" prepare her for a short sea trip. This trip was
ne purchase of the vessel private speculation.
On the 8th inst after becoming ready for seq, the
vessel seized by the Custom House authorities,
on the order OF Secretary Boutwell,, under the plea
Of an Infringement OF the neutrality laws. An arrna
ment OF four cannon had been placed on board, to-
gether with small arms, ammunition, seventy-hve
men, sand. the necessary provisions Expana-
tions were however, made and the Government
became satisfied that the vessel was merely intended
for the Government Of Hayti. She was, therefore,
released, and Mr. Sidney Oaksmith, who has acted
as agent Of the Haytien Government in the affair,
will sail in her tomorrow.
The Haytien Rebels against the Government of
Salnave are said to have offered MIR. Oaksmith an
advance on the purchase money OF 200 in gold
II he would turn the ram over to them. The cannon
on board are two 150 pound riied guns on pivots
firing from the front and side ports, and two 100
pound broadside ri1ed guns. She Is under the COM

tefnber 1861, under the name OF the Fingal having
on board several batteries OF Blakely guns, and
otI er munitions OF war, all OF which were landed in
vannah. During the following January she at
npted to leave that port with q thousand bales Of
ton, but was prevented by the gunboat Wissa-
exon. She was then unloaded and converted into
tron-clad, first under the name OF the Georgia, but
bsequently under that OF the Atlanta.
On the oath January, 1s63 she was ordered to en-
kge the Union blockading squadron, and, in the
yer, countermanded and on the 7th June she

Port-au-Prince for New York came into this bay
and landed six young men who had run away from
Salnave. These young men confirm the 'pronuncla-
mento' OF Victorln Chevalier against Salnaye, and
also that OF his joining the rev0lutionsts with all
the forces under him. As you already know, this Is
the general who surrendered the town OF Gonalves
20 the revolutionary party two months ago. After
this he was appointed by Salnave to the command OF
the forces besiegng Jacmel, which position ne occu-
pied until the 4th OF November, when he yielded TO
the revolution and declared himself against Sanave

the day After the 5th taking with him all the pckets
that had surrounded Jacme for fourteen months, he
marched on to Portau-Prince, in company with
General VII Lubin, warm partisan OF Salnave.

IA fort near P0rau-Prnce) in the name OF the revo
luton. But VII Lubin having taken possession OF
N1e fort In fact continued for Port-auPrtnce, and
thus divulged the plan of action to Salnave.
(Vtctorin, learning the detection OF Vii Lubin, re-
fteated to Liogane, and was marching against Petit
iOaye and Grand Goave, there to join the rebel
6rmy from the south, when both armies will resume
their march on to P0rt-au-Prnce
Sanave fs making preparations to receive his foes
pnd Is fortfying the town. He Is intrenched In his
balace and swears that he will play his last card
here, and, sooner than surrender, he Will blow up
the city and burn 1t to ashes before he abandons his
seat OF government
This afternoon the news of the taking of Cape

Important Legal Decision.
The Supreme Judicial Court, in the case of
Thomas Kershaw VS.. Albert II. Kelsey, has de-
cided in favor of the plaintiff. This was an
action for rent of plantation in Mississippi,
leased during the war by citizen of Mississippi
to citizen of Massachusetts,, and for corn used
on the plantation. The defendant had begun to
cultivate q cotton crop, when he was driven off
by guerrillas. The defense before the jury was
q surrender and cancellation of the lease, but
the plaintiff having obtained verdict the case
was taken before the full Court upon the ques-
ton OF the legality of the contract The Court
decided in favor of the plaintiff, upon the ground
that the lease of plantation in Mississippi and
the delivery of corn thereon were not acts of
commercial intercourse, nor prohibited by the
law of nations, or by the act of Congress and
the proclamation of the President.

Pfaff against Petetiah B. Osgood, to recover
thirty-two casks OF lager beer, the defendant
contended that it was sold in violation of the

structed the jury that if the lager beer sold was
intoxicating liquor, within the meaning of the
law the plaintiff could not recover. The jury

Walker is again martyr to her idea OF reform In
dress This afternoon she was walking on Main
street, when her peculiar garb struck Policeman
Kelso as not being exactly the one that lady should
be dressed in. He Eooped upon the feminine dis
penser OF pills and powders and marched in triumph
with his prisoner to the Recorders office. A crowd
OF idlers followed and once again the bold doctor
found herself "the observed Of all observers" But
didn't her capor catch lt?" Yes, indeed she sailed
into Kelso and her words of burning scorn and in
dignaon almost set his teeth edge. She peppered
away at the public functionary until the ofice of
Recorder Sutton was reached, and then blaZed away
at the City Marshal, but he soon stopped the wordy
torrent OF invective the little lady was heaping upon
him. The Recorder dismissed the case, and Mrs

Robbery In the CleVeland Post Office.
The Cleveland Leader of yesterday has the fol-
lowing:-
some thieves entered the post office building, and
breaking two letter boxes took possession of their
contents and marched of. One of the boxes con-
tanned letters for the Second National Bank, and
the other for Henry Wick Co., bankers, corner OF
Bank and St. Clair streets The thieves opened the
letters, locked through them, and then placed the
letters. envelopes, and drafts contained in them
in the iron letter box at the post office door. 1t is
supposed that they returned the letters and contents
before ten O'Clock. Whether they brought back all
the letters or not cannot be affirmed. There may
have been money contained in some OF them which
was retained. This cannot be determined for some
days yet Saturday morning the clerks went to the
post office usual and found the pane OF glass in both
boxes sroken and stained with blood. On entering
the office pile OF letters, drafts, and envelopes
were handed 10 them. The parties who committed
the act handled their plunder with great care, and
deserve card OF thanks for returning everything in
such good order.

When the greenback was first issued by

others, the president of one of the Phil

has since been impressed upon the five
