There seemed to be but little business for the
Court. The attachment case of Humphrey vs.
Fivaldi was perhaps the most important one
tried The material Of the late Manhattan Ex-
press was involved in this suit. We were re-
quired to examine the types, DC. and testify to
their condition. Upon first sight it appeared to
us as though a Kaw mum had been trying his
fist at the "Art Preservative." Upon stirring
up the "pi." We became convinced of this, and
INDUCED in feeling. of commiseration for the
poor " jour who may have it to distribute, and
of terror because Of the amount Of profanity said
"pi" will give rise to. Types are sacred in our
eyes, and he who knows nothing about them has
no business with them. In this case a jury of
printers would have brought in verdict Of.
Guilty of Murder in the First Degree. The trial
resulted in Humphreys obtaining judgment
against Vivaldi of $500. There ought to have
been an offset of at least $500 allowed for the
scandalous abuse of that printing material, but
because of some technicalty all testimony to that
effect was ruled out

Wisconsin, whose Company did Provost duty
in this town, while General Mitchelrs brigade
was stationed at Fort Riley last summer We
are permitted to make the following extracts
of letter written by him to Mr. Stricken
All will remember the high opinion expressed
Of this country by the Wisconsin boys and of
their determination to settle here after the
close Of the war. They will be read with
interest, as the Captain and his boys were
universally liked
~ have seldom left place after so short a
stay with so many cheering recollections
Though you lacked many of the comforts of
older places, the wild game and plenty of fish
made our stay among you the most pleasant
no more so from having so much "whisky
duty" to do.
"My health is first rate and also with the
majority Of my men. l have lost Lieutenant
Walker who went home and died and c. H
Thompson, who died while ] was at home in
July; also, two new recruits have died, and
several discharged; still my Company is about
full
I'VE have had some very hard service, and
some very easy, comfortable times. The pres
ent Is one Of the latter, being holiday for us,
though we are on picket every third day. We
are close TO Memphis, where we can be we'll
supplied; have floor in my tent, the first since
left Wisconsin. The Twelfth is still a very
large regiment, and though entitled to no rlorv
stands well as far as honor. Have never had
a fight though we have heard several and
done ourselves credit for our rapid marches
only to reach the scene of conflict too late to
participate.
"The army here is united, and feel ready to
strike secession North or South Though we
have much to discourage us, we shall defend
and preserve the structure our forefathers so
nobly bequeathed to us. But on the heads of
our northern hell-hounds, who are encouraging
the South, will rest the blood Of thousands of
Northern as well as Southern soldiers. But
for them the rebellion would have been ended
ere this time.
~ still intend to give you . call if pass
safely through the war"

The superintendency Again.
THURSDAY::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: 2s

Mr. j. FRANK CoNDoN, our newly
elected County Superintendent, is out in
card in last weeks Dem. DC Sent, where
in he attempts to rid himself Of the odium
accruing to the fact of his having been
elected to his present emineuce through
the iustrumentality of par:izan nomina-
ton. Ia this endeavor he does not sue
ceed any too well, by reason that he deals
too largely in "glittering generalities,"
instead of con6ning himself to the essen
tial attributes Of the subject. AS SAMI-
VEL WELLER would say, he also attempts
to be "wery severe" on The AlSeghanion
but we will let that pass, attributing 1t to
the inexperience of a tyro, and confident
that we at least stand in no seriou5Saanger
of being overwhelmed thereby.
Mr.. CoNDoH makes several assertions,
and propounds several interrogatories unto
Us, to which we beg leave to refer for
moment.
/. He says "no candidate was required
TO define his political position" at the
Democratic caucns. a little further on,
however, he adds-s'I was allowed an
opportunity to refute SANDER, which
had been extensively circulated among
the Directors for the purpose of defeating
me. In the course of this reiutation /
said that / was Democrat" &c. From
this it would certainly appear that Mr.. G.
pretty effectually 'defned" has position !;
and the other aspirants fo- the Office, by
attending the caucus, and permitting
themselves to be bound by its dclibera-
.ions, also placed themselves upon record
as strictly partizan candidates. Does Mr.
C. pretend 20 aver that he, or any one
else, who was not present at the Demo
cratic caucus, and whose "politlcal posi-
ton was uIdeGned, could possibly have
received the caucus nomination for the
Superintendency and been elected?
II. Mr. c., continuing his "rcfutarion"
of the ISLANDER" before mentioned-which
must undoubtedly have consisted of an
attempt to injure the gentleman by the
promulgation of the story that he was no
Democrat-says "I said that was a
Democrat. but the word 'Copperhead' was
not mentioned, the assertion of the .Iolins-
toton Democrat to the contrary notwith-
standing" We are rejoiced to sec that he
thus directly gives the lie to the Democrat.
We should have beensmore ashamed than
ever of him and bis party could ~a have

directly on top of him I punched his
head into the snow, and then sang out for
old Lougce I did not have to call a
the window to see me pass, and as soon as
he saw my sleigh overturned, he had
lighted his lantern and hurried out.

he came up.
"Lead the horses into the track, and

As Ispoke partially looseued my hold
upon the Williams throat, and he drew a
pistol from his bosom but 1 saw it in sea-

again, and got the weapon away from him.
By this time -Longee had led tho horses
out and came back, and [ explained the
matter to him in as few words as possible.
We hauled the rascal out into the road,
and upon examination we found about
twenty packages Of letters which he had
stolen from the mail bag and slowed away
in his.pockets.
He swore, and threatened, and prayed;
but we paid no attention to his blarney.
Longee got some stout cord, and when we
had securely bound the villain, we tum-
bled him into the pung. asked the old
man ie he would accompany me to Little
lou, and he said 'of course So ho got
his overcoat and muf1cr, and ere long we
started on.

was Unidentified by some officers from

rather inclined to the opinion that he is

That's the only time that ever had
any mail trouble, and think that under
all circumstances came out of it pretty
well.

THE ORIGINAL COPPERHEAD-The
following extract from Benedict Arnold's
"Proclamation to the citizens and soldiers
of the United States" issued Oct 20,
1850, is very much like many of the
copperhead speeches and editorials of the
present day. He talked of the tyranny
of the Government SO do they. He was
for surrendering and compromising the
quarrel they are doing the same thing
But Arnol1's treason was nobler than
theirs; for he was for yielding 10 great
and powerfui nation, which had some
claims upon the fealty Of. the people but
these dastards wish to lie down at the feet
of traitors who can of right claim nothing
but halters. Black as Arnold's record
is. it begins to appear less dark when
brought into contrast with theirs. Here
is what he said:
"You arc promised liberty by the lead
ers Of your affairs, but is there an
individual in the enjoyment of it, saving
your oppressors Who among you dare
speak or write what he thinks against the
tyranny which has robbed you of your
property, imprisous your sons, drags you
to the field of battle, and is daily deluging
your country with your blood
"Your country once was happy, and
had the profiered peace been embraced,
the last two years of misery had been
spent in peace and plenty, and repairing
the desolation of quarrel that would
have set the interests of Great Britain and
America in true light, and cement their
friendship.
81 will lead chosen band of Americans
to the attainment of peace, liberty, and
safeiy, the first objects in taking the
field.
"What is America but a land Of
orphans and beggars-but what need Of
arguments to such as feel infinitely more
misery than tongue can express? l give
my promise of most affectionate welcome
to all who are disposed to JOIN me in
measures necessary TO close the scene of
our affection, which must be increased
until we are content with the liberality OF
the country who still offers us protection
and perpetual exemption from all taxes
but such as we shall think fit to impose
upon ourselves. BENEDICT ARNOLD"

The notorious VALLANDIGHAM, under
arrest for couple of weeks past for 'pub-
!icly expressing sympathy for those IN
arms against the Government. OF the
United States, and declaring disloyal
sentiments and opinions, with the object
and purpose of weakening the powers of
the Government in its efforts to suppress
an unlawful rebellion" has been tried by
military commission, found guilty OF
the charges preferred against him, and
sentenced to be placed in close confine-
ment in Fort Warren during the contin-
uarce of the war. 1t is understood,
however, that the President. to whom the
finding of the commission has been
referred, favors .he Punishment of VAL.
to Dixie during the war. One Of these
plans will undoubtedly be acted upon, and
the latter appears to us the more advisa.
bic under the circumstances. In the first
place, like great many others, he pro-
fesses to believe that the North has the
wrong side of the question in this contest,
and. by parity of reasoning, the South
the right side; so, whenever he passes
our lines Southwark, he will be among
the true and accepted friends of the
"Union as it was and the Constitution as
it is''-where be and his stripe should
have been long ago. Secondly, being a
"Peace" man, when he gets there VAL.
may be able, by his eioquence, to make
some converts TO his delightful doctrine,
and, ultimately, to re-revolutionize the
South-in which case he will win more
lasting honor than he ever could have
done here by giving vent to narrow-min-
ded partizan harangues. We think he
ought to go South, where he will be
appreciated.
On our first page we publish the
decision cf Judge LEAvIrT made upon
the matter of the application of VALLAN-
DIGHAM for writ of habeas corpus. 1t
contains the most exalted sentiments of
patriotism, intermingled with convincing,
incontrovertible legal precepts, and will
be read with satisfaction by every loyal
man in the nation.

pa- Brigadier General Crawford has
been relieved, by order of the War De-
partment, from the Military Commission,
and assigned to duty under Major General
Heintzleman, for the command of the
division known as the Pennsylvania
Reserves. General Seymour takes the
place of General Crawford on the Com
mission. The assignment was made at
the request of the Governor Of Pennsyl-
vania, in consideration of Gen. Crawford s
former efficient services and fine soldier!y
qualities. He was with General Anderson
during the bombardmcnt of Sumter, with
General Banks in the Shenandoah valley
and Cedar Mountain, and while command
ing the First Division, after General
Mansfield fell, was severely wounded at
Antietam.
