Arrest of a Traitor.


Marshal BILL arrived at Cleveland Thurs
day morning from Sandusky. on bis way to
Fort Lafayette with a man named JAMES
QUICK, who was arrested on the previou;
night on the charge of treason.
At the time Of the departure Of the rebel
officers from Sandusky, some weeks since
GuLIcK and other parties were observed to be
in conversation with the rebels, and circum'
stances of suspicious character caused the
attention Of the United States officers 10 be
directed towards them. Subsequently some
important correspondence came into the pos
session of the Government, and an order fol
the arrest Of GULICK was received from the
War Department.
The correspondence consists Of one lette
from N. ]. WILSON, rebel spy, on his way
South from trip up North, another fromJ. l.
Foster, another spy, coming North, and Gu
LICK, the prisoner. We have space to-day fo
only three of them, which will give some idea
of tho way the rebellion is being aided BY
Northern traitors:

We presented in former article the unan-
tnous vote Of the Democratic members Of
Congress against the bill declaring traitors,
who have taken arr against the United
States without compulsion, ineligible to any
federal office. We shall now call attention
TO another vote of the same party, almost un
animous, against he policy Of subsisiug the
Union armies in tho field, SO far as practica-
bic, on the property Of rebels. On the 9th
day oil juno Mr.. Nixon of New jersey, intro.
duced the following resolution:
Resoired, That in the Judgment Of this
House the Commander in.Chief of the Army
and Navy of the United States, should in
strucl all his officers holding commands in
districts Of country in rebellion against the
government, to make proclamation, that
hcnceforth the armies Of the Republic shall be
subsisted, so far as practicable upon the prop
crty of all those who arc in rebellion, or are
giving aid and coulfort to tho cnemies Of the
United States"

Probably because they desired to restore 'the

this prase employed in Democratic rlatiorm'
speeches and newspapers, means nothing more
nor less than restoring a Union with Jetl

and Bcauregard in the army, and by this pots

This loss not only wiped out the Re-
publican majority but left Democratic vote
Of 1877 to overcome. Thanks to the aid OF pa
triotic War Democrats, be has been able to do
this.
The Gaand Rapids Eagle comes to us with
some interesting statistics Of Kent Co. in this
State, which We add as an appendix to the
above facts. 1t is based on the apportionment
for the draft in that county, and the argu
ment is unanswerabe. Twelve towns have
exceeded their quota, aud every one gave
Gov. Blair heavy majority in ls60.-
Among the Towns that have not filed Their
quota is every Democratic stronghold in the
county.
These are not mere assertions nor visions
but facts, sustained by figures and incapable
of denial

IHE MILITARY G5yIEN p % TuE slUIHERN
DfFARTSENT.-CaUt.R Rufus Slxt1n. of the
Tinted States army, now a brisadisr general
of volunteers, has beau appointed 90 the
highly responsible post O.: military governor
OF the Southern Department. including, at
present, the whole district Of Gen. Hunter s
command. We could not desire q more tit
ting appointment Gen Saxton has already
obtained an intimate acquaintance with his
assigned field of service, and Las given foil
proof cf his varied and abundant Qualidca-
tons for the post. by having acted a. quar-
tcrnaster general under Gen. Sherman dur
lng his entire command in the Southern De-
par'ment, from the first step Of preparation
Tor the Port Royal expedition. The cOun-
try may repose confidence in hi> fidelity. dis
cretion. courage and patriotism to preserve
the public peace. and do all that circum-
stances will admit for the restoration Of the
States Of South Carolina and Georgia to law
AMI order under the Federal Constitution.
Gen. Saxton is q native OF Deerfeld, Mass
His genealogy includes many of the most
hOnored names in that section Of country be-
side his own, which has always stood among
the best-such rs Ashley. Williams, Field,
Wright, White, etc, etc. Gen. Slxton Is
himself graduate Of West Point, Of high
standing in his class, and has continued IN
the army ever since. lie assisted Governor
Stevens of Washington Territory in the re
connoisance aud survey Of the Northern route
Tor the Pacific R lilroad, and made a very
lucid report on that subject, which was
printed by Congress. He has seen much ad-
venturous service among the Indian tribes
around the Rocky Mountains, as well as in
other important trusts, and has ever proved
upright. discreet Und patriotic. lie has re
mained wholly tree from that sympathy
with secessiOnIsts which has been 50 sore a
trial to the virtue Of many army officers, be-
cause he never let his ini1d get poisoned
with homage to the divinity Of slavery. lie
will therefore do his duty impartially aud
firmly, without fear or favor toward slave
holders, OF any recognition OF their peculiar
claims az paramount 10 the rights and int 7
ests OF all others. lie is a sincere Christian.
in the fellowship Of the Episcopal Church,
and fearing God, Will know no other fear.
Gen. Saxton expects to SAIL for his pos. of
duty on Thursday, 10 the steamer Oriental,
and will be followed and sustained by abund-
ant sympathies and prayers OF the wise and
good. He has the full confidence OF the
President and his Cabinet, as we are we'll in
formed, and will be strong in courage to do
bis whole duty to all men, to God, and to
his country. His headquarters for the pres
ent will be at Beaufort, ). c., until Charles
ton is taken, when he will remove to that
city, and there administer the resistless rule
Of military law, until the rebeliious and

Gen. Hunter has been issaing free pa =
pers to negroes who had been employed in the
rebel service He has also been taking mea-
suras to organize military force Of the
black, and to train them to the use of arms.
II the blacks can be made serviceable, why
SHOULD they not be used ? The season is at
hand when it viii be perilous for our north
ern men to perform much of the required
labor and service in that quarter.
The CONTRA ands are ready and willing to
serve, and SLOW aptitude for some kinds Of
military labor. Gen. Hunter now gives them
the privilege of choosing to which slde they
will give their service.
1t is not proposed to send theaI out to car

leaders send out their men to wayay and
buiche- like savages, but to organize them
into companies, commanded by white meD,
and to hold them responsible to the regule-

itaTy service, will perform other equally ne
