The Winchester Republican furnishes the
subj oined interes ting particulars OF the arrest
and release OF the Hon. Alexander r. Botelsr
blythe Yankee troops:
cit appears that he was arrested by the
order Of Colonel Leonard, of The thirteenth
Massachusetts Regiment. ct the instance las
Colonel l.. assured Mr.. Boteler) OF the
sUnion men" living On both sides Of the Po-
tomac, who had informed him CT Mr. u. g
return homs, and had represented him the
chief instigator Of the guerilla war along that
portion OF the border, as we'll of the dam
age done to the canal, railroad, &c, &c. In
short, he was represen tsd as the head devil"
In all thai had been done to the detriment OF
the Yankee cause in that locality"
Mr.. Boteler demanded TO be confronted with
the low, sneaking traitors who had preferred
th6se charges against him, ard Dol. Icons I'd
consented 70 send for them. MIR. b. very well
knew that the cowardly hounds would never
dare show themselves, and SO told the Colonel;
bot ne appeared confident OF securing their
attendance. as they had so earnestly impor-
tuned for Mr.. H. arrest. plejging themselves
to attend at moments warning, and substan-
tiate the charges. They did not come IF course,
so MIR Il. demanded his release, as they had
no witnesses to substanttats their charges
against him. This Col. Leonard (who Mr.
Bote,er represented rs being quite gentleman
in his heaIing,) ut length reluctantly consent
ed TO do.
During Mr.. II. 8 stay In tbs Yankee camp, he
awaited himself of the opportunity to tell the
officers good many wholesome truths in re.
gard to their prospects for subjugating the
South. He assured them that the entire South
men, women, children, negroes, dogs and
ali--were thoroughly united and determined
never to be conquered, Or continue longer
