JiklnwrmT | MONDAY.. AUGUJT 1, 1S70. THE CIRCULATION OF THE DISPATCH IS LARGKR T1IA.V THE COMBINED CIRCULATION OF ALL THE OTHER DAILY i NEWKPAPJQliS OF THE CITY. How Kirk Rcftucdl fo Allow Write of Habeas Corpus to bo Served upon Him. From the Danville Timc3. On Tuesday last Colonel (George "Williamson, a citizen of Caswell, in company with Mr. E. M. Paco, of Danville, lelt Danville, having nineteen write of habeas corpus from the Supreme Court of North Carolina to serve on ColoneJ Kirk. Having remained that night al Vlolonel Williamson's, they made t iieir appearance at Yanceyville the next morning about 8 o'clock. Tliey asked permi ssion to see Colonel Kirk. The adjutant c^me out. inquiring their business and o*mes. Colonel Williamson replied, he 'jtesired to see Colonel Kirk to deliver so? jne documents. The adjutant having seen Colonel Kirk, informed them that he could not be seen in less than half an hour. They tfeon went over to Norfleet's store, remained a short time, and went hack. The adjutant told them if they had documents for the Cotancl, to seal them, and he would deliver them himself. Colonel Williamson replied, the documents were of such a nature as to require him to see Colorrcl Kirk personally. The adjutant theli went to Kirk's room, and remain**)# an hour Colonel Williamson -and Mr. Pace left. In the mean time they visited the camp of the U??ted States soldiers. When they returned 'On the street Colonel Williamson went to the court-house gate, when the Major came out. Colonel Williamson asked hto?>. how long it would be before he could get a hearing before Colonel Kirk. The Major went in, and on his return demanded to know their business. Colonel Williamson replied that he had writs of habeas corpus to serve on him. The Major, v.ftcr seeing Kirk, returned with the reply from him that he wished to have no comrounication or conversation vyitti midnigb'c assassins. Colonel Williamson rep'.ied that they were not midnight as'<a?sins, that he was a peaceable, law-abi'jLtig citizen of the county. . The Major turned his back, and they went across to Norfleet's store. During that time the drums beat and the soldiers eomnie* jced getting under arms. Messrs. "W illi? iwson and Pace moved to a large tree fr onting the court-house. Colonel Kirk .nadc his appearance at the window, standing by one of the prisoners. As soon as he saw him, Colonel Williamson started across the street with writs in his hand. Kirk drew back. Colonel Williamson then re- j turned to the tree, whereupon a company of soldiers marched out of t he gate towards them, came half-way, halted, about faced, and returned. Kirk* then appeared on the lower porch. Immediately six men and a noncommissioned oflicer armed, under charge of the Major, advanced on Colonel Williamson and Mr. Pace. Getting within five paces, they halted and remarked, 4< This caucusing must 1 be broken up. If you have homes so to them ; if you do riot 1 am ordered by Colonel Kirk to fire into you." Mr. Pace replied, " If caucusing is' what vou want to break up we will separate. Colonel! Williams on remarked that he was there upon a peaceful mission, armed as he was ! w' it'.y uuthority from the Chief Justice of th<> State, and that he did not intend to leave. The Major replied, u My orders are positive and you must leave." Seeing there was no possible chance to serve the writs without being shot, Colonel j Williamson and Mr. Pace left : and they deserve great credit for the faithful manner in which they discharged their whole duty.

The Rights of the Rebels- Consequences or Joining the Confederate Army. In the case of William H. Harper and Benjamin F. Bradley against David J. Ely and other's a very interesting decision was rendered by Judge Williams. The Court said that a person possessing the equity right of redemption cannot set up as an excuse for not having redeemed within the stipulated period, the fact that he resided in a southern State, and that communication with the north was cut off by a state of war ; if it appeared also that he went south voluntarily, and of his own tree will entered the southern service, and gave aid and comfort to the enemy. This decision will be regarded with considerable interest, for there is a large amount of property in this city, the title to which is contested on similar grounds. The property involved in the present suit is situated on Clark street between Harrison and Polk streets, having a frontage of 123 feet on each of the three streets. It extends in depth to Griswold street, and is now valued at from $100, 000 to $150,000. -Chicago Tribune, July 27. Toe Not tub Author or the Raven.? Mr. J. Shaver, of Burlington. N. J., writes as follows to a gentleman of New Orleans : " This place is just now atttracting a great deal of attention from antiquarians and litterateurs generally on account of a discovery lately made by me. I happened to notice in LitteVs Living Age, of January 8th last, page lOo, the following paragraph ; " 'It has just come to light that in an old barn in one of the villages of New Jersey is a valuable collection of books and manuscripts, formerly forming a part of the library of Mahlon Dickerson, an American statesman. They are all in possession of the rats, and of a man who will not let them be touched because of some family quarrel about property.' " Having often heard that such documents existed iu Burlington, and were in the hands of Mr. John T. Tompkins, I requested and obtaiued permission to examine them, and among them found and copied a portion of a letter from Edgar A. Poe to AI.r. Daniels, of Philadelphia, dated Richmond, September 20, 1840, in which an admission is made that will, to a certain extent, upset that person's claim to the authorship of the i Raven.' I could not make out all of the writing on account of its age and neglected condition, but what I could decipher was in these words : *(< Shortly before the death of our good friend, Samuel Fenwick, he sent to me from New York for publication a most beautiful and thrilling poem, which he called the ' Raven,' wishing me, before printing it, to 4 seo if it had merit,' and to make any alterations that might appear necessary. So perfect was it in ail its parts that the slightest improvement seemed to me impossible. But you know a person very often depreciates his own talents, and he even went so Cur as to suggest that iu this instance, or in any future pieces he might contribute, I should revise and print them in mv own name to insure their circulation. This proposal 1 rejected, of course, and one way or other delayed printing the * Raven ' until, as you know, it came out in the Review, and . It was published when I was, unfortunately, intoxicated ; and, not knowing what 1 did, I signed my name to it, and thus it went to the printer and was published. " < The sensation it produced made me dishonest enough to conceal the name of the real author, who had died, as you know, some time before it came out, and by that means I now enjoy all the credit and applause myself. 1 simply make this statement to you for the . I ehali probably go to ISew York to-morrow, but will be back by October 12, I think.' "

This kind of stealing is worse than Butler's mode of getting spoons. Poe was a southern man, and so a Yankee must rob him of his laurels. JBut the vile attempt will fail, Poe's peculiarities are so marked that his poems can easily be identified. No one else could have written The Haven. Perhaps Mr. J. Shaver would favor us with some poems of Samuel Fen wick's which in- . dicates his ability to have composed The Raven* One of Holders detectives decoved Mr. 1 1 Gunn out of Danville into Jtforth jJaroiinu, to ordpr ?o him. ?

On Saturday afternoon the police authorities of Richmond received a letter from a person in Georgia giving a full account of a mvs?ferious murder committed in this city during the war, with the names of the parties implicated, and proofs which, having been placed in the hands of the detectives, will probably lead to important arrests. Hustings Court ? Judqe A. B. Ouigon. ? Pleasant Carter alias James Washington (colored), charged with stealing some whiskey on the 23d of the present month from George I. Herring & Co., was found not guilty. Soiitence of three years in the penitentiary was passed on John Gerhiser, found guilty of the murder of Franklin B. Hovey. "William Anderson was found guilty, and put in jail for ten days, and ordered to pay the costs, for having stolen two mahogany chairs worth S10. Bill Bonaparte being called to answer for having, on the IGtli of May, falsely registered as voter, was recognized in ?300 for his appearance at the next term. George W. Richardson, tried for having, on the ?>th of July, stole one box of cigars from Mrs. E. A. Davis, was sent to jail for ten days, and condemned to pay the costs. Henry Richardson was tried lor stealing eight pounds of bacon, valued at ?3, from James Scott, and sent to jail for sixty days with labor in the chain-gang. Watscy Hughes alias Susan Botts, was tried for stealing ?o.50 from Griffin Peyton on the 24tii of July, and was found by the jury not guilty. . Henry Bell and Thomas Lacey were arraigned for stealing a basket of clothes worth $15 from some person unknown. Hell pleaded guilty and was sunt to jail for six months. Lacey was held for trial. The court adjourned until September.

Police Court, Saturday ? J. J. White, ] Policc Justice, presiding. ? The case against I Hiram W. Tyler for violating the ordinance prohibiting the burial of dead bodies at any place other than a burving-ground owned by the city, was dismissed. Mary Jane Pureell, an old offender, was up anuin for the 999th time for b?-ing drunk and disorderly in the street, and fined $1 for being drunk and required to give security in the sum of $50 for her good behavior. "William Ifenry Thomas (negro) was called to answer a charge of feloniously entering the house of Louis Staude in the night time, with an eye to plunder. Case continued until Tuesday morning. Hannah B. Dixon (colored), for unlawfully and maliciously prosecuting Julia Mitchell (colored), w:is acquitted of that j charge, but required to give security In $50 to keep the peace. Catharine Cumber and Tishy Brown (colored), for abusing and threatening Mollie Smith. Katy was discharged and Tishy fined. Mary Robinson (colored), charged with assaulting and beating the child of Adeline Blair (colored), was fined $2. Sally Johnson (colored, about as big as a three-^cent piece,) tor stealing $1.50 from Joseph JLevenberg, was discharged with an admonition. Sally Stewart (colored), charged with stealing a blanket from a dark-skinned sister, was discharged. Elia "Williams, for being disorderly and; using profane language on the street, was fined $2. Daniel "Williams (colored), charged with committing a nuisance on a vacant lot at the corner of Twenty-first and Cary* streets, was fined $1 . Billy Hayes and General Hayes, charged with creating a riot on Ninth street and assaulting a policeman. Billy was fined ?1 for throwing stones in the street contrary to the provisions of a city ordinance, and the General was sent on to answer an indictment for assault and battery. The Freyfogle Perjury Case.? In the Hustings Court on Saturday General Wise moved lor a new trial in the case of Jacob Freyfogle, convicted at the present term of this court of illegal registration. Freyfogle, it will be remembered, has served one term in the penitentiary for maliciously cutting and stabbing a small boy. He served some part of his tune and was discharged by the military Governor, General Terry. He was told that he had the right, inasmuch as lie was a pardoned man, to register. This was at the gubernatorial election. Believing his light established, he registered again at the late election, but he did not vote. He .was brought into court under challenge from that notorious vagabond Ben Scott. Geueral Wise, therefore, asked not only a new trial, but that a nolle prosequi be entered in liis case. It was granted. Republican Meeting in Hanover. ? About twenty-five Republicans gathered at Hanover Courthouse on Saturday to appoint delegates to the convention to " be held in this city. Lewis Lindsay, Joe Cox, Davenport, and Graves, were on hand, the former denouncing, as usual, all opponents of Porter. Before the appointment of delegates a resolution (twenty members voting) was adopted, requiring the delegates to the convention to vote for Porter under any and all circumstances. The meeting then elected two colored men, and Graves and Dr. Noble, delegates.

Robbery.? On Friday night, during the rain, some enterprising individual, by means of a bidder, entered the garret of Mr. James E. Bridges, corner of Third and Cary streets, and carried off a lot of bacon. The thief, who, from the nature of tbe exploit, is supposed to be a "Kiting Son of Ilam,'' was frightened off, leaving the ladder behind him. Any one who has lost a ladder may probably hnd it at Mr. Bridges. Fancy Ball at the Red Sweet.? There will be a grand fancy ball at the lied Sweet Springs on Thursday uight next. This is a delightful place, and can be easily approached. Passengers can leave here by the Chesapeake and Ohio train on Wednesday, in the morning or evening, and reach the springs in time for the baLL It will be a charming affair, and we trust many of our people will go up. Ball at the Healing.? A graud ball will be given at the Healing Springs, Bath county, on Wednesday next the &f instant. It will be one of the linest affairs of the kind i this season. Unbailable Letters Remaining in the Richmond Post-Ofpice August I.? Messrs.

of Norfolk in aid of the new line of steamers on the James, returned with high hopes of success in their enterprise. The impression prevails that investments in the stock of the Merchants and Planters Steamboat Company will be profitable, and those who could subscribed liberally. Virginia HorticitraIi and Pomolooical Socibty. ? The regular monthly meeting of this Society will be held at their rooms tomorrow afternoon at 5 ^ o'clock. The subject of holding an exhibition of melons and the fruits and vegetables of the season will be considered. These displays of the finer varieties of fruits and vegetables in their season should form a feature of the Society, as it will stimulate their production. Hobse-BonNets.? We spoke of these very useful articles on Saturday, and now learn that Mr. George S. Stokes, of this city, was the inventor of the bonnet. The article will prove of <rreat advantage to horses exposed to the heat of the sun on the streets or on the farm. Mr. Stokes will apply for a patent to the United States Government, and in a short time all our horses can enjoy a cool shade. Fancy bonnets for carriage, horses will add much to the appearance of a fine turn-out. . * -??.?- One of Cavby's Appointees at Home.? The Binghamton (N. Y.) Leader thus speaks of Mr. Freeman, who was by General Canby's appointment for a while judge of the circuit court of Henrico : "L.
