Col. Stew art L. Woodford, 103d U. S.
C. TANARUS., formerly Lieut.-Colonel of the 127th
N. Y. Vols., is now Chief of Staff to Major-
Gen. Gillmore, having been reliuVed on the
22d of March, by Col. Gurney, of the 127th
N. Y, as commandant of the city of Chailes
ton.
Col. Woodford is well qualified lor the
position by capacity and experience. He
entered the 127th as a private, was elected
captain of Cos. 11, and afterwards promoted
by the Governor to be Lieut.-Colonel. He
had command of the batteries on Morris
Island from which Charleston was shelled,
but was detached to go on Gen. Foster’s
staff in June last. By his own request he
was relieved to take part in the Tullifmny
campaign, last fall, and at the battle of
Honey llill, Col. Gurney having charge of
the skirmish brigade, he commanded his
regiment with especial gallantry. Ho had a
prominent part in the battle of the 9th, and
commanded Col. Silliman s brigade after the
latter was moitally wounded. He was Pro
vost Marshal General of the Department till
Feb. 24, and then went to Charleston to or
ganire the city, having been promoted to the
Colonelcy of tiie 103d. During his absence
hie regiment is commanded by Lieut.-Col.
Bogert.
The destruction of the arsenal at Fay
etteville, N. C., was an irreparable loss to
the Confederates, being the most complete
thing of the kind in the South. It contained
all the valuable material taken from the Har
per s Ferry arsenal at the commencement of
the war.
LETTER FROM CHARLESTON.
Cuableston, S. C., April 6th, 1865.
This city of cours?,cannot be compared with
Savannah in point of beauty or cleanliness,
but great efforts are being made to get it
clean betore hot wheather.
Dr. Mackey has charge of this work and
is untiring in his labors.
The dog is a prominent nuisance here, for we
have more dogs—uglier dngs-more worthless
dogs—than any community can put up with.
Alter the 20th, a cur has got to be worth
something to live, as Col. Gurney, our effi
cient Post Commander, has issued an order,
which goes into effect on the above date—re
quiring ail owners of canine property to get
out a license on such property, for which the
owner is required to pay .f 1 per month on
eacji head.
All offending dogs are to in? killed on the
spot, witli club?! Besides ridding the city,
this will add greatly to the receipts of the
Post Treasurer, Lieut. Ilaviland.
The distribution of clothing to the negroes
lias been stopped for want of a supply.
Messrs. Paxsou and Stagg have had charge
of tbis distribution from Bow’er’s old store,
corner of Meeting and Hazel sts. They have
worked hard and deserve a great deal of
credit.
A sociable at which aboflt. forty guests
were present, was given a few evenings
siuce by Capt. Fowler, late commissary of
the District, which was a very fine affair.
The Meyer family, violinists and vocalists,
were present and charmed the company by
their superior performing and singing.
Among the officers present w’ere Captaih
Edison. Provost Marshal; Captain Hunt,
A. A. Q M.; Captain Cornell. C. S. Vols.;
Captain Henry, A, A. D. C. to Gen’l Hatch;
Lieut. Ilaviland, Post Treasurer; Lieut.
Collins, A. A. P. M.; Lieut. Little, A. D. C.,
and Lieut. Weidensaai, Q. M.
Toasts to the President, General Gillmore,
General Hatch, and Colonel Gurney, were
proposed, and the company at a
late hour well pleased with their evening’s
entertainment.
The Theatre is fast approaching comple
tion, and the lovers of the drama will soon
lie enabled to eDjoy a rich treat in the per
formances of the Strahan and Park’s Dra
matic Company. They will open sometime
next week. In the meantime—at the solici
tation of their many friends—they will give
an impromptu entertainment, at Hibernian
Hall.
Shad.— The run of this fish is over. From
a dealer in this fish we have the following :
The run of shad commenced about the first
of February. On the Little Ogeechee river
about 1,000 were caught. The fishermen on
this river were compelled to move from its
banks with their boat and seins as they were
liable to capture by On the Sa
vannah River the cutch has beea fully 10,000
fish, of first second, and third class. The
market i9 receiving large supplies of
all kinds of fresh aud salt water fish. We
notice also that terrapius and clams are in
demand, and the supply adequate.
First Provost Court. —Yesterday morning
Judge Parsons granted permission to several
c itizens to collect their rents, also permission
was granted to several individuals to take
the Oath of Allegiance.
The following important case was called :
G. J. Taggart vs. Misses Maude and Elsie
St. Leon. Charge—attempt to violate an
agreement to perform at the Savannah
Theatre. Judge Parsons, after a careful ex
amination x>f the witnesses, will render iu9
decision to-morrow’.
Dr. W. M. Walsh, we are glad to notice,
lias re-opened his apothecary store, at the
corner of Barnard and Broughton streets,
which lie has made one of the finest estab
lishments in the city. We say this as a long
time friend, because the Doctor is one of the
most humane, whole-hearted men we ever
met (a desirable quality in a physician, apo
thecary or druggist), and because his estab
lishment has become necessary to the
city. Dr. Walsh is also still proprietor of the
only store of the kind at Hilton Head, and is
the largest importer in his line in the depart
ment.
From Charleston.— From an arrival last
evening, we learn that on Sunday night last
five stores in front of the Charleston Hotel
were destroyed by fire.
The office of our friends of the Charles
ton Courier has been closed the past four
days, they being engaged moving further
down town, to a place more convenient to,,
the business portion of the city.
Second Provost Court. This Court,
Judge Walton presiding, stands adjourned
until Friday morning next, at 10 o'clock.—
The First" Provost Court has also adjourned
to the same day.
Strawberries.— The first strawberries of
the season were in market this morning.—
They were from the beds of Mr. Epstein.
The Pulaski House purchased the few r straw
berries brought to market at $1.60 per
quart.
Green Peas.— The season for this palata
ble pea is near at hand. Mr. F. Broadbaek
er’s garden, near Lover’s Lane, is at present
far advanced, and he will, a few days hence,
have the first green peas in market for sale.
For Charleston. —All who propose to
visit Charleston by the steamer Blackstono,
must be ready at half-past nine o’clock this
morning. Those who are later will be, very
likely, too late.
Fight Between Confederate Cavalry and
Deserters.
The Deserters Vietortous— Four Prisoners
Brought iuto our Lines by them.
By an arrival trom beyond the lines we
learn that Captain Crosby, commanding the
Independent Company oi Cavalry, in at
tempting to force deserters to return to Con
federate service, had a fight with a body of
them.
He was defeated, with considerable loss.
The deserters captured four of the enemy
and brought them in. Five of the Cavalry are
known to have been wounded.
The tight occurred at Coleman’s Creek,
Appling County, Georgia, on thejtth of Aril.
Four Union men were also brought in—a
fifth died on the way.

Asst. Adjt. General.
Tht St. Albans Raiders.
The Toronto Leader publishes in full the
decision of Judge Smith in the case ot the St.
Albans raiders, already briefly reported in
our telegraphic despatches. Judge Smith
cited English authorities, quoted the case of
McLeod, and then enlarges upon Gen. Dix’s
order, of which he spoke as follows:
“Whether the South be recognized or not,
they had a right to raise troops; they could
do everything an independent government
could do, and if they did wrong they were
entitled to be treated according to the laws
of nations. No other means of punishment
existed except the sword. If the prisoners were
acting without any authority whatever, yet if
they were acting tor one; oi' the belligerents
against the other, they were not entitled to
be treated as pirates, murderers and robbers,
if caught in the enemy’s teivitory. Had not
Gen. Dix said to ‘shoot tfiem down’ in St.
Albans? Was such au order ever given ex
cept in the case of those engaged in military
operations? The order showed what the
ideas of the American government were. If
they were to treat the prisoners as ordinary
criminals, they would never have given such
an order. So far as the recognition of their
character went, there could be nothing
stronger than this.” •
He continued:
“If it should be proyed that the case was
one under the law’ of nat ions, it would be for
the government to take'measures. The de
mand for extradition was to have been gov
erned by the public laws of the country.—
The stipulations of the contract w’ere to be
controlled by the local laws. What consti
tuted a murder should be determined accor
ding to these laws. From the action of thi3
treaty political refugees and fugitive slaves
were carefully excluded. This w r as in ac
cordance with the recognized principles of
national, as understood in all civilized coun
tries.”
In conclusion the Judge said :
“The treaty, therefore, did not cover such
cases as lhe one before him. The treaty
having been violated by o»e of the contract
ing powers ceased to be binding upon the
other. For all the reasons advanced he be
lieved that no authority restsd in him to
grant the extradition of the prisoners, and
they were therefore entitled to their dis
charge.”
A crowd of spectators gave cheers for the
Judge and the Southern Confederacy when
the decision was announced*
The Montreal Herald, which lia9 no doubt
of the honest intentions of Judge Smith to
.administer the law correctly, regards his
in the case as a faulty one,and add 9 :
“Our judgment, however, could have very
little weight, if it were not that it is that of
the whole bench of Upper Canada, compris
ing lawyers certainly second in ability to
none in any part of the world. It must he
admitted by all to be unfortunate that so far
we have in the two parts of the province two
judgments conflicting with each other on a
subject which may be of such va9t impor
tance "to the future of the country; and it is
still more unfortunate that the last decision,
so far-as the law goes in Lower Canada, re
moves all barriers to outrages such as were
committed by confederates upon the St.
Albans banks, and such as might be com
mitted by any subjects of a nation at war
with Euglaud on ttie Montreal bank, except
the trifling penalties which can be imposed
for a breach ot the ueutralitv laws—in case
a jury cau be found to convict.”
The Whereabouts of Jeff.Davis. —From
a gentleman just through the lines, and
whose statements may be relied on, we learn
that Jeff. Davis, the President of the so
called Southern Confederacy, is at present
in the city of Macon, Georgia.

ACCOUNTS FROM BOTH SIDES.
New Orleans, March 31,1
Via Cairo, April 6. >
The Times and Delta say that at headquar
ters they had received information that a por
tion of General Canby’s army was within five
miles of Mobile. Siege guns were on pon
toons, from which shells could be thrown
into the subufbs of the city.
• The attack on Fort Blakeley, the main
defence of Mobile, had already com
menced.
Maury commmanded at Mobile, and
General Dick Taylor coiAnanded Span
ish Fort.
Generals Canby, Gregg and Smith were
five miles up Fishing creek on the 24th.
New Orleans, April 1,)
Via Cairo, April 6, 1865. j
General Steel’s command, from Pensacola,
met with much opposition, but no*regular
battle was fought until it reached Mitchell’s
Fork, on the morning of the 26th ultimo,
where the enemy numbering about eight
hundred, made a stand, and after a severe
fight were repulsed and scattered in the
woods, many be'ng captured.
The correspondent of the New Orleans
Times, writing from the headquarters of the
Thirteenth army corps, near Blakely, on the
28th ult., says a party of guerrillas made a
dash upon a wagon train stuck in the mud
near Fish river, and captured,tan mules and
eight drivers. But all the wagons and stores
were brought in yesterday.
There has been much skirmishing, but no
regular battle has taken place as yet.
Tlie bombardment of the Spanish fort pro
gresses favorably. Torpedoes thickly stud
the approaches to the lort. Our skirmishers
are within two hundred yards and our artil
lery within three hundred of the fort.
We have it encompassed on three sides.
Their only chance of escape is by water, but
if a gunboat can get up they cannot escape
that way.
General Granger and staft narrowly es
caped being blown up by a torpedo placed in
the road.
Colonel Bertram’s brigade captured a rebel
telegraph office and despatches showing that
the rebels are fully posted in relation to all
our movements, forces and places. General
Steele captured two railroad supply trains at
Pollard.
At last accounts our losses do not exceed
fifty killed and two or three hundred
wounded.
Rebel steamers ply regularly between Mo
bile .and the Spanish Fort, conveying rein
forcements and guns.
Two of our men have been injured by tor
pedoes near Mobile. ’ .

Mobile Bay, March 28, 1865. )
Upon the signal being given, the fleet got
underway at a quarter to eleven this morn
ing, and-proceeded up the bay as far as New
port and Howard's landings. The Mata
comet, Stockdale, Milwaukie, Cincinnati,
Albatross, Winnebago and Genesee were or
dered in toward the shore, and opened fire
at a quarter to one p. m., sending one hun
dred and eighty shells into those places, and
doing considerable damage.
They ceased firing at twenty minutes past
five p. m, aud returned to Great Point Clear,
to anchor for the night.
No fire was returned by the enemy.
The troops remained at Fish river.
Early Fruit and Vegetables.—Yester
day, April 11, we had the’ pleasure of par
taking of early strawberries from the garden
of Mr. J. B. Eppstein, and of green peas
from the garden of Mr. F. Broadbacker.
That both were delicious and especially wel
come at this time of year, we need hardly
say. The generous donors have our thanks.
s For Hilton Head. —The steamer “Emily”
will leave at 10 o'clock this morning for
Hilton Head.
Gen. Hancock has expressed the opinion
to the President, which the latter thinks is
entirely well founded, that if the army could
be presently increased by 400,000 men, not
one of them would ever be required to fire a
a musket at the enemy.
There is a family in the western part of
this State which is known as the alphabet
tribe, the five children being named Ann,
Benjamin, Cornelius. Deborah and Emily.—
Francis, George, Helen, etc., will come along
probably. .
