SSE AEROS The Enemy Across the Rapidan—His Par- tial Repulse. [From the Examiner of Monday.) We leara from an officer who reached here yesterday immediately from Gen. Lee’s lines that on Saturday evening the enemy in heavy force cro: sed the Rapidan at three fords—Mor- ton’s, Raccoon Ford and Barnett’s, the last about three miles trom Orange Coart-House, and the others lower down the river. At two of the ford:—Morton’s and Barnett’s—the en- emy was repulsed and driven across the river. Atlast accounts the enemy was on the other side of the river, except at Barnett’s, where firing yesterday morning denoted some action, It is supposed that this movement of the enemy is merely intended to engage Lee's attention, and to cover his movements on the Peninsula. The War News—Richmond Threatened by the Enemy—The Yankees in Large Force at Talleysville. Some days ago a report was obtained by the authorities here from a Yankee deserter that the enemy was contemplating a raid, in con- siderable force, on Richmend. The report ob- tained consistency from a number of circum- stances, and impressed the authorities to such a depree that a disposition ot forces was made to anticipate the supposed designs of the en- emy. At nine o'clock Saturday night a force of the enemy, numbers not known, but consisting of cavalry with some artillery, made a demon- stration at Bottom’s bridge, und drove in our pickets. The news was not generally communicated to the public until Sunday morning; the first signal of excitement being the tap of the alarm bell, which readily summoned the second class militia and the local forces in Capitol Square and at other places of rendezvous. A dispatch was also received early yesterday Morning trom General Wade Hamilton, at Hamilton's Crossing, stating that the enemy Was threatening an advance. A train was dis- patched to his relief. In the meantime, out of the excitement in Richmond had been suddenly produced the mcs. wild and extrayagant rumors, the enume- ration of which would be idle and tedious. In the progress of the day these reports assumed a more definite form. It appeared that the enemy made another demonstration ox Colonel Shingler’s lines yesterday morning, and in this instance were repulsed, some two or unree companies being engaged on our side. The force of the enemy was not uncovered, but as far as it could be perceived consisted of five regiments, mostly cavalry: it being doubt- ful, of course, whether they were only an advance guard of the entire force. lt was not thought necessary yesterday to move the local iorces beyond the city fortifica- tions: and the disposition of other troops was mnade to hold the enemy in check. Lieutenant General Ifood was assigned to the command of all the defensive forces, and took the fieid at an early hour yesterday. LATER. After their demonstration in the morning at Bottou’s Bridge, the enemy, or 2 considerable detachment of his cavalry, crossed the York River Railroad near Dispatch Station, and at- tempted to ford the Chickahominy at Grape- vine Bridge, or what ismore commonly known as IeClellun’s Bridge, evidently intending to geth: ourrear. They found it impossible to ford the Chickahominy here, on account of the large amount ct felled timber in the swamp. Alter en ineffectual attempt to get through the sw mp, they retired in the direction of Talleys- ville, which is about eight miles from Bottom’s Bridge. Discovery of an All d Plot to Liberate the Prisoners and A Ssimate the Presi- dent—Arrestof tie Ringleaders and Seiz- ure of Documents. For several days past the Government has been in possessicn of facts that hinted, beyond adonbt, to the existence of a secret organiza- tion of disloyal men, having for its opj*ct the forcible release of tne Yankee prisoners held at the Libby and on Belle Isle, the assassina- tion of the President, and the destruction of the Government buildings and workshops located ere, Capt. Macenbbin, chief of the detective corps, Was assigned the duty ot penetrating the mys- teries of the case, and threading the details through the labyrinths of rumor to their head and eource, That official put the matter into the hands of two of his most experienced detectives, Messrs. Reese and Mitcheil, who immediately set to work, and on Saturday night they arrested, at his house on 17th street, between Main and Franklin, 2 German named A. W. Heinz, a ba- ker, upon the charge of being a prominent mem- ber of the treasonable association. He was furthermore charged with inciting Confederate soldiers to mutiny and the assassination of the President. The detectives seized along with Heinz a great number of the most important papers, including the roll of membership of the organization, and documents of such a character as to leave no doubt of his crime, and the criminality of others. The documents were taken possession of yes- terday by General Winder, whoordered Heinz, to be placed in secure quarters at Castle Thun- der, and to allow him nocommunication what- ever with any outside parties. Heinz the repated ringleader has always been looked upon as a disloyal man, and his associ- ates in treason are all pretty much of his own character and social standing. It is possible that other arrests wiil follow, as the treason will be probed to its depth, no matter whom it affects. Fifty-cent Loaves of Bread. The Dispatch publiehes the following: Loaf bread is becoming small by degrees and beautifully less, if we are to judge their size by the one which a blackemith named John Dean purchased for fifty cen’s, and, on a small wager, ate attwo mouthtuls. This feat occurred at a smith’s shop at the Navy Department, and is vouched for by several eye- witnesses. A Tale of Horror—Two Cavalrymen Mur- dered by Negro Soldiers. (From the Examiner of Monday.} We learn thaton Friday last two members of the Prince William cavalry, named Davis and Reynolds, succeeded in’ capturing four negroes im the Yankee service, belonging to the «Home Guard” of Fairfax county. The cay- alrymen took the negroes to Dumfries, and on Friday night placed them in an unoccupied house. Having imprudently fallen to sleep, the cavalrymen were attacked and overpow- ered by the negroes, their skulis cleft by some sharp instrument, and their bodies mutilated in the most horrible manner. They were found next morning welteriag in their blood, and lived only long enough to relate the cir- cumstances of the terrible tragedy which had befallen them. Suspension of the Habeas Corpus. Itis generally reported that for some time past the House of Representatives has been considering, in secret session, a bill to suspend the habeas corpus; and it is believed by a portion ot the public that the bill has been passed in this branch of Congress + with certain re erya- tions.”” Exchange of Prisoners. For several days rumor has asserted that the late secret cessions of the Virginis. Legislatuce bad been spent in discussing certain resolu- tions urging the Confederate Government to recall the outlawry of Butler in order that an exchange of prisoners may be resumed. We have no means of knowing whether the ramor bas any foundation in truth. We hope that tie Confederate Government will not aliow itself to be influenced in the least by any pressure from outside. Tue Bounty Bitt.—Governor Bradford has issued his proclamation annouaciog the eae sage of the bounty bill by the Legislature, an explaining iis provisions.

January 3.—Went, and was shown to the room of the Advocate Pasqualoni. I was ac- companied by my friend M.Gouthier, Consul of Greece in Rome. The questions were at follows :—The names of my tather and mcther. Have you published abcok? Yes. Your profession? An art stu- gent. Your residence? 65 Via del Tritone. When did you arrive? Six weeks ago. How many times have you been in Rome! Twice. How long did youstay each time? Twomonths the first snd six weeks the last. How long do you intend to remain this time? Till April. Have youa fixed residence in France? No. How many books have you written? One. How mary copies have been sold? Aslam not my own publieher it would be impossible to say. After you became a Catholic did you exercise your power as a medium! Neither before nor after did I exercise my power as a medium, in- asmnch as itis not @ power dependent on my will; I conld not use it. How do you make these things. I think the reply I have just given is sufficient for this. Do you consider your power agittot nature! No, / consider it agiftof God. What constitutes a trance?

He then said, without as- signing any reason, that | must leave Rome in three days. Do you consent? No, most de- cidedly not, inasmuch as I have done nothing to infringe the laws of this orany other country. I will consult the English Consuland be guided by bim. Such is the report of a procedure which is eminently characteristic of the Pontifical Gov- eipment. On Moraay morning the British Consul saw Monsignor Mattencci, the Govern- or of Rom, ard comp'aired that any British subjec: shou'd be interfered with in conse- guence ot his opinions. He stated that Mr. ome had conducted himself during his resi- derce in Rcme ina strictly legal and geutle- meéniy manner, aud demanded that the ob- noxious crder should be rescinded. Monsignor spoke of dangerous powers of fascination, of the prcbibit:on of all the practices of the black art, and finally assented to Mr. Heme’s re- msining, on concition of his enterjug into an engagcment, through Mr. Severn, that he would desist from all commanication with the spiritual world during his stay in Rome. An aereement to that effect was drawn up and sigred Ly Mr. Home, who will henceforward abs'ain ircm all communication with the upper cr lower world, as the case may be, during his residence in Rome.

Eorron, Feb. &.—Afier the search of Green’s person he wes conducted into an adjoining Tocm, where he was informed that he had been followed and watched forsome time. There- upcn—witheut any unusual emotion—he con- fessed his guilt. He stated that on the day of the murder Le visited the bank twice; the first time he found there @ corductor, who lefta pair of skates; the next time was at half ae eleven. Immediately on entering he went into the director's rcom, and seeing no one, he drew his pistol,—a six-harreled Smith & Wesson re- yolver—placing the muzzle within’ a foot of young Converse’s head and fired; the ball taking effect under or back of his ear. He in- stantly discharged a second barrel, the ball taking efiect in Conveise’s temple, while his victim lay on the floor. After the cosumma- tion of the deed he seized the bills in the draw- er, about five thousand dollars, and went ‘ohis own cffice. He informed the persons present that a portion of the money was concealed in a piece of bewspaper, in au old boot in the post office. Six hundred and fifteen dollars were found ashe had directed. He further stated that the balance was secreted under the floor of the Volunteer Engine house, and on making search, three thousand four hundred and fifty- four dollars in Malden cank bills were found, making in all four thousand and sixty-nine dollars. This, with several sams paid py him, accounts for the whole amount stolen from th Bavk. He also stated that the pistol was ina drawer athis boarding house, and on going there it was found Green was brougbt to this city and commit- ted to he Tcombs. The irelings of his wife on hearing of bis arrest can be better imagined than described.
