A TREE HEwN BY BULLETS.

"Most people" says the Richmond
Enquirer, shave doubted the literal ac-
curacy of the despatch concerning the bat
tie of Sottsylvania, which alleged that
trees were cut down under the concentrat-
ed fire of mimic balls. We doubted the
literal fact ourselves, and would doubt it
still but for the indisputable testimony
Of DR., Charles Macgill, an eyewitness of
the battle. The tree stood in the rear of
our breast works, at point upon which
at one time the most murderous musketry
fire that ever was heard of was directed.
The tree fell inside our works, and injured
several of our men. After the battle, DR..
Macgill measured the trunk, and found
it twenty-one inches through. and sixty
one inches in circumference, actually hack
ed through by the awful avalanche of bull
lets packing against it, The foliage of
the tree was trimmed away as effectually
as though an army of locusts had swarm
ed in its branches. A grasshopper could
not have lived through the pcltiug of that
leaden storm, and but for the fact that
our troops were protected by breastworks,
they would have been swept away to a
man."

The Ohio Legislature.

We take great pleasure in welcoming the
members of new Legislature to Columbus
Many of them we know to be gentlemen
eminently qualified to discharge Alright, and
to the satisfaction of their constituents, the
high and responsible duties which devolve
upon Representatives Of the people. AL
though the Republican majority is even
greater than it was in the last General AS
sembly, there is legitimate ground for be-
lieving that, on the whole, it is a decided
improvement on the Legislature of Sixty
two and Sixty-three. May we not hope that
this will be manifest throughout all the
proceedings Of the session which begins to-
morrow?
AS we write, Saturday afternoon,) there
is much "pulling and hauling and button
holding" on the part of the numerous can
didates for the offices-of the Senate and
House, and their friends, each expressing
great confidence that uccess will crown
his efforts. Before we 60 to press we hope
to have the result of the caucus, which will
decide this scramble for the privilege of
pocketing the per diem, from the, State
Treasury, that goes to the successful COM
petitors for the various legislative offices.
A large proportion ofthe members of both
branches are in the city; but number of
them are still absent.

President Lincoln will DO Any.
thing TO Please the Radicals.

The Journals Washington correspondent
saws, under date of Dec. 81, that ''the Presi-
dent has at last, it seems, been persuaded to
regard the representatives of freedom 1.-THE
Radical Abolitionists] of Missouri as am
ounting to somewhat more than faction.
He now recognizes them as the true Union
men of the State. In conference with
GRATz BRowN and others held at his own
solicitation, he gave assurances that he
would conclude the whole difficulty in ANY
WAY that would be perfectly satisfactory to
the Radical men of Missouri. If to them"
the Journals correspondent adds, lit will
also be satisfactory to Radical men all over
the Union"
We quote the above to Illustrate the posi-
tion in which the revolutionary Jacobins
are placing the President as the slave and
tool of their Disunion faction. Here is a
Government official, growing fat and sleek
at the public crib, who asserts that Mr..
LINCOLN has pledged himself to settle a
difficulty between the Conservatives and
Radical Jacobins in Missouri in ANY Way
no matter what or how--to the perfect sat
isfaction of the latter. Furthermore, the
same official tells the country that the Pres
ident recognizes these Abolition Disunion-
lists as the true Union men of Missouri. If
of that State, then, in Mr.. LINcoLN's estima-
tion, they are the true Union men ofa 9TH
er States. If ABRAHAM LINCOLN is bound to
follow the lead of Radical Disunionists. it
is easy to see that his Administration, as
long as it continues, will be fraught with
still further disaster and ruin to the coun-
try, until the work of destruction is com
plete.

Report of the Confederate Secre.
tary Of the Navy--.lmpOrtant Dis

ctOSuEeS-
The report Of Mr.. Mallory, the Confed-
crate Secretary of the Navy, contains full
confirmation of the statements heretofore
published concerning the plot to release the
rebel prisoners on Johnson's Island. Mr..
Mallory reports as follows:
3 "During the months of July and August
sent twenty-seven commissioned officers
and forty trrIstwol thy petty officers to the
British Provinces, with orders to organize
an expedition and cooperate with army
officers In an attempt to release the Confed-
crate prisoners confined on Johnson's Island,
OH Lake Erie. From time to time learned
that the arrangements made were such as to
insure the most complete success. A large
amount of money had been expended, and
just as our gallant naval officers were about
to sail on this expedition the English au-
thorities gave information to the enemy,
and thus prevented the execution of one of
the best planned enterprises of the present
war;"
In relation to the building of ironclad
vessels in Europe for the Confederates, the
Secretary says that early in the present year
his agents contracted for eight vessels of
that class, five of which were to be built In
England and three in France. He alludes
to the seizure of the vessels built in the
Mersey, and remarks that "another and
larger vessel has since been completed, but
it is doubtful if she will be allowed to leave
the shores of England, although it is be-
lieved the precautions taken arc sufficient
to exempt her from the fate of her consorts."
The vessels being constructed In France
have been subject to 80 many official visi-
tations, that Mr.. Mallory forwarded instrue-
tions to cease operations upon them for the
present.
In this connection" says the Secretary,
ait Is proper for me to state that the great
revolution in popular sentiment, both in
England and France, toward the ,Confed-
crate Government, has rendered our efforts
to obtain supplies from those countries al
most abortive. In view of all possible con-
tingencies, have instructed the agents of
this Department to wait a more favorable
opportunity for carrying out the instruc-
tions previously forwarded. BY the last
courier sent instructions that will shortly
be made apparent to our enemies nearer
home.o .ss. ,........ .-,-...
The services of Captain Semmes, in the
= Alabama, are spoken of with high appro-
baton: q.
"During the year he has captured up
ward of ninety vessels, seventy Of which he
destroyed, the others being either bonded
or released. One of the greatest drawbacks
this officer repor.s. having experienced, is
the difficulty he now has in procuring full
supplies of coal. The provincial English
authorities have hitherto afforded him every
facility, but recently they have interpreted
their neutrality laws so stringently, that
our war vessels and privateers are much
embarrassed In obtaining suitable sup
plies" 49,. .asis.-sp ~

Murderer---He was Caught i'm a
Hay-MOw.--The Prisoner Slight
Iy Wounded.
Frederick Il. Streeter who murdered the
Coy family at Medina some months since,
and who broke Jail on Christmas eve was
captured yesterday afternoon at Richfeld
under the following circumstances Messrs.
Sanders, of Medina, and Nelson, Of Granger,
whowere searching through the county for
Streeter. became convinced, from certain
circumstances that their game was secreted
at the house of one Hart, of Richtield, who
married the murdcrer's cousin. They ac-
cordingly proceeded to Hart's residence,
made known their business, and demanded
the whereabouts of Streeter. Hart denied
any knowledge of the latter. Sanders and
Nelson then searched the house from cellar
to garret, but in vain.
They then transferred operations to the
barn. Selling couple of pitchforks, they
commenced general overturning Of the
hay NOW. in hopes of finding the object OF
their search concealed therein, but without
avail. Noticing pile of straw in one cor
ner of the barn, however, that looked as
though it had been recently disturbed, they
plunged their forks into it. No response
was elcted, but as the forks evidently came
in contact with something besides straw,
Ine laCUer was IHOrOuRHiy SCdIUereu WHICH,
the crouching form of Streeter was exposed
to view. One of his pursuers Immediately
presented revolver at the murderer's head,
and threatened to blow his brains out if he
made the least resistance. Streeter then
quietly succumbed, and remarked: 'It's all
up; now Twill 90 back to Medina and be
hung" 1t appeared that one of the pitch
forks had severely punctured the prisoner
in one of his legs; but, severe as must have
been the pain, the fellow made no cry, but
maintained the most perfect silence until
discovered. "l19
1t seems strange that Streeter allowed
himself to be captured in such au unresist-
ing manner. Whether or not he was armed
we are unable to say; Lut we should sup
pose that an escaped prisoner under SEN
tence of death, would rather be killed in
self-deiense than be captured-death being
his doom in any event. tr
The various rewards offered for the muir
derers capture amounted in all to about
four thousand dollars. Thus Messrs. San
ders and Nelson have made ''handsome
thing" out of their operation.
