Secretary SEWARD has arrested and sent
to Fort Warren the author of the paragraph
in the New York Independent, making Ger
tain statements with regard to THUaLow
WEEDS visit to Europe. The following is
the offensive paragraph in question:
Just as we are going to press, we receive
most important piece OF information from
reliable source. 1t is nothing less than
the expressed conviction of Mr.. Seward
that the Government cannot succeed in this
war; that the Confederacy will probably
be recognized by the European powers /;
and that peace will be the result in sixty
days. In view of this, Mr.. Thurlow Weed
has been sent to England, and if he shall
fiud the British Ministry determined to re
cognize the Confederacy, the Admlnistra
tion here will prepare at once for peace. 1t
was 10 pave the way for this that the dis
couraging report of Adjntant General
Thomas was allowed to be Published. We
have no space at this late hour to remark
on this information, except to say that, if
entirely correct, las we are positively as
sured) it will simply break down the Ad.
ministration and destroy the country.
The author of this item is probably bold
operator on the stock exchange, and desired
to produce panic, that he might purchase
after the fall.

commanded US, but confidence in ourselves
the want of which very often shakes tie

foreigners on the soil where they have to

We will keep your words and your mems

also, and will do our best, under the egide
of our new gallant commander-Maj. Gen.
McClellan--to justify the hatteriHg words
expressed by you, and to show to our
American brethren in the Union that the
spirit of Steuben and DeKalb is not yet

A writer 10 the Boston Traveller, desert.
bling the prisoners in Fort Warren, Roston
Harbor, says : ,t,lr I'm .,...,
One OF the most noticeable of these is
Marshal Kane, OF Baltimore, fine looking
well dressed gentleman, above the middle
height. He bustles about 10 a Scotch cap,
with bis pant legs within his boots, and by
stranger might be mistaken for the prin-
cipal person of the garrison. He converses
freely with the officers stationed at the fort,
and is evidently not much disconnected with
his position. Mayor Brown, of Baltimore,
quiet, tidy gentleman, evidently does not
like his position. Col. Tyer-who fought
at Bull Run, and was afterwards arrested
when on visit to Cincinnati-is another
noticeable person, very tall, quaint, and
wearing beard of magnificent proportions.
He is evidently in not very good health
Ex-Governor MOrehead, of Kentucky, is a
line looking man, past the middle age, tall
and portly, and does not hesitate to express
his contempt for the cobbling Yankees"
Commodore Barron, of Fort Hatteras no.
torlety, comes out In full uniform, bespan.
ged with gold, and glittering with ali the
insignia allowed to his rank 10 the Confed
crate navy. Col. Pegram, who surrendered
to Gen. Mcclellan, in Western Virginia, is
OF rather small stature, without ostentation,
but looks like man of ability and courage.
The other officers among the prisoners of
war do not strike the visitor as being par
ticularly worthy of notice Most OF them
are without any insignia to designate that
they have been soldiers They are all quiet
and submit with apparent satisfaction to all
the requirements of the commander of the
fort. The same may be said of the political
prisoners, except that some of them occa.
sioDally indulge in remarks Indicating their
sympathy with Secession. ....

brother who was in the battle at Bull Run,

At recent meeting in New York to exs
press sympathy with the loyal citizens of
North Carolina, the following tribute to
Gen. Mcclellan occurs in the remarks of
Gen. Burnside
Our grand old chief who has Just left the
head OF the army, needs no eulogy from me-
His history is made. He has place in
your hearts. Nothing l could say would
raise him in the estimation of the American
people and especially the people of New
York, who are so dear to him, and to whom
be is so dear. But l ask your patience,
your forbearance for, and your confidence ia
the young chief who has assumed the COM
mand. l have known him intimately as
students together, as soldiers in the field,
and as private citizens for years we have
lived together in the same family. 1 know
him as we'll as l know any human being
upon the face of the earth, and know that
no more honest, conscientious man exists
than Gen Mcclellan. know that no feel
ing of ambition beyond the good of his
country land the success of our cause, ever
enters his breast. l know that all be does
is with single eye to the success of this
government and the breaking down of this
rebellion. And know that nothing un-
der the sun can ever induce that man to
swerve from what be believes to be his du
ty. He is an honest, conscientious, Chris
tian man. And now let me add, what l
believe, and what is believed and felt by ev-
cry person who has ever come in contact
with him, that he has the soundest head,
and the clearest military perception of any
man in the United States.
