The Armv may be regarded in consequence of the small number of the tank and file in each Company and Regiment, as little more than a nucleus around which to rally the military force of the country in case of war, and yet its services in preserving the peace of the frontiers of things, were greatly heightened by the arrest and imprisonment ofa subject of Great Britain who, acting a it was alleged, as a part of a military force, bad aided in the commission of an act, violative of the territorial jurisdiction of the United States,and involving the murder of a citizen of the State of New York.
