Tbe New Navy Yard ou tlie Delaware. By iavitation of a committee representing tbe oltizena of Chester, the Naval Committees of the United States Senate and House visited on Satur. ■ day tbe sites on the west bask of the Delaware pro posed for the establishment of the great national navy yard. The Chester committee of reeeptlon also Invited the members of Counolls, the Board of Trade, Corn Exchange, and tbe press, and delega tions from each of these bodies left the oity at B A. M.| and met the committee at Thurlow Station, about fourteen miles from the eity. The morn ing was very foggy, but in the afternoon the sun struggled out of the mist, and the noble Dela ware relied proudly and brightly, those mighty wa ters, broad and deep enough to bear tbe naviea of tbe world. About sixty gentlemen were present. Among them Were Senators Hale, Willey, Ramsay, CoWan, and Hicks; Hon. Messrs. Wm. D. Kelley and Broomall; Hon. S. M. Helton; Messrs. Lynd and Bichd, of Seleot Council: Messrs. Cattell, Tatem, Busby, Wm. B. Thomas, Knesht, J. C, Turner, and other prominent Philadelphians, with many of the leading citizens of Chester. Every arrangement had been made by the Chester committee for the comfort of their guests, and. to. obtain for them a full view of the proposed sites. At Thurlow Mansion breakfast waited the entire party, alter whioh oarrlagea were provided to oon vey them over the' grounds which Chester offers to thfOovernment. This ground -Includes about two hunted fttres, extending along the river for nearly twir miles, and it is said that if it is insufficient the extent will be increased. The Baltimore and Phila delphia Railroad runs along immediately behind the'proposed traot. Driving along the Chester roads, very muddy as tt happened, the foggy day could not hide the beauty ol the country. The land rises gradually from the river and forms long ridges, well supplied with timber and springs, about half a mile from the shore. It must be pleasant to live on these hills, looking out over the river, and from the number of handsomemanslonswe judge their advau. tagea are appreciated. After a ride up the ahore for . half a mile, the visitors left the oatrisges, and, not a little aided by maps, made a closer examination of the obsraster of the shore and the depth of water. This done, the oarrlagea were driven to Marcus Hook, where the steamboat Ariel, chartered by the com mittee of reception, waited to take the Congressional committee and the other invited guests to Deague Island. The Ariel ran along the western shore, affording another view of its merits as a site for a navy yard, and Boon reaohed League Island, but not so soon as to prevent full justice being done to the satisfactory lunch provided by the committee. The brobemdown condition of the wharf made disembarkation difficult, but it was effected, and a careful, but insufficient survey of the Island was made, which occupied the rest ol the day. Chester and Philadelphia had ample opportunity for argu ment, and used it with energy and courtesy. The party were then conveyed by steamboat and car riages to the city, where, in the evening, at the Con tinental Hotel, Chester erowned the pleasures of the day by a splendid banquet, given to her dlstln. gulshed guests; over which Mr. Felton presided. Eloquent addresses were made by Senators Hale, Willey, Cowan, and Ramsay. Measrs. Broomall, Felton, Lyhd, WetheriU, Turner, Joseph O. Miller, and Thomas Fitzgerald, replied to various toasts. Mr. Fitzgerald gave, In conclusion, the “ Chester Committee of Reception,” which was enthusiasti cally received, as It deserved to be, and responded to by Mr. William Ward. To the Cheater committee the Congressional Com mittees and the representatives of Philadelphia are indebted for every possible courtesy and kindness, and every possible facility for viewing and com paring the two sites proposed. The morning was given to Chester; the afternoon to League Island; the evening witnessed the unselfishness of both in terests, and the desire to unite their influences. The great fact established was not the superiority of either rival situation , but the immense natural advantages of the west bank of the Dcluwaie river as a site for a Na tional Nasty Yard. League Island can easily afford to admit evsry value whioh Cheeter claims for itself; the question between them will doubtless be impartially deter mined. But that on the Delaware ia the place for the new navy yard, even the informal examination of Saturday must have satisfied all present. The hearty union on this subject must result in good, not only to Pennsylvania, but to the whole country, for the argument in favorof the establishment of the newnavy yard oh the Delawarecannotrestupon any State claim, but Is justly based upon the Interests of the nation. The representatives from Philadelphia are willing and anxious to unite with Chester in ob taining from Congress a recognition of this fact, and are content to leave the ohoice be tween the two sites entirely to the wisdom of the 'government. Chester la equally unselfish and ear nest, and we are convinced that the difference be tween the advooates of the two sites will not be used to the Injury of the general Bituatlon on the Dela ware. It is only neocssary to bring fully and clearly before Congreia the grand superiority of a location on the Delaware river, near Philadelphia, to have all other claims dismissed. It Will then be a matter. of minor importance, though by no means of little Importance, to decide between League Island and Chester. Trial Trip of tile Jupiter. On Saturday, at noon, between thirty and forty gentlemen, chiefly merchants, assembled at J. K. Hammett’s wharf, Kensington, on invitation from Messrs. Bucknor & James, owners, to assist in the trial trip of the steamer Jupiter. This vessel was built at Greenock, by Dodd & Mao Gregor, well known ship and steam-engine makers in Sootland, and bad originally been built to run, as a post office tender, between Glasgow and Greenock, but, in consequence of her speed and strength, had been diverted from this legitimate purpose to the more profitable and risky, but less lawful, pursuit of that branch of free trade called blookade-mnning. Un fortunately for her former owners, she broke one of her wheels, “came to grief’’ (somewhere near Charleston, we believe), was captured by a United States vessel, brought into this port, condemned, and sold, the purchasers being Bucknor A James, above mentioned. The Jupiter was taken into Hammett’s screw dock, Kensington, for wholesale repair and refit ment, whieh have made her even better than when she left Scotland. 'While sauntering about Ham mett’s, previous to starting on the trial trip, aeveral of the party examined the screw-dock, and the ease with which it is worked by an engine of 16-horse power. At this moment there is now on it, in course of being careened and oopper-sheathed, a splendid vessel, the large bark Glenwood, Captain Fairchild, and, close by, the brig Albert Adam, Captain Cum mins, from lately-sustained accidents (the latter from the ice), which rendered their being overhauled quite necessary. The Jupiter is 185 feet long, 18 feet between, and 36 feet over all. She is of iron, in compartments, and is fitted below with unusual elegance. Her en gines, which were repaired by James W. Landell & Co., occupy comparatively small space, and are of 666 horse-power—capable for a thousand-ton steam er, instead of the Jupiter’s 268 tons. In fact, every thing was done to make this a fast steamer, and, in the Clyde, before her machinery received it. final improvements, she had repeatedly run 21 knots an hour. Precisely at 33 minutes after l P. M. the Jupiter steamed out of Hammett’s wharf. She was steered by Pilot Mason, commanded by Captain Symmesi with U. S. Engineer W. S, Thompson, [of the At lanta prize-ram, in charge of her engines. Mr. Felix Tianer (we hope we properly spell the name of a very courteous and Intelligent gentleman) kept time, and a. some of our mercantile friends may wish to have particular., we copy his memorandum: “ Feb. 6. Steamship Jupiter left Hammett’s screw dock, Kensington, at 1.33, with 12 9>s. of steam and fires green ; 1-44, passed midships of ship-houses at navy yard, 4 lbs. steam; 2.13, passed mouth of Schuylkill river, no vibration of vessel; 2.17, passed Fort Light, Byf miles, steam shut off, journals heated part of the time; 2.31, passed Fort Light on the return ol trip, against the tide, 9 fits of steam and cut off; 3.08, between ship-houses at navy yard, speed equal to 16 knots; 3.22, passed Hammett’s dock, from whence started." The opinion of the nautical cognoscenti on board was that she could easily make 20 miles an hour in slack water. The Jupiter wouldmake a splendid despatoh-boat, and if Mr. Fox; on the part of the United States Government, should desire to test her capabilities, we believe that the owners are ready to enter for a trial of speed with any vessel he may aeoept the challenge with. To cover extra expenses, loss of time, &0., Mr. Fox, of course, would not object to " post the Goal’’ to the tune of $6,000, to be taken by the winner. ' During the trip, Beck’s Band played a number of appropriate national and other airs. On the return, the company descended between deoks, where they found a sumptuous repast, provided by Mr. H. Neall, Corn Exchange restaurant, and the sparkling ac quaintance of the Widow Cliquot was cultivated, •■within the limits of becoming mirth,” a, the Swan of Avon hath it, by nearly every one present. After this repast, while the steamer was still gliding up the river, “walking the water like athlng of life,” there was some lively speech-making, pour passer le temps, in which Colonel James Page, Messrs. S. D. Thompson, B. j. Bucknor, William A. James, Cat tell, Felix Trailer, D. O. MeOammon, Captain MoMa kin, John K. and John Hammett, Dr. Shelton Mac kenzie, and others took part. There were a few part ing toasts, with musio, vocal and instrumental, in the state cabin, after the return to Hammett’s dock, and the party separated, at 6 P. M., much catisfied with the Jupiter and her owners. The Mauch Chunk Rioters. At the trial of one or two more of the rioters on Wednesday, at Beading, John P. Shurman said he had a conversation with the prisoner, Charles Du gan, the morning after the meeting, and he said that he bad attended the and that they appoint ed a committee to enroll names to resist the draft; that they were all going to be armed to resist the officers ol the Government injmaking thedraft; that this was a nigger war, and that they had rather fight and die at their own doors than go and Sght for Abe Lincoln and his niggers; that they intended to kill Mr. Pardee (the provost marshal),' so he oouid not get the names and make the enrolment, and burn Hazleton and destroy the provost marshal's re cords. Shurman swore also that the prisoner, Charles Dugan, told-him. that the plan was . to go to Beaver Meadow, and aurpriae Captain Fates’ (formerly pi the (jjohenwtady Times) company of the Invalid Corps, kill them, and take their arms, and march on to Scranton, and attaok and overpower the troops stationed there; and by that time G-en. Lee would be in Pennsylvania with hie army, and be largely reinforced from the mines, and the war would be ended In Pennsylvania. A correspondent of thee Times writes : I prediet that when this commission has finished Its labors, and den. Ooush shall have told the pri soners in a “ speoial order" what the Government think of its subject* who rise in arms against it. that it will be a long time before the “ Copperheads ” of Carbon county will again resort to force to resist the . laws of the land. ARMY OF THE POTOMAC. Imperial Correspondence of The Press. 1 OtJLPErnB C. H., Feb. 1, 1864. I have often wondered who should be most dis criminating—the army correspondent or his army of readers. Every day we read of the deplorable condition and gloomF.l'fOßpe3ta of the rebels. Now we hear their army U reduced to half rations; again that they suffer poignantly for laok of clothing; anon we read of the scarcity and leanneas of horses, and that the amnesty proclamation has made their soldiers ripe for revolt. Every correspondent who has visited this army, since the second battle of Bull Bun, has at Intervals caused te be published some tale of “ fearful suffering among the rebels." These are the lamentations of correspondents, sad should the would-be! Confederacy ever require ft “Weeping Prophet,!* we will find that the corre spondents have, in. their zeal to encourage the soldiers of the Union, published stories of want and suffering sufficiently large to make a lamenta ble volume or lamentations. I have met men with their faces toward the field, .and their bocks to tneir foes. The battle etill raged, but they heeded it sot, save to get hid from the smoke that blinded, tod den Of the gognds that ap palled. Ask them ajquestiop, and for answer you hear that "our has been all eut to pieces; lam tbe only than in our company who has escaped." Every day there are some deserters to be seen, and, according to the nature of your questions, do they cook their stories. If you inquire of suffer ing, they have ready made a tale of woe, and point to their own lank Bides and tattered garbs. Give one hint that you bUme the South Carolinians for heading this rebellion, and they assent, with loud and angry execration* against that onee aristocratic State. They will tell you South Oarollnanever loved the freedom of our Institutions and would rather be a dukedom than a sovereigns State; how her gentlemen, like John Randolph, of Roanoke, grieved for the law of primo. geniture, titles of rank and monopolies. And before the commencement .of this war, they would add, their judicial proceeding* were attended with the Utmost pomp; in Charleston the sheriff walked In the judges' train, oarrylsg a drawn sword. Talk to them disparagingly of Ncrth Carolina and they answer you with a contemptuous “ psha! them tar-heels never fight with shuoke." Prisoners and deserters invariably endeavor to Ingratiate themselves into the favor of thoie who have the power over them, and the moot common method adopted by them is to tell yon things that please; In sooth, I have grown weary of these complaints, for I have listened to them often, under various eireumstaneee, and in every intonation of voice. Many not only cease to believe such reports, but go still farther and assert that tbe rebels have abun dant supplies, plenty of comfortable olothicg, and no lack of good cavalry horses. Here greet discre tion is nuded by reader and writers. One is apt to write too*much; the other believes too little. Lieutenant Myers,- of General Merritt’s staff, went Inside the enemy’s lines lost week, under the friendly cover of a flag of truce. The first thing among our officers, after inquiring about the wel fare of a visitor, is the custom of offering re. fieshments—sometimes solids, but always liquids. This proffer is made, if ii be only "hard tack" and commissary whisky, If it were possi ble, they would give thslr guests terrapins to eat, and champagne for Crick. The cost Is sel dom counted, for the army 1* the greatest school for prodigality a man could enter. If Yankees be thus hospitable the chivalrous Southerner should be more so. At least such Is the natural presumption. Our offloer started early'in the morning, and at noon, when he met the rebel officers within their lines, he had an excellent appetite for that dinner to Which he expected an invitation, and of whieh he did not Fpartake. Prate a> we may of their depriva tions, they still retain'their pride. These rebel offi cers ehose rather to be wanting in hospitality than to expose their scanty fore. Marion, when he re galed the British offleer upon roasted sweet pota toes and spring water, w»» not like one of these. It was thought that same of the eleven men be longing to the 3d Indiana Cavalry, and who were captured a few nights ago, would return. About fourteen men under command of a sergeant were patrolling the country near Madison Court House. The rebels are constantly sending over foraging and sooutlng parties, and we generally capture a number of them before they recross the river. One of our cavalry regiments had been reconnoitring this road the day previous, and about one hundred rebels were'hovering around their rear os they re turned. The sergeant with his patrol marohed into the midst of this party, and only three escaped. It was thought that some more might have eluded their captors and escaped, but they have not re tamed, if they did. By order of Gen. Merritt, four hundred men were started out toward Madison Court House, in search of a body of their cavalry quartered lu that locality. Capt. Gordon, with 200 men of the 2d United States Cavalry, and Col. Chapman,with a like number from the 3d Indiana and Bth Hew York. The reconnoi tring parties began their march about midnight on Saturday. They were to deploy to the right and left, scouring the country they passed through, and rendezvousing at Mount Carmel Church. Chapman, on the right, penetrated to theßobinson river; about daylight they surprised the rebel pickets. A brief, sharp skirmish ensued, in which two rebels were killed and wounded, and ten men, with their horses and accoutrements, captured, Gordon was equally successful on the left —but the two squad rons felled to meet at tbe appointed place, owing to the isoompetenoy of their guide. The 4th and 6lh Virginia Cavalry were on duty through this section of country. Our party returned last night without losing a man. The 3d Indiana feel their anger slight ly assuaged since they have overbalanced their ao oount with the rebels. Any good regiment would be piqued at the loss of ten men captured. This 3<l Indiana Cavalry is composed of fighting men and they dislike being taken prisoners. While our soldiers were pushing steadily along toward Madison Court House they discovered a man sitting on a large rook by tbe wayside. Upon ac costing this Individual they learned that his name was Young, of the 7th Michigan. He had made up bis mind to desert to the enemy; after abandoning his arms he started, forth, and had gone thus far when some inward monitor besought him to pause and consider the msgnitude of the step he was taking. He “just sat down to think.” The dis grace of his family, the baseness of his conduct and punishment of his crime made him shudder and repent. Opportunely Tor him, our scouting party came along when he was in this mood. The intended deserter gave himself up, confessed his wrong, and marched back with his comrades, a wiser and a sadder cavalryman. It was thought the firing heard some time ago, and whieh some presumed to have emanated from the rebels, has been heard again. It may be that the generous terms of the President’s amnesty pro clamation have stirred up the hearts of some to mu tiny and rage against their leaders. And it may be that many of them think they ought to go home. A man who has been a soldier for three yeare seldom stops to reason. The enlisted man knows when his term of service expires, and it iB folly to talk reason to him. He “ will have the bond.” In spite of de-- sertlons and revolts among the rebels, we will find plenty of them to fight utlin the spring—on this very ground perhaps. Let uanot grow listless and loek for easy conquests. Among the late few vieltom who have visited our picket line, was Mr. A. T. Garretson—what Charles Beade would style “one of the extraordinary pro ductions of that extraordinary country the United States;” an inventor, aman possessed of hidden fires, and who came here to teat upon the rebels the value of his invention, for which he had achieved a patent. It was such a simple arrangement I wonder it was not discovered long ago. A single reflector, placed upon the musket or rifle, enables one to bold the weapon high above the head and shoot -with aooura. cy. In this manner two audacious scouts of the enemy were wounded. The invention le of no earthly use but on small arms and to pickets and videttea, who oan thus Are on their foe without exposing the least portion of their person. Whether this dis covery was accidental or the result of a liberal con sumption of midnight oil and deep study in seclusion I cannot say. I have only seen the invention, not The inventor. Occasionally I take a glance at the interior of the provost marshal’s office. All the male citizens have to report here every morning, and frequently I hear some delinquent pleading his excuse for not eoming sooner. At other times I find a lady standing de mure and erect, while she is being measured pre paratory to taking the oath of allegianoe. Fre quently I read descriptive lists, of which the fol lowing is a pattern: “Mias Jennie Jones, 20 years, old, light hair, blue eyes—height, 6 feet, 1 inch.” Sunday week, an old and young lady, In com pany of a Union soldier, presented them selves at this office, to swear fealty to the Uni ted Statea Government, and procure passes to Bal timore. The young lady expeoted a soldier, who belonged to the 76th New York, to marry her. Jnst as they were ready to start, a rumor reached the lady’s ears that her soldier was false—that he had a family in New York. The lady very wisely refused to go with her betrothed until be disproved these stories of his early marriage. Here the romance seems to have abruptly ended. It Is folly for a mar ried man to deny his condition. There is always some one to publish his misfortunes, as it was with Major De Boots. It is gratifying to see the number of those who take the oath of allegianoe daily in creasing. _ ■ A Obsdit to His Colon.— We were not aware yesterday. When we commented upon Hie very able and interesting article extracted from the Edinburgh “Siw, that it was written by a rtmaway slave.

In the ou6 of the United States n. Cathosrt dt Parmenter, Judge Leavitt, a few days since, do. livered an important decision in the United States court at Oixici&natl. A. special demurrer and a mo* tlon to quash are negatived by Judge Leavitt 1 * de cree. The argument for the defence was based on the theory of secession. A portion of Judge Leavitt’s opinion is as follows: Judge Story, in dliouning the question whether the Constitution of the United States is a compact between the several States, remarks that“there is nowhere found upon the face of the Constitution any clause intimating it to.be a compaot, or in any wise providing for its interpretation as such. On tbe contrary, the preamble emphatically speaks of it as a solemn ordinance and establishment of Go vernment. The language is: We, the people of the United States, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America Com. on the (Jon* Btitution (Abr. edition), H 7. And, again, p. 119, the learned author says: u But that which would seem conclusive on the subject is the very language of the Constitution itself, This Constitution, says the sixth article, and the laws of the United States which shall be made in pursuance thereof, and alt treaties made, or which shall be made, under the authority of the United States, shall be the supreme law of the land.™ And he adds: “llit be the supreme law, how can the people ol any State, either by any form of its own Constitu tion or laws, or other proceedings, repeal, abrogate, or suspend it ?*» And again he says: “ This, of it self, imports legal obligation, permanence, and un controliability by any but the authorities author ized to alter or abolish it.’ 1 And, again, on this sub* ject, the learned writer says, p. 681: “It would be a perfect solecism to affirm that a national govern ment should exißt with certain powers, and yet in the exeroiae of those powers should not be supreme. 1 ’ I will add to these references a brief notloe of the case of Ableman vs. Booth—2l Howard R. 606—de cided by the Supreme Court of the United States in 1668, which sustains fully the general dootrines af firmed by the prior decisions of that court. I make this Reference with the more satisfaction because the opinion was written and delivered by Chief-Jus tice Taney, a judge eminent for hi* profound legal learning, and who has never been charged with ex* tremd liberality In construing the Constitution m the United States, and defining tbe powers of ins General Government, In that case, a judge of a State Court in Wisconsin bad discharged a party on habeas corpus who wasin custody under the authori ty of the United States. The Supreme Court of the State sustained the action of the lower judge and the case was removed to the Supreme Court of the United States by writ of error, in accordance with the 26th section of the judiciary act of 1739. I shall give but brief quotations from the opinion of the oouit. Indicting their views on the suffieot under consideration. On page 616 the court say: “Although the State of Wisconsin is sovereign within its ter ritorial limits to a certain extent, yet that sove reignty is limited and restricted by the Consti tution of the United States. And the powers of the General Government and of the State, although both exist and are exercised within tbe same territorial limits, are yet separate and distinct sovereignties, acting separately and independently of each other within their respective spheres, And the sphere of action appropriated to the United States Is os for beyond the reach of the juoioial process issued by a State judge or a State court as if the line of division was traeed by land marks and monuments visible to the eye.” Again, on page 617, the court say: “The Constitution was not formed merely to guard the States against danger from foreign nations, but mainly to secure union and harmony at home; for if this ob ject could be obtained there would be little dan ger from abroad; and, to accomplish this pur pose, it was felt by the statesmen who framed the Constitution, and by tbe people who adopted it, that it was necessary that many of the rights of sove reignty which the States then possessed should be ceded lo tbe General Government; and that in the sphere of action assigned to it it should be su* prtme, and strong enough to execute Us own laws by its own tribunals, without interruption from a State , or ft om State authorities. And it was evident that any thing short of this would be inadequate to the main objects for which the Government was established.” And the court further say: “The language of the Constitution by which this power is granted Is too Slain to admit of doubt, or to need comment. It edares that this Constitution, and the law* which shall be passed in pursuance thereof, and all treaties made, or which shall be made, under the authority of the United States, shall be the supreme law of the land, and the judges in every State shall be bound thereby, anything in the Constitution or laws of any State to the contrary notwithstanding.” On page 624 the court further say: “ Nor Is there any thing in the supremacy of tbe General Government, or the jurisdiction of its tribunals, to awaken the jeatousy or offend the natural and just pride of State sovereignty. Neither this Government nor the powers of which we are speaking were forced upon the States. The Constitution of the United Stalest with all the powers conferred on it by the General Go* vemmenl, and surrendered by the States, was the volun tary act of the people of the several States, deliberately done, for their own protection and safety against in justice from one another.™ And they add, page 626: “ Now It certainly can be no humiliation to the citi zen of a republic to yield a ready obedience to the laws as administered by the constituted authorities. On the contrary, it Is among the first and highest du ties as a citizen, because free government cannot exist without it. Nor can it be inconsistent with tbe dig nity of a sovereign State to observe faithfully, and in the spirit of sincerity and truth, the compact into which it voluntarily entered when it beoame a State of this Union. And certainly no faith could be more deliberately and solemnly pledged than that which every State has plighted to the other states to support the Con stitution as it is, in all its provisions, until they shall be altered in the manner which the Constitution itself prescribes .” Geo. W. Jenes vs. Win* H. Seward. AN ACTION FOR FALSE IMPRISONMENT—DAMAGES LAID AT S6O,OOO—ARGUMENT ON A PETITION TO ’ REMOVE THE CASE TO THE UNITED STATES CIR CUIT COURT. [From tbe AT. Y. Herald, Feb. 5.2 SUPREME COURT—GENERAL TERM, FEB. 4. Before Judges Gierke, Leonard, and Sutherland Geo. W, Jones vs. Wm. H> Seward. The plaintiff in this action was formerly United States Minister to Nicaragua. In the month of November, 1361, While stopping at the New York Hotel In this city, en route to bis home in lowa, he was arrested by order of Secretary Seward, and confined in Fort Lafayette, on charge of being in treasonable corre spondence with the rebels. He remained in prison about four months, when an order came for his dis charge. Immediately upon being released, Mr. Jones commenced an action against Secretary Seward for false imprisonment, laying his damages At fifty thou sand dollars. The case came up before Judge Clerke, la the Su preme Court, special term, last October, when the couDiel for the defendant petitioned to have the ease removed to the United States District Court, under the filth section cf the act of Congress passed March 3,1863, which provides that if any suit has been or sball be commenced against any officer, civil or mill taiy, or any other person, for any arrest, imprison ment, trespass, or wrong done during the present re bellion, by virtue or under color of any authority derived from the President of the United States or any act of Congress, the defendant may temove Buoh action into the Circuit Court of the United States for the district in which the suit is brought, on com ply ir g with certain requirements. The court denied the motion without costs, on the ground that the only question in th^action worthy of consideration which could be entertained did not arise under the Constitution of the United States, but was fitly within the jurisdiction of the State eaurt. From this decision the defendant appealed to the Supreme Court, general term, where the case was fully argued to-day by James T. Brady and William O. Traphsgen on the paTt of Mr. Seward, and E R. Meade ana ex-Judge William F. Allen on the part of Mr. Jones. POINTS OP RESPONDENT. First. No appeal lies in the case. No order was necessary for the removal of the action, and whether the order was granted or refused, the removal was effected by force of the act, i! the case was a proper case for removal under the Constitution and laws of the United States, and the petition, &c., was in proper form. Second. The petition does not make a case for re moval under the Constitution or any act of Con gress. The petition and affidavit should state posi tively and unequivocally the points constituting the grounds of removal. Third. The bond is defective. It has no penalty, and it should be in double the amount claimed, or at least in the same penalty. Fourth . Conceding that it was sufficiently averred in the petition that the defendant committed the acts complained of “ as Secretary of State of the United States of America, under authority derived by him fiom the President of the United States,” it did not bring the case within the jurisdiction of the Federal judiciary under the Constitution and laws of Con- The foot that emigres. ha. undertaken by law to confer jurisdiction upon tbe federal court, does not make the case one arising under the laws of the United States. A case arises when a suit is brought and it is under the laws of the United States; when the act or other matter to be investi gated concerns the laws of the United States in ex istence at the time of the act or transaction in ques tion, or when some law in force at the time is alleged as giving the action or furnishing the defence. Sixth. The act complained of was a simple tres -I>sss committed upon land within the territorial iznltt of tbe State of New York, of which the courts of the state had exclusive jurisdiction at the time of its commission, there being no claim or color of claim of any jurisdiction under the Constitution or lawe of Congress in force at the time. The subse quent set of Congress, broad as it is, does not oust the State courts of their jurisdiction, which Is per fect and complete. POINTS FOR THE DEPENDANT. First . In making this motion the defendant does not admit the necessity of any order from this court to deprive it from jurisdiction or control over this ease. The act of Congress passed March 3, 1663, entitled •• An act relative to habeas corpus and re gulating judicial proceedings in certain oases,” pro vides in the fifth section that if any suit has been or shall be commenced against any”officer, civil or military, or any other person,” for any arrest, im prisonment, trespass, or wrong, done, or any act omitted to be done, during the present rebellion, « by virtue or under color of any authority derived from or exercised by or under the President of the United States or any act of Congress,” the defendant may remove such action into the Circuit Court of the United States for the district where the suit is brought, on complying with certain requirements, such as oflering sufficient surety, &o. Second. But in making this motion we proceed according to a practice which oourtesy at least justi fies, and which has hitherto prevailed, on the re moval ot actions from the State Into tri bunal under acts of Congress similar to the one above mentioned. . Third. The act of March 3,1863, is constitutional. The judiciary act of Congress passed September 1789, enacted that the Circuit Courts of the Unitea States ahall have original cognizance, IS6I TMI WM done uider the authority of the President The Supreme Court of the United State., m Wiloox v.“ Jackson, 13 Fetere, 498, .a,.: “ The Preatdent act* to ninny caie. through the hand, of department.." in Marbura y».

Fifth. We have made the auggc.tlon. presented un der the fourthpoint to .how that whether or not, un der the neoessary Implication arisingfrom the auapen cion of the wrlt,|the President, a. .uoh, or a.

It ipaases, I confess, my wit to discern how, con sistently even with his own view of the truth, Fro sident Lincoln can so modify or distort this resume of the military incident* of 1863 as to employ lan guage which, In hta recent singular massage to Con press, has flowed from his pen. What does he see to justify him in talking about “pardon to rebels,” who laugh either at his mercy or his severity, and who have in the field 1,000 pieces of artillery and more than a quarter of a million tried and hardened soldiers 1 No Federal army has as yet succeeded in getting far away from its water base; their enemy has constantly moved upon an inner and concealed line of communication. It will be possible next spring to throw Gen. Longstrect into Georgia or Virginia at. a bumetifja notice , and without the knowledge of his oppo nents, Early in next year another important link in the interior line of railroad communication connect ing Richmond with the South will be finished, and Danville, in Virginia, united with Ooldsborougb, in North Carolina. The Legislatures of each State in tbe Confederacy have recently been in session, and have dissolved, breathing threatening* and slaugh ter against their hated foe. In the Legislature of North Carolina—the State wbloh, of all others, ie held to be most deeply imbued with Union senV ment—there was a motion for offering to the North proposals for peace upon the basia of independent State action, but only two members voted for it,— Richmond Corr. London Times. THE WORK TO BE PKEFORMBD. [From the Richmond Whig, January 18.] The work we have at present to perform is almost immediately before us. A couple of months or so will .witness the resumption of active military ope> rations. To place the old men and boys in camp at tim season, in the mtdet of the inclement winter, would prove dcalrxu.Hue of ike livid of perhaps half of them, and the other half would be of tulle or no effective service Within the period required. They cannot supply the places of robust absentees, railroad and provost guards &0., Ac., who are already inured to oamp, and In structed in the art of arms. These are the true re serves which we are how to bring up—to bring mp immediately—to meet the crisis which the opening of the near approaching spring campaign will in evitably present. And these, we are fully and firmly persuaded, will be enough. We ore not weak—not half so poor as to be “ grinding our seed corn,™ or looking to the aged fathers of the land to step between us and subjugation. Our Congren would ereate a false impression upon the minds of our enemies, and convey to the world a most corn miserable picture of poverty and wretchedness, if, by their legislation, they should say we now put forth our last resource—falling in this, we are lost and undone forever. GOOD NEWS FROM THE REBEL ARMIES. [From the Richmond Whig, Jan. 26.3 Lee’s army, though not *o,large as it ought to be. is in fine plight. It is large enough, too, to send Meade on a begging tour for more men. Food is yet ample, clothing abundant, shoes plentiful enough, ana the spirits of the men all that could be wished. Whoever has the blues, the hippo, the megrims, or the hysterics, need only go to Lee’s army to be cured instantly. Ail who have been to that army agree that a visit there is an infallible remedy for despon dency. Officers who come to Richmond make haste to get back to the Rapidan. They declare that the croaking and gloom of the city demoralize them. Judging from what it has done of late, and is still doing, Longstieei’s army is also in fine condition. Some of the men have suffered severely for the want of blankets and shoes, but the people and the Go vernment have come to their relief, and oomplainte have ceased. Any way, naked or not, Longstreet’a men are plucky and stout enough to drive the enemy to within four miles of Knoxville, as the reader will see by referring to the column of telegram*. GENERAL NEWS. The Greatest of Rat Hunts.—Everybody has heard of the vast system of sewers which underlies the great city of Paris. Through these subterra nean intricacies, according to Vlotor Hugo in the Misitables, Jean V&lje&n carried Marius on his back for miles, from the barrioade to the banks of the Seine. It seems that during severe frosts, the vast multitudes of rats which abound in Paris take to the sewers as a refuge from the cold. Latterly, the weather has been more than usually severe, and the conditions being favorable, it was resolved to have a great rat hunt. Accordingly, the authorities, as sisted by a number of men, gamins, and dogs, entered the lewen at various places, and began a grand drive towards a common centre* Just a« the beater* In an Indian jungle, with tom-toms, gongs, horns, drums, and frightful yells, send all the animals, front the tiger to the smallest antelope, towards the hun ters, the subterranean drivers soon had millions of rats massed together, struggling, squealing, and fighting with extraordinary ferocity. At length they were driven into a large sewer near the bridge of Aameres, and forty dogs were'Tet down among them. A battle royal ensued, which lasted no less than forty-five hour*, and at the end of it viotory re mained with the dogs. But the latter had paid dearly for their triumph. Four were found in the drain killed outright,and quite a number were totally blind and helpless when recovered by the gamins, who at length ventured to explore the profound depths of the battle. Most of the rats esoaped In the melee, but yet no less than 110,000 were found dead. As the finest Parisian kid gloves are said to be made of tbe skins of these animals, there will be material for many gross* A Big Snow Storm,—The Oshkosh (Wts.) C<w« ricr ot January 30, says: “We are having the biggest kind of a snow storm. It has snowed, up to thi* time, (9 o’clock A. M. Saturday) for twenty»eight hours continually, interspersed occasionally with fine hail, and is now snowing ’big guns.’ We saw snow drifts this morning from fifteen to forty feet high. Some may think this a pretty big story, but it is true nevertheless. The boys just down from the pinery, repoit any amount of suow in the woods, and all hands busy as bees getting in logs. The price of logs will be pretty steep next spring owing to the high price that has to be paid for labor and all kinds of supplies needed in the woods. A Giant at the Bar.—lt may ssem a singular thing, but it is nevertheless a veritable fact, that the tallest man in the United Kingdom serves be hind the bar of a public house in this town. He ns seven feet four inches in height, upward of twenty three stone in weight, and hie strength i« in propor tion to his size. By trade he is a ropemaker, and he occasionally exhibits some rare specimens of what he can do in that way, by twisting paper into rope with his fingers almost as strong as if made Ot the usual materials* His hands are so large that be can grasp with one of them three ordinary sized hands, and is thus able to shake hands with three persons at the same time. —Liverpool paper. The Bishop op Salisbury has been giving a se ries of entertainments at his palace. The first con sisted of a substantial dinner given to about one hun dred poor men and women selected by the parochial clergy and others from the several parishes la the city. This was followed by invitations to the dis trict visitors and other ladies to spend the evening at the palace.

These gatherings were brought to «termi nation by the Bishop entertaining the Mayor, the Town Council, the magistrates, and other gentle men. The Guerilla Outrages at Scottsvillb, Ky. —According to the Louisville Journal, Scottiviile was bravely defended, but, in spite of solemn, pledges, the guerillas broke open tbe jail and re leased two of their gang who were under iadictment for murder. The amount stolen from the citizens Will reach $30,000, They seemed to be possessed of a devilish disposition to mutilate aud destroy every thing that they could not carry off with them, and the damages inflicted will be sorely felt by the citi zens of Scottsvilie. They made a desperate attempt to burn the jail, but were thwarted in their design by the united efforts of our soldiers and the citi zens. Stone Wall Jackson Enlisted in the Union Army.— This morning (says the Brooklyn^ Times) a young farmer from Ugdeoaburg, in this State, ap plied at the office of Captain Maddox, No. 26 Grand street, for a place in the Union racks.
