FrRTsgR ARRESTS UsDEs INSTRUCTIONS PROM
GOV. HicKs-MR. 6. IL. LYON AND NH. SHUT
ugoraBT TO PORT M'HgSRY.
Editors IF Erchdnge-Permitm me to give You
r, port OF the arrest OF two gentlemen In
Cambridge Dorchester county, last night at
l2o'clock NJ. The name of one is Samuel II
Lvon, and that of the other, so far as i could
ascertain is Shut, both from Baltimore
They went yesterday to Eas;on and crossed
over 10 Cambridge, where they spent the
night. They had in their employ two young
men from Charles county, J. II. Cusick and
Murphy, who represent that they had come
up the bay Tor the purpose OF fishing, and
having fallen In with the above named gen.
tleInen, had been engaged by them.
Mr. Lyon being recognized BIZ Judge Spence,
of Cambridge, and Judge Spence expressing
his suspicious about his intentions, he re-
ceived from Governor Hicks, now here, au-
ihority TO have the parties arrested
They were eonseq nentIy taken out OF their
bees BY squad of the dorchester Union
Quarts and lodged in jail. Their baggage was
searched, and the Governor asserted to the
captain OF the Pioneer this morning that there
were found six ps tolls and about one dozen
bowie knives and Gu tlasses which, it was sup
posed BY him, these gentlemen intended to
carry into Virginia.
Upon the ARRIVAL Of the Pioneer this morn
ing, 9 o'clock, the prisoners were escorted on
board by 4 number of the Guards, under COM
rand of Lieutenant Coburn. The excitement
at the wharf was immense. There were re-
pe1ud cheers for jeff. Davis, and an alterca-
ton took place between Governor Hicks and
lir. Muse, who was very much excited. Mr.
Ballard, 4 lawyer, tried his utmost to sue out
writ OF habe1S corpus. The excitement rose
10 such Il pitch that the soldiers charged upon
the crowd, and several cooked their guns and
took aim, and were with difficulty persuaded
10 abstain from shedding the blood of their
townsmen.
| saw myself some Of the boyish looking
privates take deliberate aim on some of their
particular enemies in the crowd, and had
much trouble in pers uading them to desist -
Whether this show of determination in them
10 kill WAS only assumed or real, ] cannot
pretend TO say. AT any rate, the excitement
Was SO great that the Captain having the
prisoners and eleven men with Lieut.. Coburn
on board, ordered the boat to shove off, and
left the rest of the Guard at the landing, yo-
ciferating and fighting, our Governor being in
the midst eff them.
The men say the prisoners were part of q
party OF eight men, who were travelling nto
Virginia with arms, and that one OF them had
h commission in the Southern army.
The party We're accompanied by Nh Rob-
inson, who claimed to be q sort of civil au.
thority, ting under the military. This is an
exact and truthful report of what was an
eye aud ear witness to, l being then q passen-
ger on board the Pioneer.
Friday, July II, 1851.
We learn from other sources that the pris.
onerg brought mp were Messrs Lvon. q. w
Ales ander, and two others, named Uusick
and Murphy. Although they were arrested
upon civil process, for 'aiding and abettina
jefferson Davis. and lsvying war against the
United States" they were treated with every
indisnity, and on applying to Gov. Hicks to
b. treated with decency. and not as felons,
received from him the ans wer that they were
in TIE hands Of the military, and that he had
nothing TO DO with the matter.
