lay tho alarm had consi erably subsided, and
business, which was eutiroy suspended the
day previous, was generally resumed Al
one time the peril was imminent, and nothing
but Inc courage and prudence ofthe President,
aided by fimness and sagacity, prevented the
most serious consequences. Numerous ar
rests have taken pace, including several MEM

ad interim, gave to the Quarter Master OF
each regiment, certificate, specifying that
there was due TO suc'i reg ment 30 many ra-
,ions of beef, DC. These certificates did pEci.
ty well for a while, and tie privation was
borne with characterize patience by SOL
diery accustomed to hafdships, ard ready TO
endure anything in the cause Of liberty and
their country. But eve n patience has lis lin
the cause Of tho omission became at
las, understood, and dissa,sfaciion manifest
cd itself throughout the ranks. Remon-
strances from the subordinate officers had
been repeatedly made, and promises of an end
ment readily and repeatedly given, I'LL at last,
finding that nothing but promises came, it was
found necessary to complain to the Command

Washington, upon hearing the story gave
immediate orders for the arrest of Mr.. s.
Upon his being brought into camp, and placed
under guard. the officer having him in charge
waited lpon the General to apprase him OF

whom the prisoner was to be fed.
"Give yourself no trouble, sir, 'said Wash

After The lapse Of reasonabl, time, the
delinquent was conveyed TO head quarters +,
when Warrington, in his peculiarly signif'
