Too Fast a General.

The operations Of the little army under
Gems. Blunt aud Heron in Western Ar
kansas, in December last-their marches,
their battles, and their stupendous achieve
ments, were the wonder of the whole
country. We supposed that that at leas,
was an army that would never disappoint
the country. But after these two officers
had given Hindman the most tremendous
whipping at Prairie Grove-after their
troops had marched from Fayetteville
across the Boston Mountains to Van Blu.

across the Arkansas River, had caught

dant supplies, and found plenty of forage
after the way was open and clear to Lit

Arkansas Gen. Sco6eld, who ranked both
Blunt and Heron, arrived on the field,
took command of the army, stopped its
progress and planted it on the banks of
the Arkansas River. 1t has not been
heard of since. Gen. Scoield was sick at
ST. Louis while the irrepressible Blunt
was performing his exploits. We fear The

Of that trouble Blunt was altogether free.

ARBITRARY ARRESTS.
From the Journals of Congress, 1777.

Whereas, The States of Pennsylvania
and Delaware are threatened With an i'm.
mediate invasion from . powerful srmy,
who have already landed at the head of
Chesapeake Bay; And, aohereas the prin-
ciples of policy and selfpreserva,ion re-
auire that all persons who may reasonably
be suspected of aiding or abetting the
cause Of the enemy may be prevented
from pursuing measures injurious to the
common veal:
Resolced, that the executive authori.
ties Of the States of Pennsylvania and Del
aware be requested to cause all persons
within their respective States notoriously
disafected, forthwith to be apprehended,
disarmed, and secured, till such time as
their respective States think they may be
released without injary to the common
cause.
Resolved, That it be recommended to
the Supreme Executive Council OF the
State Of Pennsylvania to cause dilligen.
search to be made. in the house of the in
habitants of the city of Philadelphia who
have not manifested their attachment to the
American cause, for fire arms. swords and
bayonets that the owners of the arms so
found be paid for them at an appraised val
ue, and that they be delivered to such Of
the militia of the State of Pennsylvania.
who are at present unarmed, and have been
called into the field.
On the above preamble and resolutions,
Mr.. Fisher, in his admirable work on
"The Trial of the Constitution" makes
these remarks:
A case occurred in Philadelphia in
1777. Some twenty gentlemen, of high
respeetabiIity, were arrested by order of
the Supreme Executive Council Of this
State, attbe instance of Congress, banish-
ed to town in Virginia, and theredetain-
ed. They were not treated as criminals,
but with consideration and kindness
Those who chose to declare their allegi-
ance to the Government were released,
and all were permitted to return to their
homes when it was thoug they could be
no longer dangerous.
These arrests were made with the knowl-
edgo aud appreciation of Washington. A
writ of habeas corpus was issued at the
instance of the prisoners. but it was DIS
regarded by the officer in charge of them.
and soon afterwards, Sept. 10th, 1777, the
Legislature passed bill indemnifying the
Executive Council, and suspending the
writ OF habeas corpus.

Despite the fact that they have never been
able to read his speeches, or see scarcely any
papers friendly to him or bic cause and have
only read most malignant lies concerning him,
they will support him; and this ls the reason:
They know that their fathers and brothers at
home, who have an opportunity Of reading both
sides, support Vallandigham; and they know
that their fathers and brothers are not traitors.
The Abolition papers ask the Democratic sol.
dlers from this county, ss well as other coun-
ties, to vote for John Brough, and thereby In.
dorse the lie that Vallandigham is traitor,
and that their fathers and brothers are traitors.
When the Abolition papers were telling the

we're traitors they overshot the mark, and they
have now found IL out, A soldier or any other
