CITY NI'ELLIGETCE.

I u
The camp at the Relay yesterday visited b,
about tive hundred persons from the city, but they
were hardly repaid Tor their visit, as matters wer
rather dull. From gentleman who came into tht
city on the late Washington train we learned tha
/ all OF the troops at the encampment were acc III
tired with knapsack, blanket, &C., and there az
pcared to be active preparations making for SON,
movement. This, Ot course, could not be under
stood, but later events OF the day fully explained
i it. About eight o'cnck last nj ight our citizens
were somewhat startled by the intelligenca thai
the troops that had been quartpred at the Relay
House had arrived in this city. Their arrival wa'
known to but few persons, and Consequently there
was Cny small crowd at the depot to watch their
movements. Upon disembarkng the line was i'm
mediateiy formed, and marched out Lee street
| from the depot, to Hanover, to Montgomery, to
William, to Gross, to johnson, to Federal HilI
where they encsmped for the night. About the
time OF the encanpmrnt very heavy shower ui
rain fill. General Batter took as his headquarters,
Shillinger's Federal Hill House. The troops took
possession of old frame house on Hamburg
street, and public school room No. 10, Armstrong
Hall, corner OF Light aud Montgomery streets, and
new w atchman Engine House. Mon gomerv, near
William street About 200 of the troops were sta
toned at the National Hotc1, which has been a
rendezvous for United States recruits for the past
week. During the march of the troops pistol
was fired in the air by some one, but the police
were unable to discover who did it. The whole
body numbered ! ,575, and embraced the New York
Eighth Regiment, Massachusetts Sixth and Boston
Light Artillery. They were relieved at the Relay
House by four companies of the Massachusetts
Eighth Regiment. They brought with them bat.
terry of six guns, which will, no doubt be placed in
position in a short time.
THE HABEAs CoRPus CAsE.-The case of John G.
Mullen, who enlisted in the United States army
whilst a minor and without the consrnt of his
parents, came up for disposition in the United
States District Court, before Judge Giles, yester-
day morning. John Williamson, ESD, appeared
for the petitioner. George Mullen, father of
the petitioner, aud his daughter Eliz lbeth were
sworn and testified that the petitioner enlisted
without their knowledge or consent and under
twenty-one years of age. The next witness ex-
amlned was DR.. w. s. Jervis, of the United States
army, who stated that he had been appointed by
the commandant of Fort MclIenry to examine all
applicants for enlistment in the army. He ex-
amlned the petitioner, and was informed BY him
that he was over twenty-one years of age, and
anxious 10 join the army. Mr.. Wolfe, of the Bal
timore bar, translated the certificate of baptism
and stated that it declared that the petitioner was
borL on the 2Gih of March, lS4l. Judge Giles
said Aat he would have to order the discharge OF
the petitioner from the army. He regretted that
Major Morris, commandant of Fort MciIenrv, had
been laboriDg under an impression to the conGi-
tiOn of the city which was not warranted BIZ the
facts of the case but the Court was gratihed with
the promptitude with which that gentleman had
appeared in a representation. The Court con-
demned the false miSrep esent tatons of the petit
toner as to his age, thereby putting the Govern
ment to the expense OF providing for him. 1t was
ordered that the petitioner his father pay the
costs in his case.
