A few days subsequent to that disturbance Judge
Hail vas arrested for having resist d the draft

the ire of toe traitors, aud they swore no more

town v,es intensely excited The ringesders
denounced the Federal government, and cheered
for JEFF Davis, while their followers helped to

forts against every possible attack; and dis
closes, in the second place, the causes Of his
