A Union man told us where we might find some secession documents if we would go to a certain house and search diligently foT them It was done soon as said nearly! and lo! what astonishment we were m to find so many valuable piw^ cf theirs , closely poftkJ jn the greatest' of order _ ± |ie ole mass was soon overhauled, .which 'consisted in part of twenty five thousand copies in pam-plefe form, of very‘obnoxious reading matter, to those who are in the service of thciv country, and to patriots generally. It was deemed necessary to send to camp for 2 of our wagons to remove them from that quarter, whicu was soon accomplished. Two of our lar^e wagon boxos were more than full of these incendiary papers.
