We our cotemporerlea 1 that the story Is mnre than true. We have I since seen anil heard a great deal more of! this fellow Fav and his with snakes. He will capture a given number of snakes as readily an one would find a given number of oiiouows in the creek along whose hanks the fellow resides, and he will bite iheir raits off with no morn concern than ho would in biting off a chew ot dog leg tobaceo. It is known that he has bitten the heads off at least one or two hundred suaket at Afferent times during the present spring. An we said before he has hut one or two teeth in his upper jaw, and he is compelled to chew and tear the heads ia separate them from the bodies, the repainting alive nud squirming horribly.

the snakes which be delights to species known as house adders, which he finds in old hay and straw stacks. There is something the expression of Kay's in his eyes, which is suggestive of something snaky a something which we cannol describe. He reminds us ot Holmes' Elsie Venner. His eyes ase small, black, liquid and restless. Another peculiarity about the fellow Is that the dogs are all afraid of him or else exercises gome charm upon the UK 9" species, lie will go into a yard or bouso In the middle of the night, unloose the most ferocious dog and kick him bowling into the street.

He has done this repeatedly with very savage dogs iu the neighborhood, which no person, other than those with whom the dogs are acquainted, dare approach. First Vmoisn Rboimkst? SniELD's Theodore Oorrell returned yesterday from Fredericksbnrgb. fa. Ha left the Catnp of the First Virginia ftpgimout near that placn on Sunday last.

Mr. Gorrell inarched with the division from Front Royal to Fredericksburg, and be describes it as a pretty hard march particularly npnn fences aud feet. says tbat when the division went into Camp at night they would wipe out a mile or 90 of fencing almost as quick as one would wipe out a chalk mark wilh a wet sponge. The men burned rails almost exclusively, for cooking and for buildiug huts.

When the division reached Fredericksburg, tbey were ragged and fout sore and presented a sad contrast with the well dressed and well "(nipped army of Geu. McDowell. were almost immediately supplied with new guns and new clothing. The Virginians had set Ihe.r hearts upon going to Richmond, and the order to turn back was received with many nintterlngs and complaints. i The troops were again brigaded at Fredericksburg and the First Yirgiuia Infantry, the greater part of the First Virgioia Cavalry and battery were placed in the brigade commanded by Uol.

Carroll, of Ohio. When Mr. Gorrell left Fredericksburg the army of Gen. McDowell were crossing the Rappahanock river, which is there a half a mile wide, upon pontoon brijgas constructed near where the old bridges wire destroyed. The First Virginia Regiment now baa S40 effective men.

The balance are In the hospitals, except the few who are in their graves or have been discharged. Baltimore A Ohio R. has not yet been ascertained whether the rebels have done any considerable damage to the Baltimore Ohio Railroad, in the vicinity of Martinsbnrg. The road is all right as far as Back Creek, where a bridge is damaged, but beyond that point as far as Halltown nothing Is known. From the movements, however, now on loot, there Is resson to believe that trains will be running through from this point to Baltimore in a few days.

The Srmoa Hospital. There are now about one hnndred patients In this hospital, most of whom are afflicted with chronic diseases, and are able to walk about. The hospital ia now in charge of Dr. W. F.

The Hew State in WAtfumoTOK, May the to-day, MtvJVilley. ok called op the memorial of the Legislature of Virginia with reference to a division of that State, and requesting the Senators and Representatives to use their influence to secure the admission of the new State of West Vir- ginia. He referred to the manner in which the allcgiance or' the State wits transferred to the rebellion by a secret conclave and without consulting the people of Northwestern Virginia, who remained loyal to the Uoion, and had formed a State government in order that tbey might be disconnected with the rebels. Mr.

Willey claimed that this proposed division of the State was no new thing, bnt bad been frequently urged by the people of the State. Reason nud justice were both in favor of the new State. There was a sufficieut number of inhabitants, and Western Virginia was completely divided from the Kastern half by the Alleghany Mountains. Nature seems to have divided the two. Commerce and industry both demand separation.

There has never beea but little cominer-. cial intercourse between West and East Virgiuia. The difference of social institutions and habits both indicate separation. Slavery cannot exist in Western Virginia, and why should the people of that sectiou be subjected to a system of laws calculated for the slavery which exists in Eastern Virginia. Its geographical position, its climate, its natural productions, and the moral and religious sentiments of the people absolutely forbid the existence of slavery in West Virginia.

He contended that the proposed State was rich in raiueral and other resources and would make a wealthy and prosperous State. The memorial was referred to the Committee on Territories. From WashingtonWashington, May John Dean, presented to the Circuit Court, the petition of Daniel Breed for a writ of habeas corpus to Marshal Lemon, for the discharge of a colored man claimed by a citizen of Maryland as his slave, on the ground that the alleged fugitive is illegally I detained, and the restraint and Imprisonment is not authorized by the fugitive slave law of 1850. In other that the law does not apply to the District of Columbia. Mr Dean to-day continued his argument to show show that the writ could not be refused.

I The Court had previously intimated that they would not grant the prayer, and today said that an appeal could be taken to the Supreme Court of the United States, on the refusal as well as on the writ itself. Further argument will be heard to-morrow. The Fugitive Slave Law continues to be enforced During the month about fifty slaves have been returned to claimants. LAST CONGRESSIONAL. UOOSE.

SENATE. The tax bill was taken up, the question being on Mr. Henderson's amendment that the proposed tax on slaves shall not be levied in any State which has adopted a system of gradual emancipation. The amendment was rejected. Mr.

Pessenden offered an amendment to reduce the proposed tax on slaves from $5 to $2, as being sufficiently high in the present condition ot affairs. After a lengthy disousaion, Mr. Sumner's amendment to tax slaves was rejected. Yeas 14, nays 23. After an Executive session the Senate adjourned.

i. -im From "WashingtonWashington, May member of the Cabinet, and it is believed every earnest friend of the Government here, deplores the hasty censures visited upon the War Department by some of the loyal papers in the country. It has been already stated by Mr. Wilson, in the Senate, npon the highest authority, that the disposition of our forces, wnich is censured, was sanctioned by the President, and it is equally true that it was approved by the whole Administration. Successes sacb as the country did not anticipate, have already iattended Mr.

The leading article in tbe Richmond Enquirer, of Saturday, was in tho following language: "We are now looking to Qen. Johnson with great interest and not without noma solicitude. He has just beautifully executed some very judicious retreats. We now anxious loses him display the more positive qualities of a military commander. The time has come when retreat is no longer strategy or must therefore give place to battle.

We have no Idea that Johnson contemplates a retreat. We ore perfectly satisfied that he does not. We verily believe that if he did contemplate it be would Gnd himself unable to execnto it. The temper of the army would deny it. Tbe men are weary or toilseme and de- structive marched and the privatioos necessarily attending them.

Tbey almost clamor to be led against tbe enemy. "Tbe march from Manassas and then from Rapidan and next from Williamflborg, thinned oar ranks more than as many bat- ties wonld have done. The campaign has ripened for the battle and the battle is at hand. What we need now at the liead of tbe army is the clarion will, and tbe buttle shall be bold and enthusiastic." The leader of the sapoe paper complains of tbe high price of provisions, and calls upon tbe farmers to bring to their vegetables. A great number of officers and soldiers are now absent upon pretense of bei ng sick, from tbeir regiments, idling away their time in tbe Northern towns and cities.

The army is on tbe eve of a decisive battle, when every man should be at his post. Let tho citizens ask of such persons tbe cause of tbeir absence from the army of tbe Polomac, and if the reason he not satisfactory, show them as unworthy associates and i disgrace to tho uniform they appear in.

The enemy contested his ground hotly at point, but whs driven back with considcrable loss, Pope's column enconntered the strongest opposition where we lost twenty- i five killed and wounded.

The enemy 'eft thirty dead on the field. We captured some five or six officers and several pri? vates.
