From the Army n Navy Chronicle,


From the limited numerical strength
of our army, and its scattered positions
of late years, it has been impracticabls
to instruct the men in brigade or even
rcgimcntal oyolutions. To repair this
defect IL some measure, to recruit the
skeleton companies, to insti! an esprit
de corps among the men of the different
regiments, as well as to afford them
some respite after several latiguing
campaigns, il has been determined to
form an cncampmcnt during the cnsu-
ing summer, and preliminary steps have
been taken as to the location. After
examining the various sites thought to
be eligible, the race ground near Trcn-
ton, N. j., has been selected, as pos
sessing most advantages. Major Mack
ay, quartcrmastcr, and Lieut.. j. T..
Johnston, of the Typographical Engi-
nccrs, have been directed to lay out the
ground for encampmcnt.
1t is probable that from one to three
regiments will be collected at this en-
canpmcnt. The 4th regiment of artil-
lcry, just returned from Florida, will
be the first OH the ground.

The new Common Council of New York
were inducted into office on Tuesday, of last

organization was completed, the members of
both boards fastened away to Blackwell's
Island to pay their respects TO the turtle and
venison which have begun and closed oil the
operations of municipal government, froin

TRIAi. or MARsAUD AND RAYMOND.
We publish on our first page the report
of the trial of Marsaud and Raymond,
as translated from the French for the
r. l. Republican, many of our readers
being desirous of perusing it. We re-
marked in our last that we should wait
for the report of said trial, which is
forthcoming under the supervision OF
DR.. Gouraud, in France-he deeming
this report "rery impcricct'-but Oh
learning that the French paper which
contained this Every imperfect" report,
was furnished the editors of the "Este-
fette" for republication by the Doctor
himself, we have concluded to preserve
a copy Of this also. He seemed to be
very willing that this report should be
published and circulated, with all its
gross slandcrs against this country and
its citizens, imperfect" as he pronoun-
ccd it to be. We look for his own re-
port with much interest, as we are
anxious to know in what respect he
considers this imperfect whether in
what appertains particularly to the guilt
of the criminals, or as regards his own
libellous statements and insinuations.

by tho French Admiral, of Buenos

The gullotine," is to be put in

State of Rhode Island, as | am told, is
to feel the rod of power, to the utter
most. The Post-mnsters at New York
Providence, Bristol, Warren, Pawtuck-
ct, and at Woonsocket Falls, are to be
suffered to 60 into the shades ofprivate
life, and those who have labored in the
cause of glory" arc to be put in their
places. Hurra for Jackson! And how
do you suppose all this is to be done
The Hon. DUTEE j. PEARcE, Of the re-
public of Rhode Island, is here, and is
accompanied by the Hon. Burlington
Anthony, the Marshal of the District OF
Rhode Island. Mr.. A., one of the mos,
decided political managers of the day
unitcs with Mr.. Pcarce in saying thai
blood must be split in Rhode Island
or the democracy will be defeated, and
the ban Of prescription, fancy, has
already been issued.
The President is somewhat bothered
in reference to the case of the Post
Master at Providence, Gen. Edward J
Mallet, and it may be difficult for him
to decide. Mr.. Mallctt is the son-in-
law of the Hon. James Fcnner, the lsl
Vice President of the Baltimore Con
vention of 1885. Mr.. Fcnner is man
of some influence in Rhode Island, and
if offended may do some mischief to the
administration. Mr.. Mallctt, the Post
Master at Providence, it removed, vii

ninety four by the Tammany party-giving a

COM. DAVID PORTER,

We observe that several of the papers
have moo,ed the question Of Responding
Com. David Porter TO the American Navy.
1t will be remembered that several years
ago. Com. Porter was suspended for spiking
some guns which he found on shore, in the
West Indies, while pursuing some pirates.
The guns, unquestionably were q part Of
the armament and force of the pira,ical
scoundrels, but as the United States au.
thorities had not then the precedent which
has since been given by the English au.
thorities in The Scholosser affair, Com.
Porter vas court martia'ed and suspended
Capt. Drew, McNubb and olhor English
pot valiants, for midnight, arson, murder,
cowardly and unexpected infracion of the
law Of nations have been knighted, OF
Otherwise honored. Com. Porter, o gal,
liant aud honorable officer, for a technica
infrac'ion. as we have noted, was suspended
and in consequence threw up his commits
sion. The government of the u. State,
had no motive in the matter but O stric
and honorable fulflment Of their duty TO
weaker power; and 10 this instance thei
conduct contrasts honorably TO the nation
with the disgracefu! course which has beer
pursued by the British authorities ant
British subjects in relation to McNubb
Drew & Co.
After resignation OF his commission il
the U. S. Navy, Com Porter entered III,
service Of Mexico. and since his return /,
