himself for the interruption, asked 10 see two
OF them in the hslI, on private business
These we're "captain" J. X. Sutterlay and
&C tptatn" Weatheriy. They immediat e!y left
the TAI BILE and went out with him. When ON.
side the door the detective drew ont an Off
cial document and intimated that their pres
ence was required Al the chiefs office. Mr.
SntteTley became very much agitated, and
Mr. Wea theriy seemed likewise alarmed: BIZ,
they hesitated not Il nomen; to ACCOMPANY
the oIit3er, who took them 10 the FIRST dis

these reports we give for what they are worth,
aud DO not affirm their truth, because we dc
not even know upon what evidence or bv what
means of discovery their arrest war deter

something more than mere suspicion In thu.
case.
-. X. Sutterey is n Northerner by birth and
lived for some time in Chicago, where he
joined the Chicago Zouaves, commanded by
Ellsworth. He was with them n the famous
exhibition trip they made to New York city
He came 20 this city about ten mon tbs ago,
and obtalued the privilege of keeping Il peri
odical depot At the City Hotel. About four or
five months since he obta lined Il similar pr.
yilege AT the ~ Charles HoteI, and erected 4
stand theresa we'll known TO most OF o1r
retders-where he sold books, papers, ana
other articles, without much regard to their
Inorallty-Ts might say, deCenCy.
From his military experience in the ranks
OF the Chicago Zouayas. he WAS we'll qualified
20 drill the m uititudinous com piinies Of vol
unteers that prang from the ranks of our citi
gems when the war commenced IN earnest He
soon discovered this, and made his 4 hi tities
known. This put Ill his WAY a handsome
revenue. icr he gave great satisfaction as an
instructor, having 4 peculiar tact for i'm
parting military knowledge to men and
teaching companies the popular proHcienciee
Of the ZouaIe system, including the bayone,
exercise.
Besides several city companies S1r Sutterley
went into the country and drilled the Roseale
Guards, of West Feliciana, and other col ps
He made money, and appeared to spend it
tresiy- He soon gained an extensive militia
acquaintance, and thus mad peculiar opportu-
mites. II he chose to exercise them, OF learn
ing military movements and facts in this
department. Some think that, through III.
periodical business, he also had urusu;ll facil
tiles for sending Information 70 the North -
Even after the interruption of Communication
through Kentucky he did some business in
Memphis and Richmond papers.
What most probably brought suspicion upon
MN, IN The nrst place, was his having inserted
IN tue editorial columns OF Il contemporary
the following paragraph, which appeared on
Sunday morning:
" Va learn that 1iT. j K. Sutterley of the
news room. St. Charles Hotel to whom we
nave Deem indebted for SO many faYors in the
news way, naS been appointed All Aid with
the rank OF Captain ON the staff OF Brigadier
General J Johnston, and Will imInediateiy join
his regiment in the West"
II Mr.. Sutterley has been arrested in error,
he VIII have a fair chance OF meeting his &C
cusers and the proof Cainst him this morning
when he IS TO have a 1uil examination before
the Governor ard Ger TWiggs lit true
rs charged, that he IS spy o! the Lincoln
Government, then he has been pia ing high
game and 2 bold one, ;.nd like many other
ccnsummate sGhemers nis last stroke @,
policy was 4 fatally foolish one
AS 1or Captain " eatherIv, we know moth
ing OF MIN that W" can speak Of with any
thing like positive assurance. When he was
Il
OF this city for three ysars. and yFas well
known 10 be loyal Southerner II this be
true he can ea3iiy prove 1t. we suppose.
