Captain G. II. Wood, Of the Fifty first
Ohio, with sqaad Of four men, arrived
in the city this morning, from Nashville,
having in charge Gen. Washington Bar
row and Gen VIM. G. Harding, Of Nash
vile, and Col. Joseph G. Guild, of Gal
latin, three members of the Tennessee Mil
itary Board, who were arrested by CON-
mand Of Gov. johnson, and ordered to be
sent North for safe keeping. Gen. Bar
row was Minister to Portugal during Fill
more's administration, we believe. He is
at present member of the State Legis-
lature Of Tennessee, is very prominent
and influential citizen and was particu-
larly jealous as one Of the vigilance CON-
mittee at Nashville in arresting and send
ing North, at the breaking out of the re-
bellion, all persons obnoxious to the Con.
federate government. Under his auspi-
ces Mr.. Pearl, of this city, Was summari-
~ elected from his home The latter
gentleman called upon the party at the
Michigan Exchange, on learning of their
arrival, expressed his pleasure at meeting
him here, and assured them that resi-
dence of six months with US had convinced
him that the Northerners we're very
pleasant, hospitable race, and not nearly
SO bad as they had been represented to be
Con. Harding belongs to ono Of the
most wealthy and aristocraiic families Of
Tennessee. Possessing IN ample fortune
in his own right, it has received large &C.
cessions by marriage, and the General
lives in style that equals the bleoded
aristocracy Of Old England. With ample
leisure to devote to the interests of the
Southern Government, he has made him
self one of the foremost of its leaders
and occupies one Of the very frst posi-
tions, in point Of influence, in his State
Col. Guild is scarcely less distinguished
aud occupies prominent place among
the leaders of his State.
| Gen. johnson could not have arrested
three men in the State Of Tennessee.

| cy in the ranks Of the sscessionists.

until further orders. During the fore
noon large numbers Of our citizens visited
the Michigan Exchange, anxious to get /
view OF live secession leader. The gem
tlemen, however. were not on public ex
J hibition, and very few were favored viii
an audience. They will probably be i'm
mediately sent. BY Colonel Smith, t.

The Tennessee River---FIorence a Cotton
Port.
The State Journal remarks as follows in
relation to the Tennessee river and the i'm
portancs of the town Of Florence which our
gun-bosts visited few days since:
The Tennessee River is destined to play an
important part in the drama Of suppressing
the insurrection. Taking its rise in the far
of South, its waters, as if moved by in
stiRcts for freedom, how constantly towards
the North, and find their debouchmsnt in
our own beautiful Ohio. It thus cuts its way
through the very centre of secessiondom /;
and along all its course, from its mouth to
its rise, it is passing through a region of
loyalty, for full ], 200 miles. The only OBJ
structio1 to its nsvigability il formed By the
Muscle Shoals, about 260 miles from it's
mouth. This Is in Alabama; and a canal
has been constructed around these Shoals.
for 80 miles, and above this point, naviga-
ton extends about $50 miles further. The
town Of Florence, to which our gunbosis
extended their trip the other day, is nearly
300 miles above Padueah, and contains some
2, 800 inhabitants. The line Of the Memphis
and Charleston Railroad, one of the most
important in the South, connecting the Mis-
sissippi River with tide water, passes few
miles south Of Florence.
But very important fact in regard to this
point is, that Florence is the great entire
pot for the collection and shipping of cotton.
The cotton planters of Northern Alabama,
Eastern Mississippi snd all central and SOUTH
ern Tennessee deliver their cotton at Flor
ence; from which point it is either sent By
rail to Charleston or Memphis, or down the
Tennessse to the Ohio, and themes 70 North.
ern cities. The two counties of Lauderdale,
in which Florence is situated. ana Franklin
adjoining, produce about 5000 bales of GIN
ned cotton, equal to $50, 900 pounds. The
surrounding region is perhaps equally pro-
ductive. What is there then TO prevent our
making Florence a cotton port2 The cotton

Voice from AIichIEan.

A citizen Of Michigan thus writes US in re-
lstion to the reelection of Hon. B. F. Wade
to the United States Senate:
ave desire the reelection of Hon. b. F.
Wade to the United States Senate because we
consider him man OF backbone and man
Of dauntlesS energy, and just such man as
this nation needs 10 help guide the ship of
State during the perilous difficulties now ex-
isting in our nation. We regard him high
ly for his boundless energy as a Statesman,
and for his daring courage while in the Sen
ate in opposition to traitors and rebels. His
past political career We care nothing about;
We don't wish to censure him for his past DO
litical course, or to cast any insinuations re-
specFing previous opinions as to how the af-
fairs of this nation should have been con-
Quoted. Although we did not exactly agree
with him once in political sentiments, If be
should be defeated, which We hope in Gods
name he will not, we think it will be the
greatest victory the rebels have achieved over
the UnioD men of the North since the battle
of Bulls Run. There is no man at the North
who can send terror to the very vitals of the
rebels at the South like Mr.. Wade. The
sound Of his name rings in the ears of the
traitors like distant th1nders. They fear
him, yet they respect him for his integrity,
courage and manliness; and as a fnancier be
has but few equals in the nation. We are
now engaged in q war for the maintenance
of the Union. BE has been tried and found
not wanting. We regard his reelection as
one thing necessary for the best interest of
the Government st this time of it's critical
condition. We hope that the Union men of
the gallant Buckeye State will lay aside ell
past party prejudices, which we trust they
will as they did at the last State election -
We are not alone, as people Of Michigan, in
urging the necessity Of the reelection Of
Hon. B. F. Wade to the Senate; almost the
entire Northern States are with us 50 far as
we have been able TO ascertain. You have !
undoubtedly other good men, but few who |
have had the experience that Mr. Wade has. |
We should have men to control the affairs of |
the Government Of vast experience, of in
iomitAbls courage and unsWerving integri- |
y. Such vsregard Hon. B. 2. Wade. There
Is no man in the nstioa perhaps that has
won the confidence Of the North more than
Senator Wade"

and humane officer, have been made and
circulated by some evil disposed persons,
to his injury, among the friends Of the

in denOunoing all such charges ss,ground-
less and false. No officer In the service, as
we believe, bears, in feeling and in deed,
truer allegiance TO his government than
Ool. Hazen. None ha striven more faith
fully to make his command efficient in &C.
tiOn, by 9 thorough preparation for the
feld-none has been more oOnsiderate for
the health of his mel, the proper care Of the
sick, ana the welfare Of every soldier dis
posed to do his duty. Il is equally true
that after sfording both officers and pri-
Yates every facility to become proficient in
military duties, he has no favor for those
who are too indOlent or toe stupid to learn
them. The mesnness Of defsmiBg the
character Of an officer, Eve hundred miles

erable coWardice Of the act.
