ge:A, We hear it said some democrats in
this county find so much Objectionable in
the Histories of the War, all speaking Of
the rebellion as crime, that they have

letter dated June IS, this correspondent"
processes to give an account of the arrest
Of Wm. Bryant, editor of the Loyal Geor-
gian, for swindling negroes, which asser-
