On Friday week. the Federal for ces, 1000

advance of the Confederate force under the COM
mand of Gsn'l Thos. J. Jackson, stampeded and
scampered away from RomneY as fast as their

Gen'l Lander wisely concluded that the ap-
proach of the ''Soue- wal'' was as ominous of the
fate of his command as the ''coming of lBirnam-

Arrest OfT0ries.

Teter French and Harley Miller, who live near
Hedgesyille, in Berkeley county, (says the Mar
tinsburg Republican, were arrested on Tuesday
week by portion of Capt. Myers company, and
brought to Martinsburg and confined. They are
charged with giving Information to the enemy
at Bath, on Friday, the 3rd, of the approach of
she Confederate forces upon that place. Except
for this notification to the Yankees, it is believed
nearly all, if not the entire force of 1900 would
have been captured at that place. French and
Miller had observed the movements of Col. Ash
by's command in the direction of Bath, and pre-
oeded them there in buggy, representing them
selves, we learn, as merchants from Martnsburg,
and their object to exchange money for the pur-
chase of goods in Maryland. From Bath they
went to Maryland, and returned by Williams
port the day they were arrested.

The PRESIDENTS CAVALRY ESCORT, AND
dow IT HAPPENED.-By the way the gossips
have had rare tit. bit for their picking, in the
recent alarms out at the & er's Home.
Some of Mr.. Lincoln's anxious friends began
demonstrating with him about the dangers of
his exposed position at this country residence,
to which he repaired every night, while Stuart
was making his cavalry dashes up to within
hearing of the church bells of Washington
twas argued that a dashing little party of
cavalry might rush in over the draw bridge
pounce down upon the Soldiers Home, seize
upon Mr.. Lincoln, and make off before any
rescue could be attempted. Characteristical-
ly slow to take alarm, the president paid no
attention to the idea, but Mrs. Lincoln did
Nothing for time came of it, save predis-
position to easy alarms.
The other evening, after the rebels had
been roaming about pretty freely for some
days in Maryland, a couple of horsemen
stopped at the gate, at the Soldiers Home,
and made some careless inquiry of the sentry
as to the time Mr.. Lincoln generally came
out The sentrys suspicious were aroused,
and he told the story to Mrs. LincOln-in all
probability letting it suffer none in the telling.
She at once took the alarm. When the pres
ldent came home he was duly notified of the
danger, and informed that his better half
wouldn't permit him to run such risks any
longer. He is always Il dutiful spouse, you
know, and so the wife decided the matter.
Neither of them ''knew much military" but
they (she, l believe Mr.. Lincoln says,) at
once decided on guard, which, though not
particularly BETTING the presidential rank
of which Mr.. Lincoln always has great care
should at least be effectual. And so next
morning, the president came driving into
town as usual, with soldier with loaded
blunderbuss bundled into the carriage with
him, and another, similarly equipped, mount
ed on the box beside the driver! In such
state his excellency drove up to Gen. Halleck's
headquarters. 1t is entirely safe to say that
the general was astounded. That style of
retinue for the commander-in-chief of the
army and navy was beyond his understand
ing of the regulations. A suitable cavalry
force was at once ordered for the president,
and he now passes in and out from town to
his country residence in style more befitting
his position, as well as more secure against
possible dangers. Washington co1Tespon-
