The Arrest of Isham Henderson.
HE is Expected this Morning
A History Of the Case.

On Saturday last, Judge Advocate Voril
determined to commences the trial of Ishsm
Henderson, and General johnson telegraph
ed 10 that gentlemen to come down, BY
Monday morning but that time came and
henderson WAS missing. During the day
General johnson received . telegram from
Henderson saying that he declined to re-
cognize the authority Of military court +;
and that he would not come TO Nashville,
bat would answer before civil courts, any
charge preferred sgainst him. Gen. John
son then telegraphed Gen. Davis to arrest
him and send him down forthwith.
In few hours Davis replied that be had
arrested Henderson,, but understood that
a writ Of AaJeas corpus would soon be sued
out in his favor, by Judge Bullard and be
desired 10 know what lie should do in such
q case.
No reply was stnt to this until General
Thomas returned from Chattanooga day
before yesterday. when, by his direction,
orders were sent to General Davis to for
ward Henderson immediately, and disre-
gard ali writs, by civil Judge.
A writ was then sued out, but General Da-
Wis paid no ate ation 10 it, and i. is expect
ed that Henderson viii be down under
guard this morning.
During the delays occssioned, several
kilograms were received here, urging the
military authorities 70 delay proceedings,
in order TO allow time for compromise;
but this could not for a moment be per-
mitted. LI| -- DrS

The Dexter Case.

1t has already been stated in the Union
that Mr. A. Il. c. Dexter has brought suil
against General Woods commanding the
Department of Alabama, for false imprison-
ment. We learn from the Memphis Bulle-
tin that there has been no "lalse' impris-
onment IN the case. It is true that since
the middle Of last November Mr.. Dexter,
Supervising spesial Agent OF the Treasury
Departments in Mobilo, has been 10 con-
fnemenl, but it was on charges Of the most
fsgrant character-all Of which have been
sustained. It has been proved on the trial,
that Dexter received IS sgent Of the gov
ernment nineteen thousand nine hundred and
eighty-nine bales Of government cotton, and
Of this ancunt the books Of his Office show
that the governments received the benefit Of
only scUc,l thousand one dandred bales. This
cotton, at the time it was misappropriated,
was worth about three millions Of dollars.
He was tried under special order from the
War Department in references 10 cotton
thieves, and final judgment has not been
rendered only because Dextsr's council
asked a delay to procure witnesses.
Il Is said that a number Of merchants Of
NOBLE, of high standing, are implicated
With him, or rather have enjoyed the tene-
ft Of Dexter's dexterous operation.

Mr. Isaac Gotta, ST., comes out in card
in yesterday mornings issue Of the Regis
lister, in which he charges the proprietoTs
of this paper with maliciously refusing 20
withdraw the statement published in our
issue Of Monday, that W. j. Colts had
been taken 10 Nashville under arrest,
as an accomplish in the late govern
ment frauds perpetrated in that De
nartment IL is true that Mr.. Isaac
Colts asked that the statement be with
drawn on his unsupported statement that
his son had only been taken IS a
witness, but It is not true that We
promised to do SO unless the progress Of the
case, which We are closely watching, should
develop the fact that W. j. Cots was not
implicated in the frauds now under process
Of inves igation. We copied the statement
from the Nashville Union, paper which
has no interest in misstating the case. We
are able 20 substantiato the truth Of the
statement that he was arrested, but have no
desire 10 enter into the merits Of the case.
WhcciiHg Intelligence, GOA.
We don't think that the Intelligencer will
need be hssiy in taking back its statement.
when Cots arrived here, we were informed
BY the military authorities that he had been
arrested as a prisoner; since that time, how
ever. he has been made use Of as witness
but his acknowledgement show he was any
thing but an innocent man.

ATTENPT TO LYNCH a NEGRO MURDERER
AT BOWLING GREEN.-Day before yester-
day, while George Shurald, the negro
who murdered Patrick Donovan at
Bowling Green on the night of the 18th
inst, was on trial in that city, mob of
citizens stGrmed the courtroom and
seized the prisoner for the purpose of
hanging him. This violent demonstra-
ton was soon known throughout the
city, and before the infuriated mob
could carry out their design, the ser
geant and six men of the detachment
at the military hospital charged into
the courtyard, dispensing the hangmen,
and rescued the negro. He was taken
to Jail, which, at last accounts, was
being held by the guard, under direc-
ton of the sheriff Surgeon A. c.
Latham, in charge of the hospital, yes
terday telegrsphed General Davis to
send a company of men by the first
train, as a precaution against further
disturbance. The dispatch was replied
to and confidence expressed by the
General that the military force on duty
at Bowling Green was sufficient to re-
store and maintain quiet We trust the
excitement has subsidized, and that the
trial will be allowed to proceed accord
ing to the due forms of laW.-LOuiSvilis
