IN ADMIKAI-TY, BEFORE TV A HE, J.
Thursday—James McArgia, v. George H.
Marshall.
Libel for wages as 2d Mate of brig Wild
Hunter. The libellant claimed that he shipped
as 2d mate of the vessel at Halifax, at #18 per
month and that lie did not sign any shipping
paper, a parole agreement beiug made between
the master of the vessel and himself, and that
Capt. Marshall promised him his discharge oil
the arrival of the vessel at this port. The re
spondent alleged that McArgia shipped to go
the voyage from Halifax to Demarara, thence
to Portland, and thence to Halifax, as a com
mon seaman at #10 per month. In proof of
this he brings forward the shipping papers, to
which libellant's name is affixed with “his
mark." Capt. Marshall testified that libellant
placed his mark to the shipping papers and it
was witnessed. The libellant testified directly
to the contrary and for proof that he could
• write referred to the libel to which he had
sigued his name.
J udge Ware decided that the shipping paper
in conjunction with the testimony of the Cap
tain, was proof that libellant had agreed to go
the voyage. The voyage not being concluded
the libel must "be dismissed. F. Fox for libel
lant. G. H. Marshall and Geo. II. Starr tor
respondent.

ed not guilty aud waived an examination.
Attempt to Obtain Goons Under a
False Token.—Ou the 20th of Oct., Messrs.
W. A C. R. Miliiken of this city received an
order, pur|>orting to be sigued by H. B. Rice
A Co., of Etna, for two chests Young Hyson
tea. Not having t hat kind of tea on hand they
wrote back word to that effect, stating that
they would order it if requested. Subseqently
another letter came, purporting to be signed
by Rice & Co., ordering three chests of best
Oolong tea instead of tlujioung Hyson. Be
, fore receiving the latter order the Messrs. Mil
liken met Mr. Rice in this city, and he, upon
being informed of the circumstance of the j
first order, said it was a forgery. When the
second order came they took measures to have
the culprit arrested. Accordingly a bill of the
tea was sent by mail, with a request to the
Postmaster to arrest the person calling for it. i
A notice of the facts was also sent to the De
pot Master. The Postmaster neglected to ar
rest the man who took the letter containing
the bill out of the Post office, but the Depot
Master at Etna arrested him when he called
for the tea. The fellow proved to be a man
named John C. Stickney, who is said to belong
in New Hampshire. He made resistence w hen
he was arrested, but he was secured and
brought to this city, and in the Municipal
Court yesterday, was bound over to take his
trial at the Supreme Judicial Court. He gave
as a reason for his conduct, that on Thanks
giving day he was to be married; and wishing ;
to make his intended some preseuts, he adopted
this course to raise the money.
.
Mechanics’ Association Debate.—The
Library Room was crowded last evening to its
utmost extent, to hear the debate upon the
President’s proclamation. Many went away
unable to obtain entrance. The debate was
lively and spirited, the members confining
themselves more to the question than they
have heretofore done.
Mr. Pingree opened the debate in opposition
to the proclamation. Mr. Patteu followed in
support of it. Mr. Kimball opposed it, and 1
Mr. H. C. Lovell spoke in favor of it. Mr.
Nash spoke against it, and Mr. Walton sup
ported it. The debate for the evening was
ciuseu uy a speecu irum air. r.uiei y m opposi

It being understood that several members
were desirous of expressing their views, the
resolution was laid upon the table to be taken

From Geri. Foster’s Expedition.—Capture of
Hamilton—Our Forces itapidly Ad
vancing.
New York, Nov. 13.
The Herald lias a letter dated aboard the
gunboat Hunchback, Hamilton, N. C., 4th,
which says: We have just arrived at this
place, taking it with a grand cavalry charge
and combined gunboat movement. Our land
forces left Williamson yesterday afternoon, and
encamped lor the night six miles from the
town, and moved forward this morning at day
light.
The enemy is in strong force, and has pre
cipitately retreated to Tarboro’. We will seek
the earliest opportunity to afford him a tight.
The people are greatly alarmed at our ap
proach, and tlee from their homes and property.
The gunboats have successfully co-operated
with us—that is, the Hunchback, lietzel, Sey
mour, Valley City and the Perry. The gun
boats had a few moments’ engagement with
the enemy, as they came up the Roanoke
River.
General Foster's command had a severe en
gagement Sunday night with 3,000 rebel infan
try. at a braastwork supported by six pieces of
artillery. We killed and wounded sixty of the
enemy. Our loss was ten.
When we charged into Hamilton, Major
Germrd’s battalion of the 3d New York caval
ry being i:t advance, we found the roads lead
ing from the town covered with wagons con
taining the household goods of those hastily
leaving the place.
Accidentally, Col. Potter, Capt. Wilson, a
corporal, a private, and your correspondent,
charged into and out of the town, lour miles,
and killed oue rebel, wounded two, and took
two prisoners, and captured ten pieces. The
enemy left this place, adandonlng his earth
works, We move in two hours to take Tar
boro’ on tlie River. Thu gunboats will co-op
erate with us.
The North State and some other gunboat
had an engagement day before yesterday, on
the Tar River.
Our marches are made with great rapidity.
We expect shortly better and more iui]>orlaut
news.

The following is a special dispatch to a
morning paper:
Nashville, Tenn., Nov. 12. — Breckinridge
sent a flag of truce from Murfreesboro’ late
last night, asking for an exchange of lit pri
soners.
The main rebel force is falling hack to the
South, under Polk and Buckner. Bragg lias
resumed command, Gen. Joe. Johnston's
health being too much impaired for Held ser
vice.
Gen. Rosecraus has ordered the impressing
of rebel negroes for fatigue duty; also the or
ganization of a negro pioneer corps on Ins
Corinth plan.
The rebel Gen. Breckinridge issiek. Union
refugees are preparing to return to Murfrees
boro'.
Preparations are being made to elect repre
sentatives to the present Congress from dis
tricts in Tennessee on the occupancy of the
federal troops. Gov. Johnson will probably
soon issue a proclamation to that effect.
The reports in Northern papers of the rebels
shelling and burning part of Nashville are ut
terly unfounded.
Groat Frauds on the Government.
New Yoke, Nov. 13.
It is stated that nearly a million dollars have
been fraudulently obtained from the U.S. sub
sistence department of this city, within eigh
teen months. Two of the parties, named Sol
omon Kolinstrow and G. B. Tracy, brokers,
have been arrested and sent to Fort LathyeUc.
They have been in the habit of purchasing
bills in the subsistence department for half
and sometimes a fourth of their apparent val
ue. Parties were employed to hunt up con
tractors, who had subsisted men, and some of
the latter were led to sign bills lor subsisting
one thousand men, when they laid really pro
vided for only one hundred. As many as titty
persons are implicated, and quite a number are
already iu custody.
Mysterious Murder.

mysterious murder in the 27th precinct lodg

belbre the police commission witiiout success

murdered was an Englishman named Peter

the effects of which he died.

alist from a Border State.—A letter
from the Hon. Joseph Holt (who the Demo
crats have frequently talked of as their candi
date for next President,) appeared in the New
War Items from Tennessee.
New York, Nov. 13.
1 ork Evening Post ol Monday. It is clear
and bold as tlie sound of the rallying trumpet
on the battle Held, and tells home truths with
out tear or favor towards parties or men, how
ever formidable iu numbers or elevated in po
sition. It is dated Oct. 25th. Oil the two
points, touched upon in the following para
graphs, its explicitness deserves special atten
tion :
An immediate, bold and aggressive move
ment upon the enemy—following up every
blow struck and gathering the fruits of every
victory gaiusd—is what is required for our de
liverance. To the accomplishment of this
single object the thoughts, the efforts and the
prayers of the whole country should be direct
ed. If those who are in Irout will not go for
ward, the public safety will demand that they
be assigned positions in the rear. What are
the sensibilities, what the reputation, or what
the cherished schemes of any General in the
Held, as compared with the life of such a Gov
ernment and country as ours? • * • •
My laith in all this matter is simple and
briefly stated. It is this; For all things that
are for the Union—against all things that are
against it. I am for the Union as uncondi
tionally as I am for protecting my own body,
at every cost and hazzard, from the knife of
the assassin. No human institution, no earth
ly interest, shall ever be by me weighed in the
scales against the life of my country. Least
of all wilt I aproach with unsaudelled feet, or
permit to be thus weighed, an institution, the
feeding fountain of whose being—the African
slave trade—the laws of my eountry have for
more than forty years denounced as a crime
worthy of death—a crime not against any par
ticular code, of any particular form of civili
zation, but a crime against the very race to
which we belong.
Removal ol Gen. McClellan.
The removal of Gen. McClellan occasions
little surprise, being regarded as the natural
sequence of the Northern elections. “ Irube
citity” (we use John Van Bureu’s word,) in
tlie conduct of tlie war having been the grea
point made by the Democracy, their partia i
success on that issue could be construed in in
other way than as an indication ot a popula.
wish that there should be a change in tliecom
maud of our patriotic army. To this wish, th
President has cheerfully and patriotically re
sponded, and the Democratic party may be a4
sured that they are now to have that “ tnor
rigorous" prosecution of the war for whic'
they have clamored. Whether they will rel
ish it, or not, after they get it, is an other mat
ter.—[National Repub.
We are Going to light now.
Everything indicates that Old Abe has g<
tired of strategy. He is going in for liar
knocks now. Nearly all our Generals are fight
ing men, and we are much mistaken if rela
fur does not fly before thirty days. Just loo.
at the fighting host. Hooker, Slgel, Grant,
Rosecrans, McCieruand, Sheridan, Hurlbot
Ord, McCook, Butler, Curtis, Curr and otliei
whose names we cannot now recall, are all a .

NEW YORK HARBOR DEFENCES.

Reported Disaster to the Federal Army a
Canard.
GENERAL ORDER.
Washington, Nov. 13.
The story about an alleged iron-clad which
run the blockade off Charleston harbor, is
traceable here to an event that occurred more
than a month ago, uud which was soon alter
wurds published. The Flambeau’s rifled guns
made no impression upon the blockade runner,
simply because none of tbe random shots
struck her. The rebel steamer ran by the
Flambeau during the night.
Much of what Is said about tbe rebels being
reinforced with iron-clad vessels from Europe,
flnds no continuation at the Navy Department,
which is not indifferent to obtaining facts on
that subject.
Gov. Morgan and Collector Harney arc here
in relation to the defences of New York har
l>or. It is understood the proper departments
have acceded to their request for adequate and
immediate protection, and the requisite orders
for that purpose have already beeu issued.
Lieut. Com. L. II. Newman has beeu de
tached from the iron clad steamer Galena, and
acting Lieut. James Parker lias beeu ordered
to that vessel. Lieuts. John Weydman and
U. 11. Sampson have beeu detached from the
Pawnee at Philadelphia. Commander Surlori
has been detached from the command of tile
Florida mid ordered to the command of the
Cyane in the Pacitic. Commander S. B. Bia
sed has l>eeu detached from tlie command of
the Cyane a rill ordered to the navy yard at
Mare Island, California. Capt. S. B. Green
has been detached Prom that yard and ordered
to the Atlantic States. Second assistant En
gmeer Boynton lias been ordered to the gun
boat Winona. T. W. Drummond has been ap
pointed acting Assistant Surgeon in the navy.
Applications for masters mate in the navy
should be forwarded to the Navy Department,
with a statement of their sea service and with
recommendations from the captains with wiiotn
they have sailed, and also their age.
Inquiries have been received here as to al
leged disasters to the array of the Potomac,
involving the safety of Washington and re
capture of Harper's Ferry. Reports of a sim
ilar character have prevailed iu Washington
during the present week, but they were not
considered worthy of serious contradiction,
bavifig no truth w hatever tor their foundation.
Maj. Uen. Fitz John Porter yesterday issued
the following general orders from headquarters
5th army corps, dated camp near Warrenton:
By direction of the President of the United
States, Maj. Gen. Hooker has been assigned to
the command of this corps. It lias been my
privilege to lead the little band of regulars, the
permanent army of the United (states, inherit
ing the names and records the traditions of
regiments that have borne the banner of our
country through all its wars. It has been my
privilege, noble regiments of volunteers com
ing from different State-, hut becoming equal
ly national, tliougli having the same purpose,
the same dangers aid the same sufferings,
having shared their perils and privations in
tbe camp, in the bivouac, ou the march and
in half a score of bloody tic-ids. To theotllcers
and men of both classes I address myself.—
Tbe confidence which, if 1 may judge by your
acts, you have reposed in me, it has been my
earnest effort to merit ami requite. Tbe per
sonal regard which 1 am proud to feel tiiat
you bear toward me, is reciprocated by an
ardent affection and a deep respect which time
cannot efface. Tbe personal good fortune of
each of you will be always a matter ol heart
felt interest to me. The professional successes
you will attain will be doubly grateful to ine,
inasmuch as they will be identified with suc
cess of our cause. Among tile most gratify
ing of my thoughts of you will be the assur
ance that your subordination and loyalty will
remain tbe future as in tbe past—firm and
steadiest to our country and its authorities.

“It is understood that the President Ills fur

and on which McClellan failed to act, ft Gen.
Burnside, for the consideration ami gJidauce
of that officer. The President lias alio read
this letter to various parlies, and it 'viii no
doubt be given to the public. It is a d j-umeut
which will elevate Mr. Lincoln in the' esteem
of all thoughtful men, and will show conclu
sively that lie has not been content j ith the

hut has studied the great principles ui j.erly ing
