ARREST or SECESSION AGENT AT NEW
YoRK.-The New York Post of Friday gives
the following account Of the arrest of pas
senger by the Persia ,as previously announced
in our telegraphic dispatches yesterday -
Last Tuesday afternoon the Surveyor
of the Port, with officers lsaacs and Bum.
boarded the steamer Persia ut Quarantine.
On the way up to the city intelligence was
communicated to the Surveyor to the effect
that one of the passengers on board, named
Thomas 5. Serrill. was violent secessionist,
and had stated to another passenger that he
was returning from Europe with the pro-
ceeds of loan which he had negotiated in
Europe for the Southern Conicderacy.
On the arrival OF the steamer ut Jersey
City, officers lsaacs aud Bum made n
thorough search Of the person and baggage
of the passenger designated, and succeeded
in finding fl0, 900 in Bank OF England notes,
aud large number OF letters and other i'm
portant papeaIs, the contents Of which leave
no doubt that the information given to the
Surveyor was correct.
Surveyor Andrews at once communicated
;
the Secretary commended the proceedings
already taken which were communicated u
the Federal government at Washington.
Meanwhile the money amounting to Ei0,-
900, and the letters were taken to the Sur
yeyor's Office. Theletters have been read and
are discovered to be strongly secession in
tone, and some of them suggest plans for
breaking the blockade and supplying the
Liverpool market with cotton. These des-
patches leave no doubt as TO the character Of
the bearer, and render it probable that the
100000 was loan to the Confederate
States" rs he represented.
Several passengers by the Persia have VOL
untarialy come forward and have made aihda-
Wits respecting the secession talk ofScrrill on
board the ship. This morning the United
States District Attorney put warrant COR
Serrill's arrest in the hands of an officer
Mr.. Serrill is New Orleans man. who has
been for years engaged in the cotton business.
He Is about fifty years OF age, and is repre-
sented to be wealthy. Some of the aiIidayits
OF passengers, made this morning, state posi-
lively that Serrill said that the money in his
possession was "a loan for the Confederate
States"

A writer in the Charleston, S. c. Courier,
shows that volunteers arc getting to be scarce
among the PalmettOs. Hear his wailins:
There is in our community too great a
disposition to shirk active duty. At every
turn can be seen healthy, vigorous men, I'M
der iorty-fve years Of age, who are taking no
part in defence OF their own honor and in
terest. Some hold back because Others do |;
some must have commissions; some have
families, or business, or are members Of or
carnations which they know will not be or
dercd out Of the city; some are legally or
professionally exempt. Now this state of
things is discrcditablc to US. The enemy is
at our doors. In the name Of common patriot
ism, let this cease TO be. The facts which
have mentioned are unpleasant truths, but
they are truths, nevertheless.

Y Hampton, Va, which the rebels and
Magruder have burnt in such a cruel and bar
barous manner, was place OF some two thou
sand inhabitants, with five churches, several
hotels, and numerous stores. After the out.
break of hostiities many of the people left and
large proportion Of the FIVE hundred houses
set on fire were vacant or tenantcd only by
deserted slaves. The place was established
as u town in 1905, but the settlement began
previously to that date. The locality was
settled in 1910. The place was visited by
Capt. John Smith and others, who selected
the location for the first settlement in Vir-
Ginia, which was finally established at James
town.

dictator. But the people Of Virginia do not
exhibit the alaority Of spirit which had been
expected. Correspondents Of Southern news

and the newspapers are loudly rating them
Tor their want OF patriotism, and suggesting
