Yesterday morning officers Klchardson, Moon and Smithson, visited his room at the hotel, but only to find that tho bird bad flown and started down the river on the •■Minerva.” The room bore the appe&r&nco of a cbemi cal laboratory, a table being strewn with plas ter of paris, and a store and meling apparatus risible. The officers seized and took away a galvanic battery, some flasks for moulds, met al, an iron melting vessel, acids, chemicals, &c., which were placed in safe keeping at the Mayor's office. In the afternoon, Chief of Police Patterson and officer Gumbort. started by railroad for Bochester, for tho purpose of heading off the boat, \i inch they succeeded in doing, arrested Rocks and brought him back to the city in the evening. They found upon him a number of counterfeit halves and quar tors. Mayor Wilson committed the accused for trial. The police deserve due credit iur • his arrest, which was- effected by their own unaiufd efforts. They seem to have lull evi dence of iuS defendant’s guilt. iiKTTBBS by Private Ha.ndh—Of all the "kind offices” solicited on tho score of acquain tance or friendship, that of asking one to con vey and deliver a letter by private hand is the most unpleasant and annoying. And it is also the most uncertain mode of conveyance in the world, for we think it may be safely said that not one in ten of those wbo resort to it ever get the benefit of a prompt delivery of their communications, but frequently find that they have been resting quietly in the oarpet bag or pocket of the obliging private messen ger for days and weeks, entirely forgotten and neglected. Such has been our own experi ence, both as the sender and receiver of letters by private hand, and we prosame that prompt ness end accuracy in the matter referred to is the exception ana not the rule. Men’s thoughts are apt to be upas their own business, arid al though when the assume such little obligations they intend to carry them out, yet they often discover, to their great mortification, that they have mads a miserable failure in their attempt to play private letter carrier. This is our ad vice; don’t send letters which Ire of the least importance by private hands if it esn possiblv be avoided.— V. S.

The bill filed by Henry Lambert, Ihe new Oonnly Controller, asking that the County Commissioners be restrained from appointing and P*‘ cm K Ul duplicates in Iheir hands for collection, came up for argu ment in the Court of Common Pleas, on Thurs day morning, before Judges Mellon and Adams Geo. F. Hamilton, Esq., appeared for tbe Controller, K. 11. Collier, W, for the Commissioners and Thos. M. Marshall Esn for Andrew Wolff, Second Ward, and Joseph Hastings, Third Ward Tax Collector, against whom a simlar injunction was asked, to restrain them from performing their duties as tax col lectors. ,u T^^ ontroller ' 8 ““plfiint alleges that by the -Oth section ol the new act, it is made the duty of said Commissioners, in the month of r eburary, in each year, to make fair duplicates of county taxes, and deliver the same to said Controller, whose duty It then becomes to have the said taxes collected as provided for in the act. That, as Controller, he appliod to said Commissioners to deliver to him the said dupli cates, which they refused to do, claiming the right to appoint collectors and deliver the du pl cates to them for collection. He therefore asked that the Court would restrain the Com missioners, by injunction, from appointing tax collectors and delivering duplicates to them for collection. The Commissioners reply to this that provi. ous to the appointment ol complainant as Con trailer, they, as usual, assessed the amount ne cessary to defray the current expenses of tbo county for the present year, and appointed collectors lor the various wards, boroughs and townships of the county, and issued duplicates therefor, a numbor of which have been de llvered to the collectors- that the same was done in accordance with the uniform practico of former years, and without any knowledge or supposition that the present act interforod therewith; that the protended act of Assembly made part of complainant's bill, provides in the sixth section that the Controller shall, on or before the first day of February, annually communicate to the Commissioners a detailed estimate-of the receipts and ei|>endilureB of the country for the current year, and that the said Controller has negleotod to comply with this duty. For tbe reasons herein sot forth the Commissioners pray the Court to dismiss the motion for an Injunction, with costs. The matter was fully argued by the counsel Mr. Hamilton arguod that all taxes collected since the new bill went into operation. May Ist, 1861, were misspayments, as that bill re peals the act of 1884, under which tbo Com missioners appointed the collectors. Mr. Marshall held that tbe appointments having been made prior to May Ist, the Legislature must have known that the time for making such appointments had expired, and asxed, his clients, having been appointed under color ol law that the bill against them bo discharged. He further contended that, under the sixth section of the new act, the Connty Treasurer bad no right to collect a dollar of taxes, unless the estimates were first made by the Control ler and the assessment fixed by the Commis. Stoners; that the County Treasurer, and not the Controller, was the only one who had a right to complain, and be was not a parly to this suit. Mr. Collier, on behalf of the Com missioners, responded—that no notice of the passage of the new act, no certified copy of the same had ever been served upon the Commis sioners; that the assessments for the current year have been made as heretofore, without renrd to the supposed now act, and that the collectors have been appointed in tho usual manner. And further, that under the sixth section of tho new act, it is made the doty of the Controller, on or before the first of Febru ary, each year, to communicate to the Com misaionera . eetailed utijuUi of Ibe receipts and expenditures ol the county, when saici Commissioners .hall make the assessments for the correal yoar. Mr. Hamilton replied, giv ing the oppoiite view of tho caeo, and contond ing that, maemuch a. the new law vu passed for the benefit of the county, it »hould be rig. idly enforced, and there vaa no material diili. oulty in the way of a just application of its provisions, however much the Commissioners might object to relinquishing tho power and patronage lately posseteed by them. The Court took possession of the papers, and adeaUfon will be given in a few days It will be looked for with interest by all. ' :'X *&&!&£%£* #*>b-’iS-l&?.' Prksentatiom. —The Union Cavalry, Capt. K.

[Special dispatch to the Post] Washington, May 23.—Further troops from Pennsylvania, for the present, are posi tively refused. D. H. W. Washington City, May 23.—A letter from Virginia states that there are between 60,000 and 60,000 men under arms in that State. They are chiefly posted at Richmond, Norfolk and Harper's Ferry,or within hailing distance of these points. It is also Btated that private advices confirms the report of large ar rivals of arms at the South from abroad. They were shipped from Europe early in April, and consist of over 200,000 muskets and rifles, and ample supplies of powder and percussion cape, ana machines for making the latter article. A private company has been organized at Alex andria, Va., to convey letters to the North,' as, after next week, all letters destined for the North, will lie over at that city. All mail, with points North of Virginia will cease on the Ist of June. The Post office department has, as yet, ta ken no action in view of the contemplated Southern independent mail arrangements.— The appearances indicate that separate offers for bonds or Treasury notes, and alternative offices for the former at current rates, and for the latter at par, will exceed the nine million called for. The desirableness and importance of the result, creates some solicitude that it may not fai I of being realized. Much speculation is indulged in as to the movements of the troops for active service, but’ those who, it is presumed, are best acquainted with such matters say that no invasion into the heart of any State is now contemplated,, and that the operations will be principally con-' fined to the re capture of the public property and the maintainance of the defensive works, still In the possession of the United States. Much deference is paid to the viewß of Lieut. Gen. Scott, and it is known that he is not res tive to make any forward movement, unless with preponderating chances of success. There may, however, be modifications of this present poiioy dependent on circumstances. Joseph Oasey, of Pa., has been appointed' Judge of the Court of Claims, to supply the vacancy occasioned by the secession of Judge .Scarborough, of Virginia. The President has appointed the following Surgeons in the Navy: Jacob S. Gungan, Charles F. Fakes, Samuel F. Cowes, Edward Shipper, William Lawber, Phineas J. Hor witz, William D. Harrison, Charles Martin. Francis McGennel, James Suddard, S Allen. Engles, and Benjamin Freeland.

The latter marched through the city to the Washington depot, while the recruits remained in the oars and passed through. Gen. Patterson and staff reached Fort McHenry yesterday, by the steamer Weldon. Col. Uoorehead’s regi ment will be removed to Patterson Park on the Eastern suburbs of the city, to-morrow. Col. Lyle’s regiment will go inside of Fort McHenry to-morrow. Col. Lewis’ regiment will remain encamped at Federal Hill. The change has greatly improved the condition ef the Bick ; only some half dozen are now in the hospital, and they are doing well. The large number who were sick at the former camp became convalescent under the influence of the high and airy position which they now occupy. St. Louis, May 23.— The steamer H. Swan was seized yesterday at Harlow's Landing, thirty miles below the city, and brought to the arsenal, by order of General Lyon, This is the steamer that brought the arms from Baton Kouge which were captured by Gen. Lyon, at Camp Jackson, at'lhe time of the massacre. Measures will be taken to afloat the legal <son. fiscatlon of the boat. ■<» Cashier. About five thousand pounds of lead were seized yesterday, en route for the South, at Ironton, on the Iron Mountain Railroad, by order of General Lyon. Some resistence was offered by a parly of citizens, and several shots were fired on both sides, but nobody was in jured. John Dean and bis fellow prisoners were released from the arsenal, yesterday on parole. ’ Chambersburg, May 28.—0 n Wednesday night a party of Virginians attempted the cap. ture of a ferry boat on the Potomac 2iver near Clear Spring, Maryland. Notice was’ given l>y the Tnion men of Clear Spring, three miles distant, who turned out to guard the boat., During the night the Virginians seized the boat, but were fired on by the guard, and when midway across, bad to abandon the prize and escape in a skiff. It has been reliably ascertained that two of the V irginians were shot. The ferry boat returned again to the Mary land shore. 1 • No regiments have reached Williamsport. All is quiet here. Baltimore, May 23.— The steamer Ade laide, from Old Point Comfort, reports that Major General Butler and staff, arrived at For tress Monroe yesterday afternoon, and was re ceived with the usual military honors. A grand review ot the troops took place in thg evening, when the line embraced 4000 men, stretching clear across the parade ground of the Fortress.
