CHARGE OF ATTEMPTED IxcESDIARrsx.-On
Saturday night, about 10 clock as the watch
men were passing the store of Overton W.
Edwards, No. s Wall street, they observed a
light in the house, and on going in, found
shat an attempt had been made to set it ON
fire. A barrel of whisky was running, and
several pieces Of candles were found cut and
lighted, with pieces of paper attached, and
in such a position rs to set fire to the whisky,
which was "spreading itself" about the
floor. No person was seen about the estab-
Ashment, and yesterday morning about 4
O'Clock Mr.. Edwards was arrested at his resi-
dence on the charge Of setting fire to the store
and taken to the cage. The store was insured
in the New York Insurance Company, of
which Mr.. Davenport is agent Edwards
halls from Norfolk where he was n merchant,
and in "COnfederate times " was connected
with the ordnance department in this city, with
the rank Of captain. If it should be proved
that he attempted to set fire to the store, it will
be shown that his object was to obtain the
amount of the insurance. Edwards is fifty
three years old. He was admitted to bail for
his appearance at the Mayors Court to-day.

LOCAL MATTERS.
TO SUBSCRIBERS

We have encountered the usual difficulties OF
starting new paper in reviving the Dispatch -
The arrangement Of routes for carriers, the finding
out the residences of subscribers, and above all,
the securing OF faithful carriers to deliver the
paper to them, involve great deal Of difficulty
and trouble. 1t takes little time and great
deal of patience and perseverance to smooth over
these troubles and systematze the distribution of
the paper. We are rapidly doing all this. Clerks
are industriously arranging the growing lists and
we are putting carriers on the routes, who will
soon become acquainted with them, and, we trust
faithfully deliver the paper. Subscribers, when
neglected, will please make the fact known at the
office.

Found DRowsED.-Yesterday morning, the
body of James McMahon, lately employed at
the Tredegar Works. was found in the canal,
Just above the Armory bridge. It appears
that he left his work ON Thursday night last,
and on his way home partook rather freely
of ardent spirits, and in passing along mar
row walkway, where there is no fence, just
above the place where he was found, he fell
into the water and was drowned. He had a
bottle of whisky in his pocket and pipe in his
hand when discovered. His wife had missed
him from his home since Thursday night, and
knew nothing of his whereabouts until yester-
day morning, when passing canalboat
stirred up the water and the body rose to the
surface. Coroner John p. Little was notified
but did not deem it necessary to hold an in
quest since there were no marks of violence and
1t was evidently case Of accidental drowning.
A small sum of money, found in his pockets,
was sent to his wife. The Coroner gave an
order for the interment of the remains.
