The dismissal Of such proceedings when

" because a certain witness happens not

We have now stated all the facts con-

Emmons is accused Of being q sympa-

use Of some outrageous expressions a.
gainst the soldiers of the Union. We do
not know how much truth there may be
in this accusation. nor do we think this
proceeding was n in which il should be
investigated. If any one knows Of Mr.,
Emmons having done anything against
the government or is willing to swear to
his having made use of any expression
which our proper authorities, either civil
or military, would consider deserving OF
punishment. we ask that he go before
those anthorllies and make the proper

pathy for MIR Emmons, or men Of his
views which induces US TO speak thus,
but a conviction that nothing can save our
country from anarchy and confusion but
a strict adherence to the law. Without
enforcement of the law, property would
become worthless, and civilization would
be destroyed. and if the respectable por-

convinced that the civil authorities r
powerless, they would petition for a pro-
vost marshal and a military force. If
the conduct of these outlaws is to Le

establish a vigilance committee composed
of a few good men. 1t certainly cannot
be allowed that any individual, even the
most ignorant or criminal, should sit in
j%udgemdnt upon any Of our citizens and
punish him in any n he may
think proper. In conclusion we would
inform those who uphold such acts, that
our community is aroused and determin-

Of the Troops Ht Bermuda Hundred.
From the New York press we gather the
following details;
THE SCENE ON TEE RIVER.
The scene in the hszy light of the beau
tiful spring morning was picturesque and
animated. Crowded steamboats, labored
heavily through the still water, pontoon
trains and numbering canal bsrges, to be
used in disembsrking, we're in tow Of the
swifter transports The long low lines
and wedge-like shapes of those naval non
descripts, the monitors, with their high
| cylindrical turrets smidships, gave variety
to the scene. The swift Greyhound fits
among the slow-moving craft and slsckens
her speed an instant as she comes abreast
each vessel, allowing General Butler from
the hurricane deck to advance with all the
celebrity possible. Give her ali the steam
you can, Captain" shouts the General,
with uprsised csp, and as the crowd Of
blue oests recognize him they burst out vo-
ciferously in cheers. The scene, as we
pass up the river, is charming in the ex-
treme. The high wooded banks Of the
stream present US every variety Of deli
cate foliage with which the spring delights
to clothe the earth in vernal beauty. Oc-
cssionslly q house is visible over the
bluffs, and a man appears, beyond doubt
very much amazed at the sudden appear
snce 0f SO large feet Of invading Yam
KEGS. The trip up the river is unbroken
by any sign Of war.
LANDING AT FORT PoWHATrAE.
A company of colOred troops dashed up
the hill with General Kinks, and immedi-
stely the red flag with three white stars
indicating the Sd Division of the l8tb
Army Corps, flashed in the sunlight. Gen.
Kinks voice was heard above sll, and the
affair was as quietly performed as though
the soldiers had been going to church.
Immediately after, q solitary negro, who
had seen the "Linkum gunbosts Gomez
came jogging along the beseh on a horse.
stolen doubtless, in search Of " the year Of
jubiloE." General Smith here came m.
and was directed by General Butler 10
make for " Bermuda Hundred" 8 landing
above the AppomsttOx, while the Grew
hound was headed down the river to bring
up the other boats.
THE SCENE OFT BERMUDA LANDING.
The scene presented at this moment.
would charm any one but rebel. AS far
out as the eye can see, the Union sunboats
and transports dot the river, and more are
on the way. On shore, sll is bustle and
activity. As socn as the troops are land
ed, they are marched of and set to work
to throw up tn necessary intrenchmen,s.
Two or three important hills are to be on.
cupied, which will be done at once. These
are on the hanks, and, with the gunbosts.
will give US very strong position. The
iron-olads occupy the river, above and
around Turkey Bend, and 8 sharp look ont
will be kept for torpedoes, and other rebel
diablerie. Signal lights are flashing, bands
are playing, and there is the busy hum Of
large colony of Yankees. Before to-
morrow night the river may resound with |
the boom Of Yankee cannon. and tbe ring |
Of Yankee rifles, blended with the srtii7 |
lery and musketry of the rebels. Let ms |
sleep in peace tonight, and have faith in
success tomorrow.

Personal Habits Of Mr.. LIncoIn.

Mr.. Lincoln gets up at Eve, breakfasts at
seven, sends his private correspondence at
eight receives visitors ct nine, and the
members of his Cabinet at ten. At one
o'clock he takes light lunch, and then
starts in the performance Of the RESPONSE.
bic duty of President He goes from De-
partment to Department, and assists his
Ministers in what he calls 'running the
machine" At five o'clock he takes his
dinner, which sometimes lasts till seven.
From seven to ten he admits to his private
circles his most intimate friends, and
among them Slnstors and members of
Congress. At ten he retires, to commence
the neztday again the same kind of work.
In his hours Of ease, when free from re.
straint Mr., Lincoln is unusually tslka-
tive, joculsr and good nstUred, and is in
the habit Of reviewing his past history, and
Of speaking of his life in the woods and
on the river, when he was an obscure
bostman.
