MONDAY MORNLJiG::::::::::::OCT. 21, OIT? TsAl A.T TBBS Oa Saturday morning, at ten o’clock, before Jodge Mellon, the hearing in the application for discharge, on habeas cor* pus, of Thomas Connolly and Patrick Galvin, arrested and committed as deser* tors on information of OapL Foley, with whom they enlisted, but subsequently left j and joined the Irish Brigade, in New York, was resumed, Wm. G. Moreland. Esq., appearing for the prisoners and Thomas M Marshal, Esq ,on behalf of ] the United States. j Oapt, Henry Hays, United States Ka j cruHtng Officer, testified that the defend' ants were mastered into the service, at his recruiting office, National Hotel, having volunteered in Capt. Foley’s company for three years, or during the war. Sergeant Daviß testified that the men had been subsisted at Camp Fremont, lor some time after their enlistment, and had been uniformed by Capt. Foley. On cross examination he stated that he belonged to Capt. Foley'a.company; that they had been six weeks recruiting this company, and had now some thirty nine men. Capt. Foley was then called on behalf of the relatorß, and testified that ho was not a commissioned officer; ho had written for a commission, but had not yet reeeivod an answer; neither had he been elected by his men as Captain. Lieut. Patten was next called, and tes tified that he had made a charge of deser tion against these men, and caused their arrest. He was Lieu enant in Capt. Fo« ley’s company, but he had not been com* missioned, and was not olocted by the company. BE FURNISHED The testimony here cloßod, and Mr. Moreland asked that the men he discharged. Ho took the position that Oapt. Foley had no authority to raise a company; and that the offence, if any hud been committed, was not oognlzablo in a civil court. If they really had deserted, (which they had not) they wore punishable by military law. They were willing, however, that the Court Bhould remand thorn into the custo dy of any military officer who would give them an opportunity for active service. Judge Mellon remarked that it was not usual for the Court to interfere with com mitments for a further hearing. The par ties might be remanded until Monday,the day fixed for their final hearing beforetbo Mayor, and the military authorities could then take the proper course in the matter. The counsel on both sides then suggested that all parties would bo satisfied to have the men remanded into tho custody of I Oapt. Hays, to be disposed of as ho might think best. Tho Court acceded to this request, and the men were taken charge of by Capt. Hays. Dr. von Mosohziskrr. —This gonliot man has now been some considerable time in our city, and we, as well as all our eo- temporaries, bavo repeatedly had oppor tunity to speak of him. We will not now eulogize his professional abilities, but we wish to touch upon the subject of his pro« fession. Dr. von M. did not come among os as a stranger, his wide spread reputa tion went before him, and if the testimony of such men as he brought with him are of any value, which no one can deny, he had every reason to obtain the full con - dence of our community. Moreover, the easy, open, honorable way in which he spoke through the public press, was that of a man who feels his ability, and is anx xious that he should not be confounded with mere pretenders. He announced that no one need expect any garantee of cures, that he merely professed to do the best of his ability in curable cases, but no mira cles, and that there might be some cases whichwould even bafflehtß great experience as an aurist He further not only stated that all those who wished to consult him, , might, if they chose, bring their family phy sician with them, but particularly invited the medical men of the city to visit his Consulting Booms to be present When he operated, that they might see what he is able to do in a branch of medical' science to which be has given his exclusive atten tion. That'he was entitled to their con fidenpe in his knowledge he referred them to his published works for the particular use of medical men. Those of our physi clans who have visited him have all spoken of him in highest terms. There is usually a point of medical etiquette which often prejudices medical men against lh lose who advertise, no matter how skilful they may be; bat when a man practices and confines that practice to a particular speciality, he has no other means of securing tor himself a practice, but by letting the public know that he <}oes devote himself to that or this branch of the medical pro fession, and if one courts the presence of the profession in the way Dr. M. has done that prejudice should at once vanish, at it has in every city where Dr. von M. Ibas remained any tohglh of time. Dr. M.’s profession, though o»B of the noblesp in the branch of medical science, is yet com bined with numerous difficulties which.: the general practitioner does not experiehee; particularly is this the case in the treat, ment of aural science. Diseases of the ear, in an acute slate, as we are assured by Dr. H., will, in almost all oases,! be cured in from one to three months, but the difficulty is that lb a most cases seen by an auriat, have become of a chronic nature from neglect to apply until they are driven to do so, after having tampered with all kind of .nostrums, and when ti ey : do place themselves under treatment t:,.>y ex pect that a cure will be accomplished alter two or three months, and if this is noj,the caso, they are fnot only disappointed:and discouraged, but actually fancy their caso worse and give up the treatment without even having given the means used a ; fair trial to approach what may be called a good test. In cases where patients have given him a fair'trial, and the case is at all. a curable one, whether of deafness or blind/ ness Dr. von Iloschzisker is certainly most able to accomplish a cure and wili invariably b 9 successful, and no ono should neglect to seek the means of recovering two such valuable senses as Bight and hearing. Discharged. — W ni. Carr, colored, cor.- fined in jail oh a charge of perjury, was discharged on Saturday morning, the grand jnry having ignored the bill against him. Edward Holt was also discharged for thwamn-reason. ~ Motion fob New Trial. —ln the. esse of William Borns, convicted of larceny from aifcggw Egmod H- 'C.

Plead Guilty and Sentenced. In the Court of Quarter Sessions, on Saturday morning, Sophia lieih, a German girl, plead guilty to the larceny of $2OO from John Fritch, with whom she resided in Allegheny, and was sentenced to one year's imprisonment in the Western Peni tentiary. George Agey, who plead guilty to four indictments for stealing butler, in Alle gheny, was sentenced to one year in the Western Penitentiary on one of the in dictments and six months on another, to take effect after the expiration of the firs sentence. Mrs. Catharine Murphy; who plead guilty to the larceny of a piece of goods from J. M. Burchfield’s store, Market street, was sentenced to three months in the county jail. I Fatal Accident to a Solcier A I member of Company B, First artillery, 1 Frederick Seifert, of New Castle, was ac- J cidentally killed at Washington City on I Monday last, under the following oircum- I stances; A regiment was out on dress parade lin tho rear of the tent in which Mr. S sat, engaged in writing home. In per- i forming the manual, at "ground arms,” one of the soldiees advanced the right, in stead of the left foot, and in rectifying tho mistake, his foot struck the lock of tho gun, occasioning a premature diroharge I The gun was loaded in the usual manner I —with one ball and three buckshot. One I oi tho shot nenetrated Mr. S’s breast,caus-1 ing instant death. Tho ball struck a young I man in the same tent, named Phillips, of I Lancaster county, in the arm, shattering it so badly as to render amputation of tho limb necessary. Seifert’s body was taken home to Newcastle for interment. I A Vrtbban Soldier. —Among the men onlisted with Capt. Williams in Johnstown is an old soldier who has al. roady soon nineteen years and three months service, having served nine years in tho British service, ten in the United States service, and three months in the recent volunteer service as a member of tho baDd of the 31 regiment of volunteers from this State. Ho has four sons enlisted in the United States sorvice—two in Col. Camp boll’s Cambria County rogimont, and two in Oapt. Williams’ company. Tho name of this veteran soldier is Elisha C. Bennett He is over forty-five years of age, and last week married a second wife half bis age, who will accompany him in tho campaign upon which ho will soon enter. The Anoel of Death. —Wo are at longtb to have this long-promised play, which is announced by Manager Henderson fur this evening. It is a translation, and is said by critics who have soen it performed in the East, where it has boon highly sac cossful, that it is one of the finest dramas of tho day, full of fine sentimont and thrilling scenes. This ovoning, Miss Ettie Hendor son personates tho Angel, Mr. Uonderson Dr. Paul Bernarr and Kate Newton Mar guerite. Tho evening’s entertainment concludes with the “College Boy,” Mrs. Henderson as Fanny Curry. Wo predict a large attendance this evening and a good run for tho "Angel of Daxth.” The Campaign In Western Virginia. It is tho opinion of the Who-lipg Intel lipcncer that the campaign in Western Virginia is virtually ended. It says:— "lioßOcrans has fallen back and taken a position on tho Charleston and Lewisburg turnpike, a short distance above the junc tion of New and Gauley rivers The rebel array appears also to have retired towards Lewisburg. Tho roadß are represented sb having become so bad in that region as to render military transportation next to im possible, and that, of course, rendors any important army movement impracticable, for a time at least. There ought to be a month of good weather yet, however, and in that time something might and ought to be done, for we take if that the bad roads at this juncture are occasioned by the heavy rains a week or two back, and will soon be solid again. The real difficulty, we think, is that Bosecrans’ division is not strong enough to act on the offensive, and it is not regarded judicious to advance too far into an enemy’s country at this season of tho year, when a rain storm might at any time atop transportation, without a force suffi cient to meet any that might be brought against it. II the army of Western Vir ginia is not largely reinforced very shortly it will have to content itself for the remain der of_lhe reason with acting on the defen sive, This will not be an arduous service. The rebels have been singularly unfortunate ln »11 their undertakings against Western Virginia, and they will trouble us no more this winter.” Killed on the Railroad.—A mem ber of an lowa regimont died at McVey> town a few days since, having been run over by a train off which he fell on last Wednesday morning, while passing through with his regimont. Ho was single and has only one relative, a sistor, -whoso Whereabouts he did not know. He was Interred in the Methodist cemetery. Another Keoimknt for Kentucky. Tbo destination of the Second Minne sota (not Michigan.as the compositor made us ssy on Saturday) regiment, which ar rived here on Friday night, was changed after their arrival here and on Saturday they were shipped off to Louisville on the steamers Anglo-Saxon, Rocket and Mar/ mora, chartered for the purpose by Quar termaster Ekin. Tho boats got off about two o’clock on Saturday afternoon, and, being less heavily laden, may overtake* Gen. Negley’s Brigade, They are Ordered to report to Gen. Sherman. Burglary in Allegheny City.— About 12 o’clock on Friday night, the tavern of J. Schulz, Ohio Btreet, Alleghe ny, was entered through tho trap door in the bar-room to the collar, (aocess to the lafter being gained by removing a window in the yard) and robbed of some $3O, which had been left in the till. On Satur day John McOleary was arrested on suspi* oion, having, after visiting the house on Friday evening, returned on Saturday morning, when his coat showed marks of white-wash, apparently rubbed from the window frame by which the cellar was entered. He stated that he was at home at 12 o’clock tho previous night, but it was ascertained that he had not been home for two nights. However, as no money was found on his person; he was discharged. CoMMPLIMENTAKY RESOLUTIONS —At a meeting of the field, staff and company officers oi Col. Leasure’s Boundhead regia meht, on the 16th inst, they passed a series of resolutions complimentary to their late Litutoiiaut Colonel, James A. Ekin, re gretting that the Government had decided to kcop him in the present position of As sistant Quartermaster General at Pittss burgh. Dr F. Irish, of this city, went with Gen. Nogley’s brigade, in the capacity of surgeon to GoL Stambaugh’s regiment. Wm. White, the man bo badly treated on/Thursday by three men across the river, 0W8»i to the Marine Hospital on Saturday. Col, Geary’s Regiment. A Washington correspondent of a Phil adelphia paper, writing on the 17th, thns deservedly compliments Col. Geary’s regi ment : I "Thegratifying intelligence received last night from Harper’s Ferry furnishes more evidence of the efficiency and bravery of Col. Geary’s command. From the tin o I the Twenty-eighth first entered the sorvice I up to the present its history has been one of adventure, and its encounters with the I enemy bold, daring and successful. Penn- I By Iranis has reason to be especially proud I of this fine regiment, and Col. Geary !b I entitled to the thanks of the country for I hfs dashing exploits. The official report of I yesterday’s engagement states that Colonel I Geary, with one thousand men, crossed the I river at Bolivar and surprised a rebel camp I of two or three times their number, charged I at the peint of the bayonet and drove the I enemy three miles, killing and wounding one bnndred and fifty, and captaring a thirty-two pounder, upon wich tho Colonel wrote his report Our loss is four killed and ten wounded. Let us hope that other Pennsylvania regiments will give as good an account of themselves. I believe they will, for there are no troops now in the field which givo greater promise of effi ciency than thnsn of iho old Keystone.” Came too Late —We are credibly in- I formed that a despatoh reached this city on Friday night at eleven o’olOck, for Com Win. J. Kounlz, from the Assistant Se cretary of War, directing him to furnish ample facilities for the transportation of Gen. Negley’s brigade to Lonisvflle. Had this arrived some hoars earlier it would have* Baved the Commodore from a vast amount of just indignation in every quarter. I TiieGrampus, a boat sent by Gen, l'olk to Gon, Grant's fortifications at Cairo, re cently, was formerly owned by Captain Thoa. Chester, of this city. When the war broke out she was engaged, with the Mo hawk, also belonging to Capt. C., as a tug on the Mississippi. Both boats were seized at Memphis by order of Gen. Pillow, and confiscated as the property of a Northerner. Many think the military authorilios at Cairo should havo dotainwl iho Grampus, and sont tho robels who came in her back on foot. Beardless Barley.— Mr. James Edle, of Washington township, Lawrence coun ty, had on display at tho late fair, a new kind of barley, at least for that county, sb well as some broad made therefrom. The seed from which this was grown was sowed on the first of May last. It yields from forty to sixty bushels per acre, with tho samo treatment as oats, and weighs about sixty pounds to the bushel It is pro nounced a valuable addition to tho bread crop. Chaplaib to Col.

BY TELEGRAPH. A Oifficn.ty Regarding British Subjects. Wabhikoton, October 19. —Lord Lyons, several days ago addressed a letter to the Secretary of State, in which he said that her Maj 'sty's Government was much con» cerned to fled that two B-itieh subjects, Messrs. Patrick and Rahming, had been subjected to arbitrary arrest, and although they had been released, it could not bjit re gard the matter as one requiring very serious consideration. Lord Lyons,Ainder instructions, therefore, felt bound So re monstrate against such irregular -proceed ings, as he designates them, and to say that the authority of Congress is neceesary in order to sanction the arbitrary arrest and imprisonment of British subjects. Secretary Seward, in the course of his reply, after detailing the facts in regard to the two persons named in Lord Lyons’ note, says ; “ The proceedings of which the British Government complains were taken upon information conveyed to the Presi dent by the legal police authority of the country, and they were not instituted until after he had suspended the great writ of freedom in just the extent that in view of the periis of the State he deemed necessary, for the exercise of that discretion he, as well as his advisers, amoDg whom are the Secretary of War and tbo Secretary of State, is responsible by law before the highest judicial tribnnal of the Republic, and amenable also to the judgement of his countrymen UDd tho onlightened opinion of the civilized world. And in conclusion.’ Mr. Seward remarks, -‘the safety of the whole peoplo has become in the present emergency the supreme law, and so long as the danger sh&ll exist all classes of society equally, the donfzon and cltizon, cheerfully acquiesce in the measures which that law precribo. ‘•This government does not question the learning of the legal advisers of the British Crown, or the justico of the doference which Her Majesty pays to them. Never* tholess, the British government will hardly expoct that the President will accept their explanation of the constitution of the United States, especially when the consti tution thus expounded would load upon him the solo executive responsibility of suppressing the existing insurrection, while it would transfer to Congress the most ma terial and indispensable power to be em ployed for that purposo. Moreover, those explanations find no real support in the letter, much less In the spirit of the con stitution itself. Ho must be allowed, there fore, to prefer and be governed by the views of our organio national law, which, while it will enatle him to execute his great trust with complete success, will re* ceive the sanction of the highest authori ties of our own country, and is sustained by the genoral consent of the people, for whom alone that constitution yvas estab lished. I avail myself of this opportunity to offer to your Lordship a renewed-assur ance of my very high consideration,” Washington, October 19—Surprise is expressed hero at the misconstruction at- tempted to be put upoa Secrotary Seward's circular by alarmists. The circular shows that our relations abroad are in good con dition, and that the Government means to keep them so. The nation, six months ago, became ex posed to dangers within and without. The Administration has taken adequate mea sures to put them right within, and now turns to putting them right without. It asks the co operation of the loyal States in the latter duty, as in the former. The Secretary of State, accompanied by the Ministers from England, franco and Spain, had a pleasure excursion over the river yesterday, visiting the camps and for tifications. They afterwards attended the review at Arlington, passed by Munson’s Hill and returned at a late hour by way of the Long Bridge. Gea. Price Has Made Another Stand—Detection of the Cherokee Nation. Holla, Mo*, October 18 — The corress pondent of the St. Louis Demoorat fur nishes the following items: A scout ha j ust come in from the West and reports that Price has made a stand at Carthage, sixty miles from Springfield. The legis lature is to be called together on the 4th of Govember. The rebels at Vienna have dispersed, a portion going "home and the remainder will join Johnson. Johnson has been placed in command of all the rebel forces in Missouri, and has issued a proclamation forbidding the transporta- tion of any more property—meaning slaves —from the Stato. It is not Baid whether Johnson supersedes Price or not.. The following letter is dipped from the Fort Smith, Ark., Times. Executive De., partment. Park Hill, Cherokee Nation,' August 24,1861. Major Clark, Adjutant of Militia, Confederate States of Amerioa: Sir, —I herewith forward to your care dis patches for Goneral McCullouch, C. 8. A., which 1 have the honor to request you will cause to be forwarded to him by the earliest expro-s. At a mass meeting of about 4,000 Cherokees at Fahleqna, on the 21st ult, the Cherokees, with marked unanimity, declared their adherence to the Confederate States, and have given their authorities power to negotiate an alliance with them. In view of this action a regiment of mounted men will bo immediately raised and placed under command of Col. John Drew, to meet any emergency that may ariee. Having espoused the cause oi the Confederate States, welhope to be able to render efficient service in the present, and perhaps protracted war which now threat ens the country, and to be treated with a liberality and confidence becoming the Confederate States. I have the honor to bo, sir, your hamble servant, [Signed,] John Boss, Principal Chiol of the Cherokee Nation, From Missouri. St. Lohib, Oct, 18.—The rebels who burned the Big Biver bridge the other day were marauding bands from St. Genevieve and Saint Francois counties, numbering about six hundred men, Jeff.
