Arrest of q Notorious Charact.r.--sundry
Of the Virginia newspapers have recently
noted the passage through this city oil no.
-torieus Abolition incendiary, calling himself
VIM. II. Hurlbut, for many years one Of the
editors Of that despicabie sheet, the New York
Times. Hurlbut registered himself while here
as from Charleston, 5. c., and was evidently,
from his antecedents, on crusade devising
new expedients to please MS Black Republic
can employees, by disappearing the South
and deriving her institutions, as he had done
in years past on both sides Of We Atlantic for
filthy lucre. The hottie taken OF the fellow
caused the trail of the serpent to be watched,
and be was finally ovcrhaaed in Atlanta. Ga,
and imprisoned as a Spy. he arrived in Rich
m ond Yesterday evening in custody OF hve
Southern patriots, who delivered him over to
the authorities It is to be hoped that mis-
taken leniency will not permit the turning loose
! Of this man on the community again. Ii
dealt with according to his deserts, las ae-
| corded by all evidence on the suoject,) he
| should no doubt be speedily made to pay the
penalty of his numerous crimes by the Tor
FIXTURE of his worthless existence. Hurlout
claims to be native of South Carolina, but
the general supposition is that she was from
| home the night he made his entry into the
world.
The prisoner was speclaily III cnai 80
VIM. S. Bassford, of Atlanta. who, on his ar
rival here, delivered him to Gen. Davis, wh'
handed aim over to the Governor, VINO sen
him to jail. He will no doubt have al exami
nation to-day.
We learn that if Hurlbut escapes justice II
Virginia. there is now a warrant here fer III
arrest, issued by Judge Gilchrist of Charles
ton, S. c., on which he will be taken to tina
| city--a fact which must needs strike terror t

TO make n lot of leggings for the Zouaves for

Bea- A correspondent of the Bangor Whig
 tells the following very interesting anecdote of Washington
 Recent events have recalled very forcby to mind the following incident, which may perhaps prove interesting to your readers at the present time:
 Being on visit to Washington during the recess of Congress in the spring of l 957, walk one day with friend 10 view the works which were then already in progress for the extension of the Capitol. As we sauntered among the pillars in the basement of the old building, we fell in with venerable looking man, having the appearance of countryman, who seemed to be there upon the same business that we were. We entered into conversation with him, and he iu- formed us that he was Virginia man, raised q few miles down the river, not far from Mount l Vernon Very likely, then we remarked you may recolect General Washington Perfectly | we'll he replied Indeed, ] saw him when he laid the foundation of this building. l was but a boy then, he continued, but l remember very distinctly how he looked as he stood in this way over the stone and settled it in his place with pry. It was huge stone and as placed, 1t must have required no little strength to move It. But the General was a very athletic man, and moved it with apparent ease There were number or boys there from our neghborhood, and it was 8 standing marvel to us all, how the General nov ed that stone. 4 few days after, the General happened to be riding by our school-house on horseback as we were playing outside. We all pulled off our hats to him, and he stopped his horse for a moment and spoke to us very pleas- anty. One of the boys cried out Please Gen. eral, tell us how you moved that great stone, up wonder, the other day? Why, boys, said be, smiling, did 1 move the stone?" 70 yes, Gen eral, you moved it; we all saw you We'll boys said the General, looking very serious at us as he spoke, Do gou see dbat nobody crer moces hat stone dgain"'

OUR NATIONAL FLAG.

OUR NATIONAL FLAG. AIR" Woodman, spare that tree.'') Traitor spare that flag
 Great ensign of the free Long shall those stars and stripes Wave over land and sea, My childish eye beheld
 It with admiring gaze, And now in riper years,
 My tongue shall speak its praise. Traitor spare that flag, Erase no shining star, No murdrous hand like thine Its brilliancy shall mar. In youth its brightness fash'd Above my upturned brow, breath'd first meath it's folds-- I'll not forget it now. Traitor! spare that flag Twas ever true to thee, It speaks the voice of yore- Union and liberty. What demon spirit moves
 Thy misunderstanding arm, That now thy hand is stretch'd To do that standard harm? Traitor. spare that flag
 Bright banner of the free We're safe beneath it's shield, When on the land or sea, And when it floats above
 The homes in which we dwell, Union and liberty
 A pean loud shall swell. The world bcholds that flag Guarding Colunbias shoge.-- 0. let it be our pride,
 Till time shall be no more. Freemcn awake the shout From cast to western sea; That sound makes despots shake Union and liberty.

THE CHARLESTON RAFT TO TAKE FoRr SUM TER.-It is to bear heavy cannon, its artillerymen are to be sheltered by cotton bags, and its per pendicular sides are to be covered with iron plates. It is to bc showed ahead by steamboat, and when it gets under the walls scaling party is to mount them on ladders and the thing is done. Perhaps! Some military men entertain the opinion, however, that 1t will prove floating sarcophagus, and certainly if history is any teach CT, or experience any guide, we may predict for this scheme the same fate which befel the bat teries and rafts which were employed at the seige of Gibraltar in l78l.
 4 French engineer, the Chevalier D'Arcon, invented batteries with which he was certain he could capture the Rock. Ships were cut down and walled with timber, huge rafts were made of the same solidity, indestructble by fire, lined by sard and cork and so arranged as to be con- stantly kept wet. Roofs and sides were to throw off the glancing shot, and the latter, mounted with heavy cannon, were relied upon with con idence by the assaiants. After some hours fir ing, however, a raft on which the Prince of Nassau was stationed, took fire, and the French engineer, who was on board, perceived that his huge and unwieldy machine, covered with bull hides, COW hides and OK hides," began to smoke and soon after the whole fleet and hotilla, rafts and batteries were burned or knocked to pieces. The rafts could not be moved from their places and became the graveyards of their crews Suehswill be the fate of the Charleston raft as soon as it is towed if it can be, within range of the hot shot of Fort Sumter On so large an object every shot will tell
