LOCAL MATTERS.
UNCLE SANS MAIL.
a Richmond Lcttcr-Carricr UnGaith-
full to His Trust H. Arrested
and Confcsscs His Crime.

For months past many of our merchants
have had occasion 10 complain 10 the post
Office officials here OF losses Of letters con-
Timing rcmittanccS. orders. &c. The mat
ter having been referred to The Department
at Washington. Inspectors Henderson and
Smith were detailed to come TO Richmond
and work IN the ca,e. They arrived here
FRIDAY. and after consultation with Mr.
Anderson. superintendent OF letter-cGr-
ricrS. and other officials. called in In
Spector GiddingS, and commenced
opcrations-fir>t, TO collect facts, and
second to make evidence. They then
deposited five test or docOy-ictterS in
the mail. addressed TO different parties,
which were distributed 10 various carriers.
-Four Of these reached their proper destina-
ton. but the iiilh letter. containing 800
i'm marked money, and addressed to W. :.
Pitcher. Slj Main street, failed. Thomas
f. Harvey. the white lcttsr-carrier on that
route. at once fell under suspicion, and
his subsequent movements were closely
watched. and with satisfactory results.
When he made his returns TO Superiutcnd.
cnt Anderson silver hali-dollar which had
been marked and put in the Pitcher letter
was found i'm the money turned in.
idlNtN WAS ~ 'h'C "i''t'u' N''i ''i' u'
and the remainder OF marked money (S2)
found upon him. The letter had been de-
,troycd Harvey thcreupon acknowledged
lis guilt. and was soon after taken before
Cnitcd states Commissioner PicasantS.
The prisoner, however, waived IN cN-
animation, and was committed 10 Jail to
await the action OF the grand jury Of the
United states Court, which meets to-mor-
row.
Hatvey has been q lcttor-carrier here for
some three or four years. Upon being
questioned. to Inspector Henderson he
said that he formerly lived in Cincinnati,
where lie was employed in the rost-otice
in similar capacity. His record there
will doubtless he looked into by the o.
fcers. He has 4 wife and two children
living i'm this city.

fubject, In which he deplored the necessity
or executing the order, and expressed the
hope that 1t could be avoided.
On Sunday, April 2. 1855, General Ewell
sent Tor me, informed me that the city must
be evacuated, and directed me to prepare
for burning the warehouses aforesaid, but
not to apply fire until the last moment. |
sent officers to these three warehouses with
orders to prepare combustibles in such
manner that they could be quickly fired.
and to place sufficient guard at each to
prevent any disturbance.
also sent an officer TO communicate with
the Chief OF the Fire Department Of the
city, TO inform him OF the location OF fire.
and to require him to have the fremen and
their engines on The ground TO prevent the
spread Of the flames. The officer reported
that he had communicated with the person
second in authority, the Chief Of the Fire
Department being out OF the city.
During Sunday night was several times
at the office OF the Secretary Of War Gen
eral Breckinridge) | recOjlcet that in
formed him OF the orders ! had received,
and Of the action had taken. He said that
it was a necessity; that the orders must be
carried out, with all precautions taken to
prevent q spread OF the fire.
My final orders from General Ewell were
to remain in the city as long as | could
with safety, and to preserve order as far as
possible with the troops under my COM
mand, and to fire the tobacco before left.
General EweIl and General Breckenridge
left the city together, by way Of Mayo's
bridge, about or little before daybreak Of
Monday, Sd OF April. parted with them
at the corner OF Fourteenth and Cary
streets as they rode of.
General Ewell said to me, Just as he left,
that the firing Vi tobacco could not be
longer delayed.
| gave the orders 10 TWO OF the men with
me. and they at once communicated them
to the officers on guard ut the warehouses.
The fire was applied ~ once at Shockoe
and Won Gromng's warehouses.
The officers at the warehouse at the Pc
tcrSburg depot sent me word that num-
Der of wounded Confederate soldiers had
been laid in thas warehouse, and that they
could not be removed. directed the COM
buStiblcs collected at tha, place to be re-
moved, and countcrmanded the order for
burning il.
The night was remarkably still. re-
marked the fact several times during the
night that there was not breath OF air
stirring. Very soon after the warehouses
were fired the wind rose from the south
east, and i'm short time quite a breeze wa.
blowAlg from that direction.
left the city Just about sunrise Monday
morning by the Riyor-road or ilank-r0ad.

The Election Cases.

Judges Hughe, and Bond were both in

JUDGE JOHN A. MEREDITH.

| was residing in the city on the 2d ana

the evening OF the 2d OF April by the City
Council to accompany the Mayor, Judge
LYONS. and portion OF the Council to
meet the Federal troops and surrender the

nronerty. 4 letter 10 that effect was pre-
pared that night, and the next morning de-
iiyered by the Mayor TO the officer COM
manding the first detachment OF troops that
entered the city.
We LEFT the citv about half-past o'clock
in the morning Of the ID, and reached the
outer line of fortificati0ns before day
break. and before sunrise the last detach-
mcnt Of Confederate cavalry, under Gene
raj Gary, passed us on lheir way 10 Rich
mOnd.
A short time thereafter a company OF
Federal cavalry, commanded by Major Ste
yens, appeared. We met them, and the
Mayor handed the letter To hlm.. On read
ing it ne remarked that they had learned
that morning OF the evacuation OF the city,
and that stringent orders had been issued
t. protect persons and property, and that
we need not feel any Apprehension OH that
subject.
After some conversation ABOUT the best
mode OF preserving order In the city he
proposed to the Mayor to accompany him.
