Ty the Honorable the Senate and House of Assembly of the State of New Jersey. Your memoriglist represents to your Hon- orable bodies—That he is a citizen of the State of New Jersey, and fully entitled to all the rights, privileges and immunities per- taining to such citizenship. That on the eleventh day of September last, he was ar. rested. by Benajah Deacon, United States Marshal for New Jersey, accompanied by an armed force, William R. Allen, Mayor of the city of Burlington, being present, and assist. ing with ona or two of his police. That the said Marshal, upon being called upon for his authority, produced a printed form or order in the words following, as near as your mes morialist can recollect : «To Benajah Deacon, Esq., Marshal. &c. You are hereby commanded to arrest James W. Wall, of the city of Burlington, and con- vey him to Fort Lafayette, in the New York harbor, forthwith. By order of the Secreta- ry of War. Dated, Washington, September 1861.” Upon reading this singular document, your memorialist demanded of the Mar- shal the nature and cause of the accusation against him, and a copy of the affidavit or affirmation upon which such warrant was based. He took occasion at the same time to deny the mightof any member of the President’s Cabinet to issue any such war» rant, much less the Secretary of War, and warned the Marshal that he would hold the Secretary responsible, and all who presumed to act under his authority ; that this official had in this overstepped the limits of his of- ficial authority, and having usurped powers not delegated to him by the Constitution, of by some law made in purauance thereof, he had put himself beyond the pale of the pro- tection of his office, and was liable like any private citizen, with this distinction, that having used his official position to effect this gross injustice and oppression, it was a great aggravation of his guilt, and would be considered so in a criminal prosecution, or in asking for exemplary damages in a civil action. To this protest and warning of your me. morialist, the Marshal made the following most extraordinary reply : “That he knew nothing of the cause and nature of the accu- sations, or of any affidavit or affirmation upon which the warrant sas based ; that he kad received the order through the post office, and was bound to execute it at all hazards, and if any resistance was made, he would resort to the armed force then sur rounding the house.”’ Upon your memorialist requesting time for preparation, and to have an interview with his family, 1t was peremptorily refused by the Marshal, who further declared ‘that he had orders to take your memorialist at onceto New York via the Camden and Am- boy line, which would pass through Burling. ton in the course of ten or fifteen minutes.” Against such an arbitrary exercise of pow- er as this, never surpassed by the most sub gervient minjon of the vilest despotism in Europe, your memorialist entered his most solemn protest, and prepared to resist such invasion of his rights by physical force.— Resistance, however, proved in vain, and your memorialist having succeeded in reaching the hall of his house, was there overpowered by a large armed force, torn from the midst of his family and dragged to the railroad station. From thence he was conveyed a prisoner by the Marshal, accom panied by six of his armed posse, not only through the State of New Jersey, but thr’o a portion of the State of New York, and in that State delivered over to the United States military authority commanding at Fort Ta~ fayette, 10 New York harbor. In this Government fortress he was con- fined for nearly two weeks, his correspond~ ence subjected to the most impudent sur- veilance, and his person to all those indigni~ ties and petty annoyances which a military despotism understand how to inflict. He was finally released from confinement upon: taking what was called an oath of allegiance and extra-judicial oath, unknown to the Constitution and the laws, but unobjection- ble to your memorialist, inasmuch as it pledged him to “protect and defend the Con stitution against all its enemies,” thus impos- ing, if it were possible to do so, additional obligations upon him to resist the unconstis tutional acts of this high official, and punish his gross violations of the personal liberty of the subject. There can be no greater enemy to the Constitution than that man, who, be neath the cloak of power, conceals the stiletto with which he thrusts at his vitals. Since his release, your memorialist has applied again and again to the Secretary of ‘War, for the cause and nature of the accu- gations agsinst him ; but thus far all his ap- plications have received not the slightest. no- tice. This persistent silence of the Secreta- ry of War raises the presumption that the unconstitutional warrant by which he dared to deprive a citizen of New Jersey of his lib- erties, has not even the bald pretence of a written accusation to give it the flimsiest shadow of a decent formality. Your memorialist, by reason of this cruel. unmanly silence of the War Department, has been compelled to submit to have his good name and fame called in question, fus loyalty to the Constitution doubted, and the most un- grounded and unjust prejudices engendered against him. Tt is the grossest injustice to place an individual in such a position—vio- late all the rights, privileges and immunities that belong to him asa citizen—punish him as if he were the vilest criminal, and then cruelly withhold from him the nature and cause of the accusation against hm. Your memorialist therefore makes this ap- peal to the Legislature of his native State, that it will, through our Senators and Rep resentatives in Congress, demand of the War Department the nature and charges on filein said Department, upon which such warrant was issued. or, if no such charges are upon record, that. then it shall be so made to appear. ” * » * I am fully aware that in the ancient com monwealths, self-preservation was consider- ed the first necessity of the State, as it was of individuals, and could be used as a justi- fication of “the temporary veiling of the Statues of Laberty.’’ The dictator who. in the hour of the Nation's peril, came forth from the Roman Senate with absolute pow ers over the life, liberty and property of the Roman citizen, was only the creation of this dangerous idea. And during the reign of Elizabeth there was a notion that a kind of paramount sovereignty existed, which was denominated her absolute power, incident, as it was pretended, te the abstract nature of sovereignty, and arising out of its primary office of preserving the State from destruc tiom But even then, in that tyrannical reign, it found men bold enough to dare the terrors of the royal frown. and declare “that this insidious plea of necessity means too of ten the sccurity of the sovereign rather than that of the people.” The opposition to this pernicious doctrine went on gathering strength until, in the reign of the First Charles, it culminated in the far famed De. claration of Rights, that is the beacon light, casting its blaze afar, to warn tyrannical governments against the invasion of the liba erties of the people. | And yet, we are asked to believe the mon- strous doctrine in this high noon of the nineteenth century, in a government like ours, made by the haters of kingly preroga tive, with a written Constitution defining and limiting che powers of every depart- ment, there really, in time of war, lurks in the Executive this dangerous element of power ; and against which there had been a continued and successful struggle of five centuries in England. In the eloquent words of Mr. Pendleton, of Ohio, words that have the true ring of the metal of the olden time, “Can it be believed that our fathers. pro~ testing against kingly prerogative, revolu tionists because of outrages on personal rights by their sovereign. would clothe the executive of their new government with a power over the citizens, which their former master had never dared to pretend that he possessed ¢ Canit be believed that they, proud of their English lineage, proud of their English liberty—aye, proud of their loyalty to the Enghsh Constitution, would sacrifice that right, which their English an- cestors accounted their chiefest glory. Those ancestors had battled for centuries, bravely for popular rights. They had placed the crown upon the brow of the people—they had decked it with many a jewel, it was ra- diant with the glories of popular liberty, and can 1t be believed that our fathers would tear away this priceless gem, that sparkled in the very forefront of that cornet, and ‘with 1t adorn the spectre of executive power. In no other point in the Constitution did they limit the rights of the people as admit~ ted at that day ; can it be believed that they would, in this one vital point alone, restrict the bounds of liberty, and enlarge those of power #” What course you, the Representative of the State of New Jersey, may deem it prop- er to take in reference to this wanton out- rage upon the cor.stitutionally guaranteed rights of one of your citizens, must be left to your own judgments. It is for you to say whether it shall be passed over without a remonstrance. If by your silence now, you constitute this a precedent, it may be you to declare of what value hereafter those high sounding clauses in the bill of rights in our Constitution will be to any of the citizens of the State of New Jersey 2 — That bill of rights was intended as the enun- ciation of certain general principles of free government—to serve as the landmarks of liberty and law. Did your present Senator in Congress, Mr. Ten Eyck, when he intro~ duced it into your Constitutional Conven tion, and his fellow meinbers when they vot- ed upon it, consider its clauses as only a “mass of glittering generalities ?” And vet, what clse do they become, if any Cabi- net officer may, under the authority of one of these general warrants, invade your State, with an armed force. kidnap any of your of the State at his sovereign will and pleas- ure, in any one of the fortresses of the Gov ernment. Surely if such outrages are to be and wicked shams. I speak earnestly. because T feel so. 1 have been made to know the insolence of | arbitary power. The most degraded crimi. | nal in any of your prisons could not have been treated as T have been. without an out ery of indignation from every honest citizen | in the State. I have been arrested without | the form of legal warrant—condemned with out the shadow of a trial, and punished by a degraded imprisonment of weeks, withou® at this hour, even knowing the nature and | cause of the accusation against me. I know | and appreciate my rights as a citizen of the United States, and as a citizen of the State of New Jersey ; and no man shall invade and trample upon those rights with impuni~ ty. I envy not the heart. for itis corrupt, nor the bram, for it is diseased. that can at- tempt to approve, or by reasoning, justify, such an atrocious act of tyranny as this. 1f such an act can be done in a republic, with- out redress, and with the approval of its cit- zens. then I know no difference between it and the vilest despotism upon earth, save only, that the latter is the most honest gov- ernment of the two. All of which is respectfully submitted. JAMES W. WALL. TrENTON, Jan. 14, 1862. awe A Scene after the Battle. About ten o'clock, writes the Chaplain o the 31st Ohio, T lay down in a tent and tried | to sleep, but the shrieks and groanings of | the wounded and dying reached my ears, | and pierced my heart, and I could not sleep: In a short time Dr. Linnett and a Mr. Olds, from Lancaster, Ohio, came in to sleep in the tent [ was occupying. One of them re- marked that there was a wounded soldier in an old blacksmith shop, who was desirous of seeing a chaplain. T arose from my couch and after wending my way through the mud and. wet, [ found the shop; and, to my utter surprise, I found the shop filled with the wounded, and one was Iving on the forge.— Some were mortally wounded, and a few were not. and praying with one of them a short time he obtained peace and pardon. I Then asked him what regiment he be~ lon ed to. Said he, ** [ am your enemy, bot we will be friends in heaven.” He then re- quested me to write to his grandfather in Paris, Tennesee, who is a Cumberlatd Pres | byterian minister, and inform him of his condition, and his being prepared to die in| the full triumph of faith. I conversed with several others, and tried to pont them to | the Lamb of God, that taketh away the sins of the world. I was also permitted to see Gen. F. K. Zollicoffer, who was laid out on a board in a tent, in the cold embrace of death. I saw the place where he was shot, and laid my hand upon his broad forehead. He was about six feet high. and compactly and well built, one among the fincst heads that I ever saw. : After .conversing ——— pe Mr. Harris, of New York, and Mr, Cowan, of Pennsylvania, are both Republican mem- bers of the U. S. Senate, both members of the Judiciary Committee, and both opposed the expulsion of Jesse D. Bright—not. it may be presumed for any regard for that person, but from high and conscientious con- victions of duty. In the Senate of New York, as in the Senate of Pennsylvania there has bee® an earnest and able discussion upon a proposition to instruct United States Sen ators how they should vote with reference to Mr. Bright. In the Senate of Pennsylvania a resolution instructing in favor of expulsion | was passed. Inthe Senate of New York a resolution precisely the same character was | introduced, and not passed ; but in its place | another resolution was substituted by a vote | of twenty.one yeas to eight nays which ex- pressed the opinion that Jesse I). Bright was a traitor and ought to be expelled The distinction between the resolution of the New York Senate and that of the Pennsylva- nia Senate is apparent. The former ex. presses an opinion in which most men will concur, without attempting to control the action of Mr. Harris upon a subject of which he was the sole judge, The latter isin the form of a peremptory mandate to Mr. Cowan instructing him how to cast his vote. The one showed some respect for the deliberate conclusions of a United States Senator ; the other, none whatever.—Patriot §& Union. pp me 177 A little girl went to camp meeting, and when she got home she said the sisters in the various tents told her a good many things, and asked her questions about the Bible.

A medical journal reports an interesting discussion at the Epedemiological Society, upon a paper sent from Nova Scotia, by Mr. Miles, Surgeon in the artillery. Capt. Har dy, of the Royal Artillery, an accomplished and intelligent officer, who has been for years among the Indians, says that ‘the old squaw’s remedy had long been known to them as an infallible core for small-pox,” and that the Indians believe it to be suc- cessful in every case. * From the informas tion gathered from the Indians, the follow. ing observations hove been carefully sifted. 1. In the case of an individual suspected to be under the influence of smallpox, with no distinc t eruption on him, a large wine glass full of the infusion of the root of the plant ¢ sarraconia perpurca,” or pitcher plant (several specimens of which, including the root, were exhibited on the table,) is to be taken. The effect of this is to I ring out the erruption After a second or third dose given at intervals of from four to six hours, the pustules subside, apparently losing their vitality. The patient feels better at the end of each dose, and in the graphic ex- pression of the “Mitmac,”’ knows there is a great change within him at once. 11. Ina subject already covered with the eruption of small pox in the carly stage, a dose or two will dissipate the postules, and subdue the febrile symtoms, Under the in- fluence of the remedy, in three or four days the prominent symtoms of the constitutional disturbance subside, althoagh, as a precau tionary measure, the sick person is kept in camp until the ninth day. No markes of the eruption as regards pitting, &e., have been left in cases examined if treated by the remedy. 111. With regard to the medicine act ing (as is believed by the Indians) in the way of a preventive, 1n those exposed to in fection, it is curious to note that, in the camps where the remedy has been used, the people keep a weak infusion of the plant prepared, and take a dose occasionally du- ring the day, so as to ‘¢ keep the antidote in the blood.” A discussion followed the reading of bis paper, 1n which Mr. Mason, Dr. Copland, Dr. Waller Lewis, Dr. Babbington, Dr. Morehead, Dr. Milroy, Mr. Radcliffe, Mr. Lord and Dr. McWilliams took part. All the speakers concurred in the desirability of requesting Mr. Miles to procure a further supply of the root of the * sarraconia pur- puree,” with the view of having its anti.va rioloid properties tested in this country. awe T7 A certain witnss in an assault and battery suit we once heard, mixed things up considerably, in giving his account of the affair. After relating how Dennis came to him and struck him, he proceeded : « So, yer honor, I just hauled off and wiped his jaw. Just then his dog cum along, and I hit him again,” ¢ Hit the dog?’ +t No yer honor, hit Dennis. And thenI up wid a stun and throwed it at him, and rolled him over and over.” + Threw a stone at Dennis 2” . + At the dog, yer honor. And he got up and hit me again.” «The dog *” «No, Dennis. And with that he stuck his tail betwixt his legs and run off.” “ Dennis ?”’ § «No, the dog. And when he came back at me he got me down and pounded me, yer honor.” . + The dog came back at you?” + No, Dennis, yer honor, and he isn't hurt any at all.” «« Who isn’t hurt 2’ «t The dog, yer honor.” BURriED ALIVE— The body of a woman is Displaced in Her Coffin.—In the early part of last week a woman who resided on Mil ton street whose name our informant, Lieut. Montgomery. of the city police, eould not rem:wber —su idenly died, and in the abs sence of her husband, who is a soldier in the army was placed by her friends ina vault mn the Cumminsville burying ground. On Wednesday last the husband of the deceased returned heme to be not ouly surprised but : severely shocked with the melancholy news that awaited him. Anxious once more to behold the beloved features of his departed wife before her remains were deposited in the grave, he had her coffin opened in the presence of several friends, when what was his horror and astonishment to find she had changed position, and was lying flat upon her face, having in her struggles and ex~ treme despair torn the flesh entirely oft one of her shoulders. The feelings of the hus- band and friends can readi'y be imagined, at the exposure of such an awful death. The lid of the coffin was replaced and then lowered in the ground, there to lie forever — Cincinnati Enquirer, — edt Kren RerorT.—An old bachelor was | rather taken aback a day or two since as | follows : — | Picking up a book, he exclaimed seeing a "wood cut representing a man kneeling at the feet of a woman— « Bef re I would ever kneel toa woman 1 would encircle my neck with arope and stretch it.” And then turning to a young woman, he 'inquired— += Do you not {hink it would be the best thing I could do ?” + It would undoubtedly be the best for the ! woman,” was the sarcastic reply. Origin of the Telescope and Pendulum. It sems scarcely credible that that wonder- ful far seeing instrument, which brings the most distance worlds under our curious ken, should have its origin in childs play ; yet so it 15. The children of spectacle- maker in Middlesburg were allowed at times—proba biy on wet days-—to play in their father’s workshops. ©n one of these occasions they were amusing themselves with some spectacle glasses, when one of them placed two together, one before the other, and look- ed through them at a weathercock on a neighboring steeple, To the childs aston- ishment, the vane appeared larger and near- er to it than when seen through the glass only. The Father was called to see the sight, and struck with the singular fact, re- solved to turn it to advantage. His first plan was to fix two glasses on a board, by means of brass rings, which might be brought nearer to each other, or further off at pleasure. He was thus enabled to see distant objects better and more distinctly than before. The next improvement was the glasses in a tube, which may be termed the first telescope. Galileo soon heard of it, The mention of this great man, recalls to mind his accidental discovery of the pendu- lum. A correct time keeper had long been a desideratum in the world. Water clocks had been tried and found wanting ; Alfred's candles would not do for the world at large. Another lucky accident must supply the want, and it came as follows: The future great astronomer, though then only a young man; was in the cathedral at Pisa. Oue of the vergers had been supplying a lamp wit oil, which hung from the roof, and left i swinging to and fro; this caught Galileo's attention ; and carefully noticing it, he ob served that it vibrated in equal times, and. first conceived the idea of applying it to the’ measurement of time. It cost bim fifty years to complete his pendulom, After the’ telescope and pendulum, we can hardly pass over Sir Isaac Newton’s discovery of the law of gravity, though it 1s too well known’ to require more than naming. An apple ac- cidentally falling to the ground before his’ face revealed to him this mighty all perva- ing secret of nature. What vast results’ have sprung from these seeming trifles !— Distaut worlds have not only been discover- ed, but weighed and measured. The path: less ocean can be traveled over with the sare certainty as tf guide-posts were every three or four miles; and time can be meas-’ ured to the greatest nicety. ¢ t eases The Hunter and Lane Imbroglio. The New York Herald thus pitches: into’ «Jim Lane, the blower.” «We have all along believed that Gen. Jim Lane, like the long lane of the proverb, would havea turn by and by, and Gen. Hunter seems to have given it to him recent: ly. In a general order, which we published’ yesterday, Major General Hunter announces’ that he intends taking command: of the’ Southern overland expedition in person, un+ less expressly ordered not to. do so by the’ Government. This pricks Lane’s balloon nicely. For some time Lane has been brag. ging that this was *‘his’’ expedition, and that he was to command it and do what he pleased with it. Now he sinks into the com: paratively insignificant position of one of nine brigadier generals under Major General Hunter. The publiz could scarcely hear more welcome news. Congress and the country have been disgusted for months with the bragging aud boasting, the pomp: ous assumptions, the false reports of conver- sations with the President and the genera!’ Munchausenisms of this swaggering, jay- hawking, bushwhacking border ruffian, who" has won for himself the appropriate though® inelegant nickname of ¢ the blower.” From® the style in which he talked about ‘¢ his” soldiers, the way in which he threatened to’ {ree and arm all the negroes he met, wheth-* er the administration liked it or not, and the’ manecer in which he promised ¢ his” sol« diers a negro apiece to enable them to “play gentlemen,” it began to be undoratood that there were two commanders-in-chief of our armies, and that President Lincoln’s com mand ceased at the Mississippi,where Liane’s began. We have no doubt that Old Abe, having endured the impertinence of this ime. pudent fellow long enough, has a hand or foot in his present summary squelching.— As far as the expedition is concerned, *Lane knew as little of good generalship as he did of good manners or good grammar, and: the public will be glad to hear that the position: he assumed is to be filled by an able,. expe- rienced and trustworthy army officer: As for the rest, we trust that Lane and: his- ab- olition admirers are beginning to learn that the country has a President who can make himself obeyed, and a policy which is iden- tical at the West and East alike, and in the overland as well as m any other expedition. It is the general opinion that General Lane talks too much to fight well ; barking dogs seldom bite—and we are sure that be will be shot for wutiny if he carries bis present tactics into military service.” and applied it to astronomical purposes.— -
