uon-talk of very interesting political
tone. Bya Characteristic blunder, Col. Bay
lor the very man who commanded the
Harper's Ferry militia in the attack against
Brown, was put under arrest. He was
highly incensed at the indignity; and when
the officer of the guard learned who he was
and directed that he should be set at libcr-
ty, h. declined to take his liberty, and in
sisted upon being brought to headquarters
and on receiving from the General a written
order of discharge Theu his Indignation
found vent in a very free and open express
sion Of his private sentiments in regard to
the whole military array. He denounced
it rs disunion movement, got up by Hen
ry a. Wise, who wanted TO be President OF
u Southern Confederacy. 1t is a vile polit-
ical scheme, said he "to destroy this Union.
The command is given to near relative of
Wise; many of the officers are related to
him, and nine out Of ten men are his poIiti-
cal supporters. The object is to increase

Baylor said in addition that though there
