speck of trouble has arisen lately for the
G0vernmentin quarter where it was least to be
expected. There is a possibility Of a contest in
Vermont, between the Government and the Fed
eral Judge of that district. 1t seems that some
persons had been arrested by the United States
Marshal for discouraging enlistments. and were
put in Jail in Burlington. A writ of habeas
pus was issued by Judge Smalley in behalf of one
of the men The marshal reported the facts 10
Washington, received the following dispatch from
Judge Advocate Turner
"Pay no attention to the habeGs corpus for the
liberation of Lyman, Barney, and Field. and, il
any attempt be made TO liberate them from custo-
DIV, resist it TO the utmost. and report the names
of all who attempt it."
On the return of the writ on the LIST inst, the
marshal returned that he had arrested the man
under the order of the Secretary Of War Of Au-
gust :, directing the arrest of all persons dis
couraging enlistments and that their cases be re-
ported for trial before military commission, and
that the man was held under another order
pending the habeas corpus in such cases, and the
order above set forth.
The suggestion was made that the proceedings
should lie over until the authorities at Washing
ton could be further heard from, but the prison
er's counsel opposed it, and the Judge decided
that the return was insufficient, inasmuch the
Secretary of War could not suspend the writ.
He accordingly ordered the Marshal to produce
tDe man within TOUR nOurs, OF ne WOuiu make an
order that the Marshal show cause, at the next
term of the Circuit Court, why he should not be
punished for contempt Of Court The Marshal,
choosing to obey the order received from Wash
ington. did not produce the man, whereupon the
order TO show cause was made
The next term of the Court is not held until
October, and many changes may take place be-
tween now and then. 1t remains 20 be seen
whether the Government or the Judge will yield.
Col. GRAHAM n FITcH-This able and dis
tinguished Federal officer is sojournlng in our
city, on his way 20 his home. He has been dis
abled by the fall Of his horse. and rendered
thereby unfit for the fatiguing and more active
operations of the army. he has, we learn. ten
dered his resignation 10 the Secretary OF War.
We trust il may not be received, and the services
of so brave and gallant soldier. and so wise
and practical a statesman, be lost thereby 70 the
country. He unites in bis person the highest
qualities of commander and the greatest sa-
gacity of the legislator with the loftiest and
most elevated patriotism Monphis Bal. 6th.

NEW JERSEY

The Democratic State Convention Of New
Jersey met at Trenton on the 4th inst. Jacob
r. Wortendyke presided. Joel Parker was NOM
mated for Governor on the 4th ballot, his princi-
pal opponent being Moses Bigelow. The follow

again assembled in conventiont to exercise the right
of freemen, to nominate candidate for the high
est Office in the gift of the people; and,

Resolred. l, That, deploring the demoraizing
tendency Of the higher law teachings of the Re-
publican party, we feel impelled to reiterate our
faith in the doctrine that constitutional law is the
only true basis of Executive action in peace or
war.

We have trayersed the entire circuit OF the

tion was coerced by the radicals, and are brought
back to the point where we we're when their
clamor against Gen. Mcclellan first set in.
Events have demonstrated that the interference
with his plans has been gigantic and mcst cost

ventured on, the war has been one OF the blood

The Policy of the North.

View this question in what light
we may, it would be exceedingly diff
ticult 10 arrive at any correct conclu-
sion. There are so many diversities
Of opinion On this subject, that we
venture tbs assertion that no two
persons could be found who enter
tanned the same IDEAS about the mat
ter.
From the commencement Of this
war to the present time, the pro-
sramnle OF the North has been so in
trically varied that our wisest heads
have been puzzled. We can scarce
ly believe that the North now, in
tends making any great demonstra-
ton in the feld. They have been
taught by experience, tia: they mis-
calculated their undertaking, for this
we desire no better evidence than
their own Acknowledgements and the
cAElD it or the StHte OF their finances.
which makes them look aghast at
the probable result, and great schemers
as they profess to be they stand non
plussed.
We think it probable that the
North vii. now endeavor to try our
resources by proIorginS the war, UNI
der the impression that we can be
starved out, as they argued sometime
past. In this, however, they will
succeed as they have in all their futile
attempts, for the policy OF our gov
eminent is also different now from
what it was heretofore.

COOP News FROM ARKANSAS

COOP News FROM ARKANSAS
The guerillas are doing good service
in Arkansas. The Memphis (Ian-
kee) Bulletin, of the 9TH, gives a
lengthy account Of the rebel guerril-
las work among the Federals. On
the 4th, two regiments Of Federal
troops were escerting some two or
three hundred negroes, or perhaps
more, and about sixty wagons, CON
tanning provisions and material, to-
ward some locality where it was
intended to establish post. Near
L'Anguillo bridge, beyond Madison,
on the st. Francis river, the party
was attacked by an overwhelming
force, which rushed upon them from
various points. Little or no resist
ance appears to have been possible,
and after firing one volley the Fed
erals and negroes We're Dispersed
some Of them being taken prisoners.
The Federals put their loss in killed
a. seven, and thirty wounded. ~
wagons with stores We're captured
Another party Of Yankees, escorting
twenty wagons of provisions and
camp equipage, were very suddenly
pounced upon by our men the same
day. The wagons were taken and
seventeen Yankees killed. A party
of ninety Federals were surprised
near Helena about the same time.
and all killed wounded or captured

szon of the story, and we have no
doubt if the truth was known their
loss would be much greater than
that reported. Arkansas is begin

sac will soon rid herself Of every

MISCELLANEOUS NEWS.

MISCELLANEOUS NEWS.
Our dates from Hayti are to the 18th Of May.
The threatening instruction that broke out at
Aux Cages in the interest of the ex-Minister Sa'
lomon has been entirely crushed, and almost all
the prominent rebels have been secured. They
will be tried for high treason, and it is generally
said that the whole party, to the number OF about
fifty, will be executed. The promptness with
which the government acted deserves much COM
mendation. Other parties besides those who
openly took up arms in the south are known to be
implicated; but no steps will be taken against
them, and, even as it is, the Executive regrets
having secured so many prisoners. Several of the
insurgents are among the most respectable people
of the island, and great efforts will be made to
procure their pardon. With the thorough sup
preston Of the shortlived, but really 70 rmidable
rebellion, there remains no news of any political
Importance. The markets for both American pro-
visions and English dry goods are dull and heavy,
and will become worse as the season advances.
