IT due to my son to myself and family aud to
the public, to state the real facts OF the case
and contradict the false.

Ny son, w. = Small, was placed on guard
with many Others at the hour of II o'clock,
(mldnight) and by law was bound to stand sen

at which time, he with the others should have
been released, Ou; o'clock come and 10 relief
came yet, a which time he felt very much IA
tigued and sat down ut his post to rest aud fell
asleep. Some time after three o'clock the officer
OF the Guard came with the relief, the the
Captain of the Guard having himself laid down
aud slept till that late hour, hence the neglect
of the off :er of the Guard to relieve till that
tlme,) finally the officer of the Guard came and
found w. ). Small asleep on his post, sometime
after o'clock. He then ordered w s Small
to be arrested and put in the Guard house, (it
being nothing but an open tent which was
executed by Lieut.. Perry. Capt McManus on

THE NEWS.

1t is evident from our dispatches, this morn
ing that battle is expected near Washing
ton The rebel troops are crowding forward,
and our troops are thrown forward against
them. Those who lead the rebel army have
purpose in this movement 1t may be an act
of desperation, they being forced by clamor
not to retreat to Richmond without trying the
fortunes OF a battle. The present situation
there cannot continue much longer without a
fight.
The Wheeling convention has elected
governor and other state officers. Their or.
ganization will soon be complete and it will
be supported by well appointed army of
their own. The rebel troops are evidently
moving into western Virginia, and some sharp
conflicts may soon take place in that region.
Gen. Mcclellan will command there, and he
will perhaps go down and disturb the dLeams
of John B. Floyd, the thief, more painfully
than ever.
There are reports of skirmishes and brave
deeds on the upper Potomac, but the particu-
lars are not given very fully. The position
and purposes of the main body of the troops
in that quarter, on both sides, are not very
clearly shown at present.
The Missouri rebels, it is said, are preparing
to make a stand at Lexington. There will
congregate their various bands, including Ben
McCulloch and the men from Arkansas, if
they are not again attacked and scattered be-
fore the troops have time to arrive in much
force. 1t would do McCulloch's men good to
have visitation from Captain Montgomery's
men from Kansas.
AT Cairo. ILL.,, the troops have had speech
from Mr.. Russell of the London Times. He
praised them, but was mon .committal'' on the
great question. Mr.. Russell complains that
the secessionists have tempered with his cor
respondence, and tells the Illinois troops, in
private conversation, that they are incompara.
bly, superior to the southern troops, in drill,
arms, and appearance. That was pleasant to

my Mimic rifles. [Great laughter [Mr.
Landing had with lreat difficulty obtained
forty Mimic rifles for the people OF his county,
at the commencement of the present season,
which were sized by order of Gen. Butler on
board steamer IN Baltimore, chartered 10
convey them to their destination, and taken to
fort MeIenry An when asked to have
'em back, why the governor he tell me TO go to
higher law. He says must 90 to the presi'
dent of the United States or TO Gen. Butler;
and while I'm bout it I'll tell you another
thing, we couldn't get them back II all the
people in the state was to ask for them, unless
they choose to give them back tn It's. Well,
now, it's no use going to the sov'nu TO get
back the niggas. He can't do il; anu l want
10 amend that order so as to go To Tie higher
power at once. | want President Linkum
Qaughter), or Lincone (laughter), or whatever
you may call him, TO tell his higher officers tor
TO give to little Mary land her private property,
which she bought on her own hook. Laugh
teri An he ought to give them back, cause
we can't fight for it, we haven't got any arms
but at the same time we aint agoin' TO be walk
ed right over, an they mustn't try it, or there
will be lovely fight, tell you"
After more eloquence of this sort, a member
stated that three of the fugitives in question
had been delivered up, and that there would
be no difficulty about the Others. Another
member sought to discredit this statement;
but the order was finally Withdrawn for
amendment. 1t is pleasant TO anticipate the
next election in that state, at which the people
will certainly choose legislature of very
different character.
