RELEASE oFMARcUs CICERO STANLEY

On Saturday morning, by reason of orders from the
Government, the gates of Fort Lafayette opened for
the release of Marcus Cicero Stanley. II may be
remembered that the 18th inst. he was arrested by
Deputy L. 5. Marshal, in Crook s. Dufs saloon,
Park-rOw. AT that time he protested that he of all
men in the country, most innocent Of any such
charge us that Of being disunonist. Those who
knew him best most astonshed at the event. and
by dnt Of energy the part of his wife and friends
his properly laid before the authorities The
result was his permission TO go forth, once more free
man.
In addition to the Notifying circumstance Of biz
hasing been made prisoner such a dishonorabe
charge the dsunion prisoners whom be found at Fort
Lafayette treated him very sconfully, simply because
he had informed them at very early stage Of his
iourn among HEM that be did desire TO hear any Of
their fulminations against the Government of the
United States; that if they desired to carry that
style OF conversation he had no sympathy whatever
with them blt on the contrary thought that every
OF them ought to be hung the earliest convenience OF
the Government day or two after his arrival, sir.
McMasfers added to the company and he, learning
what Mr.. Stanley had said 10 bis felow-Seeessioniss
Immediately Informed them to be careful az Stanley
was . spy of the Government, and not prisoner
Most Of them believed this accusation, 20 thai poor
Stanley hid sore time of il. But he decided upon
separation from the mese and purchased for himself
stove. He ALEC hired, for bis own service, q cook
while Mr.. Stanley did the marketing. Thus estab-
G'hed, Mr. Stanley refuted the charge of being spy
Mr. Anderson, ex-Deputy Sheriff, defended him from
the sceusatiOn made by McIdaers, saying that he
knew Stanley TO be different kind Of man. And
when it became known that Mr. Stanley was about to
leave, eX-Mlnister Faulkner was deputed to bid him
good bye and to apologize for whatever Of ungentle
manly conduct, on the part of him and his fellow
rebels had led to the woundiDg of his feelings.
Mr.. Stanley is satisfied with the course taken by tie
Government in lis arrest, but deprecaes the maneu-
vering by which they were urged into taking such
step.
