As for the "Loyal Union Lea;

'know that General Stott is President of one

pen as the noonday sun in all their transac
tions, that they have neither signs; oaths,
nor any anoint machinery belonging to them,
and that the only pledge asked, which is a
tacit pledge of honor, is the following;
, "We 'pledge ourselves to an unconditional
loyalty to. the GoVernmeht of the United
Stites, to an unwavering support of its efforts
to suppress the rebellionoind to spare no en
deavor to maintain, unimpaired, the National
Unity, both in principle and territorial boun
dal. The primary object of this League
is, and shall be; to bind together all loyal
men, of all tradeS and' professions, and all
patties, in a common union to maintain the
power, integrity and glory of the Nation."

One of no small magnitude and significance.
Desekters from the rebel army at 'Savannah
report disturbances there, which must soon'
break out into a serious, revolt. The demand
for bread is too imperious to be overlooked;

Difie•Greferilor Curtin, in view of the exi
gency of the public service, has suggested
to the President a plan of garrisonitrg the
defences Of Washington with militia, that
the veterliti soldiers boil in that deparmont
might be spared for more important and
pressing duties in the field: To this end,
he offered to forward titenty thousand mi
litia, and (tilted that about
,fiVe thousand
volunteers Who have bad the necessary ex-
Darlene° be distributed among
* the militia,
to tender the latter force equivalent for all
practical purposes, to the same number of
volunteers'sent to the field. It is not 'known
whether this patriotic offer has been 'accept.
ed, but it meets with the favor b the Presi
dent.

successfully carried on horse stealing in this
region during last winter-,-has—been--caught

Washington city to a colored man and' the
katrttiuight stole them back, and sold them
again in a day or two to another man. The
horses were recognized by,the first party.—
This led to the detection of HOOKER. He
was arrested and is now in jail fit Wasliittg
