L~OCAL MATTERS. *
CONFRDEBATI STATES DISTRICT COURT. *
In Judge Hslyburton's Court, yester r
day, Simon Connor "and James M. Tr&
vilian were discharged from the Con r
federate service under a writ of habea* j
corpus, they being farmers in possession
of the number of slaves requisite to en* '
title them to exemption. J
Confederate States rs. the Southern
Express Company, involving the scqucs- '
tration of certain property belonging; to l
Joseph P. Jones, an ahen cnomy. The J
court directed the receiver to execute a
deed of said property to Henry C. Jones, l
next of kin. *■
The habeas corpus case of Thomas W- 8
Finley was continued. c
The court thereupon ailjourned till Sa- |
turday.
• Hustings Coukt. —Judge Lyons held '
a short session yesterday, but disposed
of no cases. {
Malissa J. Palmatcur, indicted for
grand larceny, had her case continued
till the next term, in order to enable her i
to secure the attendance of witnesses
material to her defence
The case of Henry Smith, indicted for ,
breaking into the factory of Turpin ft ,
Yarbrough, was continued until Satur
day, at the instance of the Common- J
wealth. j
The court thereupon adjourned till j
this mornings .
Mayor's Court.—The attention of the
Mayor was chiefly occupied yesterday .
with a couple of gambling cases, wherein \
two establishments were summarily en- ? 1
tcred by the police, their effects seized <
and the occupants arrested. <
In the first, officer Kelly testified that, I
having first obtained a warrant to do so, ]
ho proceeded to the building on Four-. I
teenth street, opposite the Exchange I
Hotel, said to be a faro bank. Ascending \
cautiously up the first flight of steps, he \
arrived at the top just as the negro door- <
keeper was in the act of letting some
one out. He rushed in, followed by offi
cer Crone, but had some difficulty iff
gaining the second-story room in conse- \
quencc of the negro throwing*4umself bo
tween him. After getting insSle, he found <
in the centre of it a large table, asound ,
which were seated some men, while
others were in different parts—altogether
numbering about thirteen. Found in ,
this room a paper box containing $1,040
in Confederate money; in the drawer to- r
the table, $400 in Virginia Treasury t
notes, while on the table were $1,000 a
more, which were grabbed up by one a
of the three gentlemen who were sitting:
around the table engaged in playing
cards; could not say they were p
playing faro. The man who took t
it claimed it as his own private
funds. Went up to the third story, ?
where I found a faro table, some " chips "
and cards scattered about the floor, and
some others in a bed, upon Which was a
man sleeping. Under the bed, found a n
mahogany <yise, said to be used for keep
ing cards and dealing-boxes in; while in '
the water-tank the dealing-box was c
found. Descending from the third story a
to the second, I found officer Crone still •
disputing about the one thousand dol- -
lars which, the gentleman claimed as
his property. Told him he must sur
render the funds, which he finally con-
Rented to do upon my giving him a re- , i
ceipt for it Going into the yard, I found t
two "lay-outs," which I also took pos- r
session of. [ The.articles were exhibited
. in court j f
Officer Crone made a statement vary- t
ing but little from that of Mr. Kelly's. t
The gentleman from whom the one «
thousand dollars were taken by Officers c
Kelly and Crone denied that any faro '
game was going on in the room in which l
he was found; nor did he think there
was any being played about the build- \
ing. He was simply playing "poker" \
when the police entered, and the thou- \
sand dollars which he took up from the ,
table were his own funds, which he had -
just taken out of his pockets to play j
with* i
Tne Mayor, upon hearing the evidence, c
sent the parties on for examination, ad- I
mitting the accused to bail for their ap- l
nearanee.
In the second case, in which the bank ■
raided upon by the police was situated f
on Main street, opposite the Spots wood '
Hotel, after a short examination, the ■
facts of which are similar to the first, the
Mayor announced its continuance, and l
also admitted the parties to bail. '
Gabriel, slave of William Greanor, t
charged with stealing a ladies' dress, .
sack and coat, valued at $1,500, the pro <
perty of J. H. Schumann, was again up c
tor a hearing, but was further postponed i
in order to enable the accused to obtain
a witness who, he thought, would prove
his innocence.
Several negroes were ordered to be c
snipped for beine out after dark without f
P**s« snd committing thefts.

houses to investigate the matter. # A
short while afterwards, some earthy
came riding by and discovered the body
lying on the ground, a lifeless corpse,
when Coroner Little was sent for, and,
upon examination, found thst the ball
had entered the right side of his nose,
passing out at the back part of his head.
Tho body was removed to tho residence
of his parents, near the eastern suburbs
of the city, from whence it will bo buried
this morning. A jury .of inquest was
summoned yesterday morning, but, for
reasons deemed satisfactory -to the Co
roner, was adjourned over till to>day.
(iAukoted.—A tan early hour on Wed
nesday night, a young man, named
Horatia Young, a returned prisoner,
while proceeding to Camp Leo, was in
veigled into an old lot on Broad street
by a youth whom he had inquired the
way of, whero ho was seized by four
men, who were in waiting, thrown to
the ground, and robbed of his pocket
book, containing one hundred and fifty
dollars in money, his furlough and other
papers, lie was also divested of lfls shoes
and hat, the latter being replaced by an
old greasy cap, which the thieves had
provided themselves with. The unfor
tunate victim walked into the chief of
police office soon after the occurrence, in
his stocking feet, whero ho gave an ac
count of his adventures and requested
assistance to enable bin to arrive safely
at his destination.
Committed to Castle Thunder.—The
following parties were committed to
Castle Thunder yesterday :
F. Gtnini, conscript; F. Jackson,
Twenty fourth Virginia cavalry, and R
F. Hitchcock, member of Gilmour's ca
valry, charged with being professional
garroters. L'pon their persons were
found slung-shots, lock picks and va
rious other implements usually in the
possession of desperadoes.
Samuel W. Bradly, of Henrico county,
charged with aiding persons to escape to
the Yankees, and James Gillinwater and
William Ferris, of company 0, Fourth
Virginia battalion, and Charles Pey
cheux, charged with attempting to es
cape to the Yankees. i£ the case o(
Bradly, it is alleged that he agreed to
put the three latter across the lines lor a
stipulated sum, having first received one
thousand dollars as a stake. The parties
were overhauled by Confederate scouts
when within a couple of miles of the
enemy's picket lines.
Arrested for Murder.—George Wl
Deas, white, was arrested yesterday af
ternoon, and committed to the lower
cage, on tho charge of killing James
Clarke, who was shot in Rocketts on
Wednesday night.
City Council.—A special meeting of
the Council was held yesterday after
noon for the purpose of considering the
tax bill. The subject was discussed till
a late hour, when an adjournment was
agreed to in order to perfect the bill.
Correction.—ln our Hustings Court
proceedings, yesterday, the case of Ca
therine Collins was inadvertently re
ported as having been convicted of steal
ing. It should have been receiving
stolen goods.
Honorably Acquitted.—The case of
Thomas Stratton was called up before the
Hustings Court last week, but tho ac
cused was discharged without any ex
amination of witnesses.
PROCLAMATION BY TIIE PRESI
DENT, APPOINTING A DAY OP FAST
ING, HUMILIATION AND PRAYER, "WITH
THANKSGIVING.—The of the Confede
rate States Lave, by a joint resolution, invited m c '
to appoint a day of public fasting, humiliation and
prayer, villi to Almighty God.
It it our .Kolemu duty, at all times, and more es
pecially in a heason of public ttial and adversity,
to acknowledge our dependence on His mercy, and
to bow in humble submission before His footstool
confessing our manifold _Ss, pupplieaticg __i gra
cious pardon, imploring His Divine help, and de
voutly rendering thanks for the many and great
blessings wliich He has vouchsafed to us.
Let the hearts of o*ur people turn contritely and
trustfully unto God *, let us recognize in His cha
stening hand the correction of a Father, and sub
missivcly pray that the trials and suffering* which
have so long borne heavily upon us may be turned
away by His merciful love; that His sustaining
gruoc by given to our people, and His divine wisdom
imparted to our rulers; that the Lord of Hosts will
be with our armies, and fight lor us against our
enemies; and that He will gra.iously take our cau>e
into His own hand and nieaciiully establish for us a
lasting, just and honorable peace and independence-
And let us not forget to render unto His holy
name the thanks and praise which are so justly due
for His great gcodnc:..-., and for the many mercies
which He has extended to us amid the trials and
sufferings of protracted and bloody war.
Now, therefore, I, JEFFERSON DAVIS, Presi
dent of the Confederate States of America, do issue
this my proclamation, appointing FRIDAY, the
10th day of March next, as a day of public fasting, !
humiliation and prayer, (with thanksgiving,) for
