ARREST OF Hon. EMERSON ETHERIDGE.-
The military arrest of Hon. Emerson Etheridge
candidate for Congress in Tennessee on &C,
count of his political sentiments, is another o.
the lawless assumptions of despotic power to
which the people have become accustomed in
the last four years. They used z be justified
upon the plea that it was war time, and that
civil rights we're therefore suspended; but
since peacc has come, and all resistance in the
South entirely ceased, we find them going on
Just the same. Etheridge has been from the
start one of the strongest Union men in Ten
nessee, and was driven into exile on that &C
count in 1S61.-Cincinnati Inquirer.
The editor of the Enquirer evidently knows
nothing about the arrest of Mr.. Ethcridge.
That distinguished gentleman, whether one
of the strongest Union men in Tennessee
heretofore or not, has been an avowed enemy
of the Government for nearly two years, and
we are told that his late..speeches in Tennessee
have been as rebelious as any ever delivered
by the notorious Bill Yancey or any other
secessionist in getting up. the recent rebellion
1t must be now understood that such speeches
cannot be made any longer under the stars
and stripes. 1t should be also remembered
that James Buchanan is7no longer President
of the United States Treason is as damna.

APPOINTMENT OF COLLECTOR, &c.-A great
many rumors have been in circulation recent
ly in regard to the changes about to be made
in the Custom House, Post Office, &C., in
Baltimore. The Washington Chronicle of the

Relics Of the Rebellion.

A correspondent from Fortress Monroe
writes:
Strong efforts arc now being made to raise
the wreck Of the Inflated frigate Congress
sunk by the Merrimac March s, 1861. The
"divcr" firm of Undcrlown & Go. have been
at work for some time. They have raised up
out of the wreck thrtytwo guns and large
quantity of tackle and furniture. They now
expect to raise what is left of the hull. To
this end they have built watcr-tight cnclo-
sure around the wreck and have steam pump
at work forcing the water out of the water
tight compartment. They expect the wreck
to float as the water recedes from in and
about her. They are sanguine of bringing to
the surface all TINT there remains of the gal
liant old ship. The diver, enclosed in sub
marine arnor, who goes down into the depths
occasionally to see how the work goes on, as
sures us that the hull will soon float. and that
it will bring to the surface fabulous number
of bushels of oysters, which have settled and
multiplied in the hull Of the good old ship
during her four years submission.
This sanie sub-aqueous association tried
their experienced skill on the submerged
wreck of the Cumberland, but could accom-
plsh nothing towards raising her. The Cum
berland was in the channel when she was
sunk, and the strong current passing over and
around her soon filled her with sand YES
sells pass over her watery grave.
The pirate craft Florida lies not far from
the remains of the two historic United States
ships. The Floridas position is marked by
her mainmast. the top of which is twelve feet
above the surface of the water. When she
sank, the top of her three masts and upper
yards remained above water. She has settled
lower in the bed of the river since then, and
the "relic hunters" have carried away many
feet Of yards and masts

in his brief address, said
'.When the French, not now so friendly to
our prosperity, sprang to arms in the defence

the feeble sister republic"
