Would make a good special pleader
he marshal’s his points with the skill of
a practiced Lawyer. Our space pre
cludes our following his course of ar
giiment, but wc hope, success!idly, to
dispose of his prominent objections.
He asks for the evidence that the
question of eligibility in ('< 1. Lester s
case lias been decided be reply that
it has been decided finer. First by the
Judges of the Supreme Court—who
found Col. L. a member of the Legisla
ture when they proposed to el ct him
Reporter. The constitutional ques ion
was then considered whether he could
hold the two positions at the same rime,
and decided affirmatively—an affirma
tion given under the solemnity of their
oath of office.
In the second instance Dixie himself
raised the question during the late can
vass in Cobb and the people decided
emphatically against Dixie and in favor
of Col Lester.
But, says Dixie these are not proper
decisions of the issue—the question has
not been brought before the proper tri
bunal—the Legislature must determin’-
questions involving eligibility W here
there is a simple issue of fact, ofcotirse
but this is a question of slt;u!/<>,.■ d
lair, and it may occur io Dix e that the
Constitmion prox ides some o In ; tiilu
iia! to determine such qm-lions than
the Legislature, and, that the qn< sti.m,
after all would be most appr print, y
decided Uy the Supreme ('em t.
How the question is to be carried up
we submit to Dixie.
The impression th it (101. Lester is
making too much mom y out < f these of
fices is greatly ex iggerated. I lie I u-i
ness of the Com t has been almost
wholly suspended ami having no mate

that the session of tin- 1 g -i.i ture n ■ uld
be brief ami profitless to him in the
point i t view which cause s s
easiness in Dixie
That Col. Lester will al l\ repre.vrt .

[communicated.]
Ed. Advocate :
Your reply to my inquiries in relation
to the eligibility of Col, Lester does not :
in my judgment meet the question at ,
issue.
You say that the question is not new
ly raised, but you failed to tell us when
and where it was raised, who were the i
parties, what court held jurisdiction of .
the subject matter, from what county it
went up on writ of error, who reported
the case, and in which volume of the
Reports it is to be found. If the ques
tion was not raised by parties in some
of the Superior Courts of this State,
how could the Judges determine the
question they are by the Statute or
ganising the court, only to review such
cases as may be carried up, on writ of
error from the opinion or judgment of
the court below, and if they have gone,
beyond the power conferred by the Con
stitution ami Statute, organ sing that
tribunal to determine questions that
could not iegitima‘ciy go before them,
it is time the people should know it.—
Their sworn duty is to determine ques
tions of law, when properly presented,
nothing more, nothing less; and if it be
true that th. y have determined this
question, they have willfully transcend
ed their powers, and violated an express
provision < f the constitutioii winch says
that each house shall be the judge of
itselec’ion returns, and which they have
sworn to support.
Again, you say that Col. Lester is
simply the servant of the (ourt. I
would respectfully ask, who pays the
salary of this servant ? '1 lie law says
the State or Georgia will pay this sal
ary by warrant drawn on the >tate
Treasurer. Do you intend to say that
the Supreme Court ’he creature of the
law is sovereignty itself ? If you do
thou your proposition is correct — and
he is the servant of this Supreme pow
er ! II not your argument falls to the
ground. 1 deny that b.e is the servant
of the court ; but on the contrary is
perfectly independant of that tribunal
so long as he makes up the facts of the
case, and reports their decisions cor
rectly; wh<m lie refuses or neglects this
I duty, then they, as the agents of the
■ State, are required to discharge him,
' and elect another who will. '1 he du
ties of Reporter does not commence un
til the case is made and determined I y
the Court You say in one instance in
i the history of Georgia an Ordinary was
I elected, and solved in the Legislature.
; The fact 1 do not question; usurpation of
, power and enfractions of the < onstitu-
I lion have been often att< mpted, and un
fortunately accomplished in our gov
ernment ; but that certainly is no argu
ment io sustain a like disregard of the
law and Constitution. Yon youreslfad
mitting that it was in violation ot the
: intenf. o\' that instrument. But it does
' strike me that the Statute organise g
the ("ourt settles the quest ion. When it
says that said Reporter shall take all
I other oaths prescribed lor other civil
officers. If the Keportei was not inten
| ded to fill an office why the neiessity of
prescriliing his duties, but leave (be
j Court to arrange that matter for lie
I government of their own servant; what
’ authority had ilie legislature to inter
fere* with, and direct the movements of
the private piopci ty of J edges Lumpkin,
Lyon and .Jenkins. Who 1 would a>k
. gives the Col. a copy right for these re
ports that 1 e fixes up as the servant of
this august tribunal, and out of which
he realizes, fillet n hundred to two thou

IV A « A N D ITS EVII.S.
In the perusal of the paces of history
from the antediluvian ages the
present day, we see that war has exis- '
ted ever since the establishment of sep-
I arato governrnen’s and distinct nations.
: Those are tunes when it is just and pro
j per for one people to contend with an
! oilier in deadly strife, when their in- .
dienable riglrs arc at stake ; but in
numberless instances we see that the
causes are almost insignificant in com
parison w’ith the direful effects. r l his
evidently shows the proneness of man
to trample down ami slaughter his fel
low man for the sake of power and pre
ferment.
There seetrs to be magic in the sound
of the trumpet as it summons the war
rior to the battle field, and m flu* rc
verbera'ions of the hoofof the war-horse
l as ho s’amps the earth as if in the fury
I . - •
jof coiitest, which urges him m whom
i rests the nnl minded lust of power, to
I mount his steed and fly to lhe blood-
■ stained field. There seems to be an cn
i clmntment in the very word to the youth
I who cherishes within his breast a burn
ing passion for the glory of conquest.
lie who admires that which imparts
grandeur, sublimity and awfulness, is
carried away when he pictures before
his imagination two mighty armies ar
rayed against each other in the heat of
battle, with the instruments of war
clashing in every direction, reechoing
ilu* death knell of thousand- J sen’s.—
But the sublimitv which it brings is not
such as imparts pleasant < motions, but
resembles that of a tornado as it sweeps
over tin* face of the i arth ai.d spreads
desolation and destruction in its every
i pa’h.
Glory and conquest are i ot the only
| consequents of wat, it is followed by
the direst evils. ]i not only has a ten
dency to demoralize the people ami im
poverish governments, but thousands of
| souls are dispatched to the laud of spir
i its without preparation. Literature
[ ami Science cease to pr gross, hence
civilization retrogrades. But the most
■ appalling, heart-rending spectacle is af
| ter the struggle is over, and tin sur
j vivers have left the seem* of action ;
■ then to view the gory plain cover* d
j with the dead and dyin r stained witii
! their own I f 's I I >od, w'th m> friend to
I deposit ’.heir last remains in tiie mother
■ earth : with no cmipanion of
i other tlays to point them to tin? lamb ol
j God in tin ir last hunts ; with n * bfoth
ler <>r sister, or any firesid ■ mgel to
! dress tin ir wounds and bathe their ach-
ing blow ; then it is tliat wc !■ h”ld th* 1
evils of war in ih< ir dir<-st aspect.

Retiring (■•■ i.rivate i fe a’ (he cl”<e of
the Mexican war, he t< k no pi minent
partin politics until 1-52. In that
r ■
*»f the Missouri Democracy united on •
him as their candidate f r Governor,
and lie was elert< ti by a t. nmphant
majority. In hi- t nr * years gnl-eum .
tonal term, he distinguished h ins -l! for
fi’s administrative ability, obtaining, by :
almost universal consent, the reputa
tion of having been the best executive
Missouri has ever had. By a Jackson
ian use cf his veto power, he emb-avored
to artest extravagant loans ot the State
credit to build up mammoth railroad
corporations. But, as by tiie Missouri ,
Constitution, a lull can be passed over ,
the veto by a bare majority ol the (
whole mi über ol members elected to
each branch of the Legislature, his es- i
forts faded, and the present deplorable |
coiidition of Missouri’s finances is main- ■
lv attributable to the neglect of his
counsels. As the leader ol the regular
Democracy, he greatly contributed to
ihe overthrow of Bentonism in that
State. At the close ol his gubernatori
al term, in 1856, lie was a favorite of a
large portion of the Democracy lor a
place in the United States Senate, but 1
to j revent dissension in his party, lie |
magnanimously vieidedliis claims in
favor of James S. Green, who was, con
sequently, elected.
In 18t0, in common with the mass of
the Southern Rights Democrac v of Mis
i souri, he supposed Mr. Douglas, though
diss< nting trom his squatter sovereign
ty doctrines, 'f lic result of the astute
course of the leading Southern Rights
men in Missouri last year —much mis
understood by those unfamiliar with the
coniolicated poli ics ot that State—was
j tc give he Secessionists control of the
State government in all its branches
ami Mr. Douglas the unsulstantia
c< mplimeiit ot nine electoral votes for
the i’residency.
At the election prematurely ordered
by the Missouri Legislature lor a State
Convention in February last, and held,
under the almost annihilating’ influence
of tiie Virginia and Tennessee elections
which had preceded it, Gov. Price was
chosen without opposition, to repre
sent his district in that body, and by
like unanimity was selected to presid •
over it. His position, as shown by his
votes in the Convention, in March last,
was tliat all honorable, peaceful efforts
should be used to bring tiie Gull’States
back into th * late Union, but that on
the failure of these efforts, the inter
ests, sympathies and dignity of Mis
souri demanded that she should join her
; Southern sistets.
On the 10th of May last the brutal
conduct of Lyon and his Hessians, at
the capture ol Camp Jackson, near St
Louis, initiated the war now going’ on
between the State authorities of Mis
souri and the Lincolnites. Governor
Price immediately repaired m the Cap
itol of f tate, and on the 12th accepted
from Governor Jackson the command-in
chief ol the Missouri forces. The or
ganization of the Missouri militia not
having provided for any rank higher
than li.it ol Brigadier, the Legislature
passed an act creating one office* of Ma
jor General to command the whole mil
itia in time of war an . it was at once
conferred upon Governor Price.
W ith his military career since that
period the pubic is familiar. Previous
to the fiattle ot Booneville, he was at
tacked by a bilious fever, which pre
vented liis being’near ihe scene of ac
tion. At the battle near Springfield lie
magnanimously j ield to the claim of
Brigadier General Me. 1 ’ulloch, and serv
ed undei his command; although being
a Aiaior General he was his superior
in rank. Nothing - more strikingly ex
hit’its his self-sacrificing disposition
than this concession; n. thing’ more
clearly shows his standing in Missouri
than the fact that, he could afford to
to make it, with’ nt diminishing’ ihe un
bounded confidence reposed in him by
i his own troops.

From ibe Christian Advocate
FROM I’lls i IJI*S’ LEGION.
Mr. Editor, — Par ly to gratify my ca
coeth's scribendi, partly to gratify my
friends, and partly to accede to your
request for Chaplains in the army to
to write for the “Advocate,” I send
you this communication from Lynch
burg, Va.
The Legion of which I am chaplain
is known in Georgia as Phillips’ Le
gion. It is composed ol ten companies
five of Riflemen, four ol Cavalry, and
rm*, of Heavy Infantry. It is under the
c mmand of Col. Wm Phillips, a man
every way worthy to hold such a posi
tion. Cool in courage, kind and cour
teous in manner, stric in niorali y, an f
possessed wi h all military ability, he
bids fair ’o take place with the first
Colonels in the service. Our Colonel is
not only strictly moral but religions in
life. For many years he has been ti '
Methodis , and for a long’ portion of
tli t time occupied < ffieial positions in
the Church. No" has he laid aside his
Christian pr session in entering - tin*
army. He maintains i> and endeavors
at all times to evince his love for the
good. An incident of ihe Colonel’s
treatment to his men 1 must roll for’he i
gratification of those who ha”e children
and friends under his command. He
was with me late in the night and we
passed together a sentry on the post.
“How,” said the Colonel to the sen*'
try, “yon here? I thong - ! t you had
been sick.”
“1 ha vi*, sir,” said the sentinel. “And
have you no overcoat?” t-aid Colonel
Phillips
“No, sir.”
■she Colonel came on and g'oing int >
his own (ent broneht forth a comfor’a
ble blanket and p'ai.‘ed on t! e shoulders
of the sentinel. It is needless to mid
that to such a Colonel the men are de
votedly at ached.
Our L’cut. C'llonel is a graduate of
’>!<! Emory. Seaborn Jones, Jr. It is
only neecessa-y to say that h< is a son
of Col. Jno. A Jones, who for th’rty year
has maintained unceasingly the duty
of the South to seperate from the North
in order t<> convince those who know
the old Colonel that there is no braver
man any when*, lie is as courteous and
honorabl •as he is ( rave. Onr Major
Wilcoxson, who has charge of the Cav
alry is from t 'owet i.
He is a worthy compeer of worthy as
socia'os. When I t<*ll you that of our
ten Captains we have five excellent
Christian men and all the others stiict
ly correct and upright, and that our
Lieutenants are of like grade, you
have fine security for onr good behav
iour, and were you to know (lit* m -n
whocomuose the various companies of
this Legion, you would have no fear in
ordering them to lhe foremost rank
where balls fall the thickest.
The I egion was ordered to Camp
Davis Lyn hburg, Va, on the 2nd of
Aneust I joined them soon after their
arrival which was about the 26th of Au
gnst. W e were thus long on the route
because of the difficulty of our trans
portation. So many men and horses
had to come t > Virgini i after the Brig
ade was disorganized, that i’ was im
possible for ns to lie here sooner. I
find been with them only a little while
when I was called again to Georgia to
accompany the body of Lieut. Peck of
Capt. W’addcl’s company in Col. Smith’s
Regiment.
He died at Gord iusville on Tuesday
morning. In company with his brother
and a friend I pursued my way to Geor*
gia. A nobler man than Lieut. Peck if
would be hard indeed to find, and it
gives me joy to hope that lie died in
peace.
'flic trip I made through Georgia was
for hospital stores for our Legion, 'lhe
appeal was not made too soon nor can
a response be too propmt. From every j
; point I received tin* most cordial wei- j
| come and from every village a most i
j noble conti ibution. Tothe citizens of,

ham, Lnmpk’n, and Cherokee, we can- 1
not tender too warmthanks for their
I generous liberality.
lam here at my post and have alienpy
b(gnn religious services. In these ser
vices I h tve the encouragement ami
assistance of many of the officers and
men, and we hope for good results in
after time. We cannot too anxiously
look for the harvest time of souls wno
an* as near eternity’s verge as ’hesol
dier; n>r can wo too earnestly solicit
earnest, unceasing prayer, from our
brethren of the Church.
We are ordered to join Gen. Floyd

TIIE DEFENCES OF NEW ORLEANS,
The “Picayune” ol Bth ins’., has the
following encouraging- intelligence:
lhe city of New Orleans is assuming
t.ie aspect of a large camp. Everywhere
and al! the Hme the din of martial pre
paration is going on—the tramp of the
soldiery, the inspiring sound if the
mar ial music, and he rumble of wag
ons, carrying camp equipages munitions
and artillery to the points si leccd by
military science for tiie public defen -
ces. 'I he possibility of a wild attempt
by flu* malevolent cnemv to make a de
scent upon onr coasts, or force his way
up ’he river, is calling out the whole
population to arms. The summons for
the militia has had the’wo fold eflect of
preparing a large reset veil organiza
tion for ihe contingencies of an actual
invasion, and ot filling up the volunteer
companies with the best material for
j soldiers.
We will not speculate np< n lhe num
ber of defenders wh.i might be rallied
for a case of act mil defence; but we
will venture the opinion that no possi
ble force which Linciiju could bring - to
tin* coasts, even if they could efl’ ct a
landing, would ever reach the ci y ex
cept as prisoners. By land are impreg
