Walker, Wise & Co., of Bos ton, to fprrn one of their popular series including the “ Pioneer Boy” and the “Fanner Boy.” It is a narrative of the boy-life of the eminent Secretary of the Treasury, Hon. S. P. Chase, whose prominence among the candidates for the next Presidency, as well as bis distinguished'services in his impor tant Department, renders his biography of interest to tens of thousands of readers. We are assured that the main facts in the sketch are entirely authentic. The au thor is a well-known literary man of wide reputation, author of the article, “A First to Washington,” in the Atlantic Monthly ' of April. Among the, numberless books i now-a-days published for the young, none | are at once so fascinating and so useful as \ the class to which tlie forthcoming volume 1 belongs; books which, while presenting truthful incidents in the early experience of distinguished publicjpen, exhibit bow, by adherence to certian fixed principles of ac tion, by honest industry, and conscientious discharge of the smallest duties, they have risen, often from -the humblest stations, to eminence ; and from obscurity, have come to possess the respect and admiration of a whole nation. Such books cannot be too widely disseminated. No town or vil lage in the loyal States but can employ the service of one agent, at least, in its circulation. The volume in question will be ready about the first of April, and sell, we presume, at the price pf the orthere of the series ; viz., $1.20. Cuangks. —Considerable change has been made in the location o* the offices of the different departments of Penn’a R. R., in this place. We note, as follows ; —Robt. Pitcairn, Supt. of Tninsportation, has re moved his office to the room formerly oc cupied by W. H. Wilson, chief Engineer — John Reilly,. chief clerk of Car Record Dept., occupies the room formerly occupied by Jos. M. Wilson, Resident Engineer of Middle Division. B. F. Hose occupies the room formerly occupied by John Reiley, while chief clerk of Maintenance of Way Department. The room formerly occu pied by Mr. Rose has been tilted up for Messrs. Darlington and Kitchell,'clerks to General Superintendent.' The room for merly occupied by H. Pitcairn is now oc cupied by Messrs. Gemmell and Garrett, Train Masters of Middle and Pittsburg Divisions. E. S. Hutchison hits taken the place of John Reiley as chief clerk in the Maintenance of Way Department. All the offices connected with the Main tenance of Way Department are in the new brick building, corner of Annie and Emma streets. “Kin” Prisoners. —-Since our last is sue, several train loads of our “deluded Soulhren brethren,” who bad fallen into the hands of the “Yankee vandals” in some of the scrimages in the Southwest, have passed over the Penn’a Rail Road, East ward, on their way to secure quarters in some of the Eastern forts, or to be exchang ed for some of the starved Federel soldiers in “Libby Prison”or Belle Isle. While one of the trains stopped in this place, some of the “Johnny Rebs” took a notion to run off. Some four of them succeeded in get ting out of the train, three of whom es caped and the other was halted by bullet which struck him about the legs. He, at feast, discovered that such an undertaking was rather dangerons. Alter these ma njEUV the cars were more securely guarde d We understood that the three who escaped from the train referred to, have since been arrested and forwarded East. On Saturday-evening a train of ten cars, filled with Rebel officers, passed East. Important Spit,— A case involving the liability of the Penn’a R..R. Co. for dam ages incurred by permitting the State Ca nal to get out,of repair, Came up in the Su preme Court on last Wednesday week.— The plaintiff' owned three boats which, up to the time the works passed into the hands of the Penn’a R. K., lie alleges brought him great profit. He alleges that since the purchase of the Canal by the company, they have so managed ps’to render it un fit for navigation. He sets down bis ac tual loss at sip,ooo. «rWe have: scajeely a reader who has not a volume or two of. magazines that should be bouhd up in older to preserve them, or that has not one, or more, books about his or her house that is now being destroyed for want of reminding. Look them* e subsequent ly sold at a premium, the mqonnt of pro fit thus realized must be returned as the income from business, and the tax will be three or five per centum as the rase may be. Tak. Johnstown Homicide.— Last week we Stated that the jury had returned a verdict of “murder in the first degree” against Moore, indicted for the murder of Marbourg. The court sentenced Moore to six years imprisonment in the Western Penitentiary. We give the following extract from the charge of Judge Taylor in reference to the main point of the defence, viz; “that the homicide was justifiable under all the cir cumstances”:—“The defence,” as stated in the opening argument for the prisoner, “is two-fold; “First,.that the homicide was justifiable, ; under all the circumstances. Upon the proposition here stated, it is surely unnecessary to dwell a minute.— We are surpridßl, indeed, to hear ii asser ted or hinted even, here, whatever' might be said elsewhere, that if the prisoner was at the time a responsible agent, this is, or, in any possible view of it, could be, a jus tifiable homicide. Justifiable! There is no ground for a reasonable doubt that the deceased had committed adultery with his wife, or.that ho had sufficient reason for that belief. His terrible earnestness when he uttered it, added to the evidence of the guilty intimacy which he had discovered, -and had of course involved her, it is no doubt true, as he said that she had “con- Jested it." But, if he had caught, them in the very act and instantly killed Marbourg, it will not be claimed surely that our law would ho|d him guiltless. It would not have . been justifiable homicide. That would have been such a provocation as would have reduced the killing to man slaughter. That is all. Bui he would still be guilty of manslaughter. We are told that the Jewish law punished adultery with death ; but that is not the law of Pennsylvania. This Court and you, gen- iemen, have not been sworn to adminis- ter municipal laws of the Jews. Our law has not made adultery ti {capital offence — how could it justify the infliction of that ? Or, if that were the penalty, iiow would it justify any injured party in taking the law into his own hands, be coming the prosecutor, court, jury, and executioner, and in sending without a trial, or an hour's warning, the accused culprit into the presence of his God ? To come to such a state of things would, we submit, be “progressing backwards.” “There would be exceedingly wild work taking place in the world.” Judge Park well remarks, “if every man were to be allowed to judge in his own case.” If he may claim to do it in one case, why not in another f Asa remedy. too, (as the facts in this unfortunate case afford the most touching illustration,) it is absurd almost to madness. Without any resulting good, without restoring any thing lost, it gives one hundred fold more publicity to the family disgrace under which he smarts, besides bringing upon himself the indelible stain of blood. And while, as a remedy for his wrongs, lie brings these aggravated- evils upon him self, by bis lawless act, he inflicts the deep est injury upon others who are innocent us himself to the crime he would punish, and as much injured by it. Mrs. Marbourg, as, with true efffistian philosophy, she re- minded the prisoner, was as much injured (since a woman must be allowed as keen sensibilities as a man) by the criminal con duct of his wife and her husband, as he was by the guilty conduct of her husband and his wife ; and each one of her nine children was as innocent as his son ; and yet his-act visited her with the desolation of widowhood, and made her children or phans. There are persons, we know, who ignorantly aqd thoughtlessly, or wickedly proclaim that the adulterers should be shot down ; and who busy themsjjJves in pro pagating that morbid and mischevous sen timent ; but it requires very little discern ment to see how much wiser the law is, than the reckless impulses of human pas sion. . We regret, gentleman, the homicide was not justifiable under all or any of the cir cumstances. Nor have we been able to arrive at the conclusion that the prisoner had legal provocation such as would ex tenuate it. We no not.find the law to be so. Besides (o say nothing of the evidence of express malice, dating back a wqek, could it admit of a reasonable doubt that there was more than sufficient time for passion to cool ? Rebels Taking the Oath. A Washington dispatch of’ the 28th says: One' hundred and five officers of Morgan's guerrillas arrived at Point Look out on Saturday. They are all Kentuck ians, and are qiiite puzzled at their being guarded by negro_soldiers. Qh_e of their number, a son of ex-congressman Pritton, was shot and instantly "died, after entering camp, by Sergeant Young, assistant of the provost marshall, in assigning the men to their quarters Pritton asked him to go out and get him whisky. The sergeant said it was against orders. Pritton said he was a suitable companion for those ne groes, pointing to the, negro troops. The sergeant told him to keep quiet. He said he was not afraid of apy Yankee, and said that Young was a coward and afraid to shoot. Young pulled out his revolver and started towards the gate, when Prit ton kicked him. Young then shot him dead. Seventy-five Missourians came out of the camp during the week and have taken the oath, and were furnished transporta tion to their homes. They express them selves heartily tired of the wfir, find are determined to go fiojqe and henceforth be true and loyal men. They say ithere are but few Missourians in camp who are go - | ing back to the rebel army. They peti- I tinned! some weeks ago to£ to let them go back hov*»s »t the '■ if"*” ph« spring crops in.
