Judge Thompson in the Lower
Counties.

The Tyler county paper has pungent
comment on Judge ThompsOn's NONSENSE
cal and treacherous pronuuciamento. We
publish it in another column. This is the
kind of favor the Judge meets with in the
lower counties. His efforts to undo the
Union cause and sell us all out to the Sc
cessionists have been met with hearty
contempt by the people. If ever a poor
man was done for in this life, it is Judge
Thompson, late of this circuit. lie can
now go to the political bone yard with the
consciousness that he has died as Abuer
died. His fate will be warning to future
conspirators among us. He had better
emigrate to some section where his-style
of grammar and patriotism is more in
vogue than it is here. "As an idea Of
development" they have been rejected
hcrcabouts.
From the Tyler County PIainieNler.l
JUDGE rmouPsoX's PROSrNCIGMBSTo.
a young limb of the law was once bor-
ing the court by reading from Blackstone,
when his honor informed him that the an-
ihority WAS ont of date, aud was not at all
applicable to the case. The young limb
replied, that he knew all that very well, hut
he wanted to show the court what an old
fool Blackstone was. SO we have given
room to Judge Thompson's great 'masked
battery on the outside of our paper just
to show orr readers what he has done,
aud what he will do.
We wouldn't stop much TO be very severe
on the Judge for his turn-coat disposition
which has characterized him all the days
of his life. but it would be disgraceful to
strike mt so successful suicide. Poor
man, let him go-he is now reaping the re-
ward which he so richly merits, while none
but secessionists do him reverence. He
charges all who took the oath to support
the Government with treason; and by so
doing has become bye-word with every
loyal citizen. Again we say, let him CO.
Judge Good will soon adorn the position
which lie has rendered himself unworthy
TO fill.

Arrest Of an Adjutant General of the
Rebel rmY.


While promenading on Fourth street, yes
terday afternoon, Col. J. v. Guthrie, of the
First Kentucky. saw a gentleman whom he
thought he recognized as Col. Tyler, late OF
the U. s. Army, but now Adjutant Gener-
al in the rebel army. So strongly was ne
impressed with this idea, that be turned and
followed. Presently he met Captain Dicker-
son, and upon consultation they were ootn
satisfied that Col. Guthrie was right In DIS
surmise. Thereupon Col Guthrie approach
ed Col. TYLER, and claimed him as prisoner
of war. TYLER appeared to be somewhat
amazed. but confessed his name and rank in
Reauregard's army, and said that "traveling
"a a citizen, and without arms, he did not
anticipate an arrest"
Col. Guthrie delivered his prisoner to
Captain Mclean, Assistant Adjutant Gene
raj of this department, who conveyed him to
the Newport Barracks, and teiegraphed to
General Scott for further instructions.
Col. Tyler asked to be placed on parole,
but Capt. Mclean refused to grant the re-
quest, until he heard from headquarters
Capt. Tyler came to this city yesterday
morning, for the ostensible purpose of visit
ing his wife, who has been boarding in the
city all summer. Mrs. Tyler is said to be the
daughter of DIR. J. J. B. Wright, of this CITY,
1t is also reported that she telegraphed to
her husband, both at Louisville and Nash
vile. not to come on, as it was dangerous
But it seems that neither of these dispatches
reached their destination.
Capt. Tyler graduated at West Point in
the class Of 1913. and served in the cavalry
service until the breaking out of the rebel
lion, when he resigned. He was then at Fort
kearney. He is a member of Gen. Beaure-
CARDS staff, and served at Manassas as Adju-
tant General At the Burnet House, he reg
istered sc. G. Tyler, Vir."
This is one of the most mysterious per-
formances that has happened since the re-
bellIon began. It is incOmprehensible. For
