REBEL IIoEoa Several weeks ago a
son Of Humphrey Marshall was ofros-
ted for reasonable acts or words, and
brought to this city He was required
to give bal 10 the amount Of $4,000, but
at anntenicw with Gen. Buell., ho made
very strong and apparently sincere
promise, that, il released, he would dc.
port himself in all things as a loyal and
true citizen oil the United States, and
Gen. B, concluded 10 accept his promise
and released him, Well, almost the
first thing the young rascal did ancr
lying himself out Of custody, was to
abuse the confidence mworibily bostow-
ed in him by raising company, or al
least as large portion Of one rs he
could, and joining bis father ator beyond
Pound Gap.
All that can be said in palllation OF
the conduct Of young MARSHALL is that
son Of Humphrey Marshall can scarcely
bo considered as censurablo for the want
Of political and moral honesty as the
sons of mlokinl in gencral--I Louisville
