We ate pained tb announce tliat Mr. Hidell, secretary to'Vice Presdent Stephens, yesterday received & telegram from Augusta, aunouncing the sudden and serious illuess of Mr. Stephens at hishome at Urawfordville, Ga, He was at- tacked on Monday morning, and sent on tbat day to Augusta for a physician. This attack, with the known state of his health during the winter, ias created striohs apprehensions in the minds of his friends. He was prevented from coming to Richmond at the beginning of the session of Congress by the serious’ illness of his brother, the Hon. , Linton Stephens, at Milledgeville; thea.by his own feeble health and the great severity of the weather... When again ready to start for Rich- mond, his brother was a second time very severely attacked, which delayed his coming over a week. He was.a third time ready to leave; an@ would, no doubt, have started: to this city yesterday morning but for this un- timely attack. Should he recover, as we trust he will, it is altogether probable he wilk be unable to visit Richmond during this winter. [Norz.—-The above bundle of excuses for the continued absence of Mr. Stephens from Rich mond, seems to be regarded in official circles here as confirmatory of the truth of the state- meut of the servant ot Jeff Davis who recent- ly reached Washington, to the efféct that Ste- phens had guarreled with Davis & Oo., and civen up all connection with the rebel public ticrs, if lie Sad not actually gone abroad, to or his n=socistion with them.—Ep.

The trip up was made Against the tide in two hours and fifty-four minutes, the average being about fifteen miles per hour, From this running it is evident, should the propose! race take place with the Kiukong, the taticr will have an ugly cus. tomer to deal with, I: iuust be borne in mind that the Untaw was not in light working order, but hus armament, cvuals anu provisions on *O Ins tance, in hy Auce WaE n a halt miles ps aye » thas | | board.

The fact that five rebel deserters from Mose- by’s command having come within our lines at Muddy Branch, and given themselves up, and were brought to this city under guard of a squad of “Scott's 900,” gaye rise to a rumor on the Avenue to-day that the guerrillas had crossed the river into Maryland. The rumor is without foundation, further than we have stated. FORWARDED TO CAMP CHASE, OHIO. One hundred and forty convalescents and deserters, under a guard of the Invalid Corps, commanded by Lieut. M. L. Stover, were for- ‘warded this afternoon from Camp Distribution to Camp Chase, Ohio, to be returned t> their regiments serving in the West.

Thompson was the tenant, aad an action was brought under the law of Mary- land of 1793, to eject him; the jury yeaa s, against him. Thompson thereupon applie for a writ of certiorari, and in his Tetitton he alleges that the act of 1793 does not apply to tenancies from month to month or from yeur to year, and therefore the magistrates had no ju- Tisdiction m such cases; and even if they pos- sessed such jurisdiction, they transcended it by adjourning the trial without the consent ot the petitioner (Thompeon) or his counsel.
