r The resolution, introduced by Mr.. Ed
munds, in the Senate, raising q committee to in
quire into Marshal Baldwin's arrest of persons
for dJstoyai practices, will doubtless lead to de-
bate bcfore il is passed, Messis. Kirkland and
Stoughton manifested & purpose to consider
the subject, at least, before acting upon it. 1t
is possible that the case, named by MIR. Ed
munds, is one of considerable hardship, but the
right Of the Government to arrest persons, as
Marshal Baldwin has done, cannot be affected
by aEy such consideration. And we can hard
ly sec what good purpose would be answered by
an investigation now, especially since Judge
Smalley has practically decided that the recent
act of the President, proclaiming marital law,
and suspending the writ of ho5eeS corpus, is
legal and constitutional
MIR. Ednunds' resolution is legitip,a,ely the
initiative of very grave inquiry, which might
lead to collision between the State and the
Nationsl authorities, and the Legislature should
move with cautious dellberaton in taking steps
that may lead to such serious consequences.
The Senate did just right in LAYING the subject
upon the table to give time for consideration.

At the present writing there seems to be
much feeling on the subject in our place.
and we anticipate yet generous flood Of
patriotism that will sweep great mass
of our best men into the ranks, as il has
done elsewhere. There is no Disgusting
the fact that independence is far behind
her sister towns. On Saturday last,
over 100 men enlisted in Vnton, most of
them belonging to the village. and in,

said. will laise some seven companies un-

Terrible Accident.

EF On Sunday last, a terrible acct
dent happened to the child of Mr.. JOHN
CASEY, an Irishman, living near the de-
pot. Several children were amusing
themselves by pushing an empty freight
car back and forth upon the track, and
one of the larger ones, in spirit Of
thong htlessness, induced CAsEY's son, a
little fellow of probably 5 or years of
age, TO put his arm on the track He
did so, and the car passed over the arm,
mangling it most horribly, and probably
making amputation necessary. Drs.
WARNE and House have the case in
charge.

Fight.


Ey A fight occurred on Sunday last,
at the Depot, as an incident to tho acct
dent mentioned elsewhere CASEY, who
was drunk, and when drunk is perfect
mailman. attacked an mother man named
MAHoNy, whom he somehow connected
with the misfortune to his child. They
fought, we hear, until they were both
bloody, and CASEY badly beaten, when
the latter was carried into his house, and
his poor wife had not only mangled
child, but drunken and bleeding hus
band, to attend. In the melee, we hear,
MAHoNY discharged gun at CASEY, but
without doing any damage. They were
both arrested, and taken to Jail.

GT-We have received, from Mr.. REY-
NoLDs. OF Lillleton, a couple Of stalks Of
japanese Wheat. an article but year or
awoSago introduced into this country. II
looks something like the common reed

leaf. and the leaves come out from every
joint, The heads are from seven to ten
inches long. and bear an almost fabulous
amount OF seed. The seed 10 about The
size OF the Hungarian Grass seed, and
probably each head will yield some s, 900
or 5000 grains. II is therefore appar
ent that it is wonderfully prolific. The
stalks are between four and FIVE feet high,
and about half an inch through. AS a
held crop it will yield from two to three
hundred bushels per acre, and of fodder
about or 9 tons. The seed is said 10
be excellent for cattle. and they eat The
stalk and leaf with the greatest ayility.
IN The sheaf, it is thought to be much
better than oats. Mr. REYNOLDS will.
for couple OF shillings. sell sufficient of
the seed to produce. in Two seasons, 200
