would be necessarily called to its relief,
and that nn opportunity would thus be
presented of effecting their escape in the
confusion which would ensue. The
precaution of the commanding officer
prevented the accomplishment of this de
sign. Having failed in their attempt, they
next sought ids arrest by legal process,
and accordingly a warrant was ob
i tained, demanding the surrender of hint
self and command. .Seeing the very
improper purpose for which this writ was
■>' issued, he determined that it should not
prevent him from doing his duty, nml
i accordingly marched to Gainesville with
i- his prisoners, where eight of then* were
. committed for trial nt the next court.
' Having thus gotten rid of his charge, he
1 declared that it was neither his wish nor
■ intention, whilst apprehending others
1 for violating the law, to oppose any rc
■ sistencc to 11 himself; that the course he
, had pursued, was founded in a sense of
i duty ; if in its discharge, he had done
! wrong, he was willing to submit himself
,i to any tribunal having cognizance of his
offence. The hue and cry against the
i Guard for its conduct in this transaction,
• lias spread far and wide, through the
• country. Falsehoods, accusing them
I oferimes of the most atrocious and ng

I nre.thb calculations of the idle and the
1 disolute. These nrc their avowed oh-.
