Two tick ets were run—dribed the "Abolition" and "Breckinridge." The old war-worn veteran leading the former, which was partially elected, but he, unfortunatly, 'eft behind, which again verifies the 'truth of the old saw that boroughs as as well as "Republics are ungrateful"— The Commeil, which was really the most important part at issue, will be filled by five most excellent men—four republi cans and one national democrat. Whilst politics was pretended to be ignored in this domestic struggle, we still could, mot fail to observe the same old political hackneys of poi., busily engaged in bore ing almost every voter who presented himself on the park of the Town Hall grounds. But, in a word, the result is 'truly gratifying y a better Council could mot possibly Nave been elected, and we hope the newly elected officers will go on in the good work commenced by their immediate predesessors, until every sidewalk is passible and every lamp post contains a lighted lamp. We append below the names of the elected as far as we could obtain before going to press. Chief Burgess, 11. S. Libbart. Ass. Burgess, - Frederick Manila Town Council, 0. U. P. Groh, John Kline.

When Dr. Trail, in his lectures, last Summer, declared that it was absurd to say that man could break a law of God or of nature, and ridiculed the idea of vio lating the law of an omnipotent Being, I supposed his hearers would look on it as a hypercritical whim of the speaker. But I find, by a debate which was held in our Literary Society, on the 3d that his declaration is believed by some of our citizens, and defended as a phil osophical truth, and as strictly and philologically correct—and that all who speak of breaking or violating law, utter what is false and absurd. Unwilling to give up a "form of sound words," heretofore deemed correct by all writers and speakers of our language ; or to be considered as an utterer of false and foolish sentiment, I beg leave to offer a few remarks in your columns, ~showiag the proper meaning and best and general usage of the phrases in question. Of course, no one uses the words "break," " transgress," "violate," or their equivalents, when applied to laws or commands of God, in the sense of " abrogate," " annul," " nullify" or "re peal," which is only one sense of the many in which some of these words are used. By referring to any of the dic tionaries in common use, it will be seen that these words have many meanings, and that among these meanings is that of disobeying, or acting contrary to, the injunctions of law. The authorities and examples I shall adduce are from authorities not in such common use, (except the Bible,) and interesting from their rarity or quaikt ness and antiquity. Richardson's Dictionary, after giving. the various definitions of the meaning of the - word " break," says—" This word is of most universal application ( meta phorical or literal) to any separation ; particularly when made with suddenness, violence, injury." Again—" Adultery, in our old writers, is .cpiled spouse•brefch," as in Wiclif's translation of Matt. xii "Whithe an swerede and amide to hem, an yvel - kin. d rade and a spouse-breker,sekith a tokene, and a tokene sChal not be given to it; but the tokens of Jonas the profete." Among the instances given by Rich ardson are the following from old . Eng lish writers To bre.lee ys trewe covenant, the king was loth thereto, "And pathless ys conseyl hym gef that he mosto yt nede do." It. Gloucester, p. 25 "Therefore he that brekitk. oon of these leeste mandemen tie and techith thus men, gelid be elepid the least in the rum° of hevenes." Wicklif, Matt. v. 19. " Whosoever breaketh one of these commautideineuts, and teacheth men so, he shall be called the lest in the, kyng dome of heaven." Bible of 1551, -Matt. 0:19. " And breakers or the lawe, sothe to sain And likerous folke, after that they been dede, Shall, whirl about ye worlde, alway in paine Till many a world be passed." Chaucer. "As thou seest blessynges, or cursyn ges follows) the breakyng, ' or keepyng of the law of Mosses ; euen so naturally do the blessynges, or carsings followe the breakyng, or keeping of the law of nature, out of which spryng all our temporal laws." Tyndall's Works, p.lO. Under the word "violate," Richard. son gives the following examples. "'Trey saw the duinrne beaste myght lawfully bee drawen out of the hole, leste it ahoulde peryshe, witheut any violation or breathe of the Sabbath; and would is no wyse see, that it was /fire lawful! to prouyde for manses healthe upon the same day." Udal. on Mark iii: " Notwithstanding a grieuous penaltie of money being imposed upon the vio laters of the same statute." Hackluyt's Voyages. "When any thing may be eitherdone, or not done, equally without the viola tion of truth, that thing is indifferent!, Wollaston's Religion of Nature. "How do they -then challenge and object against Providence, and think neither God nor man severe enough, in punishing the violators of right and truth l" Clarke on the Evidences. .Our Common Version orthe Bible furnishes many instances of the common use (and meaning) of the.words " break,' , " transgress," " violate," and their de-- rivatives, as applied to commandment and law. We give a few. Ezra ix : 14.—Should we again break thy commandments," &c. Psalm lxxxix : 31—" If they break my statutes," ( which is explained by the parallelism following) " and keep not my commandments." Matt. v : 19—" Whosoever, there fore, shall break one of these least com muiments," &c. Rom. ii: 23—" Thou that makest thy boast of the law, through breaking the law dishonorest thou God 2" Rom. ii 25—" Bat if thou be a breaker of the law, thy circumcision is made uncircumcision." • Ezek. sail: 26—" Her priests have violated my law, and have profaned my holy things." , Zeph. iii : 4—" Her priests haie pol luted the sanctuary, they have done vitt . ence to the law." Psalm. cxix 126—" It is time for thee, Lord, to work ;. for they have made void thy law." For instances of "transgress," &c., See Num. xiv : 41, Dent. 26 : 13, Isa. xxiv : 5, Dan. ix : 11, Mat. xv : 3, J no. vii : 23, Jas. ii : 8, 11, 1 Jahn iii : 4. But it is needless to quote more.— The phrases in question are found in every writer of the language, and to strike them out would riddle oar entire literature ; and to fill the gaps with such substitutes as are proposed, would change, not only our forms of expression, but also of thought and feeling. For the same reasons such phrases as "Sabbath breaker," " law-breaker," " violations of honor, honesty, truth, right," &c., would have to be omitted. And for similar reasons, the ordinary inquiries as to health, the hour, and many other com mon and domestic phrases, must follow; and cumbrous, circumlocutory and pe dantic forms of expression take their place. The truth is, words are designed and used to express ideas and feelings, wheth er of fancy or fact, of Imagination or re ality, of poetry or prose. And to con fine ns to words which express that which is strictly, literally and philoso phically true, would banish all secondiry and accommodated meanings of words— all metaphors and poetic figures—all descriptions of the seeming, as of the rising and setting, (and other appear ances and movements) of the sun, moon, stars and other heavenly bodies. But in reference to laws, natural and moral, there can be no doubt that the secondary if not the primary meaning and usage of the words "break," . " vio late," "transgress," &c., are proper in speaking of disobedience to them. Camp Zeigla i "Kandla-C-reen.” WASHINGTON, MARCEI 18,1862.

I would advise all those interested, to preserve this list for future reference if needed, for many has, I presume, found the want of something like this for the purpose of drawing back pay, &c., from Govern. ment, due to their friends who have been in the service. Nothing of great importance has transpired since my last —troops are still moving very rapidly— to-day the Penna. Reserves move on transports. Ido not know how long we will remain here, the weather is very changeable, and a good many are taken sick in consequence. Our rations are very good—We drew our arms and so contriments—We received the Austrian Rifle, a very nice and bright piece, and not very long, our boys are pleased so well, that they are now willing to.ac quire the use of them perfectly.
