John Va 8Otts' Friais in the COmfcderacy.
New YORK, Nov. 22-John NJ. Bolts pub
fishes lengthy letter in the Richmond En-
aminer, in which he says What | want is
a government that has the will and power to
protect my person and my property against
all abuses, and that | would prefer living as
| did before the war, to living as l have done
since the war; is beyond all question:; and |
would be mailman or fool if did not, and
knave and hypocrte if | were to pretend
otherwise" He complains that the power of
the legislative branch of the government has
been especially directed against him; second,
that the power of the executive branch Of the
government has been eXerted against him,
when under this detestable, unwritten, and
unknown code called martial law, upon
no charge preferred which they dared
to present before the court of inquiry.
They had him arrested in his bed, hur-
ried to filthy negro Jail, where he was kept
in solitary confinement for eight weeks, when
with all the vigilance and research of their nu-
merouS detectives, they gould find nothing on
which to hinge charge, and now comes
second arrest without a charge, whilst the
army itself has been turned loose upon him to
destroy his property by design and by the or
ders of officers in high command, md but for
guard from the headquarters of General Lee,
none can tell TO what condition he would have
been reduced. Mr.. Bolts says ''Have |, then,
Mr.. Editor, had much reason for attachment
or devotion to government by which have
been thus treated.
| want no better yindication for having
withheld my approval of this war than is to
be found in the fact that there is not one of
those who aided in bringing it ON that would
do it, if with their present experience, it had
to be gone over again, or if they could have
foresecn what has followed, all of which did
foresee and foretold. Hitherto | have been
silent, says Mr. Bolts, as to the wrongs, iniu-
ries and indignities that have been heaped
upon me, but | am not spaniel, to lie down
and crouch at the bidding of any master, nor
to lick the hand that smites me, and if | am
thus to be selected as a particular object of
persecution, and can find no protection from
the law, then will | protect myself. This |
cannot do against the government or against
the army, but can and will do it when the
law, military and civil, both fail me against
any one man that this confederacy can boast.
| cannot be induced to swerve one hairs
breadth from the line of conduct that my own
judgment and conscience may dictate, which
Is to take no lot part, or share in the respon-
siblity that rests upon those who have
brought this whirlpool of desolation and ruin
upon my unfortunate country. But if to ad-
here firmly and consistently to the opinions
and principles that l nave maintained for
thirty years, and if to prefer living as | did be-
fore the war to living as have done since the
war makes me a traitor, then traitors life
let me live or a traitors death let me die.

One of General Binks' staff officers
writes to Il friend at Washington that a large
quantity of cotton was captured near Browns
vile, and expeditions had been sent up the
Rio Grande to gather in all they could. 1t Is
thought that 100000 bales will be thrown into
the market by the occupation of Texas. The
Union men of Brownsville, who hailed with
delight the capture OF the place by our forces,
are forming themselves into defensive organ
izations, and rendering valuable service as
scouts.

Part Of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail

FEDERAL FORCE SENT TO MEET THEM.

HARRIsBURa, Tuesday, April g. 1881
The Rebels In considerable force have marched on
and captured Morgantown Va, and threaten PenN-
sylvania with invasion. The force is commanded
by the Rebel General, Jenkins and is said 70 be
composed OF 1000 cavalry. The Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad is destroyed between Cumberland and
Grafton.
The Rebel flag was floating from the Court House
in Morgantown at A o'clock yesterday afternoon.
Men, women, and children are flying in ali dirsc-
tons. ...... -..r
Pittsburg is thought to be in danger, though the
Cheat River not being fordable it will probably pre-
vent the Rebels coming much further North.
This information comes from q trustworthy
source, and is dated UnoDtown, Penn. ..
SECOND DISPATCH.
The reports from the southwestern part OF the
State are very contradictory owing to the excite
ment among the inhabitants.
There seems 70 he no doubt that the Rebels have
taken Morgsntown. and are there in force. Some
reports make them 5000, others 1000.
They are commanded by Gen. jenkins, who has
made himself famous by bis cavalry exploits in
Western Virginia. Union troops are in nsstion 10
intercept him.
Artillery will be sent from here immediately and
as the authorities at Washington fully insrmed
Of the affair, everything will be done to drive gu,
the invaders. There is great excitement on tn.
subject here.
BALTIMORE. Tuesday, April 20. lsea
There are many wild stories ahoat here to-day Of
the Rebel depredations in Western Virginia on the
line of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. ''s
Information, believed to be trustworthy, states that
some guerrilla cavalry penetrated to ROwlesburg

of and no damage was done to the road or Gover.-
