THURSDAY, JANUARY IS, 1865.'
QIBBS’
The nineteenth number, commencing the tenth
volume of this able and popular Revtew.ls.unusu.
ally rich In blograpMoal articles, each Illustrating
a particular phase of publlo or literary history.
Thus, “Pericles and his Times” treats of the great
Athenian, {495-429 B* G.,) who so long and so ably
ruled In his native land, making Athens the shrine
or letters, painting, sculpture, and architecture, no
less than of arms and political .freedom—that Peri
cles, who, in a long public life, was only onoe
unpopular with his countrymen, and that for
tho briefest time, while at ills death he truly
boasted that not a citizen or Athens hM ' ever
been obliged to put on mourning on his account.;
Thus, theartloieon “Leo X. and his Times” not
only relates the leading events In the oaroer of that
popular Medici, but Introduces orltlcal aketch.es of
the Illustrious men, authors and. artists, who
flourished during his reign. Leo. born In 1475. was
only forty.six at his death. In 1521, but great men
lived In his;,time and under his patronage Suoh
were Leonardo da Ylnol the painter Bramahte,
the first architect of St. Peters: Bandello. the rival
of Boooaccio; Vida, the Latin poet, the Virgil of
bls'age; Ariosto, the poet; Guicciardini, the histo
rian of Italy; Michael Angelo and Raphael; Oar.
dlnala Betobo and least understood
of all these, the crafty MaoMavelii. Thus, too, car
rying on our notice m Chronological order, wo have
the notice of Lope de Vega and Spanish literature,
-01 that productive writer who actually wrote 1800
dramatic compositions and 401 autos. Born In 1502,
he died In 1037, to the. seventy-third year of his
age. No notice of Lope de Vega that we have
read has made us so well acquainted wlththe vast
ness of his labors and the oharaeter of his produc
tions as this. The reviewer has'glve'n copious ex
tracts, to the Castilian, from his writings, aocoih
panytog each with a translation, faithful and
spirited. ThVaoeount of Lope de Vegaj we should
have stated, is prefaced by a discussion on tho causes
of the decline of literature and soienee to Spain,
among which, lie contends, the religion or that
country must not be numbered:
“it is not sufficient to oompare Spain with Ger
many, England, and America; It should also be,
compared with Denmark, Sweden, and Holland. If
this were carefully and intelligently done, It would'
afford no evidence that religion has anything, to do
with the phenomenon under consideration. Still
less evidence would beafforded were Spain compared
with Prance, Belgium, and Austria. What Pro
testant countries exhibit more totelleotual activity,'
or mere intellectual vigor, than these 1
“Now, If Catholicism does not stunt the French, -
Belgian, op Austrian Intellect, bv what process of
logic can It be said to stunt the. Spanish Intellect 7
But wHat was the religion Of Spain to the golden
age of Its literature] Were not the Spaniards'
Catholics then as well as now 7 Its greatest writers
were not only Catholics, but ecclesiastics. This is.
true both of Lope ! de Vega and Calderon; and if
Cervantes was not an ecclesiastic,he was-at least a
monk. Nay, the-most renowned Spanish authors
were-familiars of the Inquisition. If wo make
another comparison or two, we shall see still more
plainly how absurd it Is to make the intellectual
vigor or activity of a people'depend on their theo
logical opinions. It can hardly be pretended:that
either the Greeks or Homans were Protestants i
but what Protestant nations have produced more
sublime gestures ? 'At no time' were the Greeks
more superstitious than when Homer wrote; the
poet himself was not altogether free from that feel
ing ; but that did not prevent him lrom surpassing
all others, Including our Protestant and Puritani
cal Milton, undoubtedly great and sublime as the
author ol > Paradise Lost’ is.”
Luther, Calvin, and Melanothon were originally
Catholics, but their religion clearly did not stunt
their intellect. Lastly, here is a biographical sketch
of the late Chief Justice Taney, bom In March,
1777, and dead to October, 18SS. This memoir evi
dently emanates from a lawyer, who Is also a poli
tician If not a statesman. We have no hesftatfon
to accrediting the articles on Perloles and Lope de
Yoga to the pen ofDr. Edward I. Sears, editor of
the National Quarterly Review, We do not know any
other writer of review articles so capable of treating
Greek and Spanish subjects with equal ability. In
former numberß, the articles on Aristophanes and
the Men And Worried of Homer, showed Hr. Sears’.
Intimate familiarity with the subject, and he has
also discussed thePoettoal Literature of Spain amp
the Saracenic Literature ef Spain to the most ex*
haustlve manner. The article on Leo X. Is able,
but we should hesitate to affiliate It .upon the same
‘mind. Other papers here are "The Civilizing
Forces” and “Chemical Analysis by Spectral Ob
servations whioh have not much inte
rest for us. The only, political dtsqjdsltion here,
upon the Presidents Message, Is not over friendly
to Mr. Lincoln’s policy, but strongly says: .
“ We have never uttered a word to favor of seces
sion, but have always spoken against it, beoause we
hold that it is as much the natural right of a nation
to protect itseir from dismemberment as It is that of
an Individual to protect the members of his body

Inimical to each other, might we not have in a few

years, than to run the risk of half a dozen wars at
once, some of which would he likely to be intermi

It (perorates in an emphatic) manner, too, (haring
previously said, “ Never did the sympathizers with
the rebellion speak out more boldly than they do at
the present moment. There is at least one dally
journal in New York which is as much In the in.
terestof Jefferson Davis as if it were published at
Richmond, and patronized by the rebel Govern
ment ; but it is allowed to utter its treason daily
without any attempt being made to suppress it, or
to Incarcerate its editors and publishers,”) and, in
reference to Mr. Lincoln’s declaration “ that the
war will cease on the part of the'Government when
ever it shall have ceased on the part of those who
began it,” says: •
« For the rest, we hope the rebels may be induced
to accept the terms offered. It seems to us that it
would be their own interest quite as much as that of
the North to put an end to the horrors of war by
simply laying down their arms, especially as there
can be little doabt that they will have to do so even
tually. Not, Indeed, because they are wanting in
courage or bravery; none,could have displayed
more heroism than they; buMheir resources in men
and money—in alltbat is essential for carrying on a
protracted war, being confessedly so muoh less than
those of the North, they must necessarily beoome
exhausted In time. And none can admit this with
out mho admitting that the sooner they put an end
to the war the better. Lewis hope, for the sake of
North and South alike, that the success of General
Sherman, now before Savannah, may be suoh as to
convince the bravest and most desperate that, any
further resistance to the power of the inexhaustible
and resolute North can only result in disaster and
ruin to themselves.”
This Is plain speaking, and simple truth.
The briefer Notices and Criticisms, at the close of
tide Review, upon the various publications of the
preceding three months, are as worthy of perusal as
the more important articles, because they are criti

censure or commendation.
EOLLOWINO A SPIBITnAL IMPRESSION —TIIRBB
Wo have-read the following In the guise of ro
mance, but never in the guise of reality Utt which
it is now presented by the Boston Courier, It seems,
according to that journal, that two children belong
ing to Mr. John B. Nichols, of Haverhill, and' the
servant girl living;ln the family had a,' very narrow
'escape from death by gas suffocation, on Monday
evening, December 20th. Mr. and Mrs. Nichols
left the family in the early part of-the ; evening to
attend the silver wedding of a friend,-resident seve
ral miles distant.. They Intended to remain until
rather a late hour, and gave directions to the
children to retire at the usual time. They, how
ever, subsequently gave consent that they might
remain up and await their return. At about ,half
past-nine the parents felt an irresistible desire to
return home, and accordingly Btarted at once.
Upon reaching the dwelling, they go* no
response to their endeavors to enter; the ring
ing of the bell was not promptly answered. By
stooping they ware enabled to look In through a
crevice in the window by the curtain, and they saw
the servant girl making attempts to reach the dooj > .
but prevented 1 by constant falling. The little girl
also was prostrate.upon the floor, an( / the other ap
peared to be asleep upon a sofa. After a short time,
they succeeded In getting-back the door bolt; the
servant and eldest girl falling helpless by the door,
prevented them from entering for some time- The
odor of coal gas in .the room and throughout the
house 'explained the cause of the frightful con
dition of things. It required a long gme to
bring abont complete recovery. It was attended
by severe pain and vomiting, and it is certain
that if the return of the parents had been de
layed a few minutes longer the death of the three
persons must have ensued. The gas proceeded from
a coal stove in the room, the damper of which in
some way became disarranged, and the products of
combustion were turned from the proper channel.
What makes this circumstance quite remarkable is
the fact that the house in whion It occurred is the
very one in which Mr. and Mrs. William Sawyer
lost their lives, by gas suffocation, four years slnoe.
It will be remembered! that Mr. and Mrs. Sawyer
were found dead in their beds apparently In the
position In which they closed them eyes in sleep.
Mr. S. was long connected with the Boston and
Maine Railroad, and was extensively known. The
sad event created much excltementat the time. A
kind Providence interposed and saved three persons

was wretched In the extreme. Among the number)

Petroleum Explosions A petroleum distiller
writes: There are two principal causes of the
many aeoldeuts which have ocourred in' the explo
sions of coal oil. The first arises from the ignorance
or want of care in the person having charge of the
lamps. It is indispensable, in filling the lamp, to
leave a sufficient space Tor the dil&uon or expansion
of the fluid wMoh is necessarily produced by the
heat oi the rooms, and by the oombostlon of the 'oil
In the lamp. It can be easily understood that the
oil, under these circumstances, having increased its
volume, may occasion an explosion, especially If
the lamp is cracked or has any other flaw or de
fect.
The second cause of an explosion is owing to the
intentional admixture of benzine with the oil. It
oan be easily ascertained without an instrument- if
the oil contains benzine. By pouring Into a cup or’

one who attended him in his journey, that the gal
lant Colonel has, within the last three days, reached
a place of safety anf repose; WHis--situation on the

The most Interesting newi if; the day Is brought
us by the Northern papers, s idis the announcement
that Butler’s much taikeu-o Hatch Gap Canal has
•at length been completed he importance of this
hews remains to be seon. 1 lit is a success, that is,
if it admits the passage thrwgh-It of the. Yankee
fleet, It is an important andjffiefnl work to the ene
my, inasmuch as it puts theisabout six miles nearer

obliged to make tho trip ofsunu Farrar’s Island,
which Is the name of the peftpsula of wMch Dutch

float the monitors comfortably. it is yet to be tested
whether our batteries on the south side of James

Concerning the expedition against Wilmington
the Whig makes the folio wit g remarks:
The Wilmington expedition famished not mnoh
of glory to the Yankees, It did not even give them
a pretext for their ohronloqfeur dejoie and pyro
teclinlcal displays. Salutes and fireworks In super
abundant profusion celebrated the bloodless oapture
of the useless port of Savannah; but this was a poor
compensation for the failure to take the valuable
'port of Wilmington. lit spite of all tbelr vauntings
of recent.problematical successes, and vaticinations
of imminent chlmerlaal conquests, they cannot
conceal the chagrin Inspired by the miscarriage of.
what was intended to he the grandest expedition
and the most magnificent triumph of the war. It
is natural enough that mortification should be pro
duced by at fiasco so palpable and so lamentable.
The disappointment at the defeat must be In the dl
reot ratio of the anticipations of victory. The pre
liminary exaltation Is a fair measure of the subse
quent depression; But'wej'Who did nahnartlfflpate
in the former, cannot bejJKpeetedto share
latter; 'We oaffiSilv, in common with the rest of
the worm, enjoy.-tisSluaiotßnHness of the speetacle,
and laugh at thejnelanohoiy discomfiture which has
overtaken quraangulnaamijjtaotatlous Yankee bro
thers. In fact, as a specimen of anti climax, this
whole affair surpasses anything else in that line
that the Inventive genius of the Yankees has offered
us during the war. Ic can be aptly Illustrated by
the story of that famous King of France, who, with
his twenty thousand men, marched up the hill, and
then marched down again, or of le Grand Boi Dago
bert, gui a misses culoites a Delivers, or by that “pious
hawker of Constantinople, who dlurnally perambu
lated the thoroughfares of the metropolis, vooifera
ting ‘ln the name Of the prophet, Figs!’ ” in eaoh
of which cases the Insignificance of the con
clusion is so remarkable a commentary on the mage
plficorce of the commencement. But the issue of
the Wilmington expedition offers a contrast still
more Btriking'with the magnitude of the prepara
tions which preceded and the extravagance of the
pretensions which accompanied it. The attack on
Fort Sumpter by Dupont’s fleet, last year, was
probably the greatest naval effort which had, up to
that time, beenmade. But its failure waß concealed
by calling it a mere experiment, and the withdrawal
of the vessels was not attended with those ludicrous
and Inconsequential military, manoeuvres which
have the effect of a reiuclio.ad absurdum on the '
Porter-Butler attempt. Indeed, It Is hard to say
whether the naval or the military branch of this Ill
fated enterprise has the greater claim to be'con
sidered a laughing stook for disinterested spec
tators, or which one is nearer right in the
contnmely and abuse It heaps oil. the other.
Porter asserts that his fire was so terrific that
It Immediately silenced the guns of the fort;
and we know, in fact, that it surpassed any
thing of the kind ever before rained on a .defenslve
work. The valiant Admiral, therefore, very natu
rally supposed that Bailer’s soldiers' would have
nothing to do but to walk Into an abandoned and
shattered work. But Butler’s soldiers thonght
quite differently; and Butler himself, under the
suggestion of Gen. .Weltzel, came to the -conclusion
that the Yankees might as well walk into the gates
of Aversut its Into those Imminent deadly breaches
of Fort Fisher. From Porter’s report one would
Imagine that the forraad beeit entirely knocked to
pieces, and was incapable of resisting even a demon
stration. Butßutler says it, was unimpaired as'a
defensive work Hence, from-the military point of
view, the navy-had worully failed to carry out Its
part of the programme, which consisted in reducing
the fort to a comparatively unresisting oondltlon.
But, on the other side, Butler relates, with an Mr,
of pride, how his brave skirmishers went straight up
to the deserted parapets, and how a valorous officer
captured a flag,-and s venturesome eoporal killed a
rebel orderly and bagged his despatches. -
THE. CABTUBB OB THB WTTHEVILMS SAIT WOBKS
AND LEAD MIKES;
A correspondent oi the Whig, writing front near
Bristol, Tehn., on the 27th ult., gives details of
Stoneman’straid through East Tennessee and South,
western Virginia. He asserts th ™ the success of
the expedition was dpe entirety to the fatal delusion
that the position assumed by the enemy was for the"
protection of tke tranßportation of their atom from
East Tennessee to, .Kentucky. Persons passing
through Chi lines .confirmed the false impression.
This information was communicated to. General
Breckinridge more than once by General Vaughn,
who was in comma.,! ;f the cavalry on the front in
East Tennessee. But this delusion was soon eor-.
rested by a despatch received by General Vaughn
from his scouts, on the morning of the 14th, to the
effect that GiHem’S: gommand had leit camp, near
Knoxville, instant, anil;had passed
Bean’s Station, robe east, in the direction of Ro
gereville, and that Burbridge was to follow. This
information was. derived from a prisoner captured
by the scoots, who belonged to the 9th Tennessee
Federal Cavalry. His eommandiwas immediately
-putin motion, anu by,B o’clock In the morning (the
despatch waOcijtaW p 2) the whole command
passed through JonOeborO, Here a largo quantity
of supplies and ammuniffon was stored The com
mand pasted throughthetown, and a train wasleft
to take away the stores. The train, unfortunately,
was capture^,but] tse soldiers guatdlng it escaped.
Vaughn' then retreated to Zollicoffer, followed
by 2,000 of the Yankee cavalry, hut this force we
managed to avoid. -He directed h]s march towards
Abingdon, but finding this place also occupied by
our forces he took the Seven-mlle-ford road to Glade
Springs, which was found to.be also occupied by the
Yankees. To keep the road was the only alterna
tive. After-much hard marching our column ar
rived wltbin six miles of the ford, bnt on gaining
the summit of the high hills the Yankee camp fires
were distinctly visible, but two miles distant. Ar
riving- st Marion,‘ Vaughn divided his force, taking
some jour hundred myn himself, and followed the
raiders, the citizens representing that they had been
gone only some'two hours, that they were. in camp
only two miles from town, and that half of them
were drunk.- 001, Gillespie, with the remainder of
tte ccminand, wao ordered to move, with the artil
lery, back some few miles on the pike, in the direc
tion of Wytheville, and go into camp. Just hs the
command was getting ready for the movement in
formation was received that'the enemy word near
town, and that the pickptshad beenent ofl.'and that
there was nothing between the command and the
enemy’s advance. Fortunately, the Ist Tennessee
Cavalry, Lieut. 001. Bean commanding, waßjust
returning bom a scout, sent out to meet and
check the enemy until the remainder of the ea
valry and artillery could move through the town
and take position on the pike, east of the
place. This regiment had not passed beyond the
western limits of the town before the enemy’s
column charged Col. Bean, driving him In some con
fusion back on tho column In charge of the artil
lery. He rallied a portion of his command, charged
tpem In turn, and wak killed in a hand-to-hand fight
with a Federal officer. The latter was mortally
wounded, and. survived the Colonel but a few
minutes. By this bold dash of the enemy one regi
ment was out off bom the oolumn; the remainder
taking position, aSi before Indicated, oheokedthe
. enemy. A severeengagement lollowed, lasting for
some two hours, In which several gallant soldiers of
our cavalry were killed and wounded. The enemy
suffered severely, as ’ they-showed no disposition to
follow for some three} hours, until their entire com
mand came np. Colonel Gillespie continued to fall
back until in the vicinity of Mount Airy, where he
haliod for an hour or longer, feeding,.&o. The ene
my made their appearance in force, and moved np
with much spirit to -the attack. Colonel Gillespie
had but some three hundred men and four pieces
or artillery, -the horses of which were exhausted,
having marched, since the morning of the 14th,
day and night. This was the 17th, ten o’clock A. M.
The horses of the cavalry were but little better than
these oi the artillery. /The horses abandoned along
the road gave sufficient evidence to the enemy of
, the exhausted condition of the stock. At the same
I time they knew that the force could not be strong,
Fas the command bad been divided at Marlon. The

with as much spirit as the nature of the (ground
would admit.vTwo miles east of Mount Airy they

view of the pike lor some, distance. No safe posl

Wythevflie. This the enemy could see, and also
that the support would be unable to withstand
their oojomn. our skirmish lines were driven in
from the flankß to the pike, When a grand charge
was made by the enemy, resulting in the rout
of our cavalry. A running fight was kept up-to
within two miles of Wythevllle, where they made a
halt for a few minutes. In tMs oharge they can
tured four pieces of artHlery, two of which had born
captured from Glllem. The officer in oharge of tho •
artillery showed no disposition to abandon Ms
guns, but, with Ms brave lieutenants and men, fired
their pieces into the enemy ’s charging columns until
they were wltMn a few paces of- them. The officers
and men of this battery displayed admirable Intre
pidity in the.defence of tholrguns. Lieut. Butler
was seriously wounded by a sabre cut across the
head, and captured, but subsequently paroled. He
and Lieut. McCamel deserve much praise for the
gallant manner to wMehthey supported the oM
valrous Lynch in tho defence of the battery. Vol.
Bradford, who had oharge of the'cavalry after the
.engagement, commenced, did ail that an officer
could to avert tbe result of the engagement, bat it
was inevitable.
The cavalry retreated tbrongh Wythevnie, the
Yankees taking possession of the place, and Vaughn,
dlscovertog.theirdefeat, was forcedtofhe lead mines’
Durlng-this time General Breoktorldge, as soon as
he .found that Stoneman had passed up tbe railroad,
came out from the salt works, where he had con
centrated Ms force, and moved on Ms rear. Near
Marlon he met Mm returning from Wythevllle,
when a severe engagement followed, lasting fbr
several hours. The enemy finally threw, a heavy
column to General Bieekinrldge’B rear, forcing him
to abandon Ms position. He retired to good order
and took position at Mount Airy. The enemy re
mained at Marlon for about two days. Finding
* that General Breckinridge, on leaving the saltworks,
■ carried with Mm Ml the fames but alow reserves, the
enemy at once moved to attack the latter and Min
--the Tong coveted prize—tho salt depot of the “rebel
’Government-.” In this they were successful. They
*. demolished the machinery and buildings, and drop
ped railroad Iron to the well, wMoh, it is .said, can
not be drawn out. The depot and public buildings
. were burned at Abingdon, by Stoneman’s order.
Some prllrate buildingß were destroyed, but this
wbb done by stragglers ln the rear of the army, who
formerly lived ln the plaoo, and who wished to gra
tify their malice by burning the town. The depots
at Glade Springs, Marion, and Wythevllle wore
bn mt, with sniffi public buildingß aswere used by the
Government.' At Glade Springs, a train of oars and
engine Were captured; at SMtville two others. Consi
derable quantity ol ordnance stores fell Into their
hands at Wythevllle, Inducing three pieces of artil
lery. Large numbers of fine horses and males word
captured to the country, from citizens zefugeetog.
The largest portion of the fine stock in the country,
west of Wythevllle, and east of tMs plaoe,-was col
lected by Stc-neman. The rapidity with wMch he
moved enabled him to capture all the stock that the citi
zens were running before him. The whole country
woe taken by surprise. When he oame to tMs place
he captured the telegraph operator, and forced Mm
to give the “words,” or “cMls” Tor the different
offices along the entire line. He Is said, by this
means, to have telegraphed to Gen. Breckinridge
and obtained all the information he desired. His
advance on Abingdon and .Glade Springs was a
complete surprise. The damage done the railroad
Is serious, and will require some time to repair
It. All the bridges of any importance are destroyo d.
Every inducement was offered our soldiers cap
tured to take tbe amnesty oath and go North.
Transportation to any Northern State or to Cali
fornia was offered. Glllem visited the prisoners to
prison, and looked after their wants.' TMs was only
done for effect. Stoneman’s associations with the
citizens are represented as being of a kind and
lenient character. Biirbrldge is said to have boon
bigoted and vain. As to the defence of this depart
ment against Stoneman’s raid the force was Inade
quate. It Is hoped that tho Administration may
yet appreciate the importance of the defence of this
department, and look to the seonrlty of that section
of Virginia from whence proportion of two
of the most Important staples lor tho prosecution of

.JUDICIAL JJUCIBION—THE JUBISOTCTIOK OF
The following is a report of the proceedings in
Montreal, on the 7th Instant, In the case of the St.
Albans raiders, reversing Judge Coursol’s decision:
“ The judgment was given by Judge Smith at
great length, the following being his Honor’s de
cision: That the 24th victoria was merely an
amending act to the 12th Yictoria, cap. 18, and
simply substituted one mode of procedure for an
other ; that power was expressly given the Legisla
ture of Canada to legislate on the subject by the
6th and 7th Victoria, cap. 76 of the imperial Parlia
ment ; that the power given to legislate necessarily
Implied a right to amend; that the provincial
statute, having received the royal assent, became
law, and is binding; that it had not the effect of re
viving the Imperjalstatute 6th and 7th Vlotorla:
that the only, law In force in his Province Is the
24th Victoria; and that consequently this warrant.
Issued under the authority of that law, is legal to
all Intents and purposes. He might say he had
never had any aoubt upon the subject.
“ The reading of the decision was listened to' with
absorbing interest, and the result received without
demonstration of any kind. '
“Mr. Kerr, for the defence, then raised the point
Whether the crime of robbery, of which the prisoners
stood charged, and which was an offence recognized
by the courts of the State of Vermont alone, eonld
he made a subject for the Federal authorities to
claim the extradition of the prisoners, ' He-argued
'the point at some length.
“Mr. Devlin replied for the prosecution, citing
the case of Holmes, who, being charged with the
crime of murder, had fled to Vermont irom Canada,
and waß demanded under the provisions of the ex
tradition treaty.
“ Mr. Bethune, also for the pros tended
ft was a remedial aarnr
supply what was-wantlng to the carrying out of the
treaty. The language of the statute was ‘within
the jurisdiction,’ the same pbrase as was used lu the
treaty. He quoted Vattel to show that statutes en
acted for the Carrying outof. treaties should be In
terpreted by the meaning of the treaties.
“Mr. Kerr, for the defence, contended that when
a Government could not take Immediate cognizance
of a crime, the crime was not, legally speaking, com
mitted within the jurisdiction or such Government,
the jurisdiction of a oountry only extending over its
sphere of legislation. He also m aintained that the
Congress of the United States, being national, did
not legislate for crimes on land which was the terri
tory of the Individual States.
“ The judge said that by foreign nations the gene
ral Federal Government was alone dealt with and
recognized. The principles that had been laid down
by counsel, although admissible in themselves, had
been pushed too far; The jurisdiction of the Gene
ral Government as the supreme authority must In
clude the whole of the local jurisdiction.
“Mr. Laflamme, for the defence, urged the point
as to the existence of two distinct jurisdictions In
the United States—the general and the local. -If,
then, there was a separate jurisdiction In the indi
vidual States, the ease against the prisoners could
not be sustained according to the provincial statute,
which said that extradition should be granted fbr
offences committed within the. jurisdiction of
the United States or of any snob States.
These two jurisdictions were 'acknowledged by
one of our extraditionary statutes, hut In a ' sub
sequent statute the jurisdiction of the Individual
State haUeen omitted. Thus, because of this omis
sion, could be granted except for the
United States jurisdiction. Mr. Laflamme conti
nued this line of argument at some length, and al
luded to the effeot in this country of fear of the Uni
ted States, which has caused a strong influence to
be brought to bear npon the decision of this case.
He also spoke, in connection with this toplo, of the
visit of the Attorney General East to Washington
as unworthy the dignity of his position. There was
some applanse at the eonoloslonof hlsspeech,which
wasproropUy.suppressed by the court.
“The, judge then stated that the various argu

his consideration, and that he would take the case
into deliberation till Tuesday morning, when deci

[From the Buffalo Express, Jan. 7.1
Collector Metz received oirouiars from the State
and Treasury Departments at Washington, yester
day, relative to the regulations of the passport sys
tem, by giving publicity to which wo shall furnish
interested persons with all the information upon the
subject which they require, for directing their pro
ceedings. The circular irom the Treasury Depart
ment, alter reciting the original passport order by
Secretary Seward, lays down the following rules;
1. passports are issued for one year, Etna need not
be surrendered within that period.
, 2. Citizens of the United statoß, desirous or visit
ing Canada, may take out' their passports either
from the United States consulates, or from this De
partment. ’
,3. United States consular agents are not autho
rized to issue passports; they may, however, vise
those oi foreigners.
4. Travellers making transit through Canada,
bom one American port to another Amerioan port,
musywocure passports.
b.-Fersons residing near the line, who desire to
cross and reoross daily, in pursuit oi their usual
avocations, are '‘travellers” in the contemplation
oftho order,'’and mußt provide themselves with
. J>i 6pS’emal6a and minor children, travelling alone,
are,included In the order. When, however, husband,
wife, and minor children travel together, a.single
passport for the .whole will Buffice. lor any other
'persons In-the,party, V separate passport will be re
quired.* -
7. Should any person, native or foreign, clandes
tinely enter the United States, in derogation of the
order, the fact should be reported to the military
authorities of the district. '
. These rules, added to the standing instructions on
the subject, are believed to cover all ordinary oases.
Should difficulty or doubt arise, you will communi
cate with this Department.
I am, sir, very respectfully,
W. P. Fessenden,
Secretary of the Treasury.
. The Instructions from the State Department re
ferred to above, which are those generally relating
to passports for American citizens travelling In fo
reign countries, and which bear the date of July,
1864, contain only the following additional particu
lars which bear upon the present ease :
When the applicant (to the State Department for
a passport) is a native citizen of the United States, he
must transmit an affidavit of this fact, signed by
Mm, stating his age and place of birth, ana sworn
to by himself and one other citizen of the United
States named therein, to whom he is personally
known, and to the best of whose knowledge and .be-'
lief, the declaration made by him is true. TMBaffi
davit must be attested by a notary public, under
his signature and seal of office. When) there is no
notary in the place, the affidavit may be made be
fore a justice of the peace, or other officer authorized
to administer oaths.
If the applicant be a naturalized oitizen, his "cer
tificate of naturalization must be transmitted for
Inspection. Itwill be returned with the/passport.
The widow or the children of the naturalized oitizen
must transmit the certificate of the naturalization
oftho husband er the father, stating under oath
that they are such widow or children.
The application should he accompanied by a de
scription of the. person, stating the following par
tlotuars, viz: Age: years. Stature: feet
k— Inches (English measure). Forehead: .
Eyes: . Nose:—-. Mouth:—-. Ohtn: .
Bair: . Complexion: . Faee: .
When the applicant is to be accompanied by his
wife, children, or servants, it will be sufficient to
state the name and ages of such persons, and their
relatlonsMp to the applicant.
. Persons who leave the oountry expecting to obtain
pkssports whilst abroad from the diplomatic or con
sular agents of tho United states, are liable to dis
appointment, inasmuch as it is the duty of thoße
agents not to grant documents of that okaracter,
except to persons who are certainly known to be en
titled to them; and it is sometimes dlffionlt, if not
impracticable, to procure proof of this fact in a
"foreign country. , . .
Five dollars tax, as imposed by law, will be re
quired, in United States currenoy, with each appli
cation. ... . -„
The oath of allegiance to the United States, as
prescribed by law, will be required In all oases.
Passports in Canada.—The following addi
tional passport agents have-been appointed in Ca
nada: Messrs. A. J. Patterson, Berlin; Thomas
Wills, Belleville; Thomas Sparrow, Gait; S. T.
Smades.Port Oolbome, and Thomas Burgan, Wel

the war Is a national calamity, bringing Innu

tbIBKS the war ought to cease whenever the rebels
lay down their arms and return to their allegi

The Governor thinks that the condition of the re

produce incalculable misery. It should be- gra

Circular No. 23 provides that the assessor will receive
both the original and duplicate retuhts of tax due from
banks, banking houses, savings banks, trust compa
nies, railroad, canal; and turnpike companies, under
sections HO 120, and 122 of the internal revenue act of
June 5), 3£64
This regulation, after sufficient trial has not proved
so advantageous In its results as was desirable. Asses
sore will therefore instruct all persons and corporations
making returns under the above sections of the law, to
forward the duplicate return, with payment, directly to
the Commissioner, and the assessor will retain the ori
ginaLon file in his office, as heretofore.
The “ quarterly statement, 1 * upon Form 36, should be
so rendered as.to show the amount paid upon each spe
cific subject of taxation, and the aggregate amount also
of each return should appear, in order that any discre
pancy between-the return received at this office and the
assessor’s statement may be more readily perceived and
