On Friday, the Yankees were engaged in clearing
the battlefield OF the Debris and little disposition
was exhibited ON their part to renew hostilities.--

general.
Thus was fought one of the most desperate bat

Army of Tennessee has yet engaged in. Hardee's
corps fought alone against almost the entire YAM

MAYORS CoURT, YEsTERDAy.-The docket in this
court yesterday was an unusually long one, though
but few Of the cases possessed any facts Of material

on Monday afternoon last, and the officers who in
vestigated the matter succeeded in gaining con-
fession Of guilt from the boys and recovering part
OF the goods from some negroes who had purchased

monltion
Martha, slave of John Schafer, Henry, slave of
s. NJ. Davis, and Edward. slave Of William Allen,

from an ambulance car at the Fredericksburg de-
pot belonging to James NJ. Taylor. These parties
purchased the goods alluded to fcem the three little

A small boy named Horace Hoyan was charged
with stealing hundred and fifteen dollars from

complainant did not appear, and the matter was

exchange, through the negotiations of ex-telleT
Butler. at Sutton & Co.'s banking house. Some
time since Butler resigned his position i'll the Trea-
sury Department and was turned over to Captain
Coke for eonscrption but in order to permit him to
superntend the settlement Of his accounts teller
he was granted sixty days filrlough, which after
wards was extended fifteen days more.
Since his resignation II had been his practice to
appear at the Treasury department once a day and
continue the examination Of hs accounts but up
to last Friday no defalcation had been discovered
against him. The reasons which induced him to
leave the Confederacy are, therefore, unknown to his
friends. 1t may have been that he was approaching
crisis in his accounts whit Government where
III irregularities occur, or that the time of his
extended fnriough had nearly expired and he had
been assured that no further Indulgence would be
gwen him, the dread of gUng IL the army prompted
him to leave.
Captain Knox obtained passport at the Provost
Marshais office upon his personal representation
that he had blind brother he wished to convey TO
Fredericksburg, and upon this false representation
merely, without any papers eatithng him or his
blind brother to passport, he vas furnished with
the necessary important papers to enable him to
carry out his purposes Butler it Is said, acted as
the blind brother and succeeded in getting ON the
train by wearing deep blue goggles, mafsing him
self up and leaning upon the arm Of Captain Knox.
