Last Saturday the AIessrs Brennan, of this
city, were arrested by Col. Matthews. provost
marshal, and paroled until ten o'clock yesterday
morning, when they were again paroled till noon
to-day.
Sunday R. B. Cheatham, Esq, mayor Of this
city, was arrested and paroed till twelve N.
yesterday He appeared at that hour, and his
parole was extended tiIItwelve to-day.
Yesterday Messrs. Shard * Hamilton, of the
Nashville plough manufactoi7, were also arrest
ed and put under bonds Of $1,000 for their ap-
Pearance. The charge against these gentlemen
IS treason.
The Messrs Brennan, iron founders, are said
20 have manufactured cannon, shells, and balls
for the Confederate States, and upon this, we be-
leve the charge against them is founded.
Aiding and abeainT the euemy-that is, the
C0niedeTa5s Sta5es-is the basis Of the charge
against the mayor.
Messrs. Sharp & Hamilton, it is reported, in
stead Of turning swords into pough-shares. -
converted plough-shares into swords and knives
for the Contedlatas sij thus made themselves
amenabla 10 the charge OF treason against the
United States.

We have some late and reGab le intelligence
of the Yankee operations on Iy bee that will be
interesting to the reader.
The enemy are developing their work and
policy day by day. They have a continuous
line Of works, reaching from the Light House
to Kings Landing. They have been at work
at the latter point for some time but their opera
tions were kept out Of view by a clump Of trees
uUtil a day or two since, when they hal reached
hight to be clearly visible from the fort The

cling out to elevate them to the requisite hight.
were plainly revealed by the glass.
This line Of works is armed with thirteen 13-
inch mOrtars twelve cGlumBiads Of ten and
twelve inches, and six Parrot guns. The exact
force manning them is 2IOO, including troops of
all kinds, and two companies of mechanics
German and Irish.
The batteries at and near Kings Landing are
in full range Of our guns at the fort, and from
some experiments recently made, the commander
Of the fort feels no doubt Of his ability 70 make
them untenable. The loud reports heard in the
city about midday Saturday, were from our
guns at the fort, and the result was entirely sat
iSfsctOTy
There is no doubt remaining Of the intention
Of the enemy to attack the fort, though they may
possibly be delayed for Some weeks in order 70
secure the cooperation of their feet of gunbOats
which they are busily engaged in trying to dig
through the mud of Walls cut We should see
to it when they get through, that they shall have
a FIRE in the rear as well as in front
The condition Of the troops on Tybee is any
thing but favorable to harmony among the inva-
dars. Five months had elapsed since they re-
ceived their pay, and then the account was only
squared for three moAthS instead of Eve. The

A HUNDRED EGGS FROM A PYrHOE-Intbe
Geological Gardens, at London, shey have had a
large serpent OF the Python species, from the
west coast 0t Africa, for many years. This
reptile is nineteen feet long and twenty inches in
circumference. About three years ago another
snake Of the same kind was introduced 10 its
den, and they have lived together ever since.
On the morning Of the 18th Of January, the men
in charge OF that department were much sur
priSed to find that the larger serpent had laid
about one hundred eggs as large as those OF 8
goose. The skin Of the eggs was tough and
lssthery, their color, dirty yellow. When FIRST
seen the eggs were in a heap, but the serpent
laid them all on a level and then coiled her body
over them During the week after she laid them,
the serpent came off them twice for short
periods She is covered with blanket while
thus upon her eggs, and Ias not fed for the last
twenty one weeks. This interesting fact estab-

"sECEsH" IN THE OHIO LEGIsLA-



The Federal commandant at Camp Chase, Co
lumbus, Ohio, where the Confederate officers are
confined, has attracted the attention Of the Leg
islature of that State-resolutions of seusure Of
his conduct having been passed. An attempt to
reconsider was made, but with what result is
not known. The following from the Cincinnati
CoHssaerciaJ IS the explanation given by that
journal:
There was an animated debate in the Ohio
House Of Representatives on yesterday, on the
treatment Of rebel prisoners at Camp Chase.
The debate was characterized rather by snims-
ton than any other cOmmeudable quality Both
parties seem 70 have been firing wide Of the
mark. One side was hot and heavy on the enOr-
nifty of slavery in Camp Chase. The other urged
that the war must not be carried on for any Bur-
pose of oppression, etc. As for the negro ser
wants Of the rebel officers, they are couhscated,
according to the conhscatiOn act passed at the
extra session of Congress, and their position
should be at once declared. The cOncilistory
gentlemen seem to think that the prisoners Of
war should be treated as the guests OF the State,
and that the privilege Of vain-glor0Us psrades
about the capital should be continued to please
our southern brethren"
1t is ridiculous for Legislators to go into a gen
eTal blather on the slavery question in this con-
neetiOn. The question is, whether the criminals
who have been taken with arms in their hands,
making war upon their country, shall be treated
as prisoners guilty of high misdemeanoTs, or
fondled and petted as spoiled children. They
have VIGOROUSLY been allowed privileges to which
they We're not entitled, by the laws OF war or the
eour.esies Of civilization. They have been os
tentatously strutting about Columbus in full uni
form, acting as missionaries of treason and our
politicians who look upon the miserable slave
