From the Knoxville Regiater.
An Unpurchasabfe Patriot.
In recent ISSUE we called for the name of the hon
est patriot, who captured the renegade Tennesseean
spy and Federal recruiting officer Captain Harris anC
who refused tempting bribe to connive at his escape
In response to inquiry, have received commit
ncatiOn from the party himself. Mr.. James P Clark
of Boon's creek, Jonesboro, giving a crcutnstan
tial account of the capture Mr. Carks statement does
not differ materially from the facts have already
given He carried his prisoner to Greenvle and there
delivered him to the commandant of the post "On the
road, says Mr.. Clark, he made various offers to
give him chance to get away. replied to him that
| there was not money enough in the Southern Coned
eracy to bribe me to let brdge-burner go!" All
honor to Mr. Clark bis sterling fidelity to his govern
ment will be admired by every patriotic Southern man
From the Greenville Banner learn that there is
also another whose honor stood the test of the empe
Harris seductive offers. Philip Warck, private OF
Captain Hensons company, 63d North Carolina regi-
ment the guard detailed to deliver the prisoner
the authorities at Knoxville. We quote the Banner
Captain Harris offered bribe of ten thousand dol
lars, to Mr. Warlick to let him make his escape to
which the guard replied, Sir, am poor man, have
wife and six children to support but you have not
ernment has not money enough to hire to disgrace
myself and family in any such manner. Sir, said
Warlick, set out to serve my country hOnOrably
and repeat, your government has not money enough
to bribe ae to so dishonorable an act"
Mr. Warllck is poor, but very intelligent and
clever gentleman, and brbe OF ten thousand dollars
was temptation to him. The of such true SOL
diers and patriots Mr. Warlick; will adorn The his
torcal pages of the present barbarous and inhuman
| war upon the South
" The offer of Capt. Harris, was TO pay $1,000 in
hand, and to secure to Mr.. Wartick the payme Ut d
$4,000 more and the plan suggested tor bis escape was
to let him start to run, and for the guard to f-e his
| gun though be trying to shoot him..
| We are happy to believe with contemporary thai
Mr.. Warck, in this, is a true type of our Southern
sodiery We think, also that such iusran OF heroic
sedenal and answering devotion to daty end Loyalty
are as deserving of public record deeds of vaor or
| the battlefield. We have the highest authority fo
saying that he who governs hrlse-restrains his de
sires and passions and ressts temptations mghte
| than he who ruleth kingdom. Let the names o
Clark and Warlck, then be handed down to honorab!
fame in the history of the heroes of this revelation.
Before dismissing this bject, would advert to
| single passage in james P Clarks statement. Wher
| Harris was questioning him, in order to ascertain
whether be was Union man, he several times made
peculiar sign by raising his hand. Men suspected
being traitors and spies, have frequently heen notice.
