MILITARY CoURT.--Mary Digs, (colored,) was
brought before this Court on a charge of larceny.
The evidence clearly proved that Mary had sur
reptitiously opened the wardrobe of Mrs. Louisa
Fitchett and ''gone through it." About one hun
dred dollars worth of crinoline and calico ixins
had been removed by Mary, without the knowl-
edge or consent of the owner. She denied the
charge, but the evidence was too conclusive for
her liberty. She was fined $50, and in default
committed to the city Jail for thirty days.
Anderson Wilkins, (colored,) belonging on
board the schooner Ann Turner, of New York,
now near Smithfeld, was charged with 'sgoing
through" the wardrobe of Mr.. Taylor, the Mate
of said schooner, and stealing two coats, two
shirts, one pair of boots, &c. He did not deny
the charge, but said he took the articles because
they would not pay him. The evidence went to
prove that he was trying to effect his escape with
the articles, and was arrested in Smithfeld. He
was committed to the hard-labor prison for trial
before military commission.

MAYoh's CouRT, Norfolk, Oct. 4M.-Alies
Watson complained of H. Stephens and his wife
Matilda, who, she said, had abused her, and
threatened to reduce her to state of nudity by
tearing off her clothing, and then to scald her by
the application of hot water. Mr.. Stephens, who
appeared in the garb of a warrant officer of the
U. s. Navy, stated that he had been away, and
that when he retarned he found things in pretty
general state of commotion; that he wanted
to get Miss Alice out of his house, and expected
no peace until that was effected. Mrs. Stephens
acknowledged that she had told Miss Alice that
she would strike her-"or any other man"-if
she said so and so, ''and so she would" Thee
Mayor was convinced that, while no one might
be scalded, there was pretty pickle of warm
water on the premises, decided to bind all the
parties over to keep the peace. They readily
gave the required security and retired.
DR.. G. W. Dow applied for and procured an
instrument for the attachment Of the personal
property of Mrs. Josephene Andrews, nee Bunk
ley, by which he could secure debt of fifty dol
lars, due him by that party for medical atten-
dance

Portsmouth was, on Tuesday night, in perfec
uproar. All over the streets crowds of noisy

heads" and, we are inclined to think, to the ter
ror of the police, as no arrests were made, anG
consequently we can chronicle no particulars.

term, should be taken from the South-a
STAKEHOLDER, and in the interest of the slave
power, and the next term from the North
erh States-and SO on alternately, as long as
the Government should endure. That was
the proposition of the gentleman who Is
now President of the United States, who
can make and unmake military district
commanders, who, can revoke their orders
when issued in the interest of arbitrary
power, as he did the order Of one, Major
General Slocum, the other day In the State
of Mississippi. What was the motive of
Mr.. JohnsOnin what he did In December,
1860? The same as mine--to bring peace
and quiet to the country, to preserve the
! Union, to put an end to the agitation of this
question, by requiring, however, in the case
of his proposition, that the people Of the
United States should maKeia stakeholder
/ President Of the United States one four
years and +non-slavehOlder the next. l
I proposed to Ignore slaverylas the dividing
I line, and, for the sake of peace and union,
that there should be four sections recog,
nized in the Electoral College in the cleo
tion of President of the United States, and
upon certain questions which might arise
there and in the Senate Of the United
States. That proposition as much for
the benefit Of the Northwest as for the
