,'rwos 1he Other One.

TO The Editor of The Alexandria Gazette;
Your informant M is slightly mistaken
in his statement about the arrest of the
Rev. Mr.. Stewart. 1t was not General
(then Colonel Farnsworlh) of the Sth Hi
nois cavalry, who jerked the officiating
minister oflthe pulpit by the neck, but bis
brother, a captain III the same command,
who committed the outrage. The minister
surrounded by guard of cavalrymen, com
manded by the valiant captain in person,
was then led to the colone's headquarters,
without being first allowed to remove his
vestments, followed by his courageous
daughter, who belabored the captain with
her prayer hook, while the arrest was being
made. As resided opposite the headquar
tiers at the time the house now occupied by
Mr. Isaac Echbere) the entire episode is as
fresh in my mind as though it bad happened
but yesterday.
There is, however, an incident connected
with this affair not generally known, and
which is probably worth mentioning: The
very captain who had so rudely jerked the
minister of the pulpit on Sunday, appeared
on the following morning with bis head
drawn to one side, the effects Of a sore and
stiff neck a sight go ludicrous to behold,
that 7 shall ever remember il. Now, Wheth-
er the sore neck was caused by over exertion
on the day before, or visited upon ss just
punishment for his mssdeed, shall leave
for others to Judge. ID.
