FORT MONROE, Va, March 2l.The energetic
efforts Of Calvin Pepper, Esq, lawyer OF Norfolk
and his cOadiutOrs, in the lately agtated scheme,
entitled Tie Land and Homestead Settlements,
iDtended for operation among the negroes residing
ON the Peninsula. received its quetus this morning
FROM MaiOr-Generai Miles commanding the post, IN
nm order arrcsting Mr. Pepper and holding nm IN
durance preparatory to forwarding him to the head
quarters OF the department. at Richmond, for the IN
yestigation of his plans and purposes. Since the
late meeting in Hampton, Mr.. Pepper with other
orguatOrs of the scheme, encouraged by the almost
total abandonment Of the Florida emigration move
nent. have been aSsidu0usly engaged in holding
fr,uuent meetings and scattering t0urlShng pros
n.ctuses among the cOlOred residents OF Hampton
nnd the surrounding country BY such means quite
diversion has been created in favor OF the PROJECT,
and sums varying from fifty cents to SiOO' the form
err amount greatly preponderatnS, have already
been subscribed. and the interest of the freedmen
raised 10 such degree that all ideas OF an emigra-
ton to Florida, or another state nave completely
PASSED away from their minds. These sums oil
money thus collected asserted by Mr. Pepper, are
at once deposited in the National Freedmen's Sa-
wings Bank at Norfolk, and are eventually destined
for investments in tracts OF land on the peninsula,
or i'm other portions of the State, on which extensive
settlements are to be made and hOmesteads for the
destitute aS well as the weltOdO freedmen erected,
and all the other COnvenences OF modern clvlliza-
tion secured without the necessity of an emigration
10 Florida The extensive proportions which these
designs were gradually assuming, and, apparently,
without the support and cooperation OF those most
interested in the welfare OF the freedmen, INDUCED
General Miles to institute a searching investigation
AS 10 the modes of operation, and to suggest more
stringent regulations of the proceedings which had
/ the appearanCe of only an enormous swindle. In
accordance with this design Mr.. Pepper was waited
upon in Hampton, 4 few days ago, by Lieutenant
Fessenden of the Fifth United States Artillery who
handed him the following document, which explains
itself:
HEADQUARTERS MILITARY District OF Va,
FORT MONROE, March II, 1850.
Cqlrm Pepper, Esq:
Sir-The Major. General Commanding directs me
to say. as you are now collecting funds from the
freedmen Of this district, and giving receipts without
names or dates documents totally illegal, and as
YOU are under no bonds or obligations whatever,
YOU are hereby directed 10 cease transactions ana
refund the money So collected. This "fi2r Will not
however prevent your assisting the freedmen Ia
forming an organization for the purchase of lands,
with proper responsible officers.

From passenger who arrived on the
steamer Armada, we learn that on
the 4th, an old difficulty was renewed
between two men named Lum. Hat
field and Tom Waller, at Raleigh,
Kentucky, and fight ensued. Hat
field cut Waller in the thigh with a
pocket knife, severing the femoral
artery. Waller fell among some weeds
where he was found few moments
afterward quite dead. Hatfield was
pursued and arrested as he was about
to cross the river, and is now in jail at
Morganfeld. Both had served dur
ing the war as guerrillas and were
desperate characters.

|. LODGED IN JAIL.-A woman was
taken up in a state of intoxication
yesterday and lodged in Jail. Upon
investigation of her case before the
Recorder, it was ascertained that she
had been married by Esquire Walker
two or three times in the year past,
that she now lived outside of the cor
poration in the bayou above the city,
by a large log. She, of course, had
no money to pay fine, and in conse-
quence of that fact was discharged
with orders to leave the city in twen-
ty-four hours. We understand that
she got drunk again in half an hour
after she was discharged. She is a
hard case, and should be made to
leave the city.

THE Pow-wow.-The Courier of
yesterday morning says, in speaking
of the great Democratic pow-wow of
night before last:
There must have been at least
three thousand people present, inclu-
ding several ladies"
There is not candid Democrat in
the city, that will risk his reputation
for truth and veracity on a statement
that there were over five hundred
voters there when the crowd was the
largest; and when the last yelp was
given there were not one hundred and
twenty-five, a great many of whom
were Republicans. How are you
5000 people?
In another part of the Curriers' re-
port we find the following:
I" The hearts of patriots were made
glad last night by the glorious turn
out of the people One of the largest
assemblages we ever witnessed was
present to greet Mr.. Cofroth.
That is rich, decidedly rich. A
crowd of five hundred men and 'ssev-
eral ladies, one of the largest assem-
blages of people the Courier man ever
witnessed. Why not tell the truth,
even though your cause is dying out.
If Coffroth is the big gun with which
it is expected to fight the Union party
in this part of the State this fall, our
folks will have an easy job of it. IF
the Courier had told the plain truth,
he would have said that the grand
opening Of the campaign was a great
failure.
