Who IS REBEL!-1'his is pertinent
inquiry just now Who is rebel? On this
point the New York Times says:
"Whoever is against the Constitution of
the United States in whole or in part, ia
spirit or in letter, is a rebel. Whoever is
against any Of the laws of onr government,
whether they relate to fugitive slaves or Of
freemen. Is rebel. Whoever insists that a
law of Congress can be violated any more in
New York or Massachusetts, than in South
Carolina or Alabama is a rebel. LIE, us
make clear and clean work of our loyalty,
and apply to it the rigid rule that he who Of
fends in one point otfends in ALL"

stars and stripes that he had enlisted, and
begged an interest in the prayers of the
church, that he might be protected by Di.
vino Providence on the battle field, and that
if he shonld fall a victim to the bullets of the
enemy he might be prepared for the change.
Such speech at any time would thrill
with patriotic fervor the brave heart of our
worthy minister, and he consequently spoke
few words of encouragement to the hero.

Complaint Against Gen. Wool.

HARR1sBURG, Oct. 28.-Rev. Charles A.
Hay, pastor of the Lutheran church, was ar
rested, to-day, and taken to Baltimore, by or
der of Gen. Wool. The cause of the arrest is
supposed to be a communication, signed by
Mr., Hay published in the Daily Telegraph
censuring the authorities of Baltimore be-
cause of the difficulties experienced by the
friends of Union wounded soldiers in procur-
ing the privilege of taking them home and at
tending to their wants, while rebel sympathiz.
ers are freely accorded similar privilege in
aid of rebe; prisoners. A committee of citi-
zens has gone to Washington to lay the facts
of the case before the president and obtain the
release of the prisoner.

A Traitor in Oaice-Curious Disclosures.


From the Washington SUNDAY Chronicle, Oct 49,
There are certain facts connected with Jas.
M. Wright, confidential clerk in the adju-
tant generals Office at the war department.
which we feel bound to give to the public.
He lives III Prince Georges county, Maryland,
just outside of this district. Some time since
he went to a neighbor, Mr.. Joseph Gregory,
who has three sons, told him that because he
was Union man he was in danger of being
driven from his home, and that in order to Sc
cure protection he must send two of his sons
to the rebel army. Wright said he warned
Mr. Gregory OF his danger, because he was a
neighbor, and that his influence was such that
he could get the sons commissions. MIR.
Gregory Spurned the offer, and then Wright
changing his tone, said Mr.. Gregory and his
family would be driven from Prince Georges
county, or used words to that effect and init.
mated that he (Wright) would aid in doing it.
This occurred whilst Mr.. Cameron was secre-
tary of war, and all these facts were testified
to by Mr.. Gregory and three other persons
before the Potter investigating committee,
and report sent to the war department Re-
ing referred to the adutant general, he re-
ported that the services of Wright were in
dispensably necessary, and he could not be
removed.
When Mr.. Stanton assumed that place Mr..
Gregory made second affidavit, and Mr..
Watson, assistant secretary, declared that the
man should be removed. The affidavit was
under oath, and was sent to assistant adjutant
general Thomas, who referred it to the very
Mr.. Wright whose removal it demanded.
Wright reported back that it was false, that
the man who made the affidavit did not be-
lieve in future rewards and punishments, and
therefore was incompetent to testify.
All of Mr.. Gregory's sons have been draft
ed, while Mr.. Wright, who has sent his son to
Richmond to avoid the draft, is exempt, be-
cause he holds a commission under the fed
eral. government Wright was one of the
most noisy babblers against governor Hicks
when that stern old patriot refused to call the
legislature together to enable it to pass an
ordinance ofsecession, and was leader in the
convention of the county called for the pur-
pose of denOuncing the governor, and intimi-
dating Inn into obedience to the demands
of the traitors that then-as now-infest the
state
SO the matter rests at this day, and we feel
bound to lay these Facts, as they have been
sworn to by several persons, before the pub
lie. Mr.. Wright still retains his position.
1t is one of the most confidential ones in
the adjutant generals office. He is made
acquainted with all the orders to the army
before they are promulgated, and knows the
most valuable secrets of the government.
Is it surprising that the rebels are informed
of the orders issued by the war department
before they are known by our commanding
generals?

VERY FRENCHY.-TwO men, named SariOl
and Turban, have just been brought before
the tribunal of correctional police, for being
drunk and dsorderly at Saint Denis. These
two individuals had formed partnership for
the sake of four francs worth of brandy at the
fair Of that place, and set out for the scene of
operations with their stock in trade, which
they had agreed to sell for four sous the small
glass. On arriving at Chapelle, Sariol ex-
pressed desire to taste the liquid, but the OBJ
lection was Immediately made that he was
only part proprietor, and that one half of what
he might take belonged to the other. sob l
perfectly comprehend that" said Sariol, ''and
in consequence | propose to pay you two sous
for the glass" As Turban made no further
objection, Sariol very gravely handed him the
two sous and drank the liquid.
Shortly afterward, Turban, who had looked
on the enjoyment of his companion with a
jealous eye, determined in his tarn, to regale
himself, and accordingly handed over with
perfect gravity the two sous to his companion,
also swallowing glass of brandy. But this
see-saw process was repeated so often that
when the two partners arrived at Saint Denis
their brandy was found to have been dwindled
away to almost nothing, they themselves were
three-tourthS intoxicated, and the whole re-
ceipts Of the day were only two sous. Turban
could not by any possibility understand how
four francs worth of brandy should have been
regularly sold, glass by glass, and that only
two sous should be forthcoming to represent
both the original capital and the profit. He
therefore expressed the opinion that there must
be something wrong somewhere, and he ter
minated by expressing doubts as to his associ-
ates honesty. The impeachment led to a reg
ular fight, followed by the interference of the
police, and the arrest Of the two partners
The tribunal condemned each to a weeks i'm
prisonment.

CAIRO, Get. 28.-Col. Stewart, with de-
tachment of the fiftieth and fifth Illinois regi-
ments, made reconnaissance Of the country
back of Memphis, few days since, and broke
mp a camp of guerrillas, who retreated across
Wolf river, burning the bridge after them.
Col. Stewart however crossed, killing two and
capturing number. He also destroyed ten
plantations of rebel sympathizers in that vi
cinity. Col Grierson's cavalry also made a
very successful raid into the adjoining coun-
try, breaking up five or six guerrilla camps.
II is said Bollentines rebel cavalry some
DAYS ago left Holly Springs and came as far
north as Hatchie. This fact may have given
