Important Arrest of Spies. DRAFTS TO TIIE AMOUNT OF BXOO,OOO SEIZED. Yesterday evening, nt -: v«-n o'clock, Detectives *T«ggart arid Fninkltm and United States Marshal •Sharkey, returned from Harrisburg, haying in their possession three men from the South., upon whoso persons about ?3,()ui) was found, and drafts to the -amount of §li)0,fl00, most of which were dated Richmond, Va. These men arrived at Harrisburg by yesterday morning’s train from ChHtnbersburg. A despatch •bad preceded them from Hagerstown, stating that the men had smuggled themselves through our lines above Williamsport. Md., and that ono of them was a noted Secessionist of Charleston. Chief Radabaugh and a squad of special policemen re ceived the distinguished visitors, who were pointed •out by an officer of General Banks’ column, that gentleman having followed them from Hagers town. The prisoners were taken to a private room in the Exchange, at the State Capitol, where they underwent a strict examination by the Mayor. They gave their names us Thomas J. Carson, Wal ter Vi. Kelly, and William M. Pegram, and repre sented themselves as being citizens of Baltimore. Carson is a fino-looking, elderly gentleman, per haps fifty years or thereabouts. He formerly did. business us a broker in New York city, but has been living in Baltimore for several years. Kelly is a man apparently about thirty years, of medium size, and siiiuly built. He represented hiuisolt* «.*? 41 British subject, and presented a pnssnnrt signed by tho British consul at Baltimore, mid counter signed by tho Secretary of Slate. Pegram is about the same ago of Kelly, and of like proportions and -Stature. All of tho party were well dressed, and •apparently men of means. gCarson exhibited a 44 passfrom Col. ITeintzel man.. countersigned by Gen. Cooper, dated August < 9. Upon lii-? person were also found a number of passes ’’ from officers in the Confurimie army, giving him privilege to visit his properly in several of the Southern States. In the carpet bag owned by Pogram were found a number of sealed letters, among which, ono di rected to Judge Brewer, nt Annapolis, and others to Mrs. M. Humphreys and Geo. Brewer, at Balli xnore. The.»u were opened and discovered to be signed by J. Vi. Brewer, a sergeant in the Wash ington Artillery of New Orleans, serving in the Confederate nmiy. They were ’ principally de scriptive of the battle of Bull Bun, In which the writer participated. Nothing of a. suspicious nature was found in the •carpet-bag of Kelly, but he was summarily ordered to strip, lie removed his garments, ono by one. until he stood nude, with tho exception of his un dershirt. Nothing was found upon any of his gar ments, and he roiled up the arms of his ’undershirt. saying: 41 You see I have nothing at all. ! - At this time the chief lifted the extremity of his shirt, disclosing nn array of false pockets/ Kelly then reeled, and faintly asked for a glass of water, evidently much frightened. Drafts dated Rich mond, on New York, were then produced, amount ing to $lOO,OOO or more. The letters containing the <lraftswere sewed up in the pockets, and the whole bad been ironed out, to give tho garment a close fit. find prevent the notes from obtruding. A number •Of treasonable letters were also found. All the letters were taken possession of by the mayor, and, the circumstances being deemed suffi cient to detain the men in custody, they were put in the county prison for a further hearing. The men were evidently in tho North to got spo« ’CiQ and arms. They will, probably, be handed over to the military authorities as spies, when they will fare by the military laws prescribed in such cases. Tin: East Brandywine Railroad.— The •construction of the East Brandywine Railroad has been completed, and two trains pass over it daily, connecting at Downingtown with the Pennsylvania Central and Chester Valley Railroads. Another important avenue for transportation ha? thus been rendered which cannot fail to be highly advan tageous in developing the rich agricultural and mining resources in which the region abounds through which it passes. The road runs from Dowmngtown jo MTiynesburg. a distance of seven teen miles, ire location was commenced on tho first <<f June, 1559, by Oliver IV !lamer, chief en gineer and coiTtraetor. assisted by Vim. \Y. Yf right, fis rc-sidout engineer, and Leonard H. Eieholtz ns in specting engineer for the company. Contracts for the work were let on the 4lhof July. 1860. The work was continued without interruption, com pleted on the Ist of August, 3801. and opened for travel on the loth instant. The route diverges from the Dermsyl vania Railroad at a poiut cast of the bridge over the Brandywine at Powningtown, follows up tl-.o valley of this branch to the mouth of Indian run, about two miles east of IVavnesburg. It then pass's over a low Fumnuf to the level plains about the heads of the West Branch, from whence the road approaches the town. The point at which the East Brandywine road diverges from the Penn sylvania Central is at an elevation of 23-fi feet above tidewater, and its terminus at Wavnesburg i? 720 foot above tidewater, The road had been conriruct cd in a tturablo and substantial manner, and con tains no c*:: -us of a less radius than those on the main line oi the Pcwra Railroad. The total cost cf the road is about $215,000. The ears arc at pre sent being run under the supervision of Oliver W. Barnes, Esq. A lnrge increase of trade can be se cured to ihv Pennsylvania Central bv a proper ma nagement of the East Brandywine Railroad. The valley of the Brandywine is rich in iron ores ; one large deposit yields $0 per cent, of iron, and the stream furnishes a constant water-peuver. which is already, applied to iron works, paper, grist, and cotton mills. There are numerous site? along tlio Hue that could be occupied with advantage by our ■capitalist:'; arid located as it Uin tlio midsrof beau tiful and romantic scenery, we know of r.o region that offer? more tempting inducements ibr the crec* tion of country residences. Military Matters.—The mcr;rtx*i*s of Com pany X, Penasylvniiiu Volunteer?, ‘Capt. Kelley. are now re-enlisting for the war. 'This was the crack company of Col. Owen's Regl ©lont,. being officered by men of experience, who were always attentive to their duty. The Regi ment is to be ntiaehed to Baker's Brigade, ancl will be armed with the Enfield Rifle. A few recruits are "Wanted to go into camp immediately. At the United States Arsenal in this eUy, work <tipon clothing for the army is kept up with great •vigor, and from three to four thousand vfuuieu are constautiy at work upon articles of every desoription towards the outfit of a soldier, ex cept shoes. On these latter, nearly seven hundred men arc employed, and two hundred more upon various duties connected with the establishment, as : box making, knapsack painting, labor, and the like. The work i* under the vigilant supervision of Capt. y?, R. U g. A., AUd 001. Thorns. tk& Quartermaster. A minute supervision is exercised by Col. Tbomn3 and Capt. Gibson over nil the de tails connected with the operations, and prudence, energy and rigid economy are seen in every de partment. Another meeting of the Home Guards was held Yesterday at noon. The attendance was not so largo its that o*f Wednesday. A preamble and resolutions -were offered by Lieut. Col. Snowden., which em bodied those of continuing the offer made on Wed nesday of troops for three-months’ service, notwith standing the disinclination of Secretary Cameron to accept their services. The resolutions gave rise to much discussion. or Captain Apcuamdault. The follow ing ietter explains itself. To the ojjic?ys ancl members of the. Garde. La fayette : Companions-in-arms, a brief period of active service in the Infantry arm of the anny has convinced n:e that I am more at home in company with my old love. Cavalry; and, being anxious to serve {he country that has afforded me protee . lion for many your?. I hereby tender to you my re signation ns captain of the Garde Lafayette, in order to raise a cavalry company for the purpose of assisting in defending the glorious stars and stripes. Jn doing this, permit me to express my gratitude to the officers and members of the corps for their uni form kindzii?.-.? to me as a man, and their implicit obedience to :ny commands as an officer- Hoping you may prosper n? an organization ever ready to respond when your adopted country cnlK and my best wishes fur the individual prosperity of the members, I remain, your friend, As many of our readers know, Captain Archam bault was for more than twenty-five years captain of the Union Troop of Bucks county, which was In its moridian Of glory while under Ills command. When the Trench company, called the 11 Garde Lafayette,” was organized, ho was chosen without any solicitation on his part as its captain, and when the call was made for volunteers, this company, known as the color guard of the Eighteenth Regi ment; was one of the first to respond iu the hour of Ganger. As will be seen, the Captain is now enga ged in raising a company of light cavalry ; his headquarters are in Sixth street, below Chestnut, and all who desire to serve under a fearless and ex perienced officer will do well to enlist with him. Flag Presentation to Colonel Birnet’s Jlsoimekt. —An interesting ceremony look place on Wodaeeday, just prior to the departure of Col, b. B. Birney s regiment for Washington. The personal friends of the gallant Colonel determined that he should not a second time depart for the scat of war without a sot of regimental colors. J. E. McDonough, Esq., on the part of the committee, presented to this, the Twenty-third Regiment P. V. oniliti&, a splendid regimental flag, bearing the aims and motto of the State. His thoroughly-pa triotic and manly speech was greeted with im mense applause by the men. He told them the flag they bore had never known disgrace, and he •felt assured that in their hands it would be borne onward to victory or death. In the absence of Colonel Birney. Colonel Dare received the colors, and responded* in an admirable speech. Colonel Birney merits the gratitude of his fellow-citizens for the sacrifices he has made in behali of lib? country and the preservation of the Union. First to answer the call of his State in the dark hour that threatened it on the outbreak of the rebellion, he has a second time responded to the appeal of the Federal Government when the capital is threatened and the cause of freedom is endangered. Death or a Gallant Vermont Volun- TEer.— A few days since a member of Company A, Second Vermont Regiment, returning home, wa3 noticed at the Cooper Shop Volunteer Refreshment Saloon as too weak to proceed farther. His consti tution had given way under the discipline requisite to a camp life. He was taken to tho homo of one of the members of the Cooper-Shop Refreshment Committee, and there watched over and eared for by kind friends, and attended to by Dr. Andrew jfcfebinger- Yesterday morning he breathed his last, far from his native Green Mountain Homo. 1 ’ It Will be a solace, though a sad one, for his parents 40 know that kind hands closed his eyes, end that many tokens of respect were paid to him. His body was taken in charge by Mr. C. V. Fort, vice presi dent, who will accompany it to Vermont, there to deliver it to his friends. The coffin was wrapped in the American flag, and borne by members of the Weccacoe Engine Company to Walnut-street wharf. SfiOCKTNft Accident.—Yesterday morning, a man named Michael Davis was accident illy shot, at his residence in Front street, between York aim Dauphin, and expired almost immediately. It seems he was about going gunning and bad a double-barrel gun, one barrel of which was loaded. Vhile blowing in the empty barrel, his dog jumped sxp, and striking the lock of the gun caused an ex plosion, the load taking effect in his head, causing instant death. Full? Committed,—Yesterday ftlVimoonj Dill OliYer, arrested for picking pockets at Fair mount, was fully committed by Alderman Bcitler to answer the charge* Max Friedman’s splendid cavalry, twelve hundred In number, left here yesterdny. They jrUl bq furnished with horses in Washington. James Ar.cirAMn.iur.T. The Citizens’ Nominating Committee.— Yesterday morning, at 11 o’clock, the Citizen’s No minating Committee met at the Merchant’s Ex change, pursuant to the following call: “Philadelphia, August 15. 1863. tl Sir : The committee appointed at the town mooting of citizens held on tho Ist instant, have selected you as ft member of the Convention to no minate candidates for the officers to bo voted for at the election to be held in October next. <• You are requested to meet us at Room No. 30, Merchants’ Exchange, on Thursday next, tho 22d instant, nt II o’clock A. M., for the purpose of ar ranging for the organization of tho Convention. “ Very respectfully. Yours, William Welsh. John C. Davis, Samuel 11. Perkins, Henry J. Williams, Benjamin Gerhard, Johnß. Kenney, Frederick Fraley,” On tho meeting being called to order, Mr Win. Welsh, chairman, made the subjoined address: Gknti.knkn : The coinmitteo raised at tho public meeting of citizens, that was held in this room on Jhe Ist inst., request you to select candidate? for all of the offices that are to bo filled at the eloction in October, and, after conference with the voters in your respective localities, to bring tho ticket fairly before tho people fur their support. As it will bo known tlmt you did not seek tins office, and that no member of your bodv, or of our committee, will al low their limnes to" be placed in nomination, you will have peculiar facilities in drawing from their retirement men who will, at your solicitation, rondor valuable service (<> the city, cren at a large personal sacrifice. It can be readily seen that this unusual mode of nominating candidates for popular suffrage will not impair tho inalienable right of each freeman to se lect his own candidate, for it will offer him another ticket to choose from, composed mainly of thonnme3 of men wlio do not seek office, and who would not desire a nomination by either of the political par ties at this time, whenpartizaa warfare may jeopard our national existence. As five of our judges nro to be elected in Octo ber, for a term of ten years, we cannot orcr-esti mnto the importance of a nomination that is free from party pledges or trammels. If tho moral and political taint thut is charged upon many of our le gislators should be permitted to invade our jmii einry s ire would Boon lose all respect for their deci sions. and then what security would we have for life or property ? Now that you have been convened, tho work of our committee is finished, we will therefore retire, after expressing the hope that you will soon an nounce a tielcot that will be entitled to the univer sal support of our fellow-citizens. The committee was (hen called to order. On motion, Mr. Johu Thompson was appointed temporary chairman, and John Lambert temporary secretary. A committee of seven was then appointed to no minate permanent otlieers of the Convention. They reported ns follows : President— A. J. Derbyshire. Vice Presidents—John Agncw, John Thompson Secretaries—John Lambert, Win McGlenser. All of whom were unanimously elected. On motion, the same committee was requested to report to this Convention, nt its next, meeting, all the offices to be tilled nt the October election, to gether with the names of tho present incumbents, und also to propose an order of business. It was also resolved that no ono but members of this Convention be hereafter admitted to its sit tings, and that nn abstract of Its be furnished to the public papers by tho swretnries. After providing fur a treasurer and committee on finance, the Convention adjourned until Tuesday next. The WiTiE-Kon; Performance at Fair- MOI'XT. —The thousands of curious citizens who visited Fnifmounton Wednesday afternoon, for the purpose of wl I messing till! font of walking a rope stretched aeross tlie Schuylkill, at an elevation of one hundred feet from the surface of the water, were doomed to disappointment. Every prepara tion appeared to have been made for the per formance, hut it was finally discovered that the riggers had not fulfilled their part of the contract, and the crowd returned home without having their curiosity gratified. Yesterday afternoon a large number of people again visited the spot, and waited Eatiently until nearly six o'clock, when Mr. John •enier, the performer, made his appearance, and was enthusiastically cheered. lie was dressed in a flesh-colored suit, fitting him closely, and carried a balancing pole, abont twenty feet in length. lie started off slowlv, and after proceeding a few slops, sat down while Ihe sido ropes were being properly adjusted. After some little delay ho again took' his position, and walked half way aeross, when ho performed the antics for which our rope-dancers are celebrated, lie then passed on to the western side of the river, and. after reaching a point about one hundred feet from the derrick, retreated backwards to the centre. He here again went through sundry.evolutions, and then continued hi? journey to the eastern side. The performance was highly successful, and seemed to afford great pleasure to tho numerous spectators. No Sympathy with Treason*.— Yesterday we published an account of the arrest, in Cincin nati, of Tho?. IS. Lincoln, a prominent citizen of Texas, on the charge of having in his possession do eumenls that would warrant his arrest on the charge of treason. **•_ Ml'- Lincoln bft Philadelphianby Liri-h, Ahilridj£ son of the laic Richard Penn Smith, author of the celebrated controversial, pamphlet entitled u Nuts for future historian? lo crack. This much by way of introduction. Growing out of the arrest of Mr. Lincoln, certain minors prejudicial to the loyalty of Lieutenants Richard Derm and Horace Smith of the au thor') obtained currency in this city yesterday. Vic are pleased to be able to correct any false and unjust impressions which may have thereby been created. Neither of these gentlemen has. at any time, sympathized with the cause of the traitors. tYe arc assured that they have never been re.-idcuts of the South, iinil the statement that one of them was ft property-owner in the rebel States, is with out the least particle of truth. Furthermore, Lieut. Richard Peon Smith. Jr., is now sharing the for tunes of Col. Bakers regiment, while his brother, Mr. Horace W. Smith, holds a first lieutenancy in Col. Chantry’s regiment, now being organized in this city. Postponed It was expected that the sloop of-war Tif 'Cavortr would belaunchcd yesterday, but that portion of the machinery necessary to be on board before the vessel is removed from the stocks not being finished, the launch had to be postponed. If the machinery is completed l>y to-morrow, she will be launched on that evening about seven o’clock. Tho 'Tttxcarora is IUS feet S inches be tween porpoDdiculurß, 33 foot bourn, and lo feet hold- *Shc is built in a most substantial manner, and will carry a large battery-—four .52-pound guns and two 11-ineh guns, for solid shot and shell. The Tvscarora has been built in a shorter time than any similar description of vessel was ever con structed at this navy yard, it being but about six weeks since her keel was laid. It gives us great pleasure to state that our worthy fellow-townsman, Colonel-Wm. A. Leech, has been authorized to reorganize the Seventeenth Regiment Pennsylvania Volunteers, late Colonel Frank Patterson’s. Colonel Leech was its major during its term of service. Ho and his brother-in law, the gallant and gifted Greble, were feltow students together at West Point. lie is a cool, courageous, and highly-educated military officer; he knows how to attend to the wants of his men, and will do it. We expect to hear a good account of the Seventeenth, and we deem the soldiers for tunate who may become enrolled in its ranks. All success to the gallant Colonel and his brave com panions-in-arms : Lost Child,—Wm. Henry Donar, of Wash ington, D. C. ; followed a New Jersey regiment on their return, some days ago, and was yesterday stopped by the conductor of the Camden and Am boy Railroad, who gave him in charge of the police. He was sent to the Northern Home for Friendless Children, and the secretary of that institution has written to Washington about him. The lad says that he is ten yc-ars old, the son of William Ponav, tailor, who belongs to another regiment. lie is very scantily dres.-cd.'but an enterprising little fellow. Any information relative to him may be addressed to M. J. Mitekeson. Esq. Recapture gv a Pmau Vessel.—The schooner George D. Baker. belonging to Phila delphia, was recaptured by the United States gun boat Union. Commander GoUlsborough, off Cape IlatUras. on Tuesday last, and arrived at our navy yard yesterday afternoon. This vessel was first taken a.prize by the United States gunboat Snath Carolina * and pent North with an American prize crew. She was afterwards recaptured by tho privateer York, and was again recap!uved by the Union, and sent to this port. When she first sailed she was bound to Galveston, from New Orleans, loaded with coffee.sugar, and rope. The last prize erew was placed on board the and will be brought to this port In a few days. Live? Saved-ry a Cat.—Several nights since the family of Mr. Sehriver, residing at No. 410 Dean street, were aroused from their sleep by the piteous mewing of a cat. They found the house filled with smoke, and had considerable difficulty in getting down stairs. They discovered a small shed at the rear of the house in flames, which were speedily extinguished by the members of the Wash ington Engine Company. The fire was occasioned by some ashes which had been stuffed into rat holes, and which had retained latent fire. The cat was in the shed at the time, and not being able to C3Capo. probably saved the lives of the family. f An Available Gunboat.— We agree with the opinion of the Troy Whig, that the steam er Commerce, which has been running be t ween that city and Philadelphia, could very easily be made available by the Government as a gunboat, as she is fast, staunch, and has few vulnerable points. She was, for a short time, in the service of the Govern ment at the commencement of our present troubles, and wc think her services might be again called into requisition with advantage. Constitutional Union Party,— On Wed nesday next, the delegates of tho Constitutional Union party will assemble at the County Court House for the purpose of making nominations for the coining county election.. The Democratic Convention meets on Tuesday next at Spring Garden Hall. Handed Over to the Military.— ln com pliance with an order from the Secretary of War, United States Marshal Millward has handed David Renno. arrested as a Secessionist, over to the mili tary authorities, to be dealt with according to military law. He was taken from this city yester day. Hotel Robbery.— A few evenings since, Thomas Bmneson, a produce dealer, of this city, took a room at u hotel, Ninth and Market streets. During the night his room was entered by a stran ger, who robbed him of SI 25. On the same evening two other boarders in the same house were robbed of small amounts.

Judge Coffin appoarodfor the dofonco, and United Stales District Attorney Ball for tho prosecution. Messrs. Pollock and .Small, who arrested the defendant, testified simply to the facts which wc have already published—that they had watched defendant for a tew days, ami arrested him at the Madison House, and found in his (runic a number uf "etli.rs ami documents from prominent Secessionists. These loiters were introduced in tho court and rend, but were not of a character to im plicate the accused in (he commission of un act of .treason. Mr. James Weathcrby testified that defendant called at his establishment several times, inquiring the contract price of cartridge boxes, bolts, knap sacks, etc. Mr. Vi. told defendant that ho furnish ed a lot of cartridge boxes for the Indiana trooj>3 nl $3.25. but lie offered to make a lot for him nt SU. Defendant snul he did not want u United States plate on the articles, and thought that without (his they could bo furnished for $2.90. Mr. Vi ex pressed a willingness to manufacture them nt this ju ice without the device named. They could not agree about the knapsacks. This evidence was in troduced by the prosecution to show that the cart ridge boxes were intended for tho Confodorido nrmy. Hiram Bose, deputy collector, testified that the first time he saw Mr. Lincoln was at about I o'clock P. M. on Saturday, in the Madison House. He, with Mr. Pollock, (old defendant lie was suspected of being a Southern spy. Defendant denied that he was any such thing as a spy, but said he was a citizen of Texas—a Southern man, and in favor of i; Southern rights.’’ His trunks were then search ed, and (lie paper? referred to found in (horn.

The evidence against Mr. Lincoln was meagre nil through, although no person who heard it could fail to bo convinced that his object in coming to Cincinnati was to purchase provisions and munitions of war for tho Southern army. The case was sub mitted at about five o’clock. Commissioner Hnlli day took It under advisement, and will render hid decision this morning. Allairs at Cairo and Vicinity, The correspondent of the. Missouri Democrat, August 20. writing from Cairo under date of August 39. says: For the hist tuw days Cairo and Bird’* Point have been marked by extreme quiet, no events of particular interest transpiring. There have been, no demonstrations on the part of the robots, and it is now pretty well ascertained that the main body of them have passed by on their march on Siegel and Bland. Still the country is full of scouting or guerilla parties, and the most vigilant watch is re quisite In order to keep them in cheek from ma rauding and slaughtering the Union men. General Prc-ntioe has not returned. It is reported bore that he is ordered on active service, und will take com mand of the four regiments sent from here to Her culaneum. In Cairo a man may arrive from ths South and never be asked a question as to his business, and de part the same day with valuable information for the enemy. On the armed neutrality State of Ken tucky ft man cannot travel four miles from Cairo without being stopped by Sceesstoniflsj and if he is suspected of being a Northerner is hurried off to the nearest rebel camp in Tennessee and impri soned.

The British and French Ambassadors e eased All diploma tie intercourse with the Mexican Government in eonsequenco of this last having re solved to suspend payments of its debt for the term of two years, including the foreign debt.

Thomas Francis Meagher. [From ihe New York Tribune.] Major General Fremont lms telegraphed to Capt. Tho?' Francis Meagher, offering him the position of aid-de-camp on his staff, with the rank of colonel. This, we understand, has been done in recognition of the hearty services of the Sixty-ninth, and Capt. Meagher must feel proud of tho high compliment paid him by so eminent and accomplished a soldier as Major General John 0. Fremont. A meeting of the officers of the Sixty-ninth is called for Wednes day evening at tho city arsenal, at which tho future action of the regiment will bo considered, and Capt. Menglicr defers his reply to Gen. Fremont until that notion shaft have boon determined on. He is .unwilling to leave the Sixty-nintli, however strong tho inducement, ns long as ho can bo of use to it, Imt may feel himself at liberty to aoccpt such a dis tinguished position as that which Gen. Fremont so handsomely tenders him, should the rogiment re main at home. This, at all events, we understand to be Capt. Meagher’s disposition in relation to the matter. naßwnwnw nu.uiv to fiout.

They arc perfect sailors, fearless fighters, active? enterprising, and brimfull of patriotism. Their vessels are precisely what is wanted for the service, and when tho strength is not enough they can make up a fleet sufficient for any enterprise. Gloucester alone can blockade North Carolina effectively, if the oppor tunity is given. —Boston Advertiser Confederate Prisoners in Baltimore.— The 5 P. M. train, over the Northern Central Rail way, yesterday brought to the city twenty-three Confederate prisoners, who were captured daring the late battle at Philippi, iu Northwestern Vir ginia. Three of tho prisoners had lost an arm each* and another u leg. Among the prisoners there were a colonel and two captains. Upon their arrival a large crowd of curiosity-seekers quickly assembled, and the prisoners became the theme of considerable talk. They were taken to the Central Station-liouso. and afterwards removed to the Gilmor House, whore they pa-sod the night. At five o’clock this afternoon they will embark on board of the steamer Louisiana, for Old Point, when a flag of truce will convey them to Norfolk. The prisoners are on their parole of honor, to a man, ami deeply regret the rash step they have taken in raising their hands against the Federal Government. In conver.-ntion with them, they stated that they belonged to Georgia, and they were induced to engage in the.rebellion by the false representations of the tinseled gentry of the South, who used every argument to gull the unsuspecting. The prisoners assert that, if an opportunity presented itself, the Union voice, now smothered in the .South by an armed despotism, would astonish the friends of the Federal Governiiiont.— Baltimore Clipper.
