M. Parker, Esq., replied that af ter what had been said by the Attor ney, it was his duty to protest against any disposition of the case now ex cept by a hearing and determination by the magistrate. He said that no one of the five Gordona had been shown to be guilty of even improper talk, except Harry, the youngest, and then ander the influence of liquor.— He also warned these self-constituted committees that this comma nity.wo'd not tolerate such interference as they had been guilty of. He thought the counsel for the defendants ought to have an opportunity to vindicate the character of ocese men. He had not himself prepared to argue this ease, having from the beginning left that to Mr. Scoot, the junior counsel. Mr. Dana stated that an argument in the case after the Government had abandoned it would be useless; But if anything could be said in vindica tion of the Gardens it would be fair to allow it. it&UCII & LIGIIT Mr. Senot was obliged to the Dis trict Attorney for that. He said that after what the GordonS had suffered i- would be of no advantage to them to argue their case. What they want ed their counsel to do was to vincli• cage their character, and expose the meanness of the prosecutors. This he proposed to do now.. Re then auf dres._ed.tlie Commissione,r as follows: Charies P. Ciordcin is sixty years old. he has four sons. They are all natives of New England, and silver. smiths by trade. They reside in the suburbs, and do business here on Washington street; in the building uf' Deacon Palmer. They are men of respectable standing, and as to polit ical sentiments they voted for Dou— glas. They are the parties prosecu ted. • Mr. Peter Hobart is 'a house build er, and is deacon of Park St. Church. Mr. Naives, a Superintendent of the Tremont Temple, and was a member of the Church of Mr. liallock. Mr. Thrasher is an, acquaintance and an associate Of theirs. Mr. Palmer is another deacon, in whose building a committee met to try the loyalty of these suspected persons. Mr. Wit. liam Washburn is an architect—for merly of the City Council. These per sons are all of Republican polities, and are the real prosecutors. Mr. Thrasher complained to Mr. Hobart, that the Gordons were dis• affected people, who .sympathized With the South. Mr. Hobart, acting upon that information, Wrote them a loiter, which, with its answer from the Cordons, is in the vase. The next day, by the invitation of Deacon Palmer, the above named persons met by concert in hiS basement, with a !lumber of others . , elected Deacon Palmer chairman of the meeting, and then called the Gordons before them. The eldest son, being asked by Mr Hobart the letter writer, if he would. satisfy them of his loyalty by put ting out a flag, replied in au outburst of passion that he would not be co. creed, especially by his enemies. Mr. Washburn attempting to interfere, was interrupted by this Gordon, to whom. for some reason or other, Mr. Washburn is peculiarly odious, and informed him that from him nothing would he heard. From this violent scene the son was drawn away by the father, and the strange committee dis solved and disappeared through Dea con Palmer's back door. The Assis tant District Attorney was then in formed that the Goraons had given aid and comfort to the enemy. This information he says, upon his oath, he believes. In consequence they were arrested. Their whole life and cnn versation for the year past has been sifted and pried into. Their friends and neighbors have been summoned to testify about them. And on this testimony, so obtained, we are to hold them, if it offers probable cause.— Now, does it? And here, how simple—how easy is the task of the mere lawyer or the mere commissioner! -But, if I regard such a case as this, or if you did, with the eye of a mere lawyer, I should despise myself, and, sir, I would be astonished at you! What would be the use, sir, of a liberal education outside of our profession, as well as a severe training within it? What the benefit of active exertion in the prilitieal affairs of our country, begin ning for each of us long before we could vote ?

I shall take care, sir, not to do so —and while I shall take care not to present an unlawyer like view, or to say anything at all inconsistent with a legal analysis of the charge—while I shall even use the testimony faith fully as the stimulus of reflection and the occasion of :argument—l shall leave the law part where it should be left in this.stage of the ease—to it in a subordiiiate relation, and speak of it briefly and in the conclusion of the matter. Viewing the testimony, 'then, does it show any offense committed, ex cept by the conspirators---:the spies— the informers—the Cellar Inquisition -who haVe . borne - false wiltieSS a gainst their neighbors to destroy him? Suppose thei.n to have aid against their nature, and have told the truth under oath. Then the Gordons various ways have found fault with the Government? That is the es sence, the spirit and even the scope of the testimony. Is that treason Is it treason herd `Phis Was the home of free speech— and all the colors of Republicanism— from black to billious—declared that speech should be free. The ehiefrea son why 1 want to carry fire and sword into the South, is because they refused my right of free speech—giv en to me by that Almighty God who was pleased to create rue a free man; a right the creator and del:ender of all toy other rights; a right so much the more important than the Consti tution, the Constitution was invented merely to assert and secure it is nut worth the paper it blackens unless it does assert it and secure it: I de,Glare beroro God, that is I un• del-stand that right, I value it more than Ido my lice! And. I cad this whole assembly—yes, this whole country, to witness if I have not be fore now proved the sincerity of this declaration by iny actions? And the right which 1 vindicated at the risk IA my life before a Southern tyrant, I will not give up for the sake or my business to a Yankee Sneak. Neith er shall the Gordons! Their case is ours. We are tried with them. And in defending them we defend ourselves and our country from a gang compared with whom Colonel Leadbetter, the murderer, is humane, and General Floyd, the thief, is respectable. Mr. Sumner was once the advocate of tree speech. He claimed to be almost one of its mar, tyrs. And in tieNnee ail it, or in e,0 4 , victim of a cowardly assault, inflicted with a ferocity and endured with a meekness unexampled in the annals of cudgelling ! lie now changes opin ion, or at least his language. With that felicity ufallusion which belongs among the public writers of America, to him and to Governor Andrew alone, he advises his friends to put their "heels" upon those who differ with them, and who dare to speak out. The advice is given in a public letter addressed to the late war meet ing at New York. Is this :prosecu- Lion and experiment made upon pour mechanics by a few small' conspira tors in pursuance. of an agreement a mong the, principle Thugs at Wash ington, in order, if' it works well, to sacrifice inure important victims to the Abolition Jiale,e ? 1 do nut know. But I know this. I know that the gentleman of theMpublican party do not countenance it, and that it will fail here, because, among oth er reasons, to reach their political op ponents they must be hail down; both ' political and per:soma friends. If free speech is treason, our excellent Gov. croor would speedily be known as the late unlamented John A Andrew; for his speech is excessively free and easy! We haVe merely to go hark to his letter to Mr. _Kimball to make hi in an advocate and champion of trea son iii its broadest extent. - Then what would beounie of Mr. Phillips? Dues he speak in favor of the Govern moot ? llas he ever said_ anything in favor 01 any Government except that of Hayti r Did he not lately ad vise a large and patriutie assembly nut to give a roan or a dollar to the government of the United States?— And did not that patriotic society ap plaud the suggestion ? Shall we pros ecute Mr. Phillips therefor? Not with my good will, not without my active . resistance! I should violate the first principle of Democracy, greater to me than anything but the word of God himself, it' i did not fight fur Mr. Phillips' right to talk treason to any fuel who wants to hear him ! In a letter the Governor refuses to supply troops to the President. In fact he supplies many and urges more to go. Du we prosecute him for his letter ? No! but a tempeSt of deri sion breaks .over what lie calls his head from all parts of the United States and even from England, and to that we leave hirn. When the reg iment of the I to Cu}: Cass went off without an escort, even of the second battalion, was it riot actually hissed ie State street, as was the Massaehu setts regiment on its return from Mexico ; butt the agreeable remark was made that the departure of the Irish would he of great griet to our poor houses and jails! The Gover nor or his friends may talk so about Col. Cass' coun try men,the Irish, with out committing treason. We are not charged with saying anything halls° bad about Mr. Andrews' countrymen, the negroes, and yet we are prosecu ted. Much has been said about finding fault with the government, as it' there was sows pecuqal sanctity about WEDNESDAI, SEPTEMBER 17, 1882.

Sum ner, the Chairman of the Se.mtte Com mittee on Foreign Relations:\ I can not admire a person who is so simple as to think it a fitter thing to pretend to be a fanatic, that to be a dull but, boneSt man. There is a fine old Ger man story called the "AdVetitures of Reyourd the Fox," in the illustration of which, animals of differtunt coflu tries are represented in theiattitudes With the expressions of Men. The illustrations are very good: \ Expose a cep.of clear ivaterld the frpst; ob serve it, and ever when the cold be .gins to till its transparent subnanco with a beautiful spinella of ice,'it you agitate the mass it will not imantedi awl). freeze. But give it in that con dition, a short period of rest, and it becomes a rock, hardly yielding to the energies of gunpowder and fire.— So have we found the Siatth. They were once undecided. Time and the stupidity of the Government has con solidated a hesitatingly into a hostile people. Yet Mr. Gorden is a traitor if he calls a fool a fool. No, sir, freedom of speech is not, quite gone. It "still lives" in Boston. This mean prosecution is not to affect it. Those that I happen to know of them are gentlemen. They did not agree with me in polities where poli-' tics existed, but they agree with me now in dispising that potty prosecu tion orlaborers aml mechanicb.9lo,olr, of the old Whig party, and Which was one Of the causes of its:fall, as great and respectable as that; party was.— They say with perfect 'freedorn from constraint and that it would not on ly be lost to us, but wOUlti be used a gainst us with treme,ndo4s power, if it should be shown for one , moment to be produced by fear or by force,— lf we cannot hold our own against one or two Secessionists, a whole Statemithout force, what are we to do with the armies ofStoiletvall.Jauk son. If leading. Republimis, however abandon their own print Ales to take vengeance for opinion's sake; I can tell you that they will n'ot, leave so great a matter in the bands of any such persons as the prosecutors in th s ease. They will not (otideseend to shrink froth the Court of Judge Lynch in order to whine over us, in the cellars of Deacon Palmer! They will not attempt to watch us in entry ways, like Phineas Stone, or adver tise us ill the Sunday Papers as were the, Gordons. Nor if We happen to be so situated, will they sneak tOund to master builders or other employ ei's and threaten them with loss of business if we are not, dismissed, as is the; high-toned and Magnanimdus practice bf . sl.r. Wrn. Washburn. The petty business' never sprung from them. They are a great party and, I believe, an honest one. They are not. to he measured with the meas ure ()far. Sumner or of Peter Hobart. If they utter sneers in temper, they empty their pockets in generos ity. They care for the widow and the orphan. And when they do that, sir, they /never ask what party the husband or lather belonged to. No, sir! The bulk of the Republicans love their country and help their countrymen, they leave the mean bus iness of spy and informer, of alarmist and rupsionist, , to renegades of the NV ash burn stamp who remain at home to abuse their former party instead of following its members to the fight for our country. They leave it to them and the remnant of those med dlesome natures, the torment and re proach of Massachusetts, who infest its religious societies, and who are the sorrow of its most Christian char acters. The man who attends to ev ery other man's affairs whether his Owl] are attended to or not is almost exclusively a illassachusetts nuisance. fie is commonly, though not always, attached to some unhappy church or ganization. To Massuchm;etts, soci ety meddling is indeed a scourge so great that it may he doubted wheth er it does not fully counterbalance every comfort , arid blessin g - concen trated in this favored country. Pu ritanisin which exalted the manly English spirit by fanaticism on the one hand, degraded it on the other hand, by espionage. Its churches were mutual assurance societies in each other for the morality of their members, its doctrines are forgot ten. But the evils xvb'eh the Puritans uneonecievsly did, lives after them, and chgrches which detest their rem- ory and deny their teaching, are man aged on their principles. Massachu setts to-day is covered with societies, in which the best, men and women conscientiously, but reluctantly, and the worst of men and women eager, Iy, and with a devilish delight, form the work aspics and informers upon each other. To say that such a gi• gantic system of mutual espionage does degrade character is simply to say that eavesdropping and tale-bear. ing are not mean Occupations. Un der its influence nothing is known of a man's character or disposition.— Habitual watchfulness upon the one side arouses habitual hypocrisy upon the other, and it is ohly when the petty saint of Boston expands into the gigantic villain of New Orleans or San Francisco, that you can tell how vast a benefit you derive from his emigration. The wickedness look ed little here because we saw but tle of it. The enormous pressure of universal listening and peeping had driven it deep into the innermost fi bres of our society. So pressed it produces smelling committees, it e lects Hiss legislatures. It brings such men as Deacon Palmer to associate, out of fear, with such men as Wash burn, whom they receive in their cel lars and dismiss through their back doors. Nobody will deny the fact or its application here, who is not pre pared to deny the existence of the Rev. Mr. Kuilock, or his church mem ber Mr. Hayes, who peeped after him and blaek•mailed him, and then ex posed him. It is Mr. Hayes' turn to day, it may be Mr. liallock's turn to do that dirty work for Mr. Hayes to. morrow. It is Mr. Washburn's turn now, it may be the Gordons' turn by and by. But - be the turn whose it may, the system of a barbarous age and people applied to the control of civilized mankind awakens the here. est resentment. Men have put up with the savagest. task masters.— They have endured the bloodiest ty. rants, without resistance for many years. They have submitted to the Kings of Prussia—and even to the Turks.— But a Government of meddling phil anthropists they cannot bear. It re• seMbles the Guve.rnmant of vermin more than any human despotism.— Individually vile and odious, but quite insignifieant; when collected they are all pervading, all devouring, appall ing—loathsome to every sense, and intolerable to the strongest body and firmest mind. This is the Govern ment of the Robespieres—the Larats —the Washburnsthe Hoburts—the Hayesesis the oppression which makes Alm_ wise man in.acl! It made to GOrdons mad When it fitSt, appli ed to them, and what they uttered under its influences was temper—not treason. Yet was there sense as weiri as temper, if they preferred Jeff. Da. vis' to an Abolition Government. As I understand an Abolition Govern ment a mail might endure the Gov ernment of Mr. Phillips, for he is a gentleman—or of Mr. Garrison, for whatever may have been thought of his sanity, his honesty was Dever questioned. But the Abolition Gov ernment which they understand was the Inquisitorial—the cellar—the sink and cesspool committee whieh stood be !Ore them ordering them to put out flag ! and I think there is no man of spirit with that, in his mind, who would not prefer the wolfishness of a Davis to the perdiculousness of a Washburn The Gordons have done no wrong. They do not hate their native coun try, though they cannot like its im• becile Government—a Government which has everything given to it by a generous people, and which does nothing but waste time, make speech es and feed contractors, cannot be liked or trusted until it alters its course. These sentiments I under stand them to express. .1 agree with them in that; so do hundreds and thousands more. They have a right —moral as well as legal—to express such sentiments. They might to ex• press them ; and woe to the Wash• burn who shall meddle with them, or with any one else in this way here after I OPINION OF COMMISSIONEIi The complaint in this case charges the defendants with "giving aid and comfort to the United States" an in formal mode of describing the of fence of "adhering to the enemies of the United States, giving them aid and comfort." In other words, the accusation against the defendants is treason—for ander the Constitution and laws of the United States trey Son consists in "levying war against the United States, or in adhering to its enemies, giving them aid and corn tort." And the punishment of this offense is death. To consti . tote this offense, some overt act, either . in levying war or giving aid and comfort to the enemy, must be proved. It is well settled that no words, or intentions even, however hostile or disloyal they may be, are sufficient, if they have not ripened into acts. The laws of the United States have thus far tailed to make ()pillions, sym pathies or intentions, or the expres sion of these, however disloyal, base or hostile to the existing Govern rnent, an offense cognizable by the Courts. Such conduct is left for its punishment to the just and indignant judgment or mankind. Et_ Our sole duty here is to administer the law as we find it. In reference to the two younger Gordons it is but just, to state that sa far as I perceive no testimony what ever has been introduced affecting: them ; and the testimony, so far as it relates to Mr. Gordon, Sr., is Inninly WHOLE NO. 601. to the effect that he received letters from a customer in Baltimore giving him rebel accounts of the movements of the armies sooner than they were published in the papers here. In re erenee to the remaining de fendants, George and Henry Gordon, although the testimony is much more full as to their expressions of sympa thy with the rebellion, yet 1 fully concur with the views stated so fairly by the learned District Attorney, that it is entirely insufficient to prove an overt act of treason. My only duty, therefore is to order that this complaint be dismissed, and the defendants be discharged. The crowd in the courtroom burst into applause which nobody checked, and many people, went up and shook bands with the Glordons. "STONEWALL" JACKSON.

It is only the little and the frivolous who are forever obtruding their petty vanities before the world. His lace, also, expresses courage in the highest degree, and his phreno logical developments indicate a vast amount of energy and activity. ills forehead is broad and promi• neat, the occipital and sincipital re gions tre both large and well-balatic ed ; eyes expressing a singular union of mildness, energy and concentra tion ; - cheek and nose both long and well formed. His dress is a common grey suit of faded cassimere, coat, pants and hat-rthe coat slightly braided on the sleeve, just enough to be perceptible, the collar displavin i z the; mark of a Major-General. Of his gait, it is sufficient, to say that he just goes along, not a particle of the strut, the military swagger, turkey•gobbler parade, so common among officers of small rank .and smaller minds. It would be a profitable study for some of our military swells to devote one hour each day to the contempla tion of the magnificent plainness of "Stonewall." To military fiunc, which they can never hope to attain, he unites the simplicity of a child, the straight-forwardness of a Western farmer. On last Sunday he wasdress ed as ab9s - e, and bestrode as common a Horse as one could find'in a ` summer day. There may be those who would be less struck with his appearance, as thus accoutred, than if bedizened with lace, and holding the reins of a mag nificent barb, caparisoned and har nessed for glorious war. But to one who bad seen him as I had at Cold Hat borand Malvern Hill in the rain of shell and the blaze of the death lights of the battle-field, when nothing less than a mountain would serve as a breast work against the 36. inch shells which howled and shrieked through the sickly air, Gen eral Jackson in tatters would be the same hero as General Jackson in gild• eel uniform. In my siinple view be is a nonpareil—he is without a peer.— Ie has enough energy to supply a whole manufacturing aistrict—enou gh military genius to stock two or three military schools of the size of West P•Aut. STRENGTH OE THE REBEL ARISIY.- 001. A. 11. Adler, a Hungarian lately in the rebel service, but who on cer taro suspicions respecting his loyalty was arrested and subsequently escap ed, has made a statement, which per haps is entitled to some degree of credit. During his confinement ho employ. ed a man whom be had long known and served to watch Gen. Winder, the military commandantof the city, and to bring him exact intelligence This information, aided by his own intimate knowledge of the rebel or ganization, plans, &c., enabled him to make out the following figures:— REBEL FORCES MARCFUNG NORTHWARD Under Gen. Jue Johneen, 60,000 men "Stonewall" Jaeluton, 45,000 men Longrtrettes Corps. 18,000 men Gen. E. It. Hill, 16,000 men Gen. A. P. 1111!, 12,000 men Gen. Rosa, of Alabama, 0,000 men Gen. Craig, of south Carolina, 12,000 tuen Gen- Huger's Division, - 12,000 men Independent corps- from Georgia, S. and N. Carolina, Alabama, 60,000 men Infantry, 243,000 men Cavalry, including Gen. Stuart's command of 4,200 men, 20,000 men EMI Of artillery, the force is not espe cially mentioned, but 150 pieces were sent with •Stonewall" Jackson alone and the entire parks are not less in total than 400. The cavalry is ac companied by 18 and 24. pounders, and the most, of entire amount of ar tillery consists Of field-pieces, very many of them rifled and of the most modern pattern. Gen. Ewell's Corps alone amounts to 28,000 men apart from Jackson's, but- it is thrown in as a part of Jack. son':3 force, although Col: Adler gives it its fell value. He states that 57 fine pieces of ordnance were left be hind by Gen. McClellan on the Chick. abominy, and all of there have been made available. The army, then, im• mediately in front of and on the flanks of Gen. Pope, extending from the line of Gordonsville toward Leesburg, is fUlly 200,000 men. Col. Adler encl. sed expressions of much surprise when he made the same Nth te e t to the highest military authorities at Washington; but he insists upon its t 'Jaunt gib fitrtiser, A FAMILY PAPER FORTOWN AND coirNtscr.

An Amusing Historiette Developed 86- fore the Paris Police in the presence of a wine merchant and his wife, two distinguished mem; hers of the canaille, Sariol and Tar. ban by name, entered into articles of co partnership for the purchase of a small keg of brandy, With the ttnder- Btandin g that it was to be peddled oat by the glass, at the fair of St. Denis; the annual fete of a village in the en , virons of the capital, the terms of the association being that the profits of the venture Should be equally divided between the itinerant merchants.— Every thing was drawn up in due form and among the carious articles of.the 'agreement was one fixing the pried of a 'smaller' at four sous. On the evening of the t ery first day that the partners Comthenced op: erations, both Sariol and Turban were picked up by the police, in a most woz int plight, their garments in rags, their eyes in deep mourningand their scalps partially denuded of the eapil• lary embellishment. Their financial situation may be summed up ih twd words—am empty keg and a copper coin of the value of tWO Appearing on the following morn. - - ing before the Police tribunal, charg-; ed with assault and buttery and re-: sistance to the public authorities, the following thoroughly Frenehy teeter were elicited —The: tit() speculators had duly started for th's faif ground's at St. Denis, taking with theta the keg of brandy. Upon arriving at the' suburb of La Chapelle, Sariol said to' Turban, 'Turban, my boy, 1 think take a stiffener;' to which Turbot replied, 'Well, I think that's cool, an yhow I You know, 1 s'pose, that that 'ere brandy isn't yours alone; it be- - longs to us both 'That's so I' re. turned•Sariol, 'and PH tell you how we'll manage it; the price of a small er is four sous, so I'll just give yotf two sous, and that'll make us square' l 'All right,' said Turban, mollified ; 'that's lair enough.' So Sariol gavei his partner a two sous piece and took his 'stiflenct.' The pair had gone !MC a abort die thnce further when Turban suddenly' remarked, '1 think I'll take a rewiyer now, myself.' 'Of course you mead to pay me two sous ?' said Sariol. 'To be sure I do,' answered the other.-- Whereupon ho drank a glass of bran dy, and handed back the esapper. After plodding on andtber. Sari-;: of broke in with, 'By jingo,l gain fox' goods at half price ! As a smaller costs me two sous instead of four, take an - other I' To which Turban a greed at once, and again received the two-sous piece. Five minutes after- - ward lie told Sa.riol that his logic was, quite correct—two sons for a glass of grog was an unprecedentedly low price— took a drink, and once more returned the' copper coin. And so it went on, at fre- - quent intervals, until the pair at length reached St. Denis, congratulating them selves upon , their happy discovery of brandy of half price. It is superfluous to remark that when they arrived, they trefe not particularly attentive to business,•and were struck with the single idea that the more they drank the more money they made. Governed by this notion, they rapidly circulated the two sous piece, um= til the keg was at last found to be empty; whereupon Turban suddenly ekcfaimed— 'Hallo, how's this We bought six francs' worth of brandy, it's all out, and there's only two sous In the till r 'What d'ye mean by only two sous ?' That's all there is, my boy." Then, by thunder; you've robbed the cash box r This was the signal for a bout at fistictrlTS, followed by the interference of the police, when the two partners turned their united fore.: es against the officers, were overcome by' superior numbers, captured, lodged in the nearest station hoilse; examined - the next morning, and sent to durance vile for eight days.
