The Paris DsbdtS, on Mexican affairs, says
the Powers, at the commencement, are to
endeavor to impose suspension of arms on,
the belligerent parties in Mexico. They un-
dertake not to occupy permanently any part.
of her territory, and to obtain no exclusive
advantage from Mexico. England gave up,
the conditions which she wished inserted in
the treaty named, that the three Powers
should pledge themselves not to accept the
throne of Mexico for any prince of their
reigning families. If the monarchical form
prevails, the Powers pledge themselves not.
to use Intervention for the profit of any
prince in particular. The Pdtrie says the
contingent of France will number three
thousand men.

CITY MILITARY HosPTALs.-Most of the
sick and disabled soldiers now in this city
are in the military hospitals on Third-street,
and on the corner of Sixth and Lock. Not
more than four or five remain in st. Johns
Hospital and few if any are in the Com
mercisl. The condition of those in the first
two named is far from being comfortable
notwithstanding the recent ebullition of
popular indignation on the subject as ex-
pressed at the meeting of citizens in the
Merchants Exchange. The committee in
the Mechanics Institute furnish articles,
whenever called upon, as they often are. In
this way they have added much to the com
fort of the unfortunate sick, and have car
ried out the object of the donors. Still,
though they do what they can, and the Of
fcers in charge of the hospitals carry out
their instructions in full, much will be left
undone, which will demand more perfect
system of hospital accommodations and
care. For this, higher officers will be re-
sponsible.

IMPORTANT ARREST. The Government
having obtained reasonable letters, which
implicated young man named Christopher
Hitf, of Ohio, Secretary Seward telegraphed
United States Marshal Sands to arrest Hlff
as soon as possible. For six weeks the off,
Ger has been on the alert for the traitor, and
day or two since succeeded in capturing
his prisoner in Auglaize County, where he
resides with his wife's father. Hiff was
brought to the city this morning, and will
be kept here until further advices from
Washington, when he will be sent to Fort
Lafay ette or Fort Warren. Hiff is a young
man, and was some years since engaged as
book-keeper in a bank on Third. street. He
states that he has lately been selling swords
to the officers of different camps and forts,
which is no doubt the fact but at the same
time obtaining information for the rebels
We do not think the Government would have
ordered his arrest withoutit was in possession
Of facts which will place Hiff in very bad
position.

LIFE OF A CooUETTE. is an Eastern
fable of magician who discovered, by his
ineantations, that the philosophers stone
lay on the bank of certain river, but was
nitely. He then proceeded along the bank
with piece of iron, to which he applied
successively all the pebbles he found. As
one after another they produced no change
in the metal, he flung them into the stream.
At last he hit upon the object of his search,
and the iron became gold in his hand. But
alas he had become so accustomed to the
"touch and go" movement the stone was
'involuntarily thrown into the river after the
others, and lost to him forever. We think
isstory we'll allegories the fate ofa coquette.
She has tried and discarded so many hearts
that at length she throws away the right one
from pure force of habit.

NEWPORT NEWS.

A SOLDIER KlLLED.-A very unfortunate
affair took place at Camp Webster last even /.
ing, between seven and eight o'clock. A
soldier named William Miller attempted to
pass a sentinel, who fired at him, the ball
taking effect in the hip, producing almost
instant death. The deceased was from some
of the border counties of Indiana. The sem
tinel is under arrest, and will probably be
tried by the civil authorities, as it appeared
in evidence before Mayor Hawkins, in a re-
cent hGbeds corpus case, that there are no
military officers at Camp Webster who hold
commissions from the Government.
ExHAUsTED.-The funds in the hands Of
hausted, the usual distribution of provisions,

made this week. e.

We are doing nothing on Broad street.

no use of paying rents and getting back

There is nothing of any import now in the

A correspondent of the Commercial thus
sums up the result of the late expedition to
Cumberland Gap:
The amount of physical suffering caused
by this march can not be computed. None
can tell how many sturdy frames will bend
under disease contracted from this ruthless
exposure. The mortality list of the regi-
ments will shortly begin to make a record.
Many of the sick who were dragged out of
their beds in the London hospitals to be
tortured on the rugged roads, saturated with
rain, and chilled with cold, must die. Many
of the we'll must fall III. Alb, we'll, there are
only two hundred and fifty sick in the
Thirty-third Indiana only a couple of hum
dred or so sick in the Fourteenth Ohio; only
a hundred or so sick in the Thirty eighth
Ohio only several scores sick in the Seven
teenth Ohio: only a few hundreds alto
gether. If they die-recruit the regiments.
The loss of property is nothing The Gov
ernment is rich. Only thirty horses belong
ing to the Seventeenth Ohio were knocked
up and rendered unfit for service, and one
died; one wagon was lost, and 26 900 pounds
of ammunition. About the same report
is made by the Fourteenth Ohio; 80 with
each of the regiments But the moral effect
of the countermarch is one of its worst
features. The mountaineers of Kentucky
regard it q retreat, and the prestige of the
victory at Wildcat is turned against us.
And SO ended the great Cumberland Gap
expedition.
But beg you to wait, readers, for an echo
from the Wildcat brigade. II mistake not
there will be fierce growl ere long from
the Tennessee camp, as vehement as the
denunciation from East Tennessee, which
you read day or two ago in the CONNER
cidL. And l am inclined to believe that il
the indignant letters of the Ohio and Indi-
ana boys are permitted to see the light of
public print, none will think 1 have colored
the foregoing picture. W. D. B.

Words now are useless; action, constant
and incessant action, from citizens and SOL
diers, will only end this war, and bring au
honorable termination to our present diff .
culties. It is for the young men to do this;
our fathers are needed at home-they must

of life, it is now our privilege to perform a
sacred duty to them-stand between them
and the enemy. The time has come, and we
may now initiate the glorious example of
those patriotic men who established our
priceless inheritance. We may now show to
the world that we are worthy Of being their
children-worthy the age in which we live.

before the Police Court this morning, of
which nineteen were caused by drunkenness.
OF all the woe begone, the wretched human
beings we have ever seen, we think thirteen

most complete specimens. If women can
descend to lower degradation, or get farther
out of civilized society, we know not where
they must go. Picked up in cutters and
alleys, drunk, half clothed and extremely
filthy, life long imprisonment we're better

LAW REPORT.
COMMON PLEAS.


RESULT OF THE HABEAs CoRPUs IN THE
CASE OF THE VOLUNTEER.-In the matter of
r. 7. Scofeld, alleged TO be illegally detained
in Colonel Taylor's Regiment, the decision
of Judge Carter was announced yesterday
afternoon.
The Court thought that the matter about
the pay of the soldiers did not seem to be
the burden of the grievances of these mem
it was rather that they had been consolidated
with another company, and were not per-
mitted, according to promise, to elect their
own officers. As to the question of pay, the
Government could increase or decrease it as
they thonght proper. 1t could not be looked
on in the light of a contract. The law may
not be as recruiting officers represent, and
volunteers ought to kno W it, and know that
it can be repealed.
The court came to the conclusion, from the
testimony, that Scofeld would have been
satisfied to remain if Captain Crawford con-
tinued in the regiment; and 1t would not do
to ask for writ under circumstances of that
Kind, because volunteers must know, when
they are mustered into the service, they
must submit to such changes as the wants of
the army may require.
Finally, the court was of opinion that
there had not been that fraudulent represent
alton that would authorize court to dis
charge the applicant from custody.
Inc court look occasion to remark that
the Government ought to fulfill its promise,
| and be careful not to deceive the citizens,
for, if they did, the reaction on themselves
would be terrible.
Scofeld was then remanded to the custody
of Colonel Taylor.
WILL CAsE.-Judge Mallon is engaged in
