The RoMANrio IN MiLirARY LIFE. .--Captair
SWANS company Of United States troops from
Newport Barracks passed through the city
yesterday on their way to Washington.
The wife Of q corporal belonging TO the com
pany had insisted upon accompanying her hus
band, but her request was refused. Thereupon,
the husband threatened TO desert. Hearing Of
this threat, Capt. SWAIN telegraphed to this
point to have hand cuffs prepared on the arrival
OF the company. They were made ready &C
cordingly, and when the company arrived at
the depot, were placed upon the limbs Of the
refractory soldier, and the wife, who had, in
some way managed to come up with her hua.
band from Cincinnati, was summarily elected
from the cars. ~ Id
a AS the train which was to convey the compa.
ny onward, was about starting, at the earnest
entreaty of the corporal, and upon promises of
future fidelity, the shackles were removed. He
seated himself by an open window Of the car,
bis wife standing on the outside, to whom he
offered all the money he had. This she refused,
saying she intended to go on with him.
As the cars moved of, she made spring for
the window, and was caught by her husband,
who drew her, crinoline and all, through the
open window into the car. Away went the
train, and this is the last we have heard of the
twain. -.

WAsHfNeroN, Aug. 2l--General Blair, in re-
sponse to an inquiry on the sdbject, says he has
no power to int rdict nor suspend intercourse
between the loyal and rebel States by private
express or otherwise. This power rests with
the War and Treasury Departments alone, and
80 long as these departments forbear to exer-
else it, correspondence between the insurgents
Of the South and their friends and abettors in
the North, may be lawfully continued. His
power over the matter extends only to the pro-
lection of the revenues Of the department from
fraud, and the conveyance of this circuitous
correspondence over the post routes Of the Uni
ted States partly in the mail and partly by pr-
vate express is unlawful He concludes by say
ing-You have doubtless observed that the
President, in pursuance of an act of Congress,
passed at tn recent session, has, by his procla-
nation of the 10Th instant, declared that all the
commercial intercourse between the insurgent
States, is unlawful. IL ia presumed that in
structions will be issued by the Treasury De-
partment.
