DESERVED CoMPLIMENT.-The following
well-merited compliment to Adams & Go. 8
Express is from the Washington EUening
Star:
"It is difficult, indeed, to express in becom-
ing terms the obligation under which the
Government rests to that so popular Ameri-
can institution known as Adams & Co.'s Ex.
press, without which the cost of the war
would be materially increased, and more or
less OF the military operations would be in
conveniently if not dangerously embar-
rassed. We often hear officers in high posi
ton speak thus of its importance as an ad-
Junct of the army Just now. Its system and
the extent of its business facilities render it
Of so great public importance.
ITO the soldier individually it is also inval-
liable. No other banking arrangements
could possibly embrace such perfect and
important facilities for enabling the soldier
to share his earnings instantly with his dis
tant family, or to place the surplus of his
pay and allowances just where and in whose
hands he desires to deposit them. Wherever
regiment is to be paid off there conf
dental agent of Adams & Co.'s Express is to
be found. standing ready to receipt for any
moneys the officer or soldier desires to remit
anywhere, his receipts being as good secur-
ity for the due execution of his trust as that
of the conductor of the Bank of England
would be for its obligation to make a similar
remittance"

the matter of w. H. Weist alleged to be ille-
gally. detained at Camp Dennison, in Colonel

Paddock.
The minor and his father were present.
no representative appeared on behalf of the
Colonel Of the regiment, and the Court re-
marked that as they had not been furnished
with copy Of the order referred TO on the
previous day, as emanating from the War
Department. the case would have to be dis
posed of without reference TO il. The only
thing known of such an order was news
paper reports, and the Court knew nothing
OF its terms, whether il was intended TO
supersede the army regulations on the sub.
ject of enlistment, or to supersede the writ of
hdbeds corpus itself if the latter he had only
to say that the people, being entitled to the
benefit OF this writ, the Court was bound to
enforce it until the power authorized 20 in
terfere with it should have exercised its au-
thority. 1t had been clearly shown that the
volunteer in relation to whom this writ had
been Issued was under the age of twenty-one
years, and the Court must, therefore, dis
