and after investigation, decided that the boy
should undergo a legal examination—and so ad

His rlatornenti* as follows :
“On tho 27th of May, he wont to a Jfttfoa in

Saturday for examination of tho boy. On Sat

Asked if there was any proeteutor? He replied
“no ?“ The Judge replied “yon have done your
duty.”
After leaving, lx- met another Juti-e, whd slx*k
©d him tho name questions to which he gave, ami
received tho same answer.”
Oar first mooting was in socrot, fur tbo reason
it was said, a white man was implicated by tbo
negro, and a clue might be hitd to a more com
plete discovery, than by it too baity disclosure;
as also, it mlgnt tend to damage inch white man
if innocent. Hut aflr examination, wo found
nothing, which if before known, would inn* in

We are law and order anon, as far as public
safety will permit; hence, we deem it proper, be

.MXKO STEALING.
Jacob D. McGuire, Attorney ut Law, ol this
city, was brought back from New Orleans, by
last night's train, chained to a negro of Joshua
Davis, of Monroe county, on tho charge of steal
ing said negro and endeavoring to roll him ip
tho Crescent City. Wo understand the evidence
will be conclusive against McGuire, who Las u
hearing to day before Enquire Granuis.
While on tho way to New Orleans be managed
to swindle a widow Udy of this eity ot on
the pretext of getting hor money changed for
some that would pans in Miasissippi, whither she
was going on a visit to borne relatives. After he
got the money he evaded the owner, but she kept
up with him as fur as New Orleans—McGuire
promising to nay her out of tho proceeds ot the
sule of the Negro of Mr. Davis, which he had
with him. Sunpiciondiaving been excited an in
vestigation was had in Now Orleans, which re
sulted in the ui rc.it and impmonmout of McGuire
and the negro. The lady had fa borrow money
to gel borne, without rnukiu Ler contemplated
visit. On her return she gave information to Mr.
Davis of tho foots about his negro, and Mr. D.
immediately scut his overseer to New Orleans to
identify /him and bring him home. He a!?o
brought McGuire.
Binco. the foregoing, we learn that McGuire
has waived examination and is hound over to
answer ut Court, in n l end of $2,000, and to
stand committed till said bond ir: executed. This
is on tho nogro stealing charge. That of lnr<-

I une back from Phillippa this evening. Com
munication is beginning lo be threatened bet ween
Grafton and FLiliippa.
Mounted parties, sent out Monday X Tuesday
nights to engage the enemy’s pickets, were fired
upon Tuesday night by uu ambuscade of the
enemy, which instantly retreated. Last night a
large party drove in the pickets, and then sent
forward Kx-Bpeaker Gordon, late private in the
Vth Indiana regiment, now Major in the F. S.
Army, and ilorace Deli, hoping to draw oat the
ueaiy. I.< * i neu, sitogeboer u#oj portcd

They returned the Ore.
After a large number of shots were exchanged,
which lb# darkness kept from being effective,
they challenged the enemy to come out, and a
perfect war of words ensued ‘ihe enemy could
not be coax* and out. The party found the grave
of Martiu, of tbo fourteenth Ghi > regiment,
why was siwt tiv< day* ego while scouting,
and made arrangements to bring the boby in to
night. •
Another c-oui. of the Ifith Obi” regiment was
shot yesterday. Iho body was seen to be inside
of the rebel pickets.
Griffin, who was thought killed at the sumo
time with Mattie, has returned. He bad fallen
from his horse, but managed to escape. Hkulking
rebel ure firing on our soldiers, and especially on
tbo scouts, constantly. Only two, however, arc
kuow.i t*< have been killed as yet . Our forces are
impatient fornertaission to retaliate on the rebels’
fire from the bu*h# without ailing for a halt, or
making an attempt to recapture.

We learn from reliable authority that a detach
ment consisting of two companies of the sth Geor
gia Regiment, two’Mississippi companies and
one Louisiana rempany under the command of
M#j. Salisbury of the sth Georgia Regiment, has
been sent by Gen. Bragg to a point opposite tbo
extreme Eastern end of Santa Kosa Island.—
This detachment is.to be stationed at that point
known a* the Narrows, where the Sound is only
a quarter of a mile wide. Muj. . c ali*bury has
four pieces of artillery with him—two 2t knd two
12-pounders, and ilia intended to erect batteries.
Tho objeei of this movement is to break up and
prevent an illicit trade that ha* been going on
for some time between certain inhabitant#*®!
that region and Fort Pickens, by which tho
U. ti. troops are supplied with fresh u cat and
other provisions. At low tide beef cattle aro
driven across in scores and sold to tho enemy
on the Island. This is an infamous and despi
cable traffic, and ought not only to be broken up,
but those traitor* wbo are engaged in it ought
to be shot.
We doubt very much the policy, however, ol
Banding so small a fore© to lie stationed ut u
distant, isolated and exposed a position. It if
45 miles from Pensacola, and ’m an uninhabited
country, or •’ least there arejfmt few people in
that sterile part of the country. The enemy will
soon learn that the*# troop* havebecn sent there.
They will dbftikc to give up their fresh provis
ion*, and will naturally wih to reftoro tho sup
ply by driving off our troops, as well a* to strike
a blow at the Confederate fore* . How easy for
the officer at Fort Pickens, guided by the rascal#
who have been leading them, to send out a su
perior force of a thousand men, with artillery and
cavalry, to fall upon our troops, take them at
disadvantage, and cither destroy or capture
them. We aro satisfied that Maj. .Salhbury’#
command will, if attacked, even by a much
larger force, g ; ve them a gallant fight, and do al!
that inch a amall number, under the eircomstan
oe*, could do, hot they could lot withstand such
a force a* might and probably will i Mint against
them.
We consider it an extremely dangerous posi
tion, and we should not be surprised to bear of
a severe couteit between tboie brave boy- of :
ours and the enemy before long. W aro n-/t
prepared to condemn the movement. We pre
sume U#n. Bragg understood* tho Ifua condition
of thing*in connection with thii expedition. Wo
i. . i
that be has not exposed a a mail hut gallant and
valuable portion of our army under his command
to unnecessary danger iu a distant and isolated
pla<e. If any wiffortune should overtake this
detachment of Maj. Salisbury, on ac-ount us the
cmaliness of its numb* r or any want of efficiency
in its material, a fearful re-pon*ibUity will be to
curred by Gen. brag/, arid a Lvry load of pub
lic condemnation be vi 1 upon his head. Mnj
Salisbury’s eomm*d will be surrounded by
spies and traitors who will betray him to the
entmy if tney can, and os hi# poaitioii i d-übt
iess acccssabie so the Federal troop*, it behooves
him to b© ever watchful of surprise and attack,
and to be alwayj ready for action. - He is i* gal
lant and spirited officer aud bravo man, and we
are confident be will give % good account o l
himself if an oceaeion occurs, but still wc should
be better satisfied to hear that his position ha*
been s'reugthened by an additional force from
the large aud auparnumerary army under G.-
Bragg's irominuud-
Fairfax Station is often confounded with
Fairfax Court House. The former Is situated
on lh© orang© and Alexandria railroad, eight***
i miles from Alexandria, and the Court r
I eounty root of Fairfax county is a village about
fourteen in;;*** fo“n Alexandra, oa the w j;-
road leading to Warre*on. And the same may
be aaid of Gap and Manassas Junc
tion. The latter place is where the rebel soldiers
are encamped, and is about 27 miles from Alex
andrla. The Gup is iu tbo valley of Virginia,
running through tho Blue Uidge Mountain*, aid
about fiO mile* from the Junction.
,T3* In diiciitsing ihe plan of equipping **. i
dier# with double-barrel guns, it is proposed tha 1
all in every State be brought together. It will
then be found (but the calibres are such that they
can be classed so that entire regiment* may bo
aruuJ with gunacf the same bore,using (he same
cartri ig* The greater number of the double
barret guns iu use comprise but three <>r four dif
ferences of calibre.
A oervic sab So bayonet for a Li to the
double barrel ha* been invented, and a modal
torwnroica to tne nr in pAttuitfht.
Doubie-barrels, loaded with “b'.uy whiatb-r*

The first couipary that l came upon Sc< its.
the Captain was there, with coat • ;f drilling his
men with a will. Jones’ camp was tome dis- i
tanc# off and as I had seen him in Richmond in
the morning, I strolled on u search of Captain
Strother, and when 1 found him he * stretch
ed off on a clean bed of loose wheat straw read
ing a book, which I judged from the sire, shape
and binding, to bo G trJre s Tactic#. As .< n
as ho caught a glimpeo us me at the opening us
his tent he sprang from bit bumble reach and
gave me so warm a wolreme that T could u>:
but tbiuk hew much tho heart had to do with the
hospitalities of the mansion. Ho soon called his
officer* to see tho welcomed stranger, and wo
talked uror Columbus nnd it* surrounding# with
a# much test a# though we had baen separated
ten years instead often days. The hour for drill
cam* on and as the mon foil into line and per
formed divers movements, it was easy to see that
the Captain was fully nlivo lotbe importance ol
disoiplin and drill. Ho has a fine act of officers
and men, and ere the campaign closes tbe Cap
tain will better an already exeelieut reputation
earned in Mexieo- lie is very sanguino of uur
success, and remarked to me in hi# emphatic
manner, “We shall not ouly be able to defend
ourselves, but wo can conquer tbe North and
trade off New England for a Navy “ Captain
Jonas is, I learn, working bard and getting bis
uscu iu finocondilbn for effective servico. Capt.
Scott has hardly settled himself, but he is alrea
dy at work and will coon get bis company in
fine condition. There are several other Geor
gia companies at the camp-ground, and they are
ail in high feather with the people here, in fact, ]
they say in Richmond that the Government rest*
on the brain and musc-le of Georgia. We have
very nearly aa many regiments in the field as
Virginia ha', and Cjertninly as much talent in the
council.
Wo are ss far off from reliable new# here 63
you are in Columbus. The town la full of ru
mors, but they are hardly circulated b-fore they
are contradicted. The re-occupation of Harper’s
Ferry and tbe retreat of Cadwalladers forces be
fore Job biffin, (Cadvraiadtr declining battle)
seurns to be confirmed. A small fight or two in
tho North-wo*t, In both of.wbich, tha enemy
iDgloriously Had—in one instance, leaving a cou
ple of cannon and a stand of colors, also seems
reliable. The capture us Gen. Lyon, and his
command at Jefferson City after a bar J fight,
needs confirmation. Reinforcements am con
stantly going from and to Vorktown, >mong
other companies, Capt. Hawes’ has gone there)
and a deciasive battle in that neighborhood i#
momentarily looked for. Thoso are the “on dit”
of the day. I give them to your “currentt rn
lamo.”
Since writing tbe above, I have paid another
visit tu the camp, where I met Mark Blanford of
Buena Vista, and Willis Hawkins’of Sumter—
each in command of a fine body of men. Among
the Privates in Capt. Hawkins’.company, I met
Win. IL Kimbrough, our fellow-townsman, aged
f>j , and bo Bceins to stand tbe hardships of
camp life, as well i*any*of Ihe rest of the ftoy ‘e

unteers, the lie of sixty yeuri old- -men of good
standing and family who have for tho
war, a* they ray, to act a good extimplo to the
young men. With eireh a spirit animating our
people, it is simply ridiculous tu think of sut jtf
gating them.
