In the Court Of Quarter Session, Judge

lay other business aside until the author
ity Of the State had beer Vindicated; iirec-
ting the Jury to hold consultation and take
action. on the arrest Of Mr.. BOileau, pro-
prietor Of the EUeaiR0 Journal, and the
closing Of bis establishment; to call before
them all concerned, thatthey may be asked
under what authority they acted, and why
he (B0ileau) was removed from the State.
The Judge stated thst he acted on his own
authority in the matter, without consulting
his brother Judges.
Second DispGtch ...-
The course of Judge Ludlow in regard
to the arrest Of Mr.. BOiIeau. the proprietor
of the philadelphia ECening Journal, is the
subject Of conversation everywhere, and
excites universal attention. The high
character Of Judge Ludlow us an impartial
magistrate gives. bis decree considerable
influence. ....--
Harrisburg, Pa. Jan. &c.
The arrest of Mr.. Boileau, of the Phila-
delphia Evening Joural, has been brought
MP in the Legislature by resolutions Of.
fered by Senators Donovan and Wallace.
That Of the former authorizes the Governor
to 60 IL Washington and demand the re-
lease Of Mr.. BOileau. Mr.. Donovan sup
ported it in an able speech, which was re-
piled to by Mr.. Lowry. The resolution
was referred to the Committee Of Federal
Relations. and a motion to discharge the
committee from its consideration was killed
by strict party vote. Considerable ex-
citement prevails 10 regard to the arrest,

Hurnside,s Lite Order.

~SBNAroBIA, April ~.
is stated by Northern papers that Burnsids'
death penalty order includes the curriers' OF Sc
cret mails. the writer's Of letters sent by secret
nail, recruiting officers captured within the
Federal lines, persons agreeing to pass the Fed
eral lines for the purpose of joining the Conied-
sratc service, prisoners found concealed within
the lines belonging to tho enemy, and oil within
the lines who barbor, conceal, feed and clothe the
enemy. Ho also adds: The habit Of declaring
sympathy for tho enemy will BIO no longer tolera-
ted. and persons so offending will be arrested with
u view to trial for treason or expulsion. All OH
GERS and soldiers are specially charged with tho
execution of the order.
Granger's account Of the battle at Franklin
saws: Van Dorm attacked at ono o'clock. An
infantry reg; ueut held him at bay until their
ammunition was exhausted. A dense smoke en-
ablcd him to approach near the town, unseen,
whon Stanley attacked FORESTS division, and
CAPTURED six hundred prisoners aud six pieces Oh
artillery, but being outaanked and ouinumbered'
he abandoned them. They were repulsed on all
sides, when darkness prevented pursuit. The
Union loss was one hundred, thut of the enemy
three times as many"

From Mississippi.

OF the situation AT Vicksburs. we gather
the following from the Wing, IF the 2lst:
The Yankees are amusing themselves eve
nv day in Smelling the city from their twenty
and thirty FOUNDER guns on the tongue Of
land across the river. They have inflicted
little damage as yet, but their shells are q
considerable annoyance as the iron visitors
burst into fragments frequently in the heart
of the city, causing pedestrians to "skedad-
die" in fine style. Our guns have not
" growled" once in return, and We suppose
they will not, as we have always been very
prudent about expanding our ammunition. If
the Yankees peresvere, and the past should
certainly teach us they are the most constant
people in the pursuit of an undertaking that
the sun ever shone on, considerable damage
NAV be done. We cannot believe that they
will be satisfied with two small Parrot guns.
Our pickets represent them to be working
constantly every night, aud unless we endeav.
or to drive them off, gun after gun may spring
up until Vicksburg becomes too'w$rm tor
comfort.
The Jackson Appeal of the 2lst says: Our
latest information is from a gentleman who
left the city yesterday afternoon. The fire
from the battery opposite was going On when
the train left. Thus far comparatively few OF
the missiles thrown have reached the city.
Several buildings, however, have been hit,
and slightly damaged. Among them is the
passenger depot, which has been struck sew
eral times, and it having become apparent
that its range had been asccrtained, trains
are now stopped some distance this side Tor .!
safety. The firing to day seemed to De al

house.

important Public Meeting.

The proceeding of a public meeting, held
in thi. place on FRIDAY last, will he foun1 IN

Confederate Army, addressed the meeting.
representing the wants of our army in Vir-
GINA. We wish..every farmer in the State
could hear him. lie stated that the army
had consumed all the food it was possible to
procure for. 10 miles around the point where
It Is now stationed, and that unless more corn
and meat was furnished from North Carolina
it might have to fall back into North Carroll.
ma. 1t is important that the farmers OF all
surrounding counties should remember this.
It would be much better that each man
should now sell to tae Government one,halt
or two-thirds of what be has in the way of
provisions, than to have the army fall back
into this State. If the army is compelled
from mere want to retire from Virginia, it
will be disastrous to nearly every mar IN
North Carolina, for he will not only then be
compelled to part with his provisions, out
his fields may become the battle ground tor
the contending forces. 1t is a serious matter
and we saint to impress il: on the mindS Oh
all. Every one in this and the surrounding
counties who mas a bushel Of corn or a pound
of meat 10 spare, must bring it forward I'M
meiiately. He will be paid for it, and PAID a
good price and il will help to save the Cid
North State from being overrun by the muir
derers and robbers of the North. Now is the
tine to act, and the action must be prompt.
And it would be we'll for all who have a sur
plus amount of provisions on hand to remelm-
Der that unless they sell it voluntarily, the
Government will be compelled to impress it:
The necessities Of the army in, Virginia and
Eastern North Carolina can be and must De
relieved if those at home have to live on halt
rations. The enemy now expect to conquer
us by starving our troops. Shall that be so
when we have it in our power to prevent 1T?
We are not discouraged, and no one else
should be, at the present condition of affairs,
for we are confident that there is food enough
in the South, il properly distributed. to sup
ply the wants Of soldiers and all others. We
have heard of several persons who have from
500 TO 1000 bushels of corn on hand but
some of them seem unwilling to sell a portion
of it until they are forced to do so. The news
is that our brave men everywhere are anxious
to meet the invader and confident of success
in a fair fight. Give them plenty of food and
all will be well.-Charlotte Democrat.

FROM THE BAR-We learn from Morris
Island that the Keokuk is fast settling in tie
quicksands where she sunk, ::and that her tur-
rets and smoke stack have also. disappeared.
All efforts to raise her will be abandoned.
Observations for the past twot day show,a
considerable stir on d.tbe:.Ironsides. Her
masts were being raised, and. in connection
with other movements, seemed to indicate an
intention;to proceed to sea. 1t was rumored
yesterday that the whole AeetLofairon-clads
were about to sail for Mobile. Another re-.
port was CIRCULATED that the Ericsson Floating
Battery had appeared off the Bar Friday
morning, with the object, as was supposed,
of making an attempt to raise the keokuk.
The first rtport doubtless arose from the ap-
pearauce of the Ironsides in getting ready TO
sail.-Charleston Courier, 18th.

Rose LEArEs.-We have been requested
by Surgeon j.. j. Chisclm, who is in charge
OF the Medical Purveying Department, loca-
ted in Columbia, to invoke the aid of the
ladies in collecting rose leaves, which are
now SO abundant in the many gardens OF this
city. Rose leaves are extensively used in
the manufacture of blue pills, and are much
needed for preparing this article for issue to
the sick of the army. The best leaves are
those of the sweet rose, although the com.
mon daily rose answers nearly as well. we
feel confident that it is only to call the atten-
ton of ladies to this subject, TO obtain for
Surgeon Chisolm an abundant supply.-South

A California Story.

In the Northern part Of California is q atrenu
called Yuba river. Across it some enterprisinl
individual built o bridge; and, on the banks
somebody else built three or four houses. Inc
inhabitants called the place Yuba Dam. Three
bars wore instantly erected, and the town " In
creased rapidly. About noon one cool day, q 80

"Hello"
"Hello!" replied the shirt with vigor, rcmoT'
ing the pipo from his mouth.
"What place is this p demanded the traveller
whose name was
The answer Of the shirt was unexpected:
"Yuba Dam J"
There was about fftv yards between them, and
the wind was blowing. Mr.. Thomson thought ne
had been mistaken.
"What did you say 2" he asked.
"Yuba Dam" replied the shirt cheorfully.
"What place is this p roared Mr.. Thomson.
"Yubn DAM" replied the shirt in o slightly
elevated tone Of voice.
"Lookce bore !" yelled tho irate Thomson. al
asked you politely what this place was why In
the thunder don't you answer 2
The stranger became excited: lie rose and re-
piled with the voice of an eishty.poundcr
"You-ha Dam ! Do you hear that!"
In II minute Thomson, burning with tho "ratn
of the righteous, jumped off his horse and adj
vanced on the stranger with an expression not 10
he mistaken. The shirt arose und assumed a
posture of offeusc and defence.
Arriving within q yard of him, Thomson said
81 ask you, for the last time, what place is

Putting his hand to his mouth, his opponent
roared
"You-ha Dam !"

they hsd II dozen legs instead Of four. 1tioosed
like a prize fight between two psgilistic csnt'pedes.
Finally they both rolled oa the bank and into
the river. The water cooled them. They went
down together, but came up separately, ana put
for tho shore. Both reached it about the same
time, and Thomson scrambled up the bank
mounted his wnr-like steed, leaving his los goug-
ing the mud out of one Of his eyes.
Having left the business portion OF tho town
that is, the corner where the three bars were kept
he struck n house in the suburbs, before which
