MENTALLY.—The fearful effects on the mind are much
to be dreaded—loss of memory, contusion of ideas, de.

Who have injured themselves by a certain practice in
dulged iu when alone, a habit frequently learned from
evil companions, or at school, the effects .which are
nightly felt, oven when asleep, and if not cured renders
marriage impossible, and destroys both mind and body,
should apply immediately.
What a pity that a young man, the hopeof his country,
the darling of his parents; should be snatched from all

Mcirton's, RaCCoori and Barnett's—the last
about three milesirom - Orange Court House,
and thd others lower down the river. At two
of the fords, Morton's and Barnett's, the enemy
was repulsed and driven. across `the river. At
last 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 THREATMVED BY
THE-. Errori , --Tii. YANRFFS IN LARGE FORCE
AT TALIMYST , Txv.
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 Richmond. The report
obtained consistency from a - number of cir
cumstances, and impressed the authorities to
such a degree tat a disposition of forces Was
made to anticipate the supposed designs of the
enemy.
At nine o'clock Saturday night a force of
the enemy, numbers not known, but consist
ing. of cavalry, with some arttllery, made a
demonstration at Bottom's Bridge, and 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 se
cond 'class militia andlhe local forces in Cap
itol Square, and at otherplaces of rendezvous.
A dispatch was also received earlyyesterday
morning from General Wade Hampton, 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
Most wild and extravagant rumors, the enu
meration of which would be idle and tedious.
In the progress of the day these reports as
sinned a more definite form. It appeared that
the enemy made another demonstration on
Colonel Slangier's lines yesterday morning,
and in.this instance were repulsed,• some two
or, three companica being engaged on our
aide.
The forge of the.ene:my *US not uneovered,
but as far as it could-be perceiited,-consisted
of five regiments, mostly cavalry ; it being doubt
fel, of corirse, whether they were only, art ad
vane° guard or the entire force.
It \Vas not thought'necessary yesterday to
move the local forces beyond the cityfortitica
tions; and the disposition of other troops was
made to, hold the enemy in check.
'Lieutenant-General Hood was assigned to
the command of all the defensive force.s, and
took the field at an early.hour yesterday.
• LATER.
After their demonstration in the morning
at Bottom's Bridge,: the enemy, or a consider,
able detaChment of his cavalry, crossed the
York river railroad near Dispatch station, and'
attempted to ford the ChibkahOminy at Grape
vine bridge, evidently intending to get in our
rear. They found it impossilileAo ford the.
Chioliahominy here, on account of the large
.amonnt of felled timber in theywamP. After;
an ineffectual attempt' to get through the
swamp they retired in the direction of Tay
lorsville, which is about• eight miles. from
Bottoin's bridge.
At a late hour yesterday afternoon informa
tion was brought in by our scouts that a large
force of the enemy, yi.l4eXhad .been massed
at Barkainsvile iu the morning, b ntoed)
forward to Talleysiille,.andAyas then advanc
ing. The entire fin:ce of enemy is dis
tinctly stated as foltoWs: Three brigadeS of
infantry, .four regiments of cavalryead twelve
pieces of artillery. This is reliable.
It is probable that the demonstration of_the
enemy yesterday was ' merely . intenderas a
reconnoissance; and - isprelimmary to an
,im
portant collision to-day. Certainly the enemy
has come in numbers which preclude •the
idea that he only meditates a raid. •
WC have no report of any casualtiesiii the
fire at Bottorn's'Bridge: . 'lint - it is supposed
that we.used our. artillery with effect. After
the enemy abandoned his position there were
found nine dead horses, six Yankee caps and
a fresh grAve.

DISCOVERY OF AA tT.T.rGEO- PLOT TO LIBERATE
Tan 'PRISONERS AND iss.s.s , ax.trr. nis PRESI
DILNT—ARREST OF TAE 11'r1c:LE IDEES AND
srazurin OF DomaLNTs.
For several days past the Government has
been in possession of facts that hinted, be
yond a doubt, to the existence of a secret or
ganization of disloyal . men, having for its oh
-jeett„he foraible"release of the - Yankee prison
ers, held atr, the Libby and on Belle Isle, the
assassination of the President, and the de
strucifon of dr gowrigtent buildings and
workshops foCated here.
Captain XLicctibbin, chief of the detective
corps, was assigned the duty of penetrating
the mysteries of the case, and threading the
details through the labyrinths of rumor to
their head and source.
- That official put the matter into the hands
of two of his most experienced detectives,
Messrs. Reese and Mitchell, who immediately
set to work, and on Saturday night they ar
rested, at his house on. Seventeenth street,
betiveen Main and Franklin streets, a German
named A. W. ileinz, a baker, upon the charge
of being a prominent member of. the treason
able 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 pipers, includ
ing the roll. f membership of the organiza
tion, and . doduments of such's character as to
leave no doubt of his crime, and the criminal
ity of others.
The documents were taken possession of
yesterday by Genend Winder, who ordered
Heinz to be placed in secure quarters at Castle
Thunder, and to allow him no communication
whatever with any outside parties.
Heinz, the reputed ringleader, has always
been lboked upon as a disloyal man, and his
associatesin treason are all pretty much of his
own 'character and social standing.
It is possible that other arrests will follow,
as the treason will be probed to its depth, no
matter whom it affects.
