the effect, that inquiry having been made Of the

piled that he would be on Monday next, IL it
was necessary but that he thought if the time
vas extended a few days, the quotas would DO
filed without resort to drAhing and heres
We are told, the case rests, But il Il is true, !,
as reported in the Cincinnati Gazette, that
the Provost Marshal General had ordered a
suspension in all localities where efforts we're
being made TO Gil quotas, with fair success

TnE CASE OF THE ALLEGED BOUSTY JUMP
ERs The cases OF Smith, Moore and Scott
for alleged bounty jumping and burg larious,
intentions, was continued yesterday afternoon
in the office of the Provost Marshal In our
paper of yesterday, we gave an outline OF the
previous examination 'of Smith, from which
it appeared that he aud Morris, (upon whose
affidavit the arrests were made), according
to their own evidence, were simply endeaVor
ing to entrap each other, and that, in the 40
sence of corroborative testimony, question
of veracity between the two pariies-was all
there was Of the case. In the examination Of
Moore and Scott, yesterday, there was moth
ing elected to warrant their arrest or deteD'
ton, that we are able to discover. They tell
plain, honest seeming tales; aud # the prin-
ciple-that innocence is to be presupposed
until guilt is proverbs to hold good, we can
not see why they shonld not be discharged
The whole thing looks TO us good deal like
farce. We shall post our readers as to what
comes Of it,

have evacuated that place
They also state that "A Union column had

Oh, except by the road via Wilmington, North
Carolina, which will soon be cut at Whining
ton BY these operations, their eommunica-
ton between Virginia and the South is entire
" cut off, and rebel authority over the South

Private Adyiees from Richmond represent
matters there as in bad way for the rebels,
AHd the difficulty Of supplying the people and
the army even with half provisions is daily
becoming almost insurmountable, and tho
evacuation Of Richmond is daily becoming
more imminent and probable
