THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON CITY: THURBSDAY.... . APRIL 16, 1863 “2 READING MATTER ON EVERY PAGE. BEE OUTSIDE FOR INTERESTING TELE- GRAPHIC AND OTHER MATTER. SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS, The Chronicle thinks that it could make some allowance for disloyalty in the loyal States if the Government had been unreasonably severe; but as the war has been conducted with so much leniency towards its enemies, it can form no excuse for those who desire its overthrow. Justice Carter's charge to the grand jury of this city, and the recent proclamation of General Burneide, are regarded as indicative of a better state of affairs, when unconditional loyalty will be made the test and enemies to the Goy- ernment be permitted no longer to enjoy its protection. The Intelligencer, noticing the New York World's expressions ef alarm at an intimation contained in the letter of Gen. Halleck to the committee of invitation of the « Loyal Leagues of New York,” to the effect that our patriotic armies willere lonz crush the rebellion at the South and « then place their heels upon the heads * sneaking traitors in the North,” says that the metaphor is plainly political, and not military. OUR MILITARY BUDGET ee geen THE SITUATION ON THE BLACKWATER. ‘The advices from the Blackwater are still exciting. The enemy in large force still men- ace our troops in that section, and some appre- hensious for the safety of Suffolk have been entertamed. The proceedings in that yicinity may be summed up us follows:—The rebels ¢ressed the Blackwater from Franklin, on the morning of Saturday last, with the professed intention of getting between Suffolk and Nor- tolk, ther@éby cutting off railroad and tele- graphic communication. Late in the day some slight skirmishing took place, and Col. Spear advanced with his cavalry origade to a point on the Blackwater road, one mile from Suf- folk, from whence he opened upon the enemy’s skirmishers with his howitzers. In the even- ing the bridge over the Nansemond river was blown up, thus foiling any designs the rebels might have had of entering Suffolk over this structure, and torpedoes were placed under all the other bridges leading tothe town. At daylight on the 12th, our troops abandoned their position on the South Quay road, and two hours later the adyance of a rebel force on the road from Somerton, thirteen miles south- west, wus announced, and also that of another body on the road from Zuni. The latest direct information is up to noon of the 12th, and 1s to the effect that the enemy had their field pieces in position on the Petersburg railroad, in front of our Ines, with a large force of infantry in reserve, and that other commands were ad- | vancing up the Edenton and Somerton roads, | It was believed by our troeps that they could successfully resist any attack the enemy might mike, but the public will await with anxiety further details, CHARLESTON PAPERS ON THE THE 7TH. Rebel accounts of the fight of the iron-clads, from Charleston papers ot the sth, state their casualties in Fort Sumter to be one mortally wounded, two severely wounded and three Slightly wounded. At Fort Moultrie one man was killed by falling from a flag-staff. One gun in Sumter was dismounted, and a shot passed through the flag which floated from its battlements. On Sullivan’s Island twohouses were struck, one of which was demolished, At Battery Wagner six artillerymen were wounded—four mortally and two slightly. It 43 evident from the tone of the Charleston pa- pers that on that dxy, the Sth, they fully ex- pected the attack to be renewed, and, though hopeful in tone, they do not seem to feel that they were by any means “out of the woods” +02 FIGHT OF Dects10oN.—The Commissioner of Internal Revenue has made the following decision : is, tents, | o’clock,on THURSDAY EVENING, léth inst. shades, awnings, and bags, | when miunufactured by persons who own the | materials, are subject to a duty of three per | cent ad valorem.

[From the Mobile Register, March We_ have learned thaton Wednesd: 1,500 Yankees made 4n incursion upon Poncha- toula, which was guarded by only 150 cavalry, and so sudden was their advent that our men were obliged to run without their horses. They retreated about twenty miles, telegraphing at an intermediate station for reimforcements, | which came the next day in the form of 1,200 | of our Indian troops, and run the Yankees back, encamping a considerable distance be- yond Ponchatoula. The Yankees set fire to | the depot and several houses, which were ex- tinguished, but they succeeded in burning all the schooners in which a set of traitors have been trading to New Orleans with ‘the con- niyance of some of our officers.

EXECUTION OF CAPT. G. A, WEBSTER, OF THE UNION ARMY, AT RICHMOND. [From the Richmond Whig, April 11.) The execution ef G. A. Webster, who was sentenced to death by court-martial for violation ot his parole of honor, took place yesterday at Camp Lee, near this city. The prisoner held a commission under the bogus Pierpont Govern- ment, and when first captured was released upon parole, but again took up arms against the Confederate States, and was a second time takén. For this military offense he was con- demned to suffer death by hanging. He was accompanied from the prison to the camp yes- terday by his spiritual adviser, Rev. Dr. Brown, of the Presbyterian Church, and by several military officials. The guard was composed of Waren’s company of cavalry. The prisoner was dressed in the unitorm of a Federal officer. He was extremely weak, from an injury received when he attempted to make his escape on a recent occasion, but otherwise seemed to main- tain considerable fortitude. On arriving at the ground halfan hour was devoted to religious exercise, in the carriage. and the prisoner asked the oflicer in command to extend his time until three o'clock, the latest moment allowed by the terms of his sentence: butit was not deemed expedient to grant the request. He was assisted up the steps of the gallows and seated over the trap, and being asked if he had anything to say, declined to make any remarks. He gave the signal by dropping a hat trom his hand, and at twenty- three minutes before one o'clock was launched into eternity. His death was almost instanta- neous. About a year since a Yankee spy of the same reme was executed by hanging on the same spot. Tue BaLtimorne Presnytery.—This body assembled at the Franklin Square Church, Baltimore, on Tuesday. Rey.

We make the following abstract from the stutement of an eye-witness ef the recent bread riots in Richmond as officially reported: The riot continued for two Those en- gaged in it were chiefly women, the wives of soldiers, who were in a starving condition. They numbered a thousand or more, and broke into the stores, the keepers of which endeayored | January, was commenced. The jurors were sworn on their voir dire. and the following were selected from the regular panel:—S. R. Sylve ter, J.R. Condin, James Mankin, Thos. Mil- burn, John R. Queen, Alexander Forrsst, Wm A.

At this point, the soldiers umed their quarre] and ren- dered assistance, Finally a cavalry company trom Williamsburg and the city battalion were sent for to quell the riot. Bread riots similar to those in Richmond had occurred in North Carolina and Petersburg. The middle class of the people of Richmond think the rebels will be staryed ont, From the same source we obtain the follow- ing: The rebel army is as strong as ever, and at the Tredegar Works and other places they are | turning out better and larger guns than eyer Charleston—the first practical test of iron- , clads—must be regarded as the mostimportant | event in naval history. To this country the gallant assault on Sumter by the new and un- { mishing between Stoneman’s command and tried vessels, exposed to the terrible flanking fire of numerous other ferts is fraught with in- calculable benefit. Whatever may be the ul- terior object of Government, the substantial advantage has already been secured of know- ing exactly what the irou-clads canendure, and whatremains to be done to render the new sys- tem perfect. It was high time that a practical test was instituted, since we are building a more numerous iron-clad fleet than possessed by all Europe. The nation may thank the commanders of the Monitors for the knowledge gained through their gallantry. With less daring on their part, ; cate any serious collision. the Navy Departinent would yet lackinforma- | tion necessary to direct the completion of the impregnable fleet now building. At the same time, the spirited attack on Sumter, and the havoc made during the halfan hour's contest, | yarns the Confederate leaders that they must | keep their numerous batteries fully manned, and that they must not for a moment slacken their vigilance with Dupont and his Monitors within half a day's sai The history of war may be searched in vain for an instance of such costly preparations, kept up at such a vast expenditure, as Charles. ton now requires, to ward off the blow from half adozen small vessels,manned, provisioned, and coaled at less cost than an ordinary first- clas rew ship.

T. Jones and John Harrison, charged with the robbery of Samuel Hoover, of a large amount of money, onthe 1ith of March last. My. Norris appeared for the defendants. Both of the prisoners were present. Edgar Hurdle, Mathias Haggerty, Mary Cas- tello, and Michael Castello, were called by the prosecution to proye that Harrison was not at home from sundown on Saturday until Mon- day morning, as was asserted by Harrison's friends. The two former witnesses s wore posi- tively that they saw Harrison on the Sunday after the robbery, on New York avenue, in neighborhood of Seventh and Bighth str Mr. and Mrs. Castello knew of Harrison hay- ing been in their honse some five or six weeks ago, but they could not swear whether he was there after or before the Hooyer robbery. It ‘was, however, some tour or five weeks ago. Mathias Haggerty was certain he met Harri- son on the Sunday atter the robbery. That time was fixedin his mind from the fact that he went with a companion toa barber shop, and was there told of the rebbery, and a short | time afterwards met Harrison. Walter B. Donaldson was again called, and | testified to the same facts as at the examination | on Tue: ) yesterda: y) 8ll of which was published in y’s Star. In answer toa question as to what he did, he said he most times sold papers. Mr. Norris gave him some good ad- vice, and asked if he always stuck to that business; when Donaldson, after a little hesi- tation, replied that he sometimes stole. Justice Clayton here warned him not to tell anything that might criminate himself. In answer to a question where the money was planted, he said he did not knew, but it might spring up. If he (witness) had known where it was he would haye lifted it himself. He also ac- knowledged that they stole the hats from Dayis’ hat store. He admitted that he was held under a number of charges, but said he Was builed out of jail. Noone had,teld him that it he would give testimony in this case they would get him out ot jail. The first witness called for the defence was the father ef the defendant Harrison, who swore that bis son came home early in the evening, and staid there allevening. Mr. Har- ri-on Was aise at home ali day Sunday, except When be would be iv thy ‘d tor a few mo- ments. But when he (the father) went out John (or Shaw, as he is sometimes called) was always in the room, and was there when he re- turned. He knew it was the Saturday of the Hooyer robbery, because when he heagd of the robbery he remarked to the family that he was glad his son was not out of the house at the thine. Miss Thomassina Marrison, a sister of the ac- cused, testified to the same state of facts. She could not swear positively that John (or Shaw) was notoutof the heuse on Sunday, because | she was at church, but when she went out he was there und when she came back be was at home. Miss Anna Harrison, another sister, corrobo- | rated her sister's testimony, and was certain it was the Saturday and Sunday of the Hoover robbery, because her mother said to her son, “Thank Heayen, Shaw, they have you in every scrape, but they can’t say now it was you.” This witness swore that her brother Was positively at home at 4 o’clock on Satur- day night. Witnesses were then called to prove an alibi on the partof Richard Jones. His father was the first one called, and he testified that h> got home about half past six, and got his supper. Richard came in after the family had got sup- per, and his mother prepared it for him. This ‘Was probably half past seyen. After Richard got his supper, he staid with the family half an hour, and then went out, and did not come in again until about midnight. On Sunday the prisoner staid in bed until 2 o’clock In the afternoon. When he came in in the evening of Sunday, he told the family of Hoover's rob- bery. Patrolman Morris, ot the Fourth Ward, tes- titied that he saw Jones at Wash. Dougherty’s restaurant on Seventh street, near 1, about twenty minutes past eight, on the night of Hoover’s robbery. He saw him at the same place again at half-past nine; and again at eleven. At twelve o’clock or after, he heard of the Hooyer robbery, and he went into Dougherty’s, and asked who had been there trom up town, and was told no one but Jones, und that he had been there all night. David Stewart and Y. Buren corroborated Mr. Morris’ statement, as they were present at Dougherty’s in company with Jones, the en- tire evening. Mr. Norris, in summing up, argued that the alibi of both parties was fully proven, and thought it the duty of the Justice to dismiss the case. He dwelt particularly upon the tes- timony for the United States (that of Donald- son), which he argued could not be depended upon, on account of the admitted bad character of the witness. Justice Clayton thought the boy had given a clear and concise statement, and he coald not totally ignore inso important a case the testimony for the prosecution. He would there- fore hold the prisoners for court. They were committed to jail for court, in default of $2,500 bail. eee CriminaL Court.—Judge Fisher.—Michael Timegan, charged with an assault on Edward Connolly, plead guilty, and submitted himself tothe mercy of the court, when he was sen- tenced to pay a fine of $L,and tothe gail for thirty days.
