make proper representations to the Depart

friends at Armstrong; Mills, and Others

MR j. B. LONGGLEY-Dear SIR: We
Jailed to get the last weeks papers from the
County Seat. There seems ttg ga link out
Of the chain between Bridgeport and Bell
aire. The St. Clairsville and Wheeling
mails, as also o large portion Of the Eastern
malls get to Belaire ] am told just liz thine
to be from one to two hours too late for sAe
Western train. The consequence of this
is that the St. Clairsville papers of Thurs
day, and mail generally from the Fast,
which we should get on Friday, is detained
until the Monday following. 1t seems to
me that the Post Office Department could
run the machine to better purpose than this;
If MOI, however, the contract had better be
surrendered and let us try it on private
account. tf

The Copperhead Demonstration at
Centerville, Indiana--Arrest OF the
Ringleaders.
Prom the indianapolis Journal May 0l
On last Saturday company Of armed
men came into Oentervlle, 10 procession.
forty or fifty in 'bhmbGr, with fife and
drum, wearing BrtterDut ornaments, and
cheering for jeff. Davis on the streets. A
dispatch having been sent TO Richmond Of
what was going on, a Company started from
there, which fact was communicated to the
Copperheads, and they started of in squads,
TO avoid an arrest. They had been in Cen
terville several hours when they left for
Abingdon and vicinity. The Sheriff posse,
on arriving at Centerville, was increased to
hfty men, who went in pursuit Of the rebel
party. At school house near Abingdon
the road branched off to the West. the
mounted men took the West fork, and the
infantry the main pike. In coming in on
the West road they came upon their armed
pickets, Eve in number and arrested them.
Some resistance was made. Pistols were
cooked and leveled at those who attempted
to run, and they surrendered with arms 10
their hands. While thiswas going ona man
came running up the road from Arlington.
He remarked to our informant, mistaking
him for one of his own party, They are
all coming right into town now. lie was
asked, "Who dre coningp" Seeing his
mistake he answered, 1.-The Butternuts are
coming to take the town" He was one cf
the ringleaders, and was arrested. The
party then went to the town, and arrested
several others, whom they met running to-
ward them, all armed with rifles and shot
guns. They then went into Arlington and
arrested Joshua Dye in his own house, who
was in the JEFF. Davis procession at Cen
terville. Sixteen prisoners were taken to
Centerville that night, none being taken
but those who had been in the procession.
On Sunday, fifty mounted men went back
to Arlington, but found none who had been
in the procession. There were plenty Of
Butternuts at home, but none of that squad.
The Dyes then agreed that they would de-
liver at 10 o'clock the next morning, Robt.
Stephens, Sampson Stephens and John NJ.
Snyder, which they did, and they we're
brought to this city yesterday, making nine
teen in all, who were turned over to Gen.
Hascall. On investigation Gen. Hascall
released twelve, and retained seven. The
arrests were made by the proper civil au-
torities, and were not illegal. Great excite.
ment exists in Wayne county, and her loyal
men demand that these disloyal persons be
summarily dealt with, as rebuke to open
treason. Our informant was one Of the
arresting posse, and has given us the facts
in the case, as they came under his own
observation.

MAC, May 1.-THE following order ha.
been issued by General Hooker:
HEADoUARrERs Army OF THE PorouAc 1
May ., l,G3. :
General Orders No. 40
The Major General commanding tenders
to the army his congratulations on the
achievements Of the last seven DAYS. II
it has not accomplished all that was ex.
pected the reasons are well known to the
army. 1t is sufficient to say they were Of a
character not to be foreseen or prevented by
human sagacity or resources.
In withdrawing from the. south bank OF
the Rappahannock before offering general
battle to our adversary the army has given
renewed evidence ofits confideAce 10 itself
and its fidelity to the principles it repre-
sents. In fighting att disadvantage, we
would have been recreant to our trust, to
ourselves, our cause and our country Pro.
foundly loyal and conscious of its strength,
the army Of the Potomac will give or de-
cline battle whenever its interest or honor
may demand. 1t will also be the guardian
of its own history and its own arm. By our
ceerity and secresy Of movement our a1.
vance and passage of the river was undispu
ted, and on our withdrawal not rebel ven.
tured to follow.
The events of the last week may swell
with pride the hearts Of, every officer and
soldier of this army. We have added new
laurels to its former renown. We have
made long marches, crossed rivers, sur.
prised the enemy in his entertainments, and
wherever we have fought we have inflicted
heavier blows than we have received. We
have taken from the enemy 5000 prisoners
and 10 colors, captured and brought off
seven pieces Of artillery and placed hors du
combat $4,000 of his chosen troops. We
have destroyed his depots filled with vast
amounts of stores, dapaged his communi.
cations, captured prisoners within the forti.
fications Of his capital and filed his coun.
try with fear and CONSERVATION. We have
no other regret than that caused by the loss
of our brave comrades, and in this we are
consoled by the conviction that they have
fallen in the holiest cat1se ever submitted to
the arbitrament of battle.
BY command of Maj Gen. HOOKER.
