cialfrom the Army OF the Shenandoah, 22d,
says: Gen. Clusters division, after four days
absence. returned to-day from a reconnois-
sance to Lacy Spring, nine miles from Har-
risonburg. Early on Thursday morning
Rosser's cavalry attempted to surprise Gus
ter's camp, dashing in disguised in Union
uniforms, which for time produced much
confusion and prevented our men from dis
tinguishing friend from foe. They captured
fifty of the 1st New Hampshire cavalry,
but were soon overpowered, and they were
rccaptured, with the exception of three
men and Lieut.. Col. Hutchinson. Rhodes
old division of infantry advancing to attack,

felt here last night about o'clock, rocking
the earth and rattling the windows: sup
posed to be an explosion of great magni-
tude on the coast below Beaufort, as the
sound came from that direction. Probably
magazine exploded in fort at Whining

The gale which has prevailed for the
past few dayssubsided last night. Shipping,
which has been detained several days at
Beaufort, will be able to depait to-day.

@ POLICE COURT.

= tenders Put on Chain.
eesglj Gang, &c.

Business was quite brisk in the Mayors
Court on Monday morning. Eugene Nc
Dermott, the man who abstracted fifty-seven
dollars from Mr.. Whitzells shoe store on
Town street, on Friday, of which we gave
sketch in Saturdays STATESMAN, had an
Thomas required him to give bail in the
sum of one thousand dollars for his appear
ance on the first day of the next term of
the Court of Common Pleas, to answer to
the charge against him. Not complying
with this requirement, McDermott was sent
to the County Jail, there to await the sitting
of the, Court.
The case of John McGraff, Thomas Dunn
and William Thompson, charged with steal
ing forty-six dollars from Henry McNally,
came up for examination. Thompson was
discharged; but the other two we're required
to enter bail in the sum of one thousand
dollars each for their appearance at the next
term of the Court of Common Pleas, to an
swer to the charge of grand larceny. Fail
ing to give the required security, McGraff
and Dunn were sent to the County Jail for
safe keeping till the next session of the
Court.
Pennel Green, reputed chicken-thief,
was fined S. and costs, and sentenced to ten
days confinement in the city prison for be-
ing found straying about under suspicious
circumstances. 1t seems that when the po-
I,a ,i,,,r
bag with four undressed chickens in it,
with their heads cut off. How he came in
possession of these fowls he did not salts
factorily explain. No claimant for them
appearing before the Mayor, they were
given to Green's wife, who is said to bear
more unspotted reputation for honesty
than her liege lord.
Mary Harmon and Ann Sheridan, for
drunkenness, were each fined So and costs,
and recommitted to the prison. Mike
Grady, for the same offense, was fined So
and costs, and sent to the chain-gang to
work out the penalty imposed. John
Winslow, for the same offense, was fined 81
and costs, which he paid. Catherine Will
liams, for disorderly conduct, was fined So
and costs, which she paid.
Jacob ely appeared before the Mayor
under circumstances not very creditable to
his honesty, and hardly justifable, even if
he was, as was alleged in his favor, on
Christmas spree. 1t appears that on Sun
day night Jacob took it into his head to roll
: barrel of vinegar which he found outside
the Liquor store of Mr.. Ross on High street,
across the street to saloon nearly opposite,
where he offered the vinegar for sale. Off
Ger Freeland coming up, inquired of Jacob
where he had got the vinegar. His account
of the matter was not at all satisfactory,
and on examining the barrel, the name of
Mr.. Ross was found upon it, Jacob was
locked up, and in the morning, no prosecu-
ting witness appearing against him, the
Mayor fined him S. and costs, and in de-
fault of payment, sent him to the chain
gang.
Yesterday morning two cyprians-Ann
Clayton and Catharine Henderson-found
strolling about the streets and alleys of the
city, without being able to .give satisfac-
tory account of themselves, were each fined
50 and costs, and recommitted.

Mr. Armstrong presented the claim OF

ferred to the said committee.

ferred to the committee on Markets and
Market House, and the City Solicitor.
The ordinance to prevent cutting and
removing ice from the Scioto river, south of
the Penitentiary, was passed.
| The ordinance to build a sewer OH Fourth
street, from South street to the first alley
east of Sixth street, was amended and pass
ed.
Mr.. Buttles introduced an ordinance to

unteers, which was passed.
Mr.. Ross offered resolution, which was

the committee ON the Hare Charity Fund to
pay two hundred dollars to the managers

Adjourned to next Monday evening.
OPERA HoUsE.-On Monday night, the
Laura Keene Combination opened their ell
gagement before one of the largest au-
diences ever assembled in the Opera House,
with Goldsmith's play of ''She Stoops to
Conquer" which was repeated last night
to very fair audience, notwithstanding
the unpleasant state of the weather. The
performance was very creditable on both
evenings. Laura Keene, as Miss IIardcas-
tie, represented the character in its varied
phases with the ease, grace and beauty ofa
finished actress. She was well supported
in the prominent parts by Mr.. John Dyott,
as Mr. Hardcastle, and Mr.. Harry Hawk as
the rollicking, self-willed and tricky Tony
Lumpkin. Young Marlow, bashful and i'm
pudent by turns, was well represented by
Mr.. f. l.. Kent as was the stiff and precise
Digory by Mr.. G. w. Hooper.
Tonight the bills tell us that Cherry's
delightful comedy of "The Soldiers
Daughter" will be produced at the Opera
House. The Widow Cheerly will afford
Laura Keene fine scope to her great
power both in the comic and pathetic, and
the other characters will have, we doubt
not, their fitting representatives. There
are many fine passages in this play, which
require Combination, like that Of Laura
Keene's, to give them full effect. The
farce of "Sketches in India" will conclude
the EVENINGS entertainment.

Mr. j. ". DolBear-Sir We are de-
lighted and surprised at the ease with
which you have, in few hours, enabled
US to master the principles of PhOnOg-
rsphy.
The system is brief, simple and admi-
rably adapted to the wants of society.
It can never be opposed, except by those
who are ignorant Of its principles. Your
peculiar method of teaching it, renders
it's attsinm, mt not task, but an attrsc-
tive pleasure. The text book you nse
(Pitman's ManuaD is admirably arranged
for the pupil. By the invention of this
wonderful art, Piiman has placed his
name high on the roll of humsn bene-
factors, and we think it should be taught
to every child in the land.
To occupy the idle hours of camp life
it might be taught TO every company in
the army, without in the least interfering
with the duties of the soldier, prevent a
worse use of those idle hours, and, we
believe its attainment would be valued
ss highly as the pay received from the
Government.
