ARREST OF A RECRUITING OFFICER
OF A NEGRO REGIMENT. Prom a letter
to the Baltimore Gazette, reproduced in ano-
ther part of our paper to-day, il appears that
one J. p CREAeER, Lieutenant Colonel Of
negro regiment now in process of organiza-
ton in this State, has brought himself into
rather an unpleasant situation, in consequence
of an alleged infraction of our State laws
The facts, as well as can be ascertained at
present, are set forth in the published letter.
General ANTHONY KIMMELL, of Frederick,
forthwith repaired to Baltimore City, and had
an interview with Brigadier General W. W.
Morris, Commanding this department in the
absence of General SoHENcK, in relation to
the matter The general informed him that
all persons who had thus lost slaves must APP
pear in person before him, and after proving
their loyalty, would be required to present
separately the merits of each case, showing
wherein and by what particular means Crea-
ger had enticed the slaves to desert, and what
he did towards exciting slave insurrection.
He was satisfied that all slaves would be re-
turned to loyal owners upon representation
of the facts in each case.

These and similar outEages, such as break

the valnables found therein, have assumed
alarming proportions in our county, and loud
ly call for energetic measures of relief. If
something be not speedily done to arrest the
progress Of such lawlessness, no man among
Us can call what he now has his own
Some scribblers for the city papers pretend
TO think that these depredatons are commit

upon the subject, il is far more likely that they
are the acts of unprincipcd vagabonds hav-

FOR CLERK OF THE CIRCUIT COURT.
To the Voters of Montgomery County.

~ tuC VOlcfs Vi montgomery county:
MELLOW CITIZENS: At the repeated sng-
IL Vestions of prominent friends, from vari-
GUS sections OF the county, most respectfully
announce myself as a candidate at the cleo
ton next fall, FOR CLERK OF THE CIR
CUT COURT for Montgomery county.
Born and reared amongst you, naturally
feel deep interest in all that concerns my ma
tive land, and therefore, confidently entrust
my case in your hands-promising that, If
successful my whole energies shall be devoted
to the faithful and satisfactory discharge of the
duties Of the office If, therefore, Montgome-
ry has any favors to dispense, trust she will
so far consult her own interests as to confer
them upon her own children, and not as has
been frequently the case heretofore, bestow
them upon strangers, who, with but few excep-
tions have proven their ingratitude by even
tually cooperating with those who are labor
ing 10 destroy one Of Maryland's most valu-
ed institutions
To my old friends, who are scattered
throughout the county, would particularly
appeal for a renewed manifestation of the
friendship and support they have so generous
ly extended TO me on former occasions.
Not having, as yet, fully recovered from an
attack Of partial paralysis several months ago,
it will be out Of my power to travel as much
over the county, during the canvass, as ]
would wish; which fact will be received, I
hope, as a sufficient apology for any seeming
remssness, on nv part, to visit the people as
generally as otherwise would do.
Respectfully, GEO. G. PATTERSON.

any other man in this county since the war
commenced, has determined to sell off his en-
tire stock of merchandise, at cost or less, for

dealers to supply themselves with goods at
much reduced prices.

rum Htt 4hOOEc fFtOuIe.
About ten or twelve days ago, Captain ] .
Duke and some eighteen of our citizens, be-
lieving that they could make as successful an
excursion to the mouth of the Mississippi as
Captain Andrews and his crew, who captured
the Union steamer Fox some time ago. started
to make the attempt; but nothing was heard
Of their whereabouts or success until yester-
day, when fine tug propeller, called the Bos-
ton, arrived at the wharf, having the stars and
bars flying over the Abolition flag at the jack
staff
From the captors we learn the following
particulars of the voyage:
After lying in wait, like Macawber, for
something to turn up, and fighting musquitos
10 the swamps on Tuesday morning week
they saw the bark Lenox, Captain Cole, from
New York, with an assorted cargo Of Yankee
merchandise, making her way up the river to
New Orleans They boarded her, took the
captain, passengers and part Of the crew off,
sent the officers on Shore and then set fire 10
and burnt the bark.
The next day Wednesday, they made chase
after another short distance outside, and
which they overhauled. She proved to be
the bark Tezana, Captain WulR, also from
New York, with an assorted cargo of mer-
chandize. They boarded her, took the cap
ulni mhte, anu some Oh inc Crew On pOhru,
sent the balance on shore, helped themselves
to couple Of cases Of fine hats, and set fire
to and destroyed her.
Aiterward they saw the Boston towing the
ship Jenny Lind, with load Of ice, from Bos-
ton. They also boarded her, with their pis-
tolls drawn. Our informant says IL was quite
laughable to see the CONSERVATION Of the Abo-
litionists, many Of them exclaiming, told
you they were the damned Rebels p Here
we are, boarded by the damned Rebels p &c.
They cut the Boston froa the ship put all
hands on board, and made for home, bringing
some II or 10 prisoners, including Captains
Cole and Wulff, who are wel-known in this
city as old traders.
We learn that the expedition was fitted out
by our townsman, Mr.. Julius Buttner.

MORE OF WARREN'S PROPERTY Ia
KEN.-On Tuesday afternoon over one hum
dred hogsheads of tobacco, in government
wagons, arrived in Washington, which, prin-
cipally, had been taken under the auspices of
force sent by Col. Baker, chief detective of
the War Department, from the farm of John
H. Warren, Of Prince Georges county, who
is now confined in Fort Delaware, uuder SEN
tence of court-martial. The wagons referred
to were sent into Prince George'so on Saturday
last, and, it is alleged, that two Of the colored
teamsters were taken possession of by citizens
Of the county, residing in the vicinity. In
consequence, the chief detective sent hence
some cavalry, and seized four citizens of Ma

of them were subsequently, dismissed, but the
other two, r. w. and b. W. Pearie were
committed to the guard-house, to be there re-

Almost every day we hear of a new STAN
pede Of slaves in our county. Indeed, so fire.
quent have they become Of late that no sur
prise or comment is excited thereby. Our peo-
pie seem to have settled into apathy and in
difference on the subject. The latest case we
have heard of came off on Sunday night last
Some fifteen or more negroes, (mer, women
and children belonging to persons residing
in and near Cedar Point Neck, absconded that
night, and, breaking open barn, took out
large fat-bottomed boat, which they carried
off to the creek and thus made their escape
One gentleman, we understand, lost on this
occasion eleven of his negroes During the
past week not less than fifty negroes from this
vicinity have run off, and in several cases mas
tiers have been left without hands to work and
secure their growing crops.
On Sunday, the I'd instant, Mr.. Elijah Bos-
well, residing in Nanjemoy district, was ar
rested by party of Bakers detectives and
carried off by steamer to Washington. Soon
after his arrest Mr.. Boswell was placed under
guard and his house searched Locks, doors
and bolts were Unfortunately broken open
and the contents carried off or destroyed. We
learn that Mr. Boswell, among other losses, had
considerable sum OF money taken from him.
After a weeks detention in Washington he
was released, no charges, 1t seems, appearing
against him. Mr.. Boswells two sons were
arrested at the same time, and have not, we
understand, been released, up to the present
writing.
