This is a great time for pdshing'cn public
work- in Paris, and the ex ton tof building
operation in progre s is quite remarkable.—
Miles of new streets and boulevard uad . ven
ues. are .- .i* . hi,:;; the . --Ives out hi every
direction, and the hot atmosphere is made yet
more suffocating by the dulit of exeat alien*
and demotion ~ The municipality of Paris
now disposes of*Tevenues amounting to mere
than one hundred and, twenty-five millions
of franc* per annum, and etua dispO;- .1 at
this moment to strain its immense resources
to the utmost. Whole quartets of ihe town
are being changed until they can l. .longer be
•-.cognized; the old worn and squalid streets
being pierced [through by princely the:ouga
fares, which are as epee.'.ily lined wo.ii m ..
iiiticent erections, and occupied ns they are
built. Yet, in spite Os all this, rents coiuinne
to rise, arid twenty and thirty thousand frarn -
is here no unusual sum 16 pay for a private
residence, whole stores in good situations fetch
twice or three times as much.
The population cf the French capital, ac
cord ing to returns jufit issued by the Hotel
de Vilie, amounts now to 1,096,151, con:,j,hied
in twenty arrondisr.ementg, or districts, each
of which is presided oyer by a Mayor, 'there
are, therefore in Paris, no less than twenty one
Mayors, the Prefect being the chief Mayor, and
presiding over all. According to tine" ■•nine
returns, which ) was looking over the other
day, I find that, the number of bit tire in l’.cis,
last year, was 52,313, of which 20,505 wore
boys, and 25,507 girls Os the win !- num
ber, 11,501 were illegitimate, and 57.720 b ~n
in wedlock. The number of deaths was 12,-
185, and the ex<- of birth 10,127. Tho
mat tages celebrated, were 15,196.

iug. They ted mo that most of them were
turned out ol their homes by the Russiate in
ttie winter (four in aitOs age) and driven down
to the sea side, where they waited long for
the means of getting away. ’ Hundreds of them
died from the eo’d, and hundreds hunger.
Wo have all had it, or have it now; and I
answer for the truth of this, for nearly every
man, woman and child I see is marked* and in
hundreds the faces and hau-Js are quite raw
with it. Since 1 have been here (three weeks)
three hundred, at the lowest estimate, have
been buried in the sands outside the town.
They all say they li tl of ccrt l. We ha ve hid
much rain, especially at ’ night, and these
poor.wretches have had to sho p out in it with
nothing to cover them but their orUmsry

men, of a sort ot along dressing gown a: Hi -n
pair of drawers.
After one ol these uights the dead lie thick

think, to follow Maun. Oi course the women
and children sitter most. To J uw a

They were in a dreadful state. 1 noticed one
worn in cariisd by five men; she was a rr:e ■
skeleton, in her arms she had a baby that
could not have been more than a tew hours
old.
1 saw a man walking by a cart, v-lth live of
his children in it; lie was" a tine looking fellow,
but oh, so thin! and Mm poor children toe
most fearful objects t ever saw. 1 shall river
forget the sight! Their skins were so tight
over the bones that it seemed those must coiue
through; and indeed, in the cnee of ono poor
little thing about three years old, covered with
sores, 1 believe the bones were through the
skin. They tell me it is starvation from
hunger that is killing tueiu, but starvation
from cold. It ijas barn ve v cold spriug here,
and even now a well clothed map would sudor
from Bleeping in the ( pan air at night. The
Turkish Government does what it <• m for the ■
miserable people, but lliat amounte only to
bringing them here, and giving oacu person
two pounds of bread per day.

The Archduke Maximilian was at present in

adopt that course until the main portion of

her machinery. The boilers were put aboard
that afternoon. The engines, nominally 180
horse power, have been since put on board and
the vessels prepared for sea. On Thursday, 16
days from her launching, she proceeded on her
trial trip, making 16 miles per hour. She is
evidently intended for blockade mnning, and
will doubtless, from her great speed, prove
profitable to her owners.

On April 15th lat, the autograph ietters of
the Emperor of the French were presented to
the two Kings of Siam by the French Consul
with great solemnity. The constitution of
Siam gives an independent and equal power to
«anh sovereign, so flint any compliment naid
to the one, must, of necessity, he repeated to
the other. The reception given to the Consul
by the first King was carried out according to
the ancient etiquette of Siam ; the Consul was
accompanied by thirty-nine magnificent gon
dolas, by banners and palanquins, by Man
- in the richest costumes, aud a body of
troops, about 1 500 in number. The King
received him seated on his Throne of State,
with his most splendid crown on his head, aud
decorated with the insignia of the Grand Cross
of the Legion of Honor. He stopped from hi:?
tnroiie to-take from the hands of tho Consul
the golden vase containing the Emperor’s letter
which was, of course, in ihe French language,
hut accompanied by an English translation,
ihe King said that the receipt of this letter
reminded him of that addressed by Louis XIV,
to his predecessor, Phra Nazai, and proceeded
to translate it into Siamese for the benefit of
his Court. In the evening the Consul was in
vited to a private entertainment, at which he
met the King, surrounded by his young family,
and coayertQd with him tor a iong time in
the English language. The interview .with the
second King was equally brilliant, and had
his peculiarity, that this sovereign, while re
maining faithtal to Ihe traditions of Siam, has
adopted customs and even Court oeremonies of
an entirely European character.

against Major Gen. John A. Dix and staff for
an alleged misdemeanant in illegally seizing

City Judge had prepared his opinion and re
turned to the city ou’Monday for.the purpose of
delivering it iu open court, hut was unable to
do so by reason of a severe attack of erysipe
las, which confined him to' his room. On Sat
urday,- however, his Honor had sufficiently re
covered to be able to he out, when he filed
his opinion in the District Attorney's office.—
Subjoined is the decision:
The People agt. John A. Dix and Others.—
It is unnecessary for me, in deciding Ibis mat
ter, to rehears,the facts of the case. The defen
dants, through their counsel, plead themselves
under the protection of section 4 of the Act of
Congress of March 4, 1863, entitled “An Act
relating to the habeas corpus, and regulating
judicial proceedings in certain cases.” If that
provision is constitutional it assimilates the
President of the United States, during the ex
istence of the present rebellion to an absolute
monarch, clothes him with all tho imaginary
perfection of that monarch, and makes him in
capable of doing any wrong. This is very no
yei and startling doctrine to advance under a
a republican form of Government.
1 have given the case a most careful consider
ation, ou the one hand seeking to avoid an un
due interference with Ihe agents of the General
Government in the performance of their duty,
and, on the other, keeping before me my own
obligation to uphold aud enforce the laws of
this Sta e. Ido not deem it proper to State in
detail the views 1 entertain upon tho legal
principles so ab'iy discussed before me by the
counsel on both sides. Such an exposition of
t o law would he more appropriate should this
case -come before the court for trial. It strikes
me, however, as a lit occasion to enable the
great questions involved in it to be brought up
in such a shape as to admit of their being ab
solutely and finally settled.
IT ttie Act of Congress iu question Is con
stitutional in the particular contended for by
tho defence, it does look as though it impar
ted to the President powers raising him above
the instrument which creates his office, aud
giving him ihe right, in his discretion, to obey
that instrument or not.
The principle is not mooted for decision in
this case as to how far the President can act
upon a State in which insurrection or rebellion
prevails, and where the powers of the civil
authorities have been suspended and the civil
law substantially expelled. In such a con
dition of things he must and ought to have
very great poweis in older to restore and
maintain the laws.
In this State civil power is, and has always
been, iu the ascendant. Oar citizens are sup
posed to enjoy the blessings of the Federal Con
stitution, and repose under the benign opera
tions of their own immediate legislation. If a
rebellion in any of the insurrectionary States
can deprive them of this, then the Government
of every State in the Union is at the mercy of
every other State. It cannot be possible that
any effort to suppress an insurrection n a se
ceuing State, requires any disturbance of the
institutions of the loyal States. It* the Presi
dent can direct anything to be done in this
State ire pleases, and hn order is a perfect
shield to those who obey his commands, ha be
comes a despot, and is no longer the chief mag
istrate of a free people.
The distinction, then, is between what' lie
can order to he done in a loyal State and oiib
which is rebellious and claims to have retired
from our confederacy. If he is empowered to
bring back the latter to its allegiance, aud to
force it to submit to the -Federal Constitution
and .the laws enacted in pursuance of it, is he
empowered to obliterate, and tor the time be
ing, to wipe out all constitutional guaranties
in favor of the former ? It ought to be the
law,, if it is not,, that the will oi the President
is not supreme in a loyal Slate. To a certain
extent the Federal Government, like an indi
vidual, is.protectsd by Slate laws, aud in re
turn is to respect and obey them.
These suggestions would app ar to-be fairly
deducible from the healthful principles estab
lished by the Supreme Court of the United
States iu J 5) tie agt. Bardi u, (2 Ciauce, 17i>) and
Luthqr agt Barden, (7 Howard, U. 8. Rp., 1.)
They cert .duly sanction the doctrine that gov
ernments, like individuals, must not only en
force, but obey, the laws. The provision of the
act of Congress relied upon L>y the deiince has
come under review by the Supreme Court of
the State of Indiana in. Griffon agt. Wilcox, (21
Indiana it. 870.) which court pronounced against
its constitutionality in reference to the rights
of its citizens as secured and exercised under its
own laws. The prize cases (2 Black, U States
It. 635,) do not conflict with the ground taken
for the prosecution in this case. The position
of this State, in my view, is this: internally,
we are enjoying our civil Government, as
though no other State had repudiated its alie*-
giance to the Union ; externally, wc are paiti
cipating in an effort to subdue a number of
refractory States. In reference to the point of
intent, which was so s ;l!ou.-:1 v discussed by the
defendants’ counsel, the law is very plain.
If the defendants’ acts were unlawful, and
they were sane when they committed them,
they are presumed to have intended the neces
sary consequences of those acts. Every in
telligent moral agent is supposed to design
every consequence iuevitably his
conduct. Intention, vljeh is said to beetle
Soul of crime, can never be made out but by
and from external conduct. And if it Should
prove in lids cash that the defendant* have no
Legal justification for their acts, tho same pre
sumption will reach them which would atlach
to any other violation of the law.
The. complaints will therefore pass to the
Grand Jury, in the usual way, for its action.
The defendants need not enter into any
written recognizance with sureties. Having
submitted themselves to th** jurisdiction offtha;
laws of ibis State and, wilh the consent of the
District Attorney, been enlarged ou their ver
bal recognizance, it is reasonable to suppose
that the same will be ample security tor their
future appearance, especially as during the argu
ment beforo me one of their learned counsel ex
pressly ratified the same.

To the Ju.tkes of the Inferior Courts and Aids de*
Camp :
I am informed that the Police in some of
the counties who have been detailed, under
Orders from these Headquarters, upon the ap
plication of the Inferior Courts, to act ss a po
lice force for their respective counties, are neg
lecting their duties and giving their attention
exclusively to their owl private affairs. This
connot be tolerated The detail were not grant
ed to them as matter of persouaijavor, but as
matters of public interest.
They are required to give their whole time
to the business of traveling through the coun
ty from plantation to plantation, under such
regulations as the Courts may prescribe, and in
seeing that the negroes on all plantations, left
without overseers, are kept iu subjection, aud
property protected.
This duty is expected to be performed as
promptly and faithfully as they would perform
the duty of soldiers.at the front. No Police
man is expected to give any more of his time to
his OA’n plantation than he does to the planta
tion of like size.of each other person in the
section of the county to which he may bo as
signed by the Court.
Ineaehca3e of neglect to perform his duty
under the rules here laid down, the Court and
he Aids-de-Camp are charged and required to
arrest such delinquent policeman and send him
iin immediately to Maj. Gen. G. W. Smith, at
Atlanta, that he may he compelled to do his
duty at the front. J E. Brown.

As numerous applications are made to this
office by persons now in the Division of Miltia
under command of Maj. Gen. G. W. Smith, tor
furloughs, details aud discharges, I take this
method of stating to all concerned lha; the
Division has been placed under the command
ol Gen. J. B. Hood till snob time as I may
choose to assume thoxommand, or till I shall
order it disbanded, when 1 am satisfied tho
emergency has passed
As it. is important that there be no divided
counsels at Atlanta, when so much depends
upon the result, I deem it proper that Gen.
Hood, while iu command of the Militia, shall
have the entire control. Ko soon, therefore,
ae the men are armed aud sent to Atlanta I yield
the solo commut'd to Gen. Hood, till I shall
think proper to resume it as above stated, aud
alt applications for furlough, detail, or dis
chage must he made to him through the regu
lar military channels. Nono of them will he
acted upon by me. The Hospitals of the Mili
tia are also under the direction aud control of
tho officers in charge of the Department, un
der Ten. Hood, and the State has no control
over them.
During the time that Gen. Hood commands
the Militia they are as absolutely under hia
control, lor the defence of Atlanta, as the
Georgians in Virginia are under the control of
Gen. Lee.
The only difference is in the term of service.
Those in Virginia are iu for the war, while the
Militia are in for the emergency to he judged
by the Governor, aud they are disbanded or

Tub Batilu ok Oi.dtown.—The following ac
count of the battle at Oldtown, Md, is given
in the Cumberland “Union” of the Oth inst:
General Kelley sent Colonel Stought out to
Green Spring run on Monday afternoon—he
having been ordered in previously with his
command —to cut off the retreat of Johnston
and WcCausland, who were expected to reach
Oldtown that evening at six o’clock. Tiie Colt
federates, however, changed their course, and
came in- on tiie Baltimore pike to “capture
Cumberland,” and consequently did not arrive
at Oldtown.
Colonel StoUgh, however, was ignorant of
this fact, and crossed the river, disposing his
command in ambush, at a position two miles
north of Oldtown, as we understand it. There
be and his men, only four hundred and fifty
strong, lay quietly all night, with .vigilant and
wide-awake pickets posted in various direc
»s. At five o'clock on Tuesday morning
Confederates approached in force on our
(bit flank, and when Ihoy came within rifle
range, out- men rose and gave them a lull vol
ley, which emptied several saddles. As -the
volley vran tired a full-breasted Yankee “tiger’’
reut the air, and tho Confederates felt back in
confusion.
Our men fought them until !) o'clock, when
tho Confederates flanked them iu overwhehu
ii.g force, and Col. Stoughs ordered them to tali
b tek across the rever. This litey did gradually,
in line order, the men stopping occasionally to
empty their riiles in tiie brents of the advanc
ing too. O.ae young man of Col. Stough’s re
giment, the one hundred and fifty third Ohio,
young Colfi, id, said to his commander, Capt.
Cross, “I am bound to give them one more
shot.” He did so* and had not moved twenty
paces to the rear before he received a mortal
wound in tits bowels aud fell, saying to bis
comrades, “I am going now, boys. Good bye.”
Our men having creased tiie river, were posted
behind the railroad embankment, and held tho
Contederates back half an hour. The iron
ciad truin having been disabled, could give
the infantry no assistance, and the tiie became
so deadly that the larger portiou cf our men
•were ordered to take the train and withdraw
it to Cumberland. Capt. Cross, supposing Col.
titough on board, pushed off? but the Colonel
remained with a squad and repaired to th“
blockhouse, at which he had previously placed
forty men, an l held the block house for an
hour and a half, notwithstanding the Confede
rate shells weie knocking it to pieces over
their heads.
Col. Stough, at a eleven o'clock,received the
following message by flag of truoe:
Acogcst 2, 18G4.
To the Commander of the Forces in Block
house:
You will surrender the blockhouse and your
torces at once, if you do not, you will not re
ceive any terms. Bradley T. Johnson,
Brig. Gen. Confederate Forces.
The Colonel requested tosjo ihe forces, which
lie discovered had entirely surrounded him,
and one twenty-tour pounder, one twenty-pound
howitzer, ami four throe-inch regulation guns,
in such position as to Itiiockthe blockhouse into
particles in five minutes, and, ou consult
ing with his men, returned an answer to the
effect that he wound surrender only on these
conditions:
1. That he and his men should be imme
diately paroled.
2. That private property should bo respect
ed
3. That the men should retain canteens,
haversacks, blankets and rations, and
4. That he should have a hand car, with
which to transport his wounded to Cumber
land.
These propositions were sent to Gen. Bradley
T. Johnson, commanding a division of Confede
rates signed by Col. L. Stongh, “command; r
of a squad of the one hundred snd fifty-third
Ohio,” and they were immediately accepted
and respected.
Col. Ktough had a lock of hair taken off his
right temple, by a Confederate ball which be
came twisted in it, leaving-a bare spot the size
df a dime on his scalp. lie has also two bul
let boldes in the front of his blonse, near at his
breast.
Gens. Johnson and McCausland treated
Colonel Stough with great courtesy, and com
mended him and his men for their bravery.—
