nri. v- r .t
iiiu xemocrai or mis morning gives
an account of the capture of several se
cessiomsts at Toiosi and DeSota, Wash
mgton county, on Wednesday of this
week, by a company of U S soldiers sent
out from the Arsenal by Gen Lyon and
commanded by Capt Cole. Some Union
men had been driven out of Washington
county and their lives threatened by se
cesslbnists, therefore, Gen Lyon sent the
detachment of soldiers over to protect
tnem. I he company under Capt Cole
arrived at Potosi at 3 o'clock Wednesday
morning, and at once threw a detachment
of sentinels around the town; trnards were
then stationed around the dwellings of
the most prominent secessionists and
shortly after daylight some 150 men
formed themselves and were marched off
to the court house. Here the prisoners
were formed in line and by the assistance
of a gentleman, who had been driven out
of Potosi and who knew all the inhabi
tants of the place, the Union men were
recognized and released, amounting to
over half of thosp taken prisoners. Some
50 of the secessionists were also released
on parole of honor, after subscribing the
usual oath not to take up arms against the
U S, ard nine of the leaders were march
ed off to the cars. The Guard there
made a descent on a lead manufactory and
captured near 400 pigs which belonged
to a man who had been iurmshing lead to
the Southern army. The man's name is
John Dean and is now a prisoner at the
rsenal. It appears that Dean had been
in the habit of hauling the lead with his
own team to the Arkansas line and selling
to the secessionists for the Southern
army, ine Lrnara capturea several pist-
s, rifles, shot guns and a quantity of se
cession uniforms most of them unfinished
and some uniform cloth.
On their way ba'ck to St Louis Captain
Cole's company halted at DeSoto, Jeffer
son county, where there was to be a se
cession meeting and flag raised. Here
they found a company of cavalry drilling,
which seeing the U b troops immediate
ly fled leaving 30 horses, which were cap
tured by the troops and placed under
guard. The secession pole was soon made
to carry the stars and stripes at its top.
A flag of the Southern Confederacy found
in the town was captured, and then the
troops marched toward St Louis with their
prisoners and booty. The names of the
secessionists taken prisoner are John
Dean. W A Matthews. Stephen II Duuk-
in, Wm J Slater, G B Clark, Ed Wil
cughby, L W Casey, Patrick Doyle, N
Burke, editor Potosi mines, Ur wyatt
of Jefferson county, and D Smith, of Vic
toria. The secession meeting at Deboto
was to have been addressed by prominent
Southern Rights politicians from St Louis
and other places of the State
The Democrat also gives an account of
the manner in which E M Joel, Mail
Agent on the Pacific R R was served by
sothern rights men at Osage river on
Tuesday last. When the train stopped
Joel was taken to the river and thrown
in, he then swam ashore, but was again
thrown in and came near being drowned
but was finally taken out and released
after much hard usage. In consequence
of the treatment of the mail agent the
mails on the Pacific road have been sus
pended for the present. "
New York 16th. The Herald states
that on the 17th ult., the war dapartment
ssued orders directing the commanders
of Fort Smith, Ark., Forts Cobb, Gibson
and Washita to evacuate and repair with
their troops and government property to
Ft Leavenworth, and authorizing the oc
cupation cf those posts by Arkansas vol-
unteers caneu oui uy iuc x icsmcui uisi
proclamation. This explains the aban
donment of Ft Smith by its federal gar
rison sometime since.
The Government to day received ad
vices from the squadron off Ft Pickens.
There was no change of military status ;
the squadron in accordance with instruc
tions had put a stop to the landing of ves
sels from Mobile and IS Urleans with
supplies for the rebel army, being a com-
.... . i.
plete blockade. It appears me reDei
troops had been almost wholly supplied
with provisions from tacse iwo ports, tne
stopping of their supplies at this time will
it is thought operate most disastrously to
the troops, as they were but poorly sup
plied before. .
... ... . j . t
The World's VVasmngtonaispaicn says
the police have been required to take the
oath cf alleigance.
Another spy has been ?rrested in the
Pa camp.
It was rumored the a troops were en
camped in the rear of Arlington heights
two miles from Washington, the rumor is
not credited, although the troops were
ordered to sleep on their arms with the
artillery on the alert with double shotted
Suns- , . .
There was anouier attempt ai nut m
rratt street, Baltimore, on the occasion of
the pisae of the Djylstown guard with
the Ringgcld battery, and the fact being
known, every man had a loaded riCe which
deterred any serious movement.

New York, ..lay lGth. A private let
ler from the wife of a leading politician
of the Confederate Government to a friend
in this city reads as follows : Northerners
need have no expectation in regrff d to the
bones of Washington. We will see that
they are not desecrated by the touch of
abolition hands. They are our sacred
inheritance.
Louisville, May 16th. Street rumors
say there is likely to be difficulty here be
tween the opposing parties on the advent
of Col Anderson.
New York, May 16th. A special dis
patch to the Commercial says it is report-
d here that the Va secessionists have

vent approoch to Richmond.
Certain developments indicate that gov
ernment will make a decisive demonstra
tion in a short time.
The World's dispatch says it is believed
that 10,000 Pennsvlvanians are moving
towards Maryland.
The transfer of Butler to fortress Mon
roe, and sending there large qnantitiesof
ammunition ana stores, is believed to in
dicate important movements.
Advices from fortress Monroe state
that a band of secessionists from Hamp
ton sent a deputation to Col Demmick de
manding sole possession of the roads lead
ing across the dyke which has been late-
y under guard ; Demmick's reply was
that he would give the rebels ten minutes
to disperse ; two companies were ordered
northward and two cannon were planted
o as to sweep the entire distance, the
Col, watch in hand, watched the expira
tion of the time, when not a rebel was to
be seen. 200 Mass troops took posses
sion of the dyke and bridge.'
Cincinnati, May 16th. Col Anderson
arrived this afternoon and wa3 met at the
depot by a committee of the city council.
Mayor Hatch tendered the hospitalities
of the ciiy, to which Col Anderson brief-
y replied. He was then escorted through
the principal streets by the home guards
and an immense throng of citizens gene
rally. Everywhere along the whole line
of marbh the most hearty expressions of
welcome were given. At camp Dennison
the soldiers were drawn up in line pre
senting arms as the train passed. Uol
Andprson is the guest of his brother Lary
Anderson.
Harrisburg, May 16th.-It is novr re

mand under him.

of "Gov Letcher's proposition to purchase
steamships Yorktown and Jamestown, re
cently seized by his orders and now in
h: possession, an act of treason. With
this request I readily comply: An insur
rection has broken out in several States
of this Union including Va., designed to
overthrow the government cf the U S.
The executive authorities ure parties to
that insurrection and so are public ene-1
mies; their action in seizing or buying
vessels to be employed m the execution of
the decision is not merely without author
ity of law but is treason. It i3 treason
for any person to give aid or comfort to j
public enemies. To sell vessels to them,
which it is their purpdse to use as ships
of war, is to give them aid or comfort.
To receive money from "them in payment
for vessels which they have seized for
these purposes would be to convert the
unlawful seizure into a sale and would
subject the party offending to the pains
and penalties of treason and the govern
ment would not hesitate to bring the of
fender to punishment. Signed,

will report the same to tho Adj't Gea'a

Efforts arc being made to trample tho
