Two Southe.ners named Payne, who had
until lately been living for some time 10
Detroit, and who had been ordered away
on account OF their blockade running pre-
pensiiies, q few days since came over from
Windsor to Dstroit, and were arrested by
the provost Marshal's fercs. They claim
ed they were U. s. government detectives,
bat their story wes dsbeleved, with good
reason. as both were fully identified as
being a part Of the gang who robbed the
St. Albans Bank. They were recognized
by The President Of that institution, who
iosoed" one Of them bis hat, the robber
having lost his own. Gov. Smith, OF Ver.
mont, sent after the individuals, and they
were on Monday evening started under o
strong guard for st. Albans, where they
will be handed over TO the civil authorities
for trial. The evidence Of their guilt seems
to be perfectly clear. aud as they have
taken the oath OF allegiance, they will not
attempt to get up claim that thsv are
guilty OF nothing bal, q ,bslligersni act.

Gen, Schofield occupied Wilmington on the
22d. There was moro or less skirmishing as
our troops advanced, but no serious resistance
since the evacuation Of Fort Anderson. As
the monitor has BEEN made to figure sc .ncwhat
largely as the efficient cause Of the retreat from
Anderson, it is worth while to notice that tue
evacuation was a fact caused by the movement
| Of Gen. Cox, which turned the fort and threat
ened to cut of its communication with Viii
mington.
The few troops that occupied the town have
gone to join the gathering forces of BeauIe
gard in front OF Gen. Sherman. But it would
be mistake to suppose any considerable num-
Der 10 thus released. Since the capture oi
Fort Fisher BY Gen. Terry, the surrender o
| Wilmington has been foreseen necessity to
the Rebels, and it will be found that Gen
Scho6eld garDers only the empty husks OF
what was once fruitful town. The military
store and the cotton have been removed or
burned, and the shipping destroyed. The Reb-
els held on to the town no longer than was
necessary to enable them to complete their
arrangements for giving it up.
Savannah, Charleston, Wilmington, have
fallen in quick succession and the policy Of
abandoning the coast line which has long been
debated among tn, Rebels as q question of
expediency is now accepted as a necessity.
We infer that Richmond is soon to follow the
example of Wilmington, aud that Lee
whether or not he fights She rman in the heart Of
North Carolina, has made up his uiud to defend
in future nothing but the interior portion OF
that territory which the Rsbe lion claims as its
own. 1t is already iutimated that Petersburg,
concentration Gid not Involve the surrender
of the coast liue but the policy Of fighting to
the bitter end, and OF maintaining an army in
the field after the capital aud the political
hopes Of the Confedracy are gone, does.
