FROM THH NoRTH.-Returned prisoners from the
North represent the dissatisfaction ameng the northern
people and soldiers at MsClelan's removal as very
great. Many of the soldiers openly denounced the
act and swore they would not fight any longer-some
cursed and some cried-but all were soon Queted by
military discipline. Two of McClellan's aids have
been arrested Gen. Mcclellan while at Trenton n.
J., visited by numerous delegations from northern
cities who were indignant at his removal. In short
speech he made this significant remark "Whle the
army is fighting, you, citizens, that the is

ARREsTED.-A Yankee, with papers on his
person showing that his name is Saml r. Ssulis-
bury, and that he is soldier in the Thirty Sec
ond Regiment Ohio Volunteers, was arrested on
the line of the Piedmont Railroad and brought to
this place Saturday last, and after an examina-
ton was had in the matter he was placed in the
county Jail. He claims to be deserter. That
he fell out, and deserted from his regiment when
in the neigborhood of Winchester, Va, with the
object Of delivering himself to the Confederate
authorities, by whom he would be paroled and al
lowed to return to his home in Mansfield, Ohio.
But from the fact of his having discharge from
one of the Richmond hospitals, and the circuitous
route he was taking to find the Confederate au-
thorities to surrender himself to- the presumption
is, that far from being deserter, he is regu-
larly dispatched emissary sent South for the COM
mission of such deeds as only Yankees are capable
of, and to act the spy generally. There is no
the number of such characters all
through the country; tho people be too
vigilant in watching for them and arresting them
Let every stranger be required to give an account
of himself. Such course result in no harm
and will be the means of detecting numbers OF
men who are struggling over the country as spies
and emissares of the Lincoln government
