Tho Reign OF Terror at wa.hinyto

The reign of terror at Washington has no paral-
lei in the history of the old United States, and is
| absolute as ever emanat0d from any despotism on
earth 1t seems strange that each suchhanded
usurpations as are daily brought to light should be
submitted to even by Northern men, and stranger
still that such tyranny should find single apologist
| in the South. Our boosted freedom of speech has
become q cruel mockery under the LINCOLN Admin
istratiOn. We have selected few paragraphs from
the Washington Star, which will give the reader
| some idea of the reign of terror which LINCOLN has
| inaugurated;
MoGE ARREsTs-This morning, squad of men,
detailed from Company A, Capt Darlington, Union
Regiment, ID. c. volunteers arrested Thos. Brown,
| Clerk of the Northern Market and David Muer.
Brown was taken before Justice johnson about
| III o'clock for hearing He was charged with
| U. M, ln1ammatory language and threats. large
number of witnesses are summoned against him;
| but they were not all present at the hour.
| Mayor Berret appeared at the Office and said he
| had been summoned. The justice replied that
| no summon had been issued for him, had
any been suggested by the defendant or his
| friends; but the suggestions of Mayor Berret, as
the friend of Brown, would be listened to- Coons |
Berret suggested to Rrewn to waive an examination
for the present; and to the magistrate he suggested
that Brown could be retained IN the central guard
house until the hour of trlal but the magistrate
| politely remarked that he thought the county jail
the most proper place, and committed Brown to jail
for hearing at five o'clock this afternoon. DAVID

The Reign of Terror a: the NORM.

The Boston Herald, of the 9th ult, gives the fcl~
| lowing incidents: -. -.r r.
At about liz clock Saturday night. a crowd of
young visited the residence of William II. At
wood in Prattyille Chelsea, filing into the yard and
| ris gng the door bell. The summons was answered
| by Mrs. Atwood who informed that they had
come to learn the sentiments of her husband the
present troubles. She replied that her husband was
not at home, but at his place of business Boston,
and assured then that ne was good Union man.
| At this time the daughters Of Mr.. Atwood. who
were On the of retiring to their chambers. be-
came so frightened at the crowd of pet pie around
| the house, that they raised window and shouted
| for help whsreupon the crowd left the premises
| and started down the street. When Mr.. Atwood re-
turned home he found his wife and children il such
state Of terror and fright that he obliged to
remain up with them all night Mr. A, who is one
of the best citizens of Chelsea. feels much injured
by the mob who visited his house, as he is q strong
Union man. and has never uttered dislOyl senti-
ment in his life
Two or three other houses were visited ty the
same crowd on Saturday night butno personal VIC
/ lence was committed. We understand that gen.
| tleman moved from Chelsea to Boston one day last
week on account of his loyalty to the Union being
| questioned by certain busy bodies. .t .s.
There is grand deal of feeling among the peace
able citizens of Chelsea at the present time in re-
gard to the highly mobocrac visits Of evil disposed
persons to the residences of citizens whose senti-
ment about the present state of affairs of the
try are maliciousy brought in question. One gen.
tleman became so alarmed, frightened by fears of
visit from some outsiders, that he has armed his
| household with rifles. . .... -... 81.

cannot but console them with the inspiring and
manly thought that his name now stands side by

TeAI Of The Sporting RiG by tue Military
Bsatd-CaII for 1900 Volunteers TO be
Armed with the Rifle and Minnie BAH.
1t will be seen by the report OF the trial, made
by the Military Board, of the ordinary sporting
rife with the Minnie ball that the exPcs ment is an
admirable SUCCESSIVE Minnie ball holding up with
great force and precision for four hundred yar's.
The Military Board have, in consequence, had
moulds prepared adapted to the bore of this weap-
on, and will prepare the balls for the use of such
corps as may be armed with them.
Mai Gen. ANDERSON has also issued call, which
we pdblish this morning, calling for 1000 rifemen,
whom he proposes to muster into the service
each volunteer to furnish his own weapon
and the State to furnish the Minnie
ball We trust that this call will be promptly re-
Sponded to by the brave young men of Tennessee
who are painting for action. There is ample
supply Of arms, to arm every regiment, which h 6
been accepted The arms of some, however, have
not been furnished, because they have not yet or
gained. their regiments. As soon as this is done
the arms will be placed in their hands. The call
for 600 rifemen is outside of the volunteers that
have been or may be mustered in, exclusive Of the
cali. We are grstifed to know that the work cen
n7cted with the ordnance department, under the
direction of Col. G. H. MoNsARsAT, is progressing
with great activity and proficiency. The
volunteers will in few days, receive
full equipments. SO far as they are now
wanting. More than $50 hands actively en-
ployed in manufacturing the various articles need
ed for the service. There is also call for the pur
chase of shot guns, in this department, which are
by many considered superior to the carbIne. The
carbines in the arsenal also being put in perte
order
We woul2 reiterate, that we expect to see the
ranks filed up, in very few days, with the rifle
men called for. These are the men with whom

dams and British. Let them come forward and re
