TIE MsRRInAN HABEAs CORPUS CAsE-The
action Of Chief Justice fancy In this case Is pro-
badly in accordance with the strict letter of the
law, in view Of the fact that martial law has not
been formally declared in Baltimore and the
section Of Maryland surrounding that city New
eftheless, il exhibits determi nation on his part
PalPably to ignore the existing stats Of the coun-
try, which signally justified the action of General
Cadwallader with reference TO Veterinarian in
dividual whose conduct has proved him to be
eminently dangerous to the cause Of the ma nten-
ance of the Union, under the circumstances by
which that cause is now surrounded in that Sec
tion Of Maryland. il is to be sincerely regretted
that Mr.. Justice fancy has refused to take into
consideration the revolutionary state Of the coun-
try. Gen. Jackson's proclamation Of martial law
at New Orleans, 1t will be rememb ered, was JUS
Unable only for the preservation of the Constitu-
ton, then endangered by British arms. as the
Constitution and, Union now endangered by
the hostile array In which the oligarchy stand to
them. ard the scarcely less dangerous attitude to-
wards them, held by snch secret aiders and
aoeitors Of their cause as this same Mr. Merriman.
Under these circumstances, there can be no doubt
that public opinion will justify the refusal of
Gen. Cadwal!ader, In times like these to deny to
man VIGOROUSLY striving to overthrow the Con-
s1tutioD, Orion and Government of the United
states, tie advantage of the writ OF habeas corpus

THE NEWS HERE.

A MIsrAKE Commemorative clip the follow
Ing paragraph from the Washington correspon-
dence Of the New York Ersning Post:
at IL q curious fact that the Confederate troops
at CulPePPer are entrenched upon the plantation
Of Mr.. Wallach, the editor and proprietor Of the
Ersnirg Star, Of this city. MIR. Wallach has
from the start stood firmly by the United States
Government, and Of late entirely at the risk Of
his Culpepper estate. He, Of course, has not put
himself within the power Of the rebels of Wiz
ginia but his wife has carried on the business Of
the plantation, seeing TO the negroes and the
planting alone. When our troops get as far down
ss this place SIR. Wallach can get a peep at his
plantation, and not well before. In case any at
tempt should be made to confiscate his property
because he remains true to his Government: IL Is
proposed here by Pennsylvania men to give him
enough of Senator Mason's Philadelphia estate
TO strike an even balance. Virginia Will hardly
commit such an outrage upon one Of her land
holders"
The POSTS correspondent has been misinformed
relative to the occupation of any portion of the
estate Of the family Of the editor o. the Star, as
place Of encampment by disunIon troops. Not
long since there existed disposition so to occupy
one OF the fields conveniently situated to that end
but the disunion commander, on learning that
the farm was occupied by and the property Of a
lady and children, at once gave over that inten-
ton II affords pleasure to be able to say that
neither the premises nor property in question
have been in any manner molested by the dig
unionists on account Of the hrmness with which
the editor Of the Star has discharged his duty as
q citizen Of the United States. On the contrary
every consideration conceivable has been accorded
to his defenseless wife and children (all Of whom
are females) by their neighbors, though all OF the
latter now profess sympathy with the disunon
cause. They have thus earned his deep gratitude
and shall be repaid with interest for their char
acteristic kindness, IL he may ever have the
power SO to do 81 far, the property of the family
of the editor OF the Star in Culpeper has been
respected BY the disunioaists, precisely that OF
the family OF Senator Mason in Pennsylvania has
been respected by the authorities and people OF
that State; or that of the family of General Rober
j. Lee, in Alexandria county, has been respected
by the troops Of the United States now holding
the territory Immediately surrounding It, Or
again, the property of " Washing ton;ans now abso
tutely In arms in disuaion camps, whose wives
and families are nov here. To none of those has
damage been done TO tee extent Of sxpence TIL.
Is as II should be; as this is war; we trust, on
private personal or property rights.

WARRINGTON, May 2s information has been
received here that over two thousand Ohio troops
from Camp Dennison yesterday took possession
Of the Northwestern Railroad, which runs from
Parkersburg TO Grafton, for distance Of eighty
miles. and proceeded in the latter direction A
large number Of troops also crossed the Ohio ut
Bellair three miles from Wheeling for the same
destination. This 10 indicative Of events at Har-
per's Ferry.
As there seems to be some sensit!veness in
business circles about the recent seizure of tele-
graphic dispatches in all the principal Northern
towns and cities, and general apprehension
that private business Transactions may be exposed
Ii may not be improper to assure the public that
there Is no danger Of any such expose
The War Department has instituted a Commits
sion, composed Of hig hly responsible gentlemen,
whose business 1t 10 made to examine all the dis
patches, under strict injunctions TO secrecy, and
after having selected those of REASONABLE charac
ter, TO reseal and return those relating to mere
business transactions.
All the dispatches seized at the various tele-
graph Offices will be brought on to Washington
and be thus examined. The business Of this com
mission assumes somewhat that of the dead letter
office In the Post Office Department, and will be
conducted with the same secrecy and rigid re-
gard to private rights and interests.

A FORWARD MovEMENI.-General Butler has
thrown force Of 2 $50 1nen upon Newport News
point eight miles from Fortress Monroe com-
handing the entrance into James river. This
force went there In transports, under convoy Of
the Harriet Lane. The battery on Sewall's Point
sssayed fire upon the transports by the way, but
at too great distance to do them any damage
whatever. General Butler already has his bat
teries commanding the mouth Of the river, on the
other side OF which party of di,unionists are
evidently posted, though not sufficiently near to
the position occupied by the United States troops
to enable the latter to ascertain their force or their
armament Thirteen hundred (of the twenty
i've hundred men) Thus posted By General Butler
compose New York regiment just arrived off
Fortress Monroe, which did not land there, but
were immediately sent 70 Newport News, as ex-
Fortress Monroe was 500; thus making the total
number under General Buffers command on the
afternoon Of the ~ before yesterday 900, rank
and fle. Heavy reinforcements were daily ar
irving and expected The place or point called
Newport News IS otherwise known as Casweirs
Point. Ii was not storned in the work Of estab-
Esbing the troops Of the United States upon It,
AZ some Of the journals say, but was taken posses
sion OF without any show of resistance whatever

FROM MANASSAS JUNCTION We learn that the
secession force there has thrown up an earth.work
perhaps two hundred feet square, right at the
junction, and commanding the track for perhaps
mile. The secession forces there are md er
command Of Gen. Bonham, Of South Carolina.
Col. Magruder was there in command Of hat
terry.
IL was believed that Col Kershaws South Car.
ollna Regiment had moved up the road to Center
vile, Fairfax county, to strengthen the position
there, in view of the probability that the Federal
troops would strike past that point to cut of CON-
munication with Harper's Ferry.

while mans harder texture in body and mind

Thus each finds in the other what each ono

mans manly courage grows siouter, aud at

Out oil this very difference springs the
