70 The Philadelphia Press of Saturday
comes to us in full mourning in remembrance
OF the assassination of President Lincoln Q
EB A correspondent of the Washington
Chronicle gives the particulars relative to- the
recent reported arrest of the guerrilla Mosby.
Its stated that he appeared in the streets of
Leespurg wearing his confederate uniform,
and remarked several times that if any attempt
was.made to arrest him he would ''raise aforce
large enough to massacre every Yankee in the
place."dNo attention was paid to his insulting
! language at first, and he finally walked up
! toward the military headquarters and posted
himself conspiouously in a corner, where he
was approached by Capt McCauley, and in
formed that he could not wear SHAT uniforll
in this town." Mosby replied. "sYou have met
men enough to prevent me-" Upon which
Captain d. returned to his headquarters and
in about fifteen minutes Mosby was seen foot
ing it" with remarkable velocity, across fields
and fences towards the. Catoctin Mountain;
where all good skirmishers co." pursued by a
squad of United States skirmishers, who fired
at him once or twice without effect le ',l
,as GB@The New York Citizen three months
ago predicted the establishment of an Irish
Republic " somewhere upon the face of the
earth with port, navy and an army before
the LIST of April. iUndismayed by the failure of
its prophecy, the Citizen now says, SIT is not
against Bermuda, but against Englands agrees
sions on the American right of fishery on the
Canadian banks, that the Fenian expedition
will strike its first blow"
- BB The Washington correspondent of the
Boston Advertiser writes of the. President
There is no warrant for calling him a traitor
he is not false to his idea of the Union; nor
is there any warrant for calling him "a rebel
he has no desire to see our nationality broken
up He is simply apolitician-a tricky, schem-
ing politician. We shall make surer and faster
progress in the work before us if we keep this
fact well in mind" to nsF -ag4 a.f ir,. B
DB-The Secretary of State has just made
report ont the present condition of the Fishery
question in answer to an inquiry from the
House of Representatives suggested by Mr..
Raymond. The general effect of Mr. Stewards
communication, is reassuring. A force is to be
sent to the fishing grounds for the protection of
our citizens, but the Secretary explains with
some emphasis that no reasons for apprehen-
ding collision exist, while cautiously wor-
ded statement gives the country to understand
that bothour governments and that of Great
Britain are considering the question of adjust
ment. =
gB-The third of DIR. Hamlin's communica-
tons to the Christian Mirror in relation to
cholera, published in that paper last week., has
been put into pocket form for convenience and
better preservation. These letters Of DR..
Hamlin's are of great value at this time, of SO
much value, the Mirror observes, that some of
its contemporaries have considered them of
sufficient Importance to be republished -
though githout credit. A Boston publisher
has also issued the first letter in neat form
but without any credit. All these have copied
an error in the Recipe, which DIR. Hamlin con-
sidered of importance enough to be corrected
in his secondletter. FFET ON
EHA case under the Civil Rights Bill is al
ready reported. A colored man in Ind brought
a suit, on the 10th inst, to enforce a contract
against white citizen. The defendant set up
a plea that the negro came in the state in viola
ton of the 18th article of the constitution of In
dianna, and is thereby debarred from all right
to enforce contracts. The plaintiff demurred
to this that the article in questionIwas in oppo-
stion to the letter and spirit of the constitu-
ton of the United States; that it conflicts with
