BERT D. BoILEAU, and his Incarceration
in Fort NJ M'IIenry, by order of Mai.-Gcn:
ScHENcK, and his subsequent release, has
beer the event of the week. The imme-
diate cause of the arrest was the publlca
tioD in his paper of long editorial arti-
clio on the Message of JEFF. DAVIS,
praising it as trustworthy, truthful, and
noble; and in these respects, contrasting
DAVIS with President LINCOLN, the lat
ter in this connection being made the
subject of most outrageous calumRy and
abuse He analysed JEFE. s performance
thoroughly and admirmgiy, quoted from
it literally, and endorsed it emphati cally,
even to the suggestion which proposes, IN
revenge for the Emancipation Proclama-
tion. the wholesale massacre Of our officers
who may be captured. He printed twice
over JEFF's averment that the war Is
waged on the part of the Union ;'for no
other purpose than revenge, and thirst
for blood, and plunder of private proper
ty;" and said, applaudingly, "This is
absolutely true, and cannot escape history
any more than Mr.. LINCOLN himself
can"
In short, this Democratic organ, in this
rare old manifesto of undisguised Treason,
re-echoes and endorses the positions of
the President of the so-called Confederate
States throughout, exactly as if JEFE.
himself were to-day the Democratic Pres
ident of a RECONSTRUCTED Union, and LIN
coin fugitive in Canada, on his way to
European exile.
So Mr. BoILEAU was arrested and taken
to Fort NJ Henry, by the military power,
and the Ereniny Journal suppressed for
the time being, as reasonable publica-
ton. Whereupon, Judge LUDLOW, OF
the Philadelphia Quarter Sessions, imme-
diately requested the Grand Jury to drop
all other business, forthwith inquire into
the facts of the case, and report to the
Court-which the Grand Jury. did In
the State Legislature, in the Senate, some
resoluti6ne were offered authorizing the
Governor to proceed to Washington ard
demand Mr. BIS release-all of which
were referred to the Committee on Federal
Relations.
Pending these proceedings, Mr.. Bolt
EAU was released from 'durance vile"
upon his pronunciation of the following
card, in which he expresses his regret for
the publication of the article in question,
distinctly disayows its authorship, and
promises to ''go and sin no more
