popular in Kentucky, it appears that his ap-

highly acceptable TO the people Of that State.

The Relieving of Gen. Hunter.

The REI1eFfHE OF GE8. HHHIef.
It is understood that Gen. Hunter was re-
lieyed at his own request. The appointment
Of Gen. Mitchell Us his successor indicates no
change of policy in the department OF the
South, at least go far as regards the slavery
question. The change calls renewed attention
to The phrase in JEFF. Davis retaliatory order
dated Richmond, Aug. 81:
ssWuEKEAs, as Major General Hunter, re-
Gently in command"
Who told JEFF. Davis, ten days before the
fact was known to the best informed persons
in the country outside OF the of1iclal circles
in which it WAS still properly secFct-that
Gen. Hunter had been superseded? When it
has lslsure, II might be well for the govern
mcnt to investigate the question.

While he was yet unwell Minis Massacbu-

Arrsst of Bsne BOYD the Etmsls Rebel

Arrest of Belle Boyd the Female Rebel
Spy.
Washington Correspondence Of the n. Y. Herald
The notorious female spy, Belle Boyd, fa-
miliarly known as the betrayer of our forces at
Front Royal. whereby the gallant command
of Colonel Kinley was slaughtered and cap
tured, was arrested at Winchester on Wednes-
day last, and is now confined in the old capi-
tai prison. Romancers have given this female
undue repute, by describing her as beautiful
and educated. She is merely brusque, talka-
tive oman, perhaps twenty-five years of age,
red haired, with keen, courageous gray eyes.
Her teeth are prominent and she is meager in
person. There is certain dash and naiuete ir.
her manner and speech that might be called
| fascinating; but she is by no means possessed
| of brilliant qualities, either of mind or body.
| Being insanely devoted to the rebel cause, she
resolved to act as spy within the Union
| lines, and managed in divers ways TO recon-
mend herself to our officers. One of the gene
rails formerly stationed in the Shenandoah
| Valley is mentioned rather oddly as associated
| with her, and Belle boasts that she once
| wrapped rebel flag around his head. Our
young officers, dazzled perhaps, took her out
riding often, and she was frequently habitant
of our camps in the Shenandoah.
From the facts CLEANED in this way of our
! movements and projects, she kept up pretty
| regular Duuget OF lnteIngenoe, ana the enemy
was advised of our favorite designs. She nd.
mitted in prison to-day that she had informed
! Jackson of our situation at Front Royal; but
! this she said was done to prevent the effusion
of blood. Passing through her native place
she was groaned at by the citizens on Thurs
day. The proper people of Martinsburg have
steadily disiiked her. She passed, indeed, i
| not for village courtesan, at least for some
! thing not far removed from that relation. A
| leading Secessionist of Washington visited hel
in Jail today where her quarters are comfort
able, and gave her luxuries. Some gentlemen
likewise waited upon her. She talked Will
them at random, and with much abandon, anC
said she intended to be paroled. soldie
guards her room, and PAGES up and down con
tinually before the door. Her own admission
will convict her of being spy. She wa
dressed to-day in plain frock, low in tn
neck, and her arms were bare. jackson, j
appears, is her idol; and she gave vent I
romantic desires to occupy his tent and shar
his dangers. She takes her arrest as matte
of course, and is smart, plucky and as absur'
as ever. A lunatic asylum might be recom
mended for her.
