The Arrest Of the Mail Agent on the Gen.
- ..s.a. Buell..

: ~" ~ j.
From the Louisville Courier,l
u Our telegraphic correspondent at Gin
cinnati made cock and bullstory out OF
the arrest of DR.. Ferris, mail agent on
tho steamer General Buell. The tale, as
told by telegraph, appeared in our col
umns on Saturday and in such form
as to create the impression that the quiet
counties along the Ohio were in posses
sion of guerrilla bands who defy the
laws, board steamboats,, and drag away
obnoxious persons to mysterious iates'
Such stories are understood at a glance
by all persons conversant with Kentucky
affairs, but to prevent false impressions
abroad we are obliged to follow when
the lateness of their arrival will not per
NIT us to accompany them with corree-
lions. t8t5H4H.t,
DR.. Ferris was provost marshal OF
Gallatin county during Burbridge's reign
in this State, and as such was concerned
in the killing Of two persons who were
accused of being guerrilas. For this
killing he has been regularly indicted for
murder by the grand jury Of Gallatin.
When the sheriH's officers arrested DR..
eTrlS AT OHcuti anu NC nuo iVoSuSN ~
the crew of the steamer General Buell.,
of course these officers summoned a
large posse, as it was their duty to do,
and, overtaking the Buell. at Warsaw,
succeeded in effecting the arrest As
they had to detain the boat about two
hours, and at last found the object of
their search secreted in the pilot-house,
the probability is that there would have
been bloodshed had the posse comitatus
been similar one The arrest was ef-
fected without damage or loss to any
one. DR.. Ferris and the charges against
him were turned over by the Circuit
Court at Gallatin to the Uniled States
District Court in this city, and he was
placed on board the Buell. as she returned,
twenty-four hours after the arrest to be
committed to the custody of the United
States Marshal Heis now in custody
in Louisville and will have speedy trial
before United States judge with the
benefit of all the indemnifying laws
passed by Congress to protect persons in
his situation. f8 4
