Everybody knows that there is a great deal of de. lay and difficulty in securing enough men to fill the quota of the city, owiog mainly to the rule, pre scribed by the War Department, the burden of our own municipal machinery, and the want of a elear comprehension of what Is to be done, as well by those who are to get as by those who are to give the local bounty. Standing right face to face are the re eallsted veterans and the city or county treasurers, the former with their rolls, the latter with their mo ney, and yet an impassable barrier of red tape, an unfathomable screen of official .mystery and rou tine, a deep chasm of forms and orders, and credits and muster-in rolls and certificates, keep them in the most tantalizing way just out of each other’s reach- In order to he justified in paying a looal bounty, there must be furnished such evidenoe as will satisfy the local provost marshal of the fact of a credit on thy quota of his (Sistiiet or any part of it. But, wherever men aie re-enlisted or remustered out of that district, .11 the evidences of such a oreilit must go.up to Washington, which is to the whole volun teer rorce what our dealing house is to the banks, and thence come down again through tortuous chan nels to the local provost marshal. Until he is sa- tisfied of the fast and gives the credit on his books, it would be his duty, at any time when a dratt is or fiend, to enforce it on the basis of his own records, and until these are made up, there is no safety in pacing local bounties, and no assurance of credit on the quota, from men. re-enlisted in the field. Our neighbors, in New Jersey, however, have an abiding faith ' n the force Of the almighty dollar, and their lakt exploit is recited in the subjoined article from the Daily Advocate , ol Jersey City, February 19, 186 H. On the strength of orders from Washington, allow ing "veterans ” to be credited wherever they were paid local bounties, the Jersey City authorities have quietly gone Into the market and bought up the “Budetails,” or lßt Pennsylvania Bines. This regi ment, or what Is left of it, Is one of the best, II not the very best, In the old Reserves, an organization peculiarly Pennsylvanian, and entitled to the high est reward that their old services and their new pledges can get. It is plain that no one'antiolpated such a somersault as this, and it .is far from deal even now that a Pennsylvania regiment can re.en list and convert itself into a part of the new Jersey quota, and be so received. But, whatever they can do, or whateverthe result of this particular Instance, it should serve as a warning to us and to other Pennsylvania regiments. Prompt steps should be taken, at least as deeisive as those ol the Jersey City Oounellmen, to convince our veterans that they are entitled to the largest local bounties, to payment with the least possible delay, and to terms within their own State not seoond to an; from without- Of the lots in reputation to a regiment which thus disfranchises itself; of the loss in looal assistance to the families left behind by the men themselves; of the complications in election and other privileges of a shifting citizenship of this sort, there la no need to spesk here and now. The questions involved are very grave and serious, and for the present we are content to point simply to the following: LFrom the Jersoj City Advocate. 1 “At 10 o’clock this morning Mayor Romar noti fied Captain Hopper and the recruiting agents that they need not reoruit any more men for this city, the quotas of 693 men on the July caU and of 603 men on the October call being now filled! Seven teen men were recruited and sent to Trenton this morning. “ Besides this city, the towns of Bergen, Green ville, and Bayonne have filled their quotas, these being the only places in the eounty that have offered a bounty. “The inhabitants of Hoboken. Hudson City, Harri son, North Bergen, Union, West Hoboken, and Wtebftwken not having offered any Inducements, are left out in the cold, and will undoubtedly be un der the necessity of submitting to the conscription act after the 10th of March. <* Captain Hopper desires us to state that as there are now no bounties offered in this county he is pre pared to enlist men for other pans of. the State, where the largest inducements are offered, * l A few days since, our wide-awake citizen, Ex- Aldeimau, Ex-Recorder, Thomas E. Tiiden, and at present Recruiting Agent, paid a visit to thd army with au eje to business. He visited the First Regi* ment Pennsylvania Rifles, known as the ‘Back tails,” and Becured sixty-five men from am.ong them to be credited to Jersey City. On Saturday, the speoial committee of the Common Council on en listments drew the required amount of money ($22,760) and proceeded to Bristow Station, where the Bucktails are now stationed, and paid the city bounty of $350 to each of the sixty-five men. The committee arrived home last night, having recruited twenty-five additional men from the Buektail Regi ment, and will again return to the army to pay them the bounty* They are a noble set or men, and as brave and daring as any soldiers in the field. “ At the time of the seven-days l flghton the Pen ■ insula, the brigade to which they belonged were sta tioned in rifle-pits on a side hill, in front of whioh jKag-SLCieek &nd miry- ground, and located. %fiout one mile in the rear of MeohaaiosvUio. They were attacked early in the afternoon by an overwhelming force, under Stonewall Jackson, which mada rper*U tenifeffortr/up to 3 o’clock at night, to dislodge them, without effect. About 4 o’clock, the next morning (the day of the Gaines’ Mills battle), General McClellan went upon the field, and ordered their re treat, whiah they did very much against their will,, asserting that they were able to hold their position, and would do it if General McClellan would grant them permission.” CiisiiGyMEif von tsb Asst.-During the past few week, a number of eminent clergymen of this city, -New York, and Brooklyn have visited the Army of the Potomac, under the auspices of the United States Christian Commission, for the pur pose of preaching to our soldiers. Among those who have gone down and returned are Rev. J. ’Wheaton Smith, Eer. S. P. Henson, Rev. A. O. MoAuley, Bey. F. L. Robbins, and others, of this eity; Rev. J. B. Davis, of Brideßburg, and Rev. Dr. Rockwell, of Brooklyn. These have all returned highly pleased with their visit, and apeak encouragingly of the moral and religious condition of the army and of the demand among the men forreUglousandgood secular reading matter. The Christian Commission has established a preaching station at Gen. Meade’s headquarters, which was orened a few Sabbaths ago by Rev. Dr. Rockwell, of Brooklyn. We understand it is the intention of the Commis sion to keep this station fully supplied with some of the most eminent ministers*of this city and else where. Rev. Alfred Cookman, well known in this city, now of New York; Rev. Mr, Hatfield, and Rev. Mr. Watkins, of Brooklyn, eminent ministers ol the Methodist Episcopal Church, passed through the city, on Friday last, on their way -to the Army of the Potomac. {Our soldiers deserve the best pulpit tslent of the country, and this effort of the Christian Commission to supply them with such 'is iu keeping with all their exertions on behalf of the defenders of the Union, - The Almaden Quicksilver Case In the Supreme Court. The argument of the quicksilver ease, which occu pied all of the last week, will not be finished till Tuesday or Wednesday of the present week. The case iB a complicated one, not only In the facts and law involved, but in the technical questions of prac tice inherent in the peculiar jurisdiction given to the court over land titles in California and other tern tqry acquired of Mexico. The quickailver oompany claim the mine in controversy under a grant to Charles Fossatt, which the Supreme Court has pronounced valid, and whfch has been ordered to be suiveyed within certain exterior boundaries. When this survey by the Land Office Surveyor, defining metes and bounds, and so laid down as to include the mine, came before the United States District Court of California foreonflrmatlon, oertain ether parties intervened under the statute to object to so much of the survey as embraced the mine. Among them was one Berryesea, who insisted that the mine was on laud granted to him. The Dlstriot Court did not confirm the Fossatt survey, but, among other changes therein, it modified the east ern boundary line so that the mine was thrown out, and to the eastward of the Fossatt grant. To this deorce of the District Court, Fossatt : of course took exception, and appealed to the Su preme Court. The oase is entitled Charles Foisatt et al. vs. United States. The United States, although claiming in the court below that the mine belonged ' neither to Fossatt, Berrye>ea, nor any other private person, but was publio property, yet did not take exception to decree there made, and it is now urged that thereby tbe Government has no standing In court here. The Attorney General, however, has been permitted to present argument for the United States. Since the decision of the court iu California, the quicksilver company have purchased the Berryesea interest in chief part. This grant to Berryesea, however, has not been surveyed or confirmed, and as yet there Is ho title in' him or his heirs from the United States. \ The quicksilver company rely in the present trial, first, upon throwing out the United States, because no appeal was taken; and when the Government is exoluded the contest, it is claimed, is between Bcr ryesea and Fossatt, both of Whose interests the com pany own; so that whether the Supreme Court say the mine belonged to Fossatt or Berryesea, the com pany Is safe. The difficulty with that theory seems to be that, in order to give the mine to Fossatt, the' Supreme Court must make itself a survey or, and lay down boundary lines. The company asks the Supreme Court not only to say that the oourt below was wiong in defining the eastern boundary as it did, tfnt, in addition , to mark Out the correct boundary. That would seem to be the duty of the LlUld Office, 'and not of the Supreme Court, and the appeal should have been to the Secretary of the Interior. The Supreme Court has.the power to reverse the decree below, or affirm It, but has, says the Government, no right to usurp executive functions, and become surveyors. Again, if the Supreme Court should sustain the decree of the court below, then tne mine is on the Berryesea grant, which must be surveyed before a pa tent can be issued, and that survey must he eon, firmed by a court where the United States can inter vene and be a party to resist for years the confirma tion. Altogether, the case bristles with points, and no man can with certainty prediet the end. The coun sel of each side are confident their respective voices will prevail, and speculators take the cue from them, and assume to be well informed. To risk mo ney upon tbe decision of the eourt would literally be " going It blind.” —Washington Chroniele. The Cars. To the Editor of The Press; Sib : I have ridden upon the Arch-street and Fair mount Passenger Railway every day forneara year, and have had no fault to find with, any arrange ments of the company; but I must confess that the time has arrived when others, ss well as myself, have just and suffislent osuse for complaint. I allude to the manner in which their cars are now run, viz: some cars run all the way through from Fairmount to Second street, while others only run to Twentieth and Arch streets from each end of tha road, thus causing passengers to change cars. Can it be possible that we are retrograding! Are pas sengers to be dumped out of a car at Twentieth and Arch streets in all kinds of weather, and stand seve ral minute, expoied to a pitiless storm waiting for another to take them home 1 Hare they the right to. do this thins I Does not their charter stipulate that they shall oarry passengers from Fairmount to the Exchange, or, at least, to Seoond street, without ohangeof carsl If their charter does hot say so, their patrons will; and 1, for one, will ride upon son » other road until the eyil is remedied. - Respectfully, ■ U, K.
