The Richmond correspondent of the when, (W. Va.) Intelligencer wr.tes:—Among the rumors prevalent is av on dil thatyGeneral Terry, commanding this Department, will shortly marry the daughter of a well known mer- chant of Richmond. The young lady in question ix about eighteen, and belongs to a family remarkable for its beauty, of which, ‘in point of appearance, she is cer- tainly not an unworthy meniber. Some of our young misses, who, a few short montis sinee, were builing over with hatred for everything native orgermane to “Yaukee: dom,” have overcome their aversion with amazing facil- ity. Ina few nights, the daughter of our richest tobacco merchant, who is said to have secure within the cotter of the Bank of England a princely fortune, will marry a federal officer now on duty in hmond, and I have heard of one or two other instances Stars and brass buttons have a proverbially dazzling effect upon the youthful female imagination, aud with rome of our Richmond it seems to be matter of small concera whether the stars and buttons adorn the ' | d'Orsay i mentioned in most of the London and Paris * Joyal blue” or ** rebet gray.” A Boston cor lent of the Rochester (N.

There is a secret about it; but those features will never be seen again. Insanity appears to be raging as an epidemic among the original secessionists.

By Mr. BaKkR—Witness came amay from Anderson. ville with one hundred and forty dollars in greenbacks and a forty-five dollar watch, Judge Advocate Caremax then led to examine the witness, who said he had seen Duncan speculating in stolen whiskey and other things; Duncan knocked down and struck a couple of prisoners, and would seize men ht and place them in the stocks, i Baxen objected to the examination “proceeding as to Duncan, ‘The Covet overnttud the objection, and one of the members of the court said that the court was trying for wacy. eo examination of the witness was then resuined, Wiwess vaid that Duncan and ms right hand man, Richey, separted the tunnels, and they would advise Wirz what thould be done to men for such and such Phings; witners on two different occasions saw Dr. Mudd hold his thumb oren artery, and while the amputation operator Was tying the artery the dector would remove his thumb and let the biood spurt in the operator's face, and the doctor would laugh as if it was something funny; Dr. Carr, a rebel steward, would come into the hospital disguised as one of our own men, tometitnes in a goed and at other times in a bad uniform; witness saw him twice strike men over the face, with his heavy pistol, for talking with the guard, that doctor robbed a ck man of his butions; vegetables were also stolen from the sick.

Colonel Cirman said that Fechnor, alias “Baron Mun- swore that he never esw any of the prisoners die, and that he never refused to give them food. Mr. Baker remarked—Let Fechnor's testimony be road that it may be known from the record what he did ‘\iajor General WaALiace coincided in the view of Mr. Baker.

Colonel Cuirman asked the witness what was the character of Fechnor's partner? , Mr. Baxen objected. The Count said it was not a question. Colonel Curewax would then waive it, He only wanted to show that “birds of a feather would flock together,” Mr. Baxxe—But the birds were obliged to be at Ander sonville.

John Jay.—The question of the right of free and watrammelied literary and political ‘criticiom came up W& very Bove) and interesting form on Friday morning before Judge Cardozo, of the Court of ‘Common Pleas, The partes involved ta the controversy ‘are two gentlemen well known to fame, the plaintiff bo- ing Mr. Henry B. Dawson, editor of the new edition of the Federalist, and the defendant Mr. John Jay, therame individua! who figares so frequently in the public prints asa writer and debater on questions theological, social, political and universal. Mr, Dawson, it appears, in his intreduction to the work mentioned'above, delivered himself of cortain views and -doctrives not considered orthodex according to Mr. Jay's code of patriotic and _historie principles. Mr, Jay, therefore, felt’ himself im honor bound to throw down the gauntlet and summon Mr. Dawson to a solemn literary and political combat. Mr. Jay did 0, writing two letters, in which he reviewed with great severity the Dawsonian theories and animadyversions. Considering bimeelf unjustly misrepre- sented and libetled im the Jay criticiems, Mr. Dawson burried from the field of letters to the arena of law to seck compensation for his damaged feelings. Two- ac- tions for libel were commenced in the Court of Common Pleas, the first based on the first letter of Mr. Jay, and the second uetion on alleged libellous, matter. contained in the second letter written by that gentleman. Damages in the one case were Jaid at ten thousand dollars, and in the other at .fifty thousand dollars, The second action came up yesterday on demurrer by Mr. Jay’s counsel, Merers, Wm. M. Evarts and Joseph H. Choate, who moved to dismiss the complaint for want of sufficient cause of action. The libelious matter complained of by Mr. Dawson is principally the words contained on the title page of the second lefter, which has appeared in pamphlet form:— New Ploitings in Aid of the Rebel Doctrine of State Sove- reignty. Mr. Jay’s Second Lotter ou Dawson’s Introduction to the Pederalist, capouing its Falsifieation of the History Constituuon, its Libels on Dunne, Livingston, Jay milton, and its Relation to Recent Bitorts by Traitors nd Abroad to Maintain the Rebel Doctrine of the Bi rsion of the Unity of the Re- Also the following words and sentences contained upon the fifteenth page of the pamphiet:— Not even a foreumer who in the least appreciated the his- torig grandeur that belongs to the infancy of our republic, the heroism that in the curse of constitutional freedom defied he armies of Britain, and the statesmansbip ied the highest eulogium from the lips of descend to the low ollice of violating the ler to revile and cover with odimn their is bo pervert facts and mixrepresont © Hlewspapers and correspondence of vtlon, and hantup and dig out the exploded alan, evs of the last century, which have been buried xo deep that their unpleasant. etttuvium has hardly polluted our atmos ations; easy as itis to disinter these decayed attempt to reanimate them with the breath of nand present them to the world as veritable + 94 # s+ © Thin was the task whic iscloned by the “Explanatory” of the Chica noralzing the American poople in regard 10 With a view toaiding the rebel. oluntarily assumed by Chatham, cou truth of histo ry in ord fame, Hany a to rake over th lion, was assigned tO oF rr Menvy B.

J. T, Williams and J. B. Andrews opposed Unis: motion on behalf of Mr. Dawson, Mr. Williams contended that the language specified in the complaint showed a very good eause of action for had ever read. If the language meant anything it meant that Mr. Dawson was disloyal and a traitor; that he was covertly combining to assist the rebellion; thae he has distorted and wilfully ‘alsificd history, and published nakcious and defamatory libels concerning Dnane, n, Jay aud Hamilton, What worse, the counsel ‘be said of a man than that he was a traitor to bis country, and wilfully libelled such creat men as those named in the pawphiet? The counsel also asked what was the meaning of having such a motto on the pamphlet as the famous words of General Dix about shooting down whoever might attemptto haul down the American flag? Was it not intended to convey the sig- | nificance that Dawson was & traitor, who ought to be. shot down for dishonoring the American flag? t else could it mean? Shoot down whatt Mr. Choate—The book, not the man. (Laughter.) Mr. Wilbams continued that the whole object of Jay's pawphiets wax to cast wove, upon Mr. Dawson representing hom as a traitor. jag it not a grave libel to charge a man with a want of appreciation of the his- toric grandeur that bolongs to the infancy of our repub- he? (Mr. Evarts smiled at this The learned covmrel may smile and take up the time in trivial mat- ters, but I hold to what I said: that such an imputation is highly libellous. Mr. Evarl:—The gentieman may be sure 1 shall only dea! in (rifles in following up the gentleman's own argu- ment. Mr. Withams proceeded with his argument at Jength, and alluded to certain aathorities and in support of hie position. Mr. Evarts followed in behalf of Mr. Jay in avery elaborate and learned argument, of which we can only ery briet sketch. He said almost next im (ance to judicial independence was the freedom of the press and the right to criticise literary and political subjects of a public nature. This, he gnid, is the very material and breath of our political institutions, and un- Jews we enforce the primary doctrine of the independence ‘of the press we can have no true liberty. There was a very well marked line to be distinguished in the exer- cise of this cardinal right, and it was this—that an orator astiny an editor in @ newspaper or a nh a pamphlet could freely and without fear discuss topics of public controverry, criticise them severely, provided he refraiy from attacking ee aid sonaily in their private relations. This right could be exercized even the extent of inveighing against the government, even to the degree of accusing it of bein, dangerous to liberty. The wyiter of a book on ban! note counterfeiting might be written down a fool and ap ase by a litorary critic; but the critic would not be justi- fied in calling the writer @ counterfeiter himself, That would be libellour, and there is the exact difference, Some might call Lingard’s “History of land” a gross fulsitication of facts; others might — Hume's his- but would it said, for that tory in reapon, that the critic imputed personal dishonesty to those ‘distinguished authors? Certainly not. In the instance before the Court, he (Mr. Evarts) held that Daw- fon's Wosk was on @ subject of pubic controversy, which .was the rty of the public, and therefore open to public eritic#m, This was all that Mr. Jay bad done. He bad criticised a public work, and reat cots it could not be contended that he, bad attacked . Mr, Dawson in his personal or famil consisted in levying war. Daweon of levying war not; he had merely st views were a libel on certain relations. Treason Did Mr. Jay accuse Mr. his country? Cortainly that Dawson's ideas and rie prandeur of the what that appreciation should nationality consisted in resistance to our government; vome thought abolitionism not natioval, and some thought the word “nation” was altogether plave in our country. As regards the motto of hauling down the Amerioan fing, Mr. Evarts contended that Mr, Jay's meaning was simply a moral hauling down of the moral of the sentiments of the American consti: tution, After some whlangptingrnnes Judge Cardozo took the “pepers in the case. and sixni his intention of giving 4 decision at an early day. v Fire Departmen: NEW STREAM FIRE ENGINES ONDERE!
