Now wherein does our correspondent assail
this bill In he first place we are told 1.-THE
officers composing it (the Court do not receive
the extra allowance of 81 % per day, nor any
allowances other than those paid to all officers on
duty in cities" Mark the italics. We will give
our correspondent the benefit Of his statement
that no additional allowance is paid, although
in doing so we set aside good evidence. Our
bill will then stand thus:

cording to the showing of our correspondent.
We return to the italics, nor any allow
ances other than those paid to all officers on
duty in cities" Well. we printed just the
allowances paid to "all officers on duty in
cities " and nothing more. We do not pretend
to say that the Doubleday people are better paid
than any other people similarly circumstanced.
They receive the usual wages, and as these al
lowances involve the payment of " nine officers,
twenty servants, one photographer and thirty
four horses" we think they receive enough.
We find, indeed, that in our anxiety to be fair
we erred in another respect. Our correspond
ent informs us that there is "a clerk whose
salary is S75 per month" Let us get the clerk
into line:
CLERK Hire for 40 days ....... $50 %

The second point controvertcd by our cor
respondent Is the item called Miscellaneous,
which we make to include "wtness fees,
horse.fecd, ushcrs, detectives, policemen, ay-
eraging on law estimate fifty dollars per
day." We SEQ nothing to show that this is a
high estimate We do not know what horse
feed costs in Philadelphia; but before the Gov
eminent furnished it in kind-that is in times
of peace-eight dollars per month were allowed
for each horse as communication for forage. AT
this estimate, which is about one-half what 1t
should be, the bills for feeding the thirty -four
horses that aid in composing this Court Martial
would be $l,269 81. Then we have witness
fees. We do not know how many witnesses
there were, but our correspondent tells US they
spoke 5000 pages Of manuscript. They are
paid three dollars per day and cost of travel.
They are summoned when tho Court begins,
held in attendance until it ends, and all this
time paid. Allowing ten witnesses to this
Court. tho bill alone would DO $4,000, not
counting transportation. Add transportation
and the extras that our Government people
know 80 well how to create, and it will be
found that our estimate is low. At all events
this critic docs not amend it, and 1t shall stand.
If no wished 10 correct 1t, why did he not SEND

prefer facts ct any time when We ean got taem'

Fish and Wightman, and Otis & Newell,
with their contents consisting Of merclIan-
disc, books, papers, &c, and four freight
cars entirely consumed.

About o'clock on Saturday night, last,
fire broke out in the rear of Otis& Newell's
Warehouse, at the Depot ofthe d. V Rail-
road at Eddyvile. The discovery was
first made by the Waterman Of the En-
CINE House, who gave the alarm. This
building was connected on the north side
with the Freight House Of the Railroad
south and adjoining it, was the Warehouse
Of Fish & Wightman, aud adjoining the
latter on the corner was the Passenger, all
the buildings named being under one roof.
The accounts at this writing, conflict in re-
gard to the quantity of goods stored in the
Warehouses, but the opinion is that the
quantity Of various and very combustible
merchandise, was considerable. The fire
soon spread to the. whole building, and
communicated to four cars on the track, one

Owing to the meagerness of the state

published Yesterday, purporting to give
the substance of President Johnson's in
structions to Gov. Humphreys, the Ma

"The troops will her withdrawn from
Mississippi when, in the opinion of the
Government, peace, and order, and the
civil authority has been restored and car
be maintained without them: Every step
will he taken while they are there, to en-
force strict discipline and subordination
to the civil authority. There can be no
other or greater assurance given than has
heretofore been on the part Of the Presi-
dent or Government There is no'conces-
sion required on the part: OF the people of

stitution of the United States, and the
adoption Of such measures giving protec-
ton to all freedmen, or freeness in person
and property, without regard to color, as
will entitle them to resume all their con
stitutional relations in the Fedeaal Union
& The people of Mississippi may feel well
assured that there is no disposition arhi-
trarily, on the parrof the Government, to
dictate what action should be had, but on
the contrary, to simply and kindly advise
policy that is believed will result in re-
storing all the relations which should ex-
list between the States comprising the Fed

,preciate and feel the suggestions herein
made, for'thsv: are offered- in that spirit
which should pervaae the BOSOM of all
those who desire peace and harmony, and
a thorough restoration of the Union. There
must be confidence between the Govern
ment ard the States; and while the Gov
ernlnsnt confides in the people, the people
must have faith in the Government. This
must be mutual and reciprocal, or all that
has been done will be thrown away.

: RAILROAD S,wITCHEs.-The New York
Tribune says that the butchery Of railroad
passengers by misplaced switches, is who'll
ly inexcusable. 1t can be utterly preven-
ted by very simple and cheap device
that of so constructing switches that u
train can follow one off the main track on
ly while a switchnian stands holding the
movable rail or switch TO the main track
by force exerted on bar or lever. When
ever the switchman lets go, the switch
should fly back, clear the main rail, and
leave the the track SO that no train could
possibly be ever drawn away from it. In
other words, all switches should be so con
structed that no carelessness or distraction
could convert them, into death-traps for
passengers or persons employed in the
running of the trains.
