S;ouRr MARrIAL-The Court Martial for the trial
of Col Fremont, convened today at the Arsenal at
IL l-2 O'clock The Court WIS merely called TO or
der and then adjourned to meet tomorrow morning
at 10 O'clock
OuoHr NOT TO BE.-In going abroad day or two
ago. almost to the boundary Of the city, we noticed
that great quantity of the Corporation land had
been fenced in and appropriated to the use of indi-
viduals The portion OF land referred to, Is in the
vicinity Of Mr. Oysters farm Northeast of the Cap
ol If we understand the case, this is direct VIC
ation OF the laws of the Corporation. The land
thus enclosed Is intended for Streets and II certainly
Is a source Of much Inconvenience to those In that
ncighborhood to be deprived of the use of the
II Is also hndance to improvements, for IL the
streets were properly laid out doubtless many would
begin immediately to improve their property, and
thus not only add toshe appearance of that portion
Of the city but be Of much advantage to the Corpo
ration in pecuniary way. Whilst the streets are in
this condition persons are actually unable to get 10
their lands without climbing over fences and hedges
Thus the Corporation will see that whilst they per-
nit this state Of affairs to exist they are not only
warning aga INST their own interest," but suffering
portion Of citizens to be deprived of their legal
rights, of which some Of them IRE greatly complain
ing. We sincerely hope that the Corporation will
attend to this and TINT "justice be done though
the world be destroyed"

Sin: In your paper of Friday last, you mention
Fremens Riot between the Franklin and Perseve-
rance Fire Companies 1t was not, believe, the
members of either company who created the riot
but parties of boys who attach themselves to the
ropes of each company whenever nm alarm of fire is
given, for tho express purpose of creating riot.
Now, why do not the authorities pass law to
prevent minors from running with the Fire compa-
MES until they become members of the company
they run with? (For the members of all the Fire
| companies are as far as know all disposed to be
on good terms with each other, especially the two
companies namely Such is the law in othor cities.
There several parties Of boys in this city who
banded together in different tribes ench of which take
up las they call it for favortc Fire company, and
who always hanging about certain places create
an alarm of fire and raise muss.
Yours, very respectfully,
AN ACTIVE FIREMAN.
