In Duress-We made number of inquiries
yesterday rs to the disposi ton in tended to be
made of the man VIM. II. Hurlbut, whose
arrest at Atlanta, Ga, and subsequently re-
moval to this city, was mentioned in yester-
days paper. We could, however, get hold of
nothing definite. If any examination was
held it WAS not concluded, the accused having
been remanded to prison, which, in his case, is
the extensive es establishment on the hill south
east of Hollywood Genet cry. The public
seemed to be- fully impress sed with the con
viction that Hurlbuts de ten ton is a measure
eminently tending to ward the security of the
rights and liz teres Is of the Confederate States
which have been and are serious embarrassed
by the presence and Vaccinations of spies and
traitors who have too long gone unwhipped
of that equal and exact justice which is their
due. If Hurbut does, by his superior cum
ming, effect his liberation, the people will
jealously scrutiniZe the agencies by which
such a result may be produced, and it will be
done with no friendly feeling, 100.
z. S.-We learn sin ce the above was writ
ten, that Hurlbut will be held TO await the
requisition of the Governor of South Caro-
lima, on Judge Giichrist's warrant. The
proof of his guilt is said to be ample in
Charles ton, and the witnesses who are en-
abled to testify knowingly, reside in that
vicinity.

II /. certainly amusing and absurd enough
to see civilians made Generals, but when po-
liticai newspapers soberly discuss the plans
and movements Of these martial pretenders,
we can no longer doubt that there is humor-
Gus side even TO war, and that 1t has its farce
as we'll as its tragedy. Major Gen. BUTLER,
who Is a Massachusetts, attorney, writes long
rigmarole to the War Department at Washing
ton about his purposes and movements, and
the disson ant brayings of this ass IN hons
skin pass with the credulous multitude for the
genuine roar of the veri,able king of beasts.
Another of their Generals-one SCHENCK, of
Ohio, a coarse, vulgar, Buckeye lawyer, and
pot-housc politician, gave specimen of his
military genius at Vienna, and made report
to the commanding officer at Washington
which is disgusting from its assumption of
military knowledge, and shows him to be as
audacous in disregard of truth as he is incom-
petent in the presence Of an enemy. But the
criticisms of the Philadelphia North american
upon this General are as absurd as that re-
doubtable warrior himself, The american
complains that when fred on by masked
battery, there was no effort made to get out of
the way :" the most unjust ch"rge that was
ever brought against the no or any other
militia. So far from this h. true, there
was not man in ScHEScK's whole command
who did not exert himself in the most prompt
and interchangeable manner to get out of the
way" as speedily as possible. The american
says "it was incumbent on Gen. SCHESCk to
have his force in position to either fight or run
away" forgetting that their position for adopt
ing the latter alternative was the best, with
the exception of Gen. Buffers arrangement
at Great Bethel, which has yet been taken
during the war. We have no means of ascer-
tanning the exact time which was made by
ScHENcK's men at Vienna, 50 as to institute a
comparison between the foot race on the Vienna
course and at Great Bethel; but there need be
no jealousy between the friends Of BUTLER and
SCBENCK. The first kept out of the way, and
the last got out Of the way, which is all that
can be asked Of the highest militia officer 5
genius in the ranks of Cur enemies. 1t is all,
indeed, that the South demands OF any one

coming.

The death of CAyoUR has cast an ominous
cloud over the Frightening morning OF the
Italian cause. The conviction is gaining
ground that hence forth the King OF SARDINIA
will be reduced to the condition of Satrap
of the great king at Paris. Beautiful Italy
A doom Of woe has that fatal gift of beau
ty been. Still, as for six centuries, she is to
be the handmade Of foreign masters, the Bris-
els of contendng chiefs, with no more design
on the part of AgamemnOn than OF Achilles OF
setting her free, though they quarrel for her
possession Her tragic destiny, which has
made her woes the wall of poets, from DANTE
to ALFIERI, is not yet accomplished. The liber
ties and the lives of her people are the mere
pawns of the game which inscriptions aspi-
rants play for their own ACKNOWLEDGEMENT.
A change of masters is to be the only result
of the magnificent struggle of Italy under the
craftsmanship of Victor Emmanuel and Louis
NAPOLEON: The only liberal statesman of Eu-
rope, capable Of evoking order from chaos, Ct
consolidating Italian interests and sentiments,
of developing her material growth and train
ing Italy to capacity for constitutional Gov
eminent, has been struck down in his vigorous
prime. The great conservative political re-
former of Italy is dead, and we see no refuge
for her from the MAzzINIs and the Red Re-
publicans but the protection of the great En-
peror of the French.
There is this consolation that, if the domi-
mating influence over Italy is to be transferred
from the Austrian Kaiser to NAPOLEON Ill,
she will at all events have master whom she
will not blush to own. The heavy, soulless
Austrian despotism will gradually give way
before an influence which, while pervading and
powerful ms the atmosphere, will press as
lightly and impereeptibly upon those whom il
surrounds. The King of Sardinia will re-
ceiye some new dominions from his suzerain a
Paris, which will reconcile him to the policy
that he must hereafter receive from LOUIS Ma
PoLEoy instead Of CAvouR.

The Northwest,

Two con siderations have been the govern
traitors in the Northwest-to avoid the troubles
of war and the payment of taxes. We ap
prehend that they viii not be successful in
either of these heroical and honorable objects.
On the contrary, the Northwest is precisely
that part of Virginia which has now more
trouble, Affections and terror than any other,
aud is likely to have more and more till the
end of the present contest. The traitors who
have established reign of terror there ana
compelled faithful citizens to fly for their lives,
may have it all their own way for time, and,
except the self reproaeh which men guilty of
such crimes must suffer, may feel no special
Inconvenience at the present moment. But
the hour of retribution is ut hand the State Of
Virginia will assert her sovereignty with all
he power at her command upon every inch OF
her territory, and then we shall see on which
side we shall have the Reign of Terror, and
who it will be that will invoke the rocks
and mountains to fall upon their heads
Just as in the case of the American Revo-
luton, the strife between the patriots and
Tories was more fierce and relentless
than that between the patriots and their
common enemies, so the strife in North
western Virginia will be the most ter
rife and implscable that has occurred during
this whole war. Instead of being a place OF
refuge and safety, or bed of roses, it will be
come before many months have passed a
red-hot gridiron on which CARLILE & Co.,
unless they fly across the Ohio, will be burnt
TO cinder. The path of duty in war as well
as in peace, is always the path of happiness
and generally of safety. Those communities in
the South which have remained loyal to their
native land, are happy, peaceful, contented,
and mostly secure from invasion. South Car
DINA piucked her flower Of safety from the
very jaws of danger, and it is only State.
which have wavered or been untrue that
have been the scene of diseord and bloodshed.
The hour of vengeance in the Northwest is al
hand the time is coming aud the man. and
then let traitors look out for their lust and
righteous DOOM 8

Wheeler d. Wilson. Certain parties re-
joicihg in the above names have made inde-
pendent fortunes out of the Southern people
by establishing agencies in our various cities,
and selling their sewing machines at exorbi-
tant rates. Allusion has been made in the
Dispatch to the fact that the firm of Wheeler
Il Wilson had presented flags to the New
York, Pennsylvania and Connecticut Regi-
ments. With the proverbial cuteDess of such
persons, this may have been done rs an ad-
vertisement. Even thus considered, it be-
trays hostility to the South that should not
go unrebuked Wheeler & Wilson have an
Office for the sale of their machines in this
city, next to Mr.. Sam1 d. Demons bell and
brass foundry. A communication from a well
known citizen addressed to the editors of the
Dispatch abiding to Wheeler It Wilson, says
1.-THE flag referred to in your paper of the
2lst inst. as presente' by Wheeler i Will
son, of New York, is now on the soil of Vir-
ginia, in the hands of the in vadng foe and
the Office Of Wheeler Wilson is on Main
street in the city of Richmond, and their rep
resentative has been twice within six weeks
to New ork-of course for the sole benefit OF
the South ]. w. d.
In addition to the above, the reporter is In
formed by Mr. Alfred Inloes. formerly Alder
man for Jefferson Ward, that E. II. Craige
the Richmond agent of the pestiferous crea-
lures above named, has been at least one time
before Mayor Mayo, on suspicion of hostility
to the South. The reporter does not know
Mr.. Craiges sentiments, but he thinks he
would bear being carried before the Mayor
once more. Let the authorities of the Confed-
crate Government confscate the sewing ma
chimes owned by Wheeler & Wilson in
Craige's keeping, as contraband Of war.
The reporter does not know Mr.. Craige per-
sonally, and therefore cannot be accused OF
wishing to iniure him socially or in his bus
relations. Any hurt tina. his position
enables him to inflict on Wheeler s. Wilson
or their business, is praiseworthy to the ex-
ten that one is justifiable in discOmfltiug an
enemy OF the realm.

Bad BOys.-Four lads of small SIZE named
Daniel Murphy, Pat. Csllaher, Thos. Dooson
and Mat. Callaher, were carried before the
Mayor yesterday for disorderly conduct and
breaking the door of Mrs. L. Fenhauser. 1t
appears that the lads on u onday entered the
compla inant's house (she keeps an eating
establishment and called for refreshments,
which they utterly refused to pay for. Think
ing that she could manage them by Il little
judicious coercion, madame closed her door
and announced that they could not leave till
they had settled up. This did not have the
desired effect, for vigorous assault was i'm
mediately commenced on Mrs. f. and her

latter kicked open in the melee. Daniel

offenders, and wisely concluding it would not

tenders therein, sent them back to the cage
for brief season.
