e thousand dollars he procured a substitute in the person of the Rev. E. E. Orvis, attorney-at-law, a clergyman of the Reformed Baptist Church and 35 years, to join another artillery company. Therefore, the Rev. Mr. Orvis, although paid by Allen to serve as his substitute for the waaving expended his money most unprofitably, except to the lucky Rev. Mr. Orvis. Should Judge Halyburton, on Monday next, when he renders a decision, release Orvis, we suppose the only remedy of the luckless Allen will be an action against Orvis for damages, or the institution oOrvis for damages, or the institution of criminal proceedings against him for obtaining money upon false pretences, Orvis having bound himself to act as Allen's substitute for the Orvis having bound himself to act as Allen's substitute for the war. Allen, we learn, is a poor overseer, and the father of a large and helpless family, who spent every cent which he was worth in procring a substitute for the war in the person of the Rev. Attorney, Mr. Orvis. The restitution to the poor man of the thousand dollars which h

C. S. District Court. --Judge Halyburton, at the session of his Court yesterday, gave his opinion in the habeas corpus case of the Rev. E. E. Orvis, the facts in which we have heretofore published. He decided that the reverend gentleman was not liable to military duty, notwithstanding the fact that he had been employed by Mr. Allen as a substitute for the war, and therefore discharged him. Another case, which occupied the attention of the Court yesterday, was that of W. A. Bass, who had applied to be discharged from military service. Mr. Bass, in 1862, was exempt from military duty because of being an employee in the Examiner newspaper office. Some short time after he quit the Examiner, sought employment in the Danville Railroad Company's office, and afterwards left there and obtained exemption in the Enquirer office. After getting an exemption in the last office, he was reported to the Conscript Bureau as having left the railroad without being discharged. The letter of

Substitution--Rev. E. E. Orvis. --We have received a letter from the above named gentleman, in explanation of his appearance before Judge Halyburton, on the 17th inst., on a writ of habeas corpus,"asking to be discharged from military service," which we append. Mr. O. says: "The contract which I, in perfect good faith, entered into with Fayette Allen and the Government I have fulfilled to the very letter. No man can truthfully say that I have failed in the slightest particular in my duty to either. Mr. Allen received his exemption " for the war." Would it not be a violation of the faith of the Government to ignore the validity of that exemption, secured by a strict compliance with the law, on his part? I was mustered into the service in his place "for the war, unless sooner discharged." Such are the terms of the enlistment. Am I to blame that I was sooner discharged, when that discharge was not at my instance? And after performing faithfully and conscientiously every
