In Lhe Supreme Court this morning, at ten o'clock, before Chief Justice Lowrie, the ease of Commonwealth vs. Frowenfeld et. al , indicted for conspiracy to defraud the State in the manufacture of army clothing, will be called up. The Common. wealth will, we presume, ask for a further continuance, Sylvester W. Murphy, their principal witness, by reason of whose ab. sence a continuance for two weeks was granted, not having :returned last night from the remarks of the Court upon the day when'the continuance until next term was asked for, it is probable that an immediate trial will be urged and as the prosecuting counsel admit that they cannot make out their case without Murphy, the only course left fot them is to enter a nate piosegui and make an effort to have a new indict ment framed by the next Grand Jury.— However, "we,know not what a day may bring forth;" it is barely possible that the absent witness may be in attendance this morning, as every exertion is being used to have him here. We shall see the re suit, which will be anxiously looked for by the community. 'HIC Waicambo Taarrons.—The offi cars who took Burrows and Patch, arrested here bn Thursday, to 'Wheeling, returned on Friday night. They state that the prisoners were at once sent by the authoriA ties to Camp Carlile and placed, with other prisoners, under a strong guard. T e charge against them is treason, and the 'specific act making large daggers for the use of the rebels, Burrows, a blachamith, 'fashioned rude blades from old files, while Patch fitted handles to them. When fin. fished these are rude, but formidable wea pons. One of them said they were to be used "in cutting the heath off atolition. istar These men will probably be tried at the present term of the United States Court for the Was tern District of Virginia, and as the offence is a most aggravated one it may go hard with them. A SAD PABIL—On Friday afternoon a boy about thirteen years old, named Alford, was found on Grant street, insensi bly'drunk. He was taken to the Mayor's office, where he remained in a comatose state, until Saturday morning, when he reedirered so as to be able to converse. It appetite that Alford and a companion named Hardy purchased a pint of whisky in Bliminghsm, where they reside, by re preteititing it was wanted to make camphor; they drank the liquor and came to this side, when Alford separated from his com panion. A warrant has been issued for the man who sold . the liquor. Ma. H. C. KAMPELL, who, we stated on Saturday, had declined to run for As sembly on the Union ticket, desires us to say that the request was framed in view of ,his being a candidate, independent of =either the Union or Republican tickets, against Mr. S. Loew, one of the candidates on the latter. M.r.*Mackrell declined, for the reasons stated in his published card; and, though an ardent Union man, would probably have made the same reply if soli cited to be a candidate upon any other ticket. DEATH IN JAIL-INQUEST. —At about five o'clock on Saturday morning Thomas Ryan, committed for drunkenness, by Mayor Drum, on Friday morning, died in thO county jail. He was mach debilitated by excessive drinking when committed, and.thongh every attention was given him, died In kW cell in the presence of his at tendants.

PITTeIiCRCIII ANL , THER NEW PLAT —"Tile Patriot's Dream; or, America's Past, Present and Future," is the title of a new play, which, after long and careful preparation, will be produced for the first time at the Theatre this evening. The piece is well adapted to the times and must be popular. Entire new scenery has been prepared for it, and a host of auxiliaries employed to assist in the battle scene 3. Among the thrilling scenes it represents are the Signing of the Declaration, the Bombardment of Sumter, Death of Ellsworth, Battle of Bull Run,' Gallant Charge of the 19th, &c , closing with the storming of a rebeLmasked battery at Manassas. The piece is well written, has a good plot and contains some good bits, including one at Russell of the iondon Times. Manager Henderson has been at groat pains and expense in producing this piece,.for the privilege of which he pays $lOO and we hope to see him rewarded by full houses while it is on the boards.

LATEST_ BY TELEGRAPH Washiesgtou l lily Newalf -- - WASEIINuTuN (ITT, Sept. I ' l ,—The ad. venue of a large rrconnoitering force of Confederate troops in the neighborhood of Ball's Cross lt.ads and the destruction of the property of known Union Men were renewed this morning. They drove - in our pickets to within half a mile of the roads so as to get possession of a house occupied by a colored man ; named Lorn Bennett, which they burnt to the ground. Bennett and his wife were captured two weeks ago and taken South. The names of those who have suffered by the torch of the enemy are Bas I Hall, whose house is located a mile and quarter to the right of the Cross Reath; everything personally belonging to him was destroyed excepting six cows, which our troops suc ceeded in bringing away this morning. His loss is $6,000. This was the house alternate.. ly occupied by the Confederate pickets and our own. Mr. Hall says he previously suffered much from the destruction of his furniture by the members of the De Kalb, New York Regiment, for which he has made out a bill of damages against the government. Mr. Whipple and Thomas and Samuel Burch also suffered by fire. the conflagration being extended to all known Union men. The dwelling ri Hon. C. H. Upton, near Falls Church, was spared, as the Confederates occupy it and have a large force in that vicinity. The position of affairs at Munson's Hill re:nal' s unchanged. No large force is visible Irvin this side of the intrench. ment.s. In a skirmish last night near Ball's Cross Roads, it is feared that a lieutenant in the Third Vermont regiment and three privates in the Ninth Massachusetts regi ment, whose names could not be ascertain ed, were taken prisoners, as they are miss ing One of our men was wounded. Front a prominent position of the Vir• glina side of the river to day a douse col umn of =woke was seem in the direction of Fairfax Court House. The Confederates were evidently burning the woods in that direction around their fortifications. Nearly all the regiments in the neigh. borhood of Arlirgton Heights and Chain Bridge were out under arms during all lent night.

This schooner was ealleu the "Charles McCl.es when she cleared at Newborn, N. C , two days be. lore the blockade went into eff_ct on this coast. She took a cargo of spirits of tor. pentane to the West Indies and at Char leston.

Crosby, so we may be authorized to enter the port most accessible at this stormy pe riod of the year, I send all the papers found on board the prize, in charge of Lieut Crosby to be handed to the proper admiralty officer, and Capt. Ireland and four of the crew I shall detain for the present, two passengers believed to he the supercargoes and also the mate. When this duty is completed, I have to request that Lieut. Crosby may be permitted tore. turn to his important duties at this place as Post Captain, under the order of Gen eral Wool. I send Capt. Crosby on board of the prize, because he is an important witness of what occurred after we boarded the schooner. This Wesel like the three already captured stood in under the belief that the forts wore still in the hands of the enemy. The Pawnee showing no colors was taken for an English cruiser, and they were not boarded until inside the bar. We are beginning to see signs of the enemy on the Southwestern side of the entrance where it is believed a picket guard fre. quanta to watch our movements. 1 enclose a letter found among the papers of the so called "Susan Jane," which may give the department some idea of the policy in Nava Scotia.

Young's Cavalry, under Captain White, arrested three spies yesterday, near Port Tobacco, Maryland, end brought them to Washington. On their persons was found topography and other information designed for their trans• mission to the enemy, from that neighbor. hood so contiguous to the Virginia shore, and of the advantages of which the soma. sionista have long availed themselves. F. W. Walker, of Brooklyn, Washing.. ton correspondent of the New York E. press went thither, on Friday afternoon, with a detachment of Young's Cavalry on a scouting tour, and aided by a guard of two soldiers captured an active secessionist who was placed in confinement at a house near by the place of arrest, the guard have ing necessarily to absent themselves from the premises to attend to their horses and other business. The prisoner, while Walker was taking minutes of the convex.: cation with him, suddenly drew his knife and plunged it into the letters bowels, and rushing from the house, made his escape before one of the guards, who was outside, could have a fair shot at him. The neigh.. borhood was afterwards searched for the fugitive, but without success; the pursuit is not, hewever, abandoned. Walker is lying in a dangerous condition and recoil?. ing proper attention.

War Gen John C Fremont: SlR—Yours of the Bth, in answer to mine of the 2d instant, is just received.— Assuming that you, upon the ground, could better judge oi the necessities of your position than I could at this distance, on seeing your proclamation of August 30th, I perceived no general objection to it. The particular clause, however, in relation to the confiscation of property and the libera. Lion of slaves, appeared to me to be objec tionable,in its nonconformity l.c) the act of Congress pa'scd the 6th of last August, upon the same subject, and hence 1 wrote you expressing my wish that the clause should be modified accordingly. Your answer, just received, expresses the preference on your part that I should make an open order for the modification, which I very cheerfully do. It is, there• fore, ordered that the said clause of said proclamation be so modified, held and constructed as to conform and not to trans,- cend the provisions on the same subject contained in the act of Congress, entitled "an act to confiscate property used for in. surrectionary purposes," approved August 6th, 1861; and that said act be published at length with this order. Your obedient servant, [Signed.] ABRAILNAI LINCOLN. Newsfr om Jefferson City, JENFILBSON CITY, Sept. 14. The cor respondent of the St. Louis Democrat fur nished the following intelligence : A mes senger from Colonel Mulligan at Lexing.. ton, reports General Price's advance guard reached Warrensburg on Tuesday, and Claib Jackson made a speech. Price claims to have 18,000 men and his main body approaching Lexington. This messenger Lrings an official account of a skirmish between the rebels and General Lane's forces, dated Furt Bledsoe, near Fort Scott, September 4th, the substance of which is as follows : He says : Immedi ately after leaving Springfield he detached General Raines' to clear the counties bor dering on Kansas of the marauding bands which had been devastating that section of the country. That he himself advanced to Baines' assistance, end their combined force encountered at B:g Dry Wood Creek, the forces under Lane, Montgomery and .ten. nison, end after a brisk skirmish of an hour and a quarter, the Federal troops ra. treated and were pursued by his forces about three miles. He states his loss at three killed and twenty seven wounded, and says, they buried three of Lane's men. He concludes by saying that the enemy have continued to retreat northward from Fort Scott, which post they have abandon ed, and adds, this relea,ves me of the new cessity of pursuing them into Kansas, the soil of which I am unwilling to invade un less her citizens shall provoke me to do so by committing renewed outrages on the peon ple of the State In that event, I shall not only cross the border, but will lay waste their farms and utterly destroy their cities and towns of that State. This correspon dent adds : While this shows that there has been some skirmishing on the border it does not prove that the rebels have gain ed any advantage, but on the contrary, it would appear that they have found a force too strong for them, giving up their plan of advancing into Kansas, and turned upon the weaker force at Lexington. ' Their de sign now is evidently diet to take Lexing• ton and then bring Clark Jackson here. The Steanothip Kangaroo off Cape Bace. tiT JoIINS, N. F., Sept. 14 The steam ship Kangaroo from Liverpool on the 4th, via Queenstown on the Pith inst , passed off Cape Race this afvrnoon. The political news is unimpQrtant. England was about to send three more regiments forthwith to Canada. Spies in the employ of the government at Washington, are said to be on board all the transatlantic steamers Another terrible Railroad accident oc curred near London, by which 13 persona were killed and 50 wounded. GllltaT BRITAIN —The three regiments for Canada, start about the middle of Sep tember in the steamer Great Eastern, which subsequently goes to New York as advertised. The London Times in an edi torial says, that the government may have private reasons for the movement, but that there is none apparent. If it is a purely defensive movement and a mere declara tion of identity between England and Cana da, it hopes Canada will not take it for more than it means, but hold herself ready if it should be needful to protect herself, It is regarded as a wise guarantee against all complications, and calculated to strengthen her intercourse. The Times in another editorial says that the great question with capitalists is this : How will Americans endure the burdens of taxation to which they are as yet strangers?
