CASE OF IDENTITY Yesterday morning, the
sutler Of the Second Regiment Of New Jersey Mr.
Vechter, came from Camp Seminary, over the
river with his wagon and team, to attend to busl-
ness In this city. While his horses were standing
In the street, they were taken possession Of by
Oncer Allen, on the Animation Of John Mont
gomery that one Of the horses belonged to him,
and was taken from bis possession by some one

PAID Ur-The parties connected with John
Ralph In the attempt to get from the Exchange
hotel the baggage Of the three "daug hters Of the
regiment" alluded 10 In the Star Yesterday with
out paying their bill, have since paid up, and
their property has been restored 10 them. We
may here say, in justice to Mr. Walter, that he
was not the counsel for Ralph, but for the pro-
prietor OF the house. The mistake was caused by
the parties suddenly changing positions before the
mogists,e When The parties first appeared the
his counsel; but after the drst testimony was
heard Ralph became the defendant, hence the
mistake.
