and Douglas and Breckenridge, Davis and Toombs and Benjamin, in the Senate; Sherman and Stevens, Logan and Vallandigham, Pryor and Keitt, Bocock and Barksdale, and Smith, of Virginia, in the House. It became intensely interesting to me to observe the part some of these men played later in the great drama: Seward as the leading figl the hotspurs of the extreme Southern wing of the Democratic party in the House in 1860,--we all know where he was from 1861 to 1865; and glorious old Extra Billy Smith, soldier and governor by turns; Barksdale, who fell at Gettysburg, was my general, commanding the infantry brigade I knew and loved best of all in Lee's army and wallot could be announced, Henry Winter Davis, of Maryland, and E.

It appears that Dr. Ritter is and old and well-known resident of Eastern North Carolina, and had been to Salisbury for a servant he had hired there, and also to transact other business. Upon his return to Weldon, with his servant, he was arrested, as stated. Upon his examination, he showed, by the testimony of Colonel James W. Hinton, Sixty-eighth regiment North Carolina troops, commanding at Salisbury; W. R. Skinner, clerk of the court at Edenton, and Hon. William N. H. Smith, member of Congress from the First district of North Carolina, that there was no just cause for the suspicion; but, on the contrary, that he was well known as a gentleman of most exemplary character, and loyal to the Confederate Government. He has been honorably acquitted by the authorities.
