There being an almost universal desire to sea this important bill, we give it below, in full: An Acr for the Sequestration of the Estates, Property and Effects of Alien Enemies, and for the indemnity of citizens of the Confed erate States, and persons aiding the same in the existing war with the United States. Whereas, The Government and people of the United States have departed from the us ages of civilized warfare in confiscating and destroying the property of the people of the Confederate States of all kinds, whether used for military purposes or not; and whereas, our only protection against such wrongs is to be found in such measuaes of retaliation as will ultimately indemnify our own citizens for their losses, and restrain the wanton excesses of our enemies; Therefore, Section 1. Be it enacted by the Congress ot the Confederate States of America, That all and every, the lands, tenements and hereditaments, goods and chattels, rights and credits within these Confederate States, and every right and interest therein held, owned, poscessed or enjoyed by or for any alien ene my since the twenty-first day of May, one thousand eight hundred and ex cept such debts due to an alien enemy as may have been paid into the Treasury of any one of the Confederate States prior to the passage of this law, be, and the same are hereby se questrated by the Confederate States of Amer ica, and shall be heldifor the full indemnity of any true and loyal citizen or resident of these Confederate States, or other person aiding said Confederate States in the prosecution of the present war between said Confederate States and the United States of America, and for which he may suffer any loss or injury under the act of the United States to which this act is retaliatory, or under any other act of the United States, or of any State thereof, authorizing the seizure, condemnation, or con fiscation of the property of citizens or resi dents of the Cofederate States, or other per son aiding said Confederate States, and the same shall be seized and disposed of as provi ded for in this act: Provided, however, When the estate, property or rights to be effected by this act were, or are within some State of this Confederacy, which has become such since said twenty first day of May, then this act shall operate upon, and as to such estate, property or rights, and all persons claiming the same from and after the day such State so became a member of this Confederacy, and not before: Provided, further, That the pro visions of this act shall not extend to the stocks or other public securities of the Con federate Government, or of any of the States of this Confederacy held or owned by any alien enemy, or to any debt, obligation, or sum due from the Confederate Government, or any of the States, to such alien enemy: And provided also, That the provisions of this act shall not embrace the property of citizens or residents of either of the States of Del aware, Maryland, Kentucky or, Missouri, or of the District of Columbia, or the Territo ries of New Mexico, Arizona, or the Indian Territory South of Kansas, except such of said citizens or residents as shall commit ac tual hostilities against the Confederate States, or aid and abet the United States in the exist ing war against the Confederate States. Skction 2. And be it further enacted, That it is, and shall be the duty of each and every citizen of these Confederate States speedily to give information to the officers charged with ihe execution of this law of any and every lands, tenements and hereditaments, goods and chattels, rights and credits within this Confederacy, and of every right and interest therein held, owned possessed or enjoyed by or for any alien enemy as aforesaid. Section •>. Be It further enacted, That it shall be the duty of every Attorney, agent, former partner, trustee or other person hold ing or controlling any such lands, tenements or hereditaments, goods or chattels, rights er credits,‘.or any interest therein, of or for any such alien enemy, speedily to inform the Re oeiver, hereinafter provided to bo appointed, of the same and to render an account there of, and so far and practicable to price the same in the hands of such Receiver; where upon, such person shall be fully acquitted of all responsibility for property and effects so reported and turned over. And any such person wilfully failing to give such informa tion and render such account shall be guilty of a high misdemeanor, and, upon indictment and conviction, shall be fined in a sum not ex ceeding five thousand dollars and imprisoned no longer than six months, said fine and im prisonment to be determined by the court try ing the case, and shall further be liable to be sued by said Confederate Slates, and subjec ted to pay double the value of the estate, pro perty or effects of the alien enemy held by him or subject to bis control. Skction 4. It shall be the duty of the sev eral Judges of this Confederacy to give this aot specially in charge to the Grand Juries of these Confederate States, and it shall be their duty al each silting well and truly to inquire and report all lands, tenements and heredita monte, goods and chattels, rights and credits, and every interest therein within the juris* diction of said Grand Jury, held by or for any alien enroy, and it shall be the duty of the several Receivers, appointed under this act, to take a copy of every such report, and to proceed in obtaining the possession and control of all such property and effects re ported, and to institute proceedings for the sequestration thereof in the manner herein after provided. Skction 5. lie it further enacted, That each Judge of this Confederacy shall, as early as practicable, appoint a Receiver for each sec tion of the State for which he holds a court, and shall require biut before entering upon the duties of his office, to give a bond in such penality as may be preecibed by the Judge, with good and sufficient security, to be ap proved by the Judge, conditioned that he will diligently and faithfully discharge the duties imposed upon him by law. And said officer shall hold his office at the pleasure of the Judge of the district or section for which he is appointed, and shall bo removed for inoom • peteney. or Infidelity in the discharge of hie trust. And should the duties of any such Receiver, at any time, appear to the Judge te be greater than can be efficiently performed by him, then it shall be the duty of the Judge to divide the district or section into one or more other Reecievers’ districts, according to the necessities of the case, and to appoint a Receiver for each of said newly created dis tricts. And every such Receiver shall also, before entering upon the duties of his office, make oath in writing before the Judge of the district or section for which he is appointed, diligently, well and truly to execute the du ties of his office. Section 6. Be it further enacted, That it shall be the duty of the several Receivers aforesaid to take the possession, control and management of ail lands, tenements and he reditaments, goods and chattels, rights and credits of each and every alien enemy within the section for which he acts. And to this end he is empowered and required, whenever necessary for accomplishing the purpose of this Act, to sue for and recover the same in the name of said Confederate States, allowing in the recovery of credits, such delays as may have been or may be prescribed in any State as to the collection of debts therein during the war. And the form and mode of action, whether the matter be of jurisdiction in law or equity, shall be by petition to the court setting forth, as best as he can, the estate, property, right or thing sought to be recover ed, with the name of the person holding, ex ercising supervision over, in possession of or controlling the same, as the case may be, and praying a sequestration thereof. Notice shall thereupon be forwith issued by the clerk of the court, or by the Receiver, to such person, with acopy of the petition, and the same shall be served by the Marshal or his deputy and returned to the courts as other mesne process in law cases; whereupon the cause shall be docketed and stand for trial in the court according to the usual course of its buisness, and the court or Judge shall at any time, make all orders of seizure that may seem ne cessary to secure the subject matter of the suit from danger of loss, injury, destruction or waste, and tuay, pending the cause make orders of sale in cases that may seem to such Judge, or court, necessary to preserve any property sued for from perishing or waste ; Provided, That, in any case when the Confed erat Judge shall find it to be consistent with the safe-keeping of the property so sequester ed to leave the same in the hands and under the control of any debtor or person in whose hands the real estate and slaves were seized, who may be in possession of the said proper ty, or credits, he shall the same to re main in the hands and under the control of said debtor or person in whose hands the real estate and slaves were seized, requiring, in ev ery such case, such security for the safe keep ing of the propei ty and credit, as he may deem sufficient for the purpose aforesaid, and to abide by such further others as the court may make in the premises. But this proviso shall not apply to bank or other corporation stock, or dividends due, or which may be due there on, or to rents on real estates in cities. And no debtor or other person shall be entitled to the benefit of this proviso unless he has first paid into the hands of the Receiver all inter ests or net profits which may have accrued since the 21sl of May, 1861 ; and, in all cases coming under this proviso, such debtor shall be bound to pay over, annually, to the Receiv er, all interest which may accrue as the same falls due ; and the person in whose hands any other property may be left, shall be bound to account for, and pay over annually to the Re ceiver the net income or profits of said prop erty, and, on failure of such debtor, or other person, to pay over such interest, not income or profits, as the same falls due, the Receiver may demand and recover the debt or property. And, wherever, after ten day’s notice to any debtor or person, in whose hands property or debts may be left, of an application for fur ther security, it shall be made to appear to the satisfaction of the court that the securities of such debtor or person are not ample, the court may, on the failure of the party to give suffix cient additional security, render judgment against all the parlies on the bond for the re covery of the debt or property : Provided, fur ther, That said court may, whenever, in the opinion of the Judge thereof, the public exi gencies may require it, order the money due as aforesaid to be demanded by the Receiver, and if, upon demand of the Receiver, made in conformity to a decretal order of the court, re quiring said Receiver to collects any debts for the payment of which security may have been given under the provisions of this Act, the debtor, or his security, shall fail to pay the same, then, upon ten days’ notice, the said debtor and his security, given by said Reciv er, of a motion to be made in said court for judgment for the amount so secured,said court, at the next term thereof, may proceed to ren derjudgment against said principal and se curity, or againet the party served with such notice, for the sum so secured, with interest theron, in the name of said Receiver, and to issue execution therefore. Sec. 7. Any person in the possession and control of the subject matter of any such suit, or claiming any interest therein, may, hy or der of the oourt, be admitted as a defendant and be allowed to defend to the extend of the interest propounded by him; but no 'person shall be heard in defence, until he shall file a plea, verified by affidavit and signed by him setting forth that no alien enemy has any in terest in the right which he asserts, or for which he litigates, nither directly or indirect ly, by trust, open or secret, and that he liti gates solely for himself, or for some citizen of the Confederate States whom he legally repre sents ; and when the defense is conducted for or on account of another, in whole or in part, the plea shall set forth the name and resi dence of such other person, and the relation that the defendant bears to him in the litiga tion. If the cause involves matter which should be tried by a jury, according to the ■ course of common law, the defendant shall be entitled to.a jury trial. If it involves matters ■ of equity jurisdiction, the court shall proceed I according to its usual mode of procedure in ; such cases, and the several courts of thia Con- : federacy may, from time to time, establish , rules of procedure under this act, not incon sistent with the act or other laws of these Confederate States. Sbc. 8. Be it further enacted. That the clerk of the court shall al the request of the receiv er, from time, to time issue writs of garnish ment, directed to one or more persona, com manding them to appear at the then sitting, or IMTA, GEORGIA, SUNDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 22, 1861. at any future term of the court, and to an swer under oath what property or effects of any alien enemy he had at the service of the process, or since has had under his posses sion or control belonging to or held for an alien enemy, or in what sum, if any, he is or was at the time of service of the garnishment, or since has been indebted to any alien ene my, and the court shall have power to con demn the property or effects, or debts accord ing to the answer, and to make such rules and orders for the bringing in of third persons claiming or disclosed by the answer to have an interest in the litigation as to it shall seem proper; but in no case shall any one be heard in respect threuoto until he shall, by sworn plea, set forth substantially the matters be fore required of parties pleading. And the decree or judgment of tho court, rendered in conformity to this act, shall forever protect the garnishee in respect to the matter involv ed. And in all cases of garnishment under this act, the Receiver may test the truth of the garnishae’s answer by filing a statement, under oath, that he believes the answer to be untrue, specifying the particulars in which he believes the garnishee has, by omission or commission, not answered truly ; whereupiu the courtshall cause an issue to be made be tween the Receiver and garnishee, and judg ment rendered upon the (rial of other issues. And in all cases of litigation under this act, the Receiver may propound interrogatories to the adverse party touching any matter involv ed in the litigation, a copy of which shall be served on the opposite party or his attorney, and which shall be answered under oath with in thirty days of such service, and upon fail ure so to answer, the court shall make such disposition of the cause as shall to it seem most promotive or justice, or should it deem answers to the interrogatories necessary in such order to secure a discovery, the court shall imprison the party in default until full answer shall be made. Sec. 9 —lt shall be the duty of the District Attorney of the Confederate States, diligently to prosecute all cases instituted under this act, and he shall receive as a compensation there for two per cent, on and from the fruits of all litigation instituted under this act: Provided, That no matter shall be called litigated except a defendant be admitted by the court, and a proper plea be filed. Sec. 10. Be it further enacted, That each Receiver appointed under tbisact shall, at least every six months, and as much oftener as may be required by tbe court, render a true and perfect account of all matters in his bands or under his control under the law, and shall make and state just and perfect accounts and settlements under oath of his collections of monies and disbursements under this law, sta ting accounts and making settlements of all matters separately, in the same way as if he were administrator of several estates of de ceased persons by separate appointments.— And tbe settlements and decrees shall be for each case or estate separately, so tbat the transaction in respect to each alien enemy’s property may be kept recorded and preserved separately. No settlement as above provided shall, however, be made until judgment or de cree of sequestration shall have passed, but the court may at any time pending litigation, require an account of matters in litigation and in the possession of tbe Receiver, and may make such orders touching the same as shall protect tho interest of the parties concerned. Seo. 11. When the accounts of any receiver shall be filed respecting any matter which has passed sequestration, the court shall appoint a day for settlement, and notice thereof shall be published consecutively for four weeks in some newspaper near the place of holding tbe court, and the clerk of the court shall send a copy of such newspaper to tbe District Attor ney of the Confederate States, for the court, where the matter is to be heard, and it shall be tbe duty of said District Attorney to attend the settlement and represent the Government, and see tbat a full, true and just settlement is made. The several settlements preceding the final one shall be interlocutory only, and may be impeached at the final settlements, which latter shall be conclusive, unless reversed or impeached within two years, for fraud. Skc. 12. Be it further enacted, That the court having jurisdiction of the matter shall, whenever sufficient cause is shown therefor, direct the sale of any personal property, oth er than slaves, sequestered under this act, on such terms as to it shall seem best, and each sale shall pass tbe title of the person as whose property the same has been sequestered. Sec. 13. All settlements of accounts of Re ceivers for sequestered property shall be re corded and a copy thereof shall be forwarded by the clerk of the court to the Treasurer of the Confederate States within ten days after the decree, interlocutory or final, has been passed; and all balances found against the Receiver shall by him be paid over into the court, subject to the order of the Treasurer of the Confederate States,and upon tejhfailure of the Receiver for five days to pay over tbe same, execution shall issue therefor, and he shall be liable to attachment by the court and to suit upon his bond. And any one embez zling any money under this act shall be liable to indictment, and on conviction shall be con fined at hard labor for not less than six months nor more than five years, in the discretion of the court, and fined in double the amount em bezzled. Skc. 14. Be it further enacted, Tbat the President of the Confederate States shall, by ar.d with the advice and consent of Congress, or of the Senate, if the appointment be made under tbe permanent Government, appoint three discreet Commissioners, learned in the law, who shall hold at the seat of Government two terms each year, upon notice given, who shall sit. so long as tbe business before them shall require, whose duty it shall be, under such rules as they may adopt, to hear and ad judge such claims as may be brought before them by any one aiding this Confederacy in I the present war against tbe United States, ! who shall allege that he has been put to loss j under the aet of the United States, in retalia- j : tion of which this aet is passed, or under any ! I other aet of the United Slates, or of any State j thereof, authorizing tbe seizure, condemns • tion or confiscation of tbe property of any j citizen or resident of the Confederate States, or other person aiding said Confederate States in tbe present war against the United States, and tbe finding of such Commissioners in fa vor of any such claim shall be prime facie evidence of the correctness of tbe demand, and whenever Congress shall pass the claim, the same shall be paid from any money in the Treasury derived from sequestration under this act: Provided, That said Board of Com missioners shall not continue beyond the or ganization of the Court of Claims, provided for by the Constitution; to which Court of Claims the duties herein provided to be dis charged by Commissioners shall belong upon the organization of said court. The salaries of said Commissioners shall be at the rate of two thousand five hundred dollars per annum, and shill be paid from the Treasury of the Confederacy. And it shall be the duty of the Attorney-General or his assistant to represent the interests of this Government in all cases arising under this act before said Board of Commissioners. Sec. 15. Be it further enacted, That all ex penses incurred in proceedings under this act shall be paid from the sequestered fund, and the Judges, in settling accounts with Receiv ers, shall make to them proper allowances of compensation, taking two and a half per cent, on receipts, and the same amount on expendi tures, as reasonable compensation, in all cases. The fees of the officers of court shall be such as are allowed’ by law for similar services in other cases, to be paid, however, only from the sequestered fund: Provided, That all sums realized by any Receiver in one year for his services, exceeding five thousand dollars, shall be paid into the Confederate Treasury for the use of the Confederacy. Sec. 16. Be it further enacted, That the At torney-General shall prescribe such uniform rules of proceeding under this law, not herein otherwise provided for, as shall meet the ne cessities of the case. Sec. 17. Be it further enacted, That appeals may lie from any final decision of the court under this law in the same manner and with in the same time as is now, or hereafter may be by law prescribed for appeals in other civil cases. Sec. 18. Be it further enacted, Tbat the word “person” in this law includes all private corporations ; and in all cases, when corpora tions become parties, and this law requires an oath to be made, it shall be made by some of ficer of such corporation.

And the Receiver may, at any time, ask and have the instructions of the court, or Judge, respecting his conduct in the disposition or management of any proper ty, or effects under his control. Sec. 21. That the Treasury notes of this Confederacy shall be receivable in payment of all purchases of property or effects sold under this act. Sec. 22. Be it further enacted, Tbat Nothing in this act be construed to destroy or impair the lien or other rights of any creditor, a cit izen or resident of either of the Confederate States, or of any other person, a citizen or resident of any country, State or Territory, with which this Confederacy is in friendship, and which person is not in actual hostility to this Confederacy. And any lien or debt claim ed against any alien enemy, within the mean ing of this act, shall be propounded and filed in the Court, in which the proceedings of seques tration are had, within twelve months from the institution of such proceedings for seques tration ; and the Court shall cause all proper parties to be made and notices to be given, and shall hear and determine the respective rights of all parties concerned; Provided, however, that no sales or payments over of money shall be delayed for, or by reason of such rights or proceedings; but any money realized by the Receiver, whether paid into the Court or Treasury, or still in the Receiv er’s hands, shall stand in lieu of that which produced said money, and be held to answer the demands of the creditors aforesaid, in the same manner as that which produced such money was. And all claims not propounded and filed as aforesaid, within twelve months as aforesaid, shall cease to exist against the estate, property or effects sequestrated, or the proceeds thereof.
