pieces had already been placed in battery enfilading the Huntersville road, which runs at right angles, if, indeed, those terms can be applied to serpentine mountain roads, from the turnpike. These guns were under the immediate charge of Captain P. B. Anderson, and the zeal, skill, and determination of that officer, leave no doubt that they would have done great execution had the enemy ventured to call them into action. Captain Shumaker's battery, consisting of four pieces, (six pounders,)oubtless have had inflicted upon us a very severe loss indeed, This fire was returned with great energy, and, as the result has proved, with signal effect, by the guns of Captain Shumaker and Captain Rice, and by one piece detached from Captain Anderson's battery and placed upon the hill occupied by Lieut. Col. Jackson. Lieut. Massie, its proper chief, being quite indisposed, although he maintained his position near his piece, it was placed under the command of Captain Deshler, Aide-de-camp
Called Court --A Called Court of Hustings, consisting of Aldermen Timberlake, Smith, Bray, Anderson, Lipscomb, and Binford, assembled yesterday, at 11 o'clock, at the City Hall, to examine John Hagan for alleged extortion in the matter of obtaining money from Jas.

On motion of Mr. Hunter, the unfinished business of yesterday, which was the consideration of Mr. Steger's amendments to the substitute presented by Mr. Hunter to the bill providing for a railroad connection between the Manassas Gap Railroad, at or near Strasburg, and the Winchester and Potomac Railroad, at or near Winchester, was taken up. Mr. Steger concluded his argument in favor of his proposed amendment, and was followed by Mr. Hunter in opposition. After a lengthy debate, Mr. Anderson, of Rockbridge, moved the previous question; which was carried.

On motion of Mr. Hunter, the whole matter was laid on the table. Mr. Barro
