The store ship Lexington sailed yesterday for Texas. She has on board 600 troops ; 250 six-cham- bered rifles; 500 single do; 1200 muskets; and a large quantity of ammunition. Annexed is a list of her officers : Francis B. Ellison, Livut. Commanding ; Classon ; Pa ieut, John J. 1 Midshipmen, Benj. 8. Gautt, Master ; neton B, Woolsey, Frederick W. Edward F. Tattnall ; Passed Assistant Surgeon, John J. Abernethy ; Acting Purser, F. I, Fleming. We have received trom one of our correspondents the following account of the embarkation of the troops on board the Lexington :— ‘ Governor’s IsLanp, Sept. 2, 1845. This has been a busy day on Governor’s Island— some five hundred troops leaving for Texas—the en- thusiasm and joy that seemed to lighten up the | countenances of the soldiers, and as thejear-pierc- ing fife, and the spirit-stirring drum sounded in their ears, their souls seemed in arms and eager for the fray. Lead ns on to victory was the cry that animated every heart. It was a singularly interest ing scene that transpired about half-past two o’clock, when the soldiers were all ready to em- bark on board the war sloop Lexington. A large body of troops remaining upon the Island, escorted them down to the steamboat that was to conve them on board the sloop; the parting scene—bid- ding farewell to their companions in arms—was Kanon aly pathetic ; though unused to the melting mood, the tear silently trickled down the cheek ot the weather-beaten soldier. Atthis moment the drum sounded its marshal notes, which closed the parting scene, and as the vessel sailed from the dock, the lond huzzas sound- with great enthusiasm by those that remained on shore. While these warlike preparations were going on, and almost every soldier was anticipating the plea- sure of meeting the enemy of the country, there wasone, ashe marched dowa toward the vessel, had lost that fire of soul that animates the soldier in prospect of war, and he thought to be a soldier in peace and a citizen in war, was by far the most de- sirable, and as he saw there was bat half an hour, and he hould be on the way to the tented field, he lost his courage—his warlike valor was gone.’ At this moment arrived un officer, and imparted to hyn the glad tidings that he hada writ ef habeas corpus and that he must come with him to the eity, where, esterday, the brave young soldier was discharged by Judge Ingraham, under the advice of J. F. Rob- inson, Isq., lis counsel, and permitted to go home and see his mother, and relate his hair-breadth escape. We have no further intelligence of importance by the southern and western mails. We annex all that has been received :-— {From N, Orleans Bee, Aug. 25.] The steamer Neva, has been bought by G vernment, | at Cairo, for the sum of $7,00@. She has ‘arrived at our whart, and is to proceed to Aransas Bay forthwith. The Neva draws twenty inches water, and will suit admira- bly for a lighter. We learn also that the steam schooner Augusta, Capt. Gillett, has been chartered to carry horses, &c., to Aran sas Bay. Captain Gibbons of the ship Suviah reports :—Left the anchorage off Aransas, on the 16th instant. The steamer Monmouth, came off and reported that there was a rumor ashore that war had been declared by Mexico. Captain G. confirms the loss of the schooner Swallow. General Taylor had left St. Joseph's Island for San Patricio. On the 20th instant, 100 miles west of S. W. Pass, saw schooner Mary Wilkes, Captain Docker, from this port, for Aransas Bay, with Go. vernment stores, horses, kc. 18th instant, saw schr. Ed- S. Lamdin, from New Orleans for Aransas, with Govern. ment stores. Yesterday morning, five companies of Col. Dakin’ new regiment of Volunteers for Texes, were reviewed in Lafayette Square, by Gen. Gaines, accompanied by his Stafl. The Lone Star Guard, which organized in the 3d Municipality on Saturday, mustered at the same time, together with several companies of the Irish Brigade, under the command of Lieutenant Carrigan. After the review, General Gaines briefly addressed the gallant fellows, and complimented them highly on their efficien- cy in theirnew duties. Colonel Dakin responded in a sew words, after which the whole body, comprising 257 men, all told, marche | down St. Charles street to Poy- dras, thence through to Camp, down to Canal, passing down to St. Charles, and up again to Lafayette square, where the companies separated. The majority of the men, though unaided by the outward display of military uniform, yet appeared made of such eeu ay will prove them to be no easy foe to conquer. May they be victo- rious in all their engagements. (From the St. Louis Reporter, Aug. 25.] “Itis evident that the Mexican Government has been tampering with the Camanches, and perhaps other tribes. It is, therefore, the duty of our Government to authorise some citizens of Missouri, in whom all have confidence, to raise a suflicient number of volunteers, to overawe the Indian tribes, protect our traders, take possession of NewMe.ico andti.us interpose an American armybetween the Indian tribes aad tue Central Government of Mexico. ‘There is no other economical, expeditous und safe mode of defending our western frontier. The first regiment of Dragoons is now on the prairies, and, when last heard from, was at Fort William on the Arkans The U. 8. forces hitherto stationed at the different forts on our wes- tern frontier, have been ordered into Texas, and we must depend on volunteers for frontier service. Indeed, io other class of soldiers should be sent on a military expe- dition against New Mexico. We can depend on men accustomed to prairie life. They can endure the fatigues incident to the campaign, know how to obtain supplies for the troops on the march, understand the mode of deal- ing with the Indians and securing their good will, and many of those who will volunteer are familiar with the face’of the country to be traversed and the Soames to be invaded. Such a movement as is suggested, will be of the utmost importance. It will prevent Mexico from concentrating all her forces on the Texan frontier, and calling the Indians into use against us. It is a precau- tionary or defensive operation, which should commund the instant attention of the President. Let action be prompt.” Farmers Club. Sept. 2.—Sunsecr or Discussrox, “ Prerazation or Grounp ron Wuxat Cnov.”—This being one of the periodical days of the meeting of the Club, a less than ordinary assemblage of the farmers were called to order by the unanimous appointment of Mr. Townsend, of Astoria, as chairman, and Mr. Meigs, as secretary. ‘Tie unusual absence of members may be attributed to the circumstances connected with the uncertain tenure of the room in the Institute—the occupation of the farmers in the saving and preservation of their crops, and the or- ganization of the systems requisite for the approaching Fair. Few, under these contingencies, assembled. Notwith. standing, the usual hour devoted to desultory remarks, was perhaps profitably expended, about the disease in potato, which still seems to distract the attention of the Club, and which, from the evidence of the chairman, would seem perfectly imaginary. Mr. Meigs read a translation from the Highland Agricultural Society of Scotland, showing the progress of this disease in Bohe- ria and other countries. A desultory conversation fol- lowed upon the nature of the animalculs that penetrated the most robust fruit trees, and amongst other remedies proposed, a chemical solution of molasses was recom: mended. Then ensued a dissertation on the apple moth, by which it was proved that every female bug lays thirty eggs—that the worm is long, and has sixteen feet. Some- body said that ten tons of turnips contain one ton of dryed food, the oil being only three or four ounces in a ton weight. Then the potatoes were discussed again, and it was positively proved by the chairman that neither his neighbors or himself had any cause to complain. If | any disease exists, the cause rests with the climate.- This discussion was protracted until the period of the re- gular subject, but so few were the members, and so cir- cumscribed the knowledge even of that few, that the “Preparation of ground for wheat crops,” was consigned to the tomb of all the Capulets, and the peculiarity of the soil and climate for the growth of flax, recommended as the theme of the next discussion. There were not more than twelve members present, and certainly the time of the elub w: xpended without much profit to the publie, the press, or the reporters. Professor Mapes attempted to impress many useful and important facts in connection with the miscellaneous theories advanced, but Mr. Meigs overruled all by his well known dogma, that deep digging, even to seven foot, was xthe only remedy for barren soilg New York, Sept. 2, 1845.

I have not been able to ascertain the names of those brought in, or how deeply they are implicated. | This evening the Otsego company arrived, under the command of Captain F. A. Bowles; they mustered about 90 men. Notice having been sent to the adjoining towns that the Governor had declared the county in a state of insur rection, and that a new force was to be orgamzed, a large number of the yeomanry of our county assembled here on Thursday to offer their services. The number | desired was obtained long before the list of volunteers was exhausted.

Let it be settled, that the enormous expense which must grow out of this trou- ble is to be assumed and paid by the State, and old Dela- ware, however painful the duty, is willing and ready to attend to it in person. There are, as nearly os I can ascertain, now upwards of 70 prisoners in custody, and a posse is now out in Mid- dletown aad Colchester, under the command of I = rick Steele, a brother of Bob Steele. He is a Lieutenant in the U Army, and obtained leave of absence and ar- | rived in Delhi @ few days after the murder of his broth- er. The Coroner's Jury is still in session. During my absence, | understand evidence has been elicited, ampli- cating many of our most influential citizens. It has also been proved, that a large party of down-renters assem: bled ut Bloomville in March last, for the purpose of king an attack on Delhi, They expected to meet at Bloomville a regiment from Schoharie; then to march openly to Delhi, tear down the jail, set the prisoners at li- berty, and amuse themselves by burning the village at their leisure; or to use their own language, Delhi was to be “turned into aturnip patch.” At that time our vil- lage was amply guarded, and would have defended itseif successfully against any reasonable force; and the very men Who Were concocting this hellish plot and carrying it into execution, were untiring in their efforts to inculcate the belief throughout the village and county that Delhi was in no danger—thatthe posse was a useless and child- ish expense; and they’ even came in and proposed a compromise, after assuring us that they were about abandoning ‘their disguises, and purposed no further resistance to the execution of p to unuer ni, that by delivering up to the authorities every man who nad appeared disguised and armed, con- trary to the act of January 28th, 1845, since the passage of that act, burning their disguises and paying their rent, s they could compromise, and in no other way. Two can- non, loaded with nails and ball were kept In the street, £0 planted as to rake it in either direction, and every part of the village was guarded—“every house was a fort, and every window a port hole.” ‘The down-renters find: ing their efforts to throw us offourguard unavailing, and deeming an attack under these peculiar circumstances rather a hazardous experiment, abandoned the project altogether, and Delhi waked up next morning looking: much more like a fortthana ‘turnip patch.” Since commenced this, a part of Steole’s posse have re- turned bringing five prisoners, ‘The remainder of the posse are vtill back with five more prisoners. They were all arrested ata place called Dry Brook, where @ number had concealed, and it was supposed, had fortified themselves. A number of blankets were found in the woods concealed under large rocks, The place is in a wild remote part of the county, where they hoped, no doubt, to elude the vigilance of the posse. Dev, Aug. 30.—The grand jury for the Common Pleas was drawn last week, and like that previously drawn forthe Oyer and Terminer, is composed of the right kind of men—men who will not swerve from the high path of duty, either to protect their friends, or to avenge themselves upon their enemies. Evidencewas yesterday elicited before the jury, throwning additional ight upon the dark plot of the down renters, and placing some more prominent men in rather unenviable pose tion, It seems that the officers of the town of Middie- town, in returning the list of jurors from that town, struck off every up-renter, and returned none but na- tives. Lmade a slight mistake in my last in reference to the posse, 100 of whom, it seems, are from Unadilla, Otsego county. The prisoners mentioned in my last as having been taken by Steele, were brought in last night in the night—I believe five in number. Most of the day has been spent in selecting officers to command the seve- ral companies lately organized. The Jury is stillin session. Troy, N. Y., Aug. 22, 1845. Caseof Green, the Murderer—Efforts for his Es- cape, §c. Asmall remnant of the “ merciful,” headed by afew of the hang-hating clergy, and unrevoking politicians, are making the last desperate effort in behalf of the unfortunate Henry G. Green, now awaiting, in the jail of this place, the execution of his sentence for the murder of his wite. Notwith- standing the well known mulish obstinacy of the Executive, when his interference is sought in cases so clear, itis believed by these no-hang drivellers that there is influence enough “ behind the throne,” if rightly exerted, to get the sentence of the prisoner commuted. At any rate, no stone will be left un- turned, or argument unused, opposed to capital puny ishment, and, in favor of Executive clemency, in this extreme case. We are expecting such journals as the News, Tribune, &c.,to chime in and ring their accus- tomed changes, and think they must be waiting an invitation. Come, gentlemen, it’s your duty to speak out, and begin now, (not wait until the day arrives,) if you are opposed to capital punishment upon prin- ciple. We have already been told much here at home; but what is most relied on, and most fre- quently dinned in our ears, is this: If there is no more mercy shown us in the latter day, than we show one another, our case willbe even more terri- ble than we sometimes hear it depicted. Specula- tion of that sort we can stand easy enough, but when they come to bolster up their doctrine with idle de- clamation and historical untruths, it is time to look around. 4 , ah Green has powerful and influential friends who, no doubt, will do to the last what they can for him. ‘That is natural and justifiable, although there can be no rational doubt in their minds as to his guilt. In- deed, it would be hard to find ten persons in the en- tire county who believe otherwise, and less sympa- thy for any poor unfortunate creature could not pos- sibly be pumped up. Yet, afew compassionate souls, who have “a poor opinion ‘of the law,” when i comes to be executed, are trying to move heaven and earth fora reprieve. I need hardly add, we have no idea here they can possibly get one, and that public opinion would not sanction it. lt may be interesting to many of your readers to learn how the young man who neh e weed upon his hat and drummed upon the railing with his fingers during the trial, and when the most tearful testimony was given in against him, bears himself, since the im- portant fact has been established, once on a time, | that money will not always save aman. He did not appear to realize his situation until he reached the jail, atter sentence, when he was much atlected. He gave full vent to his feelings, and has scarcely been upand dressed since. | = How well prepared he is to meet his fate no one knows. He used to be a member of some church, I believe, and in good and regular standing, and is occasionally visited by the pastor of said church. Manvractures in Mancuesrer, N.

C, Parxnson, Esq., District Attorney. Serr. 2.—Trial of Leonard R. Hodgkins for Murder.— ‘The prisoner was arraigned at the last terin of the court, for the wilful murder of Jesse Lee Burtis,. (a young lad aged about 17 years) on the ——- day of February last. The prisoner is a genteel looking lad, about 14 years of | age, and was respectably dressed. ‘Daniel Livingston, impleaded with him in the indictment on the same charge, | took his place beside the prisoner, and sat_with him du, | ring the trial, Both seemed to have suffered a good deal from their long confinement, und were looking pale. After a vast consumption of ‘time in swearing a jury— several onthe jury panel having been set aside onthe round of entertaining conscientious scruples, Ending © verdict of guilty in cases of murder whon death would be the pe sworn :—Parmenus Doxy, foreman; Thomas Bennett, David 8, Draper, Garrett’ Burgess, ‘George Bacon, id: ward i. Senior, Peter McLaughlin, Charles Shanard, James Rochford, Edward Lampson, Martin Benedict, James H. Stephens Mr. Pareeson hereupon opened the case. The young man upon trial was acquainted with a young lad named Jesse Lee Burtis; and it would be proved in evidence, that they were seen together on Sunday, the 23d Febru- ary last. They would be able to show that the step-fa of the deceased returned from his business on the 22d F bruary, and placed a sum of money in his bureau, amounting to about $100. On the following Sunday, the step-father and deceased went to church together, and after returning from church,the boyafter sometime went away and never returned. The step-father, Mr. Barker, subsequently examined his bureau, and found that about $100 were abstracted from it. They would be able to show that the deceased, Burtis—who was a lad of about seventeen years of age—the prisoner at the bar, and another, named Livingston, were seen together on the 2ith and 25th of the sume month, and were together | at a house in eoth street, taking refreshments and drink- ing. It would be shown, that the prisoner, Hodgkins, and Liviagston, went to hire a boat to go up the Ea viver; that they left in a boat, in company with the de- ceased, after making a bargain for hire of same, and in the antime, getting some refreshment in the shape of pies ‘he facts would be found material in the eourse oi the trial. The boat was hired from a man named Smith.— The three proceeded down the river in the boat after some delay in getting a stone anchor. ‘This was Smith’ s last sight of them until he found his boat ata place called the “Novelty Works” in two days after they had left.— They never returned the boat to Smith. They would be able'to show that Hodgkins denied having seen the de- ceased after the 23d February ; and could prove he was with deceased on the 24th and That he went to a man named Woodworth, previous to his starting in the boat,and asked him for a piece of jackline, that would keep long under the water, which excited the suriosity of Woodworth, who asked him what business he had of the line, to which the prisoner replied, he wished to drown a dog. In relation to the pies, they would be able to show that they had purchased some previous to leav- ing in the boat, and when the body was discovered it was ascertained that raisins were found in the stomach, which by chemical analysis it could be proved had only been there for about an hour, as they were not sufficient- ly digested. The pies they purchased contained raisins- he head was severed from the body, the trunk remain ing, and the hands were mutilated The step-father told the Coroner previous to the postnortem examination, that if it was the body of his son,a certain mark would be discovered onthe left foot. These were the main facts of the case, which was to be disposed of solely upon cir- cumstantial testimony, upon the nature and character of which he would take oceasion to dwell very fully 1m his summing up, as circumstantial evidence was often more | important than direct testimony. He hoped the jury would discharge their solemn duty without fear,favor, or misplaced leniency. Josern D. Bakken, (step-father of deceased), was the first witness sworn, and examined by Mr. Paterson.—I reside at 63 Orchard street; | have a family, and had a step-son, named Jesse Lee Burtis; the last time I saw | him was on the 23d February; he is now dead, as I be- lieve; he went to church on'the 23d of February; I lost | Some $100 on the evening of that day; they were taken out of my bureau, the drawer of which was unlocked; I saw a piece ofcake onthe top of the bureau; sometime afterwards, hearing that a body was discovered near Blackwell’s Island, I repaired there, and identified my son’s clothes, which he wore on the last day I saw him ; 1 did not then examine the body, which I ordered to be sent to the Alms House at Bellevue; I told the Coroner tne next day about a mark on the leit foot, ota which I could discover if it was the body of my son; the Coroner examined the body, and found the scar; I then recog- nized the body; I recollect distinctly I if the body s my step-son’s a scar would be discovered on the foot; I viewed the body, and recognized it as the body of my step-son; there was no head onthe body—it was merely the trunk; | discovered it was the body of my son only by the scar uponthe foot; | never saw Hodg- kins until the 25th; Tasked him about my son; he said he saw him with me for the last time, on the 23d, going to church; this was on Tuesday evening; | went to the Station House No. 10, and desired Captain Thorn to send for Hodgkins; | went from Hodgkins to the Station House, direct; two of my brothers were present; the prisoner came there; he denied having seen my son af- ter the 23d of February; I went to 86th street, on the 26th | February, and learned they were together at a tavern there, on the 24th February; in the interview at the Sta- tion House, Livingston was present, and he acknowledg- ed that Burtis and Hodgkins, and himself, were together on Monday,; but Hodgkins denied that he was with them on Monday; Livingston then said to Hodgkins, “We might as well own it, as not—they have got wit- nesses to prove we were together on Monday;” Captai ‘Thorn asked him how it was that they did not agree in their account; Hodgkins did not reply; | next saw Hodg- kins near Kipp’s Bay and Bellevue; he was in company with his father; he said they could not geta boatto search for the deceased; this was on Tuesday; Hodgkins acknowledged on the Wednesday following that my son, Livingston, and himself, were together on Tuesday, sitting on the church stoop; my next interview with him was at the Upper Police; he then said they went out on Tuesday onthe river in a boat; I asked Hodgkins where they went with the boat. Cross-evamined by Mr. Pusnix—My son was tallerthan the prisoner; he left our house before this circumstance onaSunday; when deceased last left,1 am not aware that he had’ any misunderstanding with my wife or my daughter; I am sure my bureau was locked; I had the key in my pocket; | missed my money on Sunday even- ing; the doors of the house were locked; | recollect having gone to 85th street; 1 know a lad named Barr; J went to see him; this was after my son’s death; my son was ata public school, No. 9, Mr. Ketchum’s school; | did not hear that a report was current in the school, that my son stole the money; I advertised about the robbery on Monday, and again on Tuesday; I did not mention names; | did not wish to expose the boy: I was told by a boy named Wright that Barr could give me informa- tionabout my son; when I went to Barr, | got no infor- mation from him; | then met Hodgkins; he said | would find my son at the second avenue; | charged Hodgkins and Livingston with having participated in the robbery ofmy money. [The affidavit of this witness charging the prisoner as “an accessory after the fact,” in the robbery was here put in and read by Mr. Phenix. It was dated sth February. The prisoner was arrested on the afti- davit, and examined at the police office. He was dis- charged.) I never knew the boys, and never saw them until Tuesday evening. Avrnevs Mrrsrono examined by Mr. Parrrson—I was assistant keeper on Blackwell's Island in February last; I was passing on the river on the 18th May, and saw a body floating on the water; I brought the body on shore and ‘gave notice of it to the head keeper; there was no head onthe body; | found it floating near 6lst street; there was some clothing on it; I should think it was the body of a boy; Itowed it ashore; there were convicts with me in the boat at the time; | made no search in the pockets. pofonn A. Sarr, examined by Mr. Paterson.—I keep a boat letting establishment at 3oth street; | know the pri- | soner at the bar; I saw him on the 25th of February last; | he was in company with two others; they came to hire a boat from me; I did not like to hire it to them at that time year;I hired the boat to them; in about au hour after, | ld them it was unusual to hire a boat at that season; they said they wanted to go for pleasure on an excur- sion; they said they wanted some provisions; | told them I would get them some milk and some pies; the girl got them for them; they went away in the bout; 1 told them if it turned out to be stormy, to leave the boat in some place where I could get it; they then got started, and said something among themselves: they said they were going to Newtown Creek, and as they intended to stop, they should have an an- chor stone; [ let them have one; it was a large paving stone holed; it weighed about 35 pounds; I told them, 11 they wanted to go to Newtown Creek, they ought to take the steamer; they said they went partly for plea- sure; after starting, they went in a contrary direction from what I expected; they did not return, and I went in search of the boat; I found it near the Novelty works; the anchor stone was taken away; | found the oars there also; they never came back to me about the boat after they took it away; I saw the prisoner afterwards in jail; | Tyota dollar bill for the boat and the refreshments; | know not what sort of pies they got; there wa i be | steamer launched on that day, and they went below the steamer; my name was branded on the oars; the oars | | were leit in the Novelty yard; the name was partly tched off. bane ay testified that he belonged tothe Novelty | Works, watchman; saw a boat near the Novel- | ty Works in nary last; mer was launched | there about that time ; 1 was on duty on the night I di | covered the boat ; the oars were in the boat ; there w: no anchor stone in the boat; it was tied to the doc! that’s all | know about i James Gattacnen testified he was Cig ed asa la borer at the Novelty Works, and saw the boat by the light of a Janthorn, in company with the last witness, on the night in question.

Police Captain Hixam Txoxx, sworn.—Examined by Mr. Parexson.—The first time | saw Hodgkins was at the lice office, in the presence of Mr. Barker. We went to jarker’s house, and Hodgkins said tu Mrs, Barker he had made no arrangement with her son to go to Boston with him. After this, went to Mr. Jennings’ house; nothing transpired there worthy of note. I met him on the Mon- day following, and we had a conversation. 1 told him reward was offered about Burtis, and as his father was a poltoreans if it was in his power, he ought to putit in his way to getthe reward ; said nothing at the time. | I told him there was much noise about the matter. He told me that on the Monday when the reward was offered > he (Hodgkins) and deceased were together at a house at 86th street, Hurlgate, when the paper contait the ad- vertisement about the reward was shown to deceased, and that he laughed at it. I saw Hodgkins and Living! ton in the prison theirarrest. Hodgkins first denied | having séen Burtis at all ; he subsequently admitted h | had seen him.

I saw the . i e stomach contained rai- sins that were not digested. ‘The body bore marks of his having come to his death ty. drowning.

Exemption Law.—An important decision was delivered at Utica by the Supreme Court, in relation tothe Exemption Law in the case of Quackenbi Danks, at the last term of the court, which was in thatcity. The cuse was brought up from the Onondaga Common Pleas, It appeared that Danks sued Quacken- bush inrepleyin in the court below for taking a horse and harness. In January, 1837, one Fitch recovered a judgment egainst Danks in the Supreme Court, in an ac- tion uponcontract, for $8385. In January, 1843, an alias fiert facias was issued on the judgment, and delivered to Quackenbush, who was a deputy of the Sheriff of the county of Onondaga, who took the property in question by virtue of the execution, and for that taking the action was brought, Danks, the plaintiff, claiming that the property was exempt from execution by the act of 1842. ‘The plaintif’ was a householder, and (beyond the horse and harness in question) had no property but such as was exempt from execution by laws passed prior to the act of ‘The plaintiff drove another horse with the one in question, but it Pelonged to another person. He worked by the day, and used the team for the support of his family. The defendant insisted that the law of 1842 did not apply to then existing contracts, and if it did, that it was unconstitutional. The court charged the jury that if the team was necessary to the support of plaintiff's family, the Pfesaagee was exempt from sale on execution by virtue of the act of 1842. The defendant excepted. ‘The jury found a verdict for plaintiff, assessing the value of property at $65, on which judgment was entered. Cingy Jvstic® Bronson, in delivering the opinion of the Court, took a long review of the statute of 1842, known as the exemption law. In the course of his re- marks he took occasion to say, that it was insisted by the plaintiff below, that the exemption law of 1842 a »liedto executions for debts w before the law was pi This is denied by the de fendant. But if the plaintiff prevails upon that point, the defendant then insists that the statute is unconstitutional, on the ground that it is a “law impairing the obligation of contracts.” Under the old law, many enumorated ar- ticles of property, when owned by a householder, were exempt from sale on execution, and from distress for rent. (2 R. S. 367, 82, and p. 501, § 10.) Then came the law of 1842, which provides, that “ in addition to the ticles now exempt by law from distress for rent, or levy, and sale under execution, there shall be exempted from such distress, and levy, and sale, necessary household furniture and working tools, and team, owned by any Beneide being a householder, or hav- ing a family for which he provides, to the value of not exceeding one hundred and fifty dollars.” (Stat, 1842, page 193, section 1.) There is a proviso to the section; butiit has no bearing n the present enquiry. The plaintiff had no property which was not exempt by the old law, except the horse and harness in question; and that property was subject to levy and sale on exe- cution at the time the debt to Fitch was contracted, and his jndgment against the plaintiff was recovered. cee the plaintifl’s construction, the effect of the law of 1842, in this particular case, has been to withdraw the whole of the dehtor’s property from the reach of the creditor. That may not, however, affect the principle. If, after the debt has been contracted, any portion of the debtor's property can be exempted from the creditor's execution, 1 see no reason why the exemption may not be extended to the whole estate ofthe debtor, be it large or small. After commenting on the statute, the passage of which relieved the debtor from the former nalty of imprisonment for non-payment of debt, His Honor referred to a decision of Chief Justice Torrey in the case of ronson vs. Kinzie,” which fa- vors the opinion that “‘ the necessary implements of agri- culture, or the tools of a mecha’ r articles of neces- sity, or household furniture,” may, “ like wearing appa- rel,” be exempted from sale en execution. This is not going far enough to include the plaintiff's horse and harness, but | shall lay no stress upen that considera- tion. If the question turns on what is “ necessary” for the debtor and his family, the learned Chief Justice will find it impossible to stop with the articles he has men- tioned. The husbandman stands in as much need of a farm as he does of the “ implements of agriculture,” and “ household furniture” is not more essential to the head of a family, than a house to live in. The mechanic warts a work shop, as well as the tools of histrade; the lawyer must have a library, and to all classes, money or property with which to purchase food and raiment, is yy heedfal as anything else, And besides, what would be sufficient for one man, would be little thing to another. The “ necessity” of one maj fied with the exemption of Property to the val hundred and fifty dollars, while ten times that amount would not satisfy the urgent wants of another. There is, [ think, no well defined middle ground between hold- ing that none ef the debtor’s property can, by a subse- quent law, be withdrawn from the reach of the credi- tor; or else admitting that the whole of his estate may be exempted ‘rom sale on execution. In the case be- fore us, the exemption law saves all to the debtor; but y opinion would be the e if it had only saved a it Such property as was subject to execution at the time the debt was contracted, must remain subject to execution until the debt is paid. As to future obliga. tions, the legislature may make the exemption as broad as it pleases. It may abolish credit altogether. But it cannot legislate backward, and annul the force of prior obligations. In relation to the dictum which has be mentioned, | will only add that it virtually ov ruled by the decision in ‘‘ McCracken vs, Hayward. long as that case stands, the exemption law of 1342, when applied to past transactions, cannot be supported. udgment was accordingly reversed. Creat Careiessness.—We are informed by Captain Chas. Weaver, of the schooner Joseph M. Warren, that in passing West Point on his way up,a number of musket balls, fired by some of the cadets,who were practising at a target, pasted through the rigging and sails of his vessel. ‘he Joseph M. Warren was in company with ffive or six sails sloops and schooners, which received similar favors, the crew of one ef them being obliged to run below for safety. ‘This occurred between 5 and 6 o'clock in the mor pRon the 28th ult., and when the vessels were abreast of the parade ground.
