h9S- Carr. SIMPSON THE HoRsE THIEp.-
The St. CairsviIle CdrOnicie gives more
extensive particulars in relation to
the arrest of Capt. VIM. P. Simpson. the
horse thief, Simpson WAS arrested. AS be-
fore stated, by MessrS. Samuel Lewis and
Archibald Gifiin, about eight miles above
Piusburg. He was in bed asleep when
Mr., Lewis pOuuced upon him. Simpson
was terribly frightened, and begged these
gentlemen not to kill him. This occurred
about ten o'clock on Wednesday night
They guarded him the balance of the
night alternately, but neither of them
recognized him until the following morning.
Simpson left St. Clairsville about the LIST
of July, 1861, without any one knowing
where be had gone to. Hewas very
violent Butteruut, and his ueigbbors gen.
orally thought he had gone to the Rebel
army. When he left his hair was as white
as snow, and he wore no whiskers. He
has colOred his hair black, and now has
black whiskeFs aud mustache. BE has
also lost great deal of flesh.
Ills thought he has been 10 this business
pretty extensively. Mr. S, NJ. Thompsou's
mare was stolen from St. Clairsville on tn c
evening of the s,h ofOctober,aud was sold
to Mr.. Donaldson, at Steubeuville. The re-
ceip, given to Donaldson is in Simpsons
writing. Donaldson also describes him
pretty correctly. He was then sailing IN
der the name OF "Wm. R. Grifaths. -
When caught this time his name was "Wm.
Williamson" Simpson was also seen near
this town by Mr.. Isaac t. Craft, on the
night N. Ault's horse was stolen.
Simpson at one time represented Bel
mont county 10 the Ohio Senate, and was
Sheriff two terms.
Since the above was written, Mr.. Don
sldson, to whom Simpson sold the Thomp-
son mare has visited him in his cell IN the
Jail, and identified him. he, of course,
denied ever having seen Mr. Donaldson.

oTTlOE PRovOsr MARSHAL GENERAL,
WHEELING, January Is, 1853.

An earnest appeal is hereby made to all
loyal citizens of Virginia, and of counties
in the State of Ohio bordering on the Ohio
river opposite Virginia, to do everything in
their power to apprehend and hand over to
the nearest authorities all soldiers who are
deserters from their regiments or corps.
Read the annexed extract from General
Orders Ne. 3, Headquarters Department of
the East, New York City, January 18th,
1863, issued by command Of Major General
Wool:
"In these times of danger to our COM
mon country, no one is exempt from rem
deriug every aid in his power to check the
demoraliEiug influence caused by the great
number of men who are cowardIy Sinking
the duties which they have sworn to per-
form, while those who remain faithfully at
their posts are thus compelled to perform
double duty. Every citizen who does not
exert himself Ia renedyinE this monstrous
evil which so seriously impairs the eff
cheney and discipline of the army, sane
lions more or less the preparation of a
crime which is liable to be punished by
death, no matter what time may have
elapsed since the desertion.
The sooner a deserter surrenders himself
to the proper authority the more likely will
he be to escape severe punishment; while,
on the other hand, tho longer he remains
absent the greater will be the certainty of
the extreme penalty of the Law being in
hieted upon him. u
The following paragraph from General
Orders No. 90, War Department, Adjutant
Generals Office, Washington, July 31st,
1862, is published for the information of ali
concerned.
HThe United States Marshals in the
respective districts, the Major and Cbiei
of police of any town or city, the sheriff o.
the respective counties in each State, ali
postmasters and justices Of the peace, are
authorized to act as Special Provost Mar
shals TO arrest any officer or private sol,
der fit for duty, who may be found absen
from his command without just cause, auG
convey him to the nearest military post o.

The transportation, reasonable expenses
of this duty and Eve dollars will be paid TO
each officer or private, SO arrested and de
liSered." 81
