B. F. White and —— Jones, of Maryland The patrolmen’s ~werrant was endorsed by the Provost Marshal, a8 usual in such cases, and the officer also carried a jetter from the magistrate td Col. Senges, of the 3a New York Artillery, in command at the fort Mr. White went with the officer to identify the property. Col. Senges refused to seenquite the sutbority of the patrolman or to notice the mag- istrste’s letter, and give up the property, and d= clared that be allowed no squires or offt-r-r in bis camp. The officer plesd the Provost Mor ebai’s apcroval, but with no effect; he hed to re- orn and report to the magistrate that-he was un- able to perform his whole duty, although the property was there fn thecamp. Justice Walter then applied to Gen. Wadsworth for an order on Gen. Whipple, at Arlington Heights, to obtein te stolen property. With the order of Gen Wadsworth be went to Aritegtod Heights, and met Col. Senges at Gen Whipple’s quarters. The order to deliver the borscs was at once given by Gen Whipple, Col. Senges told the magis- trate that he might have gol them by going to the fort, without gotng to Gen. Whipple; to which the magistrate replied that he thought thle the right and best way. The magistrate went then to the fort. and the Colonel whs there when be arrived. The horses were delivered up to the Justice, npon the ordet of Gen. Whipple.

Epiror Star:—In this morning’s Republican appears a local article headed ‘‘Kidnappers at their Inbuman Business Again,” &c., in which the gresecst injustice is done to an eminently worthy and respectable family. It is my purpose to notice only so much of the article in question as connects Mr Mankin and femily with the al- leged ‘‘kidnapping."? The facts of the case are briefly these : Yesterday morning two men drove to the resi- dence of Jas. Mankin, Erq , and inquired for = colored man named Jim, who was in the service of Mr Mankin. They were informed that Jim ‘was absent at the market with Mr Mankin, but would return In a few minutes. The men waited until the negro returned, when they arrested him under a writ issued for that purpose by one of the commissioners lately appointed by the Cir- cult Court. No pistol was used on the occasion, nor was the negro gagged. Mr Mankin did not return to bis bouse with the negro, but went dl- rectly from the market to the Criminal Court, where he was engaced iw Dearnass, and all maladies of the eye and ear exclusively treated by Dr Von Moscbzisker, ocu- list and aurist, 227 Peansylvania avenue.

Three-fourths of the troops, munitious and supplies of every description for the Rebel army at Richmond of necessity passed through Gor- donsville by rail. The blow is therefore = most important one, mote especially as it is the first of a series which we trust will do more to cripple the efficiency of their (rebel!)
