NOTABLE SUEING OPERArIoN-Thirty-
one citizens of Worcester, including the mayor,
city MARSHAL and assistant marshals, most of
the constabes and city watchmen, and numer
GUS other persons, were yesterday summoned
to appear before the superior court in Boston,
on the second Tuesday in July next, to an.
swer in an action of tort, by one James l..
Leavens, claiming to own certain liquors seiz-
ed on Mechanic street, in this city, a short
time since, by the police, which liquors,
it was alleged, belonged to Joseph S.
Hill or James L. Leavens. The pros
ecutor in this case has set bis claim
for damages at $4,000, which if assessed
equally on the defendants, would exact from
each OF them nearly S4O0 This alleged
ofense consists of their action or alleged COM
plicity in the seizure of said liquors, at the
titGe and place mentioned 1t is thought they
will not leave town to avoid the consequences
OF the action. The prosecutor is likely to
become better acquainted with them and i'm
prove his knowledge in some other respects
before the case is ended.

This being the great topic of the day, and almost
every individual having friends or relatives now en-
gagged in fighting for the integrity of the Union
Naturally feel interested in witnessing n work oi
this kind and as it is really deserving of the larqe
patronage which it appears to enjoy, our citizens
certainly will not be behind hand in giving it their
cordial support The price of admission enables all
TO see it, and they will then be enabled to form
correct opinion of the different localities of orr
troops and the various engagements by sea and land
in which they have so largely figured.
In addition to the excellent scenery, several snir-
tied songs are introduced by Mr.. George Henry
Russell. This feature, combined with accurate and
straightforward descriptions of the different views
by the same gentleman, renders this entertainment
highly instructive and amusing to all classes
We believe that it is the intention of the proprie

afternoons, for the benefit of the pupils of the vari

Judge their judgement and impose upon them
our own? And think that the people have
rightly reserved 10 themselves that pover.
for the mere fact of legal domiciliation in a
gwen instance does not always render one
more tamil ar with the district in W bicb Ills
domcie is cast than with others. For exam,
pie, can not think that Daniel Webster was
more familiar with the Plymouth district and
It's people, merely for the fact of his legal
domlclie IN Marshfield where he spent few
weeks OF the year, than he was with the people
and interests of The Boston district, where he
had resided tor years, and W here were the seat
and center OF his political, social and business
lie. Nor can L think that the iransference of
the town of Quincy from one district to an.
other rendered John Quincy Adams any more
OF less ntted TO represent either the one or the
other OF them. Nor would it surprise me if
the people of one of the new Boston districts
should think a gentleman not unworthy to
represent them whose business pursuits whose
chlldrens school, whose church. whose family
and social ties and interests are all within its
borders. but who may customarily sleep and
vote in some ward not included within the
territory of such district. The necessary di-
vision of the city of Boston between two dis
tr'ctS affords a perfect test of the unsoundness
OF making an iron rule in the premises, and of
the wisdom of the people in reserYing the
right to Judge in the matter for themselves.
Il have sought anxiously for some excuse
which would justify me to myself in signing
this bill. | have reflected that, after all, the
provision of the clause in question would be
only nullity; that any person elected to
congress, and having the constitutional quail
fcations under this bill, ould surely receive
and retain his seat. But he would get it only
by unseating another to whom the governor
for the time being would have given the GER
tihcate, unless such governor should undertake
opass upon the cOnstitutionality of the clause,
and decide TO render the certificate to the can
ddate who had received the lager number of
votes, disregarding the question of demicile,
except in so far as it is prescribed by the con-
stitution of the United States. And can not
believe that l have any right to be instru
mental in compelling the people to exercise
their constitutional rights at the risk of a
struggle for his seat, by the representative
of their choice,-nor that ] ought to cast
upon the future magistrate a,burden which
the constitution in the clearest terms imposes
upon myself"
In the house, a bill in regard to the changing
of school books in the public schools was re-
fused a third reading, and Mr.. JEWEL of
Boston moved a reconsideration.

that underlying an apparent acquiescence
of the people OF the town and neighborhoOd
in permitting the building of gunboats and
the construction of batteries to repel the
approach OF the federal forces, was a deep
rooted affection for the old Union and not a
little luminosity for its enemies the latter
element not being diminished by the i'm.
portation of troops from distant state.
The result of this state of affairs was as
could be anticipated, the abandonment of
its defenses by the troops, followed by the
destruction of what remained of confederate
property by the people. The launched gun.

THE WAR NEWS.

We have news Of an important battle and
victory at Pittsburg Landing in Tennessee.
This place is on the Tennessee river below
Savannah, in the direction of Corinth. 1t ap-
pears that the rebels came in overwhelming
numbers and attacked portion of our troops
that were stationed there. They seem to have
felt sure of victory over this inferior force,
but, after hard fight, they were repulsed with
heavy loss. The details are not given, but it
is stated that at last accounts Gen. Grant was
pursuing the rebels, and we may next hear
that he has attacked and beaten them at Cor
inth, The battle at Pittsburg Landing ap.
pears to have drawn in it nearly the whole of
the two armies. 1t is said to have been the
most desperate and bloody battle ever fought
on the continent. Beauregard came out after
victory, and went back terribly beaten.
Island Number Ten has surrendered A
part of the rebel troops fed, but Gen. Pope
has taken six thousand of them, and captured
an immense amount OF cannon, small arms,
and other property. The country owes a
large debt of gratitude to Commodore Foote
and Gen. Pope, and to their officers and men,
for the energy, skill, and stubborn persever-
ance that have been shown by them in the
attack on this stronghold of the reb.
els Tie gunboats will encounter no fur
ther opposition on the Mississippi until
they reach Randolph, where, it is said,
there are strong Notifications. But, with the
rebels beaten at Cornth, there cannot be much
difficulty with them, either at Randolph or
Memphis. Below Memphis, not much can be
done to obstruct the progress of the fleet,
which can easily pass down to New Orleans
Batteries may be planted at Natchez and
Vcksburg, and perhaps at some other point
but there is no place where a stand can be
made against force that has taken Columbus,
Island No. 10, and Randolph.
There is nothing additional from Yorktown,
save some particulars oil the fighting of which
an account has already been given. General
Mcclellan is completing his preparations to
take the place, and will soon reduce it. We
think he will be in Richmond by the twentieth
OF April 1t is reported from fort Monroe that

in complete triumph of the Union men, con.

Union men have about three fourths of the
