demanding that Brown be delivered up TO

in front of the Provost Marshals office.
Brown was threatening to fire upon the
mntineers when the train left.
"A scout has just arrived here from SPRING

connected with the government of Gen'l
Banks and Stones command is conducted
with the utmost searesy and the most
anxious searchers after knowledge cannot
obtain any reliable Intelligence in adj
vance, This of course is serious disap-
pointment to those whoswonld diyulge the

the welfare and interests of our country
and its government. e1ls. tdicsit

onous compound to create the greatest dis
turbance. During the reign of its iuflu-
ence an ARRAY occurred, in which one Cfti-
zen was killed, two or three wounded, and
several horses and cattle shot.
On the facts Transporting, Gen. Banks is
sued an order for all the liquor found in
the lines of our pickets to be indiscrimi-
uately DESTROYED, and those found selling ii
to be arrested
To-day man succeeded,i ntconcealing a
barrel in the woods and supplied liquor to
tho passing soldiers. Adj.t Gen. Stone
and Surgeon Dina ofthe 18th N. Y, ferret
ed him out, arrested him and turned him
over to Provost Marshal Stone. He gave
the name of Joseph Trail. His rvillainou:
beverage was destroyed on the spot.
