AND 141110:c QEBOOD MTELLI6IDIOI Fire on Wood Street. On Friday night, about twelve o'clock, fire, was discovered issuing from the third and fourth stories of the extensive tobacco - irerehouse of W. & D. Rinehart, Nos. 149 and 161 Wood street, above ;Virgin alley. No fire had been used in either story, no flues extend through them and the boiler islocated in the cellar, so that the Messrs Rittheart seem_fully jastified in the belief] 'that the building was set on fire. Being in the central part of the city the steamers were early on hand and in a short time the fire was literally drowned out. Some of the stock wastrembved before it was in. lured, bat thelk of it was so thoroughly drenched that it was permitted to remain until morning. The injury by water was much greater than the loss by fire. For a time the buildings on either side were in danger of_falling a prey to the flames, but - fortunately-they did not take fire. Messrs Schmertz & .Blelskely, oil and lamp dealers, next door above the factory, will sustain some loss from breakage and waste of oil, as almost their entire stock was re moved, the lamps and other gpods being piled - up in the First Presbyterian Church yard, opposite. They are insured for $l,BOO or $1,600 in the &Ma, and will actually fose nothing, though'the inconve nience and delay will be annoying. The Maisie. 'Rinehart had on hand a large stock of leaf and manufactured to bacco, worth not leas than $30,000, which was more or less injured. With, care and attention a part of the damaged goods can .be so far restored to theirorigmal condition as to bring almost their value. 'The ma chinery is somewhat deranged but none of it destroyed, and can be put in operation in a few weeks. The stock is insured .for 416,000, viz: Insurance -Co. of the State -of Pennsylvania; $2,000; Hartford, $3,- 000; North Ainerican; $2,000 •, Pitts burgh, 2,000; Liverpool and London, -.5+5.000. -It is thought this will cover the loss. The building, _which belongs to -the heirs of Thomas Hanna, is damaged , considerably, but the insurance, $2,300 in the North American, will more than pay for the repairs. Some of our citizens worked Untiringly, fearing •that the fire would communicata l to- Schmertz & Bleakley's oil store and then extend over the whole of that part of the city. Tokens—Copper, Brass and Pa- it was not our intention to make any farther comments upon the subject of the tokens 'now so generally circulated as cur rency, preferring to let the law take its course, but the following paragraph, from 'the Dispciteli of Saturday, compels us to j put ourselves "right on the record :" "It will be observed that all parties who have issued tokens, either of metal or pa per, including bridge companiek and the proprietors of two newspapers, are equally culpable, and we understand others beside Mr. Shaw will be prosecuted." Now, we wish it distinctly underetsood that the Post is not one of the two news papers referred to. As a matter of princi ple we are opposed to paper issues, par ticularly those known as "shinplasters," ' and, much as we were inconvenienced by a want of pennies in making change, we desisted from issuing tokens of any kind, brass, copper or paper, and we now have our reward in the consciousness that when others are about to be prosecuted for violating the laws, we have noth ing to fear, while our neighbor of the Ga zette, so constantly prating about loyalty_ and denouncing those whose " arp,a4c/ 118 tend to dapmooiato---elm- -verrErn,• must take its chances along with those who seem to be the genuine " Copperheads," if •'by their fruits ye shall know them," and the Chronide is obliged to defend itself for issuing pasteboard promsies to pay of one cent each, redeemable in supis of five cents. Bat, as we have said before, in alluding to this subject, these issues seem to have met with kg objection until they were made the subject of speculation—and here we may indulge in a little reminiscence. When the' scarcity of small change was first felt here our butchers formed an association and issued lithographed scrip, in sums of five to fifty cents. Each member, on depositing with the Treas urer the fall face of the scrip, with a percentage added to cover expenses, was furnished with a limited amount of the currency, which, being perfectly sound and convertible at pleasure, even became popular and was once at a premium of three to five per cent. But some persons opposed this measure as a violation of law,and a prose cution was instituted against the Treasurer of the association, resulting in" the with drawal of the scrip from circulation. A rear Itsses - sand we find the leading spirit in what many then considered a persecu tion, one of the chief parties (it not the ostensible head of the combination) to this petty speculation in brass tokens, the .chief merit of which seems to be that when they cease to pass current no one is bound to redeem them. Such is the consistency of some of those who under take to regulate our affairs, financial and political. We understand that Mr. Shaw intends protieeating all parties who have issued tokens of any kind. If this be true we hope to see all treated alike and if there be principals and tools, let both be brought up—for the violation of law is as flagrant in one ease, as in the other and if punish ment, is to be meted out it should be visited equally upon all ,nrga.c,ed in the business. Convalescent Soldiers,. "About five hundred Convalescent sol diers, belonging to Majoi General Burn side's corps, arrived fiom the East on Saturday afternoon and, after being fed by the Subsistence Committee at City Hall, proceeded Westward to join their corps. They belong to various New York, Penn sylvania and New England regiments, and have been gathered up from various hos -pitalsi All seemed in pretty good health and tine spirits. Consolidation.

Emma Waller. Those who admire splendid acting will be pleased to learn that this great artiste has found it possible to prolong her en gagement at the Theatre for six nights more. This was unexpected, both to her self and the management, but we do not hesitate , to say-it will prove most gratify it/a to the play-going public. Numerous inquiries, having been made at the box office of the Theatre, whether Mrs. Waller would repeat her great character of 'Meg Merriles' in the play of.l Gay Manuering.' Manager Henderson has been induced to repeat that beautiful musical drama this evening, (Monday.) As it will be the last representation during Mrs. Walleres en gagement those desirous of witnessing this powerful productiotV should avail themselves of the chance.

Croniger,mei aenger, in the banking hone() of Messrs. Hanna, Hart dr, Co., left the office, on the'l corner Of Third.and Wood streets, with a large Itmonnt of money. to ship by ex press: The book was so full that two packages, of $6OO each, had to be carried by the messenger in his pocket, bat he had not walked. a square until a man ap proached him from behind, and, seizing one of the packages, ran down Dianfond alley. Mr. Chroniger followed in hot. pursuit, and was close upon the thief when he dodged into the Waverly House. He was followed inside, and into the topmost story, where he locked himself in a room. Mr. Chroniger informed the proprietor of the house what had taken place, and got him to guard the door while he (Mr. C.) called the policeman. An officer was summoned forthwith, but on opening the door the thief was not to be found. He had escaped through a window, and got upon the roof—a lady on the opposite side of the alley having keen him on the top of the house. The affair created a good deal of excitement, and although the po lice made a thorough search of the neigh borhood, they failed to get any clue to the whereabouts of the audacious scoun drel. Four or five persons were arrested and taken to the Mayor's office on suspe cion but none of theta could be identified as the thief, In a Critical Condition. A few weeks since we noticed the ar rest of two or three young men ou a charge of riot at the beer hall of John Schlaurer, on Liberty street, near Virgin alley. It will be remembered that he was struck on the head with a stone, inflicting a very se rious wound. We learn from hie physi cian, Dr. Kern, that he is now lying in a very critical condition, having erysipelas of the head. This disease, of itself, is very dangerous, and baying been: developed under such adverse circumstances, it may result in death. The assault was made upon' Sehlaurer, it is alleged, because he refused to give beer to a party of young men who were under the influence of liquor. Important Decision. The following is the opinion delivered in the habeas corpus case of Jno. M. Hen derson, on Friday, by Judge McCandless. We publish it as presenting some novel features If this case presented the single (ies lion of the irregularity of the enlistment, the Court aonld have little difficulty in de ciding it. The fact of minority is estab lished, and the right of the relator to the services of his son is admitted. But grave eonsiderations,ofa public character, arise, to which all others of a domestic nature must be subordinated. The proofs show that Johe M. Henderson was enlisted iu the month of August, 1861,,in the 11th Pennsylvania regiment, Col. Conker, that he was born on the 4th day of August, 1843, and at the date of his enlistment he waeabout eighteen years of age. He par ticipated with this gallant regiment in the battle of Fredericksburg, was taken pris• oner by the enemy in the bloody engage ment, was removed to Richmond and sub sequently paroled. Upon hie arrival with in the United States lines, he was ordered to Camp Parole at Annapolis, Maryland, from which he departed without leave, and was recently arrested by a Provost guard near his father's residence, in West moreland county. It appearing also that he was mustered into the service without the consent, and against the wishes of his father, he would be entitled to his dis charge,but for the reasons which the Court will briefly proceed to assign. The country is at war, and as the world acknowledges, "the greatest civil war known to the history of the human race." Although a rebellion, it has assumed such huge dimensions- xvith,sit_ war, that the Government have been compelled, from motives of humanity, to treat it as such, and to apply to it the rules of civil:zed warfare. It has also been so recognized by the highest judicial authority of the country. As the Supreme Court of the United States say, in that great opinion recently delivered by my Brother Grier in the prize case, "the parties belligerent in a public war are in dependent nations. But it is not necessa ry to constitute war that both parties should be acknowledged as independent nations or sovereign States. A war may exist where one of the belligerents claims sovereign rights as against the other, who claims aright to renounce their allegiance and are in rebellion against their soy ereign, "Insurrection against a government may or may not culminate in an organized re bellion, but a civil war always begins by insurrection against the lawful authority of the Government. A civil war is never solemnly declared; it becomes such by its accidents—the number, power, and organ ization of the persons who originate and carry it on. When the party in rebellion occupy in a hostile manlier a certain por tion of territory, have declared their inde• pondence, have cast off their allegiance, have organized armies, have commenced hostilities against their former sovereign, the world acknowledges them as belliger ents and the contest a war. They claim to be in arms to establish their liberty and independence, in order to become a sov ereign State. while the sovereign party treats them as insurgents and rebels, who owe allegiance, and who should be pun • ished with death for their treason. "The laws of war, as established among nations, have their foundation in reason, and all tend to mitigate the cruelties and misery produced by the scourge of war. Hence the parties to a civil war usually concede to each other belligerent rights. They exchange prisoners and adopt the other courtesies and rules common to pub• tie or national wars." Belligerent rights, then, being conceded to the insurgents by both the Executive and Judicial Departments of the Govern ment; let us see what is the usage and Lisradio of _nations as established by public w in cases of prisoners of war. avage nations put them to death. Da. ring wars of the middle ages a ransom was substituted. Only with the last cen tury or two was the mild and humane sys tem of exchange introduced among the polished nations of Christendom. lir. Wheaton tells us, in his volume of Inter national Law, page 393, that "cartels for the mutual exchange of prisoners of war are regulated by special convention be tween belligerent States, according to their respective interest and views of policy. "Sometimes prisoners of war are per mitted, by capitulation, to return to their own country, upon condition not to serve again daring the war, or until duly ex changed. Good faith and humanity ought to preside over the execution of these com pacts, which are designed to mitigate the evils of war, without defeating its legiti mate purposes. Breach of good faith, in these transactions, can be punished only by withholding from the party guilty of such violation the advantages stipulated by the cartel; or in cases which may be supposed to warrant such a resort, by re prisals or vindictive retaliation." - And in VatteLls4, we find that these cartels, or military agreements, are held to be Of sacred and of public obligation. A prisoner released on his parole enjoys the comtort of passing the time of his cap tivity in his own country, in the midst o f his family; and the party who-have released turn rest as perfectly sure of him as if they had him confined in irons. "Sodiptison- ers are dismissed on their parole—bound by promise not to carry arms for a certain I time, ordering the continuanc e ofthe war. And as every commander, necessarily, has i a power of agreeing to the conditions on which the enemy admits his surrender, the engagements entered into by him, for saving his life or his liberty, with that of his my th are valid, as beiDgmade within iiiArtatiattiliateimi, aOliiiiovilpil. .:- - ) losit • , i i iiiitowiekki***Oi '" easilogalicoud them."

The relator must yield his natural and domestic claims to the public exigency, to the higher claims of the nation, and when his son is in attitude to enable the Govern ment to comply with the cartel of their military officer, his rights, as a parent, will be properly regarded. This may save his son from the danger of immediate exe cution, should he, in future, by his rash ness or misconduct, fall into the hands of the enemy. The parole or.promise he gave was for his good, his liberty, and &Alto' a minor, it is binding upon him independent of public or political reasons. (2d Kent, 269.) As the regiment in which he fought was one of the most distinguished in the Pennsylvania line, and as this court is of opinion he is, by law, entitled to his dis charge, after exchange, if there be no ma terial accusation against him, we refer him favorably to the Secretary of War. John M. Henderson is remanded to the custody of the U. S. Provost Marshal, to be returned to Camp Parole, Annapolis, Maryland, there to await theorder of the War Department for exchange as a pris• oner of war, and the relator is ordered to pay the costs of this writ. The case was argued by Mr. Keenan for he relator. and by Mr. U. S. District At orney Carnahan for the Government. Running Race on the Tapia. We underttand that the articles were signed on Friday for a match between the two well known running horses "Syren" and "Honest John." $5OO a side. "Syren" is the property of Mr. Clark, of the Ninth ward, and is said by judges to have a line turn of speed. We are not aware that we have ever seen him, en that we can only speak of him from report. 'Honest John" is an old stager and well known here. He is owned, we believe, in Greene county. The race is to be ran at Union town, two mile heats, with one hundred pounds up, subject to the rules of the tong Island track. Two hundred dollars of the money has been put up, and as the horses are thought a great deal of by their respective backers a large amount of money will no doubt change hands on the race.—Chronicle. Coinage or Niokels. The number of nickels coined at the Phil adelphia mint last week was 35,0te which is at the rate of $27,50 per annum. The Philadelphia Inqui; er commenting upon this, says I "If the nickels mined had been so many eagles the amount would have reached the snug sum of about $ l OO,- 000,000. This is a commentary on the capacity of the Mint, as it takes the same amount of time and labor to make a nickel as it does the most valuable coin manufac tured. The transactions at the Mint be yond the coinage,of nickels do not amount to much at present, Very little gold is being converted into curren'.y, owing in part to its present scarcity and high pre• mium.

Nrw• inns, April 26..—The steamer Ful ton from New (Means via key West, ar rived here at noon to day. She got aground on her passage down the.Missis• sippi, remaining eight days and leaving the bar on the 19th. The New Orleans Era, of the 19th, the only late paper received, gives On account of the late army movement. On the morning of the 17th Gen. Banks had reached Vermillionville, after a hard fight at Vermillion Bayou, where the reb els had posted batteries and infantry, but were driven from their position, after hard lighting, with considerable loss on both sides. A letter in the Era, dated above New Iberia, April Gth, states that Col. Kimball, with the iw3d Massachusetts, entered the rebel works at Bethel Place, on the morn ing of the 14th, planting our flag on the parapet, Gen. Weitzel's division foil , -- TEirietels left numbers of their dead unburied and evidences were plenty of bloody work in their ranks. Large stores of ammunition, some Enfield Giles and other stores were captured. Our army then marched through Pattersonville, akir rnishing continuously and reaching Frank lin on the 13th. Prior to Thursday night some thousand prisoners had been brought into Franklin, captures of whole compa nies of rebels being made at a time. At Franklin the steamboat Corine was cap tured with three officers of the late gunboat Diana on board, thus restoring them to our service. The rebels also destroyed tea steamboats to prevent their falling into Gen. Banks' hands, and also two large gunboats and the Diana. Included in the destruction of these boats were immense stores of provisions, twenty thousand pounds of bacon and a thousand cases of ammunition. PlTMl3uni; IG It was reported that Gen. Banks would capture Opelousas on the 18th and oceenpy it. The expedition of (ien Troyer had been eminently successful, and in a battle with the rebels at Irish Bend, the 13th Con neticnt regiment charged the rebel line and batteries. supported by the 26th Maine, 25th Connecticut, 12th Maine and 91st New York, and defeated them, the rebels leaving asilk flag and other trophies in our hands.
