likewise published the Ntso Church Herald,
but most of his patrons have recently with
drawn their subscriptions, and he at length
resorted TO the publication of peace pa
per-" called the Banner Of Reunion, which
was distributed gratis to such as it was be-
lieved could be effected, but who did not feel
inclined to pay the subscription price, which
was fifty cents the deficiency being made
up, it is supposed, by donations. The paper
was published anonymously, aud the loca-
tion of the Office was not given.
The warrant was sworn out early yester-
day morning, and the Marshal, with posse,
made descent upon the house, while
another posse at the same time seized what
could be found in his printing office. Nearly
bushel of correspondence was taken, and
back numbers Of his paper, but the District
Attorney declined to allow any of the letters
to be published previous to the trial, but we
learn that they are very strong, and impli-
cate not only Mr.. Hough, but several parties
well-known in this city and State, as well as
others at distance.
The whole affair was managed with such
| secrecy, by the authorities, that the accused
was not aware OF being suspected, and he
| consequently had no opportunity to secrete
the evidences of his guilt, or to screen his
| friends.
The articles in the papers are written with
| great care, so that they can be construed to
| suit the occasion, but all are intended to in
sinuate an opposition to the war, thereby
weakening the heads of the Government aud
giving aid and comfort to the rebels. The
following are few extracts, taken from the
numbers before US;

"a great work Is to be done, requiring the
cooperative labors of Millions The de-
structiye agencies now urging forward their
desolating work will soon exhaust their mo-

war will be gone, and men will awake as il
from horrible dream. They will never be
able to explain to themselves, satisfactorily
the strange mystery of that hallucination,
under whose apparently resistless influence
they were led to believe that war could pre-
serve the Union of the States. I'VE were q

He then tries to frighten friends of the wa
by the cry of Abolition:
"The irrepressible conflict is the question
at issue. There are many subordinate ques

our national troubles. The leading spirit

for war purposes is copied, with the follow
ing comments:
