MIIITIA. ORGANIZATIONS.—The old ytti a organizations that before the war excited 80; rich admiration by their discipline and gallantry, . and which, on parade exhibited the strength and martial character of Philadelphia youth, have gradually disappeared, until now there is scarcely the skeleton of them left. At the call to arms, every re inient marched forth with alacrity and spirit. ere.was but little recruiting required to fill up 1 eir rank's, and the:members felt' privileged that y ey could go out as a body, with no additions from those - who had not long before subseribed their name(' upon the -rolla. On their return, and the •• chanc e - a g ain-of again - offered to " e n service, the regi f -mental organizations lost their adhesion. Lieuten. • ant colonels and majors wired to be colonels,. and . captains and lieutenanti to be colonels and majors. NeW regiments were formed, and many of the offf.- ' , CCM Of the old militia organizations entered earnest ly into the work of recruiting for new regiments. The old militia dwindled from its former importance, AO dietinotivoorganizationm..The war needed the ser ies) of every man capable of bearing arms, and there were very few of the old ~ holidaysi soldiers, as the militia were unjustly called, who did not volunteer. No , soldiers have earned such enduring laurels as the old militiamen, and it is mush' to be regretted that the militia system in Philadelphia is not now in that state of perfection, required alike by the ne cessities of the times and to provide for emergencies. The raids into Pennsylvania stimulated •us in this Matter, but much might yet be done towards an end universally admitted to be beneficial, In time of peace prepare for war, and white secure from rebel . invasion, time is offered to build up militia regi ments that would be effective in time of danger. The regiments suffer because of the necessary ex penditure required to keep them alive. Home rent, gas and other expenses, must be paid, and this re.. 'din assistance" from without. The Gray Re. .serves,-Blue Reaerves, the Custom House Regi ment, and others, yet maintain their organization, and hold regular drills. It is designed on the part of some of those regiments to request of Councils such pecuniary aid as may be required to maintain them nal lit them for All emergencies. AN EXPRESSIVE PIRTURE.—Mr. 0• E. Woods, at 1003 Race street, has just published a very expressive picture, representing the stalwart Ameri can choking a Copperhe.adsnake. This figure repre sents the sovereigtO of the people. He is in the sta• tude of beating the figure of a full fledged ." ;mouth." representing the sovereignty of the Slates. A fat speci men of'an English capitalist is standing near .by with an arm load of clubs, labelled, steam rams and blockade runners. Other clubs, labelled Bermuda, Atlanta, Ito., fAc., are at the feet of the American .victor. The representative of France seems to be Ur a dancing position, as though he suddenly trod pon a coal of fire, and burnt hie toes. In the back ground are loyal steamers. A dialogue is printed Under tie picture, full of meaning, compressed into a short space. -Beneath all are the following words: "Although all Copperheads call themselves Demo- coats, nevertheless all Democrats are not Copper heads ;" a truism that will be made manifest in the course of a little over a couple of weeks from this DEATH OF A CLERGTMAN.--110V. amen -TiLaginnis, pastor of St. - Matthews , Church, (bush°. hooks% .died 'on the 21st instant. His funeral will take place this morning. Ur. Alaginnis was widely 'known and universally esteemed. He had been in charge of St. Matthew's Church for many years, and ,no one exercised over the people of Conshohocken such an extensive and at the same time so hermit cent an influence. , REVIEW OF COLORBD TROOPS.—There will be a grand review =of the colored troops -at Camp William Penn by General Cadwalader this afternoon. It is expected that a number of dis tinguished civilians will be present. For this ex, pre,ss occasion the North Pennsylvania Railroad Company will run special trains, starting at 2 and ax o'clock this afternoon. The regiment is nearly full. and said to be exceedingly well drilled. THE CHESTNUT-STREET-BRIDGE.—The construction of this bridge progresses very slowly, nor can it be stated with any definiteness when the iron - arches will span the river. - The - chief difficulty, lithe want of workmen.- High wages are orfered, but masons cannot be had, even at high wages. Sel dom before have the arohiteoto of this;city had such abundance of work, and so few men to execute it. • PERSONAL.—Major B. Rush Plumly, whO his recently , returned from New Orleans, gives a flattering account of the progress of recruiting, in that city; for the colored brigade. He states that lour full regiments of infantry, and one of artillery. Will be probably raised within thirty days. DEATHS AT THE ARMY HOSPITALS.—The following deaths were reported yesterday at the Medical Director's office: Satterlee Hospital=-Cleo. F. BfaOray, corporal, 00.

There was a large sprinkling of the lesser lights'otthe bar, who gather their inspiration from the great apostles -who, It was announced, were to hold forth, ands small gathering oz Democratie politicians and those personally interested in the question before Lae court. Beyond this there was nothing to indicate that any political qnestlon wee tieing discussed; certainly nothing to induce the thought that One =labial no much has been said pro and conwas 'ander consideration. On the court's Ibeing formally opened by the prothono • tary, , Chief Justice Lowry said they had met this morn ing to near the motion granted by- Justice Woodward. The paper books in the case were then banded up, and . the thief Justice inquired who was on/ the other side. Messrs. Chas. Ingersoll, Geo. W. Biddle, Geo. Id.Whar. to n, and Peter McCall appeared for the complatinantS, but the United States did nut appear to be represented., Mr. Biddle stated that he has supposed Mr. Coney. the United states District Attorney, and John C. Knox,Esq., would appear for the United elates, bat that they were not now pi esent. Paper hooks had been furnished them at their request, and Mr, Wharton hail been informed by Mr. Coney tnat it was his intention and dellre to be present at the argument. Mr. • Wharton also elated this as a fact, and Mr. Ingersoll added his testimony to that ' of his colleagues on this point. e. The Chief Justice,said, that unless there was an ap- Pewter= for the United States by Mr. Knox, they. could not recognize him as an Attorney for the United Scats" This rather confused the programme of proceedings for moment, and Mr, Ingersoll hastened to the redone. He had sent paper books to Mr. Knox, in response to a note from teat gentleman requesting them, and asking whether he (Mr. ingerSoll). was bare that the court wonlo sit on the 10th inst. . . It appeared that notice had been given to bir. Coffey. and the court ordered that the 'necessary proof be made of melt service. In the meantime a messenger had been despatched for Messrs. Coffey and Knox, and he returned with word. that they were out of town. Mr. Bide Is then said that, under the impression that those gentlemen would be present, he and his colleagues had arranged their order of proceeding. As they wore not present, however, it would remain tor the court to say how many counsel they tveula. hear. The Chief Justice said that thsy could not break through 41 err regurar rule. that there being no reply there could be no rejoinder. They would hear two cases, and, there lobe, only two counsel. ' It was then arranged that Messrs. Wharton and Inger soll should conduct the argument for the complainant. Mr. Wharton, having' nret made the proof of service of notice, accordingly opensilthe case. Oar readers will weigivhis'argument as its merits entitle it to be weighed: One part of his opening, however, was so unwittingly destroyed by a remark from the Chief Justice, that we are tempted to separate. it .Dorn the rest. After stating the mode adopted by the act, he said he believed the act to be in substance a copy of the French conscription law, That law' Was Well enough, under an imperial or despotic system, the tteory of such a 'system being that certain persons, wso cannot help it, are taken to light, and those who can help it, remain 'at home and farmeh 'lnc Chief -Justice inquired of Mr. Wharton if he had a copy' of the French law.' . Mr.' 'Wharton replied that he had not, and. therefore, he had stated that our act was believed to be a copy of the French law. He had endeavored tq obtain`a copy of , lt,-but had not been successful : ' - .Excepting this little episode, the argument went on smoothly - onongh. Mr. Wharton said: Itis•proposed to argue the question before the court as one of mere constitutional law. The point to be determined is the legality of the as serted Power of the Federal Government to „compel the military service of the citizens of the United States by, direbt'action upon them. The mode adopted in the con- ' mutton act of March 3, 1863, is to enroll the entire male population between certain twee, and to select from the mass, persons by lot. The latter are the soldiers for the • • time beingynnless they purchase their exemption from This act is supposed to be a copy, in substance, of the French conscription law. That law, le well enough under an imperial or despotic system.

I gzee a well regulated militia as necessary to the secur it yof a free State. The coneception act by' no means carries out, but on the other hand, infringes - this axiom .. - It may be said that if the Government can compulsori ly take, at its own pleasure. the entire male population of the- Union, or 'any arbitrarily-designated portion. , - and make soldiers of them against their will,' the mode , : -of accomplishing the end is nnimportant. /I.selections . by lot, or draft; Is asserted to be a fair mode, If, on the' •••othernapd. the Government cannot do this, neither can, iteelect portions of that population, in its own way, and kforce them to serve in the army. Thrquee,o4l, therefore. comes to this; Has the Go- Vaninent of ,t,he .• United States the constitutional -right' to force or impress citizens, at will, to enter the ranks alls' soldiers; and thin; too, with the privilege, to those who". are able, to - doles), to bur an exemption, which their Poorer n eighbors cannot purchase? It must be notedthat it hi 'animation of the power of the Federal Government — not of any State Government. The former possesses only .those powers which are ex. pressed or by n ecessary implcation conferred upon it' , by the Consttution: ( Martin vs. Hunter, 1 Wheat, 304. Briscoe vs. The Bank, 11 Peters 457.) The latter has reserved powers of sovereignty. While: the powers con ferred upon the Federal Government are supreme, those not conferred continue to exist either In the States re spectively' or in the .people: (Martin vs. Hunter, r ut ortyrra) We must turn, therefore, to the Constitution, of • the llnitett States for a solution of the Question before the court. - The power of Congress to pass and enforoe the con scription setts supposed to be found in the twelfth clause of the eighth sectlokotthe.firet. article , of the-Federal'. Constitutiori,:4hloll,- enumerating the power? of Con grese, grants, in the,particular clause, power 'to raise gnu support armies; and. further,-tne power .posed . to'be - foundinthe fifteenth clause of the same sec tion and article, in the words, "To provide for calling forth the militia to execute the laws of the Union, stm prfas insurrections, and repel invasions." The 18th clause, which is the last of tke same section, invests Congress with power "to make all laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into exe cution the foregoing powers, which are those exPresslY c eNzrated and granted, and which include the two net It le admitted by all writers that this last clause con tains no independent grant of power. Is the power claimed under the conscription act vested in Congress by the clauses of the Constitution re ferred to?' To construe properly-any portion of the Ccinstitation we roust look at the whole instrument. If that instru ment embodies and aleerts principles of human liberty, we must construe"obiectionable clauses in such -way as to preserve those principles rather than to destroy them. The power bailable armies May certainty be construed so as to give Congress the power to raise them by voinn-, tory enlistment. The history of the legislation of the United States shows that the power has been construed in that way. Laws have been passed. starting from the foun dation of the (3 ovei nment, which have provided for en listments in the army of the United States. Under the exercise of the power in that manner, such armies as the Union from time to time has raised have been raised and, on the otherhand, it may be asserted that, until the passage of the act of March 3d last, no statute had been passed by Congress enforcing military - service. That act is a novelty in the legislation of the United .States...-Seventy-four years after the organization of the Federal Government, and after our country has passed through several wars without the attempted exercise of the power by Congress, the ludiciaryis called upon for the first time to decide the constitutionality of the measure. If the, power of Congress is confined to raising , armies by 'voluntary enlistment, then the reserved power -of - the - States to enforce a draft by their own authority. in order to keep - troops in time of war—and, further, a like power in the States to organize and maintain a militia— will both be preserved, On the contrary, if the power of Congress over the sub ject-matter include the power of conscription,. and cover the entire male .forte 'of. all .the citizens of the United States, then the reserved, powers of the States in the par ticulars referred to cannot bep reserved, because they cannot, be prosaically exerted The State forces disap pear, because absorbed by the Federal forces. That the generality of the words "to raise armies". may be properly restrained, is shown by considering the connected -word "support:" Congress 'has power to !raise and support armies. Armies may be supported in various ways. Contributions for the support of the mili- ' t ary might be levied indiscriminately, on the citizens• _consequently, pillage and destruction might he indulged So, armies may be supported by means of Potgrees, in a legitimate mode; acquiring the'necessary - money, arid then paying thereout the officers and men, No one doubts that the latter is what is meant by the Constitu tion. Congress having, by other clauses, power I& bor row money on the credit of the United States,d also to le*, and collect taxer, &c., in order to pay debts and pro vide for the common defence, the support of armies raised under its authority would naturally fall upon the treasury of the Union rather than be considered irichiwge directly upon the property of the citizens, to be levied ' tbereout, either generallyorby lot. - ' ' • But it may be asked, What powers of the States, or` what other powers con'erred on Congress; are infringed by the conscription act? • The answer, may be thus give - 'A well-regulated militia," the Constitntibi says, • "is necessary to the security of a free State. The right 4 of the people, ,therefore, to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed..,' ; - • The Constitution - further says Congress shall have . power- "to _provide for calling forth the militia," arc. ; "tor organizing, arming, and disciplining -the militia, and for governing such_part.of them as may be employed in the service of-. the United States, reserving to the States, respectively, the appointment of the officers, and the authority of training the militia according to the dis cipline prescribed by Congress." Further. it says: 1" The President shall be Command erin-chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the militia of the several States, when called into the actual service of the United States." • The States re prohibited only "from keeping troops in time of peace" without the consent of Congress. Tim right is reserved to them to keep troops in time of war. These various provisions distinctly recognize and affirm the existence of militia and other troops raised by State authority, as bodies diderent altogether from armies of the United Slates. Now look at the conscription act - It declares that " all able-bodied male citizens of the United States, and persona•of foreign birth who shall have declared - on oath their intention to become citizens under and in pursuance of the laws thereof, between the ages of .twenty and . forty.flve years," with certain slight _exceptions, shall constitute the motional forces, and shall be liable to perform military duty in the service of the United States, when called out by the President for that purpose •' - When called out by the President, therefore; the whole military force of the country becomes a Federal force, andt subject to his, orders. It ceases to• be the militia, or any part thereof. The militia of the country vanishes for want of material. There remain no sub jects out of which to constitute a militia, You may call • the so-styled national forces the regular army, or give them any other title, but they are the whole military power of the country. The entire military force of the United States is thus placed' absolutelycinder the com mand and at the disposal of the President. He is the judge of" the'exigencies of the service," and may assign the force to such military duty as he may designate. (See the thirty-fourth section of the act.) Does the Constitution intend this? Did its framers ever contemplate such a result? What becomes of State military organization? What becomes of State militia officers,•when they themselves may be drafted as privates into the Federal forces?- - Of - what portion. of the people of Pennsylvania, fit for mili tary duty, does the Governor continue to ne the com mander-in-chief after the inauguration of the draft? It affects not the argument that only a portion of the people Nat any one dint, called out by the draft. The whole people are subject to the President's call. The twelfth, section7authorizes him "to assign to each - district'the number of men to be furnished by said district." This call may entirely break up any and every State militia Organization.. The Constitution then 'contemplates the regular army of the United States, which is constantly under the com mand of the President, as eomething distinct from, the militia of the States, which are only occasionally and emporarily under his command. The two were to co exist—the other to give aid, when necessary, to the other—but neither to absorb the other. The act not only places millions of men at the disposal of the President, but millions also of money paid In by unwilling conscripts to purchase exemption from ser vice.- There is no express power in the Constitution given to Congress to compel, by arrest, citizens to enter the army, and such a grant is not necessary in order to carry out the power to raise armies. On the other hand. the fourth article of the amendments declares that " the right of the people to be secured in their persons, homes. papara, and effectleagaintit unreasonable •searches and seizures shall not be violated." It is an unreasonable enlarge ment of the power to make it subversive of personal li berty in the point of military service. ' ' The, act does not profess,in. the preamble, to place itself upon any express or particular grant of power by the Constitution. - It speaks therein of the duty of Go vernment to suppress insurrection and rebellion, &c. , and, as a military force is therefore indiepensable, it de clares that all persons ought willingly to contribiste to raise and support one for these high purposes; and, founded on this loyal duty of the. Government and this mural duty of the c,tizen,the act proceeds to compel people to do what they ought thus willingly to perform, The act, therefore, makes the citizen perforce a soldier. Is' this, in, conformity with the power to provide for calling forth the militia? We think not. : . The militia "of the States "is clearly meant. There is no militia of the United States. The militia, when called forth by the President, are to go into the service of the United States, to be, there employed, and they are to be commanded by the President. They are to be called forth from the States in order to be employed, for special purposes, in the service of the General. Government. They are to go into this service as militia. They become or have become such by organization, arming, and disci pline, and enter the Service of the United States in this organized condition • They are not individual citizens, enrolled as such, but they are a body - of officers and pri vates, and constitute a military . Ohs pecuniary clause requires special notice. It Is the thirteenth sect', D. It. is illegal; because unequal in. its operation. It compels to .service in the army the man unable to hay the exemption money, whose labor is essential to the support of his family. it exonerates him whose labor 'is not essential to the maintenance of his family, as is•shown by hie ability to pay the three: hurt- _ dred dollars. •It is unjustly oppressive, therefore, on the Poor. The money of the rich man goes to provide a substitute for himself, not for she poor conscript. The exemption money -is not a voluntary payment. Yet it is neither a fine or a penalty. Ibis a tax. It pur chases immunity from apaaticular draft—jut as the pay." ment of a sum on importation of merchandise purchases the right to introduce it into the country-for sale. Its imposition, therefore, ought to .be regalated by cor .responding clauses of the Constitittion. - Congress has plenary power over every species of tax able property except exports. But two .rules have been prescribed for its guidance—the rule of uniformity, and the rule of apportionment. Three kinds of taxes—dn ties, imports, and excises, are to be laid by the lint rule, and- capitation and other direct taxes by the se cond. Indirect taxes may be imposed on expense or con mention. Hylton vs. the 11. 5,. 3 Pal. :171, The exemption money, under the conscription act, is a: direct tax, It should be laid, therefore, according to the ••rule of apportionment. This rule is not followed is the case in hand, nor is it so pretended., . The money raised under the present draft, if all were able to pay and -did' pay, would amount t 0.590,000. OW. This immense sum is to be paid to the nominee of the Secretary of War, and to be, by the latter: expended in . procuring substitutes. Of course, it is to be disbursed in bounties and expanses. The views put forth above as to the true construction. of the powers of Congress to raise armies and to provide for calling forth the militia, are, in' the general, clearly supported by the authority-of" Judge Story, -In his com mentaries on the Constitution, the'subject is fully,clis fussed and the authorities cited and commented - on , In • hook &I, ch 21.1174, and'follewing sections, the first of . 'those powers is treated. In • oh. 22 of the , same book, section, 1194, &c., the power over the militia is the sub ject of commentary. Those chapters: generally, are referred to, in support of this argument. . .The leafing calm of Martin vs. Mott, 12 Wheat., 15. while it decides 'that the• President is the sole judge of the exigency which may require the summoning of the militia, and there is no appeal from his diecretion in the premises—and further, that the President's requisition may be directed to any , officer of the State well as to :the Govereor—at the sam time recognizes dis tinctly the existence "of the militia'as an organized body in the States, and furnishes no warrant for the principle asserted inthe conscription act. A few words as to the remedy. • - - The act of June le, 1836, gives to this court the Power and juriediction of a Court of Chancery, .so far as relates (among other things). to the prevention or restraint; of the commission or continuance of acts contrary to law and preuidisiat to the interests of the community or the • rights in . This is (as staled in the bills) emphatically such a case, if the law be as we contend. The Constitution of the United States is the supreme law of the land. .There can be no pretence of interference ofjurisdiction between the State and United. States courts. It is not'contended th at there may not be an appeal from the decree of this court, if adverse to the constitutionality of the act, to. the Supreme Court of the United States, under the tWen ty-fl.th section of the Federal judiciary act of September 24, 1789.Ableman vs. Booth,•21 Howard, 506: The authority of .Ableman dc•Booth should-not be oar eed beyond the point of that case. It was a writ of ,error to the-judgmeet of the Supreme Court of terticon sin, The Supreme Court of the United States proceeds to decide the constitutionality of the Act of Congress which was then before it, and pronounces it constitutional. On the basis 'of that axiom, it is held that within its consti tutional power, though also within the territorial limits . of a State, the 'Government of the United States is ea pren e. It constitutes another severe ignty, and the state. , sovereignty whether comparatively inferior or not, cannot act out of its own jurleciction and within the limits of another sovereignty. One sovereign and his officers may rightfully disregard the process of another The question, however, to be settled is the fact of inde pendent sovereignty. Whether the United States is sove reign or not, within the limits of - a State, in the exercise of any particular power, depends upon whether they have a constitutional right to exercise It. Who or what tribunals are to decide this question?.ls it to be corn 'nutted exclusively to the tribunals of the United States? There is nothing in the Constitution of the United States 'which says so. It would be unressonable,th a question .between a•State , and the General Government, to hold that the latter Was to decide all questions of interfering sovereignty for herself, • - It is a sufficient protection to her to give her Supreme Court the - ultimate right of decision, upon appeal from the highest State tribunal; and that right is conferred by thejuniciary act, which is, in itself; a sufficient argu ment that the State tribunals have the authority to act 1 3Pell a case in the first instance—otherwise, the greatest encroachments might bemade upon the rights of a State, without even the opportunity of a judicial protest from her courts against them. • • Again, it may be remarked that there Mno attempt, in these cases, to disregard or interfere with the proctom of a court of the United States. There is no canoe pending in any court of the United' States as there was in Able man vs. Booth, with which the process of this court could interfere. The persons against whom this writ of injunction le asked are individuals not professing to exe cute any process of a Federal court, but simply claiming to be executive officers, carrying out the provisions of an ace of Congress, and therefore claiming to exert an au thority under a statute of the United States. Whether that statute is censtitutional or not, will de termine the character of their acts under it. There is no. interference with the process of a court of the Union in deciding that the doings of these persons are uneonstltu trona]: This will be exactly what the Judiciary act, in one tof its provisions, contemplates on the part of a State . . . Nothing is said in this argument about the act of March 3,1663; "relating to liabeas corpus and regu lating judicial proceedings in certain cases," because. lint, no - question has yet been'raised as to the right of, removal of these causes to the United States Court; and, secondly, if- the application were made the answer Would be found in the fact that that act relates to ' gaits or prosecutions, civil or criminal. for treapasses or wrongs done or committed, or. any act omitted to be done, by virtue or under color of any authority derived from, or exercised by, or under the President of .the United.• States, - or any act of Congress ," Such is not the conditioh of the present case. . - After Mr. argumentad concluded, Mr. Ingersoll fol lowed. Hi did not add anything to that of his colleague. which, as far as its theory was concerned, was exhaustive.' At the conclusion of hie address the court adjourned.

The newly-married couple took hoardina and lodging at the Ball's Bead Hotel, on Market street, abort, Tenth, where no cloud interrupted their sunshine of p.eapure and. happiness. 7.a. week Passed . away. On Monday evening, the 7th inet, the newly married couple took a trip to . West Philadelphia, where he treated her to ice took_ and other good things, talked of the fine weather; and descanted on the battle mines lot which be bad been engaged. Pending the conversation, he excused himself for a few moments, and left her in the saloon. -Elie waited there for an hoar or two, bat he did not return . . The greatest anxiety now seized upon her ;:-the moat dreadfl . forebodinge racked her brain; she was fearful, that' some . evil bad befallen him.. She , searched the. neighborhood, made every inquiry, but nowhere could she bear anything of her newly-made husband. Worse_ than all, at such a moment, she found herself two miles west.of,tbe permanent bridge, at a hour, and with• out even so small a sum as would mince to pay her fare in the cars. Of coursers/ie. had , toi.walk a distance of three miles before reaching the Ball's Head, Rare ebe soon learned the 'state -" of the case, facts that 'appalled her very soul. Her husband,' after absenting hlmrelf, as above :stated.. took passage • in a car, and ' arrived in a short time at the among ot Here he helped hims el thuser valise. containing; other valuable things,nm of .$l3O and some Jewelry, with which he started out. He was met bytbe, landlord. and had a conversation with him. The gay deceiver," as the husband had proven hithself to be - by this time, said that be was going out to make some pur chases for Ms wife. This is the, last she _heard of him.' On the next morning complaint - was. lodged with the authorities, and on Tuesday night she met him by ac.• cident in the street. She had him arrested. and yester day afternoon appeared against him to substantiate the charge. He was committed in default of $2,000 to answer Fully Committed.

(Before Mr. Alderman White.) .Larceny of,,Wwol. f At 'an early hour yesterdaty morning Officer Shell ar rested a man named George Elaych, who had in his pas session a bale of wool, the Weight of which was about as much as he could well stagger under. The Prisoner was made to carry the bale to the Union• street station-house. 'The accused bad a hearing,, and, not giving a satisfac- tory account as to the possession of the wo - G, was coin.' mitied, to await further developments. Some time after this two men, named Charles Bender and Charles Schot, were arrested,at-the instance'of Mr. B. T. Mcalcurtrie,an agent of a transportation line to,New York, who charged them with heing implicated in the stealing of the wool, These two men were employed on board the steam pro peller Mars,iying to the Delaware' at Chestnut street wharf. It seems that Messre t Benjamin, Bullock, & Co., extensive ,wool dealers. on Front Street, had - shipped ,thirty-six` bales of thh fleecy material on the prepaller.: Ma ra,.bound for New York:, One of - the firm proceeded , to the Union-street - station-hones; and there identified the property found in the possession of Flaych, as stated, Mr. McMurtrie. the agent , entert tins the opinion that it - would have been impossible for the bale of wool to have been stolen' without the concurrence of the two men whom he had arrested. The trio will bare a final hear ing on Saturday afternoon at four o'clock.

Ile did belong' to the 106th Penn sylvania, but was'discharged. Hid wife, notwithstand ing this, continued to call upon the committee and get her weekly allowance of $1:75 per week, the greater part of which, it is alleged: she spent for ram. Some of her neighbors had frequently warned her that she was 'do ing wrong. but sbeheeded them not. ', Mayor Henry :having-heard, of 'such cases, deputed otircers Adams' and Russell- to attend the committee on disburtement day lo ,detect the impostors, if possible. They achieved success ny the arrest of Catharine Rush. She was committed to answer at court. Persons who have any-evidence of similar impostors are respectfully requested to lodge information with either of the officers named, -It is the desire on the part of•the Committee on Relief to see that all families entitled to the, fund should receive a share. It is the duty of the citizens to shield as much as possible the committee from imposition.
