The CASE Of the Liquor seized some time
since at the Express Office and the Rutland
depot came up Monday mor'g Z for trial before
Justice IIollenbeck. j. French and j. b.
Wheeler appeared for the State and E. r.
Hard for the defendants.
Constable White testified as to the seizurts
and the marks on the packages, and that no
one had appeared to claim any of it, except
one Mr. Mcdonald of Albany who claimed
to own all that seized in the Express Office
except two kegs The books of the Express
Company We're put in evidence, showing the
receipt and delivery of sundry packages, and
the emp.oyes of the Company testified as to
the delivery Of certain packages to certain
persons. Officers White and Huntington
testified as to their knowledge of some of the
parties to whom these packages were ad-
dressed and their ignorance of others. The
marks and names on some of the kegs are
apparently fictitious.
After hearing the evidence and argument
of counsel on both sides, Justice Hollenbeck
decided the seizure legal and condemned the
liquor. An appeal was taken by the claim
ants and the case will be carried into court.
The amount of liquor in question is over
600 gallons.

English Sentiment.

The late open avowal of the London Times.
that England wishes for the disruption Of the
{ Uni ed States eIcites considerable remark
We see nothing new in this avowal, though
1t is brought out in a more elaborate way
by the London Times Just now to counteract
the manly speech made by Mr.. Gibson, IN
favor of our national cause and in rebuke Of
the English policy of helping the rebels to
war steamers, &c. The same sentiment
one OF hatred TO institutions which recognize
the equality of men, and provide for the
election by popular will of all the legislative
and chief executive oficers.-the same dread
Of the influence of such government on the
popular mind of Europe, has been thrust be
fore the public from the influential circles Of
England, times without number, since the
rebellion broke out
Moreover, We suppose that from the out
set the determination of the British Minis
try and Of the great body Of the wealthy and
influential classes has been 10 have the rebel
cause get help in England just 50 far and
So long as it could be done without bringing
on an open war between the United States and
Great Britain. When, finally, Mr. Adams
letter to Earl Russell told bin that he should
offer 40 further arguments for effective iH-
terposition on the part Of the British gov
ernment to prevent the sailing Of the iron
clads building for the rebels by Mr.. Laird
that in bis belief. it was ''i1posss5ie that
any nation maintaining proper degree of
seLf-respect could tanieiy submit 10 a copfinu-
Gnoe Of relations so utterly deficient N reap
rooity''-that there was nothing left for hIn
to do but to transmit a copy Of Earl Russell
note "a note which said that they, the Eng
lish Government, "could not interfere in any
way with those vessels. , to hls government
for specific instructijns-E Earl Russell raw
that the limit o. safety wa reached. There
was then no longer any difficulty IN finding
authority to stop Mr.. Laird's rebel rams
from going to sea, and three days after Lord
Russell sent '' his compliments to Mr. Ad-
ans, and had the honor to inform him that
instructions have been issued winch Will /
prevent the departure Of the iron-clad ves-
sels from Liverpool"
Thus the English Ministry yielded to
fear Of instant war what they were previ- .
ously determined not TO yield from regard
TO honor and justice. We suppose that
hearty good wishes for the rebel cause exist /
as strongly a. ever, in the hearts Of the arls-
tocratic classes OF England, though they may I

The New Enrolment Bill,

1t appears that after so long debate and
the consideration of numerous proposed
amendments, and in spite Of the attempts of
Cox OF Ohio TO stave off final action on the
enrolment bill till another week, the House
came to a vote on it Friday last at late hour.
A substitute bill submitted by Mr.. Schenck,
embodying We suppose the amendments
agreed upon, was adopted and passed, yeas
90, nays o. The bill as amended has yet
to pass the ordeal of the Senate; but prob
ably will not undergo any great change or
be much delayed. The telegraphic summary
OF the bill in its present shape is somewhat
confused. The chief points of 1t, as report
ed. are as follows
l. In filling future calls, allowance is
made IN each enrolling district, be it city,
town, or election precinct, for all who are,
or have previously been, in the |. 5 service
from the same, according to the enrolment
lists in the L. S. Provost Marshal's Office at
Washington.
2. Substitutes furnished by ihoee drafted
must lie those who are not in the ser
vice nor liable to he drafted, and the fur
u-i,er snail he exempt as long as the substi-
tute would bc if not ~ taken II the sub
stitu,e is liable to draft on future quotas,
the one employing him shall Is babe To
drrft in his plzcg.

3. Money paid the government for the
procuration Of a substitute is to exempt the
one paying it only for the time for which
the person was drafted, and if the number
placed in the box Il exhausted the names
shall be returned.
The enrolment lists are to be correct
ed from time to time, by inserting the name-
of those who arrive at the age OF 20 years
and striking off the names Of those who ar
rive at the age Of IS years.
5. Members of religious bodies who ic-
clare on oath that they are c,n>cicnd,usiy
opposed to hearing arms and who are protil-
tied it by the rules and article, of their faith
and the practice Of their denominations. gud
who are proved to have deported themselye
consistently with such professions, when
drafted are to BE- considered nou-ccmlaunt-.
and assigned to hospital service or TO the
care Of freedmen, or shall pay $500, to he
applied to hospital service, as the Secretary
Of War shall direct.
e. No one is exempt from draft because
of having been in the L ;. military service
for any time less than two years.
:. Marines or able seamen who are draft
ed, have the right within eight days after
notice Of being drafted, to enter the naval
service.
5. Persons OF African descent are to- be-
enrolled as other, are, and al such whether
already in the L. ; military service or re-
cruited for it hereafter, are To have the cam,
pay and bounjies as Others have
.. The two classes previously made ale
consolidated. The exemptions, because o'
physical disability and from official station,
We believe are unchanged from what tlei
were in the former act 10 which this one D,
intended to De supplementary.

Battle-WOr Banners,
By PARK BENJAMIN.

.av the soldiers come to-day
From battlefield afar;
30 conqueror rode before their wav
On his triumphal car,
But captains, like themselves, on foot
And banners sadly torn,
Al grandly eloquent, though mute,
In pride and glory borne.
Those banners, soiled with dirt and smoke,
And rent by shot and shell,
That through the serried phalanx broke
What terrors they could tell
What tales Of sudden pain and death
In every csnnon's boom,
When even the bravest held his breath
And waited for his doom.
By hands of steel those flags we're waved
Above the carnage dire.
Almost destroyed, yet always saved,
Mid battle-clouds and fire.
Though down at times, still up they rose
And kissed the breeze again,
Dread tokens to the rebel foes
OF true and loyal men.
And here the true and loyal still
Those famous banners bear;
The bugles wind, the flies blow shrill,
And clash the cymbals, where
With declmated ranks they come,
And through the crowded street
March to the beating Of the drum
With firm though weary feet
God bless the soldiers! cry the folk
Whose cheers Of welcome swell;
God bless the banners. black with smoke
And torn by shot and she'll
They should be hung on sacred shriues.
Baptized with greatful tears,
And live embalmed in poetry's lines
Through all succeeding years.
No grsnder trophies could be brought
BY patriot sire to son,
OF glorious battles nobly fought,
Brave deeds sublimely done
And 50, to-day, I chanced with pride
And solemn JOY 70 see
Those remnants from the bloody tide
OF Victory,

Some Of the railroad men who are good
deal about the depot, have been considerably
exercised olfactorily, for the last day or two,
about a box which has awaited its owner for
at least three weeks near one OF the baggage
room-. They knew something was wrong
inside that box, for couldn't they smell it ?
Last night 1t was worse than ever before, and
as some of the men couldn't 90 near it the
stencil was SO great, 1t was determined to
take off the cover and solve the mystery.
With due deliberation this was done, and
the box was found to be full of-tne black

other now when they meet, is, ''Do you smoll

Several causes-more especially confu-
sion in the public mind from the different
calls for troops-have made the work of FILL
ing up the 18th Regiment drag beyond what
has been common in other instances. We
hope the work of recruiting for it will now
be pushed vigorously, and that patriotic IN
fuences from all sides will be brought to the
work. The known gallantry of Col. Ran
dali and Lieut.. Col. Cummings ought to act
as an additional stimulus to all who are any
way disposed to enter the service. The Reg
iment is to have its encampment while here,
of course, on the pleasant situation of the
Fair Ground, the ample buildings of which
have been well re6ttsd Cor its sesommoda-
ton.

THE GOVERNMENT LABoRAToRY.-In Phila-
lelphia there IL a Government laboratory, at
which are manufacturing all the compounded
preparations used in the entire armies of the
United States The work conducted there
gives employment to abOut-225 hands, male
and female. The manufactured facilities
provided here are a decided curiosity. The
drugs are purchased in a crude state, and
every specimen is tested by chemical ansly-
sis. The chemical and manufacturing appa-
ratus, stills, &c, are all of the first order of
excellence and completeness. So perfect is
the laboratory that the glass shoppers of the
bottles are ground upon the premises, and
the oandages for wounds are woven in the
establishment upon spindles provided for the
purpose.
The cellar Is devoted to the storage and
bottling of wines and liquors Tor medicinal
purposes. Whiskey, brandy and wines are
the liquors employed. None but the best
are procured. The last purchase of whisky
was selected from twenty three samples. Of
which the rest were rejected
The first floor contains the ANALYTICAL
laboratory, the mill rooms and the hacking
room. The microscopes are of the most val
uaoie Character, and the balances adjusted
with unerring nicety. The mill room has
SIX mills, with boiling cloths and appurte-
nances complete. In these. crude drugs are
pal'erized and prepared for administration.
a long one-story building behind the mill
room is devoted TO the preparation of tine
lures and extracts of these the production
IS enormous The contents of the largest
orug house would compare very insignificant
~ with the weekly production.
The second floor is vast pill mandatory,
where huge masses OF mixtures are divided
into globuIes by the delicate manipulation
OF soldiers wives, widows and cbiidlen.-
Plasters are also made here by the thousand.
and about ten thousand bandages Der day
beside. The bandage-making apparatus is
unique. There is nothing like it elsewhere
IN existence. This part OF the establishment
Is exceedingly curious and interesting. 1t
has saved the Government vast sums of
money hitherto wasted. and gives to the
