Th V law" and Reiolntlona art publlihsd In th Statesman by Authority , THE AUBMINU INCUEASE OK II'IMK. t l It must be apparent to the mmt oawless oh rver, that orimeli alarmingly on the Increase ' in the Pacific) Stale and Territories. Our ex change list eoiliraoes nearly every newspaper I published on the l'aoifio ouait, and we have an . opportunity to tee the (late of affairs from Ar izona to Idaho. We could fill each lime of our ,' 'paper with recital) of morden, robbenei, ar ena, ice committed in all parti of the oountry. We are not the first to observe this state of things. The remark hat heoome general in 'most of our ciolianget, that the ooniinisiion of ' crime it rapidly on the increase. The Stock ton Independent tayi I '." A list of ill lilirhwajr rflhheiiea and murders for mon- . committed iu otirown mines during (he last year, would eumnsi'0 unfavorably with even tlie worst govern id HUte of Meiica. Money and Ills liavs no security. A few dollars is a temptstiun to murder, and so loosely administered are lite laws and so pinching the uecessi. lies of the increasiuK number of Indigents, that between , the temptation and the crlintthe partitions are Ihinand . dully growing weaker. If all whoconimlt llisw felonies rmild beeaptured.thejiillsof the mountains would he HI led to overflow, and I heir keeping anil trlsls would speedily bankrupt half the poorer tounlles. i In oar own State, it It not forgotten that an extensive gang of horse-thieves was, ferreted ' out, and ft it hoped broken up, lust winter, , And in connection with thit gang, we inny ' mention the horse and cntlle-thievei which were known to lt bunded together In Wnlla Walla valley, uud on tliu roadt leading to Ida- - Iin, and which required the nininiiry execution ; of some of the gang, by a vigilance committee, fur its tiippression. Careful ohiervntious mode by the military officers I Ms summer, in pursuit of tho niaruiiding Imuds.'of Indians, iniluco them to believe that many of these thieves and wad agents" are now among the Indiaiis.dit gulied at such, for tho purpose of muru effect ually carrying on their busiueas of theft, rob bery and murder. The recent wholesale mur der of a stage load of passenger, at Port Neuf canyon in ldahn, and the robbery of the oouoh of not less than $75.0(10, making one of the most attiinnding crime ever committed west of Ike Rocky mountains, it now awakening the attention of law-abiding people to thecaute of this alarming ttale of affairs. The Independent tuggetli that the cnuieof this deplorable condition of things it t be found In the decline of business prosper! ty, and the poverty of the country. Saying tielhing about the bad influeuoool such reason ing, if true, we think that but the hare state mi'Dtof a few well known factt will be suffi cient to tbow eveiy one acquainted with the current history of the country, thai it it neith er the want of employment nor the dearth of money, which hat produced moll a crop of 'criminals, but that it it one of the fruit of the Southern Confederacy. Thit growing inoreaie of crime can be traced buck to about the time III ut the Union armiei had completely occupied Missouri and Arkansas. Soon after that peri m, w heard of organised gangt of horse thieve in Southern California, defying the lo. el and civil authoritiet, and preying upon the people.' Following close upon that, the coun try wat ttnrtled by the sudden capture of all the expreat ooaohet and carrion In California, fnnnd on the road on certain day, thnwlng ch-ar enough that an extensive conspiracy or general understanding wat had among the high waymen prior to their bold raid. These high waymen captured large amounts of treasure, retreated to the mountain, and when punned by an armed four., did not hrsitale to resist arret! with the deadly ate o rlllet and revolv ers. Succeeding those events in California, nflieen of the law discovered an extensive band of horse thieve in the Willamette valley, hav. lug connection with other gang in California and Idaho. '' What we have dated at to these nrgnnlta iii in. ii well tuitniued by fact developed oa criminal trials, by the confessions of criminals arrested, and otitnred correspondence now in tho hands of nor sheriffs. We believe Ihut tho perpetrator! of these crimes, and the moving spirits lu these gangs and band of thieve, which have cursed the country, have been rebel guerrillas and outlaw ed rebel soldiers from Price's aruiyi and that they canie to this oonntry for the two fold pur pose of robbery and plunder, and of getting up nil lusurreoliun or rebellion of some kind on mi this coast, with the ultimate object of pre cipitating the l'aoifio State into civil war, or carrying tbein nut of the Union lo the shape of a l'aoifio Repulilio.and thereby getting np a di version on I lie l'acifio in furor of ihe Southern Confederacy. In support of thit view, we have tho well-known and indispuiablefnct. that the horse-stealing parties in Sonllieru California tarried the Coiitedi rate, flag, that they avowed themselves at rebels and in lavnr of JelT. Davit) that the men who captured the Mtiretecnach near Plwoerville. Cel.. also ex hibited a Confederate flag, and staled to the pasengrt that they respected the property of passenger, and only roblied the express to aid ' in raising recruits for Jeff. Davit. In add! loo to there fuels, It is alto stated beyi nd contra diction, that the men In California aud In Ore foes who were connected with these bands of robber and thieves, who have been identified by the officers, were in all eatei Copperhead and secessionist. Thit last faot is of Import auee la this view only, to wiu That rebels and seaewlon agent coming from the South to thi country, for the purpose ft gutting up trouble would make kuowa their plant only .In those who had strong sympathy with the Suatbers Confederacy, aud iIkmus alont would go in with - tuch agents, who had such sympathies, la addition to the fact, it U now known that lb parties who robbed and murdered th passenger at Port Neuf canyon In Idaho, or Ik rebel soldiers' uniform, aud were, beyond (leant, desperados from th broken np rebel arstiei. Bit aaid from Hit notorious foot la the est, is there not many reatnnt founded la the elrouuiilnnoes of the ooonlry and outgrowth uf tkt rebellion which will support our viuw I Tk prevailing idea to th East, and especially la the Southern Stale, it. that this ooantry po. great weilth, rich mines, bit a law lest, reek lets and larbuUnt popnlalioai ad in wkiok it would be easy la orgtniie band of de. pradee larg enough la set the civil tnUiori tiet at drBauea and eunoteling ailh Uw prat. Mt of plunder, th exolttmeut of a revolutlo aid the hope of aiding "their Southern breth ren., there would be large induoiuenli for rebel aud gtwrhlUt to t uit Uii country for the express purpose of getting op tho trooblet we have named. Uebol agent went lo Chica go and organized a conspiracy ef five thousand 'Illiui," to capture Camp Douglas, release tho rebel prisoners, tack the ny, and inltinto a Domncratio rebollmn in the North-west, and why ihftuM they wet come to the Pacific for a timilnr purpose, whore tho elements aud cir camstatKXt were fur more favorable ? That they have had (and for aught wu know, may yet have) treasonable, secret organization! lu Oreson, there it onnsidurable proof in proper hand. If such rebel and agents did oomo, and we have no doubt of that.what other wny, at once so appropriate and effective, to com mence and Inaugurate their damnable schemes by gradually aud insidiously schooling their co-laborer and aid to their terrible work by occasional robberies and murders! The cause is not truly itated by the Stockton paper. This country is not poor. Every man can get em ployment that it not too lazy to work, or too vicious to be trusted. But the wont feature of the whole matter ie yet to b stated. Wherever then rebels and guerrilla! have oomo to this country in suf ficent force to Influence the local administra tion of Justice, they have exercised their influ ence on the tide of the criminal. A nntahlo cose is at hand, whioh will do to illustrate the remit of the evil influence exercised by these invading tehels. A few weeks ago ex-sheriff Pinkham of Idaho, was coolly and deliberately murdered by the uulorious murderer aud des perado, Ferd. Patterson, At the moment of striking down hit violin:, Patterson denounced Pinkham a an "Abolition son of a b h." Tho Iduho papers stated npnn the arrest of Pntterioo (who fled from his crime) "that pol itics would doubtless have much to do wilh nn acquittal of die murderer." Unfortunately for Justico It has turned nut so. Idaho is now in the hands of Copperhead politicians, the Ter ritory Is Democratic, uud mudo Democratic by the vote! of rebel guurrilus and rebel sol diers from Missouri and Arkansas. And not withstanding Patterson was a uulorious mur derer and highwaymen, and had deliberately murdered u man known tn bo a civil and law- abiding citizen, tho rebel "roughs" of Idaho demanded that their louder should nut be in dieted for thit uutriigeous crime, and a Dumu orulio grand jury acceded to the "infhieneo of tho prevailing politics," mid Patterson, the murderer, ia turned loose, tcot free, to murder tho next Abolitionist that may oomo in hi wuy. Of Ihl proceeding the Idaho Statesman ayt : lu the nraseiil instance, t luo-t auualliiix and uiinro vuked murder has been commuted lu open day, under riicuiiiHiaiices mat leave no rooiu to douul that the ac cused ought to be nut uuou trial. Thelurv in ignoring a bill have done iiuless tl-mi to isut a hi-eose to murder the next man he may differ with. Mow long Is this stateol things to last? The leniency of trial juries has become proverbial, but It seems that our grand juries are eveu mora lax. It la tlia time the country under atoiai It, it the knife and bullet art to rule, aiid sumu- sinulion go unpunished. Suoh a result was to be expected in Idaho. The Demooratia politicians of that Territory had invited the rebel there to aid them in carrying the election just as the Democratic politicians in Oregon are now invit ing rebels to this State they carried the last election, and now they have the fruits of a vie tory achieved by such Infamous means. It wai to he expeoted. Men that been have schooled in bushwhacking, robbery and guerrilla war fare In Missouri, will not regard tlio civil law in Idaho or Oregon, where they are strong enough to overawe it. And, now, we say to these Democratic lead ers' who are so anxious tn carry the next elec tion in Oregon by the aid of the "rebel vote," stop and think. Don't weigh in the balance the petty achievement of an election triumph against the welfare of the State, the security of property, and the peace of society. And to the voters of Oregon, its permanent citizens, we sny, take warning by Idaho. Euuuurage none but law-abiding citizens to settle in the Stnle, ami to all such give the right hand of fellowship. L't rebel stay where they committed their crimes, and let them win back and receive all their rights among their old neighbors who are the best judges of what is their due. OitEuoX Centr.ii. Mii.itaiiy Hoai. Tlio ex ploration of this road has progressed beyond Fort Klamath. Ily letter from there we learn that Messrs. l'eugra and Odell, with the military cort were encamped oil 8prngu' river, lifly miles east of Fort Klamath, aud intended moving on southeast in a few day. The result of the explo ration to that point had buen favorable, a good route, with abundant graa and water most of the way, having beeu found. Sir. l'iirra had called upon Mnj.

We give from the San Frnnoiscii paper some further particulars in regard to this great disaster: STATEMENT OF FAHKET.L, HTEKIt'OE 8TKWAIH) On Saturday, before the wreck, the wind commenced blowing fearfully, mid continued until th wreck and after. On Sunday, at 12 o'clock, tho Captain took the sun and gnt our position. Finding the storm was likely to con tinue, he rounded to, with the hope of making Crcfoeut City, wheru he intended to lay at nn chor until the storm abated. After we round ed to, we ran for Crescont City, I suppose for thirty or forty minutes, when the ship struck. She. ntrncK very bard, apparently anout nan way between her stern and foromiist. She did not appear tn strike her stern ; but raised on the swell and settled directly upon tne roca. Hie next sen that struck her carried her as lar on to the rock as her foremast. Her bottom was hatllv torn to nieces, and her foremost dropped through until stopped by the yard-urio. she remained swinging at tne mercy ni tne waves until she sank. Tho olliccrs were very cool, and were doing all in their power tn save the lives ot the passengers, who were very calm under the circumstances. When Captain DeWulf fonnd tho rhip wa hound to sink, he walked fnrwnrd and coolly snld i "All hands aft and try to save your selves. Tne nrst uoai mat was mwereu wnt the forward boat on tho port side, and was swamped ; its crew were swimming around her. When we Inst saw her there was one man sit ting astride of her, and she was npsidv down. The next boat that was lowered wa on the starboard side of the eh'p. directly astern of tho wheel. This was under the charge of Campbell, the Second Mate, and contained a larger number of ladies, hut wits swamped he fore she was free from the davits ; her stem was smashed in against the ship's side. The First Officer, Allen, hauled her passengers on bimrd ship again, Thu Captain, who wnt funding on thu hurricane neck Just aft ntt the wheel-house, spoke to me, and told mo tn put the plugs into the bout swinging nt thu star hoard dnvils, just nsteru of I bo lust that liad been swamped. I did so, and ho then told me to remain in Iter, for the pnrposo of keeping the men nut of her, nnd told ins tu tnko as many women as would go, I did so. John P. Hetisley brought two women nnd tried to get them into thu hunt, lint could not succeed ; they begged hun to let them go. which he did, Seeing that tlio women would not get in I anii : "John, yon hud better gut in yourself," but he said he would not; that he would star nnd assist others in saving their lives. I then said : ".fubn, if you will lint go give me n bucket." Ho b'nped from the hnri cane to the upper or pilot deck, nnd gave inn one of the firejiuckets that Here in a rack on the wheel-house. I tried again to induce him to come, hut he would not, saying that there were already cnnue,h in thu boat. Allen then Commenced lowering us down. John Ileiisley was tho Inst mini I spoke to, nnd his Inst winds to me were; "Keep cool nnd save yourselves good-by I" When we struck the water the ship rolled over on us and nenrely sunk us, hut hut we escaied with only thu Ins of all our slur-board tide-pint. We bad bard work to clear the ship, which vie could only do by push ing the boat around under the ship's stem. In this manner we mnunged In get steerage way and the use of our oars. We started immedi ately for shore. Wo were running quartering wilh the waves, which broke over us on nearly every crest, at times nearly filling tho bout, and had it not been for the bucket that was given us by our brnve-hearted shipmate, John Hens ley, there would pohnhly never have been n soul saved to give tidings of tho terrible disus ter. After wo left the ship, there wero two gun fired ; we looked hack at tlio ship aud saw her smokestack go by the hoard. We then went down into tho trough of the sen so far nt tn make it iiiiiussiblo tn see tho ship. When we arose on I bo next crest, I saw the signal of dis tress flying nt tho mi.zenmnst head. We were again let down into the tn ngh of the sea, and when wu enmu up again, the ship had en tirely disappeared. I think the waves drove her over the rocks, and that she went down stein first. We were about three hours getling to Crescent City,' I should think. The water was very cold, and I think U would not have pnsfible for a man to have lived more limn ten hnurisahiid any tried to savo themselves by iiieinl of life preservers or drift of any kind where they would have been exposed to the water. The people of Crescent Cily treated ut kindly ; nnd (hero were throe or four hunt, including the one in which Wo were saved, dis patched at once for the wreck, but after get ting outside a short distance, they were forced to return, nt thu sea ran so high a to muku it impossible lor them to go further. Tho olliccrs were all very brave men. and though death was staring them in the face, they wero oool and sensible. Mrs, Stott, one of tho rescued passengers, says that Yates, tho Quartermaster, did nil in his power lo get others into this boat, nnd says that the reason so many of tho crew were saved was, that this being tho smallest boat, the offi cers and gelitlemnu on hoard considered it less safe than the others, aud sent nil the ladle in to the larger ones, which wero lost. The San Frnnciscn Call has the following : Sounding had beeu made ut llie scene ol the wreck, but nn truce of It us found. The sun. ken rock was there, nnd nloiigsiilo tho hue showed lifly fiilhoius of water- Thu only evi dence that a wreck hud buen there was the presencu of a mnsa of oily tiibstnucu on the url'aeu of the water. It it thought by the third ollleer and others Unit llie vessel must have careened over and slid from the rock down tn the bottom of thu sea, w here the uina of her, no doubt lie deeply imbedded in the sand.

Canadian Akfaiiis. A correspondent of tho New York Herald, writing from Quebec, under date of June 2et, gives the following in formation : Tho political affairs nf thit Province just now are considerably " mixed," nnd few persons know with what party to array themselves. For many yenrs Upper Canada has been outvoted by Jean Baptiste, of Lower Canada; represen tation by population, and other proposed meas ures to relieve Upper Canada of the iuenbus, have been agitnted, and nil have failed. About a year ago the leaders of the two chief parties held a caucus, and the result was a coalescing between the followers of Ocorge Brown on the one hand, and John A. Mncdonald nn tne ntner. They accented a a basis for thi Hew party coalition tlie consideration scheme, that for many months hat nttructed so much notion in in this country and Great Britain. Meanwhile the agitation of the question of annexation goes nn. and the public are in a State of nervous excitability, growing out of llie uncertainty of the relations with the Uuited States. The pro vincial debt of the country has increased since IHliO about $15,000,000 or at the rate of til. 000.000 per year, until the Canadian groan under a public debt of about t.'IS.OOO.OOO. To Canada this is a critical moment. No one knows tn what point he should steer, and everybody looks forwnrd tn a crisis in the gov ernment the moment that the result of the del egate' visit is made known. Should the gov ernment be defeated (and they must he, if the confederation icheroo fail) a general election would to doubt follow. It is hard to guess what qoe'tioiia would form tho points of dispute in that campaign. Lower Canada would go largely tguiust confederation; Uier Canada' almost unanimously for it; hut knowing, as Upper Canada does, that the maritime prov inces have the power tn defeat the measure. I look to an nbaudonment of the schema and the substitution of separation an i independence therefor. The prnpnsed termination of the Uo ciprocity treaty has struck terror into the peo ple, nnd all seem impressed with the urgency of some legislation that will more closely ally Canada with the neighboring republic. Tins is nothing more or less than n peaceful with drawal from Great Britain and annexation tn the United States, All things considered. I am forced In the conclusion that this year will witness oiie nf (he greatest revolution in the poll ics uf this province that it has ever known; and firmly believe that twn of the questions at tlie next poll will he "ifepariition it Mil iudu peiitieiicc" and "annexation." The annexa tion breeze that swept, over Canada in 18111 was nit a puff of air compared with whut this year will develop should the coufederutian scheme fall to the ground. A Swoiti) that Curs both Ways. By tho fillowtng, from the correspondence of the BullHin, we should judge that the rebels are gcttirg a little more than they played fur, in the "reserved rights of States" ; President Johnson, in declining tn interfere for tht establishment of negro suffrage in lato rebel States, has adopted a rule which works both ways. A day or twn since a delegation Tenuesseans appealed tn him against certain lawsalopted by the loyal government recently set in notion within tho State of Tennessee. They complain bitterly uf new laws vhich pro vide tint those who have been engaged in the late rebellion aud those who have openly sym- inthiz(d therewith, shall he deprived of tho right of sultrute during several rears to come This, they urge, disfranchises three-fourths of the vot-rs of that Mate, and "stands stubborn ly in t!t way" of all who are really desirous of lilting tlie Suite nut of the slough of Lies pond into which the war hat plunged them. To all this the President ha no answer except that which he gives to the advocates of negro suf frage, viz ; "That the matter is exclusively nf State jmisdiction, with which the Gevera) Gov ernment bus nothing to do." Andrew John sou, whet) Military Governor of the Statu, handed over thu whole business of forming a loyal local government to the loyal people of the state, llie reliels at that time were too busy in pusbiug on the rebellion to tnko any notice ol what their loyal neighbors worn do ing. The latter proceeded to elect n Slate Government and a Legislature, aud whatever the latter have done or may not do inconsistent wilh the Constitution of the United States, it I heir own business. They had the right tn im pose upon disloyal men the disabilities com plained ol, and if they can show the President that he his power tu remove those disabilities and restore the suffrage to disloyal whites, the same arguments must convince nil parties id Mr. Jobixon's power to concede black suffrage also, lint the t'resident will do neither lie will leave thu Slates lo fight out all theso polit ical battles uinnng themselves, uud permit the disfranchised whiles to earn their pardon and restoration tn political rights just as other criminals earn theirs, by "good behavior" con tinued long enough lo afford proof of their hu mility and repentance. Lakes on tub Tops or Hum Mountains. A California exchange notices a lake which has recently been discovered in Nevada. which, although but 400 feet iu length by UIIO in breadth, has been sounded tn the depth of 700 feet without finding any bottom. It probably occupies the crater of au extinguished vulcano. A large number uf qnnrlz leads appear to radl- in every direction from this lake, as a center. and quite a mining camp is griming up there Oregon produces a greater curiosity than that, in the bilio line. About two years ngn a lake wn discovered in thu Cascade mouutains, about seventy live miles northeast of Jackson ville. A party of hunters who have recently visited the lake make the following description: "It is thought to average two thousand feet down to thu water all round. Thu walls are almost perpendicular, running dowu into llie water and leaving no bench. The depth of the water is unknown, and il surface ia smooth aud unruffled, a it lie to fat below the surface uf the mountain that the air currents du not af fect it. It length is estimated at twelve mile and its width nt ten. There is au island lu its center, having trees upon it. Nn living man ever has, and probably never will, be able to reach the water a edge. 11 lies silent, still and mysterious in the bosom of th "vverlusling bills," like a huge Well scooped out by the hand ol llie giaut genu ol the mouutains, in the un known ages gone by, and around it the prime val forest waich and ward are keeping. Dkmdckatiu Docthinb. One . Iugertoll, late leader of the modern Democracy ia Phila delphia, made the following declaration in a speech before the "States Bight Society" iu New York, on Jefferson's birthday I yield te uo man iu sympathy for the people ol the south, a gallant people struggling nobly lor their litierty against as sordid end vile a ty runt as ever proposed the degradation of our race. .Nay, 1 go further, and with Jefferson, Madison aud Livingston, 1 fully endorse the dootiino ol secession as an Atuencau doctrine, without the element of which American insti tutions cauuot permanently live. Ghastly Rki-oku It ha been actcertain- ed that above fourteen thousand Uuion soldiers are bntied at Andrrsnuvill murdered by starvation and other rebel barbarities. The committee report that about one-hair the prison ers in the hell-pit a Richmond died in a similar manner. And now Democratic editor ask loyal people vO take these murderers of their friends by the band and welcome them back lo their b.riner rights immediately. We say let them stay nnt until they show by their conduct that Ihey will heretller behave iheintelve as Civilised men. Fhki Tn.iin Lraqi'i. A Free Trad league hat been formed In New York City W.

Sumner, at sixty four erect, ngiio and soldierly, with stinw-white hair. A few yards distant, in nn open field, a party nf oflioers wero suddenly startled by two shells, which dropped very near them. The group broke up and scattered with great alacrity. "Why," remarked Sumner, wilh ft peculiar smile, "the shells seem to excite a great deal of elimination among those young gentlemen." It appeared to ninnso aud surprise tho old war-hoiBe thnt anybody should he stnrtled by bullets or shots. Lying upon the ground nearhy.with his head resting upon his arm. was another ollioer.wcar ing the two stars ot a Major General. " Who is that 1" I asked uf a journalistic Iriend. "Fighting Joe Hooker." was the antwer. With his side whiskers, rather heavy coun tenance and transparent oheeks, which reveal ed the blond like those of a blushing girl, be hardly looked all my fancy had pointed him. Toward evening, at the head of his corps, preceded by the pioneers tearing away fences for the column, Hooker led a forward move ment across Antietain creek. His milk-white horse a rare target to rebel sharpshooters could be seen distinctly from afar, against the green landscape. I could nnt believe that he was riding into battle upon tuch a steed, for it teemed suicidal. Galloping up the road and waiting two or three minutes, we beard three six-pound shot in rapid succession, nnd a little lifer who hud climbed a tree shouted, "There they come like the devil, with the rebels alter them." From a vast clnud nf dust emerged soon our troopers, iu hot haste and disorder. They had suddenly awakened a rebel battery which open ed upon them. "We will stir them np," snid Hooker, as the cavalry commander made his report. Why, General." replied the Major, "they have some hatterie up there." "Well, sir," answered Honker, have n't we got a ninny batteries as they huvel Move on." McClellnn. who had accompanied the expe dition thus far, rude back 'n the rear. Hooker pressed forward, accompanied by Gen. Meade, then commanding a divisiou, With a heavy force of skirmishers we pushed nn. finding nn enemy. Our line wns three quarters of a mile in length. Hunker was on thu extreme right, close npnn the skirmishers. A we approached a strip of woods, a hundred yards wide, far nn our left, we heard a single musket. Then there wus another, then anoth er, nnd in nn instant our whole line blazed like a train of powder, in one long sheet of flame. Bight on our front, through -the narrow belt of woods, to near that it seemed that we might toss a pebble tn them, rnse a countless horde of rebels, almost instantly obrciirtu liy the lire from their muskets and the smoke of their bat teries. My confrere and myself were within a few yards nf Hooker. It wns a very hot place The combined and mingled hum of the bullets was like the din of a Lowell factory. Solid shot and shell came shrieking through tho air, hut over our heads, as we wero ou the extreme lelt. Hoi ker common-place before the mo ment he heard the guns, loomed np into gigun tic stature. His eye gleamed with tho great anger of battle. Ho seemed to know exactly what to do, to feel that he was master nf the situation, and tn impress every one else with the fact. Tunning tn one of his Staff, he said: "Go and tell Captain to bring his buttery and plant it there at once." Tho Lieutenant rode away. After giving one or two further orders, with great clearness, rapidity nnd pre cision, Honker's eye again turned to that mass nf rebel Infantry in the woods, aud ho said tu another officer, with grent emphasis : "Go nnd tell Captain to bring his battery here tn- stuntly " Sending more messages to the various divi sions and batteries, only a single member of the Staff remained. Once more scanning the woods with his eager eye. Hooker directed the aid : "Go and tell Captain tn bring that battery here without one second's delay. Why. my God. how we can pour it into thuir infant ry !" By this time several uf th body guard had fallen from their saddles. Our horses plunged wildly. A shell plowed thu , ground nmler my rearing steed. Honker leap d his white horse over a low fence into nn adjacent orchard, whither we gladly followed. The de sired battery, stimulated by three successive messages, camo up wilh smoking horses at a full run, w as uuliiubered in the twinkling ol an eye, and began tn pour shots into the enemy, who were also suffering severely from our in fantry discharges. , It was not many seconds before they began to waver. Through the rift ing smoke we could see their line sway tn and fro; then it broke like a Ihiw iu a grent river. Hooker rnse in his saddle, and in a voice of suppressed thunder, exclaimed ; "There they go. liod d n them ! Forward !" Our whole line moved on. It was now nearly dark. Hav ing shared the experience of "Fighting Joe Hooker" quite loug enough, I turned toward the rear. , Honker, wounded before noon, wns carried from the field. Had be not beeu disabled, he would probably have made it a decisive con iliet. Kenlizing that it wnt one of the world's great days, he said, "I would gludly huvo compro mised with the enemy I'V receiving a morlul wound nt night, could I have remained at the head of my troops until the sun went down."

The curious result of tho Triii-t divorce suit admirably illustrates the folly nf the existing roles n to the admissibility of evidence, which by refusing the testimony nf thuse who really know most of the matter at issue, often deleat tho ends ot Justice, although the npplioation of them does uot always, as in this case, remit in a pulpnhln absurdity. One nf nnr ennrts line, in fact, decided that Trust has two wives. find yet that he has not commit ted bigamy. The plaintiff brought the suit against him, alleging marriage and infidelity. The defendant denied tho marriage, and pro duced a witness to whom he avers he was mar ried long before his acqnnntniice with the nlaiiitifl'. The womun's testimony cmild not he received heoause, by hor own confession, she was the defendant's wife, Hor exclusion was an acknowledgment on the pnrt nf the court that sho was his wife, - If, however, her evidence had been received, the court would already have decided that she was not bis wifu and thus settled in advance the very point up on which she was called to testify. It having been thus acknowledged that the witness is Trust's wife, the jury brought in a verdict for the plaintiff, legally establishing the latter' claim as the true wife. Now the defendant has not committed bigamy, because if he wns married tn the witness the plaintiff could nnt be hi lawful wife, nnr entitled tn a divorce. But if she is his lawful wife, then he wus nnt married tn the witness.and her testimony ought to have been received. If, on the other hand, that testimony, when received, had proved her tu bo his wife, then it ought not to hare been received, nnd yet from the exclusion of it, be cause it is true, a verdict Is given In favor of the plaintiff to whioh she is uot entitled if the evidence nf the witness was rightfully exclud ed. While the evidence nf the woman whom Trust avers to be his lawful wife is thus ex cluded, in accordance with tho ancient rule that wives cannot testify against their" hus bands, the evidence nf the defendant himself ia excluded, in compliance with n rule equally ancient, on account of his religious opinions. The result is, that the defendant has no oppor tunity to prove the trnlh of his defense, nnd the court divorces him from one woman nnd prohibits another from testifying because she had been married tnhiin. without allowing him who has the best knowledge nf nil the facts to unfold them to the jury. iV.

"How a juryman sleeps," is shown in a spirited sketch represen ting a juror with a stool under his head and heels upon the flour. "Thu jury released." shows the long pent-np jury just out upon tho streets.. The poor devils are finding it very hot.

Another juryman, a certain landlord, was one of the uufortunato twelve, doomed to weary hours of prespiration iu the court-house. After the court had adjourned ono afternoon, as mine host was standing behind the bur squeez ing limes for exercise, tho butcher approached with a bill and presented it, With a wave nf the hand, Bnniluou gestured him off, "I'm a juryman, sir; you mustn't approach me; you'll bo arrested sure. " 1 he devil you say !" and Charley (that's the butcher) crammed the bill to his pocket nnd retreated, minus his dues. Ho ha since learned that talking to a uryiiinu isn't so hazardous.
