Sent to Fort Warren.

‘"Union-sliding"’ Banks, who commands the Lincoln forces in Winchester, is now wreaking his vengeance upon the South by a system of tyranny almost unparalleled.--S the occupation of the Valley, a large number of its citizens have been arrested and to take the oath, or be sent off to Fort Warren. Among the latest victims of this rant's hate are Philip Williams, David W. Berton, and Robert Y. Conrad, Esq., who have been sent off to Fort Warren, there to remain, perhaps, until the termination of this unholy war. Mr. Conrad was a member of the late State Convention, and is one of the most prominent men in the Valley. At the time of his election he was a staunch Union man, and never consented to the separation of Virginia from the Federal Union until the action of Lincoln demonstrated that it was impossible for the State to remain in the Union without submitting to the basest degradation. Messrs. Barton and Williams have long been leading members of the bar in the Valley.
