s aroused by footsteps in the back yard, and jumping out of bed she proceeded to investigate the matter, when the thieves ran off. Not dreaming that any further intrusion would be made upon the premises that night, the negro woman did not think it worth while to arouse the white folks, and laid herself down for the balance of the night. In the morning, however, it was found that the storeroom had been broken open and all the groceries on hand, consisting of about half a bushel of meal, five or six pounds of lard, fifty pounds of bacon, some coffee and sugar, and other articles of lesser value, carried off. Unsuccessful attempts were made on Wednesday night to rob the storerooms of Samuel P. Mitchell, on Main, near 1st street, and James C. McCarthy, near the corner of 6th and Canal streets. In the latter case the thief was frightened away by Lieut. Carter, of the night watch, who obtained possession of the brace and bit with which he was operating upon the door to the building.

From Petersburg. Petersburg, June 9. --The enemy, from three to five thousand strong, under General Kantz, made a desperate attempt to capture this city to day. They advanced in two columns, and after several assaults upon our works southeast of the city, in which they were repulsed, succeeded in flanking our forces and causing them to retreat, after fighting bravely. The Petersburg militia sustained the brunt of the first assaults, behaving like veterans, losing six killed and thirty wounded, some of our best citizens among them. Reinforcements came up after the enemy had gotten almost in the city, and drove them back. The Yankees are now retreating through Prince George.

The 10th of June. This day is the third anniversary of the battle of Bethel, fought in 1861. We were at that time, new to the trade of war, and judged of it only from the battles fought in Mexico, which Scott, with his accustomed pomposity, magnified into mighty affairs, though in point of fact they were little more than the skirmishes among kites and crows, to which Milton compares the rencontres of the Angle-Saxons. For this reason our victory on that day caused more exultation throughout the Confederacy than has ever been felt since, even upon the most extraordinary occasions. It was our first victory, and the first victory to a people for the first time at war, is like the first love, the first horse, the first dog, the first pair of boots, to the individual.

treme limit which the most moderate among them assigned to the "rebellion," as the assertion of their rights by an independent people was facetiously termed.--When Butler sent his six regiments from Old Point Comfort and Newport's News, to sweep Magruder out of his path, he no doubt believed that the operation was easy of performance, that it would open the way for him to Richmond, and that he would meet old Scott there at least as early as the 4th of July, or perhaps anticipate his arrival, and take all the glory for his own peculiar share. The idea of a repulse, far less of a disastrous defeat, probably never entered his mind. Magruder had with him but 1,160 men all told — infantry, artillery, and cavalry. How could such a force stand before six regiments of Yankee blue coats — New York firemen and reg-legged Zouaves?
