MILITARY ARRESTS.

Under Gen. Bates jurisdiction,
some persons are beginning to feel
the power Of the Confederate Gov
ernment.
Gen. James Hickman, of this
city, was arrested, yesterday, by
request Of Brig. Gen. Forrest, on q
charge of getting leave to purchase
salt and transport it from Column
bia, Tenn, to Alabama, net for
speculation, but for the benefit of
soldiers families, and then selling
it here for $75iu gold, per Barrel.
We understand, he admitted to
Gen. Bate that be did sell it iof the
price statedm gold. He has been
put in charge of Lieut.. Charles 0.
Shepherd and & guard to. be taken
to Columbia, to-day. He has the
reputation, here, of affiliating and
syn1patllising with tie Yankees,
during their occupation of North
Alabama, trading in cotton, and
doing many other disloyal acts.
Gen. Bate has had Robert Rich
ards, a private in Bragg's army,
now at home, near Vienna, in this
county, arrested on a charge Of dis
couraging the enforcement Of the
Conscript Law, by exaggerated ae-
counts of the sufferings Of soldiers,

troops. The drill and discipline
of these troops, except the Mis-
souri, troops, he would not proper
ly be held responsible for. At a
recent review by Gen. Pemberton,
it was the concurrent declaration
by the reviewing officers, that 40
troops in the West, or East, in the
provisional army or in the old u;
nited States regular service, have
ever exhibited more perfect and
beautiful drilt and military order
than the Missouri troops. These
veteran soldiers never falter III
battle. They are never whipped
They never seek sick furloughs.--
They do not straggle. When bat
teries are to be taken, tiey takt
them! When an enemy is to be
routed, they charge him with a
shout Of defarce. They have
met the foe on fifty battle felds!-
They may be killed, but they can
not be conquered! These are

English papers of late dates
give narrowing details OF the DIS
irsss and destitution in the mana-
featuring districts, resulting from
the American war and the want
of Cotton. These papers also
show that the desires, and eSpec-
tations, and opinion Of the yeo-
many, and the manufacturing. s.
classes, are decidedly in favor OF
intervention or recognition, or any
other action which they suppose
would remove the evil. In the
moneyed class and capitalists. there
is a shrewd desire Of turning tde
difficulty to account by. promoting
and forcing the growth or supply
of some substitute for Cotton 1t

ment will have TO resort to some

Lying by Invitation.

Our readers will remember that grave
charges Of treason were preferred
against several Democratic members OF
the Illinois Constitutional Convention
by the correspondent Of the Chicago
Tribune. The Tribune gave its en-
dorsement to the libel. An investiga-
ton was demanded by the accused par
ties, and a special committee Of six
three Democrats and three Republicans
were directed to investigate. Ofcourse
there was not q shadow Of proof
brought forward to prove the charges.
In the course Of the investigation the
correspondent who wrote the letter
containing the charge was brought to
the stand. He stated that the letter
was not written by his own inclination
but "6y inhalation I" That will do
Could anything be more contemplate
The Chicago Tribune places its owl
tools in the field and then invites then
to forge ISLANDERS against Democrats
in other words they are directed to lie
and the liars call it lying "by invita-
tion." The only wonder is that the.
stop to be invited.
