White. House is still an object OF some I'M
portance % the enemy.
FRoM The JAMEs.-There was nothing
of importance in progress on yesterday.-
The affair Of the batteries and gnnboats,
Il and OF H0Wlett's House on Tuesday
amounted to little Of importance. In the
prpgrsss Of affairs, the iron clad Virginia
refusing to work, an investigation revealed
8 chisel in one of her cyliyders, contact
with which had slightly injured the piston,
and disabled her for the time; whether
this was the work of treachery or OF Grim
inal cafelessness remains to be seen.
FRud Observation-Disclosures from
Lynchburg on yesterday state that the last
heard from the Yankee raider Hunter was
when he had arrived at Liberty. He is
gone kitting somewhere, but nobody knows
where. ~ y IS 3 ~ -
The Republican says that the tle-feld
of Sunday last presented a ghastlf specta
Gle. A circumstance connected with the
enemy's dead is worthy Of notice. as show
ing the accuracy Of the aim Of our sharp
shooters. A gentleman undertookto count
the dead as they lay on the field, and to
note the place where each was shot. VI
46 so counted, 2 were struck in the head,
and death appeared to have instantaneous
"a meet and proper fate for the ruthless
invaders.
The enemy throw away large number
of arms, pistols, and swords. both on the
battlefield and on the route of their re.
treat. Knapsacks, haversscks, canteens,
&C., were also profusely strewed about, and
many we're picked up.by citizens who visited
the field and passed along the roads.
In many localities on both the Salem
and forest roads trees were felled, and
blockades of fence rails and stones were
made to impede pursuit. In removing these
some hours were lost by our men.
| The scene of desolation and ruin in the
neighborhood of this city near where the
enemy made their line of battle, is posi-.
lively appalling. The people were stripped
4 of everything. Fences were torn down,
!! crops trampled upon, and every species Of
l vandalism that savages could think of was
| practiced. Hogs, sheep, cattle, and poul-
try, were stolen and carried off, and when
not needed for food, were wantonly slaugh'
tered and left to rot on the ground.
! FROM THE VALLEY-A gentleman who
arrived from Staunton on yesterday states
that Yankees are no longer seen or heard
of in that vicinity, nor at Harrstown, Lex
! ington, and their respective neighborhoods
The damage done by Hunter was very ex
tensive, many of the farmers having been
plundered Of all their grain, cattle, and
other stock. Every establishment Of
general public utility was destroyed along
their route.

From the Detroit Free Press,
A Citizen Of New York Arrest.
ed in Michigan.

On the 10Th of May last, Mr.. Alexander
Fl. Jannison, of Niagara county, New
York, was arrested in this city and taken
to the guard house at the barracks. Ht
was in this city on business, and on the af,
ternoon of the 18th May, as he was walking
along the street, an officer tapped him Up
on the shoulder and invited him to 90 tc
the provost. From hero he was taken to
the barracks without permission being
granted to go to his hotel or any other
place for the purpose of being identified, or
satisfying all parties interested in his low
atty to the Government. No charges were
made against him and he was not informed
of the cause of hls arrest, although he de-
manded to know the cause.
A portion of the time that he remained
at the barracks he was closely confined in
a most filthy hole with the worst criminals.
His money and ell his effects were taken
away from him he was not allowed to
have food furnished him from outside, and
was not permitted to Communicate with
any of his friends. Something more than
week ago he was taken from the barracks
to the House Of Correction, where he was
closely confined in a cell and compelled to
live on prison diet. Yesterday afternoon,
about half past FIVE o'clock, Mr.. Brockway
superintendent Of the House of Correction,
called him from his cell into the Office Of
the prison and told him that he was free to
60. There were no papers, no officers, no
explanation of the cause of his arrest and
detention. -
de was simply told to 90, and up to this
moment he has never been told why he
was arrested, nor were there any charges
made sgainst him, nor any trial. He does
not know Why he was arrested, why he was
detained ia close confinement more than
month, nor why be was finally discharged.
Inc above statement of facts H. brief, but
there IS food for much thought. 1t will
bear pondering with much seriousness and
candor. Is not tie iron heel of q worse
than Austrian despotism upon the necks of.
American citizens?

The pressure upon the friends ola negro
soldiery, to show some military achievements
in justification of their bizarre preference,
compels them to the most ridiculous exag-
erations, and leads the less scrupulous a
mong them to the actual manufacture Of
negro "heroism" out of whole cloth. The
Cincinnati despaches to the Associated
Press Of Friday are an instance in point
By them We are told that in Sturgis's de-
feat:
"The colored troops were the, last to give
way" "The negro troops gathered ammu>
milton from the cast away accoutrements OF
the white troops, and thus were enabled to
keep up the fight until they reached Mem
phis." "One body of 1000 (whites) infant
ry which were cut off and supposed to have
been captured, were defended by 400 negro
troops from the repeated assaults of the
rebel cavalry" Another body of negro
troops came in Ito Memphis) having es'
capped by various roads. All brought their
arms and accoutrements with them"
The Hartford Times, commenting upon
this, says, with biting sarcasm
sit is quite evidenG from these despatch
es Saying nothing of the accuracy of the
estimated losses of colored troops) that
the battle was lost by the encumbrance OF
the white soldiers upon the blacks. The
whites threw away their ammunition, and
the blacks gathered it up and fought the
battle; but what most troubled the 200
blacks was the duty ofdefenGing 1000 whites
at the same time they were called upon to
whip the rebels We infer from these de
spatches that about all the white soldiers
are good for is to vote, when ordered to do
so. Should the gallant Africans be required
to whip the rebels, and defend the Federal
soldiers too? Why not furnish the colored
soldiers with ammunition; and not let them
depend upon that which the whites, in
their fright, throws away2 These Govern
ment dispatches, showing the valor of col
ored and the cowardice of white soldiers,
are rather astounding. The same sort of
stuffls also despatched from General Grants
Gneso

the battery at Howletts would, on yesterday
morning, renew their fire upon the Yankee
monitors lying East Of Dutch Gap; but
no cannon were heard in that direction up

FROM ARKANSAS.
Arkansas a Free stste The New State
Constitution Adopted by an Almost unsni-
nous Vote,

LITTLE Rock, ARK, March IS,
Partial election returns from eleven
counties give more votes than the whole
number required by the Presidents pro-
clamation to replose Arkansas in the I'M
ion. The other counties TO be heard
from, for,y-three in number, will give
fully 5000 more votes. The new State
Constitution framed by the late conven-
,icn was almost unanimously ratified,
there being, so far, only 1877 votes
against it. Arkansas is thus declared a
free State in the onion by the voluntary
action of its own citizens.
Governor Isaac Murphy and the whole
State ticket is elected. Guerrilla bands
made violent threats, Notwithstanding
which the citizens were enthusiastic in
their determination to vote the State
back into the Union, many going TO the
polls at the imminent risk Of their lives.
The military authorities used every exer-
tion to protect the voters.
