A writer in Hdrper's Mogasins for Aug
ust, in an article on the siege of Port Hud-
son, in which he makes repeated mention of
the Sth VT, tells the following curious incl
dent
In the first attack preceding the invest
ment, the colonel of NY. regiment pushed
his way up to an apron which projected from
the main works, and fought desperately till
many of his men were killed, and the rest
driven to cover. The Colonel was
in a dilemma, be could not ad-
vance or retreat, and in this extremity
he hoisted white flag on a stick, and sur
rendered to the part of the garrison imme-
diately opposed to him.
The white Gag was seen by rebel colonel
in advance of this position, and wholly mis-
interpreted. Never suspecting that it was
raised by a Union officer. be thought his
comrades had been overpowered, and COM
PEELED to surrender, and being disposed to
act honorably he hoisted white handker-
chief also, stopped the firing, and ordered his
regiment to file out through the sally-pOrt,
and stack their arms outside Of the intrench-
ments. The Union skirmishers who mingled
with them asking in astonishment what this
movement meant, received the reply. - We
suppose that we have surrendered" "
Unluckily no Union officer of intelligence
and standing, was at this point to take ad-
vantage of the mistake. The precious mo-
ments passed, and while the Union troops
looked on with wonder, mounted COnfeder-
ate officer rode out IN hot haste, placed the
colonel that had surrendered under arrest,
and ordered the regiment inside the intrench-
ments. Had the abandoned works been
promptly seized by our troops, it is possible
that the whole place would have surrender
ed. But the golden opportunity was lost,
and six long weeks of siege and thousands of
valuable lives were the penalty Of the failure
10 profit by the mistake of the rebel colonel.

Judicial district in New York-the Eastern,
Of Brooklyn-and that 1t was formed simply
to give sine-cure Office to the judge. As
bearing on this point. We notice that the
Brooklyn Union says that since January LIST
there have been brought in that court POI
civil cases in which the Government is a
party, for money due the Internal Revenue,
and 81 criminal cases. There have been l6l
distilleries seized other seizures of differ
ent kinds. 157. The number OF seizure
cases still in litigation, is 27. The proceeds
Of property condemned and sold for the ben
eft Of the U. S. have been little over
S400, 900, and the value of property still in
litigation ie about S2lO 900, of which $780,
900 in spirits.
This is Government Revenue business
alone adding all the private suits and
other Government business, and it doesn't
look like much Of sine-cure for either the
Judge or the District Attorney.
We may state that lately, District At
torney Tracy being most of the time engaged
in his duties as member of his Metropolitan
Revenue Board, the labor of the Office has
fallen upon the Assistant District Attorney,
Mr. JOHS j. ALLEN, who is youngest son cf
j. ID. Allen, Esq.. of this city.
