The FUGITIVE SLAVE CAsE-Eor several
days he Supreme Cour. Of the District have
been engaged in hearing the case OF the fugitive
slave boy Andrew Hall. who is claimed by
Geo. W. Duyall, Of George. of Prince Georges
county, Md. The boy Hall absconded from his
master in October last, since which time he las
apprehended in the market, and lodged in Jail
under writ issued by Judge Wylie by one OF
the Marshai's deputies On Friday, Mr. Dean,
counsel for DR. Breed and others, appeared be-
fore he court anu moved that the writ be
quashed on the ground Of informality, but the
Court dismissed the motion because DR. Breed
had not an interest in the matter
bu Saturday the case was brou Qht before the
Court on !; writ OF habeas corpus sued out by
MrssrS. Dean and ,Joliffe. who appear as cour-
sci for the relator. Messrs los H. Bradley

claimant
Mr.. Dean opened the case coatendipg that
the ooy should be discharged from custody on
t:le ground that the riausa il. thu Cons titution

Mareh3l can return the fugitive. and argued
that he could not, became the law pro, les
thttl The fugitive shall be delivered lIp by the
STR TO which he has escaped, and not BY the
United S;ates. He contended that the acts OF
1888 and l~5.b are void because the remed, pro-
. rided is summary. The relator was at large
when arrested and the presumption is that he
was free. which presumption shall stand until
the claimant proves that he is a slave by s.dne
course of law.
Mr.. Cox. for the claimant, vie wed the argu-
mentS of Mrssrs Dean and Juliffe.
Mr.. Bradley claimed that Congress had pre-
scTibed the evidence in such cases as this, and
The question was as to the power OF Congress
10 prescribe such evidence, and whether the
laws they have apply 10 the District of Coinm
bia: and he contended that there was no limita.

The Grand Army Of the Potomac.

A portion Of the Army Of the Potomac has recently
effected change Of base under circumstances demand
ing the utmost secresy to prevent advantage being
ken of it by the enemy A knowledge Of what was
about to be done6as been in possession for nearly
week and doubtless other leading journals have been
kept as well informed by their correspondents and
agents 80 not 70 embarrass military operations not
one line have published respecting the recent move
ment Of troops But other Journals have not been
so reicent The Post Of last evening did all the little
mischief could by publishing piece of highly contra
baud news, and Philadelphia paper has been guilty
Of a similar indiscreton. Now, this is all wrong.
No great harm done. We knew quite as much and
quite you did of the change of base. Aud
perhaps we are quite well advised of some other
things and particularly of the reasons of the change
There was no Generalization in the Grand Army-uo

Impressments.

The BILL which introduced into the House Of Rep
reseniatiyes by Mr.. HolcOmbe and ably supported by
him. has been reported by the Committee OF the Senate
1t hoped that early and favorable action may be had
upon it. The communication of Farmer in another
column, tells Of the good that will be effected by early
action very large proportion Of people need only
patriotic considerations prompt them to their duty
but there some with whom profit weighs quite as
much as patriotism. We must deal with the world
find it, not as we would wish ii If large crop Of food
is essential to the webeng to the safety of the Confed
eraey inducements to its production should be with
held-certainly, no discouragements distractions
should be interposed by Government. It requires no
Solomon to know that the system Of arbitrary seizure
Of crops prices bali the market value will operate

the land
In this connection, would call the attention of the
whole State to the patriotic solutions offered by Mr.

fore they SOW who TO reap slf the present abomln
able system of arbitrary mpressnts is to be continued
they viii put out no more than is necessary for their own
use But if the law gives the the assurance that they
are to receive fair price for their crops they will strain
every nerve to SOW aud plant much land as they can
possibly work Sound policy requires that this assurance
shall be promptly given / know farmers who are now
anxousy awaiting the action Of the Senate before they
decide on the quantity of land to be put in oats, corn
and potatoes.
If the House bill, or like it, becomes the law,
large crop will be rlsed-if not the crop will be small
The system of impressment has done more to chill the
ardOr of the people than any other cause Men cannot
tolerate the idea of petty officers coming to their farms,
searching their premises axd carrying of the fruits of
their patient labor They will prefer to let their lands
lie idle and apply their labor to repairs of fencing,
dtchng and clearing of stones, &c. until better coun
sells prevail in the legislative halls.
There is great fault somewhere. No advertisements
are put forth in regard to what the government needs
aud the first ntimation the farmers have is from visit
of the pressgang. This is all wrong lie. the officers
advertise for wheat corn oats, -four bacon, beef hay
&c. and they can easily get them by private contracts.
But under the present system these articles will be
creted to the damage of the government If you wan
larger crops urge the Senate to pass the House bill regu

There Is great excitement at the capital OF Illinois
The Democrats introduced resolutions appointing peace
commissioners TO meet with similar commissioners from
other States at Louisville The language Of the resolu
ons s such as to warrant the opinion that the move
meut IS the opening wedge for another secession Of
states majority Of the caucus named are notorious
secession sympathisers.
To carry out the design Of these resolutions, Senator
Underwood made a motion that the Legislature take
recess until June.
The Republicans after some fibusering left the bad,
but the sergeantaarms brought them back. The doors
locked and the resolution passed by vote OF IL to
Z. Il caused great excitement This resolution is
passed with the Intention of giving peace convention
at Louisville time to take action in favor OF an arnlls-
tice, and report TO this Legislature.
The Republican members held caucus on frnay
night and agreed that there should be no more egsa
zion unless the Democrats withdraw the resolutions cali
ing convention at Louisville, and pledge themselves
not to sgain present them.
The Republican senator's left the city and VIII not re-
turn until the pledge given, so that the Legislature Is
virtually dissolved,
The Union caucus at Frankfort bursted. The DAVIS
Crittenden- Wickliffe division insisted occupying
Ground similar to that taken by the secessonsts OF the
State To this the unconditional Union men would not
agree and the caucus bowed out There some noble
spirits in Kentucky Who disguised with the wayering
course Of the old Union leaders, will take bold I'M
conditional Union position and they viii make hgheat
