OrBBATIONB ON THE OUItBBBLAMD AKO TJUTSBa-
The chief feature In' military operations lit this!
vlolnlty is.the oconpatlon of’laaddle Tennessee by
: Hood’s army. ' Of the Investment of Nashyille you
are fully Informed via Ebnlsvllle, But lit the en
deavor to out off supplies from that point, the rebel
cavalry have struck/ the, Cumberland Ini three
’ places below Nashville, and by mean's of arttUery
fare seizing and destroying the transports. The
: Iron-oiads MOund Olty and Carondelet are at Nash
ville or rather cruising between HaTpetb Shoals
and that city (twelve miles), and have had several
iengagements with the rebel batteries, Invariably
driving themi off. Below the shoals We have- the ■
monitor Netfflho' and two or three lron-olad gun
boAte, but since tbe unparalleled saoceaß of (Jen.
Lyon ln baptuxing the three gmibdats on the Teh-'
nessee, the rebels have shown a very determined -
opposition, so that our, mosquito boats are rather,
cautiousabout faclnga battery on bluffs. "
Lyon’s force, .consisting of some 2,600 eavalry and
sixteen guns, struck the Tennessee river on the,
east bank, at Cumberland Landing, some twenty
miles above Fort Henry, where they captured the
side-wheel Bteamer Thos. E. Putt, on her way to
1 bring off stores ficom. Johnsonvilio, used her. as a :
ferry, aha Uien hnmea her. Thenpe 7 the rebels,
marched across to the Clarksville,'
abont twentyfffve miles distant; where they repeat
'ed the' same role. We are at a loss to know what
boats have been capturod on tiffs latter stream, hut
tile last boat, down, the Masonlo -Gem, states -that
she heard Bring on an upward-bound boat soon after
passing Clarksville, Possibly the (Jem was allowed
to pass down in the hope a- omit laden
i with supplies. A.' later report says that Lyon
erossed the Cumberland, and was moving toward
Hopkinsville, Ky., in the hope, probably, of reaoh
lng'-the-LouisviHe and Nashvilie Railroad. This is
nnddubtedly a bold and successful trip of the rebels,
though devoid of much strategic Importance. The
sieged Nashville cannot be maintained, but South
erhKentueky mid Middle Tennessee will bo stripped
of blankets and horses.

T-EACTOK PEAK.
; The United States Ex Bel, Peak v. Colonel H. A.
Prink, Provost Msrahal, &o. This caa«, Jjn wbich ilia
relator, who, being a contractor a* the TS#*f Yard,
is under military arrest; and in- confinement to ant wee
charges of fraud, tut., was again before the court this
morning. ' - ‘ '
- It will be remembered that at the conclusion of the
argument on Knox, for tbo United
States, stated tbat he bod been informed that a court
martial bad been convened expressly-Jor tbs trial of tbo
parties charged with these frauds, and that at the re*
quest Of-Judge CadwaJader, he agreed-to amend the re
turn to.the writ setting forth these facts.
• ThU vWas done; but yesterday he presented to the
- court a communication to the effect that a court-martial
had not beenaefuafij/ convened, but was the
intention of the-»avy Department prorapUy to order
one for the trial of these ca&es. "
Upon ihe points raiSedupon the argument on Monday*.
Judge Cadwalader then read an-opinlon. deciding
t Ist. That the 12th section of the act of Congress, July
17, 1662»-making contractors for furnishing suppuea to
the army and navy amenable to military law and trial
bj courts martial, was constitutional, because a per*
son, by making a contract, by that very act accepted
the condition imposed and waived his privilege asm
citfzen, and subjected himself to military law-~ M ea*
liete,” eo to speak. 4 -
: 2d. Under the act of July 4, 1864, authorizing bail iig
such eases, he decides that if any pereon who was be-*
fore a court martial actually trying him, or convened!
for that purpose, he is- to be regarded uin custody oT
that court, and he would not interfere. But not bsin*
on trial before such court, and none having been actu*
ally convened for -sush trial, the party should bepro*
duced, in order that the question or bail may be settled.
Be derides, in fact, that Feak is entitled to be admitted
tobail. <
The Judge desired, and again suggested to counsel*
that the officer making the return to she writ should so
amend his return as to express his readiness to produce
the body of the relator in court.
The Judge also said that he would like to have a re
argument upon the question as to whether the case of
ihe relator is within the scope of the act of Congress
and tbe President’s proclamation suspending the writ
of habeas corpus.
If bo, hts production cannot be required. The return
