Stealing q Trunk.

On Tuesday morning, an individual, who
called himself Thomas German, on being re.
leased from cell in the guardhouse, where he
had been conffed during the previous night
related to the guards n long and interesting g
story to the effect that, while lying on the "soit
plan!ts in his cell, he was visited BY angels,
who told him /" to be up and doing his duty
which was. to save the O untry from ruin and
desolaton." After the recital of his expo
rience, he was released, the guards at the time
advising him to be sure and hold consulate n
with the angels" rather than the spirits y
At night. however, he again made bis appear
ance near the guardhousc; this time much more
under the influence of the " bad spirits than
the " Al GELS" and with a large army trunk,
which he could give no satisfactory account of.
The officers came across him at one of the cook.
shops, and gathered him and his traps together,
which were all taken to the guardhouse, but
when yesterday morning arrived he had no ac.
count to give Of the trunk, which W IS identified
by Mr.. Fl. o. Hood, who stated 1t to have been
taken from the pavement In front Of his store.
Justice Walter committed him to Jail, Ito answer
at court,) where he will have n chance to often
commune with his favorite " angels"

Your account of the lag-rasing at the Gov

In some respects am certainly pleased with,
but in others, am not assured that 1t proves
the LOYALTY of these who have been instru
mental in adornng that building with two loyal
flags this morning. Some few weeks since, an
endeavor was made to replenish the then dilap
dated emblems Of our favored country flying
over that building, but 1t WAS received with n
coldness which almost froze the fragments
remaining on the flagstaff Since that time,
an investigation has been had into the loyalty
of persons attached to that branch of the public
service, before the investigating committee
now assembled at the Capitol, which went far
TO show that considerable portion were
strongly tainted, and that others were avowedly
inimical to the Government of the United
States, and behold, the result IL, that t,cO flags
now wave, where no sign of patriotism existed.
The gentleman who addressed the audience
on the occasion Is a warm, gOod'natured poll
tician of the Baltimore Sun stripe, ISL Virginian
by birth, and was certainly out of place In his
position. He assuredly did not understand his
position in respect to the author ol the Star.

the favor Of those who are now uphodng the

the opinion that greater proportion OF fear

Target Firing.

The battalion of marines stationed at the
barracks, went out, yesterday, to the vicinity
Of the poor house, where some time was spent
in target firing. The well.riddlcd targets which
were brought in, evinced that as crack marks
men, the corps are in no ways deficient: The
targets were of canvass, and about eight feet
in length and four in breadth, with figure of
"A man In the centre of each. They were placed
at u distance Of i've hundred yards, and out Of
the three hundred rounds fired, one hundred
and twenty four struck the figure, and nearly
all the others struck the target. Considering
the long distance, and that many of the mon are
new recruits, we should say that the marines,
with little more practice, will be entitled 10
the appellation of sharpshooters.

The "Contempt" Csse-Important Dcci-

Brigadier General Graham appeared before
Judge Merrick, Of the Circuit Court ut noon
yesterday, in obedience to the ruling that lie
should appear and answer the charge of con-
tempt Of court, in OBTAINING the minor, Jere.
miah Lyons, in the camp Of the twenty.third
Pennsylvania regiment, whose discharge had
been ordered by the court after hearing on a
writ of habeas corpus. District At orney Car.
rngton and Lieut.. Col. Cross, Of the Long
Island regiment, appeared in behalf of the do.
fendant.
The District Attorney first read an afridavt
Of Gen. Graham, setting forth, substantially,
tended the court in the course he had taken,
but that he had simply obeyed the order of his
military superiors, rs stated In " General Order
No. 49," ofSeptember 7, 1861, which prohibits
the discharge of minors.
The court suggested that this "Order" lie
made part of tho answer, which was done.
Lieut.. Col. Cross then addressed the court In
defence of Gen. Graham, arguing to show that
the notice to-appear before this court on the
present occasion, and answer, was the FIRST
which had been sem to him, and was promptly
obeyed; that courts of the United States have
no jurisdiction in cases OF this kind--it being
purely u military matter, to be determined by
military authority; that no jurisdiction had
ever been conferred upon any court In mat
ter of this kind; and such being the case, 1t can
not issue II writ TO assist its jurisdiction; that
there was no involuntary service rendered by
the minor, Jeremiah Lyons; that an inferior
OHlCeT mus tUey tudt Dolu eouo'
raj and special orders must be obeyed; that
he could not have done other than he did with.
out being in danger of being cashiered; and
that consequently Gen. Graham was not the
person to have been brought before this court,
but rather Adjutant General Thomas, who Is.
sued the General Order" under which he
had acted.
District Attorney Darlington followed, re.
viewing the case ably and eloquently, and con.
cluded by asking the discharge of General
Graham.
Judge Merrick, in giving his decision In the
case, spoke at considerable length, and quoted
numerous authorities, 10 show that, at all times,
and particularly in times of war, the civil
power should be preserved and made superior
TO the military. In the course Of his remarks,
he referred to a case which happened In Phil
adeipha on Saturday last, where colonel was
marching his regiment along the street, and
was obliged to stop his regiment in the street,
and 60 into the courthouse to answer to a
charge Of OBTAINING minor In the ranks
against the will of his parents. In that case,
the court vindicated its authority, and the
minor was discharged from the regiment. He
then remarG ed that. whilst II was due to the
dignity of the court that this process should he
enforced, it was also proper that no unneceF.
sary severity should be exercised to accom-.
plish that result. He then stated the decision
of the court to be, that, unless jeremiah Lyon
Is produced in court TO day, (rhursdayO at
noon, an attachmentsfOr contempt of court
would be issued against Gen. Graham.
