(Correspondence Philadelphia saguirer] | HEADQUARTERS AEMV OF THE JAMES, Novy. 1S.—The amicabie relations which have been 80 long maintained on the entire front of this army were mterrupted at about half-pasteight o'clock last night on that part of our line be- tween the James and Appomattox rivers, by & partially successiul attempt on the part of the enemy to surprise and capture our picket line. Indeed it is thought by some and also as- serted by prisoners who feil mto our hands, that the attack had a more eerious design, be- ing made in bope of capturing the strong lune ot works extending across the angle between the two rivers, which covers our pontoon bridges at Bermuda Hundred, and forms the connecting link between the Army of the Poto- mac and the forces north ofthe James. Could they have succeeded in this purpose, it would certainly have been & serious matter, and slight as theirchances were, it is j possible they may have thought the object of sufficient im- portance to justify an attempt. Prisoners who make the allegation just *poken of, assign as the reason for the failure of the plan that a considerable portion of the troops destined for the enterprise were con- scripts who could not be induced to advance ether by threats or persuasion. The attack was made at @ point near the cen- tre of our line, and the force engaged in itis aid tobave com) two brigades uf Kich- etts’ Division. They approached in entire si- lence, through a dense tract of woods in our front, and, making & gap in the line, passed through and got in the rear of it, almost be- fore our pickets had any intimation of their presence. The latter, thus taken surprise, ‘were thrown into some confusion. The number captured by the enemy is stated Bt about sixty. Among them were Colonel Kauffman, of the 200th Pennsylvania; Capt. Beede, ofthe 12th New Hampshire, Assistant Adjateat-General of Volonel Porter’s Brigade, and Lieutenant Charles Towle, of the Twelfth New Hampsbire. Lieutenant Joha P. Lane, of the Twelfth New Hampshire,was wounded thrones — but not seriously. me joa en and but few slight! wounded, while, as a partial offset to oat Joss in prisoners, we captured fifteen from the enemy.

Miller_—In the case of Justice N. H. Miller, the Chief Justice said that the Court had unanimously come to the conclasion to remove him, His Honor then proceeded briefly to Tecapit- ulate a few of the reasons influencing the Court in_its determination. He remarked that here were two strangers from a remote quarter of the earth, (Egypt, which was unrepresented in this country by any diplomatie or consular power,) visiting the Capital of this nation. Having no official representative of their own nation here, they had a right torely npon the judicial fanction- aries of this country for protection. That was what these tribunals were created for and not for the purpose of deception and peculation. It appeared that these men desired to carry back Eales where oer propored temporarily to sojourn before finally completing their citi- zenship in this country, the evidence of citi- zenship. They conceived the idea that a pass- port would avail them in travel (o8g they were correct in this view, for up to the time of our troubles, and even now, the passport of an American citizen was a guaranty wherever civilization existed.) With this very laudable desire, and totally ignorant of our laws and language, they appealed toa sergeant by the name of Morrita. He, undonbtedly for mercenary purposes, flatte ned their desire, and encouraged themin the belief that they could get the protection of an American passport. They had declared their intention to become citizens, but frankly admitted in the clerk’s office through an in- terpreter that they had been in the country but two months. ‘This sergeant, aware thatit would require two years residencein this country before a passport could be obtained, and anxious for purposes of hisown, to have it appear that these men had resided here the necessary length of time, went to the office of this magistrate tor the purpose of securing & certi- ficate of citizensnip, recognized by other na- tions as essential to pretection. A certificate to be obtained not with a view to practice im- position upon a foreign power, (for the certifi- cate of the magistrate would not have been worth the blank paper, abroad) but tor the pur- poce of imposing upon our government, and thus causing it to become the participant in a deliberate fraud. The Court regarded it as immaterial whether this magistrate did or did not know in the be- ginning that these men were not entitled to a passport, he knew, or should have known that it was not his business to administer extra ja- dicial oaths, or to make extra judicial certifi- cates. Had he acted in the character of a citi- zen merely. without attempting to drag the cnaracteristics of his office into it, the case would have been different But what was worse, when an enquiry was instituted into the contents of the paper, it was tound he had certified to what hedid notknow. The Court could find no justification for the act. In experience had been pleaded in exten- uation, but inexperience always rendered a man, when he intended to do right, timid, and led him to look for authority sustaining the act proposed. In experence with a disposition to disregard the limitations of right never stopped to coneult the obligations of duty, or the au- thoriry of the law. (Ctearly, in this case, Justice Miller did not know whether the men had resided one or two years in the United States. He not only did not know it, butit appeared tothe Court that he took no steps towards ascertaining whether it was so or not. He yielded, according to his own explanation, implicit confidence in the declarations of a man who was 60 irrespon- sible that he could not even now be found.

FROM CITY POINT—ACCIDENT TO THE STEAMEB COSSACK, The steamer Monohansett arrived here this morning from City Point with the mails and passengers. She reports all quiet when she lett, yesterday morning at 10 ovclock. Butler had regained possession of the strip of picket line taken by the enemy on Friday night, and the large fleet of gunboats has moved up to- wards Dutch Gap, as if to be in readiness should the rebels attempt any offensive dem- onstration in that vicinity. ‘The Mononansett came up in place of the regular mail steamer Cessack, which ran into a schooner on her downward trip. After get- ting away from the schooner, the Cossack ac- cidentally ran aground near Maryland Point, when it was discovered that three holes had been knocked into her bottom, just above the water line, in her collision with the schooner. The steamer Guide came to the relief of the Cossack, and took off her mails and passengers and conveyed them to Fortress Monroe. It was a fortunate circumstance that the Cossack ran aground, for at the time her crip- pled condition was unknown to her officers, and if she had proceeded on her way she «tloubtless would have gone down with all on voard, thereby causing a great loss of lite, as she had a large number of passengers on board.

S. gunboat Sciota, while attempting to run either mto Velasco or San Louis, Texas. She | wis said, but not proved, that he administered was laden with gupny bags and hoop iron. | an oath to ascertain the fact ot residence. If Also, by the same vessel, on the 25th ult., | he did, he administered an extra judicial oath. under similar circumstances, in the same vicin- ity, the English schooner Cora Smyser, with an assorted cargo. AlJso, of the capture of the schooner Lone, by the U.S. steamer Fort Morgan, on the 6th inst., in latitude 2+ degrees 55 minates north, longi- tude 95 degrees 5 minutes west, while attempt- ing to enter the port ot Velasco, with an assorted cargo, consisting of medicines, salt, iron, and other contraband goods. Alse, of the capture, by the Fort Morgan, on 5th i It was no part of his business to deal in such oaths. His province was to administer only such oaths as were ordained and contemplated by the law. x There was another feature in the case whick bad operated upon the mind of the Court. They found in this case the mercenary motive that always waited upon over-strained ac- tion. These men had paid Miller $5. Subse- quently a visit was made to the office of the Clerk of the Court, where 4 full exposition the , in latitude 26 de; 31 minutes | of the falsehoad of the Beacon Sp pented on ie ie eenoewer ag mract af | vosond, co thatthcre could be no mistake about hie Sensower YOu Aa e attempting | jt. Miller, with these facts before him, laid d, w! to zeB the blockade, loaded with medicines, his hands upon the certificates of citizenship of a as these men, and refused to deliver them until $20 had been paid him, Under these circumstances, the Court deemed it to be its duty to remove Miller, and they wish it understood that the main cause of his removal was for exercising extra judicial au- thority. PreRsONAL.—General Burnside is in town. No information has been received by Govern- ment positively confirming the report of Gen‘! Canby’s death, but it is feared that the repor is true. Major Hay, Acting Private Secretary of the President, bas received a dispatch from Mr, Nicolay, at St. Louis, in answer to one inguir- after bis health, stating that he is not seri- y lll, and expects to be out in a few days. See MuRpER OF A CoLoreD May.—On Satur- day night at a late hour a number of colored men were engaged in gambling in a house kept by Thomas Jefferson, on the block bounded by 15th and Mtb and O and P streets. One of the party, John Brown, as he was cslled, who was drunk, became very abusive, knocked aman down, and finally fell upon Lim while in that position. The victim of his violence drew from his pocket a billy and in- flic'ed an ugly wound on the forehead of Brown, which so enraged the latter that he jumped up, and, seizing a etick of firewood, he made an indiscriminate onslanght upon all within his reach. One of the parties returned, and fireda pis- tol at him, the ball of which passed clean through his body. Brown was taken to his heme, on K, near Tenth street, where he lin- gered until Sunday morning, when he died. His family consisted of a wife and one child.

ES SaaS Tue Cases Or Justices Kinsey AND MIL- 1.£R,—In the Supreme Coart in banc on Satur- doy, Justices B.S. Kinsey and N. H. Miller &ppeared to answer rules upon them to show cause why ney. should not be removed from office, J. E. Norris appearing for Mr. Kinsey and the Messrs. Bradley for Mr. Maller, and Mr. Wilson, Assistant District Attorney, for the prosecution. The affidaviton which the rule was issued in the case of Mr. Kinsey was made by Mr. Huguely. a county constable. and charged that Mr. Kiusey retained a pistol in his possession atier he (Mr. H.) had purchased jt, and also that he had used profane linguage in his office. Several witnesses were examined, when it ap- peared thata small white boy had been arrested for stealing a pistol from a trunk in charge of a colored man, and the Justice dismissed the boy on account of his tender years bat retained the pistol, intending to deliver it te the rightful owner. Huguely and others were in front of the office, and when the man from whose pos- Secsion it was taken was refused the pistol, Mr. H. offered to buy it for $5.50, and finally the bargain was closed and Mr. H. received an order for the pistol. Mr. H. applied to the Justice a few days afterwards and was told that the pistol had been lost. Justice Kinsey in his answer alleged that not being certain that the pistol belonged to the man, he intended to keep ita few days fer the righttul owner, and placed it in his coat pocket penne the door of his office, from which it was stolen, The following decision was made in this case: Opinion g Chief Justice Cartter in the Matter of Justice B. S. Kinsey.—In the matter of Jus- tice Kinsey, the Court have concluded to dis- discharge the relation against him. They wish it, however, to be nnderstood that in arriving at this conclusion no approbation is thereby interded to be given to the course pur- sued by either the magistrate or the constable, in regard to the transaction referred to in the testimony. ney consider the whole affair as reflecting not only discredit, but disgrace upon both parties. The official position of Mr. Kin- sey rendered him & conservator of justice, of property, and of peace; and the law clearly defines what his action in the premises should have been. We therefore infer that sinister motives must have Pipppted this departure from his plain line of duty. Inasmuch, how- ever, as itappears he bas resided in this city for 8 number of years, and has alwaya borne a good character, we do not feel disposed to visit severe punishment upon him for this one wrong.
