TO the Editor Of The National Republican:
The insertion which you havo In your paper
entitled "Another Arrest OF a Secessionist, "
has been entirely misrepresented to you. The
facts are these: Young Faherty came to his
parental home in this city in July. He had been
engaged in Richmond In business pursuits, not
in the army. He did not come, or pretend to
come, as a deserter from the rebel army. His
father, u strong Union man, felt 1t his duty to
have his son arrested, which he did; and his
parole was accepted, not rs deserter or spy,
but NJ one lately from Richmond. On Monday,
August 4th, he was offered the oath of allegi.
anoe, which he refused; and according to the
late order, young Faherty was sent to the Old
Capitol Prison. A RELATIVE.
