Arrest of an Editor.

On Friday, the 10Th instant as we were
sitting quietly in our office, attending to
our business. our office was surrounded
by squad of soldiers under. command of
Lieut.. }. E Chapman, of the l39 h ILL.,
nos. The Lieutenant with his men rush.
ed into our Office, and told us that he was
ordered to arrest us, and take us to Gen.
Paine, then at Ca seyville, Kentucky.
We. demonstrated with the Lieutenant,
telling h m that he certainly had no au-
thority to rest US aid carry us out of
the State that my wife was lying dam
gerously ill; and that, under the circum-
stances, we would beg him to take our
parole OF honor to report at Paducah at
any designated time; but all to no pur-
pose. Myself and printers we're hurried
aboard some transports, (soine seven in
number,) then lying at the wharf loaded
with soldiers, whose ostensible purpose
was to reflect the aires, of myself, printer,
and f. h. Armstrong.
After we were placed aboard the trans.
ports we were all placed under srict guard
and were soon on our. way To .Paducah.-
Arrived there on Sunday morning, we
were taken ashore and paraded through
the principal streets, evidently to the de-
light OF those that had Us arrested, and to
the negro soldiers particularly, who SEEM
ed to have special orders to taunt us with
opprobrlous epithets. s"
We were finally brought before one
Major Bartlirg, Provost Marshal of Padu-
cab, who, Without ANY ceremony wlatev-
er, ordered us to the military PRISON.
We were then marched through the streets
to the prison and, arriving there, were
thrust into the prison amidst the, yels
and taunts of the negro soldiers.) contain
ing some fifty or sixty persons, some citi-
,zens, some Rebel soldiers, some deserters
from the Federal army, some negro sol
diers, and some for stealing, Sc. Here
we were kept in filth and privation until
ten O'Clock Tuesday morning, when we
were called forand taken into tie presence
of General Payne, who hailed us with,
"Pm going to send you id sons of
bitches home.'' '.'
Here ended the whole affair, adding but
another to the great list of public wrongs
done to private citizens by those who had
solemnly sworn to protect and defend
them. Gen. Payne told us we were ciiarg-
ed with being a member of the Sons al
Liberty-which was not suhstantiated,
and our release followed, as a matter of
course. r.uss ~. ,.,..~

TO OUR SUBSCRIBERS.

The great increase in the price of all printing
m ,terIal, as well as the labor about the pub
fishing of newspaper, compels us TO adopt
the course WHICH all our contemporaries have Of
lite indicated, rs the only safe one for the con.
dhctors of a newspaper. We, like the rest of
the community, are burthened with an unusual
expense, owing to circumstances. over which we
have no control. In view Of this state Of things,
we are reluctantly compelled to say to our sub
scribers, that from and after this date we shall
charge One Dollar and ,E!fty cents year for the
.Eyis 8 IteliSencfr in advance:
and T,eo Dollars if not paid until the end of the
year. :,
Those persons now indcbtcdto MS for subscrip-
ton, who settle their bills before the first of De-
tober, will only be charged ST, but after that
date 81. so will in all cases I've demanded. One
dollar and fifty cents has always been the price
Of the.paper when not paid in advance, but we
have never demanded it, and would not now, If
circumstances did not peremptorily require such
II course. The enlargement of our paper has i'm
posed upon US an additional expense and GER
tliny made the paper that much more valuable
TO our readers.
We feel that ia adopting this coutsc We arc
only taking such steps as evc:y Judicious man,
in the present condition Of affairs, finds himself
compelled to adopt; and without saying more
we return our thanks to the public for the very
liberal support OF the last two years, and prom
