contains sixteen brothers, by the name Of
Fisch, all residents of that city. They were
born in Durkhem, in Germany. The family
numbers in all nineteen children, sixteen boys.
all Of whom are with the regiment, as stated
above. The parents are living in New Y ork,
and their children have obtained leave to visit
them in that city.
PERsoYAL.-Hon. William NJ. Dunn of In.
diana, Hon. J. N. Arnold of Illinois, and Gen.

day to Fortress Monroe.
ARREST OF spY.-A young man named
John W. Cluite, about eighteen years of age,
was arrested yesterday afternoon by squad of
the Presidents Guard, and brought before the
Commanding General, who committed him to
jail. 1t is stated that he has been lurking about
the offices Of the Commanding General and the
War Department for several weeks past, on the
pretence Of looking for an office, and that he
has been sending down information to the sc.
cessonists in regard to the military movements.
When brought to the city, he protested that he
was Union man. He is very well known in
the city, having resided for some time on the
Island. He was sent to Jail, along with others
of like character.
The Posr OFFICE FLAG.-In reply to "V Vim.
dex," in our yesterdays issue, we are author.
ized to state that the expression officers and
clerks in the Post Office Department" as used
by General Skinner, was intended to include
all the contributors to the "aag fund" who
we're employed under the roof over which "that
flag" so proudly Hoated, and that nothing was
farther from his Intention than doing injustice
to the clerks Of the Sixth Auditor, with all of
whom he has ever maintained the most friendly
relations.
The UNION RESOLUTIONS AND THE BOARD OF
ALDERMEN.-By q typographical error in yes.
terday's paper, we were made to say that reso
lutions OF Union character have been offered
in the Board of Aldermen. 1t should have
been that no Union resolutions whatever have
yet been offered in that body, while the resolu.
tons which came from the Board Of Common
Council, after having passed that body, were
laid on the table. The voters of Washington
will not forget this fact on Monday week.

WASHINGTON, May %, 1861.
Mr.. Editor: Under the heading Of" "a swim.

cent transaction Of leasing the Washington
ln6rmary to the Government for 81 900 month,
and charges this transaction on the faculty Of
the National Medical College. As member

The transaction stands thus Some years ago
Congress granted to the faculty the building for
medical and scientific purposes, till wanted by
Government. The then members of the faculty
incurred certain expenses to furnish the house,
chiefly for the reception Of private patients,
which expenses they credited to themselves as
stock.
Some professors resigned, and others were
elected in their place. Some of the newly
elected, saw fit to buy share of this so.called
stock; others did not Among these latter,

arrogated to themselves the entire management
Of the In6rmary. Only three-namely, Drs.

professors-are, as may be seen by reference to

or other money in less than three yeIrs after
the termination of the war. The princi-

W. II. HARDY

bSy~ Pres. Lincoln. it seems. threatens
to hang as pirates all the Southern pri-
vateersmen. caught. by the government
cruisers. The Richmond Wing throws
Vattle's Law Of Nations" at him, as fol-
lows
Vsttal in his Sd book distinctly recog-
nizes the belligerent rights ola people sit
uated as we are. He says
when a nation becomes divided into
two parties, absolutely independent, and
no longer acknowledging a common supe-
rior, the State is Dissolved, and the war
between the two parties stands upon the
same ground, in every respect, as a public
war between two nations. Whether q re-
public be split into factions, each main
tanning that il alone constitutes the body of
the State, or kingdom be divided be-
tween two competitors for a crown, the
nation is severed into parties who will
mutually term each other rebels. Thus
there exist in the State two seperate
bodies, who pretend to absolute indepen-
dence, and between whom there is no
Judge. They decide their quarrels by
arms as two different nations would do.
The obligation to observethe common laws
Of war towards each other is therefore
absolute, indispensably binding on both
parties, and the same which the law of ma
lions imposes on all nations in transactions
between State and State"
The Wing thinks this covers the case
exactly, and promises, that, if Lincoln
hangs southern privateers, up shall 60 all
the prisoners OF war captured by the
Southern army.
