CRIMINAL CouRr.-To-day, Mr. Bradley, for
defense, In the case Of the L. s aet William III
Russell called the attention of the Court to that
case, and said the Court would recollect that at
me last term the counsel for defense in the case
bad put In special plea Of the act Of Congress
which provides that no man shall be tried for an
ohense concerning which he has been examined
as a witness before a committee Of Congress The
counsel were now ready with the record Of the
proceedings Of the House committee I'm the case
OF the abstracted bonds, showing what took place
before that committee in reference to the matter
at issue
The District Attorney objected to taking up the
case unless some member Of the House committee
Were present In court Things might have trans
PRED In the committee which might not have
been placed upon the journal.
Messrs. Humphrey Marshall, r. s. Thompson.
Davidge, Chiffon & Magruder, other counsel for
the defense, were in court and urged that the case
be brought up.
Mr. ould sin objected that he thought IT to be
his manifest duty 10 have some one Of the COM
mittee in court who was present at the time Mr.

"MTLIrARY ScARE-CRows," AND MILITARY
Cow-ScAREs The genius who " corresponds''
from w ashington for the Richmond Ezamin,r,
feels bad He says the procession here on Mon
companies from distance and the only thorough
ly drilled company Of the city stayed at home
disgusted at the attempt to make their Captain
engage to fight against his native State Of Mary
land. The few companies Of District Militia,
marching badly and huddled up like wild geese
and two companies Of Federal troops, made up
the military scare-crow to deter the sanguinary
Virgin.ans from their meditated assault upon his
Republican Majesty, Lincoln the First"
We dare say our District militia won't take this
assault 30 much at heart as to lay awake o'nights
about 1t. Whether they march like geese or not
Is matter Of taste, but they positively aver and
declare that on occasion have they been van
quisbed.by eoU! The thoroughly drilled and
disgusted company that stayed at home," will
not probably thank the Examiner chap for his
discriminating notice.
Visits TO SECRETARY HoLr On Tuesday, the
Pennsylvania delegation, numbering about 400
called en- Secretary Holt to give express,o on to
their high regard and appreciation Of his patro otto
service rendered in the great crisis through which
the country he's passed Mr.. Holt In an clog
speech. welcomed them to his residence, and re-
marked that when be entered on the du les Of the
War Department II was too late to do much more
than to put a check upon the downward course
which had been previously pursued. He regarded
the cession from the Union Of the Gulf States
not unlike the of man who betook himself
to a cave, and resolved never to patronize the sun
again because he perceived through a telescope a
few small spots upon the face Of that luminary
On the same day, q large delegation from Massa-
chusetts waited upon Mr.. Holt, and on yesterday
the Secretary received similar visits from delega-
tons from Maine, Ohio, and indiana.
