A GALENA REBEL ARRESTED Some
six weeks ago, man named Henry Mis-
ener, formerly citizen Of this place, and a
steamboat runnar on the Mississippi river,
was intown, and stated to person here
that he hs been for some time serving as
an Office a the rebel army, and that he
bad retul / home to sell some land which
he owned in Wisconsin. He said that as
soon as he could dispose Of his land, and
pocket the greenbacks. he should return
South and take command Of company in
the Rebel army. Aa soon as these facts
became generally known( which was MOI till
few days ago), meeting Of our loyal cit
izens was held, and 4 committee appointed
70 hunt up the scamp and hand him over
to the proper authorities. Before sufficient
time had elapsed for the committee to take
steps in the case, the Grant County Herald
came to hand, containing notice OF hisa~-
rest. We hardly think, with the Herald
that he will be exchanged as an ordinary
rebel prisoner. He ought to pull hemp
