Tbe Court’ of Quarter Sessions met yes lerday morning for the June term. As usual on the first day,no business was transac ted except receivingdoustablee'-returns, calling over thejuries and aweartng*nd charging the Grand Jury. Judge Mcvlfife delivered an able and patriotic charge, for whioh we regret we have not space. He defined the meaning of treason, prescribed the penalty, &c. "We make a few extracts from the charge. The following relates to treason: “The county of Allegheny has proved to tbe world that she is true to her government,loyal to the Constitution, intensely alive to the hon qi of its flag, and eager to meet its enemies in the stern ranks of death. It was this very spot whero you are now sitting, tnkt the citizens of Allegheny county, in a manner oalm, firm and peaceable, rebuked with dig nity and with effect tbe treasonous order of a late Secretary of War,for the removal of guns, which order had the double design of arming treason, and disarming loyal States, under the false pretence of mounting forts in revolted States, which forts, in time of peace even, would not have been for ten years ready to re eelve them. The Secretary then resigned,and his honest successor, Mr. Holt, immediately countermanded the order. In the discharge of your ■- duties, the Grand Jury will please bear in mind that the public feeling is now powerfully aroused, that the passion of love of connlry, which has swal lowed ail other passions up, is quick, eager and jealous, and keen to snuff even the suspi« cion of treachery on the tainted breeze. At such, a time as this distrust might be engen dered, or suspicion readily excited against innocent persohß. Ton will take care that -your bills and presentments, if any therd be, are founded on well authentica ted facia. Goo)ness, deliberation and cau tion, and fair justice above all, become the dignity and responsibility of your high position. While the conduct of every citizen in the county, however eminent and worthy, charged with a violation of the law,ls a, proper subject for your enquiry, you will take especial care that the good name and fame of no man be Impaired by false and maliotous accusation. - The following, as will be seen, is concern ing the frauds upon the soldiers : - “It here becomes oar duty to advert to that which Is a matter of notoriety and general re mark: That oar volunteer soldier* trom Alle gheny county, nbw at Washington, defending the National Capital, have been made the sub ject of nefarious frauds, committed upon them by the cupidity of dishonest contractors. We] know nothing judicially, nor who may be im-| plicated, "but the Court gives yon this import-] ant subject In charge. Shonld you be satisfied! that the conduct of any man in this ma.terj brings him witbin the scope of the criminal] law, the District Attorney will frame bills oil indictment, and If any be found guilty by a] jury ot bis country, hemnitsuffer the penalty] of his offence. The public exigences demand] it, and the mood of the public mind will not] permit, with impunity, the comfort and tbe] right* of the soldier to be trifled with. Every contract to furnish troops should beS fulfilled with the most scrupulous Integrity]! and honesty. These noble men should neverS be made the victims of rvarice. In the rega-S lar service the commissairate considers ltsß honor beund to-furnish faithfully and welt.—| This is indispensable to the health, cheerful-B ness and efficiency of troops. It is obvious toB the Benses, that men ill else or provisioned, ton say nothing of their comport, are not as etfc-K tive as the same men well cared for. ToB weaken our our friends is to add a correspond-* mg strenfith to our adversaries, and thl* looks! very much like affording aid and comfort tol the enemy. K The conclusion of the charge was as follows :« Gentleman, we have a government—a gov. 9 ernment that governs, and that must and shall! be respected and obeyed ; if not when clothedn in.parchment, why then when clad in steel.—ft Treason can lake its choice. The Constitu-8 tion is now being written, anew with the points of the sabre; it being proclaimed again from! the iron throats of her guns, so that treason,| though.deaf and blind as it is, shall hear it] and behold it. Tbe laconic eloquence of the* government now is, “ shonlder arms, charge] bayonets.” The country sees and knows audl feels that in this emergency the most lavish expenditure of money and of men is the truest economy for all time to come. The great heart of tbe North beats as tpe heart of one man, andjleaps with loyalty Ho the mild and pa rental government uf the United Stales. Law will vindicate its authority and crush rebellion out, though mailed Mars should, on his altar, 1 sit up to his ears In blood. A-my after army! of freedom and freemen will flow in and flow! on like the tides of the sea, and know no real tiriDg ebb until treason is oversowed, washed* out, and the land purified. 8 I trust the day will come when the stoutest? rebel in arms will be made to embrace thul grand flag ho has insulted, and to bow in rev-| crance and meek submission to tbe execution# of tbe law which he has braved. Tbe Oonsti-jj tution of the United States is the Supreme lawn of the land. Tbe attempt to destroy the govg ernment under which we were born, is a crime] against tbe inalienable and indefeasible rigbtsof] every individual American citizen, His acrimel against constitutional freedom, and the hopes off tbe friends of freedom throughout tbe world.] Allegiance to the Constitution is the tie] which binds every citizen lobe true and faith] fat to it. In return for that protection which] it affords to him, and truth, and faith to bear] of life, and limb, and earth ly honor, snd not! to know or hear of any ill intended it without] defending it therefrom. The Constitution is] a sacred trust; its protection is a duty we owe i to, therppat, the present, and the future; we owe ittojunrselyei who enjoy lQ,to our ances tor* who’bought it with their blood; and te posterity who will demand at our hands unim paired this beithirthr ight and noblest inberi tanceofmankind. ' " : ■>’ Armoiy has become more immediate the sub ject once more comes up, and it would now seem that our.people have determined to go to work affd secure its location here, if possible For this purpose a meeting has been called, at City Hall, for four o'olock, on Thursday after noon. We hope to see" a large attendance of our substantial men, and trust that those familiar with our superior facilitias for the manufacture of all articles in iron or steel will be prepared to give their views fully and sue .cinctly. Certainly we can make arms hero as cheap or cheaper than in any city in the -world, and we ought to have the National Armory. Let our citizens come out and act at once, promptly and enegetlcally, and we will have it. Every man among us is more ot less -interested. Le us see what we can do? S'S'' L °V v’a—:.

Young, Bec’t. ’ - ] What ib the Matter with the Basis,? j—On Monday morning, a number of dttzena jof the upper wards complained of a terrible jstenob emanating from tbe upper basin, and [which caused serious illness in several families jThis was probably caused by an .accumulation jof foreign matter la the basin, acted upon by jtbe hot Bun of the past few days. If such is ■the fact immediate measures tUould be taken (to have the baain cleaned out, and the process ■should be repeated at short Intervals through (oat the summer, so as to ensure pure and (healthful water. The lives and health of our (citizens should not be endangered by such (neglect—nor should the expenditure of a few (dollan be taken Into account in a matter ol [such momentous importance. We have suf fered too much in this particular already.— (Here, where we ought to luve tbe best and (purest waterofany city in the world, we per. Emit butchers and all others who are near the »line_of the Allegheny river to throw their roffal into it orat least where it will soon reach lit, giving us as drink tbe Alteration of all these (impurities.

Where three or four Iht u fsand soldiers are collected ‘there we shall have (the refuse and dirt of this camp cast into ihe Friver, and the water further pointed. We do gnot suppose the Councils could prevent tbe !o-i [cation of this camp at Hulton, but they should vdosometning to ensure the purity ot our wa iter Pure water is as great a necessity as pure air, and where we can have it as r-adi’y as in Pittsburgh, it is a burning shame and] 'dißgruce that we are obliged to iiubibe so much [impurity. ] The Jail Cale-toer.-—The Judges of the] Criminal Court will be able to finish up the] [business of the June term in a very short! -time.
