Having been recently arrested by order of
the Enrolling Officer for Washington county,
and believing myself improperly dealt by in
the arrest, think it due tc myself as citi.
zen, and an officer holding commission as
It. Col. Of the 10th Reg,,t Va Militia, to make
a brief statement of the facts preceding my
arrest.
During the session of Maj. Terry's Conscript
Court for Washington county, / presented my
SELF but did so protesting against my conscrip-
ton as illegal. Maj. Terry very kindly indi-
ted note for me to the Secretary of War,
stating the grounds of my claim of exemption
as a commissioned officer, &C., and gave me a
furlough of 90 days, in order to have time to-
hear from the Secretary upon the subject
Prior TO the meeting Of the Board at Abing-
don, wrote to Adjt. Gen. Richardson and al
so to Gov. fletcher, asking them if commits
stoned militia officers were exempt from enroll
nent as conscripts, but though had written
in time to get an answer, got none till after
my arrest-thc letter having been written me
on the 7th inst. The cause Of delay in re-
spending to my letters was-the matter had
been referred to the Secretary of War for his
decision.
On the 23d February, Mr.. VIM. T. Horne,
who has contract with the Confederate Go
vernment to tan and furnish n certain quaint
ty of leather per month. employed and detail
ed me to procure tan,bark for his establish
mcht, stating when he did so, that he had the
right under his contract. On the day of the
expiration of my 20 days furlough, / went to
Abingdon and reported to Mr.. James Clark,
one Of the Enrolling Officers for Washington
county. showed him the detail of Mr.. Horne,
which he approved and so endorsed. / acted
in good faith in the whole matter, and will
leave the public to judge for themselves, now
as the facts are before them.
1t is proper should state that, as COM
lnissioned officer, l have obeyed erery call
made by the Executive of Virginia upon me,
and held myself ready to obey any and all
others made, either by the State or Confede-
rate authorities, when properly and legally
made. AS a field officer, | did prefer not to
go into the ranks as a private, I am free to
confess, and in this suppose will not be
considered singular land further, / did not
believe my health was such as to enable me to
endure the hardships of camp life as private.
will not say my arrest was suggested by
my enemies, but have my own opinion about
it. WIN. S. RYBURN.

NOTICE.-An erroneous impr ssion prevails
IN that the transportation of provisions is pro-
hibited over this railroad. Such is not the case.
All supplies intended for private consumption
have always been shipped upon application, and
the only prohibition is that placed by the Gene
raj Commanding the Department, whose object
was to preserve them for the use Of the army.
This order lie has always relaxed when applied
to by private parties for bacon, &C., for their
own consumption, but has been so refused spe-
culators, to prevent improper speculation in the
necessaries of life. Notice is therefore given to
parties needing provisions for their own use,
that the same will be permitted transportation
times furnished by the road. Application will
be made either to Mr. Dodamead, General Bu-
perintendent, or myself, and transportation viii
be ordered. r. L. OWEN, President.
