VIOLATING THE OATH. A short time since three brothers, named John W. Hudgins, Ohurebill Hudgins, and George W. Hudgins, deserters from the rebel army, came to this city, and after taking the oath of allegiance, were farnished with em- ployment at the Government repair shops, cor- ber of 2d and G streets. Since then they have Tepeatedly expressed disleyal sentiments, and on the day of the receipt of the news ef the massacre at Fort Pillow they justified the bar- barity of the rebels by remarking that “the United States Government had no right toarm negroes, and that they would like to have been there to take a band in it.” ‘When reminded by a fellow-workman that they had taken the oath of allegiance, one of them replied that he did not consider the oath of any consequence as it had only been read to him: The tacts of the case coming to the knowledge of Col. Ingraham, he yesterday or- dered their arrest and committed them to the ‘Old Capitol. ‘We understand that Col. Ingraham is deter- mined to put astop to the expression of dis- ae Se ae ee aesartmen| he had these men arrested for the te i ae oF making a test case, and finding out what con- stitutes disloyalty.

MORE EVIDENCES OF DISAFFECTION WITH THE CONFEDERATE GOVERNMENT BY THE PEOPLE OF THAT STATE, —_o——— New Yorx, Apml 92.—North Carolina ad- vices to the 17th instant have been received. The Governor's Council, which convened at Raleigh, declined calling the Legislature to- | gether in extra session, fearing that this would | array the State of North Carolina against the Southern Confederacy. The Hendereon (N.C.) Times, published in the western-part of the State, advises the peo- ple to keep outof the Confederate army and stay at home to defend themselves. The Raleigh Progress says the people are starving at the hotels et fifty dollars a day, and that many of the best families are on half rations. al The Wilmington Journal is gloomy at the prospect of affairs in the Confederacy, and deplores the sad Iack of food and the bad con- dition of the coming crops. The Fayetteville Carolinian laments the high prices and lack of food, and takes comfort in the announcement that several hundred Springfield ‘rifles are manufactured daily in the armory at that place for the Confederate service, ‘The report of a rebel attack on Plymouth is confirmed, but no. particulars have been re- ceived.” ‘WASHINGTON SPIRITUAL CONFER- lem ence BUNDAY P.

NEW YORK STATE MILITIA. ALBANY, April 22.—Exaggerated rumors pre- vail bere in reference to a call of the War Department upon Governor Seymour for the State militia. These rumors grow out of intelligence re- ceived here from the War Department, that State troops would be received by General Dix, for guard, and to attend to special duty in and around the harbor forts of New York, during the absence of the volunteer forces recently stationed there. The Governor has tendered to the War Department the use of the militia regiments for the defense of the forts around New York and esewhere on the frontiers. He thinks it desirable as well to relieve the regular troops detained within the State for such purpose, as to affora the National Guard 4 desirable opportunity for drill and practice. FROM THE WEST.

This building is designed so as to form the nucleus of marke; halls, in the design and construction of which the experience of Philadelphia, as well as of Paris, London and Lyons, where the most noted market halls of Europe are, have been taken advantage of, without following blindly the system in vogue in any of thuse cities, since the customs of the inhabitants and the climate of a place form the essentiai and distinctive features of a pithy architectural style and ot success in design. The northern front of the new building will face next Sth street, and will be 106 feet long; the side elevations, running from north to.south, will be 96 feet A center*part, of 65 feet in length, p: the northern front, and is crowned wit gable of 75 teet height above the level of the sidewalks, The first story will be so arranged #3 to form one great hail, and is to contain 4 flights ef staircases, atthe corners of eepallaite i to the second story. It is lighted by 6 sec- mental windows of 7 by 10 feet, in tront and rear; by 7 segmental transom lights aby re the doors, 7 feet by 4 feet; and by an opening in the floor of the second story, which is square, and is surrounded by galleries, as described Swill be had to the building by se CCO-5 ven entrance doors of 7 feet in width, as well as by eight large entrances of 10 feet in width and 14 feet high, which will, im part, communicate with the other parts of the market. ‘Water will be introduced wherever required for the business and cleanliness ome market, and drain-pipes leading off the w: ‘water will voheeee ad’ ease willbe a 6 BECOD! formed gallery 20 feet wide Bteach side and 16 et gids in square, thas suppiyin® lught and fresh air to the center ol first st ry. -Theee galleries and the roofs will be supported py cast iron Ornamental columhs.

On yesterday when Justice Thompson adjourned the case until this morning, he stated that he did not be- lieve he had anything to do with any contract between any parties as to the ssion of the wharf; but that all that should claim his atten- tion was relative to the obstructing the public trayel. Last night Mr. Thompson had an in- terview with Mr. Joseph H. Bradley, Sr., Cor- poration Attorney,and obtained from him the following written opinion, which he read in presence of all parties this morning. Mr. Ma- gee, the Harbor Master, had, under what he supposed to be Mr. Bradiey’s instructions, taken out three warrants against Mr. Gedney, the captain of the Phoenix, which was the first boat moored at the wharf, and the first part of Mr. B.’s letter is an explanation of that matter. The letter is as follows: Wm. Thompson, Esq.—Sir: If Mr. Magee un- Cerstood me as instructing him to take out daily warrants against the parties who are alleged to be obstructing the approach toSeventh street wharf, he is mistaken. I meant tosay to him that he should take such warrant as shall bring the question of the power of the Corpe- ration, and their legislation under it, fairly before the court, and I think this can be Fewia & done by the cases he has already brought. would therefore advise that one case shall be decided and the others held under advisement until that ease shall be decided by the court. As to the power of the Corporation, I have no doubt. hether they have provided by law for such a case as this, is a question to be de- cided by the court. But im my judgment, as the executive of the Corporation claims that it does cover the present complaint, the safe plan would be to decide it in favor of the Corpora- tion and iet the party appeal. In this case we have nothing to do with the contracts or disputes between the parties. They must be settled by suits between the parties themselves. The only interest of tha Corpora- tion is the public interest; the right of every veesel to approach and discharge her freight, cargo or passengers at a wharf which is subject to the regulations of the Corporation. In my judgment, under the provision of the section of the charter of 1820, this wharf is subject to such regulations, and no part of that power is more important to the public, as connected with the police power, than that to regulate the approach of vessels and the time and manner ot landing or taking in their cargo or passengers. It is thought this is covered by the act creating a Harbor Master, and it is very important to have that question judicially settled. Iam, sir, &c., Jos. H. BRADLEY, Att’y, &c. Justice Thompson then gave judgment against the detendant, Mr. Samuel Gedney, upon the first warrant issued in the sum of $30. An appeal was taken, and Mr G. gave bond in the sum of $100. Defendant and others of the Potomac Com- pany purchased some time ago the steamer Collyer, and they claim that with it they pur- chasea sole right to use the wharf in questien. The sum paid is understood to have been 231,000—$28,000 for the boat and $3,000 for wharf improvements. The old line claim that they have a right to the wharf by virtue of a lease. Mr. Gedney still has the Pheenix tied up to the wharf, and the opposition line cannot use it; and thus the matter will probably rest by mu- tual consent until the court gives a decision in the mentors which it will probably do next week. The Fulton and Thomas Collyer, of the new line, are still running between here and Alex- andria, and are carrying passengers without charge. The new company propose to have tickets which will carry passengers to and from the boat, through any part of the city where street cars run, an arrangement to that effect haying been made with the railroad com- pany.
