A SHARP TKICK.-A HsgerstoWn letter saws:
You were told in q former letter of the arrest
of r. II. Alvey. The importance of the event
Is scarcely exceeded by the manner in which
il was consummsted. and which is worth rels-
ting. Capt. Billy MeMuIlin, of the Philadel-
phia Independent Rangers, who as Gen Pat
tersou's bDdy guard, is the " sharp man Of
this military division. One night last wesk q
picket guard stopped q man on the road to
HagerstOun, who answered the guards in
quiries by saying that he wished to see Gen
Patterson; but when about to be introduced at
headquarters wished to evade the interview
He was Instantly seired and searched, and dis
patches were found upon him from the re bel
Gen. Johnston 10 Mr- Alvey. McMullen forth
with stripped the rebel spy, dressed one of his
own men in the rebels clothes, gave him John j.
sons letter. and started him of 10 see Mr.. Al
vey. The dispatches, however, had been nice
ly opened, copies taken, and then resealed.
hcMuillu's man was received by Alvey,
who thus Tell into the trap most beautifully.
Alvey unfolded all his plans, and gave him
written answers to Johnston 8 dispatches The
supposed friendtcOnyeyed Alyey's documents
20 Gen. Patterson. The arrest took place
quietly the next day. When Alvey was con-
frootsd with the documents and the indisputa-
Bile evidence Of his own treaehery, il il said he
uas completely unmanned, and sunk under
tbs burthen nf bis guilt.

himself much delighted with the appearance

acknowledges that they compare most favor
ably with the troops of the Confederate army
IN all respects. more particularly in their
moral and disciplinary character. I learn
from him that he will devote letter to the
Times to his impressions of Camp Defiance and
its surroundings. Mr. Russell appears a very
cordial and courteous gentleman, and has

as to materially change their character.
