Clemmast, arrested by the police of Georgetown as a deserter from the Kebel army, was commiited to the (ld Capitol to- cay by order of Capt. Todd. Clemmast, ov giving an account of himsef, said he was “raised and brought up and bred aud bern and reared an educated scholar and gtaduated in D. C., atter which he was ap- pointed a private in the Second Virginia Rebel | Cavalry.” John W. Rose and Thomas King, arrested by © Capt. R. C. Perry, in charge of Government farms, were also committed. They claim to be deserters from the rebel ranks, but are aup- posed to be spies, and will be held as such. James Spellaids, sith Va. Infantry, a de- eerter, was also assicned quarter:. NAVAL OFDERS. Capt. James Alden has been detached from | the command of the Richmond and ordered to command the steamer Fort Jackzon, vice Capt. | Henry Walker, detached at his own request. Azsistant Surgeons J. W.

The difficulty bet ween the Japanese Government and the English author- | ities has been finally settled by the former | agreeing to pay the amount of money demand- ed, and the English waiving the question of the ( delivering up to public execution of the Prince | ofSatsuma’s father. It is suggested, however, that this may not prove entirely correct, asthe | day the steamer left Kanangawa was the last allowed the Japanese to decide upon acceding to or rejecting the demands of the English, and at the very last moment it is possible a decided changein the minds ofthe Japanese officials may have taken place. All business was at a standstill, and no business quotations were given. The premises occupied by the Ameri- | can Legetion at Jeddo had been entirely de- | stroyed by fireon the morning of the 28th of i May, said to have originated accidentally. H ‘The American Minister Mr. Pruyn, lost eyery- thing except the archives of the Lezation. SF The Macon Telegraph says that the list of H exempts in the State of Georgia numbers | twenty-seven thousand three hundred and tan, | exclusive of the vast number of able-bodied men who screen themselves from service as | Governor's aids, agents, conductors and guards on railrocds, and the long list of poytmasters: | snd mail contractors, and overseers throughout the State, which, no doubt, will add to the | above list twenty thousand men, thus making ; the sum total of exempts forty-seven thousand three hundred and ten in the State. ReEszt Peisoners.—On Thursday afternoon four hundred and twenty-five Confederate prisoners of war, captured at the battle of Gettysburg, and since confined in the jail of Baltimore, were sent to Point Lookout. There now remains less than a dozen Confederates in the jail. J. Camp, 3*th North Carolina, ana Lieut. Chas. Mortimore, were sent to Fort McHenry yester- day afternoon. Those lett in the jail are sick and will be sent to hospital. #7 Col. James B. McKean, who organized the gallant 77h N. Y Regiment. while a Mem- ber of Congress, and commanded it in several engagements, haying lost his health in the ser- vice, has been honorably discharged, at hi own request. The Hen. James B. McKean was known in | this city for his usctulness as @ legislutor and bis amiable and social qualities as a gentieman- @&#7 Major General Trimble, tormerly of Bal- tumor, Brigadier General Kemper, and several other rebel officers wourded and captured at Gettysburg, were brought to that city yester- day. All the rebel officers in hospital in that vicinity, who are suiticiently recovered to be moved, are to be sent immediately to Jonson's ieland, Lake Erie. S7'The candidates for the two vacant seais | in the United States Senate in Missouri are John B. Hendereon, gradual emancipationi John S. Phelpe, who beiongs to what is termed the “clay-bank” iaction; B. Gratz Brown, “charcoal,” or immediate emancip.tionist; and Gen. Ben. Loan, formerly « war democrat. A Rearite.—The President has, at thesolici- tation of a unmber of influential gentiemen, | eranted & respite of eight days to a soldier named Thompson, who was sentenced to be executed yesterday at Kelly's Ford for deser- don. 87 Parcon Brownlow, in a letter to the Cine ciunati Commercial, predicts that Gen Burn- side will have taken Knoxville before the month is out, and that, in the meanwhile. (en. Rose- crans will have taken Chattanooga. @7 The Tororto (Canada) Globe says that Thomas D’Arcy McGee got his wonderfal in- formation about the intended invasion of Can-. nda by Northern troops from Clement Ig Ya! lendigh am. S@ General Heoker is expected to resume Active service on the Ist of September, either in & separate command or as commander of a corps in the Army of the Potomac. SF The draft in New York still conunues to | progress without any difficulty, and each day lessens the probability of there being any. 7 From the publishers, Ticknor & Fields, Boston, we have The Atlantic Monthly for September, Sumner, T. W. Higginson, Lonisa M. Alcott, Rose Terry, Julia Howe, and others. Professor Agaseizs’s article in this number relates to the “Tertiary Age and its Character- iste Animals.” The following passage is the iret pudlic expression of Professor Agassiz's | views upon & subject which has lately been much discussed : “Ido mot offer any opinion respecting the ‘ toseil human so much discussed recently, because the evidence is at present too scanty to admit bd any decisive judgment concerning them. aD ‘iod assigned to it, and that asucces- sion ot by nine races, asof animals, have fol. lowed one another wu thecarth.

" eee SUSPICION OF STEALING A NEWLY HaTcHep CHICKEN.— Yesterday, officer ‘Bigley arrested Wm. Moore on suspicion of stealing a newly hatched chicken from the cage ot the compan: who hatch chickens by steam, on Eleveath street, north of the Avenue. When the case came up before Justice Clayton, the witness knew nothing about it, only that a colored man said the chickens were stolen, and sus- pected this man. The witness did not want the prisoner held: but thought fifty cents would pay damages. This aroused the anger of Ser- geant Reed, and some sharp words ensued he- tween him and the witness. The Sergeant aa- serting that all witness wanted was the fifty cents; which witness positively denied. There being no evidence, Justice Clayton dismissed the case. When Moore was arrested he was scarched, and about $14 in bozus money, seyv- eral keys and checks were fouud on him. to ac- count for which he gave bail for a hearing. a Sage eee A Haxp Party.—This morning, Mrs. Juwia Rosey, who keeps asbanty near the Columbia College, and James R.

Circular No. 70—The Case of a Father Having Three Sons. Wak DrranTMeEnr, P] Provost Marshal General’: Office, > Washington, D.C., August 1, 1563.) The following opinion of Colonel Joseph Hoit, Judge Advocate General of the Army, is published for the information and guidance ot all officers of this Bureau, y “In the case of @ father baving three 3ons— one at home, one now in the military service, and one having been killed in it-the son re- uming A&t bome is not exempt, unless his father be eged or infirm, and be also depend- ent on such son's labor for his support." Jamzs B. Fey, Provost Marshal Gen'i. Circular Ne. 73—Cate of Sous of Agedand infirm Parents. War Derartuayt, t Provost Marshal General s Office, Washington, D. C., August 20, 1363. The foliowirg opinions of Colonel Joseph Holt Judge Advocate General, are published for {he information and guidance of all officers of this Bureau. . In the erse where there are only two sons of aged end infirm parents, and boih are drafted (Clause 4, cection 2, Enrollment act.) Orion, «Where, through inadvertence or ignorance of the Jaw, aged or infirm parents, having two sons, huve omitted before the draft to elect which shall be exempt, and both have bern drafied, it seems that the right of election should still be allowed to be exercised at any time be- fore the notice to report to the Board of Earoll- mentexpires. The rearon of the rule hereto- fore established reqniring this election to be made Urfore the draft was that a different course would resnit in ‘a practical exemntion of two gers instead of one.’ This reason, however, does not apply in the case—necessarily of rare ovcurrence—w here both sons have been drafted, since whichever may be elected, one stili re- mains for the military service, which is all that the law claims or contemplates. Therea- son of the rule failing, the rule itself should be relaxed in such extreme cases, since the ob- z ject of the law will thereby be accomplished, | withont the slightest hazard of compromising the peblic interests.” With regard to the meaning of the word “labor,” in section 2 of the Enroliment act. : OriNIon. ] * Labor is defined to be ‘bodily or mental! ex- ertion.’ It may, within the meaning of the low, be either physical or mtellectual; it may be professional, commercial, or agricnitural; end each of thece forms of labor may exist un- der modifications, or in combination with each other. The means for the support of the pa- rent or widow mast be produced by this labor, whatever may be its character. It need not be wholly produced from it, but it must be main - lyso. A parentor widow receiving support from & son whose income is derived from diyi- dende or rents cannot be said to be dependent on his labor; butif that income were entirely the fruitot professional or physical toil, then the case would be clearly within the purview of the law. In mixed cases, where the income - is the product of laborand capital co-operating together, the application of the lawis ren- dered more cult. Its object will proba- bly be best secured by holding, as suggested, that in such cases the income which tar- Nishes the support must be mainly derived from the personal labor of the son. If, for example, the son be a merchant or manu- fecturer, whose business, umder his personal superintendence, yields him am annual revenue of #10,600—and such personal superintendence could not be estimaied as worth more than #3,000 per annum—it could not be said, in the sense Of the law, that his jabor yielded the in- come to which his parent looks for support. It is, it.s trae. an element in the production, but not apreponderatingone. A testmay be found in an answer to the question, whether, if the son’s personal labor were withdrawn by call- him to the military service,a support for the parent or widow would remain. If it would. nd in the case ER ses it would since his superintendence could be supplied, and the productive capability of his capital would re- Main—then the claim to exemption cannot be allowed.” Jawes B.
