deserter from the United States Army at Fort Ham-
ton 1t appears that Meyers enlisted in the regular
army about four years ago. but deserted after serving
one year. On the 14th Of July last he was ar
rested by the United States authorities as
deserter and was ncarcerated in the guard house at
Fort Hamilton until his parents discovered his
Whereabouts, when they at once appealed TO the
order for the discharge OF Meyers whose enlistment
was illegal, tnasmuch az he Is o minor, and the con-
sent of his parents given TO his being enlist
ed In the arfny-such consent being necessary in
such cases. The order Of the Court was issued on
the 24th OF July, and he was immcd lately dis
charged, but was some time after rearrested.
A new writ OF haOeas corpus was then issued by
the Court, which was made returnable yesterday
morning. At the appointed time the commandment
OF the post at Fort Hamilton, Brigadier General
VOgdes, and Brevet Lieutenant Colonel J. II. Coun-
seman. United States Army, appeared on behalf OF
the government, aud Assistant District Attorney
Pearsa for the prisoner. AS the latter did make
his appearance IN court no proceedings beyond the
issue OF an attachment took place.
General vogdes informed the Judge that he bad

competent court upon "a writ OF habeas corpus for
the same offence and no order Of a Secretary OF
War or any other official can legaliZe the arrest
Those who detain prisoner arrested under SUCH
circumstances incur penalty OF l.25O TO be re-
covered in civil action.
General Vogdes said that the writ had not been
served upon him personally, and was about 10
argue the case, when the Judge informed him that
no return had been made TO the writ by the
production OF the prisoner. While the Court was will
ing to grant the government all the time necessary
to make proper return the law must be obeyed. II
the boy was not produced in court in obedience TO
the writ he should be compelled to Issue an attach
ment against those who detained him in CUSTODY
The General regretted that any complication should
arise from the case between the State courts and
the national authorities, and desired further time TO
confer with his superior officer.

became fixed, and without a struggle he
died. During the day he expressed strong
desire to see Gen. Grant, but was fearful
he would not live to do so. Soon after his
death his body was enbslmed and dressed
in uniform. After he had been dead about
an hour, Grant arrived from the whiskey
shops of Saratoga, complaining that he had
not received dispatch in time, or he would
