Death OF Gen. Lander.

The brave and chigalric Gen. Lander is no
more Last evening the melancholy tldlngs
reached US that ne died during the afternoon at
Paw Paw, in Western Virginia, ihls mtclh-
gence Will TALL mournlully upon the country IN
ITS hour OF general rejolcng. The nation could
lily spare so good a man and 50 daring a soldier
at this juncture.
Frederick W Lludcrs was born ia Nassachn-
sets. and vas by profession an engineer. In
1882 he surveyed the great wagou.road 20
California and soonulJer Ina return was brought

ged by that PINK OF Nlrgnan chlyAry, Roger
A. Pryor. by his jUdlcious management OF lhaI
case he enabled Mr., Potter to yndicate the
representatives OF the North against the brag-
gars OF the South. When Pryor decided tl
hyht Potter with B1wo-knivcs, Lauder politely
offered to eSpouse the cause OF his principal, anc
give the Virsinian the choice OF any weapon he
pleased, but Pryor dlsereely declined. Tha
affair put stop 10 the insolence OF the chiyalrl
IN the United States House OF Representative
for some time, and taught them to mend then
plantation manners.
When the Southern rebellion broke out, Gen
eral, then Col. Lander, threw himself into ID
struggle IN henalt OF the Union, and was detail
ed ~ Western Virginia, under Gen McCellao
There he participated with Col. Kelly IN the Al

WASHINGTON, March /, 1862. {
10 Editors and Publishers
Your attention is directed to the first of March
order of the Secretary OF War, announcing the
publication OF movements of troops from one
State TO another, or towards the scene of war,
Or their embarkaton at any port, was deemed
highly preludlcial to the public welfare, and
could not he permitted. This order has been
disregarded IN several instances, doubtless from
inadyertance. IL is hoped that all loyal news
pauerS will see the impropriety of publishing
saeh movements, or Of abiding 10 them at this
luucture, when the Government needs aid m.
stsod %. embarrassment from the press, aud that
TINS general circular will render needless any
further notice or action on the part Of tais De
parm,ot.

containing much valuable historical information,
presents many striking arguments and sugges.

al towns in the state to hold them when Jta

which were chartered more than one hundre

37th Congress- First Session.
WASHINGTON, January 9.

WASHINGTON, January 8.
HOUSE-Mr. Fenton introduced bill
providing for the payment OF the interest,
in certain cases, on claims against the Gov
eminent.
Dir. Washburn introduced bill to punish
frauds against the Government.
Mr.. Richardson introduced bill to estab.
lish an arsenal at Springfield, III.
The above bills were all appropriately re-
ferred.
The House proceeded to the consideration
of the bill abolishing the frapking privilege
Mr.. Colfax, in explanation, said that a bill
for this purpose has, on several occasions,
passed the Senate, but had never before re-
ceived favorable action by the POst-office
Committee of the House.
1t was now reported unanimous with one
exception.
In England, even, the Queen has to pay
her own postage, and no man has there sug-
gested that the franking privilege be re-
stored. If it should be abolished in this
country it will never be restored, and the
people would wonder that it had existed so
long.
SENATE-Collomer from the Postoffice
Committee, reported back the bill to promote
the efficiency of the Dead Letter Office:
The bill provides that all dead letters
be returned to the writer's, instead OF
being destroyed. After long discussion
the bill was postponed until tomorrow.
Mr.. Trumb NIL reported from the Judiciary
Committee in favor of the resolution to ex.
pei Waldo II. Johnson, of Missouri.

UNITED STATES CIRCUIT CoURT.-A resolu.
ton was introduced into the United States
Senate yesterday by Mr.. Powell, of Ken
lucky, asking that the law allowing the
Judges of the United States Courts to hold
the terms of the Courts at Covington, Pa.
ducah ard Louisville may be repealed. The
object appears to be the centering of all the
business of the United States Courts at
Frankfort, to the great detriment of the
places where they are now held.

The STREET RAILROAD CASE DECIDED
For several days past the various conductors,
drivers and other attaches of the street rail-
roads in this city have been considerably ex.
ercised about trial which was pending iu
the Police Court, in which young man
named Rogers, Conductor on one of the cars
OF the Pendleton and Fifth. street. market
Railroad, was defendant. The case finally
came up before Judge Satin Yesterday morn
ing. The evidence went TO show that a man
named George Kitchen presented a mutilated
ticket to Rogers, which the Conductor re-
fused to accept, saying it was not good for a
passage on the car. Kitchen declined giving
any Other, and Rogers then attempted to put
him off the car. A scuffle ensued aud Officer
&cIlhenDy, of the Seventeenth Ward, hap
peniDg to be in the car, stepped forward for
the purpose of separating the parties, and
WAS struck by Rogers. The officer being in
citizen's dress, then proclaimed that he was
an officer, but was again struck by Rogers.
Mir. Charles KDgour was also present, and
protested against the arrest of the Conductor.
In giving his testimony, Mr.. Kilgour jus
tilted the acts OF his conductor, inasmuch as
be had instructed him to reject all mutilated
tickets, for the reason, as he stated, that the
conductors were frequently imposed upon
by scraps oftickets pasted together.
AT the close of the testimony Judge Satin
remarked that the gist of the case rested all
upon one point-the genuineness of the
ticket and the responsibility of the railway
company to redeem it. The ticket given by
Kitchen (which was In Oourt), even though
il was torn in two, he said was still evidence
of the Indebtedness of the company; and he
was surprised that man possessing the in
telligence of Mr.. Kilgour, who could not but
be aware of the fact, should give instructions
to bis conductors to refuse torn and multi
ated tickets.
The conductor was fined $40 and costs,
which Mr.. Kilgour paid. ...,... FL.
