ALEXANDRIA AFFAIRss-from ne Alexendria
Chronicle Of Yesterday we make up the following
GEN Montgomery has issued an order declaring
that ssthe practice Of making offensive remarks
and demonstrations to the guards, military men,
and Union citizens Of this city, by females and
others Of secession proclivises viii no longer be
tolerated. All those offending In such matters
viii hereafter be promptly arrested and treated as
the circumstances may reQuire.o
The FIRE Of Monday night consumed the old
Gazette ONCE, Tin which was published the Local
News, the residence Of Mr. Entwisle, and Mr..
Steyenson's boarding house.
Charles Adams, a well secessionist Of
Alexandra, was arrested on Monday by a couple
OF soldiers and taken before Capt. Gearheart, OF
the sth Illinois cavalry, upon suspicion Of having
been outside the lines for some time, and In ccm-
munication with the rebels. On the recon-
mendation Of Mayor McKeRzie, Adams was re-
leased from custody by Capt. Gearheart. Sub
seQuently Adams was again arrested by order
Of Major Gle, field officer Of the day, and con-
fined in the slave pen; but, upon the arrival Of
Gen. Montgomery from Washington, Adams was
again set at liberty.
Much excitement has been occasioned by the
arrest Of the Rev. Mr.. Stewart, who, in spite of
circumstances and warnings, persisted in para
ding his rebel proclivities in the pulpit On Sun
day, upon emitting az usual the prayer for the
President and Congress, citizen In the pew with
Captain Farnsworth, Of the 6th Illinois cavalry
quietly requested the minister to read that portion
omitted in the prayer. This, with q second re-
quest, was not needed, when the Captain said !:
Sir, insist upon 1t that you read the prayer Of
our church, as prescribed by its forms, for the
President Of the United States OF America" The
parson still continued the services without pay
Ing the slightest attention to the request, where
upon the Captain directed Sergeant Kinley to AZ
rest the traitor on the spot.
Sergeant Kinley walked up to the pulpit and
merely laid his hand upon the arm of the rebel
parson, saying: am ordered to arrest you, sir;
you s must asSOnnas your professional iseo,s
geant's hand on, struck a theatrical attitude
which he had evidently studied for the occasion,
and got of melo-dramatic speech commencing,
''I arraign you, sir, befOre.the bar Of b. Heav-
en-" &c &c. Here the captain stepped up,
with some other officers, and the reverend traitor
was gently helped from the pulpit.
An attempt was made by several Of the congre-
CATION to rescue the clergyman, but the hrmness
and decision Of the officers held them in check
and Mr. Stewart was handed over to Gen. Mont
gomery, who telegraphed to the State Department
Tor instructions; Upon receiving, In reply, an
his discretion, Gen Montgomery set the reverend
gentleman at liberty.
