A STRANGE CASE OF POLICE DE.
TETTEOS.

n ia not difficult matter for the per.
sons whose business it is officially to ob-
serve tho sctisG, OF Secession spies and Sc
cessionsts in general, to overstep in their zoal
for tho public seryice the line which lies be.
tween duty and excess of caution. We publish
in another column a correspondence between
Mr.. Samuel Barlow and Mr.. Simeon Draper,
the Provost Marshal General, by which it would
appear on tue face that Mr Superintendent
Kennedy of the Police has fallen into this eX.
cess in his espionage, apprehension, and deten'
ton o, a lady from New-Orleans, Mrs. Brlni'
dale. who came bither two months slnce
from New Orleans, with pass from Gen. But
ler to visit her uncles, one OF whom resides AZ
Washington, the other at Troy. IL seems
from this statement made by NT. Barlow, her
counsel. that Mr.. Kennedy was her only ac'
cuser: that on her arrest be saic to her friends
that she would be immediately sent bacA 70
Newt Orleans; that thereafter she was detained
in the Forty.6fh Street Staton-House for more
than p month; that at the end Of that time
her friends, being apprised Of such continued
detention. sought Mr.. Kennedy, who said that
her whole conduct on board ship iodlcaied she
was spy, and ought to be hung, aud SO ioS.a.
Mr.. Brnsdale was finally relieved by tae ac'
ton of Mr. Draper, who, On the 18th
ut., was first informed Of her case.
and that day wrote to Washington
directing inquiry to bs made OF tho
Judge Advocate General. who Immediately re-
Piled that lie knew nothing OF the matter.
Mr. Draper then asked Mr. Kennedy by what
authority le held Mrs. Brinsdale as prisoner,
ond was told that she was arrested by order
Of Col. Baker, the oyost-Geueral OF Washing
ton; and Gel. Deker, upon being telesraphed,
a. well az the Assistant Secretary oi War, re-
Piled taat she vas arrested by one Of Mr.
Kennedy's officers without authority from the
War Department. (The arrest had been mads
1t Washington, and Mrs. Brlnstale Conveyed
TO this city by the police oilicer) Ihereupon'
Mr.. Draper called again on Mr.. Kennedy;
received an order for the lady's release; went
v Ia it TO the Sa;ion-lIouse, took her thence.
AID placed her in the hands OF her friends.
Mr. Kennedy owes il to himself to give 40 oI.
plana;ion Of tais matter. We are aware that If.
Barlow is noted Tor kis Southern sympailies, but
that is exterior to tie case. Let us have aA
the facts. BY what proof exactly was the

THE uEyOLuTrcy IN GREECE.


The sudden outbreak and the almost unme-
diats success Of the revolution in Greece has
taken all the world by surprise. 1t is n sig.
ufcant proof that the revolutionary spirit is
more widely spread in Europe than il is rep
resented 70 bs by the organs Of public opinion.
Many countries wero generally supposed to be
ripe for q revolution, bot Greece was not
couuted among them. And YET Greece is the
Grs, country in which the right OF the people
to shake of an oppressive foreign rule has been
successful.
The history OF this revolution can be given
in few lines. The explosion occurred at o
time when tho king AID the queen bad iei! the
capital 10 visit Messenia A. the time of their
departure, October l3, everything was Tranquil.
On October IL, the first signs Of an outbreak
occurred in Achaia. The towns Of Patras and
Mssolonghi became To conters Of tho reTolu-
ton. On October %. The revolution gained
Athens, when the king was declared Opposed.
The insurgents admitted that the king governed
cousttu'ionaliy but reproucted lin with not
laborirs for the greatness and Advancement
Of Greece.

throne without even show OF resistance. On

The Provisional Government however, hew
that the people were tired Of the Bayafan
House. aud Ind therefore pronounced its depo-
siton.
1t IL not likely that any attempt will be
made to sayo the throne of Greece for o
Bayarian prince. The lIayarians themselves viii
40. probably urge their claims. Prince Lui'Poj,
who "a the next heir 70 the throne, has re-
peatedly declared himself unwilling 70 adopt
the Greek religion a condition which The
Great Powers who consolidated Greece into q
kingdom made obligatory for the successor of
the first King and the Noncompliance with
which would alone suffice TO deprive bim of
tho rielt of succession. The European Powers,
in their turn, viii have no reason to enaspo-
rate the Greek people by forcing upon them
another prince Of house which they utterly
detest.
The throne having become vacant the next
specuation is IA to who VIII be tho next hlug;
for tb,re sceus 10 be IA yet no Republican

Prince Alfred of England. Tno E0glish Princes
are excluded from the throne by the stipnlafiona

Prince Alfred, another European Congress
nodld probably not be unwilling to let them

in that case England may DO prevailed upon

A YEAR OF THE WAR.

/ At length, the Armies Of the Union, Seven
Hundred Thousand strong, are about 10 ad-
vance from all sides upon that portion Of our
country still cursed by the despotIc and bloody
rule Of the Stakeholder Rebellion. Such an
advance has already been attempted. but
bafiled Yet it would be absurd to say that
the Union arms have made no progress. We
appeal to the most nndeoiable facts.
One year ago, the Rebels held the southern
shore Of tie Potomac from point not far
below Washington, with Norfolk, Yorktown,
and that portion of Virginia which lies On the
eastern shore of Chesapeake Bay. Now. all
this is in tho undisputed possession Of the
UDionists.
One year ago. they held Ceatreville. Manas-
sas Juact.on, Leesbarg Harper's Ferry. and

Now, these are all in Union hands, and cur

One year ago, we stood on the defensive in
Eastern V.Tgiala, holding only diminut.yc
crescent over against Washington and like
patch under the guns Of Fortress Monroe. Now /!
We nod az least a third Of the area Of the
Old Dominion, and are likely soon 10 hold siil
more.
One year ago, Kentucky was more than bali
in Rebel possession. Then maiu Western nrmy

at Bowling Green while Bishop General Polk

ened us from points further east, aud kept
down East Tennessee in their rear. Now,
Kentucky, though repeatedly trayersed and
ravaged by the Rebels, is virtually deserted by
them.
! One year ago, South Western Missouri, most
ungiseiy abandoned on the displacement Of
Fremont from command there was gwen up
70 Rebel marau1,ss with most Of tle southern
part Of the State. Now, scarcely q guerrilla
band and no formidable force OF Rebels remains
within the State, which Rebel murders and
robberies have nearly converted to the most
Radical advocacy Of Emancipation.
One year ago, Arkansas had not seen the
Federal flag waving since Treason expelled il
from her soil. Since then, several bloody bat.
ties have been fought within her limits, every
one resulting in Union victory, and Union
army has trayersed tie State from the Boston
Mountains TO the Mississippi, without serious
opposition. Arkansas has had very nearly hei
fll Of rebellion.
One year ago, no Federal flag waved in
Tennessee, though one-thrd of ber people were

port, Memphis, large portion Of her tcrrl-

months from the date of the first nibble. For
tunately, however, stop was put to the gal
lop of the financier of the World at the end of
his magnificent fifteen days, which are only
surpassed in splendor by the brief reign of the
princely Fremont at st. Louis. What is the
next move of the Tartuffes Of the World on its
last legs? They sell themselves to bank, and
enter into plot with its managers and with
other bank conspirators in Wall street to blast
the financial measures of Secretary Chase, and
bring the monetary affairs of the government to
the same condition as those of the Southern
confederacy
Thus are these sympathizers with seces-
sion aiding and abetting Jefferson Davis in
the rebellion of which he is the head, and it
becomes the duty of the government to deal
with them as they have done with other dan
gerous traitors and suspects" Vacancies
have been recently made in Fort Warren by the
release of Mason and Slidell and their secret
taries. There is room there now for few of
their friends who belong to the Wall street

SPRNKING SALT IN THE STREETs.-It may
not be generally known that the practice
adopted by the city railroad companies of
sprinkling salt in the streets to melt the snow
accumulated on their tracks has the sanction Of
a city ordinance. The object Of this authori-
zation was to save the companies the expense of
keeping up staff Of laborers to clear it away.
1t has been ascertained by several seasons
successive experience that nothing can be
more prejudicial to the public health than this
practice of sailing the streets. 1t produces an
excess of humidity in the atmosphere which is
favorable to the increase of lung and throat
diseases. Physicians say that during the Pc
RODS in which it was carried out diptheria be-
came alarmingly prevalent. We do not see
why any consideration for the economies of
the city railroad lines should induce us to put
up with such evils. In the working Of them
their managers have 80 little regard to the pub
lie convenience and comfort that we need not
concern ourselves about the effect which the
prohibition of this injurious practice may have
upon their profits. The Common Council
should be called upon to pass an ordinance re-
voking their sanction oft. The public health
and the interests Of the laboring poor who are
without employment alike demand that the
nuisance shall be Immediately pat stop to.

The AGE OF THE voLUNrEERs-By the re-
cent report of the Army Sanitary Commission
we learn that the average age of the volun.
teers is little under twenty-five years. This
fact alone demonstrates that our army is com-
posed of the right materials for soldiers. We
are neither exposed to the evils of having boys
to do the work of men, as Napoleon was in the
later years Of his reign, nor are we crippled
with old men. We have an army capable Of
being brought up to high pitch Of discipline,
and with probably more stamina. and decided
ly more intelligence, than any other In the
world. It speaks well for the national cause
that the strong the 1.-the, the vigorous and the
young-ths flower, we may say, Of our working
population-should have come forward to

STILL DEFENDING ON ENGLAND AND CorToN.-
Some of the leading organs Of JEFF. Davis are
still holding out the hope Of English interven-
ton in their behalf in order to secure Southern
cotton. If the Confederate armies, they say,
will only hold their own till June, England
will surely come to their rescue; for she will
not be able to wait any longer for her cotton.
Then, as she must, she will have her cotton
For our part, we think 1t altogether probable
that John Bull will be up to his eyes in South
ern cotton by June, but that 1t will all pass into
his hands under the old flag Of the Union, at
every point along the coast, from Charleston
to New Orleans Before the end Of January
we suspect that JEFF. Davis himself will be
thinking of the advantages Of q trip to England.
