SATUBDAY, UEUfSAiHBK 10, 1884. Our Soldiers and tHe Rebel Prisons. Our correspondent from Annapolis, whose- letter published to-day will startle tlie public, has admitted that lie is unable to describe the suffering of our returned Soldiers from the rebel prisons, yet the pic ture he has drawn of their condition seems too terrible to be true. But tbo story is not exaggerated. It presents merely the vague outlines of that gigantic horror which the most vivid imagination is un able to conceive. For months the rumors and isolated facts which have reached the North of the condition of our prisoners in the rebel States have aroused a universal indignation and sympathy to which this revelation will give new strength. Our soldiers are just. Long suffering has not made them vindictive, and they admit that from the veterans of the rebel army they had good treatment. They * speak in high praise of the efforts made by many of the rebel surgeons to les sen their misery; but their testimony and condition arc conclusive proof that they have been subjected to cruellies which would do credit to the invention of the fiends. The Northern farmer gives his dog* better food and lodging than our soldiers received from the .jailors of the rebellion. They were shot down by their guards for sport, or because their mere shadows in the sun passed beyond established lines. The pun ishment for slight offences was often de privation of food and water; on the pretence that a tunnel was being dug to enable the prisoners to escape, the jailors at Andersonviiie stopped the rations of the entire camp for three days, and many men who had been half starving for weeks perished. This was wholesale murder offi cially sanctioned, and the wantonness of tho barbarity is disclosed by the fact that no tunnel had been dug. Sick men were denied medicine ; dead men were refused coffins, and buried in tiers three deep in shallow graves. Fuel, food, waiter, clothing, could not be obtained in quantities suffi cient to support life. In these pens Death revelled in carnival, and not the least hide ous part of the horrid pageant was the rebel ' recruiting officer with his bribe of a crust of bread. To the strong man starving, the choice was only between treason and the grave, and many a soldier who had entered •the Union army for his country’s sake alone now levels his gun against it. _ Who shall blame him for the act ? These sufferers have acquitted the veteran rebel soldiers of guilt in this matter, and we absolve the people of the South. Com ■mon faith in humanity forbids us to believe that they knew of the Satanic tortures in flicted by their agents. But the rebel Go vernment is convicted of this diabolism. "The blood of the martyrs stains the brow of every man in authority who knew of their agony and' did not try to lessen it. It is known that the very surgeons In the rebel service revealed the condition of the pri sons to the Richmond Government, and petitioned for food, medicine, and clothing. The Government knew the miseries of its prisoners. The Pandemonium of Belle Isle shamed its own capital. The evidence of its own cruelty was forced upon it. Yet, with a deliberate indifference or a calculating malignity, it established this prison system, and for more than two years has increased its severity and added to its horrors. Can it plead poverty as an excuse for the starva tion -of its prisoners? No. It boasts of its resources, and i:j refutation of the theory of its military exhaustion points to the granaries of Georgia and Alabama, the blockade-runners of Great Britain, and the commissariat of its armies. Congress and the Lobby. The present Congress is assailed by a pe culiar temptation. This'is its last session, and many of its members not elected to the next Congress are unlikely to feel the responsibility felt by those who will re main in the . public service. Experience shows that it is to the last sessions of our Congressional terms that we owe most.of our bad laws and imperfect legislation. There is all the more reason why the good -men in both Houses should earnestly ad dress themselves to business, and sternly resist the immense outside pressure that will he felt the moment the revision of the in ternal revenue laws is begun; Sir. Fessenden has shown the import ance of increasing the taxes on many arti cles that nQW pay a lighter duty than they should rightly bear, and his estimates re quire that Internal Revenue next year should produce three hundred millions of dollars. This increase of taxation is de manded by the public interest's, and en dorsed by the judgment of the people, and Congress is bound to secure it. But it is already apparent that influential combina tions of interested manufacturers are at •work to reduce the taxes on their commo dities below the present rates. The distil • lers are likely to be the first in the field. Commissioner Lewis, in his report, esti mates the annual yield of our distilleries at about one hundred millions of gallons, and that the national income from spirits will be, if the tax is not lowered, about eighty millions of dollars in the next year. The vast power which Whisky wields can he measured by these figures, and if Con gress does not stand firm it will stagger under the blow. If it submits to the Lob by, it will betray the great interests entrusted to it, and revive that wretch ed system of a vascillating and backsliding Revenue Law, which has worked so much injury to the country. If the excise on distilled spirits is to be touched at all, let' it be increased. We cannot afford to sacrifice one dollar of our present income, or to neglect one opportunity of in creasing it. The Sanitary Commission. The United States has not only revolu tionized the system of naval warfare, and taught European nations a military lesson on which they are likely to improve, but it has shown how the most destructive of wars maybe carried on with the highest pur poses of mercy, and to what a wonderful extent the horrors of the battle-field may be lessened by the energies of charity. Over the whole theatre of death, clouded with smoke arid illumined by fire, has hovered, from the beginning of the great struggle, the angel of peace. The loyal States, in creating and sustaining the United States Sanitary Commission, put European civili zation to the blush. ■ England of France never ; drcamod of such an institution as this, which, supported solely by voluntary contributions, has, from .Tune, 1861, -to October, 1864, received the vast sum of three millions and eighty thousands of dollars, of which nearly all has been already expended in ministering to the wants of our soldiers. In this great work it had no precedent, it has no rival, and it stands to-day as the chosen instrument of our national philan thropy, and the revelation of the spirit in Which we carry on this war. We believe the Sanitary. Commission still receives ample support from the country, and its latest report shows that at the beginning C>f this month its treasury had a balance Of $851,000. Managed with integrity and ability, the Commission has faithfully used ■the immense sums entrusted to it, and thorohghly deserves the confidence and contributions of the nation. The value of the Commission does not end with the comfort it gives to our sol diers, Its agents have collected many interesting and valuable facts concerning our armies, upon which the Government lias repeatedly established important re forms in our military system. The history of the war must be largely written from its documents. A special committee appointed by the Commission has visited this week the returned prisoners at Annapolis, Md., and will soon present a report which win give to the world the true condition of the rebel prisons. It, is in this way that the Sanitary Commission is constantly extend ing its nsefulaeß& and strengthening its claim upon the- nation to whioh it is an honor. The opinions of the English papers upon the result of the Presidential election were not difficult to predict. The enemies of the Union are profoundly disappointed, though journals such as the Morning He rald affect to “ rejoice in the defeat of General McClellan as a prelude to the de feat of the North.” But ail the friends of freedom feel new hope and higher confi dence, and throughout all Eurbpe the cause of tyranny is weakened by.Gm tri umph in America.

THE WAR. GEN. GRANT’S ARMY. IMPORTANT MOVEMENT IN PROGRESS, GENERAL GRANT’S ARMY. AN IMPORTANT MOVEMENT COMMENCED—THU 2d ABB STH CORPS ON THB MaROH TOWARD STONY CBBRK—ENTHUSIASM Off THS MSN— STRENGTH Off OVS AEfflT.'v - City Point, Y*,, Dao. 8,1864. ■ It cannot be contraband now to state thawt move ment of an Important character was commenced upon the left yesterday. On Monday afternoon the sth and 2d Army Corps, commanded by Generals Crawford and Humphreys, reoelved orders to be prepared to move at a moment’s ln stantly a scene of bustle and ln the camps, and the men gave vent to their enthusi asm by dancing, singing, and whistling; for the prospeot of a fight after such long loaotlvlty, was more cheering to their hearts than the news that another feait of turkeys was en route for them eoold possibly have been. .The idea of deserting their oomfortable winter quarters at this variable season of the year, was not quite so palatable to some of the officers, who had become en deared to their eosy little log cabins, and blazing fires in the snug chimney-places; but tbe order had to be obeyed, and one and all began to pack up, with a factitious jest or a lugubrous smile. Tuesday afternoon oame the order to move, and In ten minutes after Its reception the regiments of the 6th Corps were In motion to the rear.. The order directed the two corps to mass between the Halifax and Jerusalem plank roads. These two roads run In the same general direction as the Weldon Railroad, the former being to the left, and tho latter to the right qf It. Here the troops were encamped for tho night, of course without any other protection Irom the weather than their blan kets and overcoats af! or tied. la a little while, how ever, the camp grounds were lit up with hundreds of fires, which, cracking and sparkling amid the eedar boughs, made a brilliant and picturesque scene. As to their destination, the most contradictory opinions were held among officers and men. The favorite idea seemed to he that they were to march down to Savannah, and reinforce Sherman. Others held to tho opinion that Wilmington, N, C., was to be the 11 objective point,” and others talked of Weldon. But all were wrong. Early yesterday morning the men were wakened by a drenching shower of rain, which, extinguishing their camp-fires, made them utterly miserable for a little while, until they stirred about and warmed themselves with exercise. Long before daybreak they took up their line of march, and not towards the South-Side road, where all would have chosen to go, but southward, towards Stony Creek Station. The roads were in a shocking condition, but they made excellent progress, and although the rain fen pitilessly, the ardor of the men seemed to be but little cooled. The apprehensions of. the rebels of another ad vance against Stony Creek, now a vital point to the enemy, have thus been confirmed, and doubtless they have despatched troops to tho threatened point, even before out movement was commenced. The arrival of Early from the Talley has enabled them to do thlß without weakening their JJnes in our front. Meanwhile, our own lines havo not been weaken ed, for the army has been materially reinforced of late, and is to-day, perhaps, as strong as ft ever was. We shall probably learn to-day fully concerning the success of this movement. That It Kill be suc cessful, none here entertain a doubt.

M.—This has been a calm day along-the lings in front of Petersburg. Some little picket firing was indulged on the right of the lines, but the artillery On both sWbs was.rery quiet. ' Considerable activity prevailed in the lines north of the James river, to-day, but the rain storm which set In early this morning seemed to have put a stop xo whatever changes, if any, were Intended. Firing was kept up at Dutch. Gap all day, as usual, but not with such persistency as it was con ducted yesterday. The.Blehmond papers of to-day contain no news from Eastern Georgia or Tennessee. They seem to have anticipated a battle In front of Blchmond for the past two or three days, and have evidently been preparing to resist our advance/ ' December 8,8 o’clock, A.

B.—The Democrat’s Paducah spe cial despatch of the 7th gays that alt the stories about Rasters os the Cumberland river are' ■wholly untrue. The river is clear and unobstructed to Clarksville, to which point the transpoits run without convoy. From Clarksville to Nashville they areconvoyed by-gunboats, there being several rebel batteries between the two points. SKIRMISHING NEAR NASHVILLE—THE BBBHLS DRI VEN BACK TO THEIR OLD LINE—DEPARTURE OF A REBEL BRIGADE TOWARDS MURFREESBORO, Louisville, Dec. 9.—The Journal’s special de spatch from Nashville on the Bth says: “There Is no change In the general situation. Skirmishing continues in the front of the 4th Corps, and the enemy has been driven hack to his old line. Prisoners report that Cheatham eomtoands the rebel right, S. D. Lee the centre, and Stewart the left. They say Lee has four batteries of four guns, each in position. “ A rebel brigade left in the direction of Murfrees boro, hut it is not known whether for foraging or to attack Murfreesboro. “ One of our batteries on Steadman’s front opened this morning, butellcited no reply. “ General T. J. Wood retains command of the 4th Corpß. Couch takes command of a division In the 23d Corps.” A Nashville despatch of this morning to the Jour nal says'tbereds no change In affairs around the city. Burbrldge and his command were at Bean’s Sta tion, la East Tennessee, on the 6 thinet. THE GUNBOATS ENGAGING THE ENEMY—THE REBELS DRIVEN HACK FROM THE RIVER—THE CITY CONSIDERED SAFE. Nashville, Deo. 9 —The weather is very cold. There is nothing new from the front to-day. Thera was some sharp musketry firing in front of the 4th Corps, and several were wounded on both sides. The gunboat fleet went down the river to day, hat no reports have been received save that they en gaged tho enemy some thirty minutes after leaving here. . A heavy storm of snow set In this morning. The rebel lines In our front appear intact, and there are no Indications of their making an attack or of running away. The excitement in town has nearly subsided, and no apprehensions are felt for the safety of the city. - The gunboats went down the river again to-day, to a point where the rebel batteries are located, engaged them, and drove the rebels back from the river j after which they returned to the city. BUBBRIDOB’S MOVEMENT IN EAST TENNESSEE— BRECKINRIDGE COMPELLED TO WITHDRAW,BB YOND BULL’S OAP. Louisvillb, Deo. 9.— General Burbridgo is at Bean’s Station, la Bast Tennessee, and In good spirits. This move of Bnrbridge, on Breckinridge’s flank has compelled the latter to withdraw his entire farce beyond Ball’s Gap, excepting a small cavalry detachment. Vaughn was reported at Chucky Bend with cavalry, and Bushrod Johnson at Jonesboro, but both reports are considered doubtful. SHEIIJUV. REBEL REPORTS—A PLAN OP HIS CAMPAIGN LAID OUT—HIS ARRIVAL AT SATANKAH OH |THB 9TK EXPECTED. 1 Washington, Dee. 9.—lnformat ion received from City Point to-day says that Southern pipers, the dates of which are not given, tut probably the latest, report that Sherman had abandoned the shortest route for Augusta, and appears to be drift ing towards Savannah. He was delaying for the purpose of gatherin'! supplies, while his territorial .range was not too contracted by the operations of Wheeler. The Augusta Conttiluiionaliel thinks that he has not for a moment hesitated as to the point to be at tacked, or the road to It, saying: « The enemy broke camp at Louisville early in the morning of the 2d instant, abandoning the shortest route to Augusta, moving by a new route In the direction of Savan nah.” The Constitutionalist lays out the following cam paign for him, being the most natural and feasible one. Forage and provision trains being full, he .will rasa his entire army to Mlllen; then throwing his cavalry In the rear, he will pnt his wagon trains between the two wings of his army and march In a oompact column steadily hut cautiously- on the city of Savannah; the Ogeechee and Its few crossings and terrible swamps on his right, and the Savan nah river and its equally swampy banks on the left, both flanks will he most securely covered, and thus situated, he has a maroh of something over 80 miles to the city. Travelling at the rate he had averaged since leaving Atlanta, he would reach there by the 9th, provided he Bhould not be cixeoked by the way. ! The Oconte bridge had not been burned, although desperate efforts had been made. The Richmond Enquirer of the 7th reports .that no new movemckVbad bten made la the direction of Grohamsville. The Federal troops engaged con sisted of four regiments of whites and four of blacks. About 1,300 men were found on the field dead and wounded. KENTUCKY.

A despatch dated at Southampton on Thursday evening, November 22, says: “There Is a report that Captain Semmes’ new steamer, the Sea King, has been wrecked off Madeira.” Concerning the pirate lost, we find in the Paris Pays, a rebel organ, some Information which we translate. The Pays says: “It seems certain that Captain Semmes, of the Alabama, Is on board a ship bearing the Confederate flag—a ship which may easily be made a formidable corsair. Captain Semmes left Madeira on the Erurel, with eighty men, most of. them belonging to his old orew. The new ship is called the Sea King. When, where, or how will she be armed 1 No one can tell. But the best is done by the possession of the ship, and It will not be hard lor the captain and his crew to arm her.” A Liverpool paper of Nov. 17th says: “We re ceived yesterday a letter from a part of tho orew of the Sea-King, who .came to England on the Cala bar, just arrived from the coast of Afrioa and Ma deira. Tils letter Informs ns that the Sea-King Is now called the Shenandoah, and that Captain Semmes was to take command of her. These men add that the Sea-King bad raised the Confederate flag, and thatone of them had been offered eighteen pounds sterling a month if he would join her.” Beports from Halifax have stated that the new pirate was to be commanded, not by Cspt. Sfcnmcs, but by Lieut. Waddell. THE BLOOKADE AND BRITISH OffSTCSRS. The London Arsny and Navy Gazelle says: “In consequence of the recent "capture by a Federal cruiser of a distinguished officer of her Majesty’s navy, while in command of a blockade ruanar, Mr. Seward addressed representations through Loid Lyons to her Majesty’s Government, which have led to a stringent-order on the subject. Tae Admiralty have caused it to be notified to the officers engaged in the exciting and frequently profitable pursuit of commerce by blockade-run ning, that they cannot countenance such an employment of .their vacant hours,- Although all the officers referred to are on half nay, It was plainly most unbecoming for them, as Song as they drew even half pay, to engage In aots which subjected thorn to palss and penalties at the hands of the authorities of a friendly State, while they were' at the same time treating with contempt the Queen's proclamation of neutrality, whioh, binding on all good subjects, had especial claims to observance ■om officers in her Majesty’s pay.” THE ELORIDA AND MR. WEBB’S LETTER. The Times says: "It is fortunate for the peaoo of the world that the English nation is not easily moved by un seemly language, but, .content with resistance to actual wrong, permits words, however offensive, to pats by without regard. HappUy our steady re solve to abstain from interference ln-the affairs of an agitated continent will never bo weakened oy any taunts or invectives coming from Americans, how ever highly placed. For this reason we may regard the answer of Mr. Watson Webb, tha Hatred - States minister at Kio Janeiro, to the Brazilian Go vernment, lq the affair of the Florida, as a matter of not the slightest political importance, and as only EE&wing the temper in which certain men repre senting the most powerful section of Amerioa are acoustomed to think and talk of us. The capture of the Florida in Bahia harbor was an outrage for which no ability oonia find a justification; the wrongwaffbogross.and palpable that Mr. Webb could not hut lepudiate complicity in it.” DANISH AFFAIRS. The King of Denmark has Issued the following proclamation releasing the people of the ceded duchies from their allegiance to the Danish crown: “We, Christian IX., by God’s grace King'of Denmark, &a., announce that by the treaty of peace, signed at Vienna on the 3oth of last month, we have renounced, In favor of their Majesties the Emperor of Austria and the King of Prussia, all our rights- to the duohies of Lauenburg and Hol stein, and to the duohy of Schleswig south of the boundary line more precisely laid down In article 6 of the treaty, with the exception, however, of the Island of ACroe, as well as of the Jutland en claves, situated to the south of the same line upon the continent and upon the Islands, Inclusive ot the island of Amrom. As we have promised, In confor mity with tho aforesaid treaty, we now release, by this our present proclamation, the inhabitants of all the territories thus ceded, In general and in par ticular, from the fidelity, as subjects, they owe to ns, as well as from the oath of allegiance each has specially taken to our person, whether he be civilian or in military service, clergyman or layman. “Given et-our capital of Copenhagen this 16th day ot November, 1864, under onr royal hand and seal. “Christian H. “Bluhmn.” Another proclamation from the Kingcontalns this mournful passage: “It became, therefore, our hard fate to conclude a peace which annihilated the brightest hopes with which we received the crown—to preserve It entire and uninjured as It has been worn for centuries by the Danish royal house. It became our sad fate to tee the monarchy divided, and the Country which, had formed part of the ancient Danish realm from time immemorial, and which a thousand years of battle had not been able to tear from it,'separated from us. But the hardest trial of all to us hsa been to know that portions of the kingdom itself, and the largest portion of that population In Schleswig which beiongß to Denmark by heart andby language, have been compelled to see themselves severedfrom tho mother country and race.” The King and Queen will visit Jutland after the evacuation is completed. THE FRENCH BUDGET. The Paris Honileur says the ordinary budget Is now before the Connell of State ; the extraordinary budget will be forthcoming later. There are rumors on the Bourse that a public loan will soon be Introduced; ITALY. The proposal to transfer the capital to Naples has been vetoed. The bill for the transfer of the capital to Florence was passed by a vote of 137 to 77- The entire financial bill was agreed to by 137 to 77.

The I-owlon Moming Star says of the re-eleotlon of Mr. Lincoln: “ we hall the result, mainly because It Is a triumph of the anti-slavery principles which the English peo ple have long professed, and which have now been proclaimed by a popular vote to be the only princi ples upon which the Government of the United States can be conducted. * * “ Mr. Lincoln has been eleoted by a party which declares that slavery shall be extir pated, and they have returned to Congress the requisite tub-thirds . majority to carry the, proposed amendment of the Constitution pro hibiting slavery forever on the sou of the United States. The war must now oontluue, as it would have done under the Presidency of Mc- Clellan, but for' higher and nobler purposes. It Is for no mere perpetuation or restoration of the Union, with all the enormities of slave-breeding, slave-trading, and slave labor which formerly shocked humanity. Tho rebellion will, doubtless, he subdued, and In place of the fire and sword which usually follow m the track of conquest, the South will gam the bleselngs of free labor, the crack of the slavedrlver’s whip will cease throughout the land, and under the benign influence of completed emancipation the Southern people will reap a pros perity of which they had scarcely dared to dream. “ Even for results so conspicuously great as these the Northern freemen would not have been justified in drawing the sword In an aggressive war, but since the South chose the weapon and the combat, and&ought to trample under foot alike the constitu tional rights and to destroy the mast cherished pri vileges of the people of the North, they would have been false to themselves and humanity had they Bot resolved to' smite slavery—that master spirit of c ivi) discord and social wrong—to the earth, so that the Republic might never more be.subject to its ma lignant Influence. “Mr. Lincoln has undoubtedly deserved well of his country. Pew men could have grasped the helm with so firm a grasp during a civil confliot so appal ling as that whloh now rages. He Is, It Is true, neither distinguished by hereditary descent, nor by personal accomplishments; he was albargeman and a day laborer, and slowly rose to be a provincial lawver by dtot of those qualities of perseveranae and Clearness of intellect which have been consptou ouEly displayed during the last four years. He has been .caricatured In this country by pen ana pencil In a style reflecting disgrace, enough upon the cari caturists, but which has failed to shake the popular belief In the thorough honesty of his character, the sincerity of his love of freedom, and the humanity oi his disposition. “ His policy towards this country has been cha racterized by the utmost frankness and the strong est desire for peace, and no statesman worthy of con ducting the affairs of this country but must be convinoed that our best allies ou the American continent are men professing the principles whloh Abraham' Lincoln avows, and In oonaonauoe with which he has hitherto directed the foreign policy of Morning Herald (Tory) Is grieved.

He owes his re election to the strength x> blB . t P ar{ i? a °d to his own lawless abuse of BxecuUve power, not to the belief of the people that .P® better man could have been chosen, or that he deserves the distinction of a second term of office. His predecessors were aentlemen; men of experience either in military, diplomatic, or political life j men at least of.averai?e lateltlgenae and of unquestioned pertonal integrity ;yet they were tliouglit, and rightly thought, not to have merited re*eleotlon. Mr. Lincoln Is a vulgar, bratal tK»or j wholly ignorant of political solace, of military affairs, of everythin? else which a statesman should know. He Iras not connived at jecolatlon ; but he has allowed the public to be robbed to an l&dpftolie extent by his mlnliters, he has sMelded them from punishment, continued them In office, and In the only ease in which the scandal was too bad to be hushed up at home he appointed the guilty party to a first-class esnbissy. * * * “ For our own part, we rejoice in the defeat of General MoOlellun as a pratude to the defeat of the North. We rejoice that the erase of oppression, robbery, and injustice is entrusted to the hands of a vaselllatinir, helpless imbaolle rotl-er than to -those of an able, re&olute, and efficient soldier. Nor do we think that the hopes of peace have been seriously impaired by Mr. Lincoln's success. Peace depends not. on the wishes of a' man, but on the disposition- of the nation. So long as the. North was resolute ih the prosecution of the war, neither General MoOlellan nor even Mr. VaUandtghaui could have made peace So soon as the North shall be heartily sick of the war, convinced that victory is Impossible, and eager for a compromise even on the basis of Southern Independence, peace will have bscoms necessary to Mr. Lincoln, and could not be' long delayed even by. a Sumner or a Brownlow. We believe that nothing could tend more strongly to brink about such a state of things as will -effec tually discourage the war party, and disoose the North to a bandon Its hopeless enterprise, than the continuance of Mr, Liooolu's rule: and in that, be lief we ball his re-election as an event of excellent augury for the Interests of the South and of man kind." 4'omnierclsl Intelligence. /HKW Y#BK CITY.

A charge of larceny of drawers, snlrts, &0., was preferred against him. There was a considerable . mass of evidence elicited, from whioh it would ap pear that the managers of the organization nad not for several months past been very attentive to their duties, and the bulk of the business fell upon de fendant. - He, it seems, claimed to be a manager, janitor, lessee of the roem&t 515 Chestnut street, tie. On a recent occasion the president and seore tary, upon , wishing to go into the room, were, as Is alleged, resisted by the defendant. He seized a pair of Isygc-ticed shears, and pacing somewhat frantically up and down the room, threatened to kill them, and, In fact,-did make a thrust at the officers. The secretary received a slight cut on one of his fingers. Subsequently he was arrested, and a search warrant being Issued, quite a large bundle of drawers and shtrta were traced to his possession. A considerable amount of money in bank to his credit was also taken posses sion of. In his defence he avers the clothing was given to him for his own private use, and not for the soldiers. It Is said that a woman was found In the room of the association, and quite a of empty bottles,labelled blackberry wine, were disco vered In‘‘nooks and oorners.” There was no evi dence elicited whether this wine was given to the soldiers. The defendant was bonnd over in the sum of *6OO to answer at court. [Before Mr. Alderman WMfe. 1 ALLEGED BOBBEKY. Robert Allison, a resident of Camden, N. J., was arraigned yesterday afternoon on the charge of rob bing Patrick Barr of a pocket-book containing the sum of fourteen dollars. The evidence upon which the charge was preferred may be summed up as fol lows ; On the night of Noyembar 7 Mr. Barr made Ms appearance in a tavern near Front and Spruce streets. He became somewhat drunk. In order to save Ms money he handed It to the proprietor of the place for safe keeping. Allison came In shortly after this, and stated that he was an intimate friend of Barr, and wanted Ms money him, as It would be perfectly safe. The proprietor refused to give the money to Allison, but handed it to Barr. The two then started away. Mr. Barr testified that, after walking a short distance, Allison told Mm to stop In the street for a few moments. He did so,- and Ms pretended friend did not return. He had taken the pocket-book and money with him. A few days since the alleged pnrlolnerwas found at his re sidence, In Camden, and admitted that he had expended the money. The proper legal papers hav ing been Issued, he was arrested by Constable Bor dou, who brought Mm to Philadelphia, yesterday afternoon. The accused was committed to answer. [Before Hr. Recorder Eneu. ] ALLEGED FORGERY. Henry W.Gault was arraigned yesterday on the charge of having altered a promissory note of $l4O, drawn by Win. Nuttall, bearing date of September 27tb, 1861, The words alleged to have been added to . the note, after having been signed are these; “ With the release of the $BOO law." Mr. Nuttall testified positively .that he never signed the note as it now reads 5 he la very certain that he never sgreed to the release of the $3OO law. The handwriting of the note was carefully ex amined through the medium of a magnifying glass of considerable power. The opinion of the examiners' was that rite person who drew the note had made the addition, using the same Ink, hut a different Sen. The principal witness testified that Mr. Gault rew the note In his own office. The aooused was held to ball in the sum of $6OO to answer. PARTIES DIBCHABGED. The parties arrested on Wednesday night In the vicinity of Eighth and Arch streets, on suspicion of passing, or attempting, to pass, counterfeit money, were discharged. It was ascertained that the nates ftund upon them weie genuine. The prisoners were locked up during the night, but the fact Of having concealed deadly weapons about them prevented a prosecution againßt the officer for false arrest ‘and imprisonment.
