Hannibal Forbes. K?|.. ? appeared for the defence and Jlajoi (loo i for the Cjmminwealtti Til- .iu-.-<-d .is sanit is s?idto have t ikcu place in Sep tember of last year.. Airs. Stout testified in substance that Mrs. Nixon was in the habit of iuhumanly beating her boy. Mrs. Stout had seen Mrs. Nixou beating the boy time aud again. On one occasion she cut at the boy with a large earring .knife in flicting a wouod from which the blood flowed profusely. On another occasion she dragged the boy from the back yard into the house beating and cuffing him in a merciless manner. After getting him into the bouse she continued to beat him for a half an hour. The cries of the child and the blows that were being inflicted were distinctly heard by Mrs Stout and her fam ily. Mrs. Stout went into Mrs. Nixon's house to remonstrate, when she found the boy lying upon the bed apparently insensi ble and quiveriug from head to loot. Mrs. Nixon said sbe intended to kill the boy for he was a d?d thief. Mrs. Stout in terfered and Mrs. Nixou desisted. In consequence of this interference Mrs. Nixon beoame violently incensed against Mrs. Stout, and was in the habit of throw ing bricks and hot water at Mrs. Stout's family from her back yard, which she could easily do as the two families lived upon adjoining lots which are only divided by a fence. On one ocoasion Mrs. Nixou threw whole bricks into Mrs. Stout's kitchen, breaking the windows and slash ing things around generally. At last for bearance ceased to be a virtue with Mrs. Stout. One of her neighbors advised her to have Mis. Nixon bound over to keep the peace, and as Mrs. Stout was proceeding to do so sbe was followed by Mrs. Nixon who fell upon her with two slicks and beat her over the head and shoulders till she was black and blue. From tbe effects of this violent assault Mrs. Stout was taken ill and so remained for three or fonr months. Mr. M. W. Amick aud others who wit nessed the assault on Mrs. Stout, disagreed with bor as to the number of blows given and the injury inflicted. Mr. Amick inter fered to prevent Mrs. Nixon from beating Mrs. Stout, but Mrs. Nixon gave tbe blows in spite of him, saying that Mrs. Stout bad called her all manner of hard names and had provoked her beyond endurance, ilr. Amick didn't want to have mncb to do with tbe fuss. lie knew what it was to interfere with the women. A great many witnesses were examined. Some bad lived near Mrs. Nixon and had never seen her abuse her boy, George more than other poople abuse tbeir Chil dren. Others bad known her to abuse the boj very bad. The boy himself said bis mother had never abused him any more than he de served. She had whipped him sometimes bat never inhumanly. I? an8W(,r a question by the Prosecuting Attorney, George said that be had not been posted as to what he should say in Court. The evidence was very contradictory and it was apparent at several stages of the pro where2" ' """ 0Ul" 'oa"> The arguments of counsel were submit ted and the ,ury retired, but not being able o agree after an hour and a half's delib eration, were adjourned over till 9 o'clock this morning. SQSrSTKAMDOAT ISTBRKST CONPIBCATKO. ?In the United States Court, at Pitts burgh, on Monday morning, Judge McCand *C8S .delivered an opinion in the case of of the steamer Isaac Haramatt, seised there about eight months ago, under the confiscation law. The boat was owned by a Mississippi Coal Company, three-six teenths being held by Victor Wilson, a re sident of Mississippi, and the remaining nterest by Dnnshee and others. The loyal owners, Messrs. Dunshee and others,claimed that Mr. Wilson was indebted to the firm in an amount exceediog the value of his in terest; and they also offered testimony to show that he was not a rebel, but a loyal man. The Court decided thai it could take no cognisance of the partnership relations in this case, but under the law the property was subject to confiscation. There was fortunately a saving clause in the act, un der which the Secretary of the Treasury I had power to relieve Mr. Wilson whose loy alty the Court had no hesitation in ad mitting. OtiT Wild Gnat.?Several flocks of wild geese have recently passed over the city in! a Southerly direction an evidence that the cold weather has begun in their summer quarters of the Northern lakes. All of the flocks which we have seen were flying in the shape of a letter A, and moved with the precision and regularity of a regiment of well drilled soldiers. Occasionally one would lag behind the rest and destroy the form of the A but he soon "dressed up" again and "covered his file leader." W&- M*. Jobs McAdams, father-in-law of the late Col. Webster, who was killed at Perryville, Ky., died at bis residence in Warren ton, near Steuben ville, on Monday morning. His funeral took place yesterday at two o'clock. S^-Frou ram 12th Va. R*giment.?The following is an extract from a letter writ ten by a member of the 12th Virginia In faulty, dated Bulltown, Oct. 17tb ; "Another accident happened yesterday in companr G. A teamster by the name of Peter Lynch, was going out the Beverly road for straw. His horses got scared at some cattle in the bushes and ran off, the wagon passiog oyer him broke bis left arm close to the shoulder. He is now in the hospital and Is recovering slowly. To day a man belonging to company G acci dently chopped three of his fingers off with au ax. Orders have just been received for ! us to be ready to strike our tents to-mor- j row morning at three o'clock." EST" Railboad Accident.?An accident occurred on Friday on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, n short distance beyond the Relay Honse, which resulted in the partial destruction of a locomotive, and serious damage to a number of cars. A train going out was moving out off a switch, when the train from Harper's Ferry came down and collided with it. One of the locomotives was so badly damaged that it could not be used. So far as could be ascertained no personal injnry was sustained. Col. Thobubn at Home.?Colonel | Joseph Thoburn, of the First Virginia In fantry, who has been lying very ill near Washington for several weeks, arrived in the city on Monday. He is still very wenk, but is recoveriog slowly. He hopes before a very long time to again assume command of the bravo boys of the First. JgyTnx Wkathkr.?Throughout the whole of yesterday there was a humidity in the atmosphere which indicated the near upproach of rain. In the afternoon the clouds gathered and a brisk rain com menced falling. The Rivkr.?There were fourteen inches of water in the channel of the river yesterday at this point. A flat boat which arrived from Steubenville, drawing only eleven inches of water, stuck two or three times between this and that point. OSF'Major B. H.

Pennsylvania Election Returns Philadelphia, Oct. 21.?The Bulletin foots up the returns of the State election as follows: A few more official returns of the late election have reached us, and they Include! now most of the heavy voting counties. We sum up the vote for Auditor General in these counties, and compare it with the vote (or Governor two years ago, as fol lows: Seventeen counties, official, for Governor, 1860:? For Gnrtio, (Union) 129,976 For Foster, (Dem ) 122,272 Ourtin's majority 76,815 For Auditor General, 1862, as follows: For Stenker, (Dem.) 110,261 For Cochran, (Union) 108,399 Stenker's majority 1,862 Democratic gain 9,547. The remaining counties voted in Octo ber, 1860, as follows : For Gurtiu, (Union) 132,392 For Foster, (Dem.) ^ 107,985 Curtin's majority 24,407 The seventeen counties already heard ftom officially, comprise more than half the voting population of the State. If the Dem ocrats gain in the remaing counties at the 6ame rate as they have in these seventeen, they will loose the State by some 15,000. We apprehend, however, that the majority against them will be not more than 8,000 or 10,000, as the unofficial returns fo>m many counties point to such a result. Gen- Scott's Letters Wasuington, October 21.?Early in 1861 when the civil war was pending, but had not actually broken out, Gen. Scott wrote two papers containing his views, profes sional and political, on the crisis and the rights and duties which devolved on the movements of the Government at this mo mentous juncture. One of them has re ently been published without the writers OOnsent. The second uppeara to-day hav ing been furnished to the press by himself. It establishes in the first place the patri otic anxiety of the Gen. in Chief to prepare for the coming storm, and bis earnest and repeated eflorts to prevail on the Govern ment to garrison the Southern forts against every possible attack, and discloses in the sccond place the oauses of his failure which it is now evident resulted froin the decis ion of President Buchauao, misled doubt less by treachery in the Secretary of War if not in other members of the Cabinet, in whom the head of the Government repos ed a misplaced and abused confidence. Affairs on the Potomac. Bolivar Hkiohts, Monday, Oct. 20.? Since our two reconnoi9ances returned the Potomac continues to be the dividing line between the hostile armies west of Harper's Ferry, fche rebels who followed General Humphries back to the river again picket down to the Potomac. Provost Marshal Capt. J. H. Pell, 1st Minn., who went out with Hancock's re connoisance to Charlestown and called on some acquaintances residing there, it is supposed was not aware of Hancock's de parture till the rebels returned and took him prisoner. No intelligence has since been received in reference to him Lieut. O. Howe, of Gen. Sedgewick's staff, succeeds Capt. Pell as Provost Marshal of Harper's Ferry and Bolivar Heights, and is now acting with immense vigor in the way of squelching stocks of several sutlers, who have been made to pay for selling li quor and buying stolen commissary and quartermaster's stores from dishonest em ployees. Gen. McClellan's order punishing those who absent themselves from their regiments without parses is in operation. Several hundred men and some officers are con stantly employed with spades for such of fense. From Centreville. Washington, Oct. 21.?From the Times' special correspondent at Centreville we learn that Gapt. Cougdon of the 2d Vir ginia cavalry left that place on Saturday noon with 60 men, spending the night at Bristow Station and reaching a point near Cattlett ou Sunday noon, wishing to cap ture a train the rebels were running on the Orange and Alexandria Railroad. The party waited till 4 o'clock concealed, at which, time a small detachmant was ad I vanced to the station, driving in the rebel picket-guard. It was soon discovered that the enemy was guarding the train of cars which was near the station. Capt. Cong don fell back to a piece of woods to receive the expected attack of the enemy, but the latter after advancing a short distance re tired and our party returned to Centreville, arriving this morning. The whole coun try between Centreville and the Rapaban nock is swarming with rebel cavelry and scouts who constantly note and report the slightest movements on foot of onr forces. From Washington Washington, Oct, 20.?Preaaure for for ward movements being almost general is urged with au earnestness that has never been equalled. Argument used that a pro traction of present inactivity will ruin the country. The division commanded by 'Gen. Sick les will be reviewed on Wednesday next by Gens. Banks and Heintzleman. It is ex pected that the President and Secretary of kVar will witness the review. It is nnderstood that a communication from Gen. Scott is about to appear which will show that that veteran soldier early pressed upon tho administration of Buch anan the necessity of garrisoning Southern forts and doing other things to repress the rebellion that was threatened. A treach erous Cabinet and Senate had more con trol over Mr. Buchanan than counsel of the patriot had. Massachusetts Nominations for Got eraor Boston, Oct. 21.?John A. Andrew has written a letter accepting the nomination of the Republicans for re-election as Gov ernor. It is stated that Brig. Gen. Devens will accept of the people's Union nomina tion for Governor. The schooner Admiral Blake, reported as among the vessels burned by the pirate Semme8, has arrived safe at Seppican. She did not see anything of the pirate. Bebel Cavalry Captured H*ad Quabtibs Askt orrai Potomac, Oct. 21.?An expedition started from Gen. Slocum's command this morning for the purpose of intercepting a force of rebel cav alry, under Capt. Dug, who were foraging near Lovettsvilie, Loudon county, Va. It was in every respects successful, bnt the details are not known. Thirty-two prison ers were taken, among whom was the Cap tain. Ten of the enemy were killed. Onr loss was one killed and four wounded.? Dug's was an independent company raised in Loudon coonty. Mrs. Gen. McClellan and Mr*. Geo. lfaT' cy, having finished their visit to the artnj of the Potomac, left for Washington to-day, Executive Order in regard to the Draft Exbcutitb Mansion, 1 Washington, October 20lh, 1862. f It is hereby ordered that all persons who may have actually been drafted into the military service of the United States, and who may claim exemption on account of alienage, will make application therefor directly to the Department of State, or to their respective Minister or Consul. (Signed) Abraham Lincoln. By the President, W. H. Skward, Sec'y of State. War Dxpartmknt, > Washington, October 20th, 1862. f Pursuant to the above order the proper officers are directed to report to the De partment of State the cases to which the order refers. (Signed) E. M. Stnton, Sec'y of War. Latest From Richmond Fortress Moaaoa, Oct. 20.~?Tbe steam- I boat Commodore arrived at Fortress Mon roe at 1 o'clock to-day from Aiken's Land ing bringing down orer 600 paroled pris- I oners, many of whom came recently from Macon, Ga., and were captured at Cedar Mountain. There are but few officers. The Richmond Dispatch of the 18th Oct. says, from the remarkable consistency of the three reports published by us yester day, it seems that eur forces under Bragg gainod a great victory over Buell. Our loss was 5,000. The present position of onr is not known but doubtless they are in pur suit of the enemy. Hon. W. H Field, formerly ot Kentucky, whs murdered in Missouri by Federal sol diers. The Examiner of the 18th says: "We have some intelligent advices from onr ar my in Northern Virginia, but as they refer to anticipated movements we suppress that portion of them. Our lines are quiet. Tho enemy are still at Harper^s Ferry. Tue Federals on lastjWednedday were destroying the Rail road between Charlestown and Winchester. Alljinformation from our [rebel] army is burdeoed with unnecessary complaints of wretched and shameful arrangements for sick and wounded. Reports from Winches ter ?ay General Stuart is off on another foray and that a cavalry fight occured at Charlestown on Tbursdy last. No partic ulars received. "Gen.

C., and has a reputation for a large share of caution "Our exchanges speak with great anxiety of the prospect of an attack upon Mobile by the enemy, which might involve important consequences, as to the capture of that point would give the enemy immediate pos session of tne Alabama and Tombigbee rivers. A march of the enemy into the in terior of Alabama would succeed in cutting the Confederacy more completely in two than the enemy could hope to do even by possession of the Mississippi river through out its entire length, as it would destroy the line of communication now passing through Montgomery, which has been of incalculable benefit to the people the en tire South."
