Interception of Highly Important Docu-
ments.
Edward B. Ruggles, a young man of
seventeen years of age, is at present de.
tanned at police headquarters by order of
Secretary Seward, on charge Of being a
bearer Of dispatches from the rebel army,
and also as being an emissary of the reb-
el government.
The prisoner is a son of Gen. Ruggles
now commander of a portion of the rebel
forces in Virginia. He is very intelli.
gent and highly educated lad, rather

He left Montgomery under private in
structions, received from JEFF. Davis in
person, and made his way to Havana
From that place he proceeded to Aspin-
wall, where his overinquisitiveness in
relation to American, ocean, and Califor-
MIA steamers, attracted the attention of
the American consul and excited his sus-
piciou, who forwarded q description Of
his person to Secretary Seward. Direc.
tions were at once sent to Superintendent
Kennedy, to arrest the boy as soon as he
landed in New York.
Detectives Eustace and Farley were
entrusted with the case. The lad arrived

tended assassins that this is game that
more than one can play at. He says:
"Let a respectable Union man in

prominent secessionists in the county,

certain as there is o God in Heaven,
they will have to die We speak advis-
edly, and reflect the purposes of large
organization in this and other counties.
We speak the words of truth-not to in-
timidate men, but to let them know what
will be the result of any such murderous
assaults. Commit your acts of violence,
and then fortify yourselves with regi-

will be met with opposing regiments, and
you shall be pursued to the very gates Of

~.. lFrom the Chicago Tribunc.l ,
The efforts of the rebels to embarrass
the Federal Government have fallen with
peculiar severity upon the Baltimore 4
Ohio Railroad. BY their acts the busi-
ness Of the road has been wholly sus.
pended, and a blow given to its prosper
ity from which it will probably never
recover. There have been in all some
5000 feet of bridging and trcssle work
destroyed between Harper's Ferry and
Cumberland; the beautiful iron bridge
at Harper's Ferry has been destroyed for
a mile in length; aud these and other
serious breaks, with wholesale destruc.
zion OF rolling stock and machinery, are
q complication of disasters from which
there will be no immediate recovery, un
less the Government takes the road into
its own hands.
/ But the fate Of the road, as also Of tho
town of Harper's Ferry, is a retribution
which amounts to poetic justice. Each
encouraged the rebellion, and courted the
presence Of rebel troops, aud they have
fallen together 10 the pit Of their own
digging. Months before the North had
any suspicion Of the designs of the
Southern traitors, Mr.. Garrett, tho Pres.
ident Of the corporation, who seems to
have been cognizant Of the plot, made a
public speech at Baltimore in which be
foreshadowed war, aud pledged the use
of the road and the services Of its thou
sands of employees for the defence of the
South and its institutions. 1t is sup
posed that in favoring secession, he was
aetuated by au intense jealousy of the
three great rival lines at the North de.
luding himself with the id a that in =
Southern Confederacy the Baltimore 4
Ohio road would have monopoly Of the
Southwestern traffic. He has endeavor
ed to keep bis promise, and with faith.
fitness that has only made disaster the
more complete. OF course there can be
no future claim for damages, either upon
the State or Federal Government.
In view Of this malignity of tho rebels,
as touching their own material interests,
it is not strange that the capitalists of
Baltimore should begin to see matters in
a true light, and seriously repent them
Of. Of their their folly: Already it is reported
eyes. They would be only too glad, now
it the Government will occupy the line,
repair it, and hold it with troops. A
part of this hope will doubtless be real
lied at an early day but it is already
proposed in Western Virginia to open
closer relations with the North and East
by new line to Harrisburg, in order
that Baltimore may not again hold the
key to their prosperity.

many persons forget this important part Of
this publication contest.
In all wars between equal, or nearly equal
powers, the rule has been to ask everything.
but to be content with small part Of the de-
mand. In all contests the necessity Of a
compromise in the end is absolute. It's not
in one Of . thousand wars that any result is
