Major Alonzo W. Adams, OF the lst New
York cavalry, has been tried by court-martial
upon charges of "breach of arrest" falsely
and maliciouSly trsducing the character Of a
brother officer,' misbehaviour in the pres

In his power, to capture or destroy the enemy"
conduct prejudcial to good order and mill
tary discipline" conduct unbecoming an off,
Ger and gentleman" and found not guilty.
The following remarks are appended to the
finding Of the court;
And the court does, therefore, honorably ac-
quit the accused, Major Alonzo W. Adams, 1st

The St. Louis Repu6lied'i, since Gen. Grants
visit to that city, says, edltorially, Gen Grant
is not going TO trouble himself much concern
ing these movements Of politicians. II is not
to his taste. His intention Is TO close the war
as soon-as possible, as he wants to be foot
loose, not hampered by political entangle-
ments. He asks no other duty now. He is
not, and will not be, a candidate for the Presl-
dency at the forthcoming election, and politi-
clans may trim their sails accordingly"
The Cincinnati Commercial, OF late date,
speaking on the same subject, says; eve have
authentic occasion for saying that under no
circumstances will Gen. Grant be q candidate
for the Presidency, or permit his name to come
before national convention for such pur-
pose, If his positive declinatlon Of the honor
will prevent II; and, SO far as his opinions are
known, he is In favor Of the nomination and
re. election of Mr.. Lincoln"

Confidence Of the Conredsrates Abroad.
We print below some extracts from letters
lately received from an intelligent correspond
ent In London, by gentleman in this city.
The circumstances TO which the writer refers
deserve attention, whether full credit Is given
to all that is stated or not. II Is unwise for us
TO neglect any indication which at this critical
moment may have any bearing upon the future
course of events. If we now make any mis-
takes, let us be sure that they are on the safe
side. Forewarned, let US be foroarmed. The
extracts are as follows;
"January 8, 1S64.-Southern men, OF various
grades, are here in London and In Paris also,
as thick as blackberries in autumn, and appear
to have money plenty enough.
They have somel hidden hope ofgreat events
10 come of soon in their favor, bat are too
close TO let II be known, whatever 1t may be.
But Of this rest satisfied, they have NO more
intention Of closing tho war now than two
years back. They say against spring, when
they come to meet you in Georgia, away from
you down like grass" &C., &c.
January 20.-The feeling here and In Paris
amongst the rebel refugees Is more exultant
daily. They look forward with great certainty
10 some coming events that are to turn the
course Of affairs in their favor Immediately.
Believe as much of this as you will; but they
certainly have some hope beyond the common
as TO tho coming spring campaign. This IL
evident enough, and there appears in the com
munity stronger feeling than usual, for which
| am unable 10 account, that the South canno
be subjugated to the end Of time. follow you
views and look for victory and the end Of tn
war In one year"
january 3d. don't know how 1t Is, bu
the rebel party here have money at command
and are so joyous and exultant that II quit
staggers most people TO know the why or tn
wherefore; but that they look forward to somt
wonderful change In their fortunes is very evl
dent, be whatit may"

sEAMEN FOR THE NAvY-VALUABLR
PRIZES.

The enrolment act, recently passed, provides
that seainen enlIstiDg In the navy shall be
credited on the quota Of towns where they are
enrolled, and authorizes transfer Of scamen,
not exceeding ten thousand in number, from
the army TO the navy. This latter provision
Is understood to be intended TO meet an imme-
diate want OF the naval service, there being
about twenty vessels at the present time de-
tanned from their intended stations by the
want of crews. All prior legislation has tended
to the increase Of the land force at the expense
of the navy; the bounties offered by both Gen.
eral and State governments, together with the
fact that seamen were not credited on the quou
of towns, operating to deprive the navy of the
men who have been educated on the water and
who legitimately belong In Its service.
seamen receive no bounties, but share liber'
ally in captured prizes, and many Of them, We
are happy TO learn, will receive amounts sufii
cient to place themselves in comfortable cir
cumstances. In the distribution Of the pro
ceeds Of the prize steamer Memphis, the sea
men received 81, ,736.SS each; the ordinary sea
men 81 ,350.Ss, and the landsmen 81 1,157. 81
The same men will receive additional amounts
for other captures, making altogether a very
handsome sum. seamen who have been OF
the Santiago dc Cuba during her present cruis
will receive between two and three thousan,
dollars their share In two Of their prizes alon
(the Britannia and Victory being s997.31 each
Ordinary seamen for tho same two capture
receive $69s.12.
The prize steamer Lodona-being only one o
the captures Of the Unadllla-gaVe to seameI
s66o.09 and to ordinary seamen s513.4O. Thes,
are not by any means isolated cases-the net

THE au1oKsILvEn MINING CASE.

The arguments In the case OF the Quicksilver
Mining Company has now occupied the atten-
tion of the Supreme Court for three days. Yes
terday and to-day the claims Of the Govern
ment have been presented by Mr.. Wills. HIS
first position, which he maintained with great
cloarnesS and force, is that the whole question
OF survey should be referred TO the Surveyor
General Of California. In support Of the po-
sitlon he quoted the decision Of the Supreme
Court made several years ago, in which the
Court refused to do what tho Quicksilver Com
pany now ask them to do, and also a similar
question decided In another case at this present
term. He then introduced the record evidence
Of two Surveyor Generals of California, sta
ting that II left TO themselves they should so To-
cate the tract as to place the mine upon Gov.
ernment land.
cd. As this tract is to be located inside Of
certain boundaries containing greater guam,
tity to be selected at the election of the grantee
subject TO the executive regulations for the
survey Of public lands in California, the party
must be considered to have elected to take thai
portion which he first occupied and has sine,
sold. In support OF this he introduced thu
executive regulation requiring the surveys Il
be made as he claimed, and the fact tina
Lorios, through whom the Quicksilver Com
pany derive title, built his house and occupied
the valley land, and has sold off certain por
tions of Il. Hethen introduced diagrams show

sHLLABER, (Mrs. Partlngton,) } OF the Boston
Saturday Evening Gazetfs, who advocated In parti-
ran fashion the election Of Ensign StebbinGs," a
military peace candidate, to the Presidency In
Ie6l-2, was at the time suspected Of being under
foreign influence. The manner In which he treat
ed US in the last Gd5ss for having dared TO perpe.
trAte q Joke upon Louis Napoleon and bis wife
shows that the suspicion was not without founda'
tion. We forbeAr to relate how the ONCE Of the
CdTpd Bag, the stebbings organ, was near being
mo6bsd on certain occasion by Native Americans,
Gov. STONE, of Iowa, issues a proclamation
prohibiting persons liable to draft leaving the
State. There were indications OF an extensive
stampede TO Idaho.
Mr.. JESSE SnEMoSDs, of Lindeborough, N.
H., has shot within the past three years % minks
which he sold for S36l. In addition to this he has
caught 1900 partridges, and sold s76 worth OF musk
rat, fox and other furS. In the summer he carrier
on a farm and in the winter he gets out hops.

PUnLIC SENTIMENT IN NORTH CAR
oLlNA-FEELING OF THE N ,ssKs
We copy the following from the North Caro-
lima Times, Goth inst., published at New Berne,
N. CT II "
Frem oil we hear and learn, We think we are
entirely warranted In saying, for tho intorna-
ton Of the friends Of the Union, not only
In North Carolina hut throughout the country,
that the result Of the recent rebel raid 10 TINS
locality has done no harm, but on the contrary
has tended TO strengthen Union sentiment.
Men and women who arc heartily for the Union
arc now more bold and decided than ever IN
giving expression 10 their opinions.
The very fact that the rebel General PiekeIt,
with his large army, was hurled Daek IRON ,i ou
| rnmparts, and compelled TO retreat, Will teno
| to create a deeper feeling Of discomfort than
| ever throughout the interior OF the states.
/ Whnn the masses Of the people see and know
| tbat Federal power and protection are planted
40 diu,ly in Eastern North Carolina as 70 DEFY
every assault that can be made, then will II
become transparent that resistance any longer
Is actual madness and suicide.
The quartering OF Confederate troops upon
the people OF the Interior TO "eat out their sub
stance % and awe and worry them into submis-
sion, will never effect the wicked object de-
signed. The fact 10 becoming more patent TO
observing and intelligent men every day that
the great masses OF the people IN Nortn Saro-
lima regard the so-called Confederate Govern
ment, as the most intolerant and Infamous
despotlsm ever instituted among men, and that
they are deeply anxious 10 place themselves al
the earliest moment under the protecting folds
Of the national flag.
We cannot for a moment doubt that should
a strong federal force move directly 10 the
Capital Of the State and unfurl the old starr Cd
banner from the capitol building, II would b'
l. - al, nF ttaNa Inv hv n
thousands who are now living under the Dayii
despotlsm, By such q demonstration as thii
(Which we pray God may be soon) the tint
will be hastened when North Carolina will joy
fully and proudly take her position as one o
the loyal and FREQ States Of the Union.

IMPORTANT ARREST OF CoUETHRTElTERs.-
Two men named Lewis Dolman and Henry
Hughes have recently been arrested for coun.
terfeitlng the United States postage currency
the former at GAINESVILLE and the latter at New.
ark, Ohio. Dolman had $500 OF the " stuff u
in his possession when arrested, while Hughes
had 81 800. These men belonged TO q gang
who had their headquarters at Newark. The
plates gotten up by them are excellent, and thu
notes-especall Of the denomination OF nifty
cents-are we'll calculated TO deceiye. Dolman
has served eight years in the Ohio peniten
tiary, and is an old hand at the business. Thu
gang has been entirely broken up, and the
community thus saved from being flooded with
these cOunterfeits.
