The case of Lieut.. Col. Woollev cyci;cs much
ihrerest here. The charge against him was for pq.
cling soldier. Fhe facts were these: Col Woolley
lad discovered that this soldier had taken snddl
from him, and, finding the saddle in tue mans pos
session., he struck him several times with whip
which he had in his hand. Although the Cour, Mar
tiol found the facts they recommended to the Pres
dent to pardon him. But the President refused, and
TOR triing offence respected and valuable OF;
ficer is dismissed from the service. But there we're
other FIR this extrao; binary severity the
part Of the President, if | am correctly informed
Col. Wooiley was not an advocate Of General Jack
sans claims for the Presidency the contrar- ne
gas known TO entertain opinions unfavorabc 10 the
competency nf General Jackson. Another reason is
supposed to be the certificate which the brother Of
Col. Wooey gave to Mr.. Clay, and which was pub
ifehcd by Mr. Clay in his pamphlet in vudication o
HIMSELF The brother of Col. Weocy has also mar
red daughter of Mr. WickliHe, whose son had the
unfortunate encounter with bTr. Bcnuing, and this
10 bansh every disposition mercy from the breast
Of the President. II is probable, however that the
hfainees will not rest here, there crcumstan
CTS attending the case, which render it very proper
subject for further action. Col Woollcy was for
some time a resident of Newark, New Jersey, aud is
universally esteemed chivarous aud correct man, in
every sonse Of the expression. The course which
this officer has takcp does not seem to be agreeable
20 the service.
Another circumstance which las excited much
feeling and conversation in political circles is the
,ncercgnonious removal OF DR.. Jones, late Of your
city. from the Patent Office. The Office held by DR..
Jones given away by Gen. Jackson to DR.. Craig,
without any consultation with Mr.. Van Buren,, in
whose department the Patent Office is. Mr.. Van
Bureu, on learning the fact, addressed General Jack
son on the subject, when the General admitted tba,
fa was altogether ignorant that the Office was n
mere clerkshp in the Department Of Stats.- Or.
Jones is very much respected for bis scientific &C.
Quirements. fur from interfering in political
sfhirs rs any man in the city. ihcrc fault TO
be found with him; found with him. but
jackson man wanted the office; and il given to
him without any inqoiry into the in which il
filed; and very probably without even knowl-
cfge on the part OF the President ot the nalnc OF
tho person who filled it. II Is said that Or. Craig,
whose eulpgy has appeared IN the Telegraph, was
Sriod ut clerks desk and found unqualified for that
station, and then il determined thnt the unqual-
Tied for the lower station should 20 To the higher
while the qualified for tho higher should go tn the
lower. DIR. Jones has boon induced indeed To- pub.
lish letter about hs removal. in which he speaks Of
tire courtesy with which he has been treated aud The
llAc but VIC have learned here TO set proper esii-
mite on this style Of clerks in the public Offices. IL
"a perilous time, and I've have no right to expect
that clerks will hazard their situatious for the sake
Of exhibiting any unnecessary degree Diligently or
independence. The general Impression in this city
m the subject Of the removal Of DR.. Jones' Is very
upfavorable TO TIRE President.
Judge Belt of Ohio, who removed from Mr..
KcndalPs Office two three weeks ago, has been re
atcd, in consequences Of tho discovery that his
uccons in Ohio arc very influential, that they
iD favor Of the election Of Cen Jackson and that Il
no were Dismissed from office, they would bc Toe
much rrtatod to 20 IN favor OF tho General SECOND
tins. In consequence Of his reinstatement, a young
iHan who had been in office fortngh, has been ,or
tv1fred."
