MAN STABBED AND RoBBED.-Francis Helm
bold, private Of the ib1th Pennsylvanis volun-
teers, was brought into the Guart-hOuse last night
in miserable condition. He was kindly cared for;
and when he had recovered sufficiently stated that

and beat In terrible manner. In trying 70 defend
himself, he WAS stabbed, and his arm broken In
two places. He was taken TO the hospital this
morning, where he Is getting along very well; but
the surgeon In charge thinks that his arm may
have to come of. No clue to his assailants has

trigger with his toe, the ball passing through his
left lang and heart, killing him instantly.

The ROileau Case,

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 3O.-The grand jury
to day made presentment in relation to the
arrest of Mr.. Boileau, the proprietor of the
Philadelphia Evening journal. The present
ment says the testimony before the grand jury
shows that the arrest was made by the order
of Gen. Schenck for the publication of an ed
itorial article under the title Of 'The Message
Of Davis and other articles of like charac
ter tending to the support and encouragement
OF the rebellion against the United States gov
eminent. After quoting the editorial alluded
ed to by Gen. Schenck, the grand jury say they
cannot refrain from saying that whilst they
indirectly or as body could not conscien.
tlously do anything which would have a ten
dency to weaken the general government in
the exercise OF its constitutional authority for
the suppression Of this most wicked and
eauSeIesa rebellion, yet they feel equally
bound to enforce all laws that have for their
object the protection of life. the security of
property, and the liberty of the citizen, which
laws are in their sacred keeping.

Interesting from Hilton Head.

HHToN HEAD, Jan. pa good deal of
anxiety Is manifested with regard to matters
in Ossibaw Sound. The Montauk went down
on Saturday morning last for the purpose of
eXpelhng the rebels from their batteries, while
the capture or destruction of the Nashville
was to be undertaken by the wooden vessels
which accompanied her A contest with
the rebel ram Atlanta is also anticipated
Beyond the news of the Montauk's safe arri-
val at the mouth of the Ogeechie on Satur-
day afternoon, we have nothing definite from
that vicinity. Yesterday dense fog hung
over the coast. To-day we have heard from
that quarter numerous reports of heavy guns,
indicating that something unusual is going on
No fears exist as to the welfare of the Mon
tauk; but the Nashville is known among our
cruisers as fast trOtting ship" and she may
get away after all and in spite of all.
Some commotiOn was created this morning
by the announcement that lieutenant Higgins
of the Forty seventh New York volunteers,
had been apprehended as Il deserter from the
Tenth United States Infantry, where he was
known as sergeant Wade. He was calledin
the quarters of lieutenant colonel Van Brunt
the provost marshal, and the charges against
him were read in his presence. Without ac-
knowledging or denying his guilt, the
accused leisurely took off his coat, ripped
the shoulder straps therefrom, and with
the request that he might be kept in
solitary confinement, went to a cell in the
guard house. His name has been struck from
the rolls of the 47th, and the commanding Of.
beer of the 10th infantry has been informed Of
his whereabouts. The lieutenant, who is thus
singularly disgraced, had previously dstin-
guished himself, not only by his soldierly
qualities, but by his personal daring on the
field of battle, Among the officers of the
post sense Of the justice which the erring
soldier has met is mingled with sincere regret
for the shame which has befalcn a brave and
capable officer.

Miscellaneous IynrNe,vs.

New YORK, Jan. 30.-A Port Royal letter
of the goth says: An exciting naval conflict
is believed 10 he impending in the Ogcochee
river, between the Montauk and the rebel
ram Fingal, said to be guarding the steamer
Nashville. An effort will be made by Capt.
Worden, under the orders of admiral Dupont,
to attack aud destroy the Fingal and capture
the Nashville. The Montauk was still close
to Fort Pulaski this morning, but is expected
to be ready to go to work in the morning"
Another correspondent states that heavy fir
ing was heard that morning, but there was a
dense fog and nothing definite was known at
Hampton Roads.
NASHVILLE, Tenn, Jan. pa feet of 30
transports and three gunboats-the LeXing
ton, St. Clair and Brillant-arrived here this
morning. While the Lexington was recon-
noitering above the shoals, she was attacked
by 200 guerrllas with three siX-pounders.
The boat was struck three times, but not dam
aged. She returned the fire and shelled them
from their p sition. The fleet was not inter-
rupted. The gunboats, with eight unloaded
steamers, left for GAINESVILLE at six p. M.
There is ten feet of water on the shoals.
New YORK, Jan. 30.-A New Orleans let
ter says -''The Harriet Lane is blockaded in
Galveston Bay. The rebels are terrifying the
island and fitting out the Harriet Lane, and
large numbers Of rebel troops are cOncen-
trating on the island to resist our attack. Our
fleet is large, sufficient to retake Galveston,
bat it is hoped that it will be able to recapture
the Harriet Lane without destroying the city.
We hear from the U. S. consul at Matamo
ras, Mr.. Pierce, that 1900 Unionists are all
organized on the Rio Grande, near Browns
vile, into two cavalry regiments. They have
horses and about one half are armed The
consul also writes that about 1900 more are
ready to join the Union ranks as soon as arms
andammuntion are furnished. Theannounce-
ment that the Banks expedition was destined
for Texas, and that Gov. Hamilton was en-
route with large force for the relief of the
state, has produced this organization"
New YORK, Jan. 30.-A dispatch from
Newbern says :-Governor Stanley's resigna-
ton was sent hence to Washington by the last
mail. 1t is based upon the presidents procla-
nation, which he strenuously opposes. The
army and navy, and the Union citizens here
are strongly averse to the appointment of a
successor, as the Office is not only universally
regarded as needless, but as a serious obstacle
TO the progress of our arms. strong move
ment is on foot here for the establishment of
a provisional court, similar to that instituted
at New Orleans. The president andmenbers
of congress have already been memorialized
on the subject.

TmIRrY-sEvENTH CONGRESS.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 30.
SENATE.

The bill granting aid to Missouri for eman-
cipation was considered, and Mr.. HENDER-
son moved to extend the final time for eman-
cipation to 1885 instead Of 1876 as in the bill
rejected, yeas Is, nays %. Mr.. HENDERSON
movedtO amend it SO as to make the amount
given $lf,000,000 if emancipation is COM
pleted in 1876, which after discussion was
withdrawn.
Mr.. WILSON moved an amendment as
substitute, providing for the payment of $780,
600, 600 if emancipation is completed by the
4th of July, 1865, but that no money shall be
paid for slaves hereafter imported, or to any
one who in any way has aided the rebellion.
Mr.. KENNEDY opposed the bill. Mr.. HARRIS
moved to recommit the bill to the committee
on the judiciary; agreed to. Adjourned.
HOUSE.
\ resolution was adopted that the general
in-chef inform the House whether paroles
have been granted to any rebel officers since
the proclamation of Jefferson Davis. A res
olution was adopted appointing special com
mittee to investigate charges contained in
pamphlet signed II. Belts, against the com
missioner of patents
message from the president recommend
ing thanks to commodore Porter for bravery
displayed in the capture Of Arkansas Post,
was referred to the naval committee.
Mr.. STEVENS, from the ways and means
committee, reported bill making appropria-
tons for the construction, preservation and
repair of Notifications; also appropriations
for the support of the navy for the year end
ing July, 1864.
In the course of debate Mr.. Wright opposed
the employment of negroes to help put down
the rebellion. He believed that by a recon-
structon Of the cabinet and a restoration of
Gen. Mcclellan to the army, the country
could be saved. (AppIause burst forth from
the galleries, with stamping of feet and clap
ping Of hands The speaker Tebuked this.)
Mr.. Wright said Mcclellan was no favorte of
his. He had never advocated him here, but.
believed no other general in the army en-
bodies their feelings and sentiments. If you
want to carry victory on your arms you must
have commander in whom the army have
confidence. Mcclellan was the heart Of the
American army, and should be placed in COM
mand. (The galleries again broke out in APP
plause.) Mr.. Wright continued: Let the
president make Il new and mixed cabinet rep
resenting the two great parties, restore Nc
Clelian to command of the army, and call for
100000 men who would rally to his standard
in an instant Adjourned.

ST.. Louis, Mo, Jan. 29.-In the case of
Benjamin Williams, Il black man, indicted for
grand larceny before criminal court, the
question whether he was free man or slave at
the time of the larceny-the 9th of January
was argued at length, the penalty in the
former case being incarceration, and in the
latter corporal punishment. Evidence was
elected proving that he was born slave in
Mississippi, but previous to his arrival in this
state-two or three months ago-he was the
property of Major Moilkarm Of Arkansas, who
at the time was prisoner in the hands of the
Union forces. Judge Cloverhas just given an
elaborate decision declaring the said prisoner
a free man by virtue OF the presidents pro-
clamation, and being once free he is forever
free, the judge knowing no power or law by
which a man being once emancipated can be
again enslayed.

Vigorous measures are in progress to Sc
cure the return and prompt punishment of
deserters now absent from camp. A heavy
snow storm, accompanied with a northeast
wind, set in on Tuesday night, and ceased at
an early hour this morning. A portion of the
snow melted almost as fast as it fell but the
remainder this morning measured about eight
inches on a level. The condition Of the roads
is Undesirable.
Gen. Couch is in command of the right
grand division, Gen. Meade the center, Gen.
w. f.. Smith the left, and Gen. Franz Sigel
the reserve 1t is thought, however, that in
Il few days general Reynolds will have COM
mand of the left grand division. The storm
yesterday was the most severe known to the
army of the Potomac. Much difficulty is eX-
perienced to-day in supplying the soldiers
with rations. The entire cavalry force not
upon picket duty were this morning engaged
in carrying food from the depots to the camps"

After reading the presentment, Judge Lud-
low said, 81 shall request the district at
torney to examine the document and frame
such bills of indictment as he may find to be
necessary in support not only of the laws of
Pennsylvania but of the constitution of the
United States. We can then arrive at the
question of the legality of the charges therein
contained. The record will then present de-
tailed charges, and the defendant may object
to the prosecution for any cause they may
have, and they may also have the Judgment
OF this court, and also the final Judgment of
the supreme court, in case they should be dis
satisfied with the finding of this court. The
grand jury were then discharged.
