ArnoId Harris ana Harry maGraw.

Arnold Harris ana Harry maGraW.
A Richmond correspondent Of the Charles
ton Mercury, writing on the 4th August, says
The two prisoners-Arnold Harris and Har-
~ Magraw-who were taken after the battle,
when in search Of the body Of Cameron, the
brother OF Simon Cameron (Lincoln's secre-
tary Of war are in the county Jail, separate
from the others. Until within d few days ego,
they were allowed to receive visitors. No one,
except their physician, is permitted to visit
them now. Harris has many friends here,
and Magraw has some. Extraordinary efforts
were made in their behalf, especially for Har-
ris, to have them released on parole. Harris
was out in the city for several hours each day,
the first few DAYS after they were brought to
Richmond. What the cause Of these fresh re-
strictions are l canRot learn. | learn tiat
President Davis was appealed to earnestly by
his personal friends for HdTris,-b but be re-
manned inexorable.
Harris had always been regarded as a friend
Of the southern cause. He WEs so regarded
ia Washington three months ago. His family
is in the South. He was, at one time, many
years ago, an Cdicer Of the United States army,
appointed either by Gen. Jackson or Mr.. Polk,
from Tennessee. His wife is the daughter Of
the late Gen. Robert Armstrong, OF Tennessee.
After the death Of Gen. Armstrong, Harris
conducted, as the executor Of bis will, the
business of the Washington Uhi0B newspaper,
for the benefit of the family. He was known
as the active personal political friend OF Doug
las. MagraW was known in Washington as
the factotum Of Mr.. Buchanan. He bad been
auditor Of the State of Pennsylvania. Both
these men were rePuted rich at o8s time; Ma
graw is now perhaps; bur Judge Douglas made
a large hole in Harris fortune. Harris, it was
supposed, had an interest in contracts with
the Lincoln government, and, in that case,
would be an enemy; but he protests that be
has not. Though these prisoners do not ap-
prehend any punishment, beyond confinement,
they are not likely to be released at present.

MOVEMENT OF Arkansas TRooPs.-A let
ter received in this city a day or two since,
from Col. Hindman, states that on the evening
Of the Let inst, Col. Cleburne and himself,
with six companies from each regiment,
making in all twelve companies, would leave
the camp for the purpose OF attacking a force
Of 1000 federal troops, encanped at Cedar
creek, Madison county, Missouri. The dis
lance to the federal camp was only about
sixty or seventy miles, and we may very
reasonably conclude that unless Col. Bland,
the officer in command Of the Hessians, has
fallen back on the approach Of the Arkansas
troops, an engagement has already taken
place. No fears, we think. need be entertain
ed Of the result, with anything like equal
chances as the Arkansas troops have not en-
listed in the service with a view to defeat

CAMP on BROAD Run NzAn NAx4,sas,

August ., 1871.
EDIroRs APPEAL: Ny last letter was writ
ten from our camp on Bull Run, and was lost
or misplaced by the bearer, in taking it TO the
Office. We moved here on the 5th instant for
the purpose Of securing a more healthy loca-
ton, and I imagine also, to keep the enemy
from crossing over and getting possession of
this railroad and burning the bridges. The
Virginia line is only twsnty-one miles distant,
which would be an easy lays march in case OF
4 desired attack at this point. We are en-
cauped on an elevated place and convenient to
several springs, the wans of which at our
camps on Bull Run and other local causes,
almost made a wreck OF our regiment. With
tie exception If measles, which is taxing its
course through all our companies, there are
no contagious diseases prevailing. The health
Of our regiment is gradually improving. Our
sick are returning from the hospitals and we
hope soon TO be restored to our original size
and humber.
Ia moving our camp eqUiPlgs, baggage, ETC,
from Winchester, our regiment suffered heavy
losses in tie way Of clothing and numerous
articles necessary TO camp life. Il was left
almosE entirely exposed to the temptation Of
those who are disposed to rife and steal. ana

a rRUiTEEss PROEECT.

The northern Democracy, which now con
~stitutes tie peace party in that section, is still
battling against wind and tide for the ascen-
dsHcy Of those principles of the old federal
Constitution, whose ruthless violation has
signalizad the LINCOLN administration. For
their noble efforts they have our gratitude, as
they will have that of posterity.
But one Of the plaRks of their platform we
deem very speculative, so much 50, indeed, as
to render it quite worthless, except, perhaps,
for purposes OF buncombe. The late Demo
cratic convention for instance, which assem-
bled on the It'll inst, at Columbus, Ohio, with
every evidence Of eaTnestness, recommended
that "the legislatures Of the several States adopt
the proper measures for calling a National
Convention for the purpose of settling our
present difficulties, and restoring and preserv-
ing the Union" Now this may do very well
as a plank in a party platform, where it is
understood that everything is patched up thee
r~eticslly for mere effect; bat further than this
it is delusion and a snare, " full Of sound and
fury signifying nothing" Il will be better
for our friends across the line not to base
their opposition to LINcoLN's atrocities upon
80 hfmsy a pretext as that they interfere with
Settling our present difficulties, and restoring
and preserving the Union" Let them fight
the i5humsn principles of the abolition code
with some more plausible weapon, and aban-
don one which their sdversaries laugh to scorn,
in consequence of its impotence. We fear
that if THE triumph of the peace party in the
North depends upon the contingency expressed
in this plank, it may as well throw up the
sponge at once and meekly confess defeat with
out another days struggle. There will be a
better prospect Of peace to its ashes than its
efforts.

Riot ut Harrisburg

A fierce riot occurred among the returned
volunteers at Harrisburg, Pa, on the 9th ult.,
in consequence Of the neglect of the federal
government to pay them off. The Harrisburg
Patriot says:
A large number OF the volunteers concentrst-
ed in the market square,, who had expected to
spend the Sabbath at home, became clamorous,
some of them exceedingly Infatuated. An efigy,
labeled "Paymaster," was hung on the lamp
post in front of the Jones house, which was set
on FIRE and consumed amid the huZZas Of the
soldiers. While the coniagration was going
on, the Twelfth regiment Of reserves marched
in from Camp Curtin and charged dow Second
street.
The returned volunteers being without arms,
gave way. The cry was then raised, "To the
arsenal for your armsI " and the crowd CON-
menced rushing in that direction. The Twelfth
went up Third street at double quick time, and
succeeded in surrounding the arsenal before
the volunteers could get any arms out Of it.
Some Of the volunteers got an old dismounted
cannon and drew It down to the square on a
dray, with the aVOwed intention of "blowing
up the paymsster." 1t was subsequently taken
back.
The threats to hang the p4ymaster were very
fierce, end the Jones house, in which be was
stopping, was guarded by soldiers OF the
Twelfth regiment.
Order was finally restored on a promise to

Hard Case.

The editor Of the Charlestown (Ys.) Ere:
Press says in mis- issue Of August ID:
On no othor spot than Charlestown are the
citizens more peculiarly situated. They are.
in fact, between the devil and the wide ocean.
II you get up early in the morning to go to
yo9r daily occupation, you are met al YOUR
threshold by a sentinel, who cries out, Z" We're
Won go?'' If you answer, about your business,
q bayonet is presented, and an exclamation,
"Go pack-go in te house." At every cross
road, almost, you are hailed and detained.
How long will this Internal interference pre-
vail?
Abiding to the invasion Of Charlestown by
the HessiaDs, the editor says:
Tie field upon which old John Brown and
his confederates were hung, was visited by
thousands Of the army, and a locust tree under
which, o waggish boy said, "John Brown
made bis last spcech"-and which, by the way,
