fantry came looming up, and as they grew nearer and nearer, out from the doomed forts the garrison rushed with frantic speed for help and hope. Too late. As the dismounted men gained the ditches and the palisades, the reserved cavalry, whose steeds had all the long forenoon been champing impatient bits, dashed away after them in a long, fierce gallop. Sharp and brief the chase. When within five hundred yards of their friends, the Federals were overtaken, surrounded, ridden over, and Colonel Mitchell and four hundred and fifty of his officers and men surrendered unconditionally. They were immediately counter-marched and double-quicked to the rear, the bullets of their friends all the while ringing a discordant metre. "The immediate and tangible fruits of my expedition are 577 prisoners, including one field officer and eleven line officers, over 2,550 Federals killed and wounded, ten miles of railroad track completely destroyed, the ties torn up and burnt, the iron heated and b

my watch was gone. Besides these gentlemen, there were three or four negroes who had access to my room, and suspicion rested on the latter. I advertised the watch, offering a reward of one thousand dollars. In two or three days afterwards, Messrs. Mitchell & Tyler sent for me, and when I called to see them they handed me the watch. Captain Magruder went with me, and asked who left the watch there; but only received the reply, "Remember, no questions are to be asked." I have known Mr. Davis frthe watch by Saturday. I went out after a horse, leaving Davis with Mr. Williams; but when I came back he was gone. In a few minutes afterwards, a negro came into the office and handed us (myself and Williams) the watch. We carried it down to Mitchell & Tyler's, the place designated in the advertisement that it was to be left at, and received a check for one thousand dollars, as advertised. Upon being asked who we got the watch from, our reply was that the advertisement said "no questions wo

esses appeared and the case was dismissed. Philip Lambert was charged with fighting and disorderly conduct in the street. A policeman saw the accused Monday night in company with a drunken man, and saw him knock the drunken man down. He made no noise, and seemed perfectly sober. The Mayor required security in the sum of three hundred dollars for his good behavior for the period of twelve months. George Sullivan, a slender youth, was up for stealing a breastpin from the store of Mitchell & Tyler. Mr. Tyler said that, on the morning of the 22d, while he was wrapping up goods for a customer, the accused came in and talked about buying a breastpin, but while there he put one in his pocket without leave.
