And saying that the murderous mob who killed our friends there were right in their action; and that the same men were preparing to give us a warm reception on our return. For these treasonable speeches substantially admitted by him in his written examination, Spencer has been arrested and sent to Annapolis, where he will be properly dealt with. Two incidents of the gravest character marked the progress of yesterday. Charles Leonard, private of Company G, Eighth Regiment, of New York, was accidentally killed instantaneously by
