weeks since at Port Tobacco, Md by Captain
Darlings expedition, Of Mr.. g. T. Taliaferro.
formerlys Department clerk, will be remembered
He was charged with being on bis way to give
shown duplicating him, and be was disch arg ed
When arrested q revolver (Colt's) was found upon
him. This weapon was retained for a short time
by Gen Manifold, who afterwards sent it to
Justice Dom, with directions to give II to the
owner. Mr.. Clement l.. West, Il seems thea
called on the Justice and requested hi to retain
the revolver until claim Of his on IL could be
settled with Mr.. T. From the subsequent devel-
opments In the case II appears that the nature Of
the claim OF Mr.. West was this: At the time when
an attack on Washington was apprehended the
arms. A United States musket thus came Into the
possession Of Mr.. Talaferro Hunter a nephew Of
Mr.. I. ., and the nephew, previous TO his de-
parture South, presented the musket TO his uncle,
(Mr Taliaferro.) This musket was traded by Mr.
T. for the revolver in dispute with Mr.. West,
with the condition, Ii IN said, that IL the musket
was claimed by the Government Mr.. Talaferro
should pay to Mr.. West sI3 IS. The musket was
claimed by the Government, hence the claim Of
Mr.. West for the pistol or its value, agreed
upon. When Mr.. T. took the oath Of allegiance
q few DAYS since he went to Justice Dom to get
the pistol, when the Justice told him Of MIR
VESTS claim. Mr.. Taliaferro, II seems, then
agreed to pay the value Of the revolver aad Mr.
West told the Justice to deliver the pistol to him.
but, 1t seems, that Mr. T changed his mind about
paying, which caused Mr.. w to change his about
the DELAY, and he protested against Squire Donn's
delivering the pistol until the Sl3 IS should be
paid. Yesterday Mr.. I. applied for the revolver,
on Justice Dom by Deputy Marshal Philips, and
the usual forms having been complied with, the
pistol was surrendered to the Marshal and by him
TO Mr.. Taliaferro. About half an hour after the
service of the writ Of replevin above mentioned,
Mr.. Taliaferro was arrested by Oticer Williams
upon charge Of sslling a musket, the property Of
the United states, knowing the same to be Gov.
ernm'nt property. Taliaferro was taken before
Justice Dom and required to give bail for
further hearing, MIR. 4. Smithson, banker, be.
coming his security in the sum Of 1865.
