Judge h. Z. Pitts, OF Norfolk, held a spe-

This was because the newlv-appointed

LoupouN COUNTY, June Il, 1863.
Torpid old Loudoun seems 10 be rouSinS
from her lcthargy, and Walkers late VISIT
has been the live coal upon the terrapln
back. The favorable impression made by
his appearance and demeanor, the effect ol
hi> pledge, if elected, to use his power for
the good OF Virginia and NirSinians,
amount almost TO enthusiasm with those
who were privileged 10 hear him in Lees
burg on Wednesday. Many to whom the
proposed constitution is utterly odious VIII
vote Tor it and against the obnoxious clauses,
hoping to get the right men rs lawmakers,
and thereby deprive it of its venom.
As Tor the negro vote, it will Of course be
cast for Wells, though with the secretlHenesS
which is Inherent in their natures they
keep quiet and affect but little interest III
politics.
Harvest is coming on rapidly, and the
wheat. 80 far, has escaped the ills to which
that very uncertain crop Is heir. Corn Is
not 80 promising, in consequence OF The cold
weather which has prevailed this mouth.

Main streets, caused by the arrest of
young MIN of gentecl appearance on

name. The indiscreet youth, being SUBJ
ject to fits Of admiration of ''the human
form divine" had esconced himself Snugly
under wooden platform in front of Mr..
Joel B. Watkins's office, where, lying flat of
his back, he was enjoying an Illicit view of
the pretty feet and hose Of the lady pedes-
trians who passed that way. from this line
point of observation he was hauled out by
officers Wood and Pleasants and taken
before Justice Favier. But the heart Of
the magistrate being touched by the poor
fellows assurances of regret and promises
of amendment, he was released with the
injunction to ego and sin no more"

THH MILITARY INvEsTIGATIoN.-Thec case
of Captain Gambler and Scrgcants Bull and
Rooney, charged with having arrested James
L. Hickman and William Stephens without
n warrant, which was continued from the
Saturday previous, was again brought up
on last Saturday before Commissioner Ham
brick. A number of witnesses were eX-
amined, whose evidence proved that war
rant had been sworn to before Justice Pee
bles, and was in the hands of the officers
when the arrests were made. Two negro
witnesses also testified that the house Of the
complainants was 4 notoriously bad one,
and that it was the resort Of bad characters
of both sexes and colOrs.
In view of the above facts the case was
dismissed by Major Hambrick, the officers
having done nothing but their duty.
The charge of black-mailing,. however,
against Justice PEBBLES was sustained by the
evidence Of the negroes and also by that OF
the policemen. The papers in the case were
sent to General Candy, endorsed with the
foregoing decisions.

Ho FOR CUBA-THE RECRUITING OFFICER
DIscuARGED.-An account of the arrest of
III. I'll. Harrison, who is charged with Ylo-
latne the neutrality laws by elllisting re-
crllits for the Cuban revolutionary army,
has already been published.
Mr.. Harrison was brought before United
States Commissioner Chahoon on Saturday,
and underwent a kind of examination OH the
charge above stated, but there seemed to
have been little effort made to collect tcsti-
mony, as it is supposed that the Govern
ment only wishes to make show of EN-
forcing the neutrality laws, so tar as Cuba is
concerned.
Detective Knox, upon whose information
the arrest was made, said that he did not
know Mr.. Harrison, but had heard young
men mt his Office talking about going to
Cuba. Witness had made the COM
plant ut the instance of Mrs. Haley, who
thought her son had been induced to join
the iilibllsters. Saw Mr.. Haley at the door
of the supposed recruiting office men were
constantly passing in and out.
Wellington NJ. Haley, the young man
alluded to by Mr.. Knox, stated to the Com
missioner that he went to the office OF
"Captain Smith i'll consequence OF an ad-
vertisement promising veterans out OF en-
ploymcnt thirty dollars monthand bounty
of 800. The men about the office told him
they had come there in search OF employ
mcnt. Heard 10 allusion to Cuba except
street gossip.
Clinton Dcpriest dcposcd that he was at
the office under the Exchange Hotel, and
knew Mr.. Harrison. lie did not know oili-
cially of an expedition to Cuba.
After hearing this desultOry evidence the
Commissioner decided to dismiss the case.
There seems no doubt, however, about
Captain Smiths being 4 bona Jtide Cuban re-
cruiting office, but it is hoped that few OF
our young men will be so rash ;,s to embark
in the undertaking with its attendant pri-
yations and very slim prospects Of success.
Whatever you do, young men, don't let
anything induce you to leave Richmond
until after the 9Th of July.
