We must have this city properly forlifwd and

The dispatch Jfn>m Mobile, which we lay be

intelligence and aim..=4 confirms tho ill-foro

most oppressive for some days past. Gloomy

pair of Vicksburg being held and Grant’s army
being utterly lost to the Yankees. The :suc
however is a fearful one and must, wo sup
pose, result io the lo; s of either our army or
theirs. Vicksburg anJPour forces there will
fall Into their hands, or they into ou:s. This
seems to be inevitable, with the lights before

But if Vicksburg fall and the forces al that
point are captured by the enemy it will be
only a cause for regret, but u«-t despondence.
Our final success don't depend on the holding
of any <;>nt point «.r any half dozen points.—
If the Yankees lake Vicksburg, and Mobile,
and Charleston and Richmond, wo will still
be unoonquered ; And we will be nneonquered
till We all go down in t he arms of death, Our
motto is ‘•NEVER SURRENDER;” never
yield to the t-uemy. Our independence is to
bo gained at In-t by the unconquerable trill of
our people; that determination never to suc
cumb, though overrun, down-irodden, devas
tated and starved. A people wi^h this spirit
can never be oouquored. If we have not got

gives the Mlowing narrate
scenes in the life of the gro.-
son :
The secular papers have already conveyed to
most of our rcaders'ihe sad intelligence of t !>c
death of this bravo ar.d beloved man, which
took pi ico on Sunday, the 10th inst., a! (he house
ot Mr. Chandler, near Guinea’s Station. The
blow is so heavy and stunning that wo have not
tho heart Io dwell'upon it, or to give him the
tribute which his meinorv deserves. A brave-,
belter man hat never laid his life on the altar'ol
human liberty, and his death, as far as man c;;:i
see, is an irreparable loss. His high religious
character, his courage, ski 1, rapidity of motion,
arid marvelous success, had given him a hoid on
the army such as no other tnan had, aud it wa?
felt that his very name was a symbol of victory.
There was no man who inspired thecnomy with
so much terror, or tor whom they had i i their
secret hearts a more unbounded respect.
But it nitty be that we had !>• gun to rely on
bis great name instead ot that of the Lord our
Gbe, and to. teach us' the lesson of absob■ i>
liance on himself, God has removrd onr beloved
and idolized General. Wc cannot now attempt
to fathom this great sorrow, or interpret it?
meaning, but we know that it is right, and we
how in silent and sad submission
The immediate cause of his death was pneu
monia, which his system, prostrated by tho
wounds and amputation, was unable to cast off.
And It is a characteristic fact that the cold
which issued in this pneumonia was contracted
i>y his unselfish anxiety for the health ol some
young members of his etafl The night before
the bat tle was spent on the field, and having no
extra covering at #11, after great urgency, ho ac
cepted the cape of one of his aids, but in a
short timo arose and gently laid it over the young
mnn, and spent the night just as ho was. This
exposuro produced a cold which ended in pneu
monia.
A few nights before this battle an equally
characteristic incident occurred that is worthy
of record, lie was discussing with one of
bis aids tho p< s-ability and issue of a battle,
when he became unusually excited. After
talking it over fully, ho paused and with deep
humility and reverence naid, “My trust is in
God.” t hen ns if the sound of battlo was in his
oar, he raised himself to his tallest stature,
and with fl isbiug eyes and n face all blazoned
with tho fire of conflict, he exclaimed, “I wish
they wonld come.” This humble trust in God,
j«ck»on | w so have doubtless been madtS. His thoughts
editor frail | vibrated between religions subjects and the
j b utle-fiold, now asking some question about
; tae Bible, or church history, and then giving
j mt order, “Pass the infantry to the front,”
“Tell Major Hawks to send forward provisions
to the men, “Let us cross over tho river and
i rest under the shade of the trees,” until at
la ,t his gallant spirit gently passed over the
dirk river, and entered on Us rest where tho

After ho was wounded he retained bis oheer-
fiillne&s and remarked to a friend tho pteasa-
rablenes3 of the sensation in taking chloro
form; stating that, he was conscious of every
thing that was done to him, that tho sawing
of his bone, sounded to him like the swoeleBt
music, anil every sensation was one of do-
light
Conversing with an aiJ he painted to his
mutilated arm and said, “Many people would
regard this as o great misfortune, I regard it
os one of tho greatest blessings of my life.”
Mr. S. remarked, “All thing? wovk together
for good, to those that love God.” “Yes,
yes,” he emphatically said, “that’s it, that’s
it ”

note, so characteristic of his own generosity

modosty and reverence, “General Lea should

When it was told him that Gnu. Stuart h> I

the watchword, “charge and remember Jack-
on,” and that inspired by this, they made so
brilliant and resistless an onset, he was deep-’
ly moved, and said, “it was just like them.
They are a noble hody of men ” He was
deeply affected by Gen. Paxton’s death.
His mind ran very muoh on the Bible and
religious topic& He inquired of Lieut. S., a
Theological student on Ins Staff, whether they
had ever debated in the Semin try the ques
tion, whether those who were miraculously
by Jesus ever had a return of the disease.”—
“ I do not think,’’ he slid, “ they could have
returned, for the power was too great. The
. r paralytic would t.ev-.-r again 'link- with
patey. Oh! for infinite power !”
He endoavored to oheer those who were
around him. Noticing the sadness of liia be
loved wife, he said to her tenderly, “I know
you would gladly givo your life for me, but I
am perfectly resigned. Do not be sad—I hope
I shall recover. Pray for me, bnt always re
member in your prayer to use the petition, thy
will be done.” Those who were around him
noticed a remarkable development of tender
ness in his manner and feelings during his ill
ness, that was a beinliful mellowing of that
iron sternness and imperturbable calm that
characterized him in his military operations.
Advising his wife, in the event of his death,
to return to her father’s house, he remarked,
“ You have akindand good father. But there
is no one so kind and goed as your Heavenly
Father.” When she told him that the doctors
did not think he could live two hours, although
he did not himself expect to die, he replied,
“ It will be infinite gain to he translated to

Constable, |

Sidney P.-Bruce. j
Sub-Enrolting Officer. J
Upon hearing aud considering this case, it is
ordered and adjudged by this Court that the
piaintifl, Martin D. Nelms, Constable, be released
3 tul discharged irom the custody and control of
iiliioj 1 P. Bruce, SubsEiirolling Officer, for the
Habeas Corpus.
Thc Supreme Court, in the decision delivered
in the'Senate Chamber in November test, quote
and specify divers clauses in the Constitution of
the Confederate .Slates, which they say. restrain
dud forbid the power of Congress to conscript
tho civil officers of the States, and it is manifest
u. const able in n civil officer as elt-arly so as the
Judges of tho Supreme Court themselves.
They, further declare in the same decision that
Congress has exempted tie: civil officers.
They further say in the same decision tlmt if
Congress should attempt In conscript civil offi
cers,jhn Judges should grant habras corpus and
release them.
Nor are these principles mere dicta, not in
volved in the question before the court. The
sole question was the constitutionality of the
conscript ten, and tho only manner in which
they allow it to bo constitutional, is with.tho
limualioq and restraint that they have no power
to conscript civil officers, thereby making tho
limitation and restraint part and pared of the
power.under consideration, and of the vory es
sence of tho decision itself—and these views
wore expounded at length in the presence and
hearing of the whole court, and it was an
nounced that the wh.ole court wero unanimous
therein.
In obedience to these views of the power of
Congress, and of the duty ol Judges I have ts-
aind this Habeas Corpus and now discharge this
complaint. When we remember that thc-same
Congress which enacted the conscript law has
solemnly decided that no power, not even the
Supreme Court of the Confederate States, shall
be permitted to review and annul any decision
of tho Supremo Court of a sovereign State, we
can only regret that same Congress will not, ai
feast did not use tho coercive power vested in
them by tho Constitution to compel the military
authority to obey and respect tho power oLthe
Supreme Court of the State, ihua made sacred
by the Congress itself.
There is another-view of the case which" might
give us pause, before State officers are allowed
to lie conscripted. It was enacted at the last
session of Congress, just before its expiration,
“there shall also be exempted all State officers,
whom the Governor of any State may claim to
have exempted, for the due administration of
the Government and laws thereof.” Now the
Governor of. this State has not said, that I know
of, that he does not need the constables, nor has
ho said to the contrary, but surely he is entitled
to a reasonable time, which has nof yet elap.-cJ.
I wish distinctly to say, how ever, that 1 do not
place this decision on this last ground. The
Constitution has spoken through the Supreme
Court, and, by act of Congress, cannot' bo re-
viewed bj any other tribunal. *l’o place my de
cision, therefore, on this test ground would he
as incongruous, and as much out of place as to
holdup atorch to aid the light of thts sun at

State Convention Calle l In New York.
I rV PEACE AND RE-UN10S.
.Representatives from each senatorial dis*
itrict in the Stato of New York have issued an
address to the people, calling for a convention
, in the oily of New York, on the 3d of June
j pms., “to take tneasuros in favor of a speedy
i settlement of our unnatural sectional war.”
j The address, after reciting that all political
j power is derived from the people, and that
“the creature cannet becomo superior io the
creator,” speaks as follows:
| We love the Union. Wo will never willing-
I ly relinquish it. I's enemies are our enemies,
i and the enemies of human progress, civiliza
tion and self-government. Wc arc opposed to
; lll o separation uf these States, Rnd for this
rca-niu urc opposed to all measures, whether
of peace or war, tending to that result. We
think tho effort to sustain the Union by force
or arms, in the hands of tboBe A -U 0 now di"
rocl, has proved a failure. Whether this fail,
urohae been designed or not, it is cl >nr that
tho effect of the measures adoptod by Congress,
and the inoompe'.eney, fanaticism, and cor
ruption ol men in powor have had this re
suit.
Assuming that the administration desires
to.restore tho Union, it cannot bo accom
plished by mere nrutal force. Nor do wo bo-
liove that the past justifies a continuation of
such a polic , until peaceful remedies have
been attempted and exhausted. As yet they
have not been attempted. Without referring

COMMITS OE THE NEW YmtK HARALD AMi
WASUINOTuN CHRONICLE ON THE DKATII OK
GENERAL JACKSON.
The Herald, alluding to tho death of Gener
al Jackson, says.
This event is a serious and irreparable loss
to the rebel army; for it is agreed on all hands
that Jackson was the nv. st rilfinnt rebel
Goneral developed by this war. From bis
coolness and sagacity, rapid movements and
stubbornness in the fight, and his invarible
good fortune, he resembled Napoleon in his
early career, more than docs any other Gener
al of modern limes. The victory at Clianc elr
lorsvillc is dearly bought. To him was large
ly due tho victory of tho first light, at Hull
Run. Here he received hit nick-name of
“Stonewall,” fr mi the firmness with which
ho and his regiment fought. His raid through
the Valley of the Shcnaml vh was a maa'erly
stroke of strategy, for while be ke;4 MoD >w-
oll’n and Bank’s corps employed, aud ttruek
terror at Washington, by a r ipid retrogade
movement he appeared on the la tie field in
the seven days' fight on the t-hiekahominy,
to (urn the scale just at the i-rilii-iil moment,
while MoD >well was non est, like Patterson at
Bud Run. Again, when Pope was retreating
from tho Kapidau and the Rappahannock,
JacksoD, by forced marches, gained his flank,
mused terriblo confusion and ob'aincd vast
spoil. Lastly, at the battle of Autictam,
after capturing Harper’s Ferry, ho'turnod up
on the right. Clink of our army in time to re
pulse Hooker, save the remnant of Lee's
forces and prevent tho battle from beeombig a
rout.
Wherever- Jackson appeared on any field
victory scons U> have perched upon his ban
ners. He was an universal favorite in th
rebel armies, and popular even in out own.—
What is very curious about the manner of his
wound ib, that he whs shot by some of hi? own
men—which is very probible, in the smoke
aud confusion of so terrible a battle, with
perhaps one part of his lino more advanced
