Vicksburg—the city being at the extreme
point, or angle of tbo bend, and the banks of
the stream above and below the city coming
within five miles of each other. The YankeeS
aim at ontting a huge ditch across this nar
row neck of land, and turning the current of
the river through it, sufficient t » float their

It was ascertained that the enemy's fleet at
the time alluded to was 107 boats, 93 tran

Important Decision.
Ri-HSEOLLISO MBX WHO HAVE LEGALLY FURN
ISHED SUBSTITUTE?, DE7LA3ED TO BE ILLEGAL
AND WITHOUT AUTHORITY.
* __
In tin Confederate Opurt) Booth Carolina Dis
trict; in the Matter cf Leopold Cohn. Ma-
grath,J.
Leopold Cohn, became subject to military
service under the Conscription Aot of. the
Confederate Congress; approved 14th April,
1882.
The 9th section of that Act provided, that
persons not liable for duty may te received
as substitutes for those who are, under such
►y be* pmfcibei bydfee Sec
retary of War. .
Tne Secretary of War, by aa order through
the Adjutant and Inspector-General’s office,
da’ed 20th April; 1832, established the regu
lations which would .apply to substitutes —
By a compliance with t_>c8e regulations, the
person procuring the substitute, was to be
discharged, when that substitnic .is accepted
and enrolled.
The Conscription Act, approved 16th April,
1862, called into service, white men residents
of tne Confederate States, between the fcgee
of 18 and 85 years; at the time, the ciU or
calls may be made; who are not legally ex
empted from military rervice.
By the amended Conscription Act, ap.
proved 27th September, 1862, the President
is authorised to call out and place in the
military service of the Confederate States,
for three years unless the war should have
sooner ended, &U white men who are residents
of the Confederate States, between the ages
of 36 and 46 years, at the time the oall or
cans may be made; and wiio are not at such
time or times, legally exempted from milita
ry service. Such call or calls to be made un
der the provisions and according to the termB
of the Aot, to which the Aot Of the 27th Sep
tember, 1862, is an amendment.
Leopold,Cohn; liable to servico under the
Aot of tbeelfith April, 1862, complied with
the regulations of the War Department, is-
eiied^by order of the Secretary of War: furn
ished a substitute, who was acoepted, enrolled
and miue’c'Td in, for-three year;, unless the
war shall have ceea sooner ended. A dis
charge was therefore given to the said Leo
pold Cohn. \ . . i -
Tbe substitute so accepted was u.ot subject to
ihe call or ceils which might be made under the
Act of the lfi.h April, IMS. But if not already
iu the military service ot the Confederate States,
he would be subject to the calf or calls to be
made under the Act of the 27th September, 1862:
It is claimed by the enrolling officers under
General Orders No. 64, dated 8th September,
1862, that in consequences of the substitute'be
ing within the class ol persons, upon whom the
call or calls under the Actot the 27th Septem
ber, 1862, is to he made, be no longer answers
the requirements of a valid substitute; that the
discharge .heretofore* given to Leopold Colin is
invalid ; and that he ia now subject to military
aorvice under the Act of the 16th April, 1862.
Congress' has that large power, conveyed in
the grant to it, to raise armies and provide
rules lor-the government of the land and
naval foreea, by wbich it can deal with the ques
tion at issue, in such manner as it shall deem
best lor the public welfare. Whatever may be
the effect of (he order of the Secretary of:War,
cancelling the discharge of Le- pold Cohn,’ there
ie no dopbt of the power of Congress to* do so.
Had Congress passed a'special Act concerning
substitutes, it wad competent for that body to
repeal it, or to annul or qualify the discharge*
which had been obtained under if. The permis
sion by Congress in such cases, given to iqdi?
viduaU io substitute others for the performance
of the military service required of them, cannot
eg * Uovcrn-
it makes subject toi the call of military ser-
vice is, by its operation, prevented from con
ning to be, As he was when accepted, a le-
ititnte under the Act of the 16th April,
If the Act of Congress then doeB not
require that construction which is set forth in
General Orders No. 64, dated 8th September,-
1862, in these words, .“a substitute becoming
liable.to conscription renders his prineipal
also liable unless exempt on other grounds;”
and if no special order of the President hns
been issued to the same effect, it only remains
to enquire whether, under the 9th section of
the Aot approved 16th April, 1862, the Secre-
t»ry of War woe auUtorized to declare, by the
General-' Orders No. 64, that for the causae'
there stated the liability of the principal for
etitute according to law and the requirements
of the flccrelary of War, and thereupon had
been discharged from service, but was after
waids re-fen rolled under a usurped, unaulhor
ited, and illegal order of the Secretary of
War. . ' ' ■
This decision ie exactly the reverse of that
of the Supremo Court of our own Stale.—
The grounds upon which the decision is.made
arc clearly stated by Judge Magrath. They
arc identic*! with those upon which we sta--
ted alow days ago that.the order of the Sec
retary of War, re-enrollmg the class of men
whose righteare involved,'was a usurpation,
without the shadow of authority in law.—.
Judge ii. States the case with a clearness and
force that it aqems to tis ought to be conclu
sive, and ts quite in contrast with the mere
dicta of cur own Court, who have not, so far,
(ivea a reason.fw tho faith that ie in them.
We diflnr, however, with Judge "Aiagr.,th,
where he says' that the President or-the Con
gress cgn go back behind the act of-Congrem
and order into the field men who have thus
been discharged according to law. The Pres
ides! esn'no more dean unlawful act, or take
away, personal Tights secured by law, than
the Secretary of War cun. 'a he President can
dv no official aot whatever, without explicit
authority of law. Neither can Congress go
beck and invade and take a way personal
rights provided for, guaranteed and secured
by it* own solemn act. Congress may repeal
the eiause in the act of J6J» April, which is
involved, so that no man hereafter may be
beuefitted by, or take advantage of it; hut it
cannot takeaway the in: u licit ice secured'to
thosi who have availed tLcascivescf id pro
visions before it is repcalrd.
From Col. Ut’tCvcimaBd.
We lay before our read- re a short communis
cation from our-coneapo; dent “S,” which is
quite interesting. We have more recent in-els
iigeace from another. source that a slight ess
gagemeiit occurred a' short distance ffom Dab
ionega a few days ago, between a portion of the
command and the disorgenisers, in which the
malcontents were nof only thoroughly defeated,
but the whole party captured by a flask moves
ment coming'upon them in ihe rear which they
were not expecting nor prepared to meet. The
whole part* and all their stores and guns were
captured. We learit that not a man of the
Colonel’s command was hurt.
Reported Baid uros ths Salt Works—
We learn from the Mail Agent, on theVir
ginia & Tennessee railroad, who came East
yesterday evening,' that it*was reported the'

idem, which it may at any time, modily or ex*
UDguiah. And the like power ia, in my opinion,
vested in the Prcsidenrol the Confederate States.
As Commandervin-Chiel of the Army,.unless
restrained by the. actiott of Congress, be may,
upon consideration of public necessity, call upon
those to perform military service who hhvo been
declared liable to this duty, but’have been ex
cus.d from or indulged in its exercise,
But that which distinguishes this case, is that
Congress had delegated to an officer of the Gov
ernment, tho Secretary of War; the power to
prescribe the regulations under which substitutes
may bo received. The regulations have been
prescribed, the substitutes have been received
under them, and the question in the case - is,
whether the. Secretary of War has the same tons'
trotting power over the matter as belongs to Con
cress or could be exercised by the President.—
The question appears to be thus presented, bo-
cause ii aannot be maintained that'any Act of
Congress has been passed, destroying the privi
lege which has been secured by those who have
bad substitutes accepted far them. Nor is'there
any order of the President; by him directly
made, calling' inty military servico those who
have been thus exempted.. Nor ia the order of
the Secretary- of War'cancelling discharges
heretofore granted to be rmerred -to any other
source for its authority tiisn the Sth Section of
the Act approved 16th April, 1862. The Secre
tary of War having acted, in the matter under
the direct anthority of this Act, wiil be preshmtd
to have continued tho exercise of his power
under the same source. -. - ’ •
I do not o.insider tho Act approved 27th
September, 1862, as requiring or supporting
the order of the Secretary cf War, which
avoids'a dieefcarge ” propffiy ‘oftainrd; be?
causa a substitute, when accepted, not liable
to military service, may subsequently be
came so by the provisions of another Act.—
If the Aot of 27th September,.1862, was in
tended to invalidate the dieeharges which
had "beeu lawfully-obtained; by compliance
with the regulations prescribed by th.- Secre
tary of War, it is rcasjnable to. suppose -that
its language would in some manner nave con
veyed that purpose. But when it excepts
from its operations those who arc legally ex
empted from military service, he who exh.bits
a discharge, granted to him by competent au
thority, Which exempts him from military
service, is fairly to be considered as one of
that olasa who are excepted from the opera
tion of the Aet. Ahalf Congre-s, by a new
Act, called into oervioe these who Were' not
liable under the former Act, it could operate
That the power given to the Secretary of War
to make regulations for the admission of substi
tutes; wjDpld futgqyfca him to n-odify these reg
ulations according to his convictions oi expedi
ency, will not be disputed. But that such a
lower can be exercised so as to affect one who,
laving complied with-established regulations,
has thereupon been discharged, may well be
doubted.. Retrospective legislation, having
retro-active operation, ia .a recognized, but’a
very high power of Government. When exer
cised. it is always npon the ground of eotn'e
manifest public policy. That Congress intend
ed to idrnit, in certain cases, the privilege of
substitution, is elear. That it could take away
that privilege by retrospective legislation, is
equally clear. That its delegation to the Sec
retary of War Of the power to make regulations
concerning substitutes, - would authorize that
officer, if'he had conaidered'it necessary, to in
sert in the discharge, the condition that if by
subsequent legislation, the case of the proposed
substitute was embraced, the substitution would
be avoided, ar.d the discharge inoperative, is
also clear. But. that without the insertion or
expression of any such condition, Congress in
tended to confer the same high power of legis
lation, which it possessed, so that the SeCretaiy
of War could avoid & discharge, which he had
granted npon his acceptance'o: a substitute,
cannot be maintained.
The orders of the Secretary ol War, more
over, have expressly .declared the cases in which
tbs exemption of the prineipal, procured by the
acceptance of his substitute; may fie cancelled.
It fraud or mistake be discovered, the exemp*
tion ceases. The expression of these two, as
the' cases in wbich exemptions would cease,
must have been from abundant caqtion. It not
expressed, this, same consequence would have
resalted upon the discovery of either. But the'
expression of these is significant of the fact
that it was then considered, except in such
cases, the discharge, if fairly obtained, was
was conclusive so tar as the secretary of War
was concerned.
Considering that the Act approved 27th Sep
tember, 186.2 does not support the construction
in General Orders No. 64, concerning the lia
bility of principals who have furnished substi
tutes; and that no order of the President, ae
Commander-inChiet, has been issued touching
this mattery,and that the power given to the
Secretary ol War to make regulations concern-
ing substitutes, does not authorize him, alter he
has granted a discharge, in a case wheio neit her
fraud, nor mistake is alleged,’ to impose a new
condition upon one who'has been by his order
discharged from military -ervice; and by the
enforcement of that condition impose upon him
the performance of that military service from
which the older of- that officer has exempted
him; l am ol opinion that the* detention of
Leopold Cohn by the enrolling officer is illegal.
The order will therefore be entered for his dis
charge, •-■•i

• In Camp Near Manchistbr, Tknn., \
January 26 th, 1863. J
Of the enemy on the Shelbyville and Man-*
Chester pikes, I have to TOport til qniefc.-—
Near Woodbury our cavalry have had some
warm work. CoL* Hutchinson’s dashing feat
—capturing a forage train of thirty wagons
with a guard of one hundred and fitly men—
has been officially announoed to your readers.
When the train reached McMinnville it was
sent out after forage for Morgan’s command.
Being scarce of drivers tho Yankees were re
tained while two more were sent along toload
each wagon. - Only one Confederate to a
wagon accompanied the train as a guard.-—
The Yankee#—all from IIlinois--maae. no it-
tempt to escape. Their only desire was to bo
paroled and told a route by which they eould
travel through Kentuoky and react* their
homes without encountering Federal troops.
Two days after this brilliunt affair Colonel
Uutchinson’s command—the 2d Kentucky
Cavalry formerly, Morgan’s now Basil Dake s
regiment—was attacked by a Yankee force
several thousand strong. They succeeded .in
occupying the town of Woodbury, not how
ever without sustaining a' very heavy loss
while we were called to deplore the. sad Iob#
Cf Col. Hutchinson and two others, killed,
and fifteen wounded:. The command now
devolved upon Capt. John Castleman, a tried
and gallant officer, who was promptly rein-
foroed by Clarke’s 8;h Kentuoky cavalry and
four pieces of artillery, when our troops re-
ocoupied Woodbury where, they still re
main.
Our camp has been iu a ferment for some
days caused by the stories of a reaction in
Kentucky narrated by numerous late and
“reliable arrival*." ’Tis said that Gov. Rob
inson has called out 60,000 men and invited
the Kentucky troops in both armies to rally
around the standard of their State.
The Legislature threatens to convene a con
vention and secede if the lost proclamation of
President Lincoln is not modified within twenty
days. Alter passing a resolution to this effect
they resolved to go into secret session, but sen
tinels lioin a Michigan brigade, quartered at
Frankfort, were stationed at the doors, and the
honorable body notified that thejr actions must
reinainopen to the wor d.
These reports may all be true—hope they are;
but 1 must receive “confirmation as strong as
proof of .Holy Writ” before .1 believe it. A
Iriend just from the Kentucky State line says
that Woollord did really disband his cavalry at
Lebanon for twenty days, telling them that,' if
by that time Lincoln bad not revoked or modi
fied his proclamation, to return prepared to en
list* in tbo cause of tne South. The whole
North West is ripe for a separation, from New
England, and troops are greatly disaffected.—
The following clippings from the columns ot a
late copy of the Louisville Dem icrat fully sus
tain—1 ihink-riny statement as tar as Kentucky
troops are couccrned.
The Boston Post says:” •
Kentucky has given over 40 regiments to the
Union armies, and they have borne the brunt of
cattle shoulder to shoulder with the bravest;
but under the eilect of the radical programme they
are dwindling away ny resignations ai.d deser
tions. from full regiments to mere companies.—
The 26th Ky., which distinguished itself at
Shiloh stiff captured a rebel battery, is reduced
to 120 men. Another regiment advertises -over
260 deserters, and tho average desertions Irom
all are nearly up to that numaer. The 15th,
which fought so desperrtely at Perryville ant;
Jewitt and Major Campbell—has lost 9 other
commissioned officers by resignation. Captain
M. C. Taylor, Lieut:*. Winloch and McGrath and
6 others have quit the service.”
“Desertions.—There areno!less than 100 de-
rerters from the 3rd, 15th, 23rd and o.ther Ky
regiments now lurking about Newport, Ky., A
squad of 18 cavalrymen, in one body, was seen
a day or two ago not far from that place, and
efforts have been made to arrest them, but with
out success.”
From every part of the United States comes
the cry for peace. The soldiers are disaffected,
the people are tired of war, and the Government
is bankrupt, discouraged; and divided against
itself. May not peace be nearer than it seems
reasonable to suppose? May it come soon—
honorable and enduring in its character, as its
results will prove happy and glorious!

I am happy to saythatthe expedition to North
East Georgia is a success.- The Colonel Com
manding brings to this duty, as well- as all
others, courage, discretion and great activity
and is thoroughly supported by his command,
and the citizens generally. The safety commits
tee of this village is entitled to great credit for
their vigilance and perseverance in ferretting
out and arresting many of the disorganisers-—
The safety of Dahlonega is doe to the courage
and determination of its citizens,-a large num
ber of insurgents having started from fhe moun
tains to burn it, from motives of revenge and
with the hops of rescuing their friends in jail;
but finding the place strongly guarded, their
crowd became “small by degrees” until it ar
rived within one mile of town and retreated in
disorder to the mountains.
Aoout one hundred deserters have come in,
been forwarded to their regiments, and aa many
more are getting ready to go A gang of
wretcbcd culprits went to Atlanta in chains on

A. Fatal Tort Mistake.—Seven Union
renegades of Eaat Tennesao. who bad passed
Grave Gap, near Clinton, on their way to
Abe’s Dominions, we.r.e, on Monday last,
killed by their own friends, the Union
bushwhackers, who mistook them for reb-
wldRTO^ISSTOthRqoTOaoair Mt*H»4gk. We presume when Mie bushwhackers
ifv in a uxeat deal oT “found out who were their .victims, they
consoled themselves with the reflection
that “mistakes will happen in the-best
*— , i J families.”—Knoxville Rcgvter, Jan.
Brillto.nt Exploit.
Our community were greatly.elated Friday
evening by the stirring news of the oapture
of the gunboat John t. Smith, in the Stono
River, near Battery Island, betw.een Legare’s
place and GrimbaU’s plantation.
The news reached the city about 7 O'clock
anA'itea gratifying intelligence spread with
great rapidity. Our troops were command
ed by Lieutenant Colonel Jos. A.. Yates.
The engagement commenoed at four o’clock
and lasted one hou?, when the John F. Smith
was unconditionally surrendered. . Another
gunbeat was attacked by the forces under
Major J, Welsman Brown, but managed to
escape, not, however, without being very
badly orippled.
The John P. Sm ith is a three-masted steam
er, earrying eleven guns. The number of
prisoners taken, is represented at from one
hundred and fifty -to two hundred- They are
expeoted to arrive in the oity this morning.
The details of the fight had not reaobed us
up to & late hour, but the 'enemy’s loss was
said to be heavy. The only, casualty on onr
side was one mac wounded. . * -.
Of the troops engaged on our aide, we have
no definite intelligence.
The enemy were, no doubt, greatly but
prised at the reception they met with, and the
eheek put to their exploring and foraging ex
peditions up the Stono.
The result of this brilliant exploit has in
fused the best cf spirits into our troops to be
soon followed, we trust,- by a still more im
portsnt victory —Charleston Courier, Jan. 31
Wbeeler’s Exploits—Five Transports and
a Railroad Train Destoved.—The Shelbyville
Banner of Jan. 3Uth has the following:
“A note from one of Gen. Wheeler’s staff in»
forms us that the cavalry of that brilliant and
indefatigable -commonder has again - been at
work.
On Friday last, Janulry 23d, Col. Holman,
who commands a detachment of Wheeler’s
cavalry on the -Cumberland river, attacked a
fleet of twenty-five* Federal transports, and al
though they were' accompanied by two iron-clod
gunboats. still he succeeded in destroying five
of them.
They were coming dewn from Nashville, and
being so well protected, the.detaohraent oi Col.
Holman con Id not successfully contend with
them, and hence the remainder succeeded in
getting by—making very quick time..
On last Saturday, the cavalry destroyed
large and fine locomotive aod train of five cars
on the Nashville and Chattanooga road with all
the supplies, and cap uring the guard of filty
two men.
What will Roaencrana aod his army of inva
aiou do? The Cumberland river cannot be
navigaied successfully. They are already oo
abort ration* with but little prospect of any re
lief, for they cannot hope to complete the rail
road, since we have thus far destroyed every
train aqnt oat from Nashville.
