arrested, at his house on Seventeenth street,
between Main and Franklin streets, a Ger
man named A. W. Heinz, baker, upon the
charge of being prominent member OF the
reasonable association. He was further
more charged with melting confederate SOL
diers to mutiny and the assassination of the
President. The detectives seized along with
Heinz great number of the most important
papers, including the roll of the member
ship of the organization, and documents OF
such q character as to leave no doubt of his
crime, and the criminality of Others.
The documets were taken p' session OF
yesterday by General Winder, who ordered
Heinz to he placed in secure quarters at
Castle Thunder, and to allow him no CON-
municaticn whatever with any outside par.

Heinz, the reputed ringlcader has always
been looked upon as dsloyal man, and his
associates in treason are ell pretty much ol
his own character and social standing.
| 1t is possible that other arrests will follow
as the treason will be probed to its depth
no matter whom it affects.

H- GRANT PREPARED.-One OF our
cotemporaries, the New York Eceaiag Post,
is not at all disposed to regard the recent
movements Of Longstreet in East Tennessee
as likely TO lead to anything serious. It
argues that the recovery of Knoxville, and
even ali East Tennessee, would not be a
matter of much Importance TO the rebels,
until they could recover Caattanooga-inas-
much as that whole region is no longer a
source Of supplies, as it once was, having
been eaten out months, ago, and ''cannot
now support the native population, TO say
nothing Of d large AID hungry army" Al
the same time, as a military point il eanno,
be used by them willie We hold tie only
practicable outlets OF the valley, both noril
aud south. No rebel troops can be moved
through these while Grant has got the keys
in his hands. Longsircet, therefore, can
have no motive for undertaking serious
operations In East Tennessee, except the
mere point of honor, 10 wipe oil the stigma
Of his late defeats aud 10 regain his lost
prestige.

The House has made various amendments

those proposed by the Committee on Mill

will have to be sent to the Senate for their

proposed to make it $500. Both Houses,
however arc agreed on consolidating the

THE PRESIDENTS CALL FOR MORE
TROOPS.

TROOPS.
The late order of President Lincoln calls
for draft for five hundred thousand men.
to be made on the 10th of March, to serve
for three years or the war. The States
whose quotas have been filed on the two
previous calls will not be effected by the
present one. The new order is only CON
solidation of the two calls previously issued
for three hundred thousand men nearly half
of whom were obtained by volunteering and
re-enistnents, and which number, as well
as those enlisted up to the 1st Of March
next, will be credited. Therefore the cal! is
virtually only for two hundred thousand
men. If the enlistment Of soldiers is pro-
pefly and vigorously prosecuted there will
be no need Of any draft to FIJI the quota
demanded.
The New York Herald. in speaking of the
call for more troops, incidently remarks -
This large force when placed in the field
and added to that already in service, viii
make the Union army so overwhelming;
large that with proper energy and disposi
tion on the part of the government it mus
crush out what remains of the rebellion by
the Fourth of July next 1t is manlcstly
the determination of JEFF. Davis to infust
life into his followers by making desper
ate effort in the spring to recover Tenncsse
and the Mississippi. All men and boys il
the rebel States, from sixteen to ffty-fv
years Of age, not now in the service, are It
be forced into the ranks Of the army. Ne
groes are also to be employed as reserve
and train guards, in order to swell the ei
fectiye force in the field. 1t is estimatet
in the rebel newspapers that in April or Ma
their army will reach 100000 men, Win
are to be divided into four corps unde
Lee, Johnston, Beauregard and Longstreet
TO operate On short lines, so that they can b
easily and rapidly concentrated at any on
point. 1t will be impossible for JetI. Dayi
20 raise this force, even with the mos
sweeping conscription and the desperate al
of press-gangs. But IL is proper for on
government to base their calculations o
the rebel estimates, and prepare according
ly. The rebel line of operations now eS
tends from Fredericksburg to Mobile, an
from Chattanooga TO Charleston. This In
our forces under Grant, Banks, Meade an
Gilmore, if furnished with men and nateria
can sooE contract and tighten. Then, wit
one decisive blow, JEFF. Davis and hi
miserable government can be annihilAte
forever.
Under these circumstances let volunteer
ing be encouraged. Let local bounties /
fully offered and every man constitute hin
sslf aeommittee 10 urge forward enlistment
A strong, united and patrloi,e effort now " /
