"Saturday night lift inst,between 9&nd 10 o'clock, arty of these home rebels made a descent upon I premises of Mr. Henry Hull,iD Brush Creek tp., wfil knbwn Union man, and under the cover of rsness, carried straw sufficient to surround all the Pre of the barn, after which they set fire thereto, i a matter of course, the barn, ami all its contents, i-uding seven head of cattle, two horses and thirty " p was totally destroyed.

JOHN NELSON.—WO take great pleasure in being able to chronicle the unconditional release of our friend and fellow citizen, Lieut. John Nelson, who returns to his distressed family after an absence of six months, during which time he has been sub jected to confinement in Old Capitol Prison, Wash ington, D. C. We are at a loss to understand what the charges, were, that, for so long a time, deprived him of his liberty, but feel asstred that tbe punishment inflict ed upon him, has been more than commensurate with all the harm he has directly, or indirectly, committed. Lieut. Nelson has. for a long time, lived among us, quietly pursuing his avocation of miller, to obtain a support for his large family. In the earlier part of the present unhappy war, he en listed under the flag of his country, and how well and faithfully he served, a broken shoulder and mis sing leg bear silent, but painful, testimony. He no w returns to us again to enter upon bis former busi ness. We bespeak in his behalf a cordial support from the community in which he has gone to reside. His reputation as an excellent miller, is well estab lished. He has in his a silver medal, awarded him by the Pennsylvania State Agricultural Society, in 1860 ; when some fourteen of the best mills in ihe State were in competition with him ; also, the premium of the Blair county exhibition in 1855; ana the one granted at the exhibition of Bed ford county, in 1860. We print these commendatory words, because Lieut. Nelson has been unfortunate and has claims upon our sympathy that canuot be resisted, and we hope others will regard his case iu a similar sight. Bedford Gazette. An article, word for word like the above, was of fered to us last week for publication. We declined to publish it, because the facts in the case were not I given. The reader of the above is expected to be lieve that the charges upon which Lieut. Nelson was arrested were not known to him —probably concealed by the Government, in the oppressive exercise of its lawless tyranny. This we thought was asking too much, since it was so notorious to every body in this community, that Lieut. Nelson was arrested and kept in confinement on a charge of passing counterfeit money in the army. We hope these charges have been proved groundless, as would seem from the circumstance of his discharge.—We are sure we wish him all success in his present calling ; but must remind him in the most friendly feeling, that though, we may sympathize with him in his misfortunes, we can not undertake to shield him from the consequences of alleged misconduct by charging, without proof, injustice upon others to wards him. John S. Stuckey of the 138 th has re ceived an honorable discharge from the army, and returned home in this county. The Captain has seen gome pretty rough service, and comes off with the loss of a leg.
