srThe statement in some of the city
papers that the City Solicitor has decided that
the election of Superintendent of Cemeteries
and City Liquor Agent by convention of the
two branches OF the City Government is legal,
is not correct. Two questions were submitted
10 the City Solicitor. viz:-lst-Was the cleo
ton Of City Liquor Agent, in convention, a
legal one? To that he replied, that it was,
aud gives his opinion in full. The ID ques-
ton proposed was, as to whether a non-resi-
dent OF the city Is eligible to the Office Of SUI
perintendent OF Evergreen Cemetery? To
this the City Solicitor, after quoting a case to
bear upon the point, replies that he is not
He then goes further, and decides that the SUI
perintendents OF Cemeteries must be Under
takers, and Of course Health Officers; that
their appointment, by the Statute and the new
City Charter. devolves upon the Board Of
Mayor aud Aldermen.
In the Common Council Monday evening,
after this opinion was read, Mr.. Fling Of Ward
4 offered an order that convention be formed
for the purpose Of electing a Superintendent
Of Evergreen Cemetery. The President OF the
Council, Mr.. Twitehell, said he should be gov
erned by the opinion Of the City Solicitor, and
refused To entertain the order. An appeal
was taken, and the decision Of the President
was sustained by vote Of o too.

dict for plaintiff for S6247.

No. 347. Nathaniel Walker VS.. Springfield
Fire and Marine Insurance Co.
This is an action to recover the amount of
policy of insurance, for S2675, on his stock of
clothing and furnishing goods, and the furni-
ture and fixtures in the store, which were de-
stroyed by fire on the 4th of June, 1861. The
defense is that there was partnership concern
owning the goods; that one partner got the
stock insured in his own name, and now calls
upon the defendant company to pay the part
nership loss, for which, they contend, they are
not liable. The case was argued by Mr.. Butler
for defendants aud Mr.. Webb for the plaintiff.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Webbs argument

FROM WASHINGTON.

Items from Richmond Papers.

WASHINGTON, April 2S.
The 10th Maine regiment has arrived here,
having been mustered out of service.
The Richmond papers OF yesterday contain
the following:
Okoiona, 25M.-Our cavalry engaged the
enemy yesterday at Birmingham. The fight
lasted two hours and half The enemy were
completely routed, with Is killed and large
number wounded. Col Hatch of the 18th
ran into our lines and was captured. Our loss
was one killed and 20 wounded. The destruc-
ton OF bridge prevented pursuit.
Chattanooga, 25th.-Passengers by the train
report that Gen. Dodge's Yankee force, 1000
strong, have advanced 10 miles towards East
Tuscumba. Col Roly is lighting and retreat
ing towards reinforcements.
Sdodnndh, 24th.-The sloop Eagle, laden
with cotton and tobacco, outward bound was
beached and fired in Warsaw Sound on Thurs
day, to prevent her capture by blockaders.-
Grew safe
Iuitdh0nd, cath. - Further advices from
McMinnville represent that the enemy have
destroyed several bridges, burnt cotton fac
tory, depot buildings, one engine and three
cars and then retreated towards Murfreesboro'.
Second Observation-Disclosures 24th.-The
word to-day is, Everybody to the 'front.'
There is no movement there on the part of the
confident of success. 1t is believed that the
Yankees will not dare make an attack.
Adyices from Tuscumba to-day state that
three regiments of Yankees are advancing
They will be held in check by Col. Roly with
his cavalry.
Tulldhoma, 25th-The enemy are falling
back. All is quiet in front.
The Richmond Enquirer of 9th has the fol-
lowing The enemy have occupied the coun-
ty of Farquer in large force, it is reported
from 10000 to 10000. They are said to have
1900 infantry and 5000 cavalry. Their in
fantry camp was, at last accounts, on the
Orange d. Alexandria Railroad, below War
renton Junction, and their cavalry pickets on
the Rappahannock. 1t is reported that
small force of the enemy made dash TO
Washington, Rappahannock county, but it is
not certain. Skirmishing along the river is
daily taking place.
The Enquirer, relative to affairs in South
Carolina, says, there are some indications that
the Yankees are moving in South Carolina.
1t is supposed their intention is to make raid
in the vicinity of Coosawatchie, probably to
attempt to destroy the railroad between Sa-
vannah and Charleston.
A Fredericksburg correspondent of the
Richmond Despatch, writes 26th mo news
here. The sun and wind to-day have dried
the roads very much. We are quiet, but ex-
pectant, hopeful and confident. My private
opinion is still that the Yankees are leaving"
The Despatch of the 9th says telegram
received in this city yesterday states that the
Federals were advancing on the Jackson,
Miss, and Meridian railroad, and destroyed
stone bridge on that road.
