EPORTER IN Rerty to Mr. Dav- communication to the Star, dated 27, Mr. Davidge says: “The eine bich appears in your paper pow prin trooeedt ich puget won ios Ly case. so well calculated to pr the public, that I can- not allow it to pass oticed.** Of course, after such a commencement, we expect him to state why the said publication onl: “purports” to be a ‘correct report,”” and why it “‘calculated to mislead the public.” He does no such thing, but undertakes to argue the merits of the case. He says ‘‘Mr. Barney is at common law the guardian of Children.” Who denied it? That “the controversy is not of bis (Mr. B.’s) seeking’ Who said it was? That ‘He (Mr. rod not asking letters of ip, but de- tain anything to the contrary? And so we might go on and answer each sentence in two long para- ep which constitute the main portion of Mr. *s communication. je then ce * publication of these ‘ vouchers’ may ad- minister to a morbid and prurient appetite for ——, but re no a = Pro 'y and reputation of every man depen: a a for the cetablisbed’ rules of evi- dence. But especially in a case like this, where the charges brought against the father, even if re- futed, must darken the lives of his innocent chil- dren, it was to be supposed that you would at least confine your report to the evidence in the case, namely: the contents of the lowa record and the ny, of the witness Alexandrine.”’ Why was {t to be supposed so? Theconductor ofa oe ga a is generally presumed to be the sole judge of what \s proper to be published in his paper. These specifications Mr. Davidge ad- mits are filed, and they are therefore as much a part of the case as the indictment would be in a fi Lease. Nobody pretends to say that they the charges to be true, any more tha: ndictment before a court proves criminalit how could acriminal trial be reported without teference to the indictment? No intelligible re- port of this case could be made without referring to the specifications. Mr. Davidge knows, if he has read them, that they contain worse matters than — reported in the Sthr, and that they refer to certain vouchers numbered 1,2and3. Howa legal pa can refer to certain other papers, if those other papers have ae Cuan) existence may be ptly _ toa I mind, but is not so plain to the limited ca; ty of areporter. Sup- cc for one moment, Mr. Dssug, eation of pub- ishing only the lowa decree and the evidence of Alexandrine bad been carried out, the Star’s readers would bave known about as much of the questions involved as if so many words taken at random from a dictionary had been printed. Mr. Davidg pecan ‘* | might well complain of the general tone of your report of this trial and the spirit of prejudice which pervades it, as well as the blunders into week yom reporter has fallen ”’ The Reporter has learned enough law from Mr. Davidge during the progress of the case to be aware that it is not proper to arraign any one ov general sweeping charges. Why does Mr. D not show the prejudice and point out the blun- ders, instead of arguing those features of the case which bave certainly not been ventilated in Court since the reporter has been there. Lieut. Barney sent the reporter a sy per, on which was written (referring to ecolay’s pro- ceedings,) ““ Your report was correct with one exception. I am full Lieut. since 1857. See Atty Genls. report.” Unpr-judiced persons pre ent, jn Court, have — of the general correct- mm f the report of the next day’s proceedings. It was not perfect, no human production is, and the reporter is himself aware of several triflin; errors, such as printing ‘10 o’clock”’ for ‘ o’clock,”” “served” for “sewed,” &c., which would ndt bave occurred if he had seen the “proof.’? The Reporter can certainly plead not gay on the charge of prejudice, as until last week he knew nothing of the case, and was personally acquainted with none of the ies concerned, neither Lieut. Barney nor Mr De Krafft, nor the counsel on either side. With due deference to Davidge, is it presumption in the Reporter to suggest that =a aa D.) may be jast enough prejudiced as jarney’s counsel to think of a strictly impartial report that it leans a little too much to Vother side. Mr Davidge concludes: +‘ But I forbear to say more than that the dlleged suppression of ob- scenity has given color to acharge of which I have yet to see any jot or title of proof” Why should he speak of “the alleged suppression of obscenity’? when he knows that that portion of the evidence which was omitted was not of achbar- acter fit for publication; and if the suppression has given color to a charge of which | (Mr. D) have yet to see any jot or tlitle of proof,” no one regrets it more than the Star’s reporter. ie (the reporter) earnestly bo; the aske of Lieut. Barney, for the sake of bis ‘innocent (Interesting and intelligent little) children.” and for the credit of human nature, that the ‘‘charge” alluded to will not be sustained.

The “* Gambler’s W ife,”” by Miss Radcliffe, was realiy an exquisitely beautiful performance, exhibiting great vocal as well tragic talent. The sweet singing of “Erin my home,’ by the Misses et, awoke many slumbering reminiscences, and made many « beart sigh in the remembrance of brighter psf happier days; and the solo and chorus ‘Come !*come! come by little Mary Hanty, and the airy Bay,” by Eddy White, were charmingly sung.

Dorsey Barron, of the First Ward, was appointed on the police in the fourth pesetiecr (tet Ward) in place of Charles Boaman, declined, and Fred- erick Williams in the seventh precinct (Fourth Wad) in place of F Depro. Authority was granted to the President of the Board to make a requisition on*the Secretary of War, through the [nterior Department, for re- volvers with which to arm the police. On motion of Mr. Brown, it was ordered that the superintendent call on the magis'rates having money in hands collected from fines for sellin; liquor to soldiers, and for similar violations o| 1 A for Lat ymees! and et hereafter = rie aoe shall be paid to a police officer, who shall depos! it with the treeeurer for the use of the United States. The President was directed to call on the Mayor of Washington for a sufficient appropriation to erect station houses in the several wards. and to repair the two lock-up houses now used in the First and Sixth Wards, and for warming and lighting the same. It is thought that $3,000 will be sufficient for this purpose, which, under the law, the city has to provide for. On motion of Mr. Gideon, the President was directed to apply to the Attorney General for com- missions as magistrates of the county of Wasbing- ton for the commissioners and superintendent. The Board then adjourned to meet on Thurs- day next at one o'clock. The regular meetings of the Board will take place hereafter every Thursday afternoon at one o’clock. Buanep to Deatu lay afternoon Coro- ner Woodward summoned a Jory of, inquest at the residence of Joseph Hill on street north, between Fourth and Fifth, to inquire into the death of Avis Hill, the wife of Joseph Hill. The body was found lying upon the floor and literally burned to acrisp, and presented a most horrible spectacle. The testimony elicited the fact that on Saturday night the deceased, who was about twenty-elyht years of age, went to a dance or party with her friends and returned about 3 o’clock Sunday morning. She was left alone and went up stairs to her room. Soon after the next neighbor heard a faint scream, and some one run down the stairs. No attention was paid to the matter n the morning her husband, who is employed ss a watchman at the Government depot, old ‘‘Assembly Rooms,’ went home and found the door locked, and supposed his wife had gone tochurch, and as was usual, bad left the key withaneighbor. He went forthe kev and was told she had not been there. He returned id gota little boy lad 4 in through the window, and thus made the discovery of her death. A candle nearly burnt out was standing upon the floor in her bed room, and it was supposed that when she was about to undress ber skirts took fire from the candle, and being of thin material the were consumed so rapidly that she was envelo in flames almost immediately. The jury returned a verdict of accidental death. CrntRraL GuaARDHOUSE CasEs—Before Justice Thompson —Sunday—Jobn Zimmerman, drunk; fine and costs, $2.94 James A. Tooker, dis- orderly; dismissed.

Camp THomas {is the camp occupied by the First District Regiment, Col. Tait, so named in honor of tbe U.S. Adjutant General, and located on Meridian Hill. The view from this elevation is unsurpassed, taking in at a ylance the whole city, with Alexandria, and the thousands of tents over the Potomac. The eat is arranged in admirable order, and everything wears an air of exceeding neatness and comfort. The grounds are swept as clean as a gravel walk, and the deportment of the men r ts high credit upon their officers. Discipline is igidly enforced, and those who, hitherto una med to restraint, were wild and reckless, are rapidly becoming steady and obedient, under the firm hands of their superiors. The regiment ts papas filling up, and will soon rival any regiment of equal advan- tage at the seat of war. It is now attached to Gen. Stockton’s brigade, and bas been expecting marching orders for several days, the brigade baving moved off, leavigg one other regiinent temporarily under the command of Col. Tait. Post Mortsm.—The body of Mr. Alexander Scott, (formerly clerk in the Third Auditor's office, whose death at the house of Laura Smith, on Eleventh street, and the subsequent inquest, were noticed in the Star,) was taken to his hom: in Newark, N.J., and subjected to a post mor- tem examination previous to interment. No traces of his baving taken laudanum or chloroform were discovered, but his stomach was found much in- flamed, and his liver in bad condition. Firg.—Saturday night, about 12 o’clock, a frame stable on A street south, between First and Second, was burned to the ground. The building ‘was doubtless fired by an jncenliary, anda ry juspected as the patty party. The stable con- tained a horse and harness, which were rescued the horse slightly scorched. The stable belonged to Mrs. Homans. Pistot Sto-en.—Lieut. James V.

AFFaIRs train T JEFFERSON CITY—ARRIVAL OF THE ERS CAPTURED AT LEXINGTON. Jz On City, Sept. 23 —Passengers report everyining. quiet at Georgetown. Gens. Sigel and Davis are there directing operations. All the Federal officers captured at Lexington have been released upon their parole of bonor not to take up arms unless exchanged. Some of the officers have arrived bere, and all have left Lex- ington except Col. Mulligan, who remains to settle up some business. He is not wounded, as reported Among the officers who have arrived are the following of Col. Marshall’s Cavalry — it from Lexington: Major Jenkins, Ca oster, Waters, Burnoss; Lieuts. Proctor, Knight and Blair. They left Lexington on the morn! 2g of Thursday, and to their knowledge up to thal time Gen. Price bad not started any ion of his rod in this direction, though it could bave been lone. Captain Foster thinks that the rebel force bas been increased by accessions from the country to at least forty-two thousand. He represents that men were flocking in from ail quarters. We have beerd nothing definite in regard to Ben. McCullough’s whereabouts. The rebels told Captain Foster that his force was ten to fifteen thousand. The officers think that McCullough is moving towards Jefferson city. A few members of ex-Governor Jackson’s old Legislature had assembled at Lexington and passed an ordinance of secession. They were discussing an act for the confiscation of the propecty of all citizens oppposed to the Southern Confederacy. Other acts of a very severe charac- ter were also under consideration. General Fremont is at Jefferson city, and Gen. Hunter and his staff called on him to-day to pay their respects General T. L. Price bad been ordered to take the field, but bis brigade not being in readiness, be will probably remain in command here Col. White, supposed to be mortally wounded at Lexington, is recovering. LATER FROM MISSOURI. Jxvverson City, Mo., Sept. 29.—General Pope and his staff are here, and Col. Mulligan and his staff officers, it is rumored, will arrive to-morrow. All intelligence is kept very close mnce the arrival of Gen. Fremont, who gors to camp to- morrow. He will leave probably, on ‘ruesday or Wednesday next. The opinion seems to be gain- ing ground that the rebels intend to remain at Lexing‘on to prepare for a general engagement. Many persons say that if: Fremont is ic and rapid in his movements that he can cut off Gen. Price's chances of escape and obtain a bril- Mant victory. War Movements in Kentucky. Lovisvitix, Sept. 29—Five hundred t from Terra Haute, indiana, have gone up Green river, Kentucky, and taken possession Locks Nos. 1 and 3 on the Canal. A regiment-f caval- ty from Obio have eae into camp near Coving- ton, and Cynthia, Ky.,is occupied by Peder troops. National flags are displayed atthe Louisville Hotel and at the Galt House Seven secessionists, among them James B Clay and Col H.C. Harris, of Medison, Ky., were brought here to-day under arrest as State prison- ers. A writ of habeas corpus issued in Clay’s case S made returnable before Judge Catron on Mon- ay. 1t is reported that some of Buckner’s men at- tacked the Union camp on Mud river, forty miles from Bowling Green, under Col. Hawkins. The rebels were badly whipped and the Union men were coming to Col. Hawkins’ aid from all dl- rections. A Diuschar; jayette Prisener at Buaxineton, N. J., Sept. 28 —Col. James W. Wall, who had been committed to Fort Lafayette, and who was released a few days since, returned to this city, bis home, last evening.
