St. Louis, 23, A. M. The steamer J.
C. Swan was seized yesterday 35 miles
below this city, by order Gen. Lyon of
the Arsenal. The reason of doing so is
because the Swan brought contrabrand
articles up from Baton Rouge to this city
a week or two ago. A company of U. S.
soldiers went down to Ironton yesterday,
by order of Gen. Lyon seized 5,000 lbs.
of lead and captured sixty prisoners who
had been engaged in shipping lead to the
Southern Confederacy; but five of the
prisoners were discharged, the rest were
brought to the arsenal. Shots were fired
by the prisoners at the soldiers, they re
turned the fire but nobody was hurt.
A gentleman, named J. D. Brown,
makes a statement in this
morning's
ington despatch says, the rumor of a de
monstration at Harper's Ferry or else
where in Va. on or after the night of
Thursday is unfounded.
A South Carolina Secessionist recently
from Va. by of Harper's Ferry reports
50,000 troops insufficiently armed, dis
tributed at various points with a view to
influence the election on Thursday. The
Virginians estimate the number at 60,-
000. From what he observed he believes
it is the intention to attempt to transfer
the battle ground to Penn., moving from
Harper's Ferry which in now strongly
fortified from all sides. Mr. Bailey Mc-
Elret from the Worcester, Mass. district,
has arrived from Enterprise, Florida,
where he spent the Spring mostly on ac
count of his health; He came via Savan
nah, Nashville and Louisville. He was
advised that it was impossible to come
through Va. Having met two men who
had been turned back. His party con
sisted of 30 including 6 Northern school
masters, other invalids and two army
lieutenants. At Atlanta his baggage was
search by a committee of the crowd.
Special attention was paid to the school
masters -by the troops, afterwards the
party divided. No passes were required.
He had no trouble in t lonaa or on tne
journey, ills invalidism was uis pruiei;-
tion. Mr. Uailey reports soiaiers every
where in motion towards Va., disciplined,
armed and equipped. At Chattanango
there were from to o.UUU. he neara
no Union talk until he reach Ky. Mr.
Walbridffe has been re-called here to give
important topographical information. He
spent much time in the Carolinas, Ky.
Tenn. and Va. and is familiar with the
country. His information in relation to
the interior indicates that the operations

and if in favor of the Union they will
straightway be compelled to leave the

how to act in this dilemna. It is also de
clared that travel into or through Va will
be Drohibited after Thursday, except by
special permission of the Governor. A

The Herald's dispatch says, it appears
that more than a month ago our gov t gave
notice to the powers of Europe who took
part in the Pans Congress in 1000, mat
they were willing to accept the code they

privateering to piracy. Government has

now under examination here charged with
treason for enlisting and sending troops

that the prisoners had any hand in their
enlistment.
