THIS Is a sad day to all ex-Confeder
stes, except the gushers among them,
for it is the Seth anniversary of the day
on which, save only and except for the
idiotic faulty of their leaders, they
would have captured Washington, re-
leased Maryland and Kentucky from
federal control, been recognized by fol-
eign nations, and compelled the abo.
litionists of the North to submit to the
wishes of the conservative men of that
section, and acknowledge their indie.
pendence. The war would then have
been over within the prophesled time
of sixty days, the lives of their com.
rades been saved, their country not
been laid waste, and they and all their
( lends not been impoverished. There
was nothing between Manassas and
Washington to prevent the victorious
Confederate army from entering that
CITY, and the CLINT of a Confederate bay
onet on this side of the river
would have caused it's evacuation.
O. all military mistakes, the fail
ure to advance upon Washington on
the evening of the 2lst of July, 1861, is
tAe worst on record.

A SENSATIONAL AFFAIR.

Norfolk city is astir over the arrest OF
three well-known young men, charged
with the abduction of the young wife of
one of their number, who recently
eloped with him against her mothers
wishes. The young lady is highly con.
nected. She was Miss Lillian Balm, of
Portsmouth, and Joseph Cannon, her
husband, is the son of a wealthy mer-
chant. The other parties arrested were
Guy Hall and William Smith. The
warrant against Hall charges him with
the detention of Mrs. Cannon against
her will for unlawful purposes, and
the warrants against the other two
charge them with aiding and abetting
Hall. These warrants we're sworn out
by Mrs. Balm, mother of Cannon's wife.
Interest in the affair was heightened
by the fact that Mrs. Cannon had been
missing for about week, and could not
be found. 1t was said that young
woman had been seen at Ocean View
last Sunday with Hall, and he admit
ted when arrested that he knew where
Mrs. Cannon was, but would not tell
unless he was allowed to go after her.
This was refused. The three prisoners
we're locked up, bail being refused
them.
The detectives made diligent search
for Mrs Cannon, and she was yester-
day morning found at Mrs. Kings
boarding house over grocery On east
Main street. The case was called three
times in the police court and continued
each time. At three o'clock, Mrs. Can
non being too excited to appear against
her husband, the case was continued
until to. day, and the prisoners were re-
leased in $500 bond each.
