AN OLD LANDMARK g2IoLfsHED.-Everything
has to give way to the march Of time. Kingdoms
and empires finally fall into decay, get rotten at
their foundations, and tumble down; sometimes
overwhelming hundreds and thousands Of men,
and at others kicking up only dust and making
little harmless noise. / We were brought to these
reflections upon learning that the ball room, in the
old Dutch beer garden on the corner OF Miro street
and the Old Canal, had fallen to the ground at an
early hour yesterday. Sic transit gloria mu'1di.
And so ends this old place of general resort. So
ends the great center OF attraction, score OF
years ago, for all the youth of the city on Sundays
Il was on that floor, which now is crushed ana
broken, that whole generation of youth took
their first lessons in the mysteries of the polka
How many "reminiscences of our youth are con-
nected with that old place? Twas there we first
drank lager bier and eat pretzels. Twas there
we first fixed the identity of Switzer kase. But
food of the memories of our youth rushes upon us,
and our utterance is stopped. The old place is
now no more, and therefore the least said about it
the better. Reqa.esoat in pace.
TIE HABEAs CoRPUs CAsE-Before the Sikh
District Cou1t-This case was continued yesterday
morning, and the answer of Gov. Moore and Gen.
Twiggs was received. The Governor denied hav-
ing the prisoners, Capt. Walker, Nicholas Caspin

military authority Of the Confederate States of
America upon the charge of being spies and enc
mics Of the public
Gen. TWiggs states that these men were placed
in the custody of Sheriff Parker by his authority
and direction, and that he holds them under mill
tary jurisdiction, as they are spies and public enc.
| mics in virtue of powers granted him by the Con
stitution and laws of the land
The jurisdiction CT the Court was demurred to
| under Gen. TYiggs' answer, and after argument by
Messrs. Cotton andBright, attorneys for the pris
oners, the case was indefinitely continued, to give
time for full examination of the question. It is
reported that the prisoners are soon be tried by
court martial.
