CONFLICT BETWEEN FEDERAL AND STATE AU-
rHoRITY.--The city of Milwaukee, in Wisconsin
is now the scene of a conflict in jurisdiction be-
tween the Federal and State authorities. Ths
Supreme Court Of Wisconsin have sustained the
decision of Judge Smith in the Court below
whereby S. M. Booth was discharged under q
writ Of habeas corpus, from arrest, for violating
the fugitive slave law. .....
The opinion Of the Court was given by Chic
Justice Wilton, and rests mainly on two
grounds--the insufhciency of the commitment
and the unconstitutionality ofthe fugitive slave
act in delegating in Court Commissioners the
power to hear and determine in cases arising
under the act Justice Crawford concurred
with his brethren in holding that s. M. Booth
was properly discharged from arrest, and that
the writ fhabeas corpus was rightfully granted
but dissented from the view taken of the IN
constitutionality of the fugitive slave act
Judge Miller, of the U. S. District Court
issued warrant for the re-arrest of Booth
however, and the bail rendered by him being re-
fused, he was lodged in the jail of Milwaukee
county
The Chicago Tribune learns from gentleman
who left Milwaukee on Friday evening that
much excitement existed there in relation to the
of Mr.. s. M. Booth, editor of the
Free Democrat, by the United States
authorities, and their subsequent refusal te
liberate him on bail. Some of his friends had
started for Madison to obtain writ of habeas
said to have declared that the writ shall not be
served, under any circumstances, even if he has
to call cut the entire force of the Government &c
resist it. If he adheres to this determination
trouble of the most serious kind may be appre.
hended.
SHEEP RAISING IN VIRGINIA Charlottes-
vile tVa,) Advocate learns that many of the
Piedmont farmers have determined to SOW only
small crops of wheat until the joint worm is
eradicated and to occupy their lands with
raising sheep and growing wool. The demand
for sheep in Eastern Virginia will afford good
market for the great surplus of the western and
south western countries.

bell boat Stingaree has left White river, having
years since near Augusta, about 300 miles up
and also the Yohogamy, 100 miles further down
taking from both the machinery, in good order

route to wreck the General Benz, which sunk il
January last, with large cargo, 10 miles below
Memphis.

the arrest and examination of twenty ION.
tailors, in that city, on a charge of conspiracy
The complaint was made by Mr.. Hutchinson
who had refused to pay the scale of prices de
manded by the tailors' society. The defendants
belonged to the tailors' society, and it wa
shown that they had been indefatigable fo
three months past in preventing work bein!
done for complainant; they had kept two mel
watching the store, and had also kept hors
and buggy to follow persons who took worl
from the shop to execute. Six of the prisoner
were committed for trial An attempt to impli
