"We have, under the influence of the scenes we have witnessed in the last two weeks, in the political amphitheater at Washington, become heartily sick of Unionism. There is no living in peace or satisfaction the same Confederacy with the Black Republican radicals, who, under such leaders as Chandler, Trumbull, Preston King, Lovejoy, Stevens, Grow, &c, would quickly convert a Paradise into a howling waste, and who would, if they were one hour in Satan's kingdom below, turn it upside down. Such men are not fit to live under a free, civilized, decent Government, for they are utterly incapable of appreciating or obeying it. They are fit subjects only for such sovereigns as the King of Dahomey and the President of Hayti, Swine have just as good a conception of the real nature and value of

Subsequently, we learnt that Carrell had sent a note the evening before from the "Bull Run" Saloon to Bob, at the barber shop, and, therefore, determined to arrest him (Carrell). From home we obtained a clue to the other parties, and found them at the house of Mrs. Mary Ryan, on Main street, between Nineteenth and Twentieth; but before going there, it was necessary to have a search warrant and the assistance of a civil policeman; so we sought Mr. Granger and obtained a warrant from Justice L. T. Chandler. On arriving at Mrs. Ryans's, we found Reese, Kiser and Albert, and took them in custody. After awhile, they all confessed their guilt, and we succeeded, by their instructions, in finding a large proportion of the stolen watches and jewelry in Mrs. Ryans's house. (some under beds, some hidden away in corners,) and buried in her cellar. The trunk of clothing was afterwards found at the house of a man named Thomas Thompson, who voluntarily went to the watch-house and informed Mr. G
