GUERRILLA DEPREDATIONS. ‘The guerrillas operating in Fairfax and Lou- den counties have become unusually bold of late. On Sunday a portion of White's gang, dressed in Federal uniforms, succeeded in entering our lines, and reaching Munson’s Hill, a point seven miles from Washingten, where they made a raid upon the stables of Mr. Munson and gebbled up six horses. They then made off, but were overhauled by some of our cavalrymen, and two of their number wera killed. The guerrillas, however, succeeded in getting away with the stolen horses. ee eee SUBJECT TO MILITARY DUTY.

SHOOTING AFFAIR AT BLADBNSRURG: day afternoon, a ycung man name Hiram Dowden was shot and killed at Bladensburg by & cavalry soldier on the porticoof Howell's restaurant under the following circumstances: Young Howell, who was a clerk in the shoe store of C. F. Cummings & Go., 7th street, near New York avenue, has been in the habit of visiting his grandfather, Mr. Clements, at Bla- densburg, every Sunday. Last Sunday after- noon, being ready to return to the city, he went to Howell’s restaurant with seme acquain- tances, ané took a seat on the back portico to awaitthe crrival of the cars. Conversation ensued among the young men, and the subject was the situation of South Carolina, and young Dowden claimed that she was not whipped yet. According to one account, he harrahed for South Carolina and Jeff. Davis, but this is denied by his friends. The cavalry soldier walked up to him, pat his hand on him and remarked, “I want you!” Young Dowden denied the soldier's right to af- resthim. The soldier told him he was under arrest, but Dowden still refused to acknowl- edge it, and still maintained his position on the chair. The soldier drew his revolver, pre- sented it and fired, the ball entering Dowden’s forehead, about half an inch above the eye, and passed through tLe head, causing death in a few minutes. The soldier immediately roounted his borse and left the village in haste, by the old bridge road. Upon reaching the guards near the camps, he was halted by a sentinel who inquired the cause of his haste He only replied, “I have shot some one!” and passed on to Fort Baker, where, we hear, he was arrested by the officer of the day, and is now in custody for trial. ‘The funeral of young Dowden took place to- day at Bladensburg, at 10 o’cloek a m., Rev. Father Wiget performing the services of the Oathoiic Church. The body will be interred at Queen’s Chapel, about three miles from MasbinE tony where the parents of Dowden are buried. ComMPLICATED OCase.—Last Saturday night two Third Ward officers overheard an arrange- ment made by two men to remove goods from a house in the Second, Ward, opposite Wil- lards’ Hotel. ‘The officer peo pay. notified the police of the Second Ward, and Sergeant Tait detailed roundsman Franklin and officer Hol- brook tosee what it meant. The porter who was engaged todothe hauling informed the Third Ward officers, and was advised to do the work in order to ventilate the scheme. At 3 o’clock Sunday morning the driver went to the place to remove the goods, and when the wagcn: was loaded the officers seized the goods and arrested A. P. G. Bedrosk’ and John Smith, alias Luff. The case was taken before Justice Miller. The eviaence showed that six months ago the good will and fixtures was bought by the sister of Lutt, who paid $1,000 cash anda note of #300 due sometime ‘after. The papers Were made out in the name of the prisoner, John Laff, her brother. not being made, the furniture was advertised for sale on Friday next. Tosave themselves, the prisoners were removing & )part of the tur- niture—about $300 worth. The Justice dis- missed the case of larceny on tie ground that there is no evidence of larceny; and if any one is damaged by the removal of the goods the remedy is by civil process beyond the magis- trate’s jurisdiction. ‘ _— Navy Yarp.—The Robert ‘Leslie arrived yesterday from the lower river, bringing up as passepger Hon.

THE Canat —It has been atated that “Dam No.5, above Williamsport, is washed away ; the stone aqueduct, two hundred feet high at Williameport, fallen in. The stone culvert four miles below carried away; three breaks near Sharpsburg; three more at Edwards Ferry. and four between Seneca and George- town.” We learn that the damage at No.5 is comparatively unimportant. The aqueduct where the greatest damage,was done is washed out about 100 feet and will be trunked and com pleted by the 25th inst. As to the breaks at Sharpsburg, Edwards’s Ferry and between Seneca and Georgetown, they are of no importance, it there are any, but ‘the existence of any such breaks is entirely un- known to offictals bere. Farmers and mer- chants who are acquainted with the condition of the eanal, consider the statement above re- ferred to very improbable. Merchants here have received the gratifying information that boats Bow at Sharpsburg and at depots in that vicinity are loading with produce for this mar- ket. hey have already received directions as to the disposition of flour and grain upon its arrival.

BRADDON, author of “The Outcasts.’ arora Floyd,’ Lady Audiey’s Secret,” Ke., &o. The publicatiom of this charming romance is commenced in the NEW YORK MERCURY of BATURDAY, MARCH 25. It is one of the choicest productions that has yet adoraed the pages of that celebrated Journal of Americau Literature. The fame of Miss Braddon is- too widely and warmly accepted to require any ex- tended notice. She has wen her way to the hearta of all who appreciate pure, refined, and lofty thought, expressed in language easy, bright and cheerful, yet dignified, and free from any approach: toward affectation, either grave orgay. There is an undercurrent of genuine and natural humor, too, that runs likeasiiver thread through Misa Bradden’s text, and lends a peculiarcharm to the most serious a8 well as to the lighter portions of all thatehe has written. Her very best charac- teristics sppear in this her latest and undoubtedly most matured and artistic performance MAUDE HILLARY opens in the Tasmanian Peninosals, amid the fresh scenes of BRITISH AUSTRALIA and the quaint life and manners of the Golopiae at the Antipodes. Francis Tredethiyn, tire“ peor soldier,” of the work, is a splendid specimen o} his profession, and the reader’s attention Is, at at once, riveted by the strong, manly individuality he represents. The scenes that ensue are as novel and striking as the landscapes of the country in which they are laid, yet intermingled constantly with fine touches of English home-life, and kindly domes- tic feeling BOTH HEART AND IMAGINATION sre immediately interested, and the perusal of a single chapter convinces the most indifferent ew blase critic that he bas, indeed, before him? , uosT FASCINATING Work.
