Captain Arnold.

We learn, with pleasure, winch VIII Dc
shared by all the loyal Southerners OF East
Tennessee, that the President is on the point
of signing the pardon Of Capt. John G. Ar
mold, who is under sentence of Court Mar
tial to be shot for killing one Major Adrian.
Captain Arnold, who is scarcely twenty years
Of age, belongs to the best people OF East Ten
nessee, and be and his brother Reuben, were
the FIRST to unfurl the Confederate banner IN
that hot bed of Unionism at a time when others
dared not, except with bated breath, name
the word secession. His was the first compa:
nv raised in Tennessee, and up to the time OF
the unfortunate affair, for which he was Court
Martialed. he had devoted himself, with sig
nal courage and untiring energy, to the pro.
motion Of the Southern cause. He had been
engaged in several miner engagements, ana
took bart in the bloody battle Of Perryvllle:
The c;rcum stances Of the killing Of MAJOR
Adrian have been furnished us by q gentle
man who is in all respects trustwortny.--
Adrian had been commissioned to raise . bat
talon Of Partisan Rangers in East Tennessee
| Captain Arnold obtained permission 70 RAISE
! a company for the battalion. In very snor
time he Joined Adrian with one hundred ant
| twentv.Sye men, recruited in Greenvllie, nj
| native town. He and Adrian, however, 90
along iii together, and spon one occasion tn
latter called him q coward. This resulted Il
challenge from Captain Arnold, which d A.
rain refused, but at the same time droppe
expressions which induced Arnold to beiley
that he mediated foul play. Ameeting ens'
/ ed in which Arnold shot him. !.
4 The whole Tennessee delegation have uni
ed in the application for his pardon, the a. 9,
nouncement Of which will carry JOY TO tn
heart of devoted mother and thousan
friends in his native State Examiner.
