AN ARRIVAL FROM RICHMOND, passe nese DIXIE A HARD ‘PLACE TO LIVE IN. paras estate HIRTY THOUSAND DOLLARS OFFERED FOR A PASS TO GET OUT OF IT! is ig A few days since, Mr. W. H. Duvall, a ma- chinist, formerly of Howard county, Mary- Jand, arrivea here from Richmond, (where he das been residing since 1860,) with his wife and child, having left that place on the 11th inst, in aspring wagon, with which he traveled to Mazingo's Ferry, on the Rappahannock, cross- ing which he obtained a carriage, and came Over the northern neck of the Potomac, which he also crossed, and made his way up through Maryland, reaching this city in nine days from the time he started. Mr. Duvall left Richmond on the 14th inst., being provided with a pass through the lines, trom the rebel Secretary of War, countersigned by Gen. Elzey, who is in command of the pickets about Richmond. For this pass he ‘was offered by several parties who weredoubt- less anxious to dodge the rebel conscription, and one man, reported to be worth thirty thou- sand dollars, offered him all that he was worth for it. [A sweet country, where the people are willing to give all they possess to get out of it!_Ed. Star.] Mr. Duyall had been ill for some time and therefore has not had an opportunity of know- ang much of what was going on about the city, He was informed, however, that at the Navy Yard several iron olads were being built. There were when he left but few troops in or about the city—a small number of infantry men being engaged on guard duty in Richmond and a detachment of artillery garrisoning tha ; forts. Provisions of all kinds are very scarce, but | it is believed that the speculators have much preduce stored away. Beef is retailingatfrom | three to four and a half dollars per pound +-<cOn Was very scarce and our informant does not think that a dozen hams were on sale in the en ‘ire city. There is but little donbt but that there is considerable Union sentiment in the city, and this is increasing; the passage of the last law | for ccnscripting ali citizens, whether they have furnished substitutes or not, which is very ob- noxious to ali classes, and the sufferings of the people, daily making more converts to Union- | ism. The people in the cities have been the greatest sufferers for want of food and cloth- | ing, and are therefore getting tired of the war; | but those living in the country, who can make | most of their own provision, seem to be less | open to conviction. | At Mazingo Ferry, Mr. Duvall was detained | Yor twenty-four hours, on account of the raid i of Gen. Marston ( Union) through the Northern | Weck This raid created intense excitement in that part of Virginia, and the inhabitants hid | their boats, together with most of provisions. | it appears that but little private property was taken or destroyed by our troops, and the peo- | ple through whose places they passed, express surprise that so little damage was done them. The raiding party, it is said, xot off in about the right time, as but a few hours had elapsed after they had embarked before a force of sey - eral hundred rebel cavalry reached the point of embarkation SS DESERTER FOUND hone REBEL PRISON. Edward A. Thomas alias William A.

TERRIBLE EXPLOSION IN NEW YORK New York, Jan. 27.—A terrible affair oc- curred at No. 65 Maiden Lane, last night.

The Marine Bard, under Prof. Scala, fur- nished excellent music, as usual. 7 A negro servant, long the attendan’ of Jeft. Davis, and well known as such, reached this city on Monday. He gives some informa- tion. which is “important if true.” It seems that Davis is in tayor of giving up Virginia and retiring with his Government to Georgia, but General Lee is dead against it, and says ‘that ff Virginia is given up all the soldiers oY that State will desertthe redelcause. The ser Fant says that Alexander H.
