The Wrong Doers.

Many were arrested yesterday for indulgence in
a certain jovial vice, and many more who in.
dulged were not arrested. Some, also, were
taken up for disturbing the peace Of the State, y
and many plotting against that peace were
not disturbed. What a triae will at times
disturb that peace Witness Judge Howell's
pronunciamento. can,n says Glendower,
"call spirits from the Vastly deep" AYE" en-
auires Hal "but will they come?' There are
many adages the judge should have remembered
when he was penning his proclamation, as thus:
g All's well that ends welln As deep as a well"
ETC., etc. And how well Howell ought to know
that some wells are dry at the very time pill
grims thirst most. What an unsophistcated
associate justice. The poor little leprGu-
chaam is to be pited. If 'twere done well
and done quickly, then 'twere well 'twere done
quickly" What's the difference between Rapid
and Rapides, Judge? You have delicate consti-
tuition Don't expose yourself too much, Judge
Woudnta subvent0n be as satisfactory as a con-
vention?
Hays's Brigade Relief Association.
At meeting of Hays's Brigade Relief Associa-
tion, held on Saturday evening" Major j. Gordon
Campbell, with some touching predatory remarks,
introduced the subjoined resolutions, which were
unanimously adopted, in relation to the late Lieut.
Edward G. C. Walshe, of the Sixth Louisiana
whose sudden demise was noticed few days ago
Major Campbell in the course of his remarks
mentioned fact, illustrating the heroism and de
votion of the youth Having been taken prisoner
in one of the battles in which his regimen
was engaged, he remained at Johnsons Is
land sixteen months. His father was chaplain
of British regiment in Canada at tht
time, and an uncle commanded regiment there
Lieut.. Washe was a bOy-he was nothing more
in years-of very delicate constitution, and tht
relatives we have mentioned, hearing of his con
diton, addressed Lord Lyons, requesting his infiu
ence to procure an amelioration of the situation o
the youth. The ambassador obtained an orde
from Secretary Stanton for the release of the lieu
tenant on condition that he should leave the coun
try, and pledge himself not to take part in tn
war again. The proposition was made to him, an
although he was suffering terribly at the time, h
rejected it, declaring that whatever the const
quence might be, he never would desert the caus
in which he had taken arms.
, Whereas, Death has removed from our mids
with blow as sudden and more unexpected tha
any dealt on the fields of battle through which
: passed our brother member and Comrade in arms
