The rations dealt j for the purposo of having tho establish nut to them were not onlv scantv. bnt th ' mont cleansed and renovatod. The build- meat und articles of tood given tbom were ofteD eo had and ofrensive that tboy had to be thrown away. They were not only badly fed but they were subjected to the severest discipline. An inslauco of this is relatcd to us which will show tbo harshnoss an,j cveil cruelty visited upon our men One ef our prisoners, Jessio Wharton of Maryland, was standing at tho window, within the bars, quietly looking out.

Exam iner. Arms and the Law. We hear that Judge Meredith decided an important case on Monday, vindicating theauibority and scope of tbe civil power, over tbo military. It seem a lad, Ii. P. Farise, had been, somo weeks since, discharged on a writ of habeas corpus, by tho Circuit Court of Richmond, in termeesion. After his discharge, Faris wont to camp, witoa copy of tho order of Court discharging him in his possession. Captain W. W. Parker, to whose company Fariss belonged, arrested tbe lad, placed hira in thegurd house, and by order of his Colonel preferred charges against him for ueingaoseni vfiinout leave. These charges wero preferred after Captain Parkor had, in his possession, a copy of the order of discharge by lhe Court. Another writ of habeas corpus was awar ded, and on Mobday the return was made, stating substantially that Fariss was regu larly enlisted, and while fn tho service had been regularly court-martialed for being abseni wiihoat leave, and found guilty. It appearing on ihe faoo of the return that tho charges had been preferred sinco lhe discharge, as above staled, tbe J udge ruled, that ho could not hear any evidence, or rocoive any explanation now of the arrest of Fariss. Ho had boen regularly discharged by the Circuit Court of Richmond, as having been improperly enlisted, bein under eighteen years old; the case had been reg ularly heard counsel for the youth and tho Government were present Captain Parker had been examined, and tbe Court had discharged Farias That judgment was final and conclusive. It could only bo reached by a regular appeal ; and tbjO arresi of tho youth was without authority, and he should now discnargu him; and nt iha next regu lar term ot his Court he .-hou d have a wrii issued against Captain I'arker, to sbow cause why ho should not be attached fr wu n ' v u"r V n.UH8 Pceeo.n. one- , . . n . , . - o h 1 11 rU1( 001,1,4 ""'' 00 1,1 lerm l,mo. or hC WOllId baC 1 SS U ed 1 1 II tftaJ Of ll i S WTIt. j i ! , 4 1 ar'ss mnR!- discharged, and Captain j rT'"x " ,u Hli t-.o coa. s of this applicHlion.
