Since despatching my letter of yestcrday’s date 1 have learned many interesting particulars of the reconnois- sance to the Blackwater which I kad not time to col- lect then. When the column arrived at Windsor, which is about ten miles from here, a rocket was sont up by somo one in the village—a signal, most probably, of our ap- proach. This was about ten o'clock on Thursday night It bas since beon ascertained that a man loft Windsor and arrived at the Blackwater between one and two o'clock yes terday morning, and gave information of the direction from which the column was advancing, as well as its nusabers. The robel captain admitted that they were aware of our approach at that hour, and at once set to work to give us warm reception. Their extensive preparations to re. ceive us alone prove this fact,as 1 have before remarked, that the erogsing of the Blackwater was entirely unob. structed two days previous. » The enemy’s pickets were sixty in number, thirt; being posted opposite the ford, bebind rifle pits and lox works, while the remainder were a short distance above. When our skirmishers approached the bank of the river yesterday morning they were received by a voliby of musketry from the rebels behind their works. The fire was promptly returned, and between the firing quite a conversation passed between them, part of which was as follows:— . Usios—Have you had your breakfast yet? Rewe.—No. Ustox—Then why don’t you come down to the river and get some water for your coffee? Reswar—We will, if you won't fire. Usiox—Woll, you can come; we won't fire. Here one of the rebels caine out with two canteens, when one of our skirm'shers, who had not heard the con- vergation, fred his rifle, aud secesh dropped back into his hole. This mistake was then explained, and the party invited again 10 come out; but even the promise of a share of a Yankee breukfast ‘and some clothing failed to tempt him. ‘One of our men shouted, *‘How about that Pittsburg Battery?” A rebel answered, “We did not want it or you would never have taken it.”” After this conversation firing was resumed with re- newed viger, but with little effect on eitber side. A number of the Mounted Rifles, Colonel Dodge, who had volunteered, now attempted to cross the river at tha ford, but were fired upon by the enemy’s sharpshooters, who killed one and_ wounded five of the gallant fellows. Charles Rossey, of Company L, was the one killed, the ball passing completely through his head, causing instant death. The namesof the wounded Icould not learn. Rossey and two of the wounded cavaley men are sup- ‘to have been shot by a sharpsheoter stationed be ind a pile of logs, who, levelling his rifle through # small opening, would take deliberate aim, fire, and then drop {nto a ditch behind his breastwork, where he would re- main until the shower of bullets which invariably fol- Wea rack.of his rifle passed harmlessly over him. ‘The cavalry now returned, and roport: that the passable on account of the felled trees and {et te eared tke .

THE ARBITRARY ARRESTS. Charge to the Grand Jury—Important Remarks Upon [legal Seizure of Citic zems of this State. COURT OF GENERAL SESSIONS. Before Recorder Hoffman. ‘The Grand Jury of this court were sworn in on Monday morning, James W. Underhill, foreman. Previous to bis Honor’s charging the jury Mr. District Attorney Hall requested the Recorder to call apecial attention to the Jaws in reference to kidnapping and abduction, Mr. Hall remarked that a number of complaints of this nature had ‘been filed in his office, After some preliminary remarks upon the ordinary topics to which the Court is required call the attention of the Grand Inquest, Recorder Hoffman made the following important observations upon iNegal arrests, which will be read with interest by every citi. zen of this State At the close of the last week the District Attorney ro quested méin my charge to you to-day to give you cape cial instructions in relation to the laws of this State against kidnapping. He intimated to me that cases had been brought to his notice in which it was alleged thse laws bad violated, and which he would probably feel bound to submit to you for your consideration and action. Having repeated that request to-day, I deem it my duty to give you the desired instructions, and I shall do so briefly and yet pointedly, It is so generally re- ported and believed that for many months past numbers of poraons have, without any lawful au! ‘ity, been seized on and removed from this State against their will, importance attaches to the subject under cou- At the same time it is 30 generally under- toad that these seizures and ramovals have been made uader some claim or pretence of {awful authority that it ‘becomes necessary to define and state the law with care, 80 that all who will may underatand Jaw, as I shall now state it, will, think, com itwelf to the [Peg of who will examine it with un- judgment, oe will be the law of this court while I preside in it, reversed, if reversed it ever shall be, by some higher tribunal ‘The constitution of the United States and the constitu tion of the State of New York have guuranteed to ail citi zens the security of their persons against unlawful seizures, and the laws of this State have in substance de- clared that whoever shall violate this constitutional guarantee shall be deemed guilty of a felony. The statute Provides (vide Revised Statutes, 5th edition, volume 3, Page 943, section 30), as follows, viz:-—Kvery person who shall, without lawful authority, forcibly seize and contine moy other, or shall inveigte or kidnap any other, with intent either: — 1. To cause such other person to be secretly confined or imprisoned in this State against his will: or 2. Tocause such other person to be sent out of the State against his will; or 3. To cause such other person to be sold as a slave, or in any way held to servico against his wili, sbali, upon conviction, be punished by imprisonment in the State prison not exceeding ten years. Whoever, within this state, arrests a person charged with au oifence alleged to have been committed therein against the laws, either of the State or of the United Sates, is bound taconvey the person 40 arrested without delay bsfore the proper magistrate or other judicial officer within the State, to be dealt with acc to law.

Upon the trial of such indictment, the f{nct that such seizure, confinement and rem»val was by order of the President of the United States, of any member of his Cabinet, or other officer of the government, will constitute no legal defence. Noither the President. nor any member of the Cabinet, or other officer (not judicial), has any lawful authority to order the seizure, or imprisonment, or removal from the State of any citizen of the State for any off ce whatever com- mitted, or alleged to have been committed, within its bor- ders. I need hardly add that the arrest and imprison- ment of any person not charged with any crime, no mat- ter by whom, or by whose order the same is made, is in violation of the constitution and the laws. The constitu tion of the United States declares that in criminal prose- cutions the accused shall have aspeedy trial by jury in the State or district where the crime shall bave been committed; and the seizure of aby person. and his re- moval against his will from his State or district, is iu violation of this provision of the constitution, and, in the eye of our statute, without “lawful authori secretiy ‘State, and when the offender has ffed into this State, pro. vision bas beon made by act of Congress, in couformily with and obedience to constitutional requirements, for his arrest and roturn to the State from which he has escape. In svch cases the Governor of the State in which the offence is alleged to have been committed may make a requisition upon the Governor of this State, accompanied by the necessary proofs; and upon such requisition the Governor of this State may issue his warront for the arrest of the fugitive, by virtue of which he may be seized art returned to the jurisdiction from which behas fled. In this way, and in no other,can he be lawfully seized auw conveyed out of the State. Any person, whether he be an officer or not, who shall seize and alleged fugitive from justice (except to await @ requisition) acts without lawful authority; and if he shall seize and detain him against his will, with intent secretly to imprison him here, or to remove him out of the State against his will, except upon such requi- sition and warrant, he is guilty of a violation of tno sta- tute Ihave read to you, and is liable to indictment and imprisonment. Upon the trial of such indictment the fact that he acted by order of the President, or of any member of the Cabivot, or other officer of the govern- ment, will constitute no | defence. These, gentie- men, are plain propositions of law, which cannot be dis- puted, applicable to our loyal State, in which the Stite courts are in almost uninterrupted sesston, in which judges and magistrates are faithful to their oaths to sup port the constitution of the State and the constitution of imprison an the United States, in which the laws are ample for the punishment of all offenders as well as for the pretection of a!l citizens—a State in which the federal courts are in almost daily session, with all their machinery in full ope ration, their Eectong and marshals and deputies ready to perform their duties, whose process can always be euforced ‘and whose judgments and decrees can always be executed— ‘State in which the acts of Congress are never resisted, and pect the constitution and the laws.
