TARY AUTHORITIES RESISTED BY AN
ARMED Mona disgraceful occur
renee took place in Hoskinsville, Noble
County, on Thursday, the 18th inst.
the particulars Of which so far as we
have been able to gather them are
as follows: Corporal Davidson, oi
the 115th Ohio, and four soldiers
from Cincinnati, were sent out by the
Military authorities, to Hoskinsville,
Noble County, to arrest ore ]. Wesley
McFaren, deserter from Co. G, 18th
Ohio regiment, who had been induced
to desert by notorious traitor by the
name OF Tertullus w. Brown, a citizen
Of Hoskinsville, who hid written TO
McFsrep, advising him to desert, and
assuring him that the authorities
would not be permitted to arrest him
should they make the attempt. This
fact being reported to Marshal Sands
Of Cincinnati, he sent his Deputy,
Samuel Colby, under instructions from
the District Attorney. in company with
the soldiers, to arrest Brown for coun-
selling desertion. By some means the
traitors Of Hoskinsville and vicinity had
learned that squad of soldiers were
coming to arrest Brown & McFarsn,
and the trsitorous towards to the num-
Der OF two hundred, armed with rifles.
collected together to prevent the ar
rests. On the arrival of the. soldiers
and Deputy Marshal. the mob informed
them that they must leave the county
within six hours, and il they did not
do so they would hang them. Seeing
the impossibility Of making the arrests
with their small force, the soldiers left.
Two companies of United States
troops in company with Marshal SANDS.
have gone to Noble County, with full
power to arrest every one concerned in
this disgraceful proceeding. and up to
the time of going to press we have not
heard from the expedition. 1t is our
opinion the scoundrels will be taught
lesson they will not soon forget. The
soldiers we're eager for brush with
the butternuts.
LArER.--We clip the following from
the Cincinnati Gazette of Monday in
reference to the military expedition
sent to Noble County, Ohio:
Two hundred insurgents were armed
and organized, having elected the de-
serter Captain Of their band. They
formed. a regular camp, kept their fires
burning, and their pickets out on
Thursday night. and were very brave
until the soldiers got within nine miles
OF their headquarters. About that
time courage failed and they skedsd-
died, scattering through the woods,
where they remained during Friday
night, getting the full benefit of cold
rain. A large number of arrests were
made on Saturday morning. The
names Of over one hundred Of the in
surgents had been obtained, and most
if not all of these will be taken into
custody,

MOND EXAMINER.
THE SOUTH TO EXPECT REvERsEs
A GOOD UNION DEMOCRAT,
9lst Reg. o. V. l.

HEADo'Rs ARMY OF THE PoToMAc,
March 90.
The Richmond Examiner Of yester
day has an extraordinary leader, the
tone Of which is evidently intended tC
prepare the public mind Of the South
for serious reverses on the line of the
Rappahannock. 1t commences as fol-
lows:
1.-THE active operations Of the Fed
eral army under Hooker are now COM
menced, and either a decisive battle or
retreat of Gen. Lee must be the speedy
consequence. The latter contingency
is possible, but not probable. and anoth-
er heavy struggle over the line OF the
Rsppahannock may be safely antici-
pated."
After speculsting upon the supposed
plan Of General Hooker, and the
strength and probabilities Of the success
Of Lees forces, the editor remarks:
"If, however, the Confederate force
is not sufficiently numerous to prevent
the completion Of the maneuver. it is
supposed that no course remains but to
fall back upon some point nearer Rich
mOnd, and give the enemy battle at
greater distance from his base"
There is nothing of Importance from
any scene OF active operations in the
field. There was heavy fall Of snow
here during the day and last night.

Ar HOME
MY DEAR Mas. ***+**
After my compliments to you and yours
l want to say that l am SO glad that
you have taken your family away from
that Union Methodist sunday school
and are sending them to Mr.. l. it
looks so much better for our old sab
bath school to be supported by its old
friends You understand that our
church is secession church strictly
we have changed the prayer and in the
Sabbath School we do not use the pray
er for the president as we are not al
lowed to prsy for president Davis we
can't think Of praying for president
Lincon, you csn not blame us for this
for we don't acknowledge him as our
president.
IL you were to mingle freely for a
while and attend our circle and have
nothing to do with them federal officers,
l am sure you would think and feel as
We do. IfMr. Smith ever returns Of
course he'll be as good secessionist as
ever and our members must all be true
iecessionists or leave the church snd
We can't bear the idea OF having you
repelled from the sacrament for the
oolish idea of sticking to the Union.
You must either give up the Union
Dr. the Church, and / think it is your
iuty to give up the Union. True we
lave looked upon you with some degree
d indifference since your last marriage
but l hope you will forget that and not
f,rsake the church because we have
sighted you.
As you have placed A. and the
other children under our care in the
Sabbath School we will do our best to
train them up in the way they should
go and my plan is to instil secession
sentiments in the minds of all the
children.
You must know Won can not but
see il that the only respectable society
we have is kept by secessionists the
Yankees of the North are not fit for
good society and the Union people Of
the South are no better it will be to the
interest .f your children to have them
trained Up in the principles of secession.
Iwouh come down and talk the mat
ter over with you but our people are
so curious that l don't like to visit
down there in that part of the town
and they would talk about it il they
should see me down there.
l thought I could do as well by
writing please bear these things in
mind. Twill converse with you on the
subject the first good opportunity.

THE DRAFT IN NEW YORK.

The renewal of the draft in New York city
yesterday was not attended by any outbreak
or disturbance.
The Governments military prepar ations in
that quarter have been such rs that the cop
perhead politicians and other aiders and abet.
tors Of the rebellion there, dare not continue
their labors 10 place The city again at the mer-
cy Of a mob of thieves and other such char
acters.
The result OF the quiet cons ummation of the
draft there in its effect upon our cause in
Europe, as well as throughout the South, will
be of AS great importance as the winning of an
important victory in the field could be. In
Europe the battle of Gettysburg, Lees sudden
retreat, the fall of vicksburg and Port Hud :
son, and the condition OF affairs at Charleston,
have, together, shorn the rebel agents and sym
pathizers in that quarter OF the world of all
hope save in that of q counter revolution in
The North, TO be initiated in Now York city
As futile as all in our loyal States know any
such hope TO be, il is nevertheless the only
hope left them.
In the South, when it becomes known that the
draft has been successful everywhere, and has
passed of quietly In New York, there will be
prompt demonstrations in various quarters
sgainst the further prosecution of the war; SIM
liar to those that are taking place now in North
Carolina. The hopelessness of the cause of the
olgarchy will quickly break their power, under
the influence OF the efforts of the leaders Of the
Union party who were driven into the rebel
lion by force OF the arms in the hands of the
conspirators and their tools There are unnis-
taxable signs that powerful Union party is
about TO raise its head in every State in rebel :.
lion except South Carolina, going before the
people on the plea that all the troubles the South
has suffered have been brought about by the
original secession leaders, who must be put
down promptly TO save what the war they in
itiated for their own aggrandizement, has left to
the people there.
The certainty that the armies of the Union
will shortly be 100000 stronger through the
draft, taking away any lingering hope, as it
does, that the war schemes Of the conspirators
may possibly succeed, will do much, indeed,
10 secure influence and power Tor the anti Sc
cessionists, who, as explained above, are nov.

OUR MILITARY BUDGET.
THE POSITION IN OUR FRONT.

THE POSITION IN OUR FRONT.
The army correspondent of the New York
Tribune announces the retirement of our cavalry
east of the Rappahannock, "a mistake,) and
says that il Is proposed TO move our army uu-
der Meade to closer proximity to Washington
Tor the present. Also, that 1t is proposed to

ments of Lees army, he says:
1.-THE rebels have extended their line of
pickets to the Rappahannock, the army stretch
ing fr6m Madison Court House to Fredericks-
burg. Longstreets corps has the right OF the
lire, Hill is along the Rapidan from Madison
Court House to EIy's Ford, and Ewell's corps
is encamped around Gordonsville, within sup
porting distance of Hill. Stuarts cavalry is
all at Culpeper, and is doing nothing.
1t is evident that Lee contemplates offensive
operations. His army has been cautiously
moving in the direction OF the lower fords Of
the Rappahannock for some time, and our
Commanding Generals have looked from day
to day for demonstrations against our left"
Lee would doubtless endeavor to strike
blow, if he thought he could do so effectively.
HIS ability to that end is, however, too doubt
ful to justify the attempt, we apprehend. Most
OF the changes that have recently taken place
in the locations of some of the troops composing
Meade's army have been for temporary purpo-
ses only; others for sanitary reasons. No such
change has been made either in the number or
positions of our troops there as offer Lee in
ducements to risk his force east of the Kappa
hammock.
The drafting has already so added to the
strength of our army as that he would proba.

toe passing to and fro OF troops being much
greater now than usual. Judging from what
we have seen, it is hard to tell whether more
have come down the railroad than have gone
UP since Meade reached the Rappahannock.
We state these facts that the public may un-
derstand that the milltays necessities in this
quarter are as closely attended to by the au-
thorines. as those elsewhere. r
