( ().Ijt FRIDAY, OCTOBER al, 1862. or We can take no notice of anonymous connuunioa- Wats.

TILE WAR. We have reports from the Southwest that Price is concentrating an imme se army at-Holly Springs, some reports stating the force at seventy thousand men. While this seems to us an exaggerated esti mate, it is not improbable that Price is anxious to retrieve the fortunes of Corinth, and may a second time attack that post. Gen Grant is on the alert for uoh a movement, and is now encircling the village with what may be termed an inner line of defence, which, when completed, will make Corinth im pregnable to the assault of ton times the force of its garrison. All troops and c 4 contrabands" in, the vicinity are employed daily on the earthworks, and the high ground by which the place is nearly encircled will soon ho a cont'nuous string of forts, within supporting distance of each other where not actually connected. Should it be the design of Van Dorn's successor to attempt the capture of Helena, however, he will find General Curtis equally welt prepared to receive him. THE 'NEWS.

WE understand that seventeen of the men dr6f , ed in Lycoming county wore discharged at Harrisburg. If so, about forty in all have been discharged there and here. Tna New York City Tract Society has, during the last year, distributed 78,0/6 tracts and 602 bound volumes. Ton runaway servant of a rebel artillery ofrieer, from Charlestown, says that Hill's and Jackson's whole force have moved from Bunker 11111 to Charlestown, oociapying the whole of the villake and a mile this side'of it. General A. P. Bill has occupied the declivity half a mile beyond the vii loge, on the Winchester road, with another large force. Two regiments of Stuart's cavalry are this side of Charlestown. The remaining force is on . the other side, between Charlestown and Mrs. Fleming's farm, three miles off. The beating of their drums is heard distinctly at Ilalltown by our pickets.

Inca; MAKING, at Marquette, Michigan, appears to be very profitable at present.. The Pioneer fur- IMO is to be run under contract, for three years, the contractor furnishing all the material and labor, and delivering the iron free on b3ard, at Marquette, for seventeen dollars per ton. The iron sells readily there for twenty seven dollars per ton, and conside rable profit can be realized at that figure, in ship ping it below. Tun printing of cards, circulars, &c., does not suhject the printer to taxation, but the sate of the same requires the license of a retail dealer.

Labor and Liberty In a recent paragraph the types misrepre sented an idea we expressed in relation to our cause, so far as it involved the prosperity of free labor. The misrepresentation enables us to return to a subject which .may admit of further discussion. cc We desire to place the white laboring man of the North, who has his bread to earn, on an equality with the white laboring man of the South, who must_earn his in squalidness and misery."' This is what we printed, although it is of course directly the reverse of what we intended to say. The cause of free labor is one of the most import ant involved in this war. Labor is the element of every nation's greatness. All things that are mighty and prosperous spring from it. It is the seed of true liberty. Commerce, agriculture, manufactures, the cotton we grow, and spin, and send to Europe and Asia, all represent labor. The end of all government_ is the people's happiness; the people's happiness is only insured when the blessings of life are equally and generally distributed ; and these blessings come from labor as naturally as the ear of corn comes from the kernel. The meaning of republi -canism is that labor shall be independent; that every man may, earn hig dollar in the way that best pleases him, without the tyranny of the taskmaster or the restrictions of the capi talist. We sit under our own vine and fig tree, with no one to molest and none to make us afraid. How is it in a Northern community ? Any village on the line of our railroad's may be taken as a type. A hundred men are thrown by the frellia,a...fpr,o-Thborlie have a talent for mechanism; others for the finer. arts ; others are familiar with the times and changes of the seasons, and note all the phe nomena of the harvests. Each follows his calling. The wants of all in regard to clothing, machinery, instruction, and excitement become sources of industry. One man makes hoots ; another cuts cloth and sews it into coats; others bake bread and prepare beef, and shoe horses and make ploughshares, and bring coffee and tea from a neighboring town and sell it in small parcels. There may be others of larger ambition; so they open a public school or practice law, or minister to the diseases of their neighbors, or preach sertnons, or buy a fount of type and print a weekly newspa per. The mental and iftysical wants of all are supplied. Lire comes and goes with its little cares and excitements." The laws of political economy gradually be come operative ; there are the laws of sup ply and demand, profit and loss ; some are thrifty, and become rich; others are extrava gant, and remain poor; one generation passes away; another comes upon the stage, and weary footed Time walks hami•itt-hand with impatient Progress. Houses, and mansions, ' and wide streets, and beautiful temples, where God is worshipped ; magazines and daily news - papers ; a theatre, a railway, a prison, an almshouse, an hospital, and a library, gradu ally appear. The census is numbered by tens of thousands, a city charter is granted, and a member of Congress is chosen. The village has b:.-come a metropolis, and the doings of its . stock exchange and grain market are eagerly canvassed in the counting-rooms of London. On the banks of a Virginia river a young man comes into possession of a large farm and a number of negroes. He has inherited a lordly revenue and luxurious tastes. He is compelled to assume a certain degree of state, and, to maintain it, he must tease and torture the earth to give forth its richest harvests. He has no time to observe those gentle laws of nature which must always be observed, or barrenness and desolation will surely come. The demands of an expensive life—the wine cup, the dice-box, the horse-race—or the fancy of some beautiful woman must be sails- fied. So be plants cotton or tabacco from year to year, until, at last, the 'exhausted earth refuses its tribute. Then the negroes are sold into the more distant South, the lands fall into decay, the mansion becomes warped and ungainly, and in a flash of false and nut atural splendor the glory of the planter expires. Ile has lived for a certain .number of years—he has tilled the earth and bartered its produce, but the labor of the hun drsd men who lived with him has ended in nothing but bonds and mortgages, an old house, and a number of untenanted shanties where the negroes had lived before. In the meantime fortune has'throw a a number of white men into hikneighborbood. They are anxious to live and be happy, to earn their bread and at the • ame time worship Ga—keep progress with the weed around them by cblannunication and association, and educate the children that may ii come to them. They will make shoes or Clothes, or ploughillares, or do anything that liandim aft or genius may suggest. They meow that labor is the great law of life—and they desire to labor. They desire to do , so with a high purpose, and fJr the ob ject of elevating and advancing one another. But they fied an antagonism they cannot over come. It disheartens, and crushes, and dwarfs them. A hundred black men, instead of labor ing for themselves and one another, as men should do, labor for one who holds their 1 hefty, their energies, and their lives at his command. They must not read nor search into the cause and purpose of their exis' once. They must to slaves, and no influence can exist that teaches them otherwise, Or attempts to give them that strength which no cha 4 ns can bind. At tifizial and unnatural laws are made—and caste is engendered. Labor becomes capital, and capital can only be strong when labor is degrade& So the hundred, white men who have rio., money, and the hundred black men whose liberty is not their own, become the creatures of the capitalist and landholder almost as ab solutely as if they lived, together in the hovels-. of his plantation. The capitalist assumes power, and in the ignorance of those around him his power becomes arbitrary and un questioned. Time passes ou ; other genera tions come upon the scene; but -their only heritage is ignorance, superstition, misery, and servitude. They inherit inferiority; for they find the rulers of the land a rich and proud few, who govern them with far more sternness than did auy baron of old his vassals. The sunlight of intelligence never falls over their threshold; the world is hidden from them, and they live in Cimmerian dark ness. We have taken illustrations that might be reduplicated in any county of Pennsylvania or Virginia. We have shown two systems-- the false and the true—a system in which we see the spirit of Republicanism, and the other in which we see the Spirit of Aristocracy. They cannot harmonize. Freedom and Tyranny can never lire together; one or the other must die. Degrade labor and nothing remains but the ashes of a mouldering past, stones, and rocks, and ruins, over which the moss is growing. Degrade labor and you degrade man. Intelli gence, liberty, religion, truth, love, all pass away, and we become senseless, grovelling things, like the beasts of the field and forest. In this contest we have a war , of free labor against slave labor— of progress against decay. The cause has been championed before, for it is the old contest of truth against falsehood, justice against oppression. It is the old cause, and we hail it with the old cry of "God speed the Right." Are the Rebels Retreating'? For a week past we have had daily reports that the rebel army was leaving northern Vir ginia, and yet, at the present writing, the statement awaits full confirmation. Whether the cause be the secrecy of the enemy's move ments, or whether the mystery be official, and attributable to the strictness of our own cen sorship, it is difficult to say. From what in formation can, be obtained, It is, nevertheless, evident. that the enemy must retreat farther South, or fight a battle before a week has passed ; and the impression seems to gain ground that a severe conflict is imminent. Up to Wednesday evening there was nothing con.: firmatory of the report that LEE was moving .towards Gordonsville. The fact of General 11 - cOnannhar's intention to -.,advance, and, if possible, give battle, must have been known to him, and yet the bulk of his army, according to our despatches, was en camped on the west bank of Opequan creek, stretching north from Martins burg to Bunker Hill, and presenting a line at least ten miles in length. The troops thus situated were reported to be under the com mand of Generals HILL, JACKSON, and RAMP TON. LEE and STIY-ART were near Shepherds town—and when these two worthies are in conjunction, some dashing coup is pretty cer tain to be devised. Winchester was still in possession of the enemy, and their pickets had even appeared before Charlestown, which is only about seven miles from Harper's Ferry. There was nothing in all this to indicate that a rebel retreat was in actual progress. The enemy had not appeared in any force east of the Blue Ridge, though of course Ashby's and Snicker's Gaps were well guarded. In general terms, their purpose seemed to be to :maintain a menacing attitude until the last moment, in the hope that some thing favorable to their cause might occur in the interim of delay. Thus, while really meditating a retrograde movement, which in any event seems to be a necessity with them, they could feign to threaten Mary land, andethirs place our army on the de fensive, although it is very:probably superior to their own in numerical strength, and un doubtedly superior in morale and discipline. To secure the success of this plan, it would only be requisite that the passes of the Blue Ridge Eheuld_ be guarded against the possi bility of a visit from General SIGEL, and that the Potomac should not be swollen by a storm so as to render the guarding of the upper fords unnecessary by our troops. Both of these conditions appear to have been fulfilled. As concerns the first, the rebels have not only taken precautions at home to prevent Rank ing, but have sent reconnoitring parties to Upperville, and even as far east as /Wits, to see that no such movement was being at tempted. Having possession of these mountain passes, they are not only secure for the time, but, of course, can move rapidly off to Gordonsville,whenever they desire, and reach their entrenchments at that point in ad vance of General MCQLELLAN. Supposing "At 149/......*-oap i nlrtheydoubtless would, they would only have a march of about seventy miles, in a line almost due south, and if scared could easily traverse the distance within two days. As ,regards the second condition on 'which the rebels must rely for holding their position:around Winchester—the possibility of fording the Potomac—they would seem like wise to have a decided advantage. There have been heavy rains during the past week, but unfortunately they do not seem to have extended'so far south as e( the situation," and the narrow stream which now divides the op posing armies has responded only by a few inches rise. This may explain the Vexatious delay attending LEE'S retreat, as well as the fact of SUMNER 's corps <remaining at Bolivar Heights, instead of crossing into Virginia with IicOtELLAN. Until we receive more definite information, therefore, we"cannot conclude that LEE has commenced to retreat. The mere fact of his having sent his disabled men and superfluous baggage southward through Front Royal is inconclusive of this point, and may indicate a determination on his' part to make another desperate effort to delay our advance, and crip ple the effectiveness of our army for a season, until Winter shall have set his seal of truce on military operations. Pennsylvania Volunteers. Further advices from General MtroftELL's recent brilliant reconnoissance show that enn sylvania troops fairly carried off the honors of the day. The troops from our State that were engaged were six hundred of the 47th, under Colonel Goon, four hundred'of the 65th, under Colonel WRITE, and the 76th. A correspond ent by no means disposed to report matters in our favor is thus constrained to write : it If heavy losses may indicate gallantry, the palm may be given to Col, Goon's noble regi ment, the 47th Permsylvania Volunteers. Upon this command the brunt of the battle fell. Out of six hundred who went into ac tion, nearly one hundred and fifty were killed or wounded. All the _Keystone troops did spendidly." To this is to be added that the chief work done by the navy in this affair was splendidly achieved through Pennsylvania leaders. The naval command was held by that gallant South Caro linian, whose heart is as true to the Union as his genius is adequate to the important professional duties assigned him, CHARLES STEEDNAN ; while the finest frigate of the ser vice, the pride of Philadelphia workmanship, the Wabash, hand somely seconded the efforts of Commander SrnEn3rAx. The ultimate object of General threuctn's undertaking failed only for want of material and men. Let him be reinforced spGedily from those quarters that have just shown their native prowess, and the viper!s nest of rebellion is doomed. Public Entertainments WALNUT.

'HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF 'FRE Poroued, Thumlay Evening, October SO —A force of cavalry belonging to the coxunand of General Kelly left Cumberland yester day, making a forced march into Virginia, in search of the rebel marauding cavalry who had been committing depredations in that section. They marched all night, and came top with them this morning, capturing sixteen prisoners and twenty horses; also, one htmdred and fifty head of Cattle, which these guerillas had stolen from the citizens of an sijoining county. The rebel pickets, under General Walker, at Upper villa, were driven from that place yesterday after noon. The infantry were said to have marched to Snickersville, their intention evidently being to escape to the right of the Blue Ridge mountains, by way of snicker's Gap. This is the only news from this section to. day. The orders of the commanding general of this army are being carried out day and night with all possible de !match.

The Merrimac No. 2 FORTRESS MONROE, October 28.—A man who says he was taken prisoner by the rebels several months ago, and who finally succeeded in obtaining his release, pub lishes the following account of the rebel eteamer Merri mac No. 2: " I have been at Richmond for some time. During my stay I went on board the Merrimac No. 2. She is tho roughly and heavily clad wilb iron, and in every way a tough customer. idhe bee yet but one gun on board, but the other guns were ready when I left, and the rebels were about placing them on board. They intended to have them all mounted in three weeks. Her machinery works well, and she can easily make eight m lee an hour. The rebels have every confidence in her capability, and are certain that she will prove a successes. When the people of the Nor.h bear that the Merrimac No. 2 is a failure, and that the rtbels declare her to be so, thenthey may expect her out to do all the damage she can. Their intention is to delude and deceive as much as passible so as to take ne tapping. For this reason a rebel officer mete the remark Mat the ebstructions on the Ismes river, at Fort Darling, had been removed, intending evidentete convey the idea chit the obstructions heel been ren oved to let the Merrimac out it An Unknown Ship Dimmed FORTRESS - MONROE, OCtOber 29. 7 -The Baltimore boat GeOrgiana, fJapt. Pearson, arrived here at 8 o'clock this scorning. Capt. Pearson reports tbat„about 2 o'clock ibis' teeming he saw the light of a burning ship,.which was about 25 miles] distant. At 4 o'clock Capt. Pearson mad a boat to the burning Ship Just before it reached her the mizzen mast fell, and the ship was so math burned that her name canld not be made out. Her life beats, were all gone, and she was on anchor, with her two Quarter boats on f eck, bottom np. There was no one on board, and no one in halling distance. The ship being at anchor, leads to the conclusion that the ship had been fired and deserted. There tire a variety of rumors afloat here respecting the ship. Sme facta make it appear as if there lad been a mutiny on board, n bile some Per sona Ibitk that the rebels halve committed the act. The steamer Met amora left Fortress Monroe at noon for Aiken's L.ending. She only took Up four chaplains end three doctors for exchange. The Maple Leaf ar rived here this afternoon, but did not bring the two hun dred rebel prisoners, as was expected, from Fort Mc- Henry. The last lot of rebel prisoners sent to Aikon's Landing was not responded to by the Confederate Go vernment, and that may be the reason for the detention of the prisoner's at Fort McHenry. The gunboat Miami arrived at Fortress Monroe this afternoon, and now lies at the Government wharf, taking on board heavier guns than she has heretofore carried.

Ouch a response was wor thy such soldiers, and of the country and cause for which they fought. I have now received the reports of the various commanders. I have now to tell you that the magnitude of the stake, the battle, and the results become more than ever apparent. Upon the Line of this fight depended the possession of West Tennessee, and perhaps even the fate of cperations in Kentucky. The entire available 'force of the rebels in lltliesitsippf, save a few garriaons aid a small resat., attacked you. They were command ed by Van Porn, Price, Yillielgtie, Rust, Armstrong, Manly. aid others, in person.

General Mitchell and the Coitrabands. General Mitchell, In a letter to £ ecretary Chase, dated Hilton Head, October 13, Bays: I think. Governor, yon are mistaken when you say General Seaton is to act tinder try orders. His letter of instruction stater, in so many words, that he is to act nadir the orders cf the Secretary of War. If be wore, indeed, under my orders, I bare an Immense work for him to do, which I would commence without an hour's delay. I would begin the organization of my plantation system. A perfect census of all the blacks inhabiting the Wands would be promptly made. My model plantation, with its fields, fences, seeds, tillage, imp'ements. houses, furl Hare. So , would be organized with as little deitty as poerible. I would commence the buildings, which will be required for the large accessions of population which will certainly come to us when we break through the enemy's line on the main land, which we are determined to do. I would have all the blacks distinctly Informed sa to the plan by which they were to be governed. educated. and made industrious and worthy citinne. I would tell them that The fruits of eh. , irf u lure tea would be con retro tti hereof ter to lhei own benefit; to each family on the plantation I would give a separate etc:Ming, with a patch for their own private cultivation as a little gar den. From estimate, which I have carefully made, I am quite certain that an industrious family of three p:reons will certainly save from one hundred and fifty to two hundred dollar, each year In five years such a family would bare laid up in the Plantation Bank en amount enfficient to make them Independent. And then with In dustrious Imbue, with religious instruction, with correct moral views and sentiment", with minds properly treired to self-dependence. they might elect their own he met if they so cbote. and begin the world for themselves.

HIS PETITION FOR A WRIT OF HAMS CORPUS. THE OPINION OF JUDGE CLIFFORD, On Saturday lest, W. H. Winder, of Philadelphia, through him counsel, presented his petition for a writ of habeas corpus, to Judge Clifford, associate instice ef the Supreme Court of the United State sitting in Doeton. He Mateo in the petition that he was arrested. in Philadelphia, by order of Secretary Cameron, and immediately transferred to Fort Lafayette, and thence to Fort Warren, where he now is. He also atates that he does Dec knew on what grounds he has bean arrested, and that be hoe petitioned several times for his liberty, fret without effect. He therefore applied to Judge Clif ford to.larats a writ of habeas corpus to Colonel Dimmlok, of Fort Warren, so that be can be brought before I 4 his honor, to dog submit to, and receive what the laws may rcquire." To this petition Judge Clifford delivered the following charge: • 'ibis lea petition for a writ of habeas corona, wherein the petitioner represents that for a long time past he has been confined la Fort Warren, a military fort of the United Smtes, in this Markt, under the command of Colonel Justin Dlmmick, where and by whom he is Ille gally restrained of his liberty. A s a foundation of the application, and to Show that the prayer of the petitioner ought to;be granted, he al leges that be is and always has been a lops! citizen of the United Stater', out that until the time of his arrest, as thetein set forth, he bad been &resident of the Com monwealth of Pennstivania, and the complaint is, that while he was eo resident there, he was, on the eleventh day of September, 1561, arrested at hie residence in the city of l'hilodeltible, under a warrant purporting to have been issued by &commissioner of the United States, upon a charge of conspiracy to overthrow the Government of the United Sta-ce. According to the petition that warrant was founded upon the act of Congress of the thirteenth of July, 1881 •, but tbe petitioner avers that he was entirely bailment of that charge or of any other offence against the United Stake; that be urged an immediate hearing , or the cage on the day of hie arrest, which was refused on the ground that the District Attorney had other engage ments, and the same mos postponed to the thirteenth day of the same month, when he wee again present, and ready and anxious to meet the charge, but that the District Attorney, after etatiog that he had no charge to prefer against him, informed him that an order bad been received that he should.be delivered to the Mar shal of the United States for that district; that he was ecoordinely discharged by the Commissioner, and was, then and there, without any warrant or canto of com mitment being exhibited to him or to his counsel, imme diately seized and taken into custody by William Kin ward, Marshal of that district. When the District At torney, however, informed the petitioner that any order had been received that be, the petitioner, snould be de livered to the Marshal, he at the same time, as the peti tioner etstes, handed to his counsel, who was present with him, a telegraph despatch, addreseed to the Dia trict Attorney, of the following tairport : "Have telegraphed Marshal Millward to arrest Wm. H. Wunter, and transfer him to Fort Lafayette. S. CAMERON, Bec'Y of War." Recurring to the COPY of the telegram as given in the petition, it will be Been that it wee dated at Washington on the 11th day of September, 1861, two days before the petitioner was taken into custody by the Maraud, and the petitioner states that on the' same afternoon that he was E 0 seized be was removed to the oily of New York by a person believed to be a deputy or officer of the Her *that, and upon reaching that city was carried to Fort Lafayette, "a military fort of the United States, under an order of which the following is a copy "Permit me to introduce to you my deputy, Mr. Share ky, who carries with him Mr. Winder, to be delivered to your custedy, per order of the Secretary of War." Said order or letter was dated at Philadelphia on the thirteenth day of September, 1861, and wee addressed to the commandant at Fort Hamilton, and was signed by the merahed. Having stated these proceedings, the petitioner avers that he has never seen the order or pretended order of the Secretary of War, and for reasons set forth in the petition be does not believe that any euch order ever existed, but that he remained in Fort Lafayette, eo un lanfolly restrained of his liberty, under color of some order or pretended order of the Secretary of War, or of some other parson, until some time towards the Last of October or the first cf. November, 1881, when he was transferred, under some order or direction to him un known, to the military fort before mentioned, in this district, under the command of Colonel Justin Gim mick, in which piece he has ever sine been detained in custody, and now is unlawfully restrained of hie liberty. On the sth day of December, 1861, he addressed a let ter to the Secretary of State, soliciting leave to visit Washington on parole, for the examination of his case, or that he might be furnished with a statement of the charges against him; but as no reply was received.to the communication it wilt not be reproduced at the present ti 4 e. Failing to get any reply to that Letter, on the 22d day of February, 1862, be addressed another letter to the present Secretary of War, but so far as appears the communication was never answered. Believing it to be impossible that the former Secretary of War, General Simon Cameron, would, of his own motion, have autho rized his west., the petitioner states that he, on the 15th day of March, 1862, wrote to General Cameron neon the eubject, Worming him that it was by his order that be, 'the petitioner, was seized and taken from Philadelphia tO Feet Lafayette, and there placed In confinement, And afterwards transferred to Fort Warren, and inquired at whose irtelauce, and upon what representations ; he hal been induced to issue the order. To that letter, as the petitioner states, a reply was re ceived :under date of the 24th day of March, 1862, and be gives what purports to be a copy of the answer-- enffice. it so pay, without attempting to give the precise langiage, the write rexpreasee hie shrprise at the remark , of the petitioner that it was by his order that he bad been taken from Philadelphia to Fat Lafayette and lamed In 'confinement: On the contrary, he expressly states that be knew nothing of the petitioner's arrest until be eeW the fact' stated in the newspapers, and adds several circumstances cenfirmetary of that statement. Confirmed by that letter in the opinion that the name of ;the :former Secretary of War had been used with ent his knowledge or inadvertently, the petitioner states that on the thirty-first day of same month, he wrote General Cameron another letter, thanking him for his prompt reply, and famished him with a copy of the do cument under which the commandant of Fort Hamilton took charge of him and placed him in Fort Lafayette— and alto a copy of bit telegraihio despatch to the District Attoreey, which wee handed to his counsel at the time be was diecharged by the Coromhsioner. Oonaidetiog that the reply of General Cameron its a brief one, it will be given in the language of the copy set forth in the petition; . Local - EL, April 2,.1862. W. H. Wind -sr, Esq --Sue : I have 'enclosed your letter (of the Met), received to•dav, to the' Secretary or -B:ate, and disavowed all knowledge of your arrest, with a nuuest for your release, if you have been held by my direction. Very reiptctfulli, SIMON OAllESOiI• Various other matters are stated in the petition, which nc«l not be particularly noticed at this stage"of the case, except to Bay that the petitioner, in - conclusion, avers that he has been nearly fourteen months unlaw fully restrained of his liberty, and detained in custody, Hader color of some pretended authority of the 'United States, without ear apecilic crime or offence being im puted to him, in disregard of the plain provisions of the Constitution of the United States and the laws of Con gress, to the.benefit of which every citizen is entitled. Be accordingly prase the court to grant this writ of habeas corpus. LBy the 14th section of ,the act of the 2.5 th of Septem ber' 1;89, it is provided, Among other things, that either -- si a ircojii - c LaT u nt- e li fe Qgiswra t ,C,orr_t of the United have rower to grant 'writs of habeas COrritis for the pur pose of inquiring into the cause of commitment—pro. vidtd, that writs of habeas corpus shall in no case ex. tend to prisoners in jail, arlets whe?e they are in custody rimier or by color of the authority of the United States, or are committed for trial before some court of the same, or are necessary to be brought into court to testify. Ad ditional authority upon the subject is also conferred by subsequent acts of Congress, but it is unnecessary to re fer to any Mier act. as the petition in this case is ob sirmtly founded upon the before mentioned P:CTiSiOII of the Judici , ry act. Courts of justice may refuse to grant the writ of habeas ccrpne where no probable ground for relief is shown in the petition, or where it appears that the petitioner is dilly committed for felony or treason plainly expressed in the warrant of commitment; but where probable ground is shown that the party in in custcdy under or by color of the authority of the United States, and is imprisoned without just cause, and, there fore, has a right to be delivered, the writ of habeas corpus then becomes a writ of right, which may not be denied, but ought to be granted to every man who is committed or detained in prison, or otherwise restrained of his liberty; Authorities in support of theie positions are unnecessary, as wherever the principles of the com mon law are adopted or recognized they are universally acknowledged. Altbcngh the petitioner was arrested in the first Mace, by virtue of a warrant isened by a Commissioner of the United States, sill the case, as stated in the petition, shows that be was discharged from that arrest, and that nc warrant of any kind bat since been issued against him. Assuming the case to be as stated in the petition, he Wall not only arrested and Imprisoned under an order having no other sanction than that of a telegraph despatch, but It now appears from the petition that the Secretary of War, who was euppoYed to have sent or authorized the telegram containing the order, denies all knowledge of the arrest of the petitioner, except as be learned the fart from the newspapers, and entirety disavows' the respond. Willy for the proceedings. rotbiog nerd be added to the narrative of the facts as set forth in the petition, to demonstrate that the petition shows probable ground to conclude that he is imprisoned aid restrained of his liberty without just cause. Un donbted 7 he is in custody under, or by color of autho rity of the United States, and, such being the fact, all the requisites known to the law are shown to entitle the petitioner to the writ for which he prays, and on that state of the case, it becomes the duty of the court to grant it. When these pre-requisites appear ft Is not ccometent for the court to deny the application, because the court has in such case no discretion upon the sub ject, but the writ must issue as a matter of right. All these remarks must be understood as based entire ly upon the facts as stated In the petition, and, of course, can have no application to any different state of facts 'which may be shown upon the return. FROM HILTON HEAD. Capture of an Aimlo-rebel Steamer—The Late Reconnoissance. • HILTON HEAD October 22. The British steamer Wachnta Oaptt:in Gilpin, was brought into port on Thursday last, a prize to the gunboat Memphis, Commander Watmangh. She was captured, after an all.day 'a chase, off the coast of north Carolina. In the endeavor to escape she threw overboard the greater portion of her (ergo, and en strained her engines as to be unable to make steam. She is believed to have been loadtd with arms and ammunition. The Wachnts is an bon steamer, built in London, and will prove a valuable and useful prize. She will be sent north for condemna tion.

Those aerial people, the fairies, in particular, are said on that occasion to hold a solemn convocation, a grand anniversary. Burns has celebrated in a style in which no ether poet can hope to do the inimitable fa.acies and freaks which mark the period of hallowtide and dis tinguish it from all other festivities. _However much it may have been observed elsewhere and at other times, it is certain we have gradually dis continued the merry-makings which once made a wild carnival out of the occasion. Our modern orgies are limited to family parties, or small companies; chivalrous old gentlemen no longer emulate each other in exploits with the bottle, and Halloween, once the night of so much uproarious merriment, has now simmered down for the moat part into prim respectability. Still there le( enough to separate and distinguish it from: all other evenings or the year.

It is the hour also when servants, after wailing for the sixth summons of the clapper or knocker, at length stealthily preparing for answer, hide in ambush, and make a sudden sally upon the imperti nent foe. Among some families where jollity is the order of the day, and the reign of some Lord of Misrule is sought for, the goodly.custom of celebrating Halloween yet sur vives, and is entered into with zest by both old and young. Family gatherings, met for the sole purpose of enjoyment, revive,'at least for a while, the spirit of the past. .A very engaging device is to suspend from the ceiling a rope, to which is attached a little Scaffolding of candies or apples, and require each of the company, the hands being tied, to grasp the fruit with the teeth.

Then they used to dive with their mouths for apples in tuba of water; they cracked nuts, end drew cabbages; tkey took pills componnded of butter and sugar, mixed with grated hazel-nuts and nutmegs; they haunted church doors at midnight, and exorcised visiona with versiclea ; they mounted on poles blazing faggots of heath and breoM and flax-dressings ; they made immense bon fires among the froze, with brimming beakers and flaw ing cups of ale, they invoked the sea-god, standing In the surf at twilight ; they gave alms, they jingled bells, and they sprinkled water; they drank white wine, and they drank ale and milk mingled with apples roasted and bruised ; they told fortunes from:the tracks of snails among ashes, they supped off parsnips, and made dumb, somas, seed and oat cakes, which they kept like the show• bread in the Bible. Pantries and pancakes, apple.- parings and lemon-peels, hemp seed and green peascods, sprigs of ash and lady-birds, and a hundred other things, formed the sum of their entertainments. The devices of the maidens for finding out their own true loves ware in finite. Nowada, a, however, true loves are either vary scarce or they are past finding out. Mammas generally settle this thing, and who shall say that, after all, this is not the most genteel metbcdl The gentle Judgment of mamma entirely enpersedoe all solicitude on the pert of the daughter. If, Indeed, there were any truth in the preeerithd forme of old by which the spirits of the absent or departed were invoked, how many of those who met their doom, either in the camp, in the hospital, or in the field, would be conjared to night to render tack a voice of the past ! We sincerely hope that this could be done, and so brighten with dear me •meries the fleeting hours of Halloween. FAREWELL SERMON OF THE REV. D.R. DALE.—The United Presbyterian church, at the north east corner of Sixteenth and Race streets, was last night filled with a congregation assembled to bid adieu for a session to their pastor. The Reverend Dr. Dale hes been connected with We church for the" last twenty-two SOWS, and is jastly beloved and revered by Lis large and intleential charge. Re is about to become a traveller for come els or eight months, in the direction of Egypt and the Holy Land, the health of a member of his family, and the fact of his having relatives there, rendering this desirable. He will be ac companied by Dr. Protley, of Pittsburg, by who n, also, be was assisted last evening. During his absence, the pulpit will probably be filled by students from the Alle gheny Theological Seminar,. The exercises of last evening commenced at a quarter to eight o'clock, with elating and prayer Dr. Dale then referred to a remark which had been made the previous Thursday evening, relative to this being perhaps the last occasion which ho and hie dock should enjoy of bolding communion together. He then said that, in accordance with a request made, the intended services would be waived, and others, be knew not what, substituted by those who had proposed the alteration The regular benediction was then pronounced, at er which the minutes of the previous meeting were read. Mr. Getty then made an appropriate speech, alluding to the long pastorate of Dr. Dale, to his efficiency and influence, and to the deep veneration and love of his congregation, cloeing by presenting Dr. Dale, on behalf of the latter, with a puree' of five hundred dollars, collected since Monday last. This fact alone speaks volumes Dr. Dale will leave in a day or so. The services last evening were of an extremely interesting character, not only to the congregation, but also to those present who were strangers. RICCIWITING IN THE CITY.—The 157th Beers ent of Fenner 'Tanta Volunteers, Colonel William A. Grey, is meeting with considerable littlCO 3 / 1 , and the headquarters of the regiment, 027 Chestnut street,, pre tents a lively appearance. Colonel Gray was in the des perate tight of Cedar Mountain and other skirmishes in Virginia, which is an inducement to those volunteering, as they will have an experienced officer over them A bounty of three hundred and fifteen dollars is offered to any one now enlisting. We call attention to the adver th ement iu this paper. Ebe officers or the old regiments are making increased eaertione to fill their organizations, and it la among the veteran troops where the men will be of the most ser vice to the Government at the present time. Besides, we should think that it would ha far preferable to share the glories of the gallant fellows now in the field, and to serve under the bullet torn banners with the names of ncrocrone battles inscribed upon them, than to be 11 ing idle for several months in a camp of instruction. Some reports have been circulated that the officers of the old resit:runts and the Committee baring charm of the Citizens' Bounty Fund are not upon the best of terms. These et: rtes, we are enured, are not correct. The Mum:ate° have alwath been friendly to the regi ments in the field, and are disposed to lender Them any aid poteible. DBAFTXD lthiN AND THBEE-YEARS liri/EN —The inbouring of conso.ipts to this camp, situ ated at Heatonvine, continues unabated. Though scantily provided, as set, with camp equipage, cooking utecualls, d - c., it presents one of %one novel and animated soenes often wituesetd at a country full', Lager, Seltzer, end rotns fellows eta the staple comn3oditiee. RLany how:lade were mustered Into tervice peaterlay by Lisa: C:01 CLa; Iltff .; slitl more tame. staving man, moods ids armtutztei. W 9 t^6r6 ttSt 6 at3yeanat is Ott foot =pa& th nt. mometer fruiting officers of the thess-ream regiments to enlist as many of these men for the war as possible, permission to that afoot having been granted. Yesterday a warm bar of the three-year offioeri visited Camp Phtladelphie for that purpose, but were excluded from the camp grounds. Why this was done, we have not yet been able to ascertain. A three•years recruit, it is certain, is of more benefit to the country then a drafted man for nine months, and as many of the former as possible should be obtained. Po bindrence whatever should be thrown in the way that might tend to prevent the drafted men from attaching themselves to• en old organization. As the matter now stands, there is a conflict goingon between the officers of the militia mai the old regiments. The sooner this to semsdied the better. PBXBRWIATION OF A SUIT OP COLORS TO THZ 23D RZOIHENT P. V.—& magnificent and oomplete =it of 'co4ore has inet been presented to the 23d Regiment P. V. by the lady friend. of that organbation, through fta gallant osionel i Thomas IL Neill. The colors were made to order by Messrs.

V ," togethen . with a full set of rioh milk guide flags and markers. On. the staff of the national ensign is a beautiful silver plate,. which is also appropriately inscribed. The committee of ladies having the matter in charge have already, through their appointed representative, Hrs. Dr. John Neill, of this city, presented the flag to the Oolonel, who will in turn present it to his regiment, now in service in the Grand Army of the Potomac.

BOLD ROBBERY.- - A surgeon in the regular service was robbed at Wilmiegton last evening of three hundred and seventy dollars in treasury notes, and an overcoat worth forty-five dollars. lie was on his way from Baltimore to this city, and upon his arrival at Wilmington, stepped from the oar for , a few minutes to procure refreshmente, leaving hie coat, containing the money, Is in gon one of the seats. As he wasreturning to the car he noticed a man wearing a black slouch hat and a military overcoat, walking rapley, away, but being un aware of his loss, paid no farther attention to him. Upon regaining his teat and discovering the robbery, he turned quickly to see if the man was still in sight, but he was nowhere visible, nor could any one give him any infor mation of his whereabouts. As BM as he reached this city he repaired to the Central atstion and made the above statement, and placed the matter in the hands of one of the detectives, who hopes soon to be able to ar rest the thief and recover the stolen property. • THE COOPER SHOP REFRESHMENT SALOON.---We are requested by the committee to ao knowledie the following donations for the week ending eight o'clock Wedneeday evening : Samuel C.

IMPORTANT TO DRA.FTRES,,-001013.01 Buff, United States mustering officer or this poet, bat received inetructione to muster into the service of the United States as volunteers for the war, any drafted mi litiaman who may present himself for that purpose. This order will tranefer to the draftee any benefits to be de rived from the various bounty funds and relief associa tions. This shows clearly that the design of the Govern ment in drafting men was merely to insure the filling of all Quotas fairly and fully in the various Statee, and as this will always prevent a thorough organization of the drafted men, it is reasonable to suppose that they will be held to service only for emergencies, and as troops for oc cupation of important points. EIGHTY-EIGHTH 1 3 - Ser geaLt John Nnskey has been detailed for reoruiting ser vice, for the abeve gallant regiment, in this city by Col. 'McLean.
