LOCAL AFFAIRS.

ARREST OF A CITIZEN Our citizens were
thrown into an intense excitement, on Friday
of last week, at witnessing squad of Fede-
raj cavalry entering this town, on their way
to washington, cscorting, as a prisoner, Mr..
WIN. II. 0FFuTT, one of the Oldest and most
respectable citizens of the county. The rea-
sons for his arrest viii best be stated by Civ
ing the simple facts of the case, as related to
US by the most undoubted authority.
1t seems that Mr. 0ffutt was one of those
who had gone to the District in search of run
away slaves. He found his servant boy-had
him arrested under the fugitive slave law,
and taken before the Commissioners, who had
been regularly appointed to investigate such
cases. The result was, that the boy was de-
liyered up in compliance with law, and Mr..
Ofutt after obtaining the written order of
the Court, brought away his negro, and had
him committed to the temporary Jail in this
place, from which, however, the boy attempt
ed to escape few days ago, when he was ta-
ken to Frederick and lodged in Jail there
Gen. Wadsworth, the military Governor of
the District, not coinciding, however, with
the Commissioners in the correctness of their
decision, on the ground that this slave was
under military protection, and therefore
renhsye3 from all civil process, despatched a
military force to arrest Mr.. Offutt, and bring
him, together with the negro, to Washington,
for further investigation.
But the strangest part of the affair is yet to
be told. Although such proceedings very
naturally excited the warmest Indignation OF
the honest and true Montgomrians, who were
present at seeing one of the very fathers OF
the county seized and dragged away from his
quiet home, by a band Of mercenary hirelngs,
not one word Of condemnation Of the outrage
was heard to escape the lips Of any such an
Union loving gentry, and who, therefore, it
must be presumed, silently approved of it,
Oh, shades Of the immortal Washington is
it possible that Montgomery county contains
within her limits such monsters in human
shape, who, casting behind them all concern
for the natural rights of their fellow-man, are
thus willing TO see forged yet heavier chains,
to bind down oppressed humanity, and g the
Inauguration of more rigorous system of
affairs in Maryland" Is this the Union which
our fathers handed down to rs to preserve
unimpaired2 Or, is it new Union that we
are called on to fight for, where the negro is
to be made equal to the white mani
We understand that after committing Mr..
0fntt TO the military prison in Washington,
his prosecutors failed to find any cause for his
further detention, and he was accordingly
released, and is now at home.

We learn from sutler, who left Winches-

Advices from General Halleck have been
received as late as Tuesday last Up to that
time no general engagement is said to have
taken place, but the Federal army was within
battering distance Of Corintl@ whilst the OPP
posing pickets had ceased firing at each other,
and We're in such close proximity that they oc-
casionally entered into conversation.
Brief dispatches from General Banks report
that all is quiet in the vicinity of Harper 5
Ferry and Williamsport.
So far from the Confederates eviueing any
disposition to eyacuate Fort Pillow, it has re-
Gently been ascertained that they are increas-
ing the number of their batteries at that point.
The latter are to mount twenty-one guns,
some Of them Of heavy calibre besides those
already in place The Federal guuboat flo
tilla has, however, been recently reinforced
by considerable number of troops, in adli-
ton to six steam rams.
From Southern papers we learn that Com
modore Farragut has appeared off Vicksburg,
Mississippi ard demanded the surrender OF
the town. The answer returned, according
to despatch from Jackson, was" If you

refusal, the gunboats were ordered to move up

The MARYLAND STATE PRISONERS. The
Commissioners who have had so long in
charge the cases Of the Maryland State Pris-
oners confined at Fort Warren, have at last
concluded their labors and reported progress.
OF the twenty-nine prisoners confined at that
place, twenty have been released upon their
parole Of honor not to give aid or comfort 10
nine remaining, Messrs. Harrison, Gatchell,
Warfeld, Lyon and Hall, were offered their
liberty upon a similar parole, but as they re-
fused to enter into any arrangement with the
Government or its agents, which did not pro-
vide for their unconditional release, they
Were remanded to prison. As n condition
precedent to his Liberation, Mayor. Brown
was required to abdieate his office. This he
refused to do, and he also was sent back to
the classmates. A very high compliment
such as was paid by tyranny to two illustri-
Gus patriots of our Reyolution--it was the
rare good fortune Of Messrs Wallis. Scott.
Kane, Charles and Frank Key Howard, to re-
ceive. They were excluded by name from the
operation Of this parole amnesty, the Gov
eminent regarding their release, under any
conditions, as particularly dangerous at this
time to the order which reigns in Warsaw.
1t is very far from our purpose (says the
ST. Marys Beacon) to censure the action Of
those who have thought proper to purchase
their liberty, BY compromising with The Gov
eminent for the wgongs they have suffered at
its hands, There were doubtless controlling
circumstances, not proper to be made public,
which impelled them to make this sacrifice OF
their rights, and which fully justified the
course they have pursued. The discredit which
belongs to such bargain attaches not to
them, but to the frontless tyranny with which
they have to deal. Fully approaching their
eminent services to the State and to constitu-
tional liberty, and their splendid sacrifices
upon the altar Of public duty, we cannot how
ever, withhold our admiration from those de-
voted men who have made no bargains, and
who still uphold, with lion heart, the majesty
Of law and justice and the dignity Of Mary
land in Fort Warren. They stand upon high
vantage ground. Either they have violated
the laws Of the land, or they have not If
they have, they are entitled to trial; ifthey
have not, they are entitled to an uneonai-
tonal release Under either state Of the case
their right to inqaisltion for the outrage Of
arresting and OBTAINING them, without legal
process, is unquestionabe. Mr.. Seward may
at present very safely mock at them, and laugh
to scorn the complaints Of the State, whose
cherished children they are. But he laughs
best who laughs last lie has played, and is
playing, darkand desperate game Of tyranny.
Il will be well for him If he can play II to
the end with success. a single blunder a
move at the wrong time, or in the wrong d.
rcction, and the bitter ingredients Of the
poisoned chalice are siraightway commended
TO bis own lips.

BAD TIME TO Buy HoRsEs.--On the Sd in

last Messrs. Jones and Cissell, near Poolcs-

a son Of Mr.. Cissell happened to be in the
city, and saw Mr.. NJ. McNeal with his fathers

them, and claimed the horse went before
magistrate, made oath to the property, and
the horse was delivered to him upon the pay
ment of the livery. While at the stable Of
Mr.. McNeal, Mr.. Cissell saw Mr. Jones horse,
and upon his return to Poolesville informed
him of the fact. Last Tuesday they came to
the city and went to the stable il was locked,
but there appeared to be horses there. They
inquired for but failed to find the proprietor.
Mr. Jones obtained search vibrant, which
was placed in the hands Of Detective Kimball.
who went to the stable and found the horse
Mr.. McNcal appeared at the Office of Justice
Dom, with Mr.. Uttermuhle as his counsel.
Mr. Uttermuhle contended that the horse
should be returned to his client, as the magis-
trate had no authority to decide upon the
rightofproperty, and the complainants course
was by replevn. Arguing that although
three witnesses had identified the horse as
Mr.. Jones property, the defendant would pro-
duce evidence on Thursday, and prove Mr.
McNeals rightful ownership. The case was
accordingly postponed. Subsequently, Mr..
McNcal being satisfied that the horse was Mr..
Joness, waived the further hearing and gave
up the horse, at the same time exhibiting

possessed of the animal The case was dis

have been anticipated considering the very
great disparity Of the forces engaged, and

aimed 1T nothing less than the entire capture
Of our force A detailed statement will be
forwarded as coon as possible.
Ny command encountered the enemy in q
coigtant succession Of attacks and in well
contested engagements at Strasburg, Middle
town. Newtown and at a point also between
those places and at Winchester. The force Of
the enemy was estimated at from IS 900 to
10000 men, with very strong artillery and
cavalry supports. Ny own forces consisted
Of two Brigade5, less shan 1000 strong, all
told, including fifteen hundred cavalry, the
Parrot guns and six smooth bores.
The substantial preservation of the entire
