From tho Potomac Army.

HRADQuARTERs Army OF THB POTOMAC,
Dec. 81 o'clock p. m.-This has been
rather a calm day along the lines in front
of Petersburg. Some little picket firing
was INDUCED in on the right of the line,
but artillery on both sides was very quiet.
Considerable activity prevailed north OF
the James river to-day, but the rain storm
seemed to have put a stop to whatever
changes, if any were intended, from being
made.
Firing was kept up at Dutch Gap all
day, but not with SO much persisteucy as
yesterday.
Richmond papers of to-day contain no
news from either Georgia or Tennessee.
They have seemed to have looked for a
battle in front of Petersburg for the past
tao or three days, and have evidently
been preparing to resist any advance on
our part,

~CAPTuRE OF HARDING THE HUSBAND
OF BELLE BoYD.-S. Harding who married
in Europe Belle Boyd, the somewhat famous
rebel spy. was captur ed in Martinsburg on
Saturday.
This man Harding formerly belonged to
the United States Navy and was placed on
board the prize steamer Greyhound ION
which Belle Boyd was passeuger,) with
instructions to carry the vessel into one of
our ports, but on the trip he permitted the
captain of the Greyhound to escape, for
which, it is said, he was dismissed the
service.
After Belle Boyd was restored to liberty
she went to Europe, where she and Hard
ing were married. Harding says that since
his marriage to Belle she has been discar.
ded by the rebel sympathisers in Europe,
but notwithstanding she circulates in the
best society he, himself, has instructed
her to have nothing further to do with the
rebel cause Harding's. relatives: reside in
Brooklyn, New York, and he alleges that
they are displeased with him on account
of his marriage with Belle.
Harding asserts that his wife is still in
Europe and is writing history of her life
and adventures, and that he is engaged in
writing novel, the title of which is "The
Wreck"
Harding gives as reason for going to
Martinsburg that he wished to bring away
his sister-in-law, Mamie Boyd, whom he
desired to take North, for the purpose
of educating her. His statements are dis
credited, however, and the military author
ties believe that Belle herself is lurking
somewhere in the vicinity in which Hard
ing was captured.
Harding brags of his wealth, but when
searched only $l4 was found upon him.
He is a medium sized man with dark hair,
dark hazel eyes, aud thin, smoothe face.
He dresses tastefnlIy in broadclOth, wears
"tall beaver" and carries cane. he
cannot be called handsome, but his actions
indicate that he thinks a great deal of
himself, and he appears to have the gift of
the "gab" in abundance.

New YORK, Dec. 9.-The Richmond
Wing of the 9Th says:
We have reason to believe from all we
have heard, that Sherman's army has
united and is marching with measured pace
towards the coast south or south west of
Milten. We also have reason to anticipate
battle at some point north OF north west
of Savannah, ere the close OF the present
week.
z The Richmond Enquirer of the 9Th says: ;
We learn that an official telegram re-
ceived last night, states that Wheeler has
inflicted severe blow upon the enemy
The locality Of this fight is not given for
sufficient reasons. It occurred last Sun
day morning. One corps of the enemy and
Kilpatrick's cavalry attacked Wheeler In a
stFong position. They come up boldly to
the attack and made several charges, all of
which were Eepulsed by Wheeler's men,
who though largely Outnumbered main
tanned their ground and raked down the
foe.
The despatch states that the enemy lost
heavily, and il was reported that Kilpat-
rick was wounded.
NEw YoRK, Dec. 9.-The Richmond pa
pers of the 18th says Shermau's campaign
is drawing to close. He is approaching
the coast by way of the Darieu and Savan-
nah railroad. We have formidable force
between the points which he will have to
encounter before reaching either point
We think Sherman is done with strategy,
and will now attempt to break through
our forces and then attempt to reach the
coast. Things will eliminate this week.
We think Sherman ia in u critical COndi.

will Cross the Savannah river at Sisters
Ferry. He fianked Macon bat did not stop
to occupy it.
He whipped Wayne's and Cobb's militia
at Oconee bridge driving them in every
direction.
NEw YoRK. Dec. 9.-Receut proceedings
in the Texas legislature look very much
as though that State even with her in
grained secession doctrine was about to
secede from the empire OF jeff, Davis
Resolutions have been introduced in that
body denouncing as unconstitutional Da-
Wis proposal to emancipate the slaves and
abridge the freedom of the press, de-
cIaring that the States are not amenHble
to the Richmond government, aud advis
ing the other States not to submit TO its
usurpations.
The Richmond Dispatch OF the 9th says:
Sherman seems to be becoming more timi d
or more exhausted. For Eve days up to
last Friday, he made only miles per day.
He has lost go much time and given the
coufederates an opportunity to gather that
he must of necessity strike for Savannah
or Beaufort. He was expected at Savannah
on the 26th ult., and all that night ship
ping off that point threw up signal rock
cts for his guidance.
The Richmond papers, say that Grant
is masstng on the extreme right of the ar.
my Of the James, and attacks by him there
and by the left of the army of the Potomac
were expected.

m A PIor Fon A JAN DELIVERY


H. A PLOT FoR JAIL DELIVERY
NiPPED IN THE BUD.-A young fellow,
uamed Frederick Devere, stole a gold
watch from WIN. Otterson at Balls tavern,
in this city, little over a year ago. he
was arrested, tried, and convicted before
the Circuit Court, and sentenced to one
years imprisonment in the county jail,
which, as our readers are aware, is now
used as State prison, His time expired
on the Tth. As he was about bidding
farewell to the gloomy prison walls, Tailor
Jones, who had noticed some suspicious
movements on Frederick's part, invited
him into what is known as the debtors
room, and requested him in an urbane
manner, to please proceed to peel himself.
Mr.. DeVere reluctantly complied, and sue
ceeded in unburrowing couple of letters
in the handwriting of Mr.. Dusky, the
amiable guerrilla, who is now an inmate
of the jail, and of whom our readers have
doubtless heard quite es much as they de-
sire to know. Like an enterprising oil
man, jaiIor Jones was not disposed to
abandon the search with these indications
of something rich before him, and went
down little deeper into the pockets of
Mr.. DeYere's troWser5 Notwithstanding the
continued protestatious on the latter gen.
tlemau's part that he had nothing more of
a reasonable character about his clothes.
The jaiIor's industry was rewarded by the
- Il =, ,,alI copcosIaJ Iatt.- from, q
coavict, named John @. Shelton, to his
wife.
Ia this letter Mr.. Shelton says he pro-
poses to leave the jail soon, and that he is
going to Canada. he instructs his wife,
like shrewd, deep rascal that he is, how
she must act to avoid suspicion in fur
nishiug him with the means of escape, and
tells her that che must place the most
abiding faith in Mr.. DeVere, in oOnse.
quence of that gentleman's being supposed
to be ''all right" which Heaven knows he
is not, for he is all wrong, and ought never
to have been permitted te go his way with
out hindrance as he was. Well, in this
letter Shelton instructs his wife how she
must acbI now SUI must lOOhl "uhG SuC
must say, what she must do and what she
must not do, evinctng a knowledge of hu-
man nature and degree of cunning and
cultivated craft, that stamp him as rogue
of the first water, aud if the iustruc-
tions had been conveyed and carried out,
1t is possible the rascal might have made
his escape. The jaiIOr, after possessing.
himself of the letters, requested Mr.. De-
we're to break for tall timber, and he was
not slow to take the advice.
The letters of our gentle friend Dusky
were rather harmless than otherwise. They
were full of expressions of ardent affection
for the person addressed, and abounded in
vile abuse of the jailor, who is described asa
person who might have been aPrOfessiOnal
hapgman before he came to this country
from England.
The Tailor deserves great credit for the
sagacity and promptness which he has
manifested in this as in other matters
coming under his official control
