Gen. Stone Arrested For Treason.

1t has been apparent for some time past
that the delay of a forward movement, On
account of which there has been SO much
impatience. has been occasioncd very
much by treason in cur army. The re-
cent detection of Gen. Stone, must cor
roborate this fact to the full, though pain
iul satisfaction of the public mind The
following, from the Chicago Tribune, will
present this case to our readers
Con. Stene, the slave catcher, has
been broken in his command and sent to
Fort Lafayette under arrest. He is char
god with holding reasonable correspon-
dencs with the enemy.
AS long ago as the latter part Of De-
cember we received printed letter from a
well informed gentleman in Washington,
stating in substance that testimony lad
been ELECTED by tho Senate Committee on
the Conduct of the War, duplicating Gen.
Stone in reasonable doings. TIE writer
placed US under injunctions Of secrecy un-
til the matter became public by bis arrest,
which would take place as soon as the
Committee had obtained some other links
to complete the chain Of proof of bis guilt.
The letter stated that Stone had given
las.os to certain persons to go through
bis lines to the rebel camp and return !;
that there was wooded island in the riy-
or in front or in the vicinity Of his quarters
which was place of meeting between chi
issaries from the rebel lines and persons
from his lines and that in addition to let
tiers and papers being conveyed to the enc
my. it WAS believed that quinine, guneaps
and other articles highly important to the
traitors, were taken to the island and pass
cd into the hands of the enemy.
That Stone was constantly compelling
his soldiers to catch and return loyal slaves
to the secessionists. was shamefully noto-
rious To such degree did he carry this
Infamous business that Gev Andrew of
Massachusetts, appealed to the Secretary
of war to have stop put TO it SO far as
massachusetts, soldiers were concerned =
Senator Sumner introduced a resolution
into the Senate on the subject, and it will
be recolected that Stone wrote him sour
rilous letter about it. But the measure
of the villains Iniquity is now full, and he
is iacarcerated among parrieldes in a for

Halifax, Feb. 10--Late French papers

THE FLORIDA REEFs-TuE World a.
600 YEARS OLD Prof Asassiz delivered
q Ii cture in New York on Sunday last, up-
on the age Of the physical world, as de-
rived from ancient coins, animal remains
of species still extent and especially from
coral reefs The lecture was mainly devo
ted tor Florida reefs and the conclusion
drawn f ON them as to the time taken for
their formation, He said that the popular
notion that the coral was the work of an
insect was entirely erroneous. The reefs
consist of organized remains of class of
radiates, which become rigid by the con-
tinual deposits of imy particles. The CO.
rails begin their work at depth of II
fathoms. and work upward. The Florida
reefs are the best in the world for scientific
observation, from observations made upon
them by Prof. kgasssiz, he had found that
n II years the growth of coral about the
coast forts was almost one inch, which
would make about seven inches in Gen.
fury. To be safe however, lie allowed one
foot century. With this as basis, the
youngest reef on the coast-the Florida
keys-was found 10 be at least 5000
years old. But the Keys are founded mp
on similar reef which was formed before
the outer one. This adds 6.0CO wears
more 10 the age of the hanks Then land
ing upon the main land, third reef is
found precisely similar. adding another
5000 years to the chron,l gy But back
of this, Isl fourth and still older coral
reef, which adds 5000 years more Here
positive Investigations cease. and prof.
Agassiz claims to establish the fact indis-
putabls. that this portie n of tie world is at
least a 600 years old. an age far beyond
any record of the race now inhabiting it.

come te tho conclusion that he is traitor.

ho much time in the discussion of the sub
