SlrRPRISE~AND CAPTURE OF CONFEDER
ATES.
. A p>: ty o' uicee-u or twenty s.outs, wno have been
atafioued tor some tnoniu* poet at Cberry Grove, Nan
ssmo-d county, are reported to have been captured on
Toes jay night by a party ot Yankee sailor* Iroaa the Via
tteaofu sad Cwwodort Damty. Lieut. Roy was in com
mand of lh**coata,aud with seven of the men was absent
at the time, and thus c-capjd capture. It ia raid that
there was not a sentinel out, aod the whole party were
snrpraed- T:e Yankee Mar.nee were piloted by a Ba
um re Ptug, namod Bill Cror, who uotil recently had
teen engaged iu running the blotkadr.
TTyell timed order.
ti u. Watting, comtaaaditg the Department of Wil
uuEgtoi, has L-cued a cotioi to producers that unleM
provisions are brought into that market at customary
Goars, and a fair chance given to buyers residing in
aha city, the a ock will b> impraaaed for the arc of the
army and navy at government pricer.
Toose who axe willing to car.-y on their business as
heretofore, without violating the order forbidding the
supply to steamers tunning the blockade, will not bs
interfered with by impressing orders, and no rates will
be p;e<c:ibeJ. The la ter will, co doubt, be icgulated
by the state of tie tupply and the currency.
TRAFFIC WITH YANKEES
W* learn that Gen. Hoke is making himself a terror
to partita about Kiustoo, North Carolina, who have
G«en ulictly and etc refly supplying the Yankee', at

THB CITY.
Corroa, Yaees, Oaede, Ju., ro* .the State.—The
foliowing circular, addreeead by tbe Commercial Agent
of tha State to the Hasting* Court of this oily, will be
f0acd of interest. Tbe earns has bson addressed to the
other e.aaty and corporation court* not in tha lines of

“ To tk* Hutting* Court of Jiitkmond City:

Initiatory rtepi are beiog now taken to obtain ade

Places or Pcsue AucsEiriBr.—Tbe conscript officer
baa keen after the players at our two plnoea of pub*
lit iniiMMDt-(M Theatre and Meteop^ntm il«•* —
• l rhvp s'.kk. Oa F.iiajr, Mr. Ogden, of the
Tkeatro, end Mr Thorpe, late an eetor at the samo
p.pul r pl-.ej of resort, ware arrested by him end
t ken to damp Lee. Oa Sitardsy, several members of
tbe Iron Clad Op>r»Troupe of Mstropoliun Ha'.l, were
tervjd in the same manner. But all of them returned
to the elty after a very abort ret n'ion, whether on
furlough, or beviog been discharged, we have not
learned. It wai said on tbe street last evenirg that tbe
President had specially exempted some of the ectora
ef the Theatre, that that uoq isstiouably useful cslab
I sboieut might be kept ap. There is no doubt but that
both tbe places of amusement mentioned exert a bene
ficial influence, Inasmuch ai they affurd an innocent
recreation to tbe tens of thousands of soldiers who
yerwly pan through this city, and who otherwise would
be forced te asek amutemsit in the drinking houses,
and even worse places.
Tns Gaea Gams —Oa Saturday night, as a hack man
was setting on his vehicle waiting for a genthman near
the corner of Broad street and Jail Alley, two men
passed by and asked him the time of night. He took
oat bis watch to give them the desired information,
when one of them grabbed it out of his hand and ran
oflf up Broad street, leaving behind a put of abrafs
oha'n by whioh it was attached. Mr. Johv A. Fortcr,
who had witneaeed the robbery from a short distauaw,
followed the thieves and succeeded in having them
arrested in a tobacco shop just above the theatre,
wheu the watoh was found in the pocket of one of them,
a man giving his name as George Moore, and hailing
from St. Louis. The other thief gave bis name as
John Kelly. Toe case was brought before the Mayor
yesterday, and the faote having been beard, tbe parties
were committed to jail for trial before the Huntings
Court.
Rkmaskablk.—No one doubts that we live under tbe
best, the most tmpiitial, the mo t incorruptible Govern
ment In the world, were U otherwise there would be to
matter of iurprise In the (set that we are going to men
tion. As it is it strikes us aa one of the most remark
able accidents in the world that not a rich man In th e
o ty bat been pnt into tbe army. We say put advisedly.
K eh mea of Richmond, young and middle aged have
entered the militvy service vo’untarily, of whom some
have died gloriously and ethers still remain to fight
their country’s battlss; bat none of those opulent citl
sent whose patriotism induced them 10 purchase sub
• Mutes, have since the repeal of the substitute law, been
Dut in. Tbev have all been found absolute 1 v indieoersable
lu-eitoations known to tbo army as “soft places.” It
i« .very remarkable.
ArroiMTiDb—Oar readers will be pleaeed to know
that Mr. Thomaa W. Doe well, a wall known citix n of
llfs State, has been appointed Assistant Provost Mar.
ehal of Richmond—a position made vacant by tbe St nd
1 >g South of Oapi. G. W. Alexander, cf Baltimore.
W.h M.j it Carrington as Chief and Mr. Doewe.l ta
Aas'ataat Provost, the office is in good hands. We a o
glad that, aftsr three years of oecnpation by strangtrs,
oar own cit s ras art to be admitted to some share in
the military government of the oity.
We bear of further changes in this Department which
it wonld be premature to mention as yet.
Sis* os roa BcaoLtar.—WIIsod, slave of Mrs. Ou
ter, and Philip, slave of Mrs. Obamberlayne, were yes
terday examined before Just cea Lee end Kettles, at
Henrico County Court II ruse, on tbe charge of bretk
ing into the store-house of Mr. James Lyons, at lis
far m, west of the city, and stealing several thousaid
dollars worth of sugar. It being proved to it on the
night of the robbery the regues were seen coming
out of Mr. Lyans’ front gate with tacks of some kind
of plunder on their should-rs, they were eent on to be
tried by the County Court.
Tiii Balloed Hocei.—Messrs. J. 0. Taliaferro & Co.,
proprietors of this well known aud well krpt Hct l, in
acoorda-.oe with what they believe will bs conducive
ta tht eemlort and convenience of thoir gues s, baie
determined to oonduot their extensive es ablishmei t
on what io known aa tbe European style—each guest
*> pay for only what he orders and gels. The patio:*
of this house may always calculate upoa cujoylog the
very brat of oreiything that our markets afford, and
every comfort and oonvonieuoa la the matter of rooms
and servants attendance.

DsoieiTATios —As the up train on the York River
railroad was parsing in tbe neighborhood of the City
Ota Works, on Sunday evening, s soldirr, believed to
be a patient from CJbimWax) hospital, ran ahead of it
and patting his left hand on the track sliowed the
Whsek of the engine to pass over it. AU four fingers
of tho band wero eat off. His conduct can only bo nc*
oouuted for by the presumption that he was Ubating
under an exoeisive desire to leave the army,
faiausrs.—Though as yet James River has been
vary Utile affected by tbe la t »a:aa aud snow storm, tbe
Mattapeny and Pamnnkey have b-'ea very much ssolkn,
and now inundate their s.veral valleys. The fisheries
along tbg honks of those stream« hav* been very much
interfered with by the highwater and ip consequence
very lew flih are coming to this market.

Mirrma at (U African Ohueob. -Attraoted, by

mond in the African Church last night, shout seventy
five perrons, mostly etndidatea for offlcea of Jnstioee
of the peace, assembled in that building at the boor
mentioned.
A Ur some little delay, Mr. Lipscomb addressed the
meeting. As hie speech, though it diverted bis aud.cnce
immeasurably, cculd not be done Justice to in the brief
sketch to wh!eh our ipace would limit ue, we shall at
tempt no report of it.
Wiitn we left the building, which was aoOn after the
speech of the orator of the evening, eeveral of the can
didates for Aldermanio honors were being loudly, but
unsuccessfully called for.
Elution.—To morrow la election day. Thete are

in the aaid Market, was oalled up yesterday morning
and then postponed till a future day.
