THl T HBDAY< MARCH S3i 1865.
FROM OUR EVENINO EDITION
OF YESTERDAY.
Cam* Thieves Arrested.— On Monday
night last, a valuable cow was stolen from
the outbuilding of the residence of Mrs. E. S.
Waring, corner of South Broad and Barnard
streets. A colored man, who had also lost a
cow, found, on Mflhduy night, two “gen
tlemen’'of copper color and of African de
scent, driving the cow of Mrs. Waring to
slaughter. Upon his making inquiries as to
what they were doing with the animal, he
was replied to in a manner that made it nec
essary for his lower extremities to carry the
upper out of danger, by a decided improve
ment on the double-quick, otherwise nothing
would ever have beeu known of the olfence
of stealing Mrs. Waring’s valuable milch
cow.
The colored gentleman who had to take
such expeditious care of his person, having
recognized the offenders when he approach
ed them, lodged a complaint with the Chief
of Police, who immediately had arrested
Rufus Knight and Richard Golden, individ
uals of the contraband jiersuasion, butchers
in the Savanu&h market. The cattle thieves
having been brought to the olHce of the Po
lice, were examined, and it was ascertained
that Knight and Golden are consummate
rogues and thieves of the first older; one of
the darkies confessed that the other was a
dishonest fellow, us he tried to cheat him out
of hit portion of the funds raised by the val
uable animal of Mrs. Waring.
This morning the thieves were arraigned
before Judge Parsons of the First Provost
Court. The proof of the commission of the
olfence being positive, he ordered that the
defendants pay Mrs. Waring $75 for the cow,
a hue of $25 each, thirty days each imprison
ment in the jail, and at the expiration of the
term of imprisonment, the defendants be
kept in jail until the above sums are paid.
The cattle thieves of this city can, with con
siderable certainty make up their minds as
to what will be the punishment of the next
offenders.
Communication i3 again
broken between Savannah and Hilton Head.
The line had been working finely for the past
three days. Bu t last night no circuit could
be made between Fort Pulaski and the Head.
The line being intact as far as to Fort Pulas
ki, the submarine cable is supposed to have
beeu ruptured somewhere in Calibogue
Sound. Mishaps seem to beset this all im
portant line of communication between
Headquarters and the District, with a per
aistence Aiountiug almost to fatality. No
effort has been spared on the part of those
having the line in charge, to keep it in per
fect order ; but a series of unfortunate ueci
dents, which no prudence could have fore
seen or averted, have set at nought all their
exertions. f •
The Arches ox River Shiest.— A thor
ough inspection of the arches on this street,
which runs from Bay Street to the wharves
upon the river, was made yesterday by the
Street Commissioner, Capt. Stearns. It was
discovered that, in the portion of the street
between Barnard and the Exchange, many
“nuisances” exist. It wus also found that,
in the block between Bull and Whitaker
streets, several sinks built many years ago,
had become iutoleruble through accumula
tions of filth. These spots will be immediately
cleaned and purified with lime &c.., and
probably closed up to further use at pre
sent. *
Roubert.— On Tuesday night last the
store ol Mrs. Frank, on Jefferson street, was
entered and robbed. The padlock on the
front door was picked; the lock afforded
very little security to the premises. Mrs.
Frank is a most unfortunate woman ; everv
store that she has ever occupied in this city
has received a visit from thieves. Should
Mr*. Frank permit fewer loafers about her
premises, not allowing them to become fa-
miliar with the premises knowing where all '
valuables are concealed, she would cease to
he so frequent a sufferer from burglary.
No IftwH.—We must ask the indulgence
of our readers this afternoon for our lack of
news, There is absolutely nothing new
which we have not printed. The visit of our
Congressional friends yesterday seem to have
exhausted all thas can be hoped for in the
way of news, and probably our city shall be
dull again for a mouth.
Bkcoxd Provost Coukt.— This morning the
case of Sarah Haywood ••*. C'harlotte-Hay
wood, was called case Assault atid’Bat
teiy; the defendant plead guilty, having made
a justifiable assault, and paid a fine of #8;
Plaintiff was fined $4. In the case of Ann
Nett vs. Mrs. Butftz, fin- recovery of a child,
the child was restored to the Plaintiff. v '
A large number of negro lal>orers, proba
bly between 300 and 400, now at work on
the cotton-presses city, arc about to
bssdischarged.
First Pkovost Coukt. — This morning
Judge Parsons placed on Ijjfd the hoy Thos.
£. Harvey, charged with stabbing a colored
boy. The court, after & careful investigation
fined the lad Harvey $5.
The new State Constitution of Tennessee
has been adopted by an overwhelming vote.
Newb rnom Shermans’s Abmt.—The Re
publican publishes the statement of
an officer of Gen. Kilpatrick’s Staff - ,
just arrived from Fayettville, N. C., and
: vouches for its reliability. We make ex
j tracts containing pretty much that iB of
value:
) Capt. Brink left Fayetteville on the even
ing of March 12th; coming down the Cape
! Fear river In one of our transports to Wil
mington, a‘distance of 125 miles. The eu
! tire army is in a splendid condition, and was
never in*better fighting trim, the vast extent
j of country through which they have march
i ed affording an abundance of supplies both
for man and blast, the people refusing to
I obey the orders ot the rebel leaders, to burn
up and otherwise destroy all the provisions
; which might fall into the hands ot the Yan
kees. The inhabitants of South Carolina
have, generally speaking, treated our troops
with the greatest respect, and in many cases
extended unbounded hospitality, telling our
troops they were glad to meet them although
it was the eleventh nour.
The destruction of Columbia was caused
by the fiendishuess of some of its citizens,
j who fired upon our troops, nud in return
| they applied the torch to the town. General
] Hampton had the pleasure of sotting several
dwelling houses ou fire, alleging that he had
j rather see them smouldering ruins and ashes
than permit the vandals to occupy them. A
: great deal of spirituous liquors were found,
and many of the guards becomiug intoxica
ted, it was impossible to stay the progress of
the flames, or to suppress pillage and other
] rjotfcps conduct.
Two regiments who had their muskets
stacked in a large wooden building, were
i unable to save their arms, and their entire
accoutrements were destroyed.
Kim-atuick’s Glorious Victorv. —At
dawn on the morning of the 10th, Gen. Wade
Hampton, having captured one of our cou
riers the evening previous, and learning from
him the exact position of General Kilpatrick’s
camp, made an impetuous charge with three
divisions, charging in three columns, Gen.
Hampton leading the centre column in per
son.
Gen. Kilpatrick’s force consisted of one
brigadejvliick had been out on a reconnoi
tenng expedition, and comprised the Ist Ala
bama, Col. Spencer, sth Ohio and sth Ken
tucky. The little brigade was exhausted
with its arduous operations of the two pre
ceding days, and as Hampton had learned
from the captured courier the precise loca
tion of the camp, he had but little difficulty
in takiug the command by surprise, dashing
directly over our pickets before they could
possibly give the alarm.
For a short time everything was ’very na
turally in a confused state of affairs, but
fortunately the ever vigilant Kilpatrick had
arisen a few moments prior to the charge,
and, although caught in dishabille, he jump
ed r.pou horseback and in an instant had
Iriff gallant men rallying to the rescue of the
Brigade. The rebel Cavalry had completely
surrouuded the house occupied as Gen. Kil
patrick's Headquarters and in which was
Colonel Spencer, aud a portion of General
Kilpatrick’s staff, who were unable to make
their escape. A gallant Union womau, in
whose house General Kilpatrick had his
headquarters, stood at the door, and as the
ruffians rode up, enquiringdf there were qny
Yaukees, she replied there was none in the
house save two wounded Yankee privates,
and thus succeeded in saving the entire
party who were concealed in her house.
The lady hearing the demoniac yells of the
rebels as they dashed towards her house,
seized Gen. Kilpatrick’s famous Battle Flag,
which had been borne through so many bat
tles, and hid .it beneath some bedding, with
Gen Kilpatrick’s coat, which, in his haste, he
had not time to put on.
An indiscriminate hand to hand fight last
ed lor an hour, during which time the bullets
whistled through the uoble heroine's dwel
ling, completely perforating it on all sides.
Gen. Kilpatrick soon hau his men so well
in hand, that, recovering from their surprise,
they louglit most desperately, each moment
gaining on the rebels, who, after a stubborn
resistance, found it impossible* to withstand
the resistless onslaught of our cavalrymen,
aimed with the Spencer rilics aud “sixteen
shooters,’’ and they began gradually to retire
to n small belt of woods, from which they
were finally driven by the furious artillery
fire of a section of the 10th Wisconsin Bat
tery, under command of Lieuteuant Stedton,
who kept up such a savage discharge of
shell and grape that made it more than un
healthy for the rebels to remain. Driven
from this point, Hampton withdrew his
forces to a hill where he made an attempt to
rally his men, but a feeble front, was all he
could show, and in a few moments a charge
was made by Gen. Kilpatrick, which created
a panic, and the rebels fled in disorder,
abandoning their dead and wounded, and
leaving a large lot of fine horses, together
with quite a quantity of arms and equip
ments.
General Kilpatrick continued to pursue the
retreating forces for nearly two miles, scat
tering Hampton’s demoralized ‘ command in
all directions, the rebels fleeing to the swamps
and woods after throwing away their arms.
Among the rebels killed was Gen. Aiken,
of South Carolina, who led one of Hampton’s
columns, General Hampton's Adjutant Gen
eral and several commissioned officers were
severely wounded and fell into our hands.
The citizens of Fayetteville report that Gen.
Wheeler passed through the town in an am
bulance in advance of our qntree into Fay
etteville, severely wounded.
Our loss in this brilliant little cavalry fight
which is represented ns one of the most ob
stinate of the war, was 215 in killed, wound
ed aud prisoners, a fact which pretty clearly
indicates how desperate the engagement was
when a single’brigade could lose this num
ber. The enemy’s loss was estimated by Gfcn
feherman at nearly GOO in killed, wounded
and* prisoners, as the houses for miles in the
vicinity of the light were filled with rebel
wounded.
In addition to over one hundred prisoners
captured, the enemy donated us two hun
dred aud fifty excellent horses, with full
cavalry equipments.
Pkrsitent Pkayek.— There exists in Par
is, in the Rue de Renilly (by an odd coinci
dence close to the Protestaut Diaconusses es
tablishment,) the Convent de Picnug, where
since the execution of Louis XIV, and Marie
Antoinette prayer has been offered day aud
night lor the release of their souls from pur
gotaiy. Iwo nuns, who for that especial
purpose assumes robes of blood-red • color,
pray during one half hour to this intent, be
ing then relieved l>y two others ; and no ou

Fashionable Lire ix Wabiiingtox. —From
the Washington correspondence of the Balti
more Clipper, we take the followiug gossip
about things which perhaps have as much
interest for some of bur readers as politics:
Washington, Feb. 2.
There are, after all, very tew places where
a thoughtful man will find more matter for
speculation and reflection, or a gay man
more sources of profitable pleasure, or a
quiet lover of ease and sociability more simple
and contented enjoyment, than in this same
much misunderstood and most silly misrep
resented metropolis.
“With all its sinful doings, I mnst say
That Washington's a pleasant place to me
is the mental ejaculation of many a stem or
peu.sive moralizer as he turns his back on the
Capital.
The last fortnight has been crowded with
interest—social and political; and they must
have been frigid!) - indifferent, indeed, to what
has been going ou before their eyes who did
not feel conscious of an unusually vivid exist
ence.
The drawing rooms of Mrs. Lincoln on Sat
urdays, the receptions at several distinguish
ed inmses that follow regularly afterwards,
and the dinners and soirees among the mem
bers of the Corps Zfiplomutique , and the in
numerable suug family parties, and pdits
soupers of tile wits about town, ma!«e the
close of the week a “white day’’ in metro
politan life.
Foremost, naturally, from her position, is
the drawing room of the lady of the Execu
tive Mansion. It is always more largely at -
tended than it has been for many years.—
Costume may, of course, be assumed by any
body ; aud is carried to extremes, frequently,
by the merest nobodies. But it is remarked
by the oldest and most "distinguished habitues
(critical as they are upon dress, look and
demeanor,) that never, within their recollec
tion, have there been, at any matinee. , as large
assemblages of the elite of the nation, or
where the most of the company were so uu
exceptionably attired.
Mrs. Jincoln is entitled to the credit of
having brought about a great reform in re
gard to the proprieties of dress, and manner,
and general behavior among the masses who
avail themselves of the unquestionable privi
lege to visit their President and his lady.—
The change has been wrought very quietly
and unobtrusively.
The distinguished Senators from the Em
pire State, Messrs. Morgan aud Harris, have
sumptuous houses in Washington, and enter
tain with a flowing hospitality. The resi
dence of the former is the well-known large
modern house ou the corner of 1 and Fif
teenth streets. It was from the front of this
buildiug that Yancey made his last election
eering harangue for Breckinridge in the fall
of ’GO, while Cobb, Thompson, aud the rest
of his chiefs sat around as his supporters.—
Its handsome walls and stately rooms echo
to far other utterances now! Senator Harris
purchased the well-known Graham house,
on the corner of H and Fifteenth streets,
opposite St. Matthews Church, which ior
two or three years bad been occupied by the
family of General Buell. He has greatly en
larged aud improved it, furnished it with el
egance and taste, and made ,it one of the
most comfortable homes in tlie metropolis.
The dining room is a model in its way; anii
the book-room adjoining the parlors, with its
bow window and exquisite fittings, is as in
viting an apartment as any literary louDgcr
coula desire.
The morning receptions of the ladies of the
Cabinet on Wednesday, and of the ladies of
Senators on Thursday, are attended bv the
youth, beauty, aud fashion of the country,
now so well represented here. Thursday
night there is a hop and supper at the Na
tional, marked by the good taste and liberal
ity for which that house is famous. The
dance is to be kept up to a late hour. Fri
day night is appropriated to the receptions
of Mr. Speaker Colfax, which always draws
a large concourse. His mother, Mrs.
Matthews, and sister, Miss Matthews, did
the honors with groat cordiality and anima
tion. Among the company ‘were Admiral
Farragut, Gen. Banks, and quite a number
of officers of the army - and navy. A 4 ‘bright
particular star’ beamed on ‘the assemblage
in the course of the evening, aud many in
quired, “Who Is that just entering with Sen
ator Sherman ?" I turned aod saw a young
lady leaning on his arm, who, to a poet,
might seem- a fairy vision—so bright, so
graceful, and charmingly attired, ft was
the niece of the Senator aud of the illustrious
Gen. Sherman. I question whether that fa
mous uncle would have attracted more at
tention.
Although, at the Saturday drawing-rooms,
the President is not aece«arily expected to be
present, or officially receiving, yet Mr. Lin
coln ia so considerate aud kind as to leave
his office for a portion of the time, and ap
pear at hi# usual position in the Blue Parlor
thus affording the opportunity of presenta
tion to those who may not be able to avail
themselves of any other occasions. Besides
these public receptions, there are every day
among citizens and sojourners, numbers of
dinner parties, got up in Gautier s most per
fect style; and, at the several hospitable
houses, soirees at wliieh the company are
expected only by card.
Idle Blockade-Runners at Nassau—A
