bodies Of men freed by the Presidents
Proclamation. He says the fact that so

economy and great rapidity with which
the road could be driven forward by the
employment Of these people makes this
subject worthy Of the most liberal dis

The correspondent Of the Philadel-
phia Inquirer, writing from Washington
the oath says, there is intelligence here
to-day Of an important arrest at Fal-
mouth, the headquarters Of the Army
Of the Potomac. 1t being evident that
rebels had some secret means Of know
ing everything that transpired within our
lines, and that such information was in
stantly conveyed to them, Gen. Patrick,
the Provost Marshal of the Army, was
determined that the secret should be
brought to light. Consequently the
guards stationed along the river bank
in the situations favorable for signals
have been constantly enioined to use the
utmost care and watchfulness.
Yesterday their efforts were crowned
with success. One Of the guards in the
town Of Falmouth, stationed outside the
dwelling adjoining the brick Church on
the river bank, heard a clicking like that
Of a telegraph instrument He advised
his superior officer and was directed to
enter the house and Investigate. This
was forthwith done. On opening the
door he discovered a party Of four or
five persons, one of whom was seated at
a telegraph instrument sending MESA
ges by sub marine telegram wire across
the Rappahannock.
They were all arrested, and as their
offense is Of extraordinary atrocity, just
and speedy punishment will doubtless be
atlonce melted Quito them. Thispunish-
ment according to law, is death by hang
ing.

DIED.-At Sioux City, Of spotted fever,
Willie 0. P.rkhurst, twin son of Lemuel
aud Amelia L. Parkhurst, aged ten years
and nine months.
Willie has gone-but gone to lire-not
only in the cherished remembrance of all
who knew him, hut to lie in that beaut.
ful land where angels dwell. The terrible
disease, spotted fever, carried him off after
an illness Of a few days. Mr.. Parkhurst
moved to Sioux City from an adjoining
county about nine months ago, but during
this short time bis family have become
very much endeared to this community,
so tina, all sympathize with them in the
loss Of their precious boy. Willie pos.
sessed many remarkably interesting traits
Of character. At the day school he was
always found in his place-punc,ual to
the minute, aud very conscientious. In
scholarship he classed among the frs, Of
bis age. His ambition exceeded his con
stitution. He was constant mem Der of
the Sabbath School-wbere he loced to be.
In bis short sickness he often spoke of
the S. s., and thanked bis dear mother
that she had sent him to the S. s., where
he learned OF the Savior, who was now so
precious to him. He seemed to have
premonition of his death, and often ex-
pressed his willingness to die. He divid>
ed his little keepSakes sNong lis brothers,
add told them to prepare to meet him in
Heaven" he was going to be an angel
None who who knew Willie will doub,
shat he is an angel.
The funeral was attended by large
number, and it was season ever to be
remembered by all. especially by his
schoolmates and his teacher.
Willie has gone, but he leaves a ght
in the window" Oh may all be prepar-
ed to meet him. Con-.
