months since, detailed by the late Gen. Mitchell
for special duty, and accordingly penetrated
cOrgiAfor the obstruction Of railroads, and 9TH
erwise to damage the enemy. Tho rebels cap
turcd and hung seven Of them, and confined
the remainder Of them In dungeons, treating
them as feions. On Wednesday, six Of the
number arrived in Washington, having been
sent to Fortress Monroe under flag Of truce.
The others, IL is supposed, escaped from prison.
Yesterday, by request, the returned soldiers
had an interview with the Judge Advocate,
General Holt, and also with the Secretary Of
War, in the presence Of a number Of army Of
hcers. The Secretary presented each Of them
medal such as wSs authorized by the late
Congress for meritorious conduct, these being
the fret testimonials Of that character that
have been awarded.
In addition to this he gave to each Of them
hundred dollars, and ordered the payment of
the arrearages, and a sum equivalent to that
taken from them by the rebels. He has also
requested Governor Tod, of Ohio, to appoint
these men as lleutenants in the volunteer SER
vice. In tho event Of his not doing so, they
will be brevetted lieutenants in the regular ser
vice. They afterwards had an interview with
the President at the Executive mansion.

IMPORTANT DECISION. = The case of
johnson and Tisdale vs. the City of 0leve-
land, which arose out Of difficulties ensuing
from the excavation for the improvement of
the ship channel and old river bed, may be
interesting to some of our subscribers. The
plaintiffs claimed damages for injury from
the excavation to their lots, at present occu-
pied by Cross and Payne as a coal yard al
so, for injury done their ship yard in Block
&C." in the Buffalo Company's allotment,
from forcing them to remove their marine
railway; also, by the appropriation of lots
in the centre Of the channel, which they
claimed by tax title, and by the aecumula-
ton of dirt on the margin of other lots own
ed by them. They further claimed that the
assessment on the lots abutting the ship
channel was illegal in this: the con-
tract between the person excavating the ca
nal and the city, provides that the dirt
should be removed and spread upon the lots
adjacent, to the height of three feet above
water mark. Now the assessment has not

was, therefore, Illegal, and the plaintiffs
should recover back their money.
The court decided that the assessment was
legal; that the plaintiff could not on that
ground recover; that tho injury to the LOT
occupied by Cross and Payne was barred by
the Statute of Limitations that the lots in
Bloek SfC'' snpropriated for the excavation
had years before been donated by the Buffalo
Company for that purpose.
This left but one point for the jury to de-
eide, to wit: the damage done to the lots by
piling up the dirt, ETC., for which verdict
was given for the plainihf, for the sum of 5000

A peculiarly sad mistake was made by

case of Assistant Surgeon ]. P. AlcOrn,
126th Ohio, residing at ReYenna, Ohio
An order was issued, branding Alcorn
with the crime Of receiving bribes from
soldiers, causing the Governor to revoke
his commission. The War Department
now correets the mistake, by stating the
name of the guilty party as J. P. AshcOrn
