The ARREST OF Mr.. RoGERs-The Tele-
graph furnishes the following particulars con-
corning the arrest of Mr.. Rogers:
U. S. Marshal Marble came out on Satur-
day, quietly arrested Col. Rogers, took him in
to Periland on the evening train and lodged
him in Jail. And just at this point We propose
to cont adict the monstrously ridiculous story
told, that handouts We're put upon Mr.. Rog
ers, and even msnacles upon his feet. The OBJ
iect OF this tale could only be to cast oblouuy
upon the Marshal, though had he handcufftd
his prisoner he would have done him no leg al
wrong. The truth is, Mr.. Marble was quietly
introduced into the house, told his errand to
Mr.. Rogers, aud the latter was allowed all ne
ces>ary time to make his preparations for leay-
Ing. Ihat farewell, inexpressiby sad, we NAV
noG speak OF. Col, Rogers drove his own horse
and wagon TO the depot with Cant. w. s
Skol6ed by his side; he entered the car and
took seat Marshal Marble followed him at a
distauce, from his house, and seated himself in
a separate seat in the car, and thus was the
whole arrest quietly conducted. AT the speca
suggestion of acquaintaDces, on account OF Mr.
Rogers feeble health, Sheriff Perry allowed
HIM all possible latitude in jail.
