Gen. Stone

The telegraph has already given us reasons for the arrest of Gen. Stone, which are probably the correct ones. Of his guilt, there seems to be abundant evidence. A gentleman residing in this county has received a letter from his son, who is a soldier in Gen. Stone’s brigade, in which he says that the officer was frequently seen to pass through the lines of our army toward the rebel camp after nightfall, with a bundle of papers under his arm. No doubt evidence of this kind has been presented to the committee on the management of the war, which they have laid before the War Department, with the effect to send him to Fort Lafayette.
