While he was riding in a procession at Batavia, in Ohio, some of his abject admirers took the more noble horses from his carriage, and drew the vehicle through the village themselves.-Letter of an eye-witness, a friend of the author. He was arrested at his own house in Dayton, Ohio, May 4 1863. on a charge of having been guilty of treasonable conduct. He was tried by a court-martial convened at Cincinnati, April 22. over which Brigadier-General Clement L. Vallandigham. R. B. Potter presided; and was convicted, and sentenced May 16. to close confinement in a fortress for the remainder of the war. This sentence was modified by the President, who directed him to be sent within the military lines of the Confederates, and, in the event of his returning without leave, to suffer the penalty prescribed by the court. Judge Leavitt, of the United States District Court of Ohio, refused an application for a writ of Habeas Corpus in his case, and the convict was passed by Gene

He and many others are under arrest. A thorough search has been made for arms, and not a few of the inevitable double-barreled guns found. Our troops, though surprised, are said to have behaved admirably. The North-Carolina men, of whose usefulness there have been doubts in some minds, conducted themselves with great propriety, while one of their officers, Lieut. C. E. Lyon, formerly a sergeant in the Massachusetts Twenty-fourth, is highly complimented in the official despatches of Col. Potter, the commandant of the post. One little incident of the fight is worthy of mention. On approaching our hospital the rebels showed fight, but, on being told what the building was, said they would respect it. The nurses, however, were to consider themselves as prisoners, and a guard was placed over them. But when the tide of battle turned, and the rebels were driven back, the nurses rose upon, and captured, and retained their guard! Immediately on the receipt of the intelligence her
