THE NEW YORK HERALD. NO. 5675. MORNING EDITION----THURSDAY, DECEMBER 20, 1849. New York City Tract Society. ‘The Ni York City Tract Society celebrated their “twenty-seventh anniversary. at the Tabernacle, last “evening. The attendance was very numerous—much ‘mnore so than ceuld be expected, on account of the un- ‘favorable state of the weather, and the want of warmth in the buildin, ‘The Rev. Dr, De Witt took the chair, afew minutes after seven o'clock, and the services of the occasion “were commenced by prayer by the Rev. D. W. Clark; after which, the Treasurer's report was read. The ba- 2ance in band at the beginning of the year was $224 57; ‘the receipts for the year were $12,752 04; and the ba- lance on hand, at the present time, is $76 66. From the annual report. we gleaned that there are two hun- dred thoueand persons in New York who do not attend the ministration of the goepel. “Two additional mis- sionaries have been employed—one a German. and the othera Swede. It was mentioned, as a point. in the re- port, that of fifteen hundred persons attached, directly and indirectly, to the Society. only four died of the soourge which visited the city during the last summer, apd no disease was coptrasted by any person engaged in tract distribution. It also stated that e great the cholera were not th bed conversions. The the work of conversion m tracts have been distributed during the year. 1,180 bibles, and 2.609 testaments. 7.735 volumes have deen lent. and 1,977 children have been sent to Sabbath schools. 204 persons have been induced to unite in Bible elnes distributors, Fifteen thousand doilars are required for ‘the operations of the Society, for the coming year. The Rev. Mr. Macoon moved that the reports be Printed, and spoke for # few minutes He said it was much better for evangelical denominations to be en- gaged in the work of scattering tracte—the leaves from the tree of life—among the desolate, than to be throw- ing Bibles at each other's heads. The work which is betore the Society is extremely large, although it 13 confined to the limits of the city; but it must be fol- lowed up by means adequate to accomplish the desired nd.

He was in his place in the Jine in five minutes after the order was given. On reporting to the Colonel, witness was ordered to arrest Capt French, and give the command to Kirst Lieut Macaulay, which be did. On cross-exuwination, witness deposed that the Colonel was not on the ground at the time apeciiied in the order; it was about balt past nine o'clock when he arrived: the brigade line which was ordered to form at balt-past nine o'clock, did not form till about eleven o'clock; Lieutenant Macanlay came that morning to the parade ground with a wesenge from Captain Frencd, to the efleet that it would be balf an hour before he could appear there with his company; witness said he had no wuthority to excuse him, but would mention it to the Colonel; Lieutenant Macaulay gave no reason for the delay; witness saw the correspondence of Cap- tarp Freeh on the Herald that morning, offering to cort the volunteers; the Colonel arrived in dve minutes after, aud desired witness to delay the formation of the line for # short time for Captain French; the reason why Captain Vincent was not arrested, w finding be had misunderstood the order, was detailed for the duty of escort to the re. maine without appeartog in the regimental line, be made the most humble apology to the Colonel, and sired him te convey it to the officers of the regiment: Colonel Stebbins had intended to arrest him; witness, on being asked his opinion by Colonel Stebbins, did say thet he thought Captain French ought to be arrested before be came to the ground; Colonel Stebbins afcer expresied his deep regret at the necessity of arresting Captain French nd ciated that it was the most un- pleasant hour of Lis hfe; be wished to hare the matter amicably arranged before the order tor the court mar- nd be boped Captain Frevch would p, aod release him from the dis- nt; he said if euch scenes tre- red, be would soon lose all taste for military matters; it was within an hour from the time the regimental line was formed till Captain French's company arrived; it was balf an hour after the brigade line was formed; the ecluma did not move for filteon Minutes to belf an hour after Captain French's com- pany was placed in the line Colovel Stebbins was next examined; and, after cor- Toborativg the evidence of the Adjutant, he added, that French, approaching him in an exetted 1 CAL DOL believe It possible that you issued order to disgrace those meu whom I bave been rting,” witness teplied—" I was not aware that you re doing escort duty; witness thought, if Captain Freneh bed been engaged in that servies, be had con- cluded it; he raw the correspondence in the Herald thet morning; be did not see any colors before Captain French's company; aod the fest he saw of the Volun- when they were passing bis front; he did not know what position they were to have in the line. Here, Captain French put questions, with a view of motive of Colonel Stebbins, in giving dirgrace him; to judge Advocate objected, and rof the objection. Captaia Freneh then put qu in another form, to show that the order was caleulated to make him believe, at the time, that Colonel Stebbins intended to disgrace him, and that he was not bound to obey an order to degrade bim»elt~ for which he producvd an authority. The Judge Advocate contended that it was incum$ French to shew that the order was il- li clap-trap about the disgrace, and the fain Freveh bad placed bimewif in tl wrong by golpg upon wrervice that delayed him; and be bad no right to ta ntage 4 his own wroay make seme explavat trersing embarrass quently ee Colonel Stebbins and tl the Court decided in id be death in w Hie contended he had # rigbt to parade bis company, or go upon any ser- view he pleased, mot iilegal, without the order of the Colowel. ‘The Judge Advocate denied that position.
