CANARD.-The story was started sew
eral days since that the Rev. DR.. Hoyt
and the Rev. Mr.. Brooks were arrested
OF Dayton, Ohio, on charge OF treason,
and that Vallandigham was taken at the
same time. The t&o former were ar
rested in Cincinnati on suspicion OF be-
ing suspected" The latter was not ar.
rested. The report has been that
Brooks was discharged and Hoyt con-
victed on his own showing and sent to
Jail. The fact is that both were releas-
ed, there being nothing found against
them.

JIM LANE ISSUES PROCLAMAT1oN.
zen. jim Lane has reached the seat
of his military observation-disclosures
and issued proclamation which is the
most creditable production that we have
ever seen from him. He addresses the
loyal people of Kansas, Nebraska, Col
orsdo and Dacotah; saws the govern
ment is fully aroused to the conviction
that nothing but real earnest war can
put down this rebellion; that be is au-
thorized to organize an army in the de-
partment he has indicated; that bis
powers in the premises are full; says the
forces will be used for the defence OF
that department alone, while the armies
of the north and east are marched
against the enemy on his own soil and
closes with an appeal to arms and with
out an allusion to the negro or cry clap
trap whatever. Gen. Lane is improving.

PRAYERS FOR THE COUNTRY.

To the Editor Of the Whig:
One who found the hour of the Ladies' Concert of
PrSyI the first of December an exceedingly solemn
and interesting one would be much pleased to have it
repeated the first of January and indeed to have it
continued long country remains in its present
unsettled state.
Perhaps the second of January might be better than
the first New Years day may be liable to Interrupt
ton. Also, the second of February as that month
comes in on the Sabbath.
II the first mover Of that concert who, in my opin
lou, deserves the thanks of the nation will take the
trouble TO circulate the notices for one will be great

through which Virginia has passed during the
last twenty wears he has taken a prominent part and
hence no maa in the State is more familiar with our po

Mr. Hoge is aspirant for political honors. During
the past twcnty wears though mingug actively in the
various political campaigns, he has been candidate for

for the House Of Delegates against Col Barnett then
the most popular and influential man in Montgomery

THE VACANT SENATORsHn

To the Editor Of The Enquirer:
Gentlemen: Allow me to suggest to the members of
the General Assembly upon whom viii deyolye, at their
ensuing session she election Of Confederate States
senator in place OF the amented Preston, the Hon. VIM
c Ryes as his successor The peculiar fitness of such
selection at this juncture, will be apparent at glance.
II i assumed from what has already occurred ia this and
other States that the choice viii be made from among
the most prominent members Of that great party whose
opinions and feelings upon bygone issues differed from
those entertained by the present Senator Il Is also
taken for granted that primary object Of the Legisa
ture in filling the existing vacancy, viii be to render our
combined Senatorih delegation heartily acceptable to
the great mass of the people of the whole State In
this view ask l. possible that more fall complete
aud able representation could be found In the length aud
breadth o! the Commonwealth than MeSsTS HIVES and
