Provost Marshal's Atten tion.

A Boston jury has rendered verdict
Of damages to the amount Of thirty two
thousand Gve hundred dollars iu favor of
Leonard Sturtevant against A Ii. Allen
for illegal arrest aud impri soumcnt.
Mr.. Stur.evant, at the outbreak Of hos
tilities, was transactng business in New
Orleans. He removed TO Boston and
was arrested and imprisoned upon charges
of di,loy ilty preferred BY Mr.. Alles. The
sequel is as We have above stated, but it
may be well TO reflect that, 10 such cases
a failure to satisfy the damages subjects
the defendant to Imprisonment.
We welcome this sign Of return to the
legitimate channels cf justice 10 the com
muDities Of the North. The omen is the
more au,picious because it is made visible
through the fog of fanaticism that envel-
op, the great citadel OF Back Republican
ism. When Massachusetts, leads the way
in pronouucing equitable Judgments upon
persecution, there is good prospect that
the example will be followed elsewhere.
Let the petty tyrants, informers aud
traducers, that have piled their infamous
vocatous with impuuity throughout the
past four years, prepare themselves 10 un'
dergo the ordeal Of legal investigation and
punishment. False imprlsonnout,it seems,
Is again 10 be recognized as a transges-
sion Of the law There is broad field
for justice to be buy in, il ihlt detection
There are huadrcd8 Of honorable and pa.
triolic citizens jn the North, who have
been subjected to outrages similar to that
for which Mr.. Sturtoyaut has recovered
damages. There are men, guiitlcss OF
crime, ho have langui,hed for months
III dungeons, their business interrupted
their minds cufecbed, their healths in
paired. their prospects in life blasted by
long and protracted incarceration.
From the damp and dismal vaults
where those victims of arbitrary power
and of false accusation have been imIuurcd
some have been dismissed only to be
transferred to luhatic asylums. They
have gone mad under the tortures Of cou-
fuement, harsh treatment and SUSPENSE
Others have perished miserably in their
prisons. Others have contracted diseases
in the dark and noissore solitudes of their
cells. Women, delica'eIy reared and
keenly susceptible to the shame and pri'
vations of imprisonment, have been torn
from their homes and families, and locked
up be eyond the reach of trial; all for the
expression of political opinion, r, in many
cases, at the mere in tigstion Of personal
enemies All this demands retribution
We are glad to see the first step TAKEN
We are no. dissatisfied to see that Boston
leads the way.-N Y. Daily NeUS.

their employees to work The Supervi-

structed to put on oil he force they co d
conveniently employ The highest wa
ges were offered aud soma four hundred
hands were employed with the under
standing that they were expected to re-
main until the works were completed. -
The repairs progressed finely, and now
Mr.. Hudson Owen, of this place, who
assumed general superntendence Of the
works, informs US that by the LIST o May,
the Wyoming Canal, from Northumber =
land t. Wilkes barre, will be in nayigable
order, at a cost of less than $50 900. -
Had the other Companies displayed the
sane amount Of energy, the whole line,
from one end 10 the other, could have
been made ready by the middle Of May,
at the latest Present appearances make
it very doubtful whether il will be ready
for boating before the season has half ez-

should be 90 disposed. The government mast

The initiatory action Of Congress shows plainly
that the tide Is swelling. II 10 not buncombe,
and We advise the Emperor Napoleon not to
regard it 80. There is an earnestness Of pur-
pose to lay deep and firm the future policy Of
this country-s policy strictly American, and
excluding European interpretation in the affairs
Of this continent No sentiment is deeper
rooted in the American mind than this, and the
country would 60 to war If necessary to main
tain it. We hope the Emperor Napoleon will
seriously consider these things, and act in .
manner that the old friendship Of the two coun-
tries may be pespetuated.
A military man who stands in the highest
position, when asked q short time since If q
hundred thousand men would be sufficient to
drive the French out Of Mexico. re-
piled, "Yes, sir; more than enough; twenty
thousand of my veterans would do it."
He did not underrate the bravery Of
French soldiers, but he looked to the fact
that we should have the mass Of the Mexican
people with rs in such war, and should have
q superior base and better means Of operation.
If needed, however, we could raise several
hundred thousand men--a great many Of them
veterans-almost at the tap Of the drum.
The world has Witnessed the military and
naval power as well as the boundless resour-
ces Of the United States, and we need not
dwell on them to show how capable we are to
meet any contest This country will avoid
war if possible but we cannot shut our eyes
to the possibility Of such an event. Looking
at the situation of things on the Rio Grande, and
at the spirit Of our people and the army, it is
not improbable that something may occur to
lead to conflict. Where an unfriendly or hos
tile spirit exists difficulties are likely to arise
and frequently great wars follow trivial events
under such circumstances. We regard it, then,
Of the highest importance that our government
should have a perfect understanding with the
Emperor Napoleon at once as to his position in
Mexico, and as to the fixed policy Of this coun-
try regarding the affairs Of the American con.
tinent.
