On Saturday last a man wearing the. uni
form Of aConfederate soldier-c claiming, the
position of a Lieutenant Colonel of Artillery,
and calling himself Major MAuRY, 7. De Es-
TELLA, and several other names, which We are
at at this time unable to- oall to memory; was
arrested as aauspicious character, and confined
in jail: He is supposed to be an emisary of
the LINCOLN government, and will no doubt
be sent to Richmond for trial. It becomes us
to be vigilant, and always on the alert, for our
country, at this time, is certainly infested With
such characters.

publican" we believe that editors, if they do
their duty, can effect far more for struggling
cause with the pen than they can with the
sword, and such opinion has dictated the past
policy of our Congress with regard to them;
but in extreme cases requiring the aid of every
man in the field, we always believed chat the
members of the Press are as much bound to
shoulder their muskets ds anybody else. The
day Of the pen will have passed, and the sword
and baIonet must take its place. 1t is his
! home, his rights, his liberties to bedefended,
and be should not hesitate, under any pretext,
to take up arms against the invader. E.
