& Allen; also, for setting fire to Snyder's building, and being suspicious characters, were examined for the above offences; also, for breaking into the Government clothing warehouse, on 14th street, and the confectionery shop east side of the Custom House, and committed for a further hearing on next Monday. John Dunbar and James Elmore were committed for examination on next Saturday, for stealing a horse from Lieut. Hugh L. Berne, of the 2d Mississippi regiment, about six miles up the Brook road. The case was delayed for the evidence of a party to whom they offered to sell the horse. Charles Gray, a soldier, was arraigned for getting drunk and yelling on Broad street. In explanation, he stated that he had been wounded at Sharpsburg and sent to the Louisiana Hospital.--After being cured, he said he was "retailed" there as nurse. The Mayor said it was a pretty situation for a nurse to be placed in. He should "retail" him before the Provost Marshal. Brown, slave of C.

Highway robbery. --On Saturday last, two men clad as soldiers, and each armed with a musket, arrested a servant belonging to a gentleman residing on the Brook turnpike, about a half mile above the turnpike gate, and, under the pretence that they had been sent out from Castle Thunder to arrest all persons found on that road and take all money from them, they robbed him of thirty dollars and escaped. The negro had his master's pass with him at the time. Robberies of this nature on the Brook road are very seldom perpetrated — It is hardly necessary to say that guards are not sent out from Castle Thunder to arrest persons on country roads. The thieves adopted the expedient of saying so, because it enabled them to accomplish their roguery under color of authority.

Suburban Robberies are now of nightly occurrence, and can only be prevented by the establishment of a county police. A few sights since the stable of Mr. James Lyons, on the Brook road, was entered for the third time and all his harness stolen. The County Court ought to establish a patrol on the suburbs to prevent these continuous depredations.

Daring raid of the enemy — they Approach within three miles of the City — their Repulse on the Brook road — reported Fighting on the Westham Plank road. The raid of the enemy, so sudden and unexpected, has so completely interrupted telegraphic communication that little is known of the damage inflicted by them on the Virginia cting any material damage. It was reported last night that this column had encamped about five miles from the city on the Mechanicville road. In the fight on the Brook road, Col. Stevens had one man killed and seven wounded. This force of the enemy is variously estimated at from 1,000 to 5,000 cavalry, and a battery of artillery.risoners, captured at different points along the line of the enemy's routes, have been brought in. They say that the column of their forces which approached on the Brook road are under Gen. Kilpatrick, and that the column which went into Goochland is commanded by Gen. Gregg.

The raid around Richmond — Capture of parties of the enemy — the fighting on the Brook road and on Green's Farm. Since our yesterday's issue, some additional particulars have reached us of the operations of the enemy on Tuesday. Kilpatrick's division, marching by the mountain road from Louisa, reached the Brook about 9 o'clock A. M., and quartered upon Mrs. Hillyard's farm. They sent forward a detachment with eight pieces of cannon along the Brook road to the vicinity of Battery No. 9, Brook road to the vicinity of Battery No. 9, and formed a line of battle on Mrs. Taylor's farm, about one mile and a quarter from the battery. The line was formed of cannon, supported by dismounted sharpshooters. The latter approached during the artillery duel which ensued to within 175 yards of the battery, being shielded by Col. J. A. Parker's house, near the turnpike From this point they succeeded in killing one and wounding three of our men, belonging to the command of Col. Stephens, at the battery. They were finally driven off by

morning as the divisions of Gen. Hill, engaged yesterday, were being relieved, the enemy advanced and created some confusion. The ground lost was recovered as soon as the fresh troops got into position, and the enemy driven back to his original line. Afterwards we turned the left of his fresh line and drove it from the field, leaving a large number of dead and wounded in our hands, among them Gen. Wadsworth. A subsequent attack forced the enemy into his entrenched lines on the Brook road, extending from Wilderness Tavern on the right to Trigg's Mill. Every advance on his part, thanks to a merciful God, has been repulsed. Our loss in killed is not large, but we have many wounded, most of them slightly, artillery being little used on either side. I grieve to announce that Lieutenant General Longstreet was severely wounded and General Jenkins killed. General Pegram was badly wounded yesterday. General Stafford, it is hoped, will recover. R. E. Lee.
