As we ere told, th| “sports’ ’ of the city had for a «week been, anticipating fain from this rare event—thpidog, a splendid specimen of cne canine arace, had been jn “training" for a long tl pie—and large sums of money had been Staked on the result, some say as much ab|6lo,ooo. Thp place pitched upon for thp sprrt was neutral ground, a secluded spot in Huntingdon county, where it was thought there won d be “none to molest or -ihake them afrhid.” The day came, and j with it, to thp quiet town of Huntingdon, two large d legations, one from Baltimpre and one from this city, ; the latter numbering as mtny as could be comfortabWjstowed in on 3 railroad car.

Til® circumstances are briefly these: John ||ieichteathaler jwas engaged as a brakesmait on & coal train on the Al legheny VallejM Bailroad, and was in the immediate employ of Messrs. Dickson, Stewart & Col coal merchants'. On the 23d of November, 1862, while the coal train was running up past the oil refinery of Messrs. Lobshart & Frew, located at Negley’s runjihe ears were thrown off the -track and Leitalejthaler was piled.

The jnry foaijtl! a verdict fofi plaintiff for $B,OOO and cob Es. The ease will go to the Supreme CourtS Marshall arid Brown for plaintiff and Woods and Hanipton for de fendants. The|:hief assignment of error is that the Courg overruled pertain points, one of which pas that deceased, having expressed a few that the engineer of the -coal train wouia| by his reckle isness, cause his death, placed himself voluntarily in a -precarious situation and that I herefore his widow was notejititled to reco er damages.

SENATE ADJOURNED SINE DIE, dominations Confirmed, Vicksburg Reported Evacuated LATEST F2OM PORT ROYAL 1 Wi.ga»(wdjr, Harch-16. —The following letter, dated Headquarters of the Army, Washington, March 15, 1862, haa been ad dressed by Major General Hsllec'k to Maj. General Kosecrans, commanding <fcc., at Murfreesboro, Tenn. General—l havejost received Maj. Gen. Reynolds' letter of February 10th, with your endorsement of February 18th. The suggestions of Gen, Reynolds and Gen. Thomas in regard to a more rigid treat ment ot disloyal persons within the. lines of your army are approved. No addition- 1 al instructions from these Headquarters are deemed necessary. Yon have already been urged to procure your subsistence, forage and means of transportation so far as possible in the country occupied. This you had a right to do without any instruc tions as commanding general in the field. lon have power to enforce all laws and usages of war, however rigid and severe these may be, unless some act of Congress forbidding or restricting such enforce meats. Ab a general rule you must be the judge where it is best to rigidly apply these laws, and where a more lenient course is of greater advantage to our cause. Dis liuciions, however, ' should always be made in regard to the character of people in the district of country which is milita rily oocupied or passed over. ‘The people of the country in which yon are likely to operate, may be divided into . three olasses. Ist. The truly loyal who neither aid nor assist the rebels except under compulsion, but who favor or assist Union forces.— ' here it can possibly be avoided, this class of persons should not be subjected' to military requisitions, but should re ceive the protection of our arms. It may, however, sometimes be necessary to take their property either for onr own use or to prevent its falling into the hands of the enemy, and they will be paid at the time of the value of such property, or if that be impracticable, they will hereafter be fully indemnified if receipts should be given for all property so taken without be ing paid for. Those who take no active part in the. war, but belong to the class known in military lav as non-combatants in a civil war like that waged, this class ia supposed be sympathizers with rebellion rather than with the Government. There can be no such thing as neutrality in rebellion. The term is applicable only to foreign powers. | Such persons, so long as thev commit no hostile act and comfort fht! .wes with their private avocations, are not to be molested by military forces, nor is their property to be seized except as a military necessity. They, however, are subject to forced loans and military requisitions and their honses to be lePfor soldiers' quarters and to appropriations for other temporary military üßes. Subject to these imposi tions the non-combatant inhabitants of a district of country occupied by ono of the belligerents are then entitled to the military protection of the occupying forces, but while entitled to such pro tection, they incur very serious obli gations in differing in some respects from those of the civil allegiarce, but equally binding. For example, those who nse in j annß against the occupying army, or against the authority established-by the same, are rebels or military traitors and incur the penalty, death. They are not entitled to be considered as prisoners of war. and when captured, their property is subject io military seizure and military con" nszation. Military treason of this kind is broadly distinguished from the trea son defined in the Constitution and statutory laws and made pnnisbable by cml courts. Military treason is a milita ry offence punishable by common law against persons belonging to such occu pied territory and within the military lines of occupying forces and can give no infor mation to the enemy of occupying power without proper authority‘todo so Lthepar ty not only forfeits all claims to protection, but subj ects himself or herself to be pun ished either as n spy or military traitor, according to character. The particular offence ol our treatment ol such offences nnd snch offenders has hitherto been alto gether too 'cinent; a more strict in force ment ol the laws was in this respect re commended, such offenders should be made ho underat and the penalties they incur and to know that these penalties will be ngidly enlorced. ad Those whoare openly and avowedly hostile to the occupying army, but who do not bear arms against each forces, in other words, while claiming to be non- Combatants they repudiate tho obligation tacitly or impliedly incurred by other in habitants of the occupied territory. Such persons ajt only incur all obligations im posed upon other nos-combatant mhabi tants of the same territory, and nrejpiable to the same punishment for offences com mitted. but they may be treated as prison ers of war and bo subject to confinement as non combatants or euetnies. lam ol the opinion that such pers ons should not as a general rule bo permitted to go at large within onr lines, snd those capable of beariug arms to go within the lines of the enemy, adds to this effective force and to place them in confinement, will require guards for their safe keeping, and this necessarily diminishes ouraotive forces in the field. You must be deter mined in each particular case which course will be most- advantageous. We have suffered very severely from this class, and it, is time the laws of war should be more vigorously enforced against them. A broad line of distinction must be drawn between friends and enemies be lieved In be loyal and disloyal, The fore going remarks have referenceoalv to mili tary stations and to military offenders under they are not applicable to civil officers under the constitution and general laws of the land, the laws and usages of civil ised war must be your guide in the treat ment of all claims of persons of the oonn try in which your army may officiate or which it may occupy, and you will be per mitted to decide for yourself where it is best to be more lenient,; you will not be trammeled with minute instructions. .Very respectfully your obedient servant H. Halleci(, Commander in-Chipf, 0.8. MiaiuaifPi Squadron, Yazoo Rives. \ Much 10, via Memphis 4 Louisville, Mar, 13; J To San. Gideon Welles Secretary of War: IJmye been pretty well assured for some time past that the ladianola had been i blown up, in consequence of the appear ance of a wooden imitation mortar which sunk with their batterieß. The mortar was a valuable aid to us, It forced away the Queen of the West, and caused the blowing up of the Indianola. - The fol.owing is an aocount of the affair taken from the vioksburg Whig of the sth inst.: The destruction of the Indianola; we stated a day or two since. We would not enlighten our readers in regard to a matter which was puzzling them very much, We allnded to the losb of the gunboat In dianola recently captured from the enemy, we were loth to acknowledge that Bhe had heen destroyed, but such is the case. The Yankee barge sent down the river last week was reported to be an iron clad gunboat, the authorities believing that the monster would retake the Indianola immediately issued an order to blow her up. The order was sent down by the commander to the officer in .charge of the vessel; a few hours afterwards another order was sent down countermanding the first, it being ascertained that the mon strous craft was only a coal boat, but be fore itreaohed the Indianola she bad been blown to atoms; not even a gun was saved. Who is to blame for this folly, this.pre oipitancy? It would really seem as. if .we had no nse for gunboats on the Mississip pi, as a ooal barge is magnified into a monster, and our authorities immediately order a boat that would have been worth a small army to be blown up.
