The Washington correspondent OF
the Baltimore Sun writes:

The Washington correspondent OF
the Baltimore Sun writes:
The startling event Of to-day has
been the arrest Of the Hon. c. J.
Faulkner, ex-Minister to France. He
was at once carried from his lodgings,
at Browns Hotel, to the jail, and up
to the time Of this writing he has had
no examination or trial. His bag
gage &c, is under close military
surveillance. 1t is supposed that he
was arrested upon charge of trea-
son, but in what precise way he has
given aid and comfort to the enemies
OF the republic has not transpired.
On Saturday he stated publicly that
he had called upon the government
for pass to go into Virginia, but as
that State is held to be out Of the
United States, and as he might be
loyal to the Federal Government
when he should reach his home it is
supposed that something besides the
mere asking for a pass is at the bot
tom Of accusations against him.

Finding Nushed Batte,1es.-The

the zeal of Gen. Schenck in finding
masked batteries, as detailed by a
volunteer in the Ohio regiment from
Dayton. The truth is, and it must
be told, Gen. Schenck is a brave SOL
der, but he didn't appreciate his
men. They didn't like masked bat

his death should be kept secret from

do respectfully petition: That where

portion of the United States and

States, prostrating business of every
kind, and producing an estrange-
ment of the people ofthe two sections
of our once glorious country, not like

also is of doubtful result to Northern
arms,) we advise compromise be-
tween the said sections on the basis

our opinion, be honorable to our

Truly, do the patriotic Breckenridge sheets,

Mr.. Lincoln assumes the reins of Govern
ment, at time Of fearful responsibility -
Sincerely do we sympalhize with their ratri-
ote and deeply afflicted hearts, as they
mourn the unhappy catastrophe which they
deliberately produced or aided in bringing
about. The present crisis, they say, is in con
sequence of the division in the Democratic
party, during the last Presidential campaign.
They will not undertake to state. now, what
were the causes of that division. We do no,
blame them for being little "shy" of that
point.
/ How poignant are their regrets that, OF
account Of the election of Lincoln, certain
states have seeded How yehemrntly d.
they deprecaie civil war; How earnest they
are in their declarations that no coercion
shall be used How Indignantly do they
deny that there is any such thing as til,
power of coercion in the Government. Had
Lincoln never been elected, all this excited
and eXcruciatiug feeling would have beer
spared them, but, then, We suppose, they di,
not know, when they were electing Lincoln
that they were going 10 feel $50 bad" aNou
