From The Phiiddelphia Journal
Az an early hour this morning it became pnised
pout the city that the Philadelphia edition of the
| Ne" ioTk Neps noted and upccrnnrOmising
80 neSonaois sheet, would be seized by the police
+ unuer lne treason act of the 10th of April 1861
Accnruingly large conc1ursc of cifzan c,i1aot oil
at alnut street wharf to await the arrival of tho
tram from New York, which was due az II Is this
morning.
Upon the arrival of the boat United States Mar.
shal Millward stepped upon the pspg.nIank arJ
asked for the newspaper crate which was delivered
up to him without a refnonstauee. He then pro
ceeded assisted by Sergeant Loveare and posse of
the Reserve Corps of Police, TO examine each bun
ole OF papers in the crate. Some three thousand
copies OF This advocate OF treason seized By the
Marshal, By order of the Government, and taken to
the Marshals office.
We hope the citizens of New York will save US
the trouble 1T performing this agreeable duty every
morning. we can attend to it for a few weeks,
however. Some of the men OF this city who would
sell the GOVeinmont for a little Southern trade
were on the ground, with faces longer than Mar
shai MliIward's gOatce, and some of these uttared
quiet mutterings. One drab-coated gentleman had
the enrontery to exclaim, ooh ! what an outraoe
upon public opin;on!'
The next step will probably be towards two luke
warm peace papers, of a religious cast at present
puohshed IN this city. 1T is time for every man tn
show his colors
From TIC Pdil1de1ptia Inquirer
In eudttlon to the above seizure, Marshal Mill
ward examined all newsTaper bundles passinu ves
terday soathward through Adams Express. A
ounhle directed to A, Guntner, Louisville Kentuc-
Ky, contained eleven hundred and twenty-five CO.
pies OF the D"tty Fems. majority Of the bundles
were addressed to II. Taylor, Baltimore, but ON
pelhg opened were found to contain other packa.
ges' ma'ked for Washington Alexandria and differ
ent points in Maryland
AT about eleven o'clock yesterday morning Mar
snal aii!ward seized the Office and appurtenances
nt the christian Observer, formerly New School
hresoyterlan ihat paper, but recantly repudated by
that denomination account of its pro slavery
PFochVifleS. The editor is Rev. A. Converse A
native OF Vermont, but Of late Il citizen of Rich
mond, virginia. Its articles have recently heen
peculiarly v'ruent against the course of the Gov.
ernmeht.
The seizure OF the Daily Ne,sg and the visit Of
tne Ualted states Marshal 7" the Office of the Chris
Hon Observer, gave rise to much discussion through
out the city. We heard several rumors that the
Marshal intended to take charge of the Catholic
Her"ta and G''u0r also it having been represented
that that paper was Of secession proclivities.
On looking over the file of that Journal we were
unable to see anything which would Justify the |
suspicion that the editor favored the Confederate
cause. The paper is confined principally to the |
discussion OF religious subjects and is the organ of
Rt. Rev. Bishop Wood Politically it would an |
pear that the editor is opposed to the present Ad
mlnlstration and freely states that fact strenuous-
~ supporting Judge fancy in the late hnbcus coyus
case opposed to the Cabinet.
From the Philadelphia LedqerI
by direction OF the President of the United
states, District Attorney Coffee yesterday gave d
recto6s to the Marshal to seize all copies of the
New York Daily Ne'gs, New York Day Book,
New York journal Of Commerce. and the PhiadeI-
pbia Christian Observer. The seizure was author-
lzed under late act of Congress, authorizing
the President to stop all transportati0ns of aid or
"comtort" to those in rebellion. The Christian
Observer was first visited, and the types seiz,d.
