A SUCCESSFUL REBEL SPY CAUGHT.


Among the prisoners taken In skir.
hish with some rebel guerrillas near Lex.
iugton, KY, and carried to Cincinnati for
confinement was man well known to
military officers there, with whom he has
passed for Russian nobleman under the
name of Belville, and there and at Wash.
ington and elsewhere has obtained great
deal of important military information,
which he has sent to Richmond His his.
tory has now come out. Two and half
years ago Belville entered the rebel ser
vice under John Morgan; a portion of
whose command, of which Belville was
member, was detached and ordered to re.
port to Humphrey Marshall. Gen Mar.
shall made belville's acquaintance and
learning that he could speak five different
languages, and being exceedingly shrewd
withal, he engaged him to come North in
the capacity of a rebel spy. Belville
went to Washington, New York, Boston
Baltimore, St. Louis, and all the leading
cities and posts and adroitly succeeded in
gaining the confidence of all the military
authorities, from President Lincoln down.

continually forwarded South by the under.

to visit the armies he would purchase
stores for the Union troops, and as a sut.

edge of all our movements that no sooner

WHAT FRANK PIERCE PROMISED TO
DO FOR THE REBELS.

The most important letter found among
Jeff Davis manuscripts in Mississippi was
the following, which has just come out
1t will be seen that in case of secession
and war, Pierce promised Davis that the
abolitionists should have fighting to do
at home There is no doubt that many
such promises were made by northern trail
tors, but they have done nothing as yet
in fulfllment of them beyond stirring up
mobs against the draft, and keeping their
own persons out of danger. Here is
Pierce's letter -.
CLARENDON HOTEL, Jan. 5, 1860.
My Dear FrieLd: n...., ....

day or two since. have just had a
pleasant interview with Mr.. Shepley,
whose courage and fidelity are equal to
his learning and talents. He says he

der the auspices of any other leader.

his character above the atmosphere ordl-

ability, courage, broad craftsmanship,

pressed his views in this relation in al

CURIOUS PHENOMENON ON MANSFIELD d.

CURIOUS PHENOMENON ON MANSFIELD.
The Spectre of the brocken" has made
its appearance on Mansfield Mountain.
1t was seen and described last summer by
Dl. Kirk, of Boston, and we find another
account Of it IN letter published in the
Burlington Times this morning. The let
ter dated Sept. 2lst) says:
"The cloud view, with the rolling mas
ses of fog and mist, colored either by the
rising or setting sun, afford some of the
richest treats. To such one, few of us
were welcomed last Thursday afternoon,
just before sunset. We were standing on
the top of prccipice northerly of the
chin, but lower than the peak, looking
easterly toward Sterling Mountain and
watching the great masses of fog which
the southeast wind was driving up thro'
the Smugglers' Notch; as they rolled
along the westerly face of Sterling the
sun lighted them up with beautiful colors.
Suddenly, we saw heavy, dense, dark
cloud of mist coming up the valley, but
forced by the wind against the Mansfield
side Of the Notch, and hugging close to
the precipuce upon which we stood. When
the rays of the sun struck it, as 1t passed
along opposite to us we saw, asif by mag
ic, in the midst Of the cloud and very
near to us, circle Of the most vivid COL
ors, about 80 feet in diameter. and in tho
center Of this immense picture-frame our
own images we're distinctly photographed.

A RASCAL CAUGHT.-Geo. Fletcher, who
broke Jail in this place at two different
times. some three years ago, is caught
again. He has been suspected of burn
ing the railroad bridge in the town of
Norton, on the Grand Trunk road, and a
detective named Jones, in the employ of
the road, was set upon his track, who
chased him to Boston, New York, and
Philadelphia. In the latter city he came
upon him in the night and seized him
while reading letter by lamp in the
street. A scuffle ensued, in which Fletcher
was assisted by two or three accomplices,
and he succeeded in making his escape,
after shooting Jones twice in the arm, and
inficting two or three stabs upon his leg.
He was then traced back to Canada, and
from information given to the authorities
here it was supposed he would be in the
vicinity of some Of his former exploits,
and that he was also going to Boston.
Deputy sheritts Bean and Parker went to
Island Pond to keep watch there, and he
was nabbed while sitting at the table,
having just eaten his dinner. He Is now
in Essex County Jail. He says he can
prove an alibi in regard to the Philadel.
phia affair. Credit is due to all concern
ed in his arrest, the minute particulars of
which we have not time togive.-Iras- to

Friend Earle.-Some one placed in
your paper last Spring the amount of but

which was % lbs, that is l3 lbs week
to the COW, on hay, and nothing else. l
will just carry them along from the llth
of April to the 18th of May, one mouth,
in which we made from them lO4 pounds,
which is little over IL pounds per week
to the COW; in June it was IA pounds to
the COW, and from the llth of May to
the llth of September 3S5 pounds, max
ing almoot so pounds per month, besides
the milk and cream used for five in the
family and hired help, and comers and
goers, more than to make seven in the
family, which would add quite an item to
the butter, if it could have been churned.

periments | cut my hay the last of June,

these experiments are just in their infan-

line, but when we come to farming, par
ticularly the cutting of hay, what do we
see? We commence haying about Mon

to the organization of the government
on the same principle that slavery has

his great grandfathers commenced it, By
