AND DELAWARE.
'atonal Union lass Meeting in. Camden, N, J,
Speeches by General George M. Robeson,
Ex-Cov.Pollock, and Col. Fitzgerald,
of Philadelphia.
An immense concourse of the patriotic people of
Camden assembled at the county court house, on
Saturday night last, to participate in the last tally
for the Union of the preseit campaign. The meet;
ing was presided over by Genvral George M.-Robe
son, of Camden . , who made a well-timed and elo
quent speech, which was received with unbounded'
applause.
General Robeson, in the course of his remarks,
stated that his political creed was without reference
to the-individuals before the country,'but WAS em
bodied in the simple resolutions which he saw
latvly
Resolved, let. The rebellion is unconstitutional.
ed. It is constitutional to put it down. '
3d. Our candidates go to put down the rebellion.
4th. :We go for our candidates.
It was a simple creed, but it strikes the perception
of every man. Alluding to the candidates presented
to them, the speaker said it was proper that he
should speak of them. The candidate for the As
sembly, Dlr. Brink, they knew. He has always
been identited with the industrial interests of liatn•
den. No man bad done more for the interests of the
workingmen of this city. In addition to this, - the
nomination was entirely unsolicited.
Your candidate for the Senatorial position is well
known to you. [Applause.] I refer to the Hon.
James DT. Scovel. Young, ardent, and enthusiastic,
he has been-placed boldly in the front of this strag
gle, and has received upon his own breast the blows
that have been struck at his country. is the
'particular mark at which your assailants are aim
ing. Be is a mark set up for abuse and-vitupera
tion. In his triumph, your principles triumph; in
his defeat, your principles are stricken to the dust
before an insolent toe. He deserves, and will . re.
CEiVe at your hands, your ardent and unanimous'
support, and a triumphant election.
At the conclusion of. General .Robeson'e address,
Ex-Governor Pollock spoke as follows:
Pennsylvania to New jersey to-night Bends greet
ing, and I come with the flush of triumph upon my
brow, with the light of victory in• my eye. :[ap
plause.]: I see you anticipate my advice, and I hope
yon are about to adopt it. On Tuesday next go thou
and do likewise. [applause.]
lam a Democrat, and always have been. But
them is nothing iu Democracy that causes a man
either to betz ay or desert his country. The tirst
principle of Democracy is to stand by your Govern
ment and your country right or wrong. [Applause.]
We are at war. Well do I remember standing here
three years ago with William L. Dayton, who advo,
cared with me the election of that honored man
Abraham Lincoln. [Great applause.] We told you
he would be elected, for it was a way he had, and
could not help it, end was elected, and unless I mis
take the public sentiment, he will be President for
the rext four years. [Continued applause,]
Let me say to you that this rebellion is against
the Democratic principle. It is a war against
Democracy. ft is war against every white man,
It is a war against freedom and human rights.
There is nova slaveholder that makes his slave
dance to the crack of his whip, who does not abhor
every form of Democracy. To-day the South stand
tip and in communion with everything throughout
the world that hates freedom, are in alliance to
crush and overthrow it.-
We are now trying the contest in New Jersey.
New Jersey, land of historic recollection ! Where
shall New Jersey stand when the record is made?
By all the memories of the past; Trenton and her
bloodstaiited sands; Princeton and her classic
mories and Revolutionary history ; Monmouth, con
nected by glorious associations Jerseymen, be up !
Remember the past ; remember your ancestors; re•
member the traditions that now float around you
and are sacred among you! Stand by your flag!
Stand by New Jersey, honored in the Revolution!
Stand by your country, that calls you now ! And
when the verdict shall be rendered on - Tuesday
night. let ithe for the extermination of treason, for
the old flag. Then rally around the flag, boys; rally
round the flag-! [Applause]
One word more. You have before you for Senator
a noble man. [Great applause.) Honor to James
M. Scovel. He has stood fast by his country. A
Democrat once, a Democrat still, he has been able to
rise above the mere selfishness of partisanship. He
knows hoW to distinguish between the patriot and
the partisan. He is worthy to receive-your gut
lieges. His conduct in the past, when base men,
cowards. would have betrayed your State, his voice
- was heat He battled - for New Jersey; he battled
for his country. Let not New Jersey lose hire ser
vices. Let him know that, you appreciate true pa
triotism and virtue. If you have any prejudices,
sacrifice all for your country. Vote like men vindi
cating your manhood, vindicating your country.
With ifir. Brink I have some acquaintance. I honor
him, and you will sustain him, and . honor your
selves and your State. I know himtO be a modest,
unassuming man—no office-seeker. True to his
country, and true to your, let hinv take his place
the Legislature of your State, and my word for it,
neither the country nor you will regret his nomina
tion.
Gentlemen. if I had a thousand votes I would give
them to Mr. Lowe. On the morning of the election,
if you can vote against Mr. Lowe, do it, but you will
repent•the deed.
73e up, young men ; it is an hour that requires every
energy of your mind. Young men, come to the
rescue ! Your country is staggering under the bloWs
of the assassin. From that country comes up the
cry, where are my children and my sons 1 Give all,
give everything, so that America and lier liberties
may not perish. [Gov. Pollock retired amid loud
applause ri -
Colonel Fitzgerald. the well-known War Demo.
crat, then made a masterly defence of the Government
against the attacks of the false and wicked leaders,
at the Democratic party. He praised the President
for his wise, temperate, consistent, patriotic COMM,
and be paid a glowing compliment to 'Messrs. Stan
ton, Welles, and Chase, the mention of whose names
elicited the heartiest cheerg. The vindication of
Mr. Weller' administration of the Navy Department
was earneat and able. He reviewed the objections
to the suspension of the habeas corpus, the emanci
pation act, the national tax, the conscription, Sr.c.
in conclusion, lie moat heartily endorsed the nomi
nation of Mr. Shovel, whom he had known for
years es an educated and accomplished gentleman,
whose course in the legislative ball and on the bat
tle-field met the approval of every patriot. Colonel
Fitzgerald having closed amid loud cheers for the War
Democracy and the Union, the meeting adjourned,
The braes band, headed by a transparency nearing
the device "James M. Scovel, the Patriot, net the
Partisan," followed by an imposing torch-light pro.
cession from the South—the banner ward— and the
people en maws, then proceeded to the residences of
IVlessis. Brink and Seovel, and serenaded the can- .
didates. After parading the principal streets, the
procession disbanded at Squire Braker's office, in
Washington Hall, amid cheers for everything and
every body patriotic.

On Saturday afternoon there was a flue gathering
of Union men of , all parties at Brandywine hundred,
Newcastle county, Delaware. A full band was in
attendance, which distoursed most pleasing music,
Ole hundreds of beautiful women graced the
seeire'.with their preeence. Unprecedented enthu
siasm marked the occasion. Speeches were made
by :Colonel Fitzgerald and William Penn Dennis,
Fee , and it is but just to say that the audience was
moat favorably disappointed in both speakers.
Dlr. Dennis spoke for nn hour and a half, and kept
his auditors completely under his control. air.
Charles Brown (one hundred and ninety!) was han
dled very gingerly, but his true character was laid
bare. Immoderate laughter greeted some of the
sallies at his expense. Smithers, the Union
candidate, was eulogized in becoming terms, and
every mention of his name, was greeted with enthu
siastic cheering: This meeting, adjourned to meet at
the same place on Saturday next, November 7th, on
which occasion Colonel Fitzgerald will be the only
speaker. He will be, honored by an immense audi

To the Edges of The Pass:
SIR: The subjoined article is taken from the
French correspondence of the London Times, pub
lished on the lOth September last :
The Phan de la Loire contains the following ac-
Count of two ships of war which are being construc
ted at a private dockyard at Nantes
"Nantes possesses its maritime mysteries. There
are at present two steamers in process of construc
tion in our dockyard, the appearance of which ex
cites the greater curiosity among admirers of re
markable ships, since their owners and their desti
nation are completely unknown. The least flyboat
cannot be built secretly, even to figure at our re
gattas, inasmuch as all'our dockyards are accessible
to every visitor, and consequently it to still more dial- •
cult to construct larger vessels without observation..
The practised eye of a seaman will easily discover
that these ships are not built for ordinary- naviga
tion. 'Everybody asks for what purpose they are
intended, and as nobody can solve this question
there remains a wide field for conjecture. The fact
is, these two clipper's appear to be intended to fly
through the water. -Their lines are beautifully fine;
they are almost fiat, narrow, with a stern as sharp
as a razor. Their length is 240 feet ; they are to be
Jilted with engines of- 400 horse power, and _are
pierced for 22 guns. The shipwright has guaranteed
that their speed shall not, be less than 14 knots an
hour. The plan was given to the shipbuilder, and
he contracted to execute it. The - hull is of timber,
but there is a considerable portion of iron used in
their fittings, by which their solidity is to be greatly
increased. *hat still more excites the imagination
of our seamen is that they are to be delivered to the
owners at sea, at a distance it is said of twenty miles
from Belle Ile, There are two similar clippers
on the stocks' in the yard of M. Armen,
the celebrated shipbuilder -of Bordeaux. The
order was, given to him by a merchant of
our town on account of a foreign correspondent,
but- nobody knows his name, and the shipwrights
themselves, it appears, scarcely know more than
others. As these vessels are not what we term
porfettre—that is, ships the speed of which is
saori
fired to their capacity for carrying cargoes—it is not
to be supposed.that they are ,intended for the. mer
chant service, as they lose a third of their tonnage
by the fineness of their lines. According to one re
port, they belong to a company, who intend them
for rapid service in the Chinese seas. It was even
said that they are being built for the Company of
the Meeaageries Imperialea, butlthose who said ao
forget that the company have their own dock-yard
at La Seyne, near Toulon. According to othera
(and the number of their portholes renders the sup.
position probable), they are being built with a view to
warlike eventualities. But the version most cre
dited is that they may possibly, when completed, take
'their place among the Confederate fleet, of which
the Sumpter was the pioneer: AS We have formed
no opinion on the matter, we confine ourselves to the
announcement of the fact." - -
It would seem that French Ideas of "neutrality"
are something like those recently held by our
precious friends the British.
The argument in the British paperiabout insuffi
ciency of their law to stop such pirates is hypocritical
and false. The 150th article of their " angoras con
solidation act," 10 and 11 Victoria, 1863, gave the
Privy Council power to stop ships, and allsorts of
articles of war by proclamation. This teas done
prior to the Russian war. They prohibited the ex
port or departure of steamships, etc., without royal
license. This could not injure any honest person: •

(Frain the N. Y. Dieulug Post.]
Some of our newspapers are yet discussing the
removal of General Rosecrans. It is an unprofit
able discussion, and I would not allude to the sub
ject if I had not a few facts to Oar upon it, The
President disclaims any' connection with tho state
ments against General Rosecrane' character as a
man or a soldier. Ie was satisfied with his'conduct
at Chickamauga. General Rosecrans was removed,
as he himself has said in a public, speech, "because
of a military necessity." General Grant was the
only man who could command the consolidated ar
mies,-and for a year the personal relations of Gen.
Grant and Gen. Rosecrans have not been pleasant.
Rortecrans could not well serve under Grant—he did
not like to do so, for their relations could not be
amicable: This fact is well known by, military men
in the Southwest—the Government knew it, and -it
therefore relieved General Honoraria teinporafily
from command. B.

THE SAGACITY OF GENERAL THOMAS
[Prom the Milwaukee Wisconsin, Oct 27.
There can be no question that General Thomas
saved the. Army of the Cumber/and in the critical
battle of Chickamauga. The Georgia, papers say
that the plan of the battle was determined noon by
General Bragg after consultation. with General
Lee: The plan was literally to destroy our army.
It was, to cross the Chickamauga creek on our left
flank, where Thomas' corps was placed, and then
foice him back upon Crittenden anti McCook. Af
ter Thomas was thus driven, another rebel column
was to cross the creek and strike Thomas again as
he was forced back, thus completing his rout.
Thoixas,, with the sagacity of a great soldier, per
ceived the object of the rebels. Re did not wait to
be assailed, but, with Napoleonic tactics, he con
eluded to Ipe the assailing party, and hence issued
the following important order :

Major General Palmer:
The rebels are reported in quite a heavy farce be

as soon se possible on them is front, while I attack
them in Rank, I think, we can use them up, Re
spectfully, your obedient servant,
GEO..f - J. THOMAS, Msj. Gen. Commanding.
This mder, the Georgia papers say, saved Goneral
Reser:Tans' army. She Soutneria journals came to a
linowledge of this artier from the fact that the adju
tant of General Palmer's staff was taken prisoner,
and this order was found in his pocket. There is no
man In the nation who thinks that Roseoraus could
have been superseded by a better man than General
;Thomas. There is an earnest heartiness -in this
note, in speaking of the enemy 'as "rebeli." " I
think we can use them up," ate words 'the patriot
likes to hear. As an illustration of Gen. Thomas'
sagacity, a general,officer now in this city says that
if Thomas could have had 10,000 fresh men on Sun
day afternoon he would have ._,tttterly .routed the
rebel army. This officer says that General Thomas
eir oily saw the prize °Victory within his grasp ;
but, alter the brigades of the reserved oorps had
been Marled against the rebels, Thomas had. not
another thousand fresh soldiers whom he could uae.
He saved the army, but he would not have been
content with that. He wanted and would have had
such a victory as would have carried dismay
throushout the South. This Held oilier says that,
there were other generals besides Thomas Who saw
what a prize wan lost for the ivant - of 10,000 men.
GENERALS GRANT AND TROII-AS
[From the Richmond Examiaer. Oct. 2.6.]
It mil intend our readers to know who are the
generals to whole the Yankee. Government have
entruated the most powerful military fore upon
which they relyfor the subjugation of the South. We
may safely say that the Southern armies that' have
brought itosecrans to grief have little tolaar from
his nuearst ors.
General Grant is a- man of ordinary intellectual
ability, with some talent for mathematiss, and is
considered as a good conductor of a .siege when the
place invested Is to betoken-by, time artd.regular k
, approaches. It, renanuitt to be seen what is his 0,91 ,
pacify for - defending', hinriseltagainatisexsiegri}-as-hok
will have to op at Chattanooga. -
George Thomas, who is put in_command of Rose
crana' army proper, is a Virginian, and comes from
the neighborhood of -Lynchburg. He is a fat, beefy
man of forty, and in the old rainy was considered as
little better than a numskull. In Texas, before the
war, he was lieutenant colonel iq the - regiment of
which General Lee was colonel. and Van Dorn
major. General Treigge, who commanded the de
partment, thought so little of him, that; having oc
casion to divide the regiment to meet thh exigencies-
of the service, he gave Van Dorn the command of
four companies, to the exclusion of Thomas. .
The most remarkable thing about this man is that,
after being the most rabid and loud mouthed Secessionist
before the war—so much so that lry his great zeal he actu
ally made some officers who are now in the Southern army
feel ashamed of theniselves-gle should have taken up
arms for the preservation of the Union. His con
duct can only be explained by the feat that he mar
ried a Yankee woman, old enough for his mother,
and whose money has great influence over him.
WHAT. THE REUELS SAS OP GENERAL GRANT.
[Pima the Richmond Whig, Oct. 27.]
Boeecrans has been relieved from the command of
the Aimy of the Cumberland, and Major General
Ulysses S. Grant takes command of that department
and of the Army of the Tennessee (Grant's old army),
the Army of the Cumberland (Bosecrans' late army),
and the Army of Kentucky (Burnside's.) Thomas,
the renegade Virginian, and once ultra Secessionist,
takes the immediate command vacated by Rosecrans.
So much we learn from?' New York paper, which, on
the strength of the announcement, bursts into the fol.
lowing hyperbole : "It now remains to the great and
unconquerable hero of the Mississippi valley—who
hag defeated more armies, reduced more strongholds
and conquered more territory than all our (Yankee)
other generals put together, or than any general
since the days Of Napoleon the First—it remains for
Major General Grant to overcome the rebels now
entrenched among the mountains of the' West, as he
has already routed them through the length . and
breadth of the great river of the West."
These are sounding sentences and not deficient in
capital letters. Let us look a little into the history
of the new Ulysses. &regimental quartermaster in
the old army, he was famous only for his love of
strong drink, His -first appearance in the present'
war was at Belmont, where, in conjunction with
McClernand, he surprised a Confederate camp, and
would have gained a victory if reinforcements had
not arrived and whipped him back to his boats.
With the exception of McClellan's little successes
in Western Virginia, this was the drat affair in
which the Yankees had not been disgracefully
beaten and routed. Grant was therefore promoted
and placed in command of 30,000 or 100,000 men
gathered in front of. Sydney Johnston, at Bowling
Green. The winter floods enabled the enemy to
carry the inadequate defences near the mouths
of the Cumberland and Tennessee rivers, to
land men at pleasure before Fort Donelaon and
to attack it simultaneously by land and wale.
The garrison at this place was very small in eons
parison with the Investing force, and the lines of
fortification in many place's weak. A heroic de
fence was made. For three days the enemy was re
pulsed with fearful slaughter,-.his losses in dead
alone being nearly as testae as our whole garrison,'.
The place was not carried by assault,, but capieuta.'
ted. Very many of the men remonstrated against
the surrender, and few now doubt that, by proper
management, the whole of theirs . could have scut,
their way but without serious resistance. In these'
two, fights—at Belmont and Da-nelson—the great
Ulysses was in one instance defeated positively, and
in the next gained a victory of which only a Yankee.
would or could boast. The acquisition of territory
was large, am true ; but this was - due less to Grant's
generalship-than to the imbecility of the Confede. •
rate author Kies.
. . .
Grant's next appearance was at Shiloh. In the
first day's fight he was surprised and shamefully,
beaten.; on the secondliay, Buell, who was - Gran t'o
superior, and had iirrived with , heavy reinforce
inents, took command, and to him is dueu s the ereilit, I
such as it is, orattsiaking - a: diiorganized
the size of his ofvn, and-of failing signally to Make
it do more.than relinquish at leisure a part of the'.
enormous spoils whits it had won the day before. •
Here there was no victory to any one on the Yankee
side, and certainly none to Grant. -
After Sherman's failure at Vicksburg, Grant su
persedes him. With unlimited men and means at •
his command, he attempts no assault, but waits pa-=
tiently till the naval °Macro have succeeded in run
ning both gunboats and transports past the Confede
rate batteries. Marching his men rapidly down the
west bank of the river ' he ferries them over, and
precipitates them upon Grand - Gulf--Astrong posi
tion, which, like Donelson; was incompletely forti
fled and feebly garrisoned. Grant's itiobase'..at this
point was due more to the gunboats U*1.003 his own
skill. Anil now occurred the only movenialit Which
entitles him to praise and evinces generislehip: With
a celerity unexampled in the hi,tory of Yankee war
fare, he pushed forward his huge columns, upset
Pemberton without the least difficulty, invested
Vicksburg, established his communications with the
river both above and below the city,protected his
rear from Johnston by fonurtlable works, and, after
a number of ummooessful 'attempts to storm the
place, sat down leisurely to reduce it by siege, which
be at length dill, without serious molestation either
in front or rear.
Here again, as at Donelson, he was indebted more
to the Confederate Government thanto his, own
genius fur his success.. He showed energy by the
rapidity of his movements, and. displayed skill in
interposing his army between Pemberton and John.
mon ; but if either his courage or his skill had been
extraordinary be would have crushed his incompe
tent antagonist in Viensbuig as easily almost as he
bad done at Baker's creek—a battle over which the
Yankees made a great deal of noise, but in reality
none at all ; for we remember that one of the ablest
Confederate officers engaged in it laughed at the idea
cf. dignifying it with the name of ; battle. It was
not Grant's generalship so much aehla opponent's
utter inexperience in field lighting which enabled
him to early everything before him at Champion'e
Hill like a whirlwind. - -
- . -
Such is the man to whom the mighty interests in
volved at Chattanooga are entrusted. He was
whipped at Belmont, whipped at Shiloh, and whip
pee in repeated assaults at Doneloon and Vicksburg.
He has not proved. himself a great generatrbut:he
br.s proved Ins ability to take advantage % of
,Confe
del ate folly and want...of-preparation. When ade
quate means are at his disposal he has shown that
he'linows bow to ÜBC ' them when occasion offers.
He is quick, ana that is more then can be .said of
very many Confederate generals. He has now three
large armies concentrated under-him, embracing, in
the aggregate,',probably twice as many men as ha

been weeded of incompetent officers to a great ex

THE WAR IN VIRGINI4,
A Detailed Sketch of the Recent Campaign.
.From the Richmond Exaniiner, Oct. 26
No connected aooount has yet been published of
the movements of our army during the recent cam.
paign in Northern Virginia. From the information
in our reach we make up a hasty and imperfect nar
rative.
It would appear to have been General Lee's: plan
to send A. P. Hill's corps by a route west of the
Orange and Alexandria Railroad to Manaissaa.Turic
ton, there to cut of Meade's retreat, whilst Ewell's
corps followed on the right flank of the retreating
enemy, and would be ,ready to fall upon his rear
when he Should be brought to a stand. In further
ance of this plan, Hill left Madison county on or
about the Bth inst., and moved toward Sperryville.
On the same day Ewell crossed the Rapidan at Rac•
coon Ford. At this place occurred the firat cavalry
fight, in which we drove the enemy back,but not
without sustaining considerable loss. Here New.
ton, and other gallant officers, fell.
Meade having apparently seen through the designs
of General Lee, began his retreat simultaneously
with our advance, and, flaying • the benefit of the
railroad; and moving on a direct line, it is no matter
Of Surprise that he managed to frustrate them.
On Sunday Hampton'a cavalry, under the imnie
difite command of Stuart, moving in advance of
Ewell's corps, reached Culpeper Court House, and,
moving along the railroad, encountered the- enemy
at Brandy Station. The battle took, place on the
farin of John Minor Botts,one of the charges of our
cavalry being made througi bia front yard. We may
here remark that the property on the farm -of this
extraordinary individual, of whom the Government
01 the' Confederate States stand in such fear, had
been religiously respected by the Yankees ; whereas,
the country around was little better than a wilder
ness, his iencea and crops were untouched. But.
that Sunday night wrought a change in its condition.
Three` thousand Confederate cavalry bivouacked
there after the battle, and fed their horses in his
cornfield. The next morning there were very fetid
fence rails,and very little corn left. The men could
be. heard to, say, while building high their tires,
"Pile on, boys, they are nothing but d—fl old Union
rails!" Botts came down Monday morning and
said he would like to get a certificate of the quantity
of corn used and rails burnt. Re was dismissed very
cavalierly, and told that we had no time to attend to
such matters.
I'donday our cavalry came up with the enemy at
Jerre' son, on the road from Culpeper Court House
to Warrenton. There an obstinate tight took place,
which resulted in the enemy being driven across
Fledgeman , s river to Warrenton Springs, from
which 'place the enemy,were also driven, after a bat
tle. In each of these battles we took several hun
dred priuoners. - . Ewell's corps having changed its
line of march; reached=-Warrenton on Tuesday
morning. Dleadete army was - at this time among
the Rappahannock s 'and believed to have halted at
7- Werrenton,7unction, and between that point and
Catlett Station. Two thousand- cavalry were sent
down from Warrenton to reconnoitre in the direc
tion of Catlett. On arriving near the latter place,
Tuesday evening, they found the enemy were
moving heavy, columns of infantry along the rail.
road towards Manassas ; and they thereupon imme
diately turned to retrace their steph toward' War
-renton, but on reaching a road which crossed their
~ 'route, leading from Warrenton Junction to Manas
as,they found that the enemy were also moving in
fant,ry in large masses along this road. They were
thus completely hemmed io. Night came on as they
reached this road. The heavy tramp of the enemy's
infantty and the rumble of their artillery sounded
right in front of them.
General Stuart withdrew his little force into a
thicket of ohl held pines, hoping that the enemy
would pass him by unnoticed, and leave his road to
Warrenton clear. The enemy were moving so near
our position that every word of command and even
ordinary conversation could be distinctly heard by
us. Our situation was extremely critical; any ac•
cident—the accidental discharge of a pistol—would
have disclosed our position, and then, in view of
the overwhelming force of the enemy, nothing
awaited us but destruction or surrender. Stuart
gave his officers tied men to understand that surren
der was not to be thought of, but that the - enemy.
was to be fought to the last. A council of war hav
ing been called, it was resolved, as the beat thing
that could be done under the circumstances, to de
rert the nine pieces of horse artillery, and for the
cavalry in six columns to endeavor to cut their way
through the enemy.
Afttrgonie reflection Stuart resolved not to aban
don his artillery, and struck upon a device for in
forming-Gen. Lee, who was at Warrenton, of his
situation. He called for three volunteers to under
take a - desperate enterprise, Crockett Eddins, of
this city, and two other young men immediately
stepped forth to undertake anything that their Gene
ral might order. Stuart ordered them to put on in
Santry knapsacks, and, shouldering muskets, to ad
vance in the darkness to the road, fall into the ene
my's column, and, crossing it, to make their way to
Warrenton, and say -to Gem -Lee that he Was our.
rounded, and he " must send some of his people to
help him out." Eddins and his two gallant com
rades obeyed• orders, and reached - Warrenton in
safety.
The last division of the enemy baited and bivouacked
opposite Stuart, and within one hundred and fifty yards
of his position—so close that we could hear the Yankees
pouring out xats to feed their horses. During the night
two of Iffeade's staff straggled into bur lines - and
were taken prisoners. One of- them, a gay young
fellow, said to Stuart, "All right, General, we sup
With you to-night, you dine with us to-morrow," in
timating that Stuart Would, by that time, be "a pri
soner. .
At daylight Wednesday morning Stuart was in
formed by the cracking of our skirmishers' muskets
that Lee had received his message, and was sending
"some of the people" to help him. -As -Lee's ad
vancing columns attracted the enemy's attention,
Stuart, from the rear, opened on them with grape
and canister. The enemy were much disordered by
the cannonade from so unexpected a quarter, and,
-talelpg-atlvantiageicif - tke confusion, Stuart limbered
iip his guts, and, with cavalry and artilleiy,.dashed
thrgugh the hostile ranks and rejoined General Lee.
The:enemy suffered a loss of one hundred and eighty
killed in this affair.
That evening Hill's corps reached Bristow Sta
tion, just after Illeade's army passed that point.
What appeared to be a small portion of the enemy
watcdiscovered behind a long embankment of the
railroad, and two brigedes of Roth's corps were or
dered to dislodge them. Then followed the battle of
"Briatow, which has already been mentioned in these
columns. What appeared to be a trifling force of •
the enemy turned out to be two full army corps, ly
ing in ambush to gobble up any in conaiderable lari
gades that might ,attempt-to dislodge them. An
hour's experiment convinced our men that a formi
dable force was in their front, and they withdrew.
We bad three or four hundred killed and wounded
in the fight. The enemy admit a severe loss, but
they left but few dead upon the field. Before the
main body of our army could get up the battle was
ever. That night our men were drawn up in line of
battle, but when the day broke on Thursday morn
ing-the enemy was gone. Our forces followed their
as far as Manassas Junction, and, resting here a
day, began a retrograde movement towards the Rep
pahennock. Our cavalry on Thursday crossed Bull
creek : rear the foot of Bull Run mountain, and
made a reconnoissance as far as Centreville, where
they_were driven back by the enemy's infantry. -
Thus ended this famous retreat and pursuit. Our
army returned to the Rappahannock, fleecing lost in'
the campaign about one thousand men killed,
wounded, and prisoners, and having taken near two
. thousand prieonere. Of the enemy's loss in killed
and wounded we have no means of making an esti
mate. During the pureuit our troops never made
• over twelve miles a day. The results of the cam
paign are important. We took a large number of
prisoners anti horses, ascertained Meade's army to
consist of not more than fifty thousand infantry,
deatroyed the railroad from IVlanasaas to Rappahan
nock Station, and removed Meade's headquarters
from the Rapidan to the Rappahannock.
During the campaign our cavalry did splendid ser
vice. They performed all the successful fighting and
took nine-tenths of the prisoners.
As belonging rather to the period of our retreat
than of Meade's, we have made no mention of the
cavalry victory gained by Stuart over Kilpatrick on
the 19th instant.

A GENERAL ADVANCE OF ALL THE YAWL:EBB
TB REATH-NED
CFrom the Richmond DiApatcb, Oct. 27.
The decapitation of Rosecrans augurs well for the
Confederate cause. Re was the best general they
had, althoUgh he might have been that, and'atill no.
Qatar. It- proves, plainly enough, that, in spite of
his mendacious proclamation, fie was very- badly
beaten at Chickamauga, and thatjhis employersknow
it. But the hest part of the operation, so-far as we
are enueerned, is, that it implies an immediate _ ad.
venue upon the lined of General Bragst, - whish we
mutt ardently hope for. We are afraid, notwith
stem:lug the bravado of the Yankee papers, that
their hearts will fail them when the hour arrives,
although the late victory of Colonel Stevenson, and
the near prospect of famine consequent upon it,'are
very well calculated to hasten their movement.
The renegade Thomas, and not Grant, it seems, is
to conduct operations at Chattanooga. The noble
old county of Southampton, for its sins, was doomed .
to be the birthplace of this miscreant. The Yan
kees era so deficient in good material rfor officers
that they really pick up our renegades to fashion
them out of. We have no fears of Thomas.
Arnold never did anything after he had sold him,
sell to the Blitiab, nor is there any cause to believe
that Thomas will he more successful. We holdhim
to be worse than Arnold. Arnold was a Yankee, to
whom it was perfectly natural to sell himself for
gold. Dr. Johnson, we believe it was. who said the
devil was the first rebel. He might have added that
:ludas Isuariot was the first Yankee. But there is
something horribly unnatural in a Virginia, born
man turning against his country for gold.
At the same time that Thomas advances against
Brom, we are fold by ,the Yankee papers there is
to he a general advance everywhere. - Grant, or
somebody else, Is to advance against Johnston, and
Meade is to anvance against Lee. Never, accord
ing to their veracious organs, was the prospect of
crushing the rebellion so bright. We are to be
pressed up into a small space„ and annihilated be.
fore the mud comes on—that is, before the first of
December. We should probably feel some degree of
alarm tet theee terrible threats, had we not heard
them two months ago, just before Rosecrans ad.
van cod upon Atlanta and stopped at Chattanooga,
and Meade advanced upon Richmond to fall back on
Washington. Indeed, we do not think the trumpets
are sounded quite so fiercely now as they were on
that occasion, and seeing that such is the fact, we
takeleart of grace, and comfort ourselves with the
musty old proverb that "threatened. men live long. , '
It would not surprise us at all to hear that we had
given the Yankees a thrashing alt around before the
first el December. Before the advanceof Rosecrans
we were assured by the Yankee newispapers that
the rebellion would he crushed by that time. Yet
the prospect seems as distant as ever.
TEE TWO ARMIES-THEIR MODE OF 'FIGHTING
A Tennessee army correspondent makes the fol
lowing observation on comparing the armies of Ten."
neesee and Virginia:
The old veterans express surprise that the far
famed army of Bragg fails to come up to the repu
tation for drill and discipline which common rumor
has ascribed to it, and claim that the organization of
Lee's army is every way stipules. The veterans of
Biagg, on the other hand; say that they have been
better fed and worse dressed than any other troops
in the Confederacy, and claim nothing for themselves
but hard knocks, severe regulations, and old clothes.
In the latter qunlification they are unquestionably
ahead of anybody of men in this country.
The difference in the style of fighting between the
two armies is also distinct. The NVestern army, with
few exceptions, seldom charge continuously. The
Virginia army rarely do otherwise. The one are
content to stand up and exchange shots at long.
range; the other close up and dash forward. On
the one hand, experience has shown that the enemy
stand fire as well as oureelves ; on the other, that
Yankee pluck always fails on the advance of cold
steel.
Affairs In Texas.
NIEW ORLEANS, Oct. 2n—l had a lengthy convex ,
- nation to-dny Wheeler; of the trin of Dircy
Sr. Wheeler, of this city, who has just returned from
Plfa.amoros, having left that city on the 3d instant.
From this gentleman I received the following news
from Texas : The impression was general through
out the Statethat an invasion by the Unfonists was
not far off. Major General Magruder, commanding
the district of. Texas, appeals to the planters to fur
nish an additional quota of negroes to erect thene
emery fortifications to prevent thelinion troops
from successfully invading the State. To meet t:Ms
emergency he requests the services of one.half of
the male negroes between the ages of sixteen and
ftly. These American citizen: of African descent
are to rendezvous at Houston, to report to Brigadier
General Bee, commanding the rebel forces at that
point.
The entire cavalry force of the State—consisting
of the sn, Bth, Bth, tOth, 12th, rith, 18th,
letb, 20th. 26th, 27th, and 28th battalions of cavalry
—are ordered to report forthwith to Brig. Gen. Gans,
at Millicen. The latter place is on the Bosque
river, in Grimes county, tiny - miles a little west of
north from Houston. In the latter city, large num
bers of State troops were being massed. Camps of
instruction have been established at Brownsville,
Martin, Concrete, Brennao, Clarksville, Shelbyville,
Pans, ..dileytown. Matagorda, Corpus Christi, Aus
tin, and San Antbnio.
General Magruder, on the 3:1 of September, issued
an important order giving the dispozitions of Ilia
troops.
Mr. Vall-andigham's Venom
In a private letter written the other day, Vallan
disham said:
"I observe that Mr. Obese is making- himself
merry over try exile and defeat. Well, that is all
right, too. But I remember when, a few years ago,
the name of Salmon P. Chase was the synonym of
everything odious and bite; and when he was one
of the leaders of a - party not numbering in the
whole United States one• tenth part as many as the
votes which I received in Ohio at the late election,
and poor and humble enough to be content with the
crumbs which fell from the colored people's table at
the Baker-street chapel. My friend,: Mr. James
Brooks, remembers, also, when he rescued Mr.
Chate from the violence of a mob in Dayton, and
led him, all trembling, by the arm; to a place of
safely. Now Salmon P. Chase is high In wealth
earl position, clothed in purple and tine linen, and
faring aumptuously every day, while lam "the sub
ject of his scoff's as an exile. But I shall live to see
the time when Mr. Chase will be rent in pieces by
the whirlwind which he has contributed so much
to raise, and made the victim of the very mob before
which he triumphs and exults, as did Beltashazzar
at his feast."
Be omits to state that it was about the time Dlr.
Chase was "odious and vile," and leader of the
party represented as so contemptible, that Medary,
Vallandigham, Faran, Pugh, & Co., were, glad to
make him a United States Senator, the first official
position he ever held. It is a curious fast that Pugh
Cot -his first office at the same time. As to the•
Dayton mob, the recent vote of that city indicates a
more healthful state of things there since the leader
of its rowdies sought safety on British soil.—Tolcdo

Unjust Arrest and imprisonment
At a meeting of Pennsylvanioni, held in Washing
ton on the 26111 ult., to consider the circumstances
attending the recent arrest and imprisonment of J.
A. 'Williamson, of the Pennsylvania Relief Associa

ordered to be published in the newspapers of that
city. and Pennsylvania : •

To the Chairman and-Members of the Executive corn.

GILINTLEXIM The committee appointed by your
body to report the facts attendant upon the recent
arrest and imprisonment of Joseph A; Williamson,
Esq., under order of Major Turner, and by Colonel+
Baker, Provost Marshal of: the War Department,
and his subsequent release, represent as follows : --
That Mr. Williamson is, and has been, one of the
most active members of the Pennsylvania Relief
Association, and is &member of Its. Executive Coro-.
mirtee. Dining the past year he has been constant
and faithful in the-discharge of all his duties, and
has rendered most. valuable and important service,
as well in hospital as in the field. About three
weeks ago it become necessary to remove the stores
of, the Association from the Patent Office building
to the rooms now occupied by it, and The question.
arose as to the expediency of selling some surplus
rags, lint, and other , unavailable material which.
could not be conveniently kept in - store.
After consideration it was-determined to sell a‘cer
fain proportion, as is the custom of this and other.
like associailons, of these. goods, of which, three
hundred bushels are yet-left, thereby enabling.the ,
Executive Wornmittee teteep,on hand a small fund
sacred' to ttie purpose of purchasing absolute ne
cessaries fee-thedaily wants of our sick and wounded
soldiers. The order of sale was given by, the chair
man of the above-named committee, and under the
general, direction of Mr. Williamson, the assistant
storekeeper; Mr. Hutchinson, in the presence of,
Dr. llcuston, another. member of the Executive.
CommPtee, opened, weighed, and packed the mate
rial, and transferred it.to Fremeia..9.. Bogart, a regu.-
kir dealer of Philadelphia, who had.made a previous
purcsse of the same character. of goods from. the
'association.
The lot, as reported by Mr. Hutchineon, weighed
1,063 pounde, ler ;which Mr. Bogert paid the awn of.
Vd.4§, which was promptly deposited by William
son in the basking•house of ;Tay Cooke ar. Co. to the
credit of the saaoclatior. The proof of deposit was
at once Pubmitted to the chairman of. the Executive
Committee, thus concluding his responsibility. This
took place October tOth andl:lth.
On the morning of the 23d inst., Mr. Williamson
W3/3 arrested, while a? his (leek in the interior De
pertinent, by a detective of Colonel Baker, and was
taken to the office of the latter, without the remotest
idea that any charge had beenpreferred against him.
After waiting about an hour, Major Levi C. Turner,
judge advocate, and Colonel 13aker, provost marshal
of the War Department, entered the room, and a
short conversation ensued,• which it may not
now be important to detail. The sum of it was that
Mr. Williamson was informed , that he was charged
with selling Government stores and - pocketing the
money, and that he was to be sent to the Old Capt.,
.tol pilson. Mr. Williamson vehemently protested
his innocence. and appealed for an opportunity to
explain the transaction, and send for parties of the
highest respectability who could establish his inno
cence. Colonel Baker replied that he should "see
no one.” Mr. Williamson asked to be allowed to
remain in Colonel Baker's office until he.could send
for Secrettu"Usher, of the Interior Department, or
Mr. Brady, the chairman of the Executive Commit
tee of the Association. ••Colonel Baker denied his
prisoner this ' -privilege, and, telling him that he
could write letters when he reached the Old' Capitol,
and, handing his commitment to an officer, left the

cruelty to a man as innocent as any of his accusers,
and more innocent than some whose presence he was
obliged to tolerate, furnished. Mr. Williamson with
a desk before his removal to the Old Capitol, and
offered to deliver letters to Mr. Usher, or Mr. Brady.

subsequently Messrs. Brady and Eaton, of the Exe ,

called upon Major Turner, at his lame, and were in
a few minutes enabled to make the' explanation the

[Before Idr. Alderman Balder.]
Alleged Einbezzlement.
On Saturday afternoon, a young man named Win.
Hodges was arraigned at the Central Station, by
Detectives Lemon and Bartholomew, on the charge
of embezzling some of the funds of a social organi-
VOlOlO of gentlemen known by the•name, style, and
title of the Philadelphia Club.. Thedefendeent was
formerly clerk of the club, and •in this capacity re
ceived the dues of the rcembera: It is alleged that
he bad received $450 of dues-whish has not been
accounted for on the books. There were eighteen
members of the club present ae.witnesses ' but the
fr
defendant desired to waive aearing. The magis
trate,.bowever, desired to hear one or two, so that_
he might obtain some idea of the nature of the case.
Four witnesses were examined; who testified that
they had paid their dues to defendant, and took his
receipt for the same. On examining the account
book produced at the bearing, there could not be
found any entry acknowledging the receipt of the
money. The defenthent wee bound over in the sum
of $1,9.00 to answer at Cr.,lllA.
Chestneref-111.11 Mil lee.
A. few days since it was suggested in this column
that a police station-house should be located at
Chestnut Bill, and that the force there oueht to be
doubled. Since that time we have received quite a
.number communications reepectine, the subject;
the writers entertilning eifeetent views. 'Under
the present law. the people of Chestnut Hill are
not entitled to a single notice officer, simply because,
they do not pay any police tax Shortly after con
solidation, the aristocracy of Chestnut Hill, who
alone bed anything to lope, made an agreement with
Mayor Faux to pay the expense of a small police
force, to he mounted atihe expense of the aristo
cracy aforesaid, who were to furnish the horses.
Robberies had been frequent there foe` some time,
but after the policmhad been thus temporarily ap
pointed, the thieves made themselves quite scarce.
The aristocracy, however, soon withdrew the pay
ment for horseflesh, and the chances for thieving
tended towards a premium. = The aristocracy began
to feel lalermed, and finally the intrepid Sohn S.
Magee was sent theroby Mayor - Henry to teropora
rily-talle command of the police squad ; the striate.
cracy agreeing to pay thmammint of hie board. This
went cm very well for a time, until they withdrew
this support, and Mr. Magee was withdrawn from
the romantic hills and vales of that section of the city,
and took " a position on the corns of day sergeants.
, The aristocrats of' Chestnut Hill are mostly, the
worst class of Copperheads.
They have splendid' suppers there occasionally
where they plot treason to dupe the ignoran,
masses.. They look upon the police force as com
posed of Union men, and will not contribute to their
support. The mere fa& of accepting the services
of a few men as police officers. at the expense of the
taxpayers- of the city, entitles the. Copperhead
aristocracy of -Chestnut Hill to the congenial name
of paupers, because, in the fleet place, they do not
pay any police tax.;. in the second place, they desire,
to have themselves and their property protected at
the expense of other people. This state of antra
is not generally 'known. It may be attributed to
special legislation of the City Councils exempting'
‘ Chestnut Hill from taxation for police purposes.
We have hadsome talk with common-sense Union.
men who live there. They desire to have a well
regulated system of police for that place—rand they.
Ire willing to pay the tax should the City Councils
deem it- necessary to assess it. The honest, sober
thinking residents wish _to he placed on _an eanal.
looting wren- tnem citisens of the citg gene
rally, and take a share in the payment of taxes for
police protection. The Copperhead atistocraey,
however, so it would seem, would rather have the
title of patinae affixed to their respective'cartmes than
pay their share Of a police tax, provided this.state of
things can be without the great public .knowin.g any
thing about it. There is no justice. in taxing the
property of 'Union people in one part of •the city to
protest Its property cui pauper Copperheads in
another part exempt from similar taxation.

Court of Oyer and Terminer and %snorter
Sesetons—Judge Thompson.
POLO - SIZING AT THE LATE ELECTION—WRIT OF
HABEAS CORPUS QI7ASHED. -
On Saturday morning,. John G-lacken, Hugh Blob
ney, Jeremiah Lane, and John O'Connor werebe.
tore the court on a writ of habeas comma stir
charge of misdemeanor. The allegation is, thatjust
previous to the election,. there defendants - moved
from the Seventeenth were, where their families re
side, to the Second ward, for the purpose of
voting. They were bound over by Alderman Ogle
to arotwer. This writ of habeas corpus was then
sued out, returnable Saturday morning. The
District Attorney moved to quash the writ, as the
defendants had never been in the custody of the
Sheriff. It appears that their counsel, relying on
what has been the custom in habeas corpus cases,
bad taken out the writ without surrendering the
parties to the Sheriff, but-having them in court on
Saturday morning, The Court, after hearing the
motion, granted the motion, and quashed the writ,
Judge Thompson saying that if such proceedinga ae
those above stated' had been the custom, it was a -
vent improper one.
Desertion cases occupied the mat of the cession.
The following important opinion was delivered by
Judge Ludlow on Saturday morning:
MASTER AND APPRENTICE—CONSTRUCTION Os'
arboannes , INDENTURES. •
Commonwealth vs. Paul T. Bowen. Opinion by
Ludlow, T. The apprentice, the defendant in this
case, has been bound with the ascent of his mother,
to the firm of Cox, Whiteman, & Cox, in order" to
learn the trade, art, and mystery of Stove afoul
dine " the firm covenant "at such times es their
foundries shall be in blast," to give him employment,
and to pay him $3.50 per week tor the time he shall
be at work for the that three months, for the fast
eleven months thereafter one half of journeyman's
prices by the piece, for the next fourteen months
fire-eighths journeyman's prices by
_the piece, and
for the balance of his term he - :Nell receive wages at
the late of three-fourths journeyman's prices by the,
piece.
At a glance it will be observed that this instru
ment is a very peculiar one, as - Whiteman & Cox are
not to be responsible "for any acts done or commit
ted by the said apprentice during such times as he is
not at work, nor are they to be under any expense
for medicine or medical attendance, it being fully
uitlermood- that the said- apprentice is under the
guardianship of his mother."
There seems to be in this-indenture no express co
venant for maintenance, nor do the masters agree to
give to the apprentice soy education. If it stands
the test of a legal investigation it will introduce a
new system of apprenticeehip, altogether different
from that heretofore in use. and in many respects, in
our judgment, very objectionable, especially for three
teatime First. There is no covenant in this instru
ment for schooling, and it has been long striae settled
Comm. vs. Perrott, Brightly's Rep., p, 199; that an
indenture which does not contain this covenant
is void ; true, this principle is in a measure
to be qualified, if it shall appear to the -
,court that the apprentice has received suffi
cient education before he was bound to serve.
See 1 Rawle, 191 Com, vs. Leeds. In this - case
,
however, the only evidence produced upon that paint
consisted of an admission by the defendant " that he
had been over a year at: school, and had got so far
that be was studying geography, when he had to
leave to go to work." This court would not be jus
tified in sanctioning the doctrine theta young man
between seventeen and eighteen years of age had re
ceived sufficient education, when the evidence 013/1-
elusively proves that be had been at school butlittle
over a sear, and had just commenced the study of
geography. These maters and their apprentices
will hereafter me the teceesity which inclineathe
court to look with anxious solicitude to the proper
education of - the tieing generation ; for, upon. their
intelligence depends the future prosperity not only
of the young men, but of the Commonwealth and
nation. -
Second. There is another objeclionable feature in
this indenture which has attracted ournotice. There
is no express covenant for maintenance the'ap
prentice is to receive so • much by the Week e and
then by the piece, and the mother who "it is under
stood' shell be his guardian, must take care of -him
if he becomes sick and shall, alsoprovifie him with
medicine.
We do not overlook the affjudged case of Geese
vs Conrocv, 2 Barr, 402, wherein it wee decided
that an apprentice .might reside at home and not ,
with his master, and that a certain sum per week
might be paid in lieu of the common covenants for
lodging, tec.; but. we distintuish this case from that
one iu many particulars; here employment Is to be
given " dune. g such times as - their fonede.ies shall
be in blast," and certain payments shall be made
" for the time he (the apprentice) shall be at work." •
No such features appeared in the indenture before
the court in Greer vs-. Conrow: The apprentice in
this cage., should the furnancego out of bleat and he
at the same time be afflicted with sickness, may
atavre or die.
Realties all this, in Leech vs- Agnew, 7 Barr, 22,
the court declare that "a -tether is entitled to a
child's earnings, and may dispose of them, a mother
being held to no such duty is not .entitled to its
correlative. Neither has a_guardian such a right;
he may assent to his ward's apprenticeship, but may
not hire him out for the guardian , . beeent; • *
Theasepetsea.afea inothet would restrain the donee
from turning his out of doors ; but in the inter
pretation of contracts we have.to deal with legal
obligations. Had she added to .the gift an engage
ment to maittainaiin, as aniequivalent, the contrast,
might have been deemed.a beneficial one, bat as she
did not it is void.” -
Prom what has already been said enough appears,
we think, to justify us in declaring this instrument
void ; but we have another objection ta.this paper,
which is A radical one, and which ought to be stated.
In an indenture at apprenticeship, the master, by
the common law. feel tee, aetes sf Peneeelventa,
takes the place of a parent, and tee eppree afe of a
child. In some of the old books the apprentice is ,
spoken of as a 3p,ecies of relation email while in one
sense be is a servant, as every child must be, yet he
may not be bound as aervant, but must stand in the
relation of a serving child. The obligations which
tbi3 seleconctituted relationehlpeimposed, were mu
tual; the apprentice shall conduct himself-respect
fully toward his master, shallobev his command, be
faithful in his service, and act As any child should.
art toward his pasant ;.and the maater shall not only
teach his apprentice his trade, but shall maintain
and protect him,. ellen watch, over his morals, see to
it that ha is educated, so-that at last, when the term.
shall e.ed, the apprentice may enter the society in
which he livsa as a geed workman, an intelligent
and thoroughly trained man, able not only to sus
tain himself, but also to. benefit,, and not curse,
the eommunity in which he lives.
Measured by these time honored principles, what
shall be said of these articles of frppreaticeship
The meats:ea agree to do nothing bat to pay .Gze ap
p:rentice a. certain sum and to teach him the art and
mystery of a certain trade, although the law de
clares teat the master shall be the guardian of the
apprentice; yet this indenture declares that it is
ue detained that the mother shall be his guardian,
aril thus we suppose he will practically be his own
gusidian. The wages to be paid are to be paid
to Abe apprentice. Now, while the necemitiea of
the present condition of society, especially in. large
cities, may render it necessary for a master to
board his apprentice cut of his own house, a. course
also sanctioned by low, yet it by no moans ab
solves him from his moral and legal obligation to
attend to the welfare of the apprentice and least
of all does it sanction the payment of wages to an
apprentice. If such a covenant is to be sustained,
then the apprentice is to be furnished with the
means by which, at a tender age r and when moat
liable to temptation, he may squander his substance
to ratify his passions and lusts, and thus receive an
e, rication in idleness and vise.:
The old system looked to the mutual benefit of
n aster and apprentice ; the new provides most care
tally for the master and with little or no care for the
apprentice ; the old agreements contained mutual
cove neat ; the new sell the services of the 'manor, and
is, t bet efore, a contract of sale of legal value perhaps
fit one aspect, but of no value as an indenture of ap- '
prenticeabip.
A question arose in this case as to the form in
ii hich it came before the court, and is decided at the
1. quest of all.parties concerned in the cause.
Alter the transcript of the alderman had been-re
tut n ed to the court, a petition was filed by the master,
coetaining a statement of his case, to which, an
en astf r was filed by the apprentice. - We regard Mich
netition and answer as altogether uselesakawala.
. e( L eine apprentice cannot be permitted to come in
s I d defend his act by declaring that hie imrenture of
appre nticeahip is invalid—such a practice leads to
insubordination. If the Apprentice has suffered a
wrong, the acts of Assembly point out the remedy ;
if 'he indenture is void, a writ of, habeas cierpul will
test the question ; and, therefore, we will heat oases
like the present upowtheAranscript (gum *bum
