no hostility to this gentleman. Far from it. We
heartily wish him safe out of this uncomfortable
scrape And that our benevolent aspirations are not
as valueless as the " Courier's'' savage bravado,
we think we have fully established, by the publica-

whose zeal and skill we cannot for moment call

City Intelligence.
INDIANS IN THE CITY ARsENAL.-The Chiefs, now
on visit to this city, by invitation of Commissary
General Storms, attended parade of the indie
pendence Guards, Captain j. T. earns, yesterday
afternoon. number of ladies and gentlemen had
also been invited, among whom we noticed the
Recorder, Judge Lynch, District Attorney Whiting,
Gen. Morris, Edwin Forrest, &c. &c. After the
chiefs had been received in military etiquette by
this remarkably well-dscplined and soldier-lke
corps, they were honored with salute from seve.
raj of the elegant brass field pieces IN the Arsenal
Yard, which excited their astonishment and wonder
in peculiar manner. But one of them had ever
heard the deafening roar .of artillery before and,
although not muscle was moved at the discharge
of even the heaviest cartridges, yet they looked at
the scene with those peculiar expressions of asto

face. We asked one old chief through the inter-
prefer, what he thought of such implements to
fight with He hesitated, and answered, " Choo-
buck a-Kon ki"-which, interpreted, means, "It
sounds like God Almighty" abiding, as we sup
posed, to the artillery OF heaven, as familiar to him
in his forest home The principal chief on leaving
the Arsenal, after they were shown the implements
of warfare in the various departments of the yard
and buildings, said to his Interpreter: ma

nothing but board fence around it," What
striking commentary was this reply on the neglect
of our State Legislature to appropriate means to en-
close the arsenal buildings and yard with suitable
wall, and also to construct suitable edifices inside
for the protection of the artillery and other mple-
ments that form the only land defence of our extern
sive city We hope this reproof of the cunning In
dian will not fall amss upon our representatives at
Albany.
The Boys OF THE SoMERs.-Recorder Tall
madge decided yesterday that Edward Gala, Chas
J. Godenman, Richard Hamilton and Henry Wal
than, the boys of the Somers, who were brought
before him on writ of habeas corpus should be
general in the navy department. In the case
of William Sullivan, who had previously been
brought before Judge lnglis, who refused to dis
charge him from the service, the Recorder stated
that such hearing prompted him not to interfere, but
that he should also remand Sullivan for general SER
vice.
ANrr-MnITIA LAW MovEMENT-The commit

repeal of the present odious Militia Law, have nut
in circulation a petition to the Legislature, one or

resided with Charles F. Miller, at Little Pals, were
called upon the stand as witnesses, but nothing was
elected of the least interest TO the public.
ExPrANAToRY.-A woman arrested on Wednes-

name stands charged with any offence before the
police.

HowARD's HeTEL-PRIcEs REDucED.-Under this
