THE ARREST OF GEN TooMBS FOR Urea
soHABLE MISUNDERSTANDING excitement
was OccusiOned in Richmond by the announce
ment of the arrest Of Gen Robert ToonIbs At Sa
yannah on the charge of using reasonable and
disloval language The Richmond papers EN-
deayur 10 smoOthr it but il seems there really
was something in it, The Enquirer OF the 18th
gives the following report oft: The case, ny
reported to us, is Us follows: General IoomOs
had taken the cars in Savannah without pass
port The officer on the train whose duty Il was
10 examine pass ports called, in the discharge "t
his duty. upon Mr. Toombs far his passport. VT
Tuombs had no passport and no Informed the
officer, and said that he would not procure any
adding that he was General Robert IOOmhS, ana
owed allegiance to Georgia and no other Govern
ment. and tina. his state did not require her citi.
zens TO travel with passes and passports and that
he would not procure Il passport. The ohcer ~.
formed General ToOmbs that his orders allowed
him no discretion but required OF him not 10 per
init any man 10 pass without PASSPORT. Ten
ToonlhS still refusing TO procure passport. was
elected from the cars by the guard. \ crowd Of
citizens and soldiers having collected, General
Toombs proceeded 10 haranGue them in An cN'
cited and bitter manner, and in diSoya and trra
Sonahle language. General Bpaurcgard being III
Savannah aud hearing the facts, ordered the ar
rest and confinement Of Gen. Toomhs. and he was
taken in charge by guard. An old lady. who
was returning from visiting her soldier SONS, wit.
messed the arrest. We'll well, we'll - says the
old lady, "they have got Bob TUolnbs ] heard
him say he'd swallow the blood ofall the Yankees
tina, came South Well, well. well he can swal'
low all he sheds" The remarks Of the old lady
caused burst of laughter, in the midst OF which
the train moved off. We sincerely hope there is
no truth in this report rs TO Gen. Toomhs arrest.
Gen Bcnurcsard is the friend of Gen. Toombs,
ui:d il not the officer to rashy exercise his authnri
ty; at the same time he is too much Of soldier
20 permit any man to sap the foundation Of an-
thority by publicly expressing sentiments likely
to excite mutny and INSTRUMENTATION. II Gen,
Toombs has been arrested, venture the pre-
dicton that there was ample cause 10 justify it,"

ST. PATRICK, THE APOSTLE OF
THE IRISH.

Nations which have history have also
heroes, and: these heroic names are connect
ed with the nations heroic age. Ii that age
was marked BY a military struggle, which
gave birth TO the "Manchili" of the people,
and 10 the greatness of the nation, then the
hero is warrior. America had her revoIu-
tiou and has her hero IN Washington. Ire
lands life as a nation began when che sun q;
Christianity dawned upon her, and well may
Ireland and the Irish celebrate the day OF
her hero and apostle.
St. Patrick was born in Scotland, in the
villa;e of Bonaven-since called, in honor of
his memory, KilpItcick. The son OF i dea-
con OF the yiillge church, in early youth he
became 4 christian. Pirates who inhabited
ireland carried him captive, and sold him as
slave to a chief Of that country. Trouble
caused the christian lessons of CHILDHOOD -
sink deeper into his spirit, and thus prepared
for his glorious future labors in tine land o.
his present bondage. After spending six
years in the service of this chief, ne thought
he heard voice in his sleep that promised
him a safe return TO his native land and an
nounced that vessel was ready for him.
He travelled many days, and finally at the
coast, found a vessel on the point OF sailing,
to which the poor unknown youth was re-
ceived only after many iutercessions.
Several years after reaching his home
L. tailor, he nj
rates, BY whom he was held for sixty
DAYS. He returned to his parents, inaamed
with the desire OF devoting his life thus pre-
served to the conversion Of that people among
whom he had passed his youth and been born
again TO the life Of heaven. He had
heard in vision the united voices of the Irish
who dwelt near the sea, exclaiming, We
beseech thee, child OF God, come and again
walk among u.s." In spite Of the entreaties,
tears and offered brides of his friends, he
babe final farewell TO his native land, and
landing in Ireland, devoted his whole remain
ing life and energies to the christianizatiOn
Of its barbarous people. This he accom-
plished with constant hardship and in fire.
quent peril of life. His labors were inces-
SAINT, and through long life he showed HIM
self the true apostle and hero-careless Of
fame, ease, or life itself, if he could secure
the lasting benefit of the Irish. Well ac-
ouainted with the language and country, he
called together large audiences by the sound
Of kettle-drum, and in frequent journeys
around the whole island, read to the assem-
bled people from the Gospels and preached
10 them Oh what he read. Although the
Druids opposed all his influence and his
efforts, yet his amiable and commanding
character disar,ned hostility. Not one mar
tyr fell, and, after few years only, all Ire
land was converted to Christ, and her SOIL
covered with churches. He died in 465, leaV-
ing the Church of Ireland in the most four
ishing state. 1t is right that such men
should be called the fathers Of their country,
for their influence is the fountain which
flows streams of good for all the future.
Their names never die, and the light Of their
works never goes out.

HUNTING WHITE MEN WITH BLooDHoUSDs.
A Union cavalry officer on duty in West Tennes-
see writes: have been out with my regiment
scouting for three weeks in the region lying be-
tween the Tennessee and Mississippi rivers,
northeast of Memphis. For the first few days we
were after Il guerrilla company who were ell
gagged in hunting up, or hunting down, conscripts
with dogs. Brutal and horrible as il may Seem, it
Is nevertheless strictly true, and you may depend
upon il that at this very hour hundreds of the
people of West Tennessee. Mississippi and Ala
baIna are being hunted down with bloodhounds
could not realize it until by the most positive
evidence found II true. We were almost within
hearing OF tho haying Of the hounds, and sent
ont scouting party who came near catching some
of the devils If they had been caught thew
would have received a short shrift.
We cannot bring courage to express an
opinion as to the truthfulness Of the above.
II true. is it possible that Divine iuterposi-
ton will permit the elevation Of such a des-
picable crew as now work the Confederacys
We think not. At all events, let US hope
that such scenes do not occur.

A SHARP YoUTH-A company of surveyors
at work in the ncighborhood of the Waterloo
House, last Saturday, encountered little white
haired boy, about seven years old, who, on See
ing the flag in the hands OF the fag.man-which
was only painted in red and white-curtly said ;
"You re Secesh. Why don't you have blue on
your iagf" The fag.man was taken By surprise,
not expecting such joke from such a source
and tried TO explain to the little fellow that for
such business anything in the shape OF signal
was used for flag. But he was not satisfied
and also put in as IN objection TO the obnoxious
flag, that IL didn't have stars on nuther," and
he would tell his mamma to set the dogs on 'em
and drive 'em out N the field" Informant says
he intends to have whole Union flag painted for
use in that neighborhood.- Independent
