Tie Arrest of Geo. W. Jones.

From the n. i. Express. frIdoy altcrnoo1.l
At $ o'clock, Thursday afternoon, Hon. Geo.
N. Jones, late Minister to Bogota, who had
been inWashingto On week settling his aeeopnts
took passage In the cars for New 7 loEk, on his
way to Iowa. At o'clock, the same evening,
Mr.. Kennedy, police superintendent Of this
city, received 9 dispatch from hr. Seward, d.
recting him to arrest the ex-senator, On .
charge Of treason, and informing him Of the
ronte he had taken. Detective Farley was de-
tailed to the railroad depot at Jersey City, for
the purpose Of arTesting the accused. At 5
O'Clock this friday morning the train ar
rived, and Mr. Farley saw his man getting OF.
Approaching him, he informed him that he was
aprisoner. Mr. Jones expressed surprise at
this unexpected interruption, and thought
there must be some mistake, bnt the officer as
eured him there was not. Mr. Jone5s bag
gage was then secured, and he was brought to
the Police Headquarters in 4 carriage, no re-
eistance or the least objection being offered.
Mr. Kennedy received his distinguished
prisoner with much cordially, but could not,
| Of course, inform him rs to the nature Of the
! charge which had been made against him Mr.
/ Jones said that, he thought it very strange
| that after his full and free Communication with
| der his arrest In neither word or deed had he
| been guilty ofdisloyalty, and he could account
I for his arrest only on the 6upposition that q
:, foreigner, vino bears him some cnrnitv, haG
made false charges against him. He wishes
an Immediate examination, and is confident 0

COTTON GROWING IN ILLLNOIS.
We are gratifed to learn that the officers
Of the Illinois Central Railroad are pre-
caring to do all that their position war
rants, in the way Of encouraging the growth
Of Cotton in Southern Illinois. The tes-
timony whicl, they have gathered, know
ing as they do the sources whence it comes,
seems to have satisfied them that the
staplc can be grown along the line Of their
road as certain, easy and highly remuner-
alive crop, at any price to which Cotton
will tie likely TO fall within the next five
years. At present market rates, the pro-
duct Of each acre would be, when baled
and ready for sale, about one hun
dred and sixty dcllars-a pecuni-
ary temptation to men who are
raising Indian Com st s to 10c per bushel,
which will not be without its effect. We
learn further that series Of experiments
for :sccli1nating the cotton plant, so that it
may ripcn in all the State as far North as
Ottawa, will be undertaken by private indi.

We have already mentioned that Captain
Chambers, Of the regular army, and Hon. John
Edwards, had each received commissions rs
Colonel Of the 10th Iowa regiment, in camp at
Davenport, and the mystery is NOW explained
by the Davenport Ga=eae. 1t seems that Gov.
Kirkwood Ind sought the consent Of the War
Department to appoint Capt. Chambers, and
having been denied on similar applications be-
fore, he construed the long silence Of the De-
partment into refusal. He returned to Des-
moines in the interim, and made ont COM
mission to Hon. John Edwards, late Speaker
Of the Legislature, who commanded a regi-
mcnt Of Home Guards on the border during
the Summer. Meanwhile, Adjutant Generu1
Baker, at Davenport, received dispatch from
the War Department, giving its consent to the
appointment Of Capt. Chambers, and having
blank commissions with the Governors sig
| nature, and knowing that such course would
be III accordance with the Governors wishes,
he at once issued commission to Captain
| Chambers. So there arc two Colone1s to the
| 1Glh regiment. Col Edwards will, Of course,
retire, mud be provided for in some other way,
But it is good joke, nevertheless.

The late warlikc spirit manifested On the
part Of the press Of England, has induced
owners Of vessels to send for such Of their
craft as are nov in winter quarters on the
Canadian side. Several arc expected very
soon, and ore, the schooner PIover, has al
ready arrived in port" The hostile attitude
Of the Canadian press and people toward US,
has doubtless much to do with this stampede
Of American vessels. Our ueighbors over the

AN ARRIVAL FROM sECESSIA.
Hebe1 Army at Bowling Green-.-Sick-

Union Feeling In Tennessee.

From the Louisville Journal, Saturday.
We had an interview yesterday with o gen
leman who had just arrived from Tennessee.
He set ont from Mnrfteesboro Oh horseback,
lumbia and Lebanon to this city. His oppor-
tunities for observation while in Tennessee,
were excellent, and he made the most Of his
opportunities. He spent several days recent
u at Bowling Green, Kentucky, aud Is thor
oughly posted as to the strength Of the army
about Bowling Green. He assures Us that to
The best Of his knowledge, Gen Johnston has
ffty-two regiments under his command; that
those regiments average about eight hundred
men; that OF the number about ten Thousand
arc untitled By disease for the performance Of
two Thousand effective men in that division Of
the rebel army. Ofthis number, he says only
about fifteen thousand are supplied with good
improved aEmb.
he is Of the opinion TINT the thirty thousand
troops called for recently BY Governor Harris,
of Tennessee, viii not be rai5ed, even through
the resort to the system Of drafting that has
been inaugurated. In many Of the counties
the effort TO draft had been furiously resisted.
A strong Union feeling exists in the upper
counties Of Tennessee. On Thursday night,
the 18th inst, the Union men Of Macon coun-
and took possession Of one hundred aud tifty
stand of arms that had been collected By the
rebels to be forwarded to Nashville for the use
| Of the army. Abont the same number Of guns
| were taken in the same manner By the Union
men Of GainesboFo, Jackson county, Tenn,
| at the same time. Fully two-thirds Of The
citizens Of Macon county haye Joined the army
OF the Union il Kentucky.
Our informant, who is q gentleman Of intel
Ggence, represents the people Of the Confed
eracy, and of Tennessee in particular, to be IL
| 4 state Of terrible suffering, owing to the ces
| sation Of business, the absence Of money an6
the ntcessaries Of Life, and the constant fca
] Of invasion from Kentucky. He confirms th'
! report that the black flag had been carrie'
| through the streets Of Nashville, and tha
some Of the regiments had unfurled it a
