Wonder if we have any such patriots in

than patriots, who take our citizens to
other counties for the sake of big bountes,
and pocket the fees?
The quota of Clarion borough was
filed by men taken by George W. Ar

running the gauntlet Of sharks and hang

received the Slj fee for them, i0hich he

Fitzpatrick, at the head of 5000 picked
cayalrymen left the army Of the Potomac
on the 28th ult., for the purpose of making
a sudden dash into Richmond, and cap
turing the city, if possible but at least to
liberate the Union prisoners confined
there. When approaching the city, he
divided his force, Col Dagreen taking 500
men to make a circuit to the west of the
city and attack it from the south, simul-
taneously with the attack to bo made by
the main force on the north side. Dal-
green secured negro to PLOT him, who
betrayed him and led him many miles in
the wrong direction. Tie result was that,
after hanging the negro to the limb of a
