Ba@A SCENE IN the FEDERAL CoURT.-
Col. Smith, the attorney for the Federal
Court, now sitting ut the O. s. Court Room,
is, as hundreds of our readers know, a
venerable and eminent lawyer, and is as
remarkable for his sound understanding
as for his great good nature; butlike Mr..
Toots in Dombey aud Son, 6e has habit
of confounding the names ofpersous with
whom he has to do in professional way.
Yesterday, ia making most able argu-
ment in the case of the United States
against Shahan, charged with passing
counterfeit coin, Tell into this habit, aud
amused the jury and the Court by the Cd
dity of his mistakes, which are .attributa-
Die solely to the fnct that he cares more
for the rules and principles of law than
for the mere names of persons and things.
There was one wintess in the case named
Wykof, another named Drake. and still
another named Hahar, full blooded Irish
man, who exhibited the sweet brogue in
every syllable. Colonel Smith, in his COM
Guiding speech, insisted throughout upon
calling wykoF, Herkimer Drake, Twtgg,
land Hahar, he called "strayhorne tue
Dutchman.s This confoundiug of names
and nativity together with the good hui
mored but earnest manner in which twas
done, greatly excited the risible faculties
of the jury and the spectators, and mer-
-rier jury never psfOrmedsa more solemn
duty or rendered moro just verdict.

calls in the city with whom stealing has
got to be a disease. They tear up the lead

iron, rob clothes lines, culinary depart

RUMoRs OF A BATTLE.
Inability Of Reinforcements to
Reach Him.

NEW YORK, April s.
The Post learns that on the 4th Gen. Foster
was at Little Washington with brigade, a
regiment Of North Carolina troops, and some
other troops, and were virtually surrounded
by rebels, who have erected batteries on Tar
River, between Newbern and Little Washing
ton, which the naval force OF wooden gun
boats are unable TO pass. 1t was understood
that battle had taken place between General
Foster and the rebels, but nothing definite was
known. Heavy firing was heard lasting from
Wednesday night to Friday night, evidently
from rebel batteries. Gen. Fosters means of
defence are deemed ample. having fort and
entertainments, with sufficient ammunition
and provisions. Large reinforcements are in
transports below the batteries, unable TO reach
Gen. Foster for want of some naval force COM
petent to take them. Ii is reported that Gen.
Foster sent to Fortress Monroe some time
since for naval reinforcements, aud expected
to have troops sent him from Suffolk.
