Purdy, of Charies county, who were captured near Matta womaa creek—Gray being over tor the purpose of purchesing goods. and Purdy getting ready to rnn the blockade. The Wyandank brought up John Robbins, John M., W. P. and Z, Grorge, who were taken by the Reliance on the charge of firing into boats, &c.

It appears that about three weeks since, James Turley, residing in Tappahannock county, went io Baltimore and purchased a lot of goods, consisting mostly of dry-goods and groceries, valued at about $5,000 and weighing about two and a half tons, which | he bad transported to Mattawoman creek, where he hid them in the woods, and he was waiting an opportunity to transfer them across, in the meantime sleeping with the goods. Yes- terday week he died suddenly, it is supposed from haying been poisoned, and the goods were all carried off. The facts became known to | Master Morris, and he sent a boat's crew to look after them, and at the house of Mr. N. | Allen he found a lot stowed under a bed, which he seized.

C., Aug. 3.—A meeting of tha citizens of North Caroli: representing every county in the first and second Congressional districts, and & portion of the third, was held at Washington en the eleventh instant. The first North Carolina Union Regiment stationed at thut point participated in the meet- ing. Strong resolutions were adopted, expres- wing sympathy with the great conservative party of North Carolina, declaring an energetic prosecution of the war in this Department to be the only means by which the Union senti- ment can be developed, and bitterly attacking the Confederates. The Raleigh Standard of the 3ist of July de- nounces the treachery of the Confederate lead- ers; showing the falsity of their promises, and the ill success of their efforts; stating that por- tions only of but five of the original thirteen States remain in the bonds of the Confederacy, and proposing that North Carolina make an immediate overture to the North for peace. ——----+ 200 BUDGET OF SUUTHERN NEWS.

He says: It may be remarked in passing that the Federal cayairy have displayed unwonted spirit of late, and have come to be regarded with more respect than the infantry.
