Se A LETTER FROM JEFF DAVIS AMONG THE PAPERS TAKEN. ———— Adetachment of Col. Baker’s Rangers, who left here a week ago, returned in safety last evening. They repert that they had, during their absence, several brushes with Moseby and White’s men, and that they succeeded in putting them to flight in each instance. One of these engagements was at Snicker’s Gap, and another at Smith's farm, neat Mid- dleburg. Our forces in the latter instance were aware that the enemy outnumbered them two to one, but determined they would test their fighting ability, and divided themselves into two detachments, suddenly dashed upon them and put them to flight in a very short time. On one occasion, Moseby having stopped at the house of a Mr. Richardson, near Middle- burg, to get his breakfast, the effurt. was made to capture him. Unfortunately he escaped, but his horse and saddle-bags were taken. In the saddle-bags were found a large number of letters, one of them bearing the auto- graph of Jeff. Davis; publicdocuments, diaries, official returns of Mosby’saurgeon and other papers. Some of the letters are of that cluss called love epistles and are exceedingly racy. In allour brushes with the enemy, only one man was killed.

McGill, when he discloced the matt 'r to wit- ness, adviced her not to mention the matier to her parents, lest there should be difficulty, but to go to Aliot’s store with him and he would prove her sister's gnilt. McGill had said to her that her sister was the personification of deceit. He had not been on speaking terms witp het sister fortwo or three weeks previonsly. He had made profes- sions of love to her (the witness) and she told his 5 Mr. Davidge said that, as the case had gone to the , he would like to have the charge ill also returned, together with names of witnesses in the case. Mr. Bradley desired to see the warrant inthe case. His client had a right to know with what he stood charged. Justice Clayton stated that, as had been the usual practice here, there was no warrant issued in either case, when both parties had been here under arrest. Mr. Bradley suggested that as there was no warrant, and had been no investigation, there could be no return of proceedings to the Grand Jury. The Grand Jury were competent to try the case. Mr. Davidge was prepared for a full inves- tigation. He only asked that in conformity with previous practice, that the proceedings thus far be returned to the Grand Jury. Justice Clayton regarded McGill as under a recegnizance to appear here to-day. him she had pe‘confidence in him; that he had Mr. Bradley understood that the charge | pcid Pre ae to her sister, and after. against Mr. McGill was not upon the day of | wards to Mi Harry, of Georgetown. McGill the shooting. Maj. H. T. Dixon said it was all a part of th; same transaction. Mr. Davidge said the whole thing w,; nutshell. A lady had been vilei, and the slander had come to t! her brother, and the broth cowhided the slangerer. He draws a weapon wpon the asgailé latter runs, Vag assailant shoots, and ul®{r- tunately bits Me wrong man. Now it was‘due to have Mr. McGill’s conduct explained ante- cedent to that matter. He took it for feshted that the grand jury un- derstood their duty tothe public, and would consider pro and con all the matter in the case, and he merely asked that the proceedings had in the cause be certified tothe grana jury to- gether with the names of the <vitnesses. ‘It is due to the grand jury and ts the duty of a judi- cial officer to certify to the grand jury such facts as will aid them in advancing the cause of justice. TY. Bradley had no desire to suppress or ex- cludeany testimony. The whole affair was exceedingly painful; both the alleged provoca- tion and the mode of punishment. He objected to such certified proceedings as Mr. Davidge asked for being transmitted to the grand jury, for the justice was not supposed to know (in the absence of testimony) any more about the case than merely what the warrants stated. He would say that the charge against Mr. Mc- Gill was unjust, and would proye that he had never published such a libel as is alleged, but had ever treated Mr. Dixon’s family with re- spect, Vie would also prove that McGill was re- treating when the shot was fired at him. He thought it would be best to have a private in- vestigation before the grand jury. r. McGill as he had a right to do, made an election, an elected to go tothe grand jury. He (Mr. Brad- ley) had no desire to suppress the examina- tion, but it seemed more proper and most deli- cate, to let a secret tripunal inyestigate the matter. Mr. Davidge asked then that the whole mat- ter should go there. " Z Mr. Bradley again objected to certified pro- ceedings being sent to the grand jury Mr. Davidge agreed that the two cases—that against McGill, and that against Dixon—were inseparably connected. He thought himself it would,be best to bring the matter before a secret tribunal, bui he did not care how public it was made. His client had not resorted oa secret tribunal, -Mr. Bradley’s argument (said Mr. D.) was that Major Dixon ought to do as McGill did, and go before the grand jury. There is no special line of conduct marked out relative to this matter A justice generally pursues the line ot conduct best calculated to insure sustice toall. Ifhe (Mr. D.) were to construe matters strictly, McGill's recognizance would be pro- nounced forteited. He (McGill) was bound to appear here. He had not been dragged betore the grand jury, but had gone voiuntarily. About this time Mr.G. W. McGill appeared, aud Mr. Bradley, after a moment’s consulta- tion, stated that his client hud been examined by the grand jury, and that they desired other witnesses, and had charged bim (McGill) with & commission. Mr. Davidge desired to know what that com- mission was. J Mr. Bradley said that what transpired be- fore the grand jury was secret. Mr. McGill could be sworn as Y what was the commis- sion. The proceedings were at this moment par- tially interrupted by an officer serving upon Collin Dixon a warrant issued on the 3d of October by Justice Johnson at the instance of Gec. W. McGill, charging him (Dixon) with defaming the character of McGill, and with threatening to do him injury. After this warrant had been served, the ques- tion of sending the whole matter to the grand jury again came up. i Mr. Bradley had no desire to suppress intel- ligence, buthe did notsee that the charge of Major Thixon ecningt McGill was at all ger- mane to the case. There is no warrant prefer- ing a charge against Mr. McGill. Mr. Bradley further imsisted that a warrant against him (McGill) should be filled out at once, so that he could know with what he was charged. The warrant was accordingly filled up in accordance with the charge of Major Dixon, preferred on Monday and noticed at the time. Mr. Bavidge asked for another warrant against McGill, aud one was consequently filled up, charging him with making and pub- lishing a talse and malicious libel against “Susan W. Dixon, on or about the —— day of September last; which libel was eontained in a letter written by the said McGill, wherein the said Susan W. Dixon was charged with steal- ing or attempting to steal sundry hair braids from — Aliot.” - Mr. Bradley said he was ready to answer the two warrants. He was now upon the defen- sive. Justice Clayton held that it was the duty of said that he had paid attentions to Miss Harry only to mage witness jelous. Mrs. Anff& E. Dixon testified to the particu. lars of the reception of the letter by her hus- band, and the events that followed. and said that when she stated the tact to the brother of McGill that McGill had made such a charge, and asked what he meant by it, the brother replied that McGill must be drank. |Objected to as not evidence by Mr. Bradley. At this point the case was postponed until six o’clock to-morrow evening; Mr. Bradley having previously withdrawn the case against H. T. Dixon, jr. Mr. George W. Mc(Jill was required to give bail in thesum of $~00 for his appearance to- morrow vcvening. —— CRIMINAL COURT, Judge Fisher.—The follow- ing were discharged from fail at the suggestion of the grend jury: Patrick Murphy, assault and battery; Thomas Jchnson, larceny; and Thomas Brown, robbery.
