ON THE INCREASE-The regiment of Colonel Gus Artsman at Camp Webster in Jamestown, is rapidly filling up with the finest kind of recruits. There seems to be a probability, unless Colonel Mundy meets with better success than he has so far, that Colonel Artsman's Regiment will be the first to take the field.

A writ of habeas corpus was served on Colonel Gus Artzman yesterday, requiring him to produce the body of Jacob Renner, who is alleged to be a minor, illegally detained as a soldier in Colonel A's regiment at Camp Webster. The case was brought before Mayor Hawkins, who dismissed it on the ground that the jurisdiction of the Court did not extend beyond the city limits of the city of Newport and as the body was not in court, he had no authority to compel Colonel Artzman to produce it. The case will be tried before Judge Boyd today.

Jonathan F Fish, who reviewed the troops, after which they marched to a brewery on Scott street, where they were treated to an much good ale as they could drink. Mr. Fisk delivered a patriotic speech to the soldiers and the boys returned to their camp at Jamestown in high spirits.
