LAW RRPORT.
HAMILTON COUNTY DISTRICT COURT.


DECISION IN THE STREET. RAILROAD CASE
The Cincinnati Street Railroad Company Us
The City of Cineinnati.-The application by
the plaintiffs for an Injunction 10 restrain
the city from interfering with their tracks
OF cars, was decided.
Judge Sutlilf delivered the opinion:
The Court remarked that there was moth.
ing peculiar in a street railroad company
from any corporation entitled to exercise a
franchise received rom the State. This
railroad was public work for the accom-
mediation of the public, and IL was the policy
of the law to favor it The company was in
the exercise Of its franchise under the statute
law OF Ohio, which provided that as to pri
vate property they should make compensa
tion for the use of it, and, as to public prop
erty--and the streets of the city must be
regarded such--the act of 1861 explicitly
gives to the city the power to determine the
manneH in which they shall be occupied and
the tel rs and conditions.
The Railroad Company, therefore, could
not occupy the streets, except by agreeing
with the city authorities. After making
certain stipulstions the company construct
ed their road, and put their cars in operation.
As to the right of the city to insist on per-
formance of all these conditions, namely,
the payment of $50 year on each car, the
bowldering Of the streets, and the per capita
tax, the Court did not deem it necessary to
express an opinion on this question in the
view they took of the case.
The company had given an undertaking
with security to perform the requirements,
and the pleadings intimate that the city had
proceeded 10 enforce the agreement in a suit
already pending. The material question was,
whether the company was legally in posses
sion of the streets. They went into posses.
sion under an agreement with the city, but
receiving their powers not from the city, but
| from the State. This view must dispose Of
the case. 1t was not competent for the city
to interrupt them by force of arms when car
ryiDg on their business.
The Court had concluded, therefore, to
make perpetual the injunction, and save the
rights of all parties under the contract.

FROM WESTERN VIRGINIA..
letter from the Fifth Ohio Regiment.
GAUIEY BRIDeE, October 10, 1861.

GAULEY BRIDeE, October IL, 1861.
To he Editors Of he Daily Press!
1t has been some time since | wrote you,
and we have seen much more Of this woe
begone country. Still, perhaps we are not
much the worse off after what we have gone
through, as none of us have been killed or
wounded by the rebels yet.
Yesterday we received a lot Of new cloth
ing, and the boys look fine now in their reg
ulation caps and overcoats. The nights are
teRinning to get quite cool, too, so that the
lattef article is not at all out of place.
We have just come from the vicinity of
Sewalps Mountain, and will start to. morrow
toward Summerville, to put up about twenty
miles of line, and then return to this place
on the way to join the army again.
A few days since, when coming this way,
we run out of material, and were obliged to
lay over one day, few miles below Hawks
Nest. In the morning the boys were out
bright and early scouting through the woods
and ravines, and during the forenoon party
came in with lot of blankets and house.
hold furniture, together with a lot of pre-
served fruit which was found secreted in a
Tavine, covered with brush and leaves
Shortly afterward second party came from
another direction, with q musket, holster
pistol, cavalry saber, and quite lot of am
munition these were on the mountain side,
covered with brush too. What this company
will not find is not worth looking for, nor Is
it the first time arms and ammunition, which
was thought to be out of the way of prying
eyes, has been brought to light.
Hawks Nest perhaps is worth passing
| notice, for here is small fortification which
| was bNilt by the rebel Wise, and is the most
complete thing have seen out here, among
the many we have passed. Hawks Nest is q
small elevation, about fifty yards from the
| road. side, covered with trees and brush, eX-
cept on the side fronting the road, where the
| bushes have been cut, trimmed and staked
| with points out all around the outside of the
bresstwork, rendering it an impossibility to
| get near enough to use the bayonet. One
thousand men could not drive one hundred
out OF it unless they used artillery. About
one hundred yards to the rear of this fortif.
cation is cliff overhsnging New River, q
| wild mountain stream. .
1t apparently overhRngs the stream, but
several of us tried hard to throw q stone into
it, and only two or three succeeded. 1t was
long distance down, the trees below looking
like brush. The scenery as viewed from
this point is indeed wild and grand, the
mou ntaips covered with green and an occa
sional cliff of gray rocks putting out the
points Of which would throw the Opera
house in the shade for size.
We were not fortunate enough to get any
| papers from you yet. Try us again at this
point. We all are sadly off for reading mat.
ter, and sometimes we are so eager to see
late paper from home that we would lose oul
dinner once to get to read one.

SICK SoLD1ERs-BeneVoIent Lddies.-Sev-
eral good ladies in the vicinity of st. Johns
Hospital are doing blessed work in minis
tering to the wants of the sick soldiers from
Western Virginia now quartered at that in
stitution. Suffering from fevers and other
diseases contracted from the exposure they
have undergone in that inhospitable region,
drenched with rain for weeks at time, and
many of them with insufficient clothing,
they need that care and attention which can
only be rendered by the tender hands of the
softer sex.
In this work Of benevolence they ably sec.
ond the labors of the Sisters who are in charge
Of the institution, and we have reason to say
that such assistance, when properly rendered,
is willingly and thankfully received. Many
of the soldiers are persous who have been
accustomed to the things that belong to a
comfortable home, and such little delicacies
as are tempting to the appetite often do much
to institute and facilitate recovery.

ACTION OF THE UNITED STATES CRCUIT
Court IN THE CASE OF GENERAL MITCHELL -
The refusal of General Mitchell TO obey the
writ OF h0beds corpus which was issued by
Judge Leavitt in the case of the alleged
Maysville Secessionists, did not entirely end
the affair. Hon. George E. Pugh, counsel
for the eight, with his usual sagacity, dis
covered a method by which the matter
might be kept in the Courts still longer.
This he carried into effect with partial sue
cess yesterday afternoon. Having first made
motion for writ of attachment against
General Mitchell, for contempt of Court, in
refusing to obey its order, he was at last pre-
vailed upon to modify it to q motion for a
rule against him to show cause why he
should not be adjudged guilty Of contempt.
Thomas G. Mitchell, Esq., counsel for the
General, opposed the motion, or the ground
that he acted under military law, aud not
civil, ard therefore should not be brought
into this Court; also, that important military
movements would be delayed if the rule
we're made. Mr.. Pugh and the Court did
not wish 20 embaYrass the military move
ments Of General Mitchell. Of course the
rule asked for could not have that tendency,
and it was accordingly made.
The officers were unable TO see General
Mitchell, and as he left for Kentucky this
morning, the case of the United States Cir
cult Court against him will necessarily be
postponed for some time, if not altogether
dropped. Thus ends one hGbeGs corpus case.

To He Editors of he Daily Press:
Owing to the inconvenience occasioned to
our citizens by the inability of the Stamp
Department to supply all of the country Of
fees with new stamps as rapidly as was at
first anticipated, and by the time being so
limited during which they could be recog-
nized at this office, we Immediately addressed
the Third Assistant Postmaster General in
regard to the matter, and have this day re-
ceived the following reply, which hasten to
lay before the public:
"PosT- OFFICE DEPARTMENT,
"FINANCE OFFICE, October IL, 1861.
"Sw:-In reply to your letter Of the 9th
inst, have to inform you that the period
fixed for the delivery of letters prepaid by
old stamps has already been extended by the

printed slip attached to the inelosed circular.
A copy of this slip has been sent to all Of
fees which have received new stamps.
81 am respectfully your oOedient die servant,
r "Third Asst. Postmaster General
The slip referred to is in the following
words:
1t being impossible to supply all offices
with new stamps at once, you will deliver
letters received from Kentucky, Missouri,
Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Maryland and Penn
sylvania, prepaid by stamps ofthe old issue,
until November Il those from other loyal

lst of December; and those from the States
of California and Oregon, and from the Ter.
ritories of New Mexico, Utah and Washing.

Therefore, in accordance with the above
instructions, which, for some inexplicable
reason, the department omitted to send tc
US until applied to by letter for authority tc
extend the time, letters with the old postage
stamps will be delivered hereafter, up to the
respective dates named, without extra
charge. Respectfully,
