VILLAINoUs.-At Camp Berry yesterday
we saw two soldiers. Germans, who could not
speak one word of English, who were mem
bers of the 5th New York Artillery, and who
received furloughs of absence from Dec. rs to
Jan. 25, to go to Rouse's Point. They were
got hold of by some scoundrel Of substitute
broker, who enlisted them here and made of
with their bounty-they supposing that they
were being taken to camp for the purpose OF
being returned to their corps. After being
taken to Camp Berry the furloughs were found
upon them and Major Rollins wrote to the
commander Of their corps to know whether
they were genuine. He received an affirma-
tive answer. The time of one of the men ex-
pired this month, the other has two years
longer to serve. By the articles of war they
are held as deserters, but it is probable when
all the circumstances are known to the Court
Martial that will try them, that they will not
be punished. 1t is great pity that the
scoundrel that enlisted them cannot be got
hold of and brought to drum. head Court
Martial and be summarily punished.

Tenth Lecture-M. L. A. Oourse.

This lecture was given last evening in City
Hall before large and brilliant audience by
DR.. Holland, Timothy Titcomb). His theme
was "Cost and Compensation" and most ably
did he discuss it. The lecturer is close OBJ
server of men az <.Iings, and knows how to
convey his 1eervations to Others in the best
chosen words Of our language. We like bis
style of writing, and certainly his manner
of speaking is interesting and pleasant
We have not time or space to speak Of this
lecture as its merits deserves; besides, it was
50 full Of excellent thoughts and Illustrations
that the columns of our paper could not con-
tain 1.-THE of them. His allusion, in the close
of his lecture, to our soldiers who have sacris
feed their lives for the good of their country,
was beautiful and impressive. He could look
over and beyond those many graves and see
mountains of compensation in the distance,
whose tops were already gilded with the dawn
of peace.
The eleventh lecture of this course will be
given by G.. W. Curtis of New York next
Wednesday evening. 90 Il OI9

With the exception of the testimony OF j.
T. Gilman, Esq.,-who stated that he wrote
the article in question, that at that time he
was only an editor of the paper, and that Mr..
Foster was absent from the State when the
article was written and pubished--the day
was taken up by Mr.. Woodman in reading to
the jury editorials from the Argus, commenc-
ing as far back as December 1860, to prove
that the Argus was disloyal. Judging from the
papers on Mr.. Woodman's table, from which
extracts are to be read, we should say that the
case would occupy some days.

B1lNp MAN,s ooNcEnr.-Prof. CAIRNS,

BLIND MANS CoNcERT.-Prof earns, a
wonderful musical genius, will give concert
this evening at City Hall. The Professor
comes to US highly recommended as a very
remarkable proficient in the musical art. His
vocal powers are really astonishing and place
him high Ia the ranks of vocalists. As an in
strumentalist he has acquired great skill aud
he performs some fests in Instrumentation
which no other player has ever reached. AL
though his natural voice is a baritone, yet by
persevering practice and cultivation, he is able
to sing tenor, alto, treble, bass and sub-bass.
The compass of his voice embraces four &C.
taves and half from the lions growl on GG
in the bass, up to the bird-like tones on BIB
in alto. These are great :eats, and the public
will be anxious to witness his performance.
He will be assisted by Miss Drew, who is a
lady Of fine elocutionary powers. She will fill
the intervals by reading selections from the
Poets. Reserved seats for the concert NAV ne
had at Paine's music store.
