| ST. LOUIS May 15.-Capt. Mcdonald came
up before Judge Treat this morning. The writ
was served on Gen. Harney, who answered in
writing in effect that the person of Capt. McDon-
aid not being at the Arsenal within the reach Of
the officers court, could not be prOduced-that
he deplored as much any man the state oftbings
] existing mere, out was DOunu 10 Iudthtdiu
higher law of Government over all and every
effort at rebellion. That Capt. Mcdonald was
taken prisoner while lending his cOuntenance
and support to assemblages of men whose every
act, name and design was in opposition to the
| Government Of the United States That he
doubted whether if Capt. Mcdonald was still
held in the arsenal, he would be justified in de-
livering him up on the demand that had been
made upon him, that the whole matter had
been referred to the authorities at Washington,
and that he should await and endeavor strictly
to carry out the instructions he might receive
/ in relation thereto.
Judge Treat postponed the matter till the
regular Sessions Court on Monday next, as the
question presented being grave and important
one if decided in Chambers. Wright will re-
open the whole case hereafter

cess of the Federal armies and reconstruction

Washington, May 16.-The assurances that
the Administration is vigorously prosecuting its
measures against the insurrectionary States have
a substantial basis. All the members of the
Cabinet together with the President, are ami
mated by a common principle in furthering the
plans for the consummation of the Govern
ment's policy.
An increased stiInulous, however, was applied
to day. A committee of prominent gentlemen
from the city of New York had long interview
with them, and the result was to acceptthe SER
vices of ID additional regiments from New York.
This meets with the concurrence of Lieut.. Gen.
+ Scott. The committee urges more prompt and
efficient measures, with no halt in the proceed
ings, and it appears from their private conver-
sation that the supply of money to support that
increased force is matter which should occas-
ion no concern to the Administration.

has discovered that the Virginians are throwing
up defences within spy glass view of Washing
