The Danish War,

The Daaes SO far have met with discontinue
in nearly every struggle, and do not appear to
be anything like match for their assailants.-
They have been driven from their great line of
defence, the Dannewerke, and have been mainly
dispossessed of Schleswig..
New York papers state the news from st.
Thomas that a Danish gunboat and Swedish
steamer are preparing to visit that port, creates
some alarm among the German and other for
eign merchants in New York. 1t is thought
that the object of their coming may be to seize
Russian, Austrian, Hamburg, and Mechlenburg
vessels sailing from New York and other At
lantic ports II is said that the Hamburg steam
ers will be transferred to British owners as a
safeguard against the contemplated action of the
Danish man -of-war Aside from the Hamburg
steamers, the vessels in New York harbor liable
to capture by the Danes number twenty-one.

rb. Fredom convention AZ Loui.vilI,


The Border State Freedom Convention at
Louisville, Kentucky, yesterday adopted the
following resolutions:
Resolred, That the unity of this country with
the present form OF republican government state
and national, must be preserved and the rebel
lion suppressed.
ResoIued, That slavery was the cause of the
war, and is the great obstacle to peace, which
we cannot obtain until the principles of free
dom announced in the Declaration of Independ-
ence and the Federal Constitution are carried
into practice. The question whether slavery
is to be perpetuated or not is no longer exclus-
lively state, but a national one. 1t is, there
fore, proper that the constitution of the United
States should be amended so as to secure free
dom to every human being within its lurisdic-
ton. Such guaranty of individual freedom is
as necessary in the Constitution of the United
States as that of republican form of govern.

Bloody ARRAY and Excitement at Lancaster

From reliable source we learn the particu-
lars of a bloody and fatal affray which occurred
at Lancaster, Fairfield county, on Saturday last
the Doth inst, and has been followed by the most
intense excitement:
The soldiers of the 18th Infantry, one of the
re-enlisted regiments, organized at Lancaster
and commanded by Col. j.. M. Oonnell are now
at home on furlough. Something that had been
said or done by some of them had excited the
anger of one John See, prominent farmer and
Copperhead leader of the county, resident few
miles from Lancaster. On Saturday this man
and his son went to Lancaster on horseback, the
elder See arming himself before starting and, it
is said, expressing his purpose to lay out some
soldier before he came home. Arriving in
town, father and son hitcbed their horses in an
alley to the rear of saloon under the Talmadge
Hotel, instead of at the public square opposite,
as was their usual custom, and entered the sa-
loon which is said to have been place of Cop
perhead resort. There they found two soldiers
of the 18th, named Little and Nicholas, with one
of whom (Little) young See was acquainted,
who accosted him (See) with" George, l un-
derstand you are Colonel ofthe Copperhead mi
litial" aWell," said See, q" what if l am-wbat
business is it of yoursY
These words led to Others, and speedily
brought on a quarrel between young See and
the two soldiers; when Sees father, who had not
been engaged or spoken to in the quarrel, inter-
fered by drawing revolver and shooting the
soldiers on the spot. Nicholas was instantly
killed, Little lived until the following day. AS
soon as the soldiers were shot, See and his son
fled and mounted their horses, and got out Of
town as speedily as possible. Meantime the
alarm spread among other men of the Regiment,
who mounted such horses as they could lay
their hands on, and started in pursuit. The
young See was soon Overtaken and brought back
| to town, where some soldiers who supposed him
to be the murderer fell upon him and beat and
stamped him until he was taken up for dead,
though he afterwards rallied aud was alive at
last accounts. His father had not been taken up
| to Tuesday morning.

Cop.,,tuttouaIity Of the Soldiers Voting Law
Sustained


In the case of Phillip Short contestant, VS..
ArchibaI R. Ferguson, claimant being con-
test of felection to the Office of Sheriff of Sandus
XIV county. Hon, t. W. Barley, counsel for
Short, claimed that what is called the soldier S
voting law of 1863, was unconstitutional for
several reasons. amongst which are the follow
ing;
LIST. Because the law operated as repeal in
part of the former law, without pointing outthe
section and expressly repeating it,
On this point Judge Fitch held that the law
of 1865 was not repeating law, but supple
mental act.
ID. Because the law permitted persons to
vote away from the township or ward in which
they resided, and when applied to those out Of
the State, operated beyond the limits of the
State.
On this point the reasoning OF the learned
Judge was mastery and candid, but too elab-
crate to be repeated here, as no notes were taken
at the time. He met very fairly the reasonings
ofthe counsel in every particular, and after ex-
pressing his own view, sustaining the validity
of the law, added: That indeed the law was new
and extraordinary, and at other times might
startle us with apprehensiOns for the purity Of
the elective franchise, but did not for that rea-
son Justify him in holding it unconstitutional.
That ii was assuming greatpOwer to pronounce
the legislative enactments of a State unconstitu-
tional. Such decisions should only be made
when no doubt remained, and ought to be first
made in case like this by the highest judicial
tribunal of the State.
The law was held to be Constitutional
The attorneys for contestant filed bill of ex-
ceptions, and gave notice Of appeal

Gen. Fremnot writes to Maj. Gen. Schenk,
Chairman of the House Military Committee,
that he requested to be relieved from the army
of Virginia because he regarded the order
which reduced him to serve under Gen. Pope
as an unmerited insult" that since then he has
been waiting orders; that he was once promised
a command but did not get it; that he has kept
part of his staff, to have their services when he
should be recalled to active service; and that he
has drawn his pay, ''since the close of the last
session of Congress, to be applied where it might
alleviate distresses resulting from the war, and
it has been used accordingly
