Mortally wound

Names.
THE ARMY OF THE VALLEY.
The report that General Early's army
had again cnossed the Potomac into Ma
ryland was reiterated yesterday on the
streets We know not whether there is
any foundation for this assertion beyond
mere rumor, though we are quite sure
that up to the time of writing this para
graph it lacks official confirmation. This
however, may be accounted for by the
rapid movements of the army, which
leave the commanding general no leisure
to forward dispatches to the authorities
here Rumor has it that the Confede-
rates were at Boonsboro', Maryland, on
Wednesday last but General Lees dis
patch, published two days ago, shows
that our troops occupied Martinsburg on
Thursday-so that rumor falls to the
ground. 4 reliable" gentleman reports
that heavy firing was distinctly heard on
the Potomac on Friday, supposed to be
in the neighborhood of Washington, but
our candid opinion is, that unless Gene
raj Early and his men had all been shod
with seven,league boots, they could
scarcely have marched from hkrtinsburg
to the noighhorhood Of the Federal capi
tai in one day So much for rumor num-
Der two. The only aling really certain
is, that considerable excitement prevail
ed in Washington and Baltimore at last
accounts, under the apprehension Of an
other invasion, and we should not be
surprised if Early appeared in front of
one or both of those cities some fine
morning not far distant.
FROM GEORGIA.
No official dispatches were received
at headquarters last night from Atlanta
1t was currently reported. however, that
Wheeler had captured 1920 Ysnke raid
ers on the Macon and Western railroad
Atlanta was safe yesterday morning, the
rumor of its reduction by the enemy to
the contrary notwithstanding.

The Ogden Ha5eas Corpus Cass lin the
Confederate States District Court yesterday
Hon. James Lyons delivered his argument
IN the case Of T. D'Orsey Ogdeu, acting
manager Of the Richmond Theatre, who
sues out for exemption from military SER
vice on the ground of his being British
subject The honorable gentleman occu
pied the attention Of the Court for upwards
Of three hours, during which time he quoted
largely from suthoriiies,in favor Ct his cii-
ent's claims for exemption, on the ground
that he was on undomiciled foreigneT.-
Among o number OF atfidavits which were
read was one from Mrs. Elizabeth Magiil,
the proprieress Of the theatre and employ
er Of the petitioner, who stated that In
1851, when Mr.. Ogden came to this city,
he, orally as we'll as by certificates,
claimed to be British subject, and was
then on his way to his native country that
having iast at that time lost her manager,
she rendered him the situation, which he
accepted, but not before first ascertsining
from the British and French consuls sta
toned here that he 1uld not be forced into
the Confederate service. Being foreigner
by birth, and never having taken the Ga b of
allegiance to the ConfedeTacy, he occupied
the same status as an alien enemy, and he
(Mr. L. should like to know what nation
ever had forced into its service man who
wae avowed iuimical to Its success. Grant
Ing that Ogden had ever taken the oath Of
citizenshlp In Alabama, (Which he very muef
doubted, 1t was at q time when that Stats.
was one OF the Uoited States, and
therefore by beirg citizen of Lincoiu's
dominion he was as much O foreigner "a II
he bad never left his Eative country. -Irthe
opposite ground was taken, it would bs.s rat
as well to say that Abe Lincoln would con
stitute himself Confederate citizen If he
were to come to Richmond and remain a
single day. Mr.. Lyons, in submitting the
case to the Judge, based his application for
the discharge of his client, firstly, upon the
ground that he had never been domiciled at
ell, and secondly, that If he had been. his
domicil never extended to the Coufederste
States.
We do not pretend to give anything like
report OF Mr.. Lyons's speech. bnt
merely design to Bet forth what were its
most striking points. at the conclusion.
Judge Haiy yburton was placed in pos .ssion
of all the papers which had been used nv
the counsel for the petitioner, as well as the
governments prosecutor whereupon his
Honor intimated that in constellation If the
near approach to the end of the july term
OF his court, he did no, think 1t probable he
would be able to render his decision bef.re
the next term, which would meet on the
10Th day Of August. II, however, he should
conclude to do SO earlier, due notice would
be given to all parties concerned
The cou Il then adjourned till IL O'Clock
this morning.
