We published Last week the report Of the
difficulty between Gen. Sickles and Judce
Bryan's Court in Charleston, the former REFUSING
to obey writ of ha6eds corpus issued bv the
latter. The Washington correspondent of the
World says, in ausion to the affair ,h,, the
telegram from Charleston announcing that Stan.
tom had sustained the contemptuous DISREGARD
OF the writ of hd6cas corpus exhibited by Gen
Sickles, excites no little astonishmeut in we'll
informed circles here, as it is we'll known tha,
the President had determined two days ago to
issue peremptory order to Sickles to obey the
writ and to surrender the pris,ne ers concerned
into the custody OF the court. Blu. il seems
that Stanton was ahead of the President in
sending instructions TO Sckles. The President
now has the matter under advsement, and j, is
believed that he will yet reverse the orders of
the tyrant of the War Department..
