THE ARMY.

The following circuLr has been issued, dated War
Office, Jan. 2G:—
" The Secretary of State for War deems it expedient to
isEize the following instructions for the guidance of com-
manding officers and ethers :-1. All crime punishable by
the civil power, the comanission of which is brought to the
cognisance of the commanding, officer, should forthwith be
notified by the commanding officer to the chief constable of
the county or borough, that the same may be duly investi-
gated by the police, and punished by tha ordinary criroinal
tribunals of the county or borough, 2. In case of murder,
where the accused and the deceased woi;e both subject to the
Mutiny Act, the commanding officer shoin.l request the ma-
gistrates forthwith to transmit a copy of /.'le depositions
taken before them to the Secretary of State, ti.'at the case
may (if he deems it expedient that a more speedy L'ial of the
accused should be had than the usual course of practice al-
lows) be prepared for trial by the solicitor to the Depart-
ment under the Jurisdiction in Homicides Act, 1864 E.
Where commanding officers, or the men under their com-
mand, are made defendants in legal proceedings, whether
of a civil or criminal nature, the defence thereof must be
conducted upon the sole responsibility of such defendants.
4. When in such cases any claim is preferred to the Secre-
tary of State for assistance in the defence or for the reim-
bursement of the cost thereof, it must clearly be shown with
reference to the declaration or indictment (of which a copy
should be sent with the application) that the act complained
of was one sanctioned by competent authority, or clearly
within the prescribed course of the defendant's duty. 5
Until the Secretary of State directs the solicitor to the De-
partment to take charge of the defence, or to reimburse the
cost, he will incur no responsibility whatever on account
thereof. " EDWARD LUGARD."

THE OIL SPRINGS. danir papers state that
owing to the sudden and almost universal cessation of the
flowing wells, there is quite a panic among the dealers, and
until the result of putting down pumps has been ascertained
contracts cannot be negotiated.

THE FEDERAL ARMY.—In answer to a call from
Congress for information as to the numbers now
constituting the army, the Secretary of War has presented
a report containing a let:er from the Adjutant-General,
who says that a statement of the men in service would in-
volve the examination of muster rolls of about a thousand
regiments, and that in his opinion the publication of such
a statement " would not be compatible with the public
interest."

SPAIN.

The ceremony of decorating the Prince of the
Asturias with the Grand Cordon of the Legion of
Honour took place on the 29th ult., at the Palace
at Madrid. Her Majeaty had near her the King
her husband, and the great officers of the Royal
Household. The young Prince, in the uniform of
a corporal of ChaQseurs, was placed between his
august parents. The French Ambassador, in pre-
senting the insignia to her Majesty, said:—
" Madam,—l place in your Majesty's hands the insignia
of the Imperial Order of the Legion of Honour which the
Emperor, my august Sovereign, has conferred on the Prince
of the Asturias, in order that your Majesty may have th
pleasure of decorating the Prince yourself. I shall not
allow myself to add anything to the tenour of the letter
addressed to your Majesty by the Emperor. Let your Ma-
jesty only deign to permit me to congratulate myself on
having been chosen to perform this honourable mission, and
t, manifest to you the hope that one day, when the Prince
shall have become aman, he will consider the insignia which
the two young Princes of Spain and France will have worn,
for the first time as it were simultaneously on the same day,
as a bond of sympathy and affection which will always
unite them as are now united the two Governments and the
two countries of which both of them are the love and the
hope."
The Queen replied as follows :

"Mousier l'Ambassadeur—Be kind enough to make
known to the Emperor, your august Sovereign, the satis-
faction which I feel at this fresh proof of his cordiality to-
wards Spain, and towards my family. The investiture of
the honourable Order, with the insignia of which I am
about to decorate my young son, will doubtless be a perms;
nent reminiscence of the friendly relations existing between
France and Spain, and the honourable exception made by
the Emperor as regards the age of the Prince of the Asturias
will be an additional proof of the interest which his Impe-
rial Majesty has on more than one occasion manifested
towards my family. lam delighted, Monsieur l'Ambassa-
deur that you, whom I esteem, should be the faithful inter-
preter of these sentiments and the medium between his
Imperial Majesty and myself on this so pleasing an occa-
sion."

['he Queen then placed the insignia on the breast of
the Prince. Their Majesties afterwards addressed
some friendly remarks to the Ambassador and the
members of the Embassy, and the proceedings ter-
minated.

TIIE MURDER AT CHATHAM. CHATHAM,
Thursday.—This afternoon Mr. Tnnmas Hills, the
coroner for this borough, opened an inquiry into the circum-
stances ebnnec'ed with the death of Alfred James Holden,
who was murdered by his father in a room near Brompton
Barracks, under the c'rcumstancss already detailed. The
jury having been sworn, proc eded to view the body, which
lay in the same room in which the murder took place. The
deceased was a remarkably fine child, and from the appear
ances on the body there was little doubt that the at tack by
the accused must have been moat determined and savage.
There were two w lands on the tht oat, one of which was,
in rea:ity, caused by a series of stabs any one of which was
of itself sufficient to have caused death. The evidence given
was merely confirmatory of the account sent yesterday, and
at its close, the Jury at once returned a verdict of wilful
Mu-der against Alfred Holden, and the Coroner made out
his warrant for his committal to Maidstone Gaol.

all who treat these diseases according to the simple printed

to the young and timid, whose bashtulness sometimes

their eases to a happy issue without expr,aing secret in-

gives great ease. The same directions also clearly
point out when and how Holloway's Pills are to be taken
that their purifying and regulating powers may arrest by

SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS.

limEs.—The proclamation which was to have
conciliated the friends of the negro in Europe has
failed to command respect in America. It was
jus-
tified by its authors only as a military measure, and
even as .t military measure it is beginning to be con-
demned by public opinion in the North. Nc sooner
was wholesale emancipation proclaimed as a prin-
ciple than it estranged the Demncrats, and it has
now ceased to rally the Republicans themselves. In
place of it has at length been substituted an older,
more genuine, and more honest sent iment—a demand
for the Union at any price, whatever be the effect ot
its restoration on the destinies of the slave. It is
thus that we interpret the rapid spread of the
Union Leagues," mentioned by our New York
correspondent. Whether their aim be to neutralise
the influence of the Democrats, or to reunite the
fragments of the Republican party, their significance
'is the same. From the new platform the doctrine
of Abolition is to be excluded, for the sufficient
reason that it has been tried as a political engine
and found wanting For the zealots who forced the
experiment upon Mr. Lincoln we are willing to
make great allowances. They were men of one idea
and of no practical experience, who thought they
saw an unique opportunity of carrying their favou-
rite project by a coup de main, and could not refrain
from taking advantage of it. The spirit of the
Forth was roused in a struggle for what some call
national unity and others call empire, and the Abo-
litionist leaders fancied they could utilise all this
1 patriotic passion for the purposes of a crusade
against slavery. From their point of view the
horrors of a servile war were as nothing in the
scale against the social heresies of slaveowners, and
they did not stop to calculate the gain or loss to
humanity of a war to be conducted on their system.
Bigotry seldom feels scruples or forecasts conse-
quences, and we are not surprised to hear that
the " preachers, lecturers, strong minded women,
and Anti-Slavery Societies" are still as frantic as
ever in their clamour for negro regiments atd ex-
peditions designed to excite negro revolts. The
responsibility for these acts rests upon the shrewd
and cool-headed politicians of Washington who have
made themselves the tools of this fanaticism, and
these, after censuring General Hunter for prema-
ture Abolitionism, have at last left him to carry on
war in his own way. It is but too probable that the
next mail will bring us details of the massacre of
Colonel Higginson and his negro followers on the
St. Mary's River, in Georgia, and that a long train
of sanguinary reprisals will flow from this event.
If the policy which has occasioned these atrocities
had united the North and strengthened the hands
of the Government, there would be some semblance
of an excuse for it, but the reverse is notoriously the
rect. Just when the Proclamation is beginning to
hear its fatal fruits, it is virtually repudiated by
the great majority of Northerners,and the Union at
