The AFFAIR AT THE JAIL

CITY JAIL, Warrington, May "a, 1862.
Editor Ersning Star: Your reporter, by being
misnformed no doubt, incorrectly states that
after the arrest Of the military guard at the jail by
Marshal Lamon, Sergeant Cronln was placed In
charge Of the jail.
Sergeant CTonin's services were efficient and
creditable in aiding the prison guard; and after
the arrest at our solicitation the uesed
him to remain, which he kindly consented to do,
but at no time was the charge Of the Jail taken
from us by Marshal Lamon.
By inrerting the above, you will prevent any
unjust reflections upon Us.
Respectfully yours, &c.
GEO. III. FAYMAN, for Guard ct Jail.

Mattsrs Before the Provost 1ASshal.
The business Of the Provost Marshal,
Mr.. Hiatt. H. daily increasing, and be
hods his hands full. Several cases were
before him yesterday, besides other bust
ness.
Early in the morning the Provost
Guard. Wall and Amsden, arrested Francis
Higgins for attem ping to leave on the
packet without pass. He Was invited to
go on shore. but would not comply with
out assistance. In fact be resisted dog
gedly, and being large, stout man, they
had some trouble in fetching him along.
The contest attracted much attention.
At last Higgins was lodged in the Guard
House, and will be attended to By the
Provost Marshal in due time. The
prisoner is recently from the county Jail.
Sam. I. Marshall, for many years law
yer in this place, was arrested and brought
before the Provost Marshal, ON the charge
of violating the law of the United States
in reference to the discharge and pay of
soldiers. He is accused Of persis,ently
inducing soldiers to employ him in that
business on fee of $40 and 5 per cent.
on the amount OF money obtained for ar
rcars Of pay AS Uncle Sam. has given
notice that he will furnish discharges and
the back pay 10 soldiers promptly and
without the interference of attornies. and
as Sam. Marshall had been warned that
be must not fleece the soldiers i'll that
manner, and s,iIl persisted in carrying on
that business. the Provost Marshal thought
best to give him board and lodging in the
Guard House. His case is reported to
headquarters and orders awaited. In the
meantime, Sam. will endeavor to be jolly
as guest of Uncle Sam. and if he don't
find some means of exercising his pro-
fession among his fellow prisoners, ,hon
bis active mind must indeed be sobercd
by his novel position.
Dr.. Bale, 8 case was concluded yes
terday, and he is to be taken TO St. Louis,
with large number Of other prisoners.
Thomas Nelson, Artemis Perkins, VIM.
Sloan and Geo. Stafford, who with four
more were brought from Missouri a few
days ago, had = hearing yesterday, be-
fore the Provost Marshal, and it appear
ing that they had been inveigled among
the bushwhacker>, by tl.c most outrageous
misrepresentation, and being penit-n,,
they were sworn and discharged. The
two last named are but mere lads, and
very simple minded. The other two
promised to go home and enlist in the
State Guards.

Spring6eld. No, Aug 2s


Gen. Brown has issued orders requiring
all persons in this State who have not Ia
ken the oath TO repair to the nearett pro-
vost marshal for the purpose Of taking the
oath, and giving sufficient bond for the
faithful Observance thereto. All persons
who fail To comply with this order
by the 25th Of this month will
be moved by the Provost Marshal
General outside the Federal lines without
pro- e Ausholity they will be arrested and
held IA close confinement. The reason
Tor making this stringent order is the
fact that there are number of persons
who have not yet taken the oath, and the
General commanding this post has evil
dence that they keep up a line of commu-
nication with the enemy.
