Testerday in the streets of the city one of the local police picked up a little negro ooy aoour 4w vars old. who was almost in a state of nudity wearing only an army blouse, buttoned near the collar by one button. Ho was carried before the mayor, from pure charity alone, that something might be done for him, and at the same time relieve the streets from; such, a sight. The mayor could do nothing better than to turn him o?er to , the military, who Tery probably placed him in charge of the freedsaen's bureau. "While such sights as these are not prebiuely common in the city, yet, there are many cases nfpxtieme destitution, much worse than this, unknown to the outside world. Only a few days ago a little white boy, one ot mnQt. decided wrecks of humanity, and who carried in his countenance every extreme of misery and want, was walking about on Market street, begging alms of every passer-by. The little fellow had been a long sufferer from drop sv. and was one of a large . family who have for weeks enjoyed what bounty, the agents of the government could bestow upon them. Medi-.i-noa were the crreater tax : out of -seven there was not one of them but had been long sick and upon the charge of the post surgeon here. They rpfntrpfis from one of the outside counties and were compelled frem the apparent want and destitution about them to seek an asylum in i itv. Inauirv satisfactorily showed - -J Wt mr that they were once a flourishing . and thrifty Fomilv industrious and happy. The little fel low -with this rugged sign of want and distress upon his face and form, told his tale of misery to many, closing it with the modest request cm va ma the half of a shilling,'' and without . in many cases, exciting even so much as an answer from, the one so appealed to. Men passed him that held their thousands in coin, banks and stocks,. but few of whom, shame be it said, could hear his-pitiless appeal for "half of a shilling," whereby hunger could be kept from the throats, and misery from the door of seven human beings. . - ' There was a time when, such a thing as a beggar was unknown in any southern city. The war has with other changes brought these about also, but there is no reason why hearts and heads should be changed. If these, facts had been known five years ago, how many would have seen these people long before one of them was to be found upon the streets asking alms of the passerby? Poor little creature he will not beg charity at the door-step a much longer time. Disease and famine are fast eating away his system. .He is not to be much longer a tax but will soon lay his bones in the pauper's grave, and his spirit will wing its flight to a land where the "wicked cease their troubling and the weary are at .rest,'.' and ' where want and misery are both strangers in the land.

Betts. The constable not being aware that he would attempt to escape, walked away from the prisoner a short distance to get a glass of water, when seeing the opportunity afforded him he fled down the street as fast as his legs would permit. Constable Allen put out after him and here was the chase. For. awhile the darkey thief held the advantage, but good speed and a firm resolution overtook the rascal after a long chase, and he once again occupied his original position under the wings of the law. Without further attempt at giving bond, he was carried before the justice, who sent him to the provost marshal with a request that he be confined, the county jail being in the milita ry hands as yet; The request was readily ac ceded to, and the wouldsbe fugitive from the law now enjoys a large shaie of its favors. Two other cases were before the justice yes terday, one of which was settled by the parties and the other postponed until next week. Supply thk Nkxdt. There are quite a num ber of persons belonging to the city, both white and blacx, in the small pox hospital near here, and who are in great need of clothing many of them are found in the greatest destitution.

They are doing their duty by them in furnishing medicine and medical aid.

Garments of any kind, and anything else, suitable around a sick bed, will be received. There are both colors and sexes under, treatment there and all cat contribute. An vthinr left at the office of the mayor will be immediately attended to by the mayor himself. . Rain Ykstxed at.

As stated on torday, Aquia Creek, Va.. came near being the scene of a bloody affair a few days ago, but fortunately the plans of the aisoraeiiy parties were aiscovered in time, and all those concerned in the plot were put under arrest. . The Washington Star has the following additional particulars : Since the railroad from Richmond to Aauia Creek has been placed in charge of the owners. the company has been repairing that portion lying between the Potomac andi Fredericks burg, the route.being used, meanwhile by coaches connecting the boat Keyport running LETTERS FITOTI THE IlIIIOP8 from this city, wjth that portion of the road OF ALABAMA AXD MISSIS in running order.

The latter, it is said, have had very bitter and vindictive feelings towards the whites, but there has been no open outbreak. The whites have been latterly on their truard. apprehensive of trouble, but finally becan to suppose that their fears were unfounded. . luesday night one of the colored men let out the secret, informing them that they (the blacks) had formed a compact to murder a 1 the. whites at the place, and had for the Durcose collected pistols, knives, hatchets &c. which. at a preconcerted signal, they were to seize during the nighty and each ono rush and dis- patch his victim. The informant gave the names of the principals and other details, and also told where the, arms were. rhe blacks outnumbering by considerable the whites, the latter sent to Stafford Court House and informed the commandant of the military of the matter, and on Wednesday a sufficient force was sent down to capture th plotters. . Some of the blacks attempted to re sist, ana iought desperately, and in the melee iu securing mem one oi mem, we near, was killed outright, j and two or three received bayonet wounds. J The military tookfn custo- dy fort J or fifty iof the blacks; ana inarched them off to a place of security, and also gath ered up the motly collection of deadly imple -ments, which were found in the places de scribed by the informant. There was considerable excitement durinc the time intervening between the discovery of the plot and the arrival of the military, and preparations were made by the few whites, in case the negroes attempted to put their plans in execution, to give them a warm reception. The clerk in charge of the commis sary stores, packed them on a barge, "and nushed out into the stream, but this was the blacks were not done so auietly that .

' r ' Dsar BaETBRK.vIn" a pastoral letter ad .dressed to you seme time since I requested you in your public services to use a certain " prayer for all in authority," in place of tnat ox like character contained in tne hPraver Book. My reason for so doing was founded, not so much on my objection to the langusge of the old prayer,which objections I thenpoio- ted out . nnnm Aemrm nr, w nart m gert the rights of the church, to rezulate her worshin in entire indnend civil or military authoritv. 1 It is known that in several of our dioceses. where force of arms had prevailed, some of our churches had been closed and their minis-. tera banished, because a certain prayer was omitted in the daily service, notwithstanding its omission had been ordered by the highest ecclesiastical authority: known in th6o dio ceses. Fearing, lest upon the change of our political condition, a like interference might be attempted in this diocese, I felt it my duty to BQt forth, in advance, the course of action which in such cases, it waa proper for you to pursue. v . ; ' I accordingly reminded you that in all matters of worsts p you are amenable to no authority but that of your ecclesiastical supe. riors ; and that it was your duty to resist, in eyery becoming manner, the least interference with your relgioes .duties, from wbatevea quarter it might- come. At the satno time, in order to tdjow that as gool churchmen, we acknowledge the rule ot those whom Provi dence has placed over us; I proposed for your use a prayer, embracing in its intercessions all stations and degrees of men intlre ted in thifgovernment of our country, This prayer , as I then intimated, was to be used only till further developments should bo made In our political condition, or aa order of our Gene ral Council should call for a return to the old prayer. " 1 Being now convinced that the military au thority at present over us has no dispositioa . to interfere with our services, and wishing to conform, as far as may be, with the worship of our brethren in nnfe Northern dioceses, I now request that so soon as military rule ' may cease to be exercised over us, and our State go ernxnents shall be re-established iq A the exercise of their constitutional rights, you' will use the prayer for the "President of the United States and all in civil authority' as pruiuti tn iu iinjoi wva. ivuttj mil prayer at present would bo equivalent to wishiBg the success and continuance of a . domination which, even in its mildest forms, ' is repugnant to the spirit of any republican people. " I vrill take occwion here to replr as well as I can, to a question which has teen fro quently asked of me since the late reverse in our political affairs: " Vill Jhe Southern ChSrch return to its iormer connection with our Northern baethren ; .'or will she retain' her present re-organuation 1 u No satisfactory answer can be given to this question until the meeting of our next General Council. But for my own part, I hesitate not to say, that : my decided preference is to remain as we are, two separate and independent organiiations. , Whilst each would have thus its own le'gi latii e body, independent of the "other, loth might, by a mutual exercise of brotherly love, by a frequent interchange of good offices, by a partial representation in each other's .coun cils, as well as by the possession of a like doctrine, discipline and worship, show to the werld that we are still one church. This I am persuaded, would be the surest ,means of promoting unity and brotherly lovo between us.
