JUDGE HALLS DECISION.

We publish in another column, the de-
eision of Judge Hall, on the hdbeds corpus
case recently heard before him. The New
York Tribune in referring to it, comments
as follows:
In the L. S. District Court in the State Of
Delaware, decision has been rendered by
Judge Hall, releasing from imprisonment in
Fort Delaware four persons, who had been
arrested, tried and convicted by the military
authorities of the United States in South
Carolina, in December, 1868. The prison
ers had been found guilty before a court
martial, OF which Gen. Devens was Presi-
dent, of having voluntarily aided in the as
sault made on the United States troops sta
1865.
Judge Hall ordered the discharge of the
prisoners on a writ of habeas corpus, on the
ground that the Military Commission was
without jurisdiction in the case; declaring II
as his opinion, that the rebellion had ceased
in April, 1865; and inasmuch as the Presi-
denis proclamation, issued in June, appoint
ing Provisional Governor for South Caro-
lima, ordered "the District Judge for the dis
trict in which that State is included, to
proceed to hold courts, " the State was in the
exercise of all its civil functions before the
issuing of the order for the organization of
the Commission by which the prisoners had
been tried and condemned. The points of
greatest interest in the decision OF Judge
Hall are that the Rebellion had ceased and
the authority of the United States was ac-
knowledged in South Carolina in April, 1865;
and that, after the appointment OF Provi-
sional Governor for any State, by the Prcsi-
dent, the military forces OF the United States
were without authority to arrest and try
persons before military commissions. The
practice OF the Government officers in all OF
the Southern States during the past year and
half, both under the Freedmen's Bureau
bill and Gen. Grants Order, are decidedly
against the position taken by the Delaware
will be sustained.

A Fenian Outbreak Anticipated

LONDON, Nov. 27-Noon-The Fenian
troubles in Ireland have assumed considera-
Die proportions, and there is no doubt that u
serious outbreak has occurred. Two regi-
ments of national troops were urgently or
uered TO Ireland yesterday afternoon, and
transports were being prepared all night at
portsmouth. A large detachment OF marines
was also sent over to Queenstown on the
war steamer Plymouth.
A gun boat at Chatham has been ordered
to sail for Queenstown Immediately. Much
alarm was felt at Cork, and, indeed, through.
out Ireland.
The London Times of this morning, be-
lieyes that the Chief Organizer, Stephens,
VIII soon arrive on the scene, IL, indeed, he
has not already.
The London Globe editorially hints that n
more serious trouble from the United States
Is really at the bottom of the Fenian out
break. A Geographic despatch was received
yesterday from Washington by the Minister
ot the United States at Paris. The despatch
was very long, occupying many hours in
transmission, and 1t is believed il relates to
the Mexican question.
The Morning Herald to-day SAYS that the
United States Minister, Mr.. Adams has re-
ceived the alabama claims A Cabinet
meeting will soon be held, when the case
will receive the consideration which its i'm.

EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT,
Dover, Nov. 21st, 1866.
The acknowledgment Of dependence upon
the Almighty Ruler of the Universe IS an
Obligation no less binding upon communities
than individuals. 1t is meet and proper at
all times to remember with gratitude the
fayors and mercies received from the Giver
of all good. Especially at that season Of
the year when abundant harvest has crown
ed the labors of the hushandman--giving
assurance of exemption from want--should
our thankfulness find appropriate expression.
We should also gratefully remember and &C
knowledge the merclful Providence which
has preserved the people of this State from
the pestilence so affecting to many portions
of our country, and, mingling prayer with
praise, invoke the Divine favor TO abide with
us in the future as in the past Let us also
remember that every blessing which we
enjoy as individuals, and every advantage
we possess as a political community, are
Vouchsafed TO us by the continued goodness
of the Father Of Mercies To the end that
we may suitably and publicly acknowledge
our obligations to the Divine being for all
past favors, it is deemed appropriate that a
day be set apart for special thanksgiving and
praise
Now, therefore, l, COVE SALISBURY, Gov.
ernor of Delaware, do recommend to the
people OF the State that they observe
THURSDAY,
The 99th day Of November, instant,
AS day of thanksgiving and praise, and in
so doing that they lay aside Tor the time

may seem meet and proper.

The New York HERALD ON THE
ATLANTIC CABLE.-The success of the
cable so far has been complete. The
electricians have been able to transmit
messages at the rate of eleven words
per minute with moderately light bat
teries and that is more than was ex-
pected. 1t is true that the cable may
not last for very long time. The
abrasion at the bottom of the ocean
may wear it out, and it will probably
become necessary to renew it every
wear; but there will doubtless be other
lines laid across the Atlantic in addi-
ton to the old cable, which is about
to be raised and reconstructed. We
may expect to find cable-laying hence
forth regular business.
There can be no doubt that the tele-
graphic communication with Europe
will revolutionize the newspaper bust
ness on both continents. 1t will tend
TO produce a condensation of style in
newspaper articles. Already we OBJ
serve, since the telegraph hasbeen es-
tablished throughout Europe, terse-
ness in the writings of the English
journals which forms strong con-
trast to the former long winded STYLE
ofthe magazine school, which render
ed the leading articles almost unendu-
ra5le The telegraph will bring us
back TO that succinct, simple and con
densed method of expressing our ideas
which prevailed in ancient times. The
early records of Greece, Egypt, and
Palestine, out of which ancient history
was made, were nothing more than
telegraphic notices, from which subse-
queut authors wove the web or authen-
tic history. It's evident that the OK
tension Of the telegraph system will
have a very marked effect upon the
habits of the world az
large. The telegraph teaches us that

gone by Condensation OF words to
