There has been no land- | ing in force on any of the islands below, as reported. The skirmish on Seabrook’s Island was between a few independent scouts and a scouting party from a Yankee gunboat.’ It is stated that the Dispateh's accountis of 4s hours later Charleston date than the Erami- ners, and if so we shall soon receive stirring news from that quarter, But the despatch | frem the Zzaminer would seem to have refer- ence to the Courier's statement quoted by the Dispatch.

CRIMINAL COURT. —_—~.>—_ Chief Justice Carter’s Charge to the Grand Jury. a Their Attention is Specially called to the Law to Prevent Frauds on the Govern. ment and to the Treason Bill. eee This morning the Criminal Court organized in the court-room, and proceeded to business. There was a large attendance of persons hay- ng business with the court, as well as specta- sts, and the bar was fully represented. A few moments before 11 o'clock, Chief Justice Carter and Justices Wylie and Fisher (the lat- ter is to preside over the court at its present session) entered the court-room and took their seats on the bench, when Deputy Marshal Phillips opened the court in the usual form. The Grand Jury was called, and all but three answered to their names. John Mar- bury, jr., Was Sworn as foreman, and the other jurors qualified. Judge Carter delivered the following charge: Gentlemen: You have been selected and sum- moned to appear at this time and place, as the grand inquest of the District of Columbia. It is the prevince of the court to give such in- structions as may aid you in the discharge ot your duty, You are aware that by an act of Congress, approved on the 3d du ot Mareh, 1863, (he Circuit, District,and Criminal Cuurts tereto- fore existing have been abolished, and in lieu thereof, this the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia has been established. ules of the Grand Jury in ordinary times o plainly specified in the oath which defines your obtigations of daty, us to dispense with the necessity of comment. T reter you to that oath and the laws defining shing crimes, aud ty tae councils of Striet Attorney, to which you are enti- ued without further instructions upon the subject. t his own use and benefit, and those who shall wrongfully and knowingly sell, convey or dispose of any ordnance, arms, ammunition, clothing, subsietence stores, money, or other property of the United States furnished or to be used tor the military or nay@l service of the United States, >. Those who, being cortractors, agents, pay- masters, quartermasters, or any other person whatsoever having charge, po: sion, custody or control of any money or other public prop- erty used er to be used in the military or naval service of the United States, shall, with intent to defraud the United States or willfully to conceal such money or other property, deliver or cause to be delivered to any other person having authority to recrive the same any amount of such money or other property leas than that for which he shall receive a certifi- cate or receipt. (In o-her words, those who take false vouchers for fraudulent purposes or make false delivery upon true vouchers ) 9 Those who are authorized to deliver any certificate, voucher, receipt, or other paper certitying the receipt of arms, ammunition, provisions. cloth, or uther public property, #0 used er to be used, who shall make or dejivar the sume to any person without having fall knowledge of the truth of the facts therein stated, and with intent to cheat, defraud, or injure the United States. to. Those who shall Knowingly purchase or secure in pledge tor any indebtedness from any soldier, officer, or other person called into or employed in theservice of the United States, any arms, equipments, ammunition, clothes, or military stores, or other public pro- perty, such soldier, officer, or other person not haying the lawful right to pledge or sell the same. Any person who shall commit either of these crimes within the District of Columbia is liable to be punished by fine or imprisonment. Thus it will be seen by the provisions of this important act, ail persons in and out of tha military seryice, including attorneys, claim ugents, and all other persons who transact business with the Treasury, the War or Navy Departments, and even with officers and soldiers, are safe only when pure and upri-ht in their transactions. If fraudulent or dis- honest, they are likely to become liable to one or more of the stringent provisions of this criminal statute. In addition to the foregoing statutes there are others which relate toagraver class of offences. Irefer to the statutes against treason. The United States statute of April 30th, 179), pro- vides that “if any person or persons owing allegiance to the United States of America, and shail levy war against them or shall adhere to their enemies, giving them sid and comfort, within the United States or elsewhere, and shail be thereot con victed on confession in open court, or on the testimony of two witnesses to the sume cyert act of the treason wherenpon he or they shall stand indicted, such person or persons shall be adjudged guilty of treason azgainet the United States, and shall sufer death. Concealment of knowledge of treason (misprison of treason) is by the same act punished by fine not exceeding one thousand dollars and im- prisonment not exceeding seven years. By the statute of January th, 1 corresponding with foreign governments or with any officer or agent Uercof with intent to influence their contro- versi: with the United States, or to defeat the of this gorernmen! is declared to bea high misdemanor, though not calied treason, and is punishable by a fine exceeding five thonsand dollars and imprisonment during a term not less than six months nor exceeding three years. So the law has stood during this current cen y- Among the chief provisions of the law ap- proved July ith, 1562, are these: Section 1. Lersons committing treason shail sutfer one of two punishments: Ist. Either death and pardon te his slaves; or 2d. Imprisonment not less than five years, fine not less than ten thousand dol- lars and pardon to hisslaves; the fine to be col- lected out of any personal or reai except sia Section 2. dneiting r engaging in it, or aiding those who do so, is punishable by imprisonment more than ten years, fine not more than ten thousand dollars, and liberation ol slaves. The language of this section is as follows: “That if any person shali hereafter incite, set on foot, assist er engage in any rebellion or insurrection against the authority of the United States or the laws reof, or shall give aid or comfort thereto, or shall engage in or give aid and comfort to any such existing rebellion or insurrection, and Le convicted thereof, such person shall be punished by imprisonment for a@ period not exceeding ten years, or by a fine not exceeding W000, and by the liberation of all his slaves, if any he have, or both of said pur- ishments, at the discretion of the + Cuurt.” It is important that you should haye clear ideas of what is meant by “giving aid and comfort to the existing rebellion.” This offence may be committed im yarious ways—as by sending arms, ammunition, provisions, cloth- dug, or merchandise, to those who are in rebel- lion; by giving them information in relation to the military affairs of the Government; the number, position, or moyements of troops; the construction, armament or destination of armed vessels; or by sending newspavers, letters, or messages conveying information which may be useful to rebels in ther warlike movements; by encouraging or assisting in procuring de- sertion trom me army or navy: by opposing or effectively discouraging e tments; by op- poring the enforcement of the laws for the en- rolment of seldiers in the forces of the United St > by running or att bl ade with goods centraband of war; by reaking through, or attempting to break through the lines of eur arm for the pur- pose of carrying on illicit t h the enemy or with persons in the rebellious districts In short, whatever ur: strengthen the rebellion, to end ‘ance to the rebels. to dishearten or dis- age the loyal citizens of the country, to ebels any assistance Whatever, ure with- in the purview of the statute. Your careful consideration of this statute is demanded by the times and by the place in which you are called on to aid in the adminis- tration of the constitution and the laws. This District is situated near the heart of the rebethon, Itwas here {within the sonnd of my voice that the first dark plottings of trea- sen Were inatured. Itv in this cit, yor- der capitol—that the arch traitors devised their schemes of natiounl! dismemberment and ruin. It was here that men who had for long years lived upon the public treasuary—men who haa borne the highest offices and who had sworn to support the constitution and laws of this country—officers whose golden epaulett:s were paid for by money they had received from the Unitod Siates—others, who had been educated at the public expense,—one and ali of them, Tne present disturbed and anarchal state of || with the awful crime of perjury upon their the country has opened tacilities ter crime against the Government hitherto unpunished. The rebe.lion which brought on the war has developed crimes threatening the exist:ace of the Government, which crimes have recently ; been provided against by Congress by penal statutes sanctioned by high penalties. The tribunal derives its existence trom and the exercises of its powers under the constitu- tion and laws ofthe United States. Its judges, officers and attorneys, owe allegiance to that Government, which all-giance they haye testi- fied by the official oath they haye taken, There is no higher exercise of fidelity to the country than tosee that the laws fer its preservation and purity are respected. In pursuance of this duty, I proceed te call your special attention to the various crimes mentioned in the act entitled “An act to pre- vent and punish trauds upon the Government etthe United States, approved the 2d day of March, 163. I purposely omit all offences therein ferbidden whencommitted by persoas in the military or naval service, as your in- vestigations will be chiefly thouzh not wholly confined to offences under this stutnte con- mitted by persons not in that service, that is to say civilians. According to the provisions of that statute all prrsons not military men are liable to indict- ment and punishment who shall commit either ef the foilowing offenses. Viz: 1.

This city stands on the border line between loyal and disloyal States. There are still left among us many whoif they are in any sense loyal love their country with a divided heart. There are some xmong us, it is feared, who are traitors. There are others who aid and com- fort the rebellion. It is therefore of the utmost importanee to the whole country that the capital city of the Union should be free of any taint of disloyalty. It is an important step towards restoring pablia peace and tranquility that all who aid and as- sist the enemy should discontinue their offenses or be punished according to the law of the land. The faithful performance of your duty ia muking inquiry into all such offenses will be no less honorable to yourselves than importaat to the country.
