Wba, are we to understand by in? Ursa

a .'ion •’ .tn the fact that each State which wae &
p .ity to the tompact idreaity, hod tsutiag e-c-ndy
of men tailed Us militia, the conclusion pbic
in my judgement that the term wm intended to
mean tcese Codies, and not to <V‘afer on Congress
the power to create a cvi!)lia of its own. A strict
construction gives this result, and strict coo'truc

not, whan called into service Congress might
exempt others, br.t could overrate do exemption
male by tho titate. Does this conscript law pro
vide for training th3 conscripts by the authority
of the States f Dose it not on the contrary take
away this authority from tbs States f I; otasts
aleo’lbat the Pre idect ettall appoint the officers,
a clear and palpable violation of the rights of the
Stales reserved ;e said ISth olau e. Ic thisvisrr
I am sustained b 7 the President of the Confede
rate States himself. The fact ii recorded m his
lue written by John Murage contained in a hook
entitled *'Ocr living RepresentativeMMeas' f page
172 as follows:
“ The term of en.isiment of the h&sdfsi teat re
mained of the Mir-aisaippi Regitnsnt, expired in
July, 1&47, and Col. Da vis was ordered home.
While in Hew Orleans he received from the Presi
dent yPdi', the commission of Brigadier General
of Volunteers, but declined the honor gn the
grouod, that neither Congress nor the President
hud s right to make such an appointment. The
C navitution reserved tp the 3ta es—respectiviy
the appointment of officers of the Militia, and
consequently the ot this duty by the
Federal Gov>-rum3nt *»..«« violation of the rights
of the States.”
Th'i Constitution he was then living under was
exact in w/ord» V7ith the present one cu these
points and he prelerred ‘o retire to private life
iiom the uiidat of hia fume and useiuiaesa, to vio
lating it. ‘1 his act of devotion to Constitutional
right contributed as much perhaps sa any of js?
to elevate bun to his present eaaited station.
Xu the preamble to our Confederate Constitution
care is taken to assert and maintain that the
rimfos ore sovereign uad independent.
In wbut oease nan this bo mud ot Georgia, if
every nan of her militia c-'*n he mice liotn under
the control of her son&titutioua! t/cmntaodev-ra
chitf without hi ccasesn t Must ha abdicate his
most imprrtaat duties by permuting v i..cuself to be

Cosactlpt Act, with cert*:a e*erupt cos, they can
pass ft without exemptions S“ one wiil deny
this, if, therefore, they have the power tc pre
scribe what shall be miiitie, ai.d to conscriba at
pleasure, they may take the Ggvoracr, the Gene
ral Assembly, and the whole Judiciary, and thug
sauihliato the whole Government. This palpable
infraction of the Confederate compact is sometimes
indeed principally defended cn the plea of neces
sity. What a dangerous fallacy l We have ex
pended one hundred thousand iivee and untold
millions ol money .0 maintain the Constitution;
tad ehs.il v/e now violate it and destroy the State
Governments? As reasonably might we commit
suicide to avoid personal dahger. <S or is thisplea
of nccsssitv true la fact. Tae conscript lew oau
only furuish men. We have, aid had before,
State laws to reach every man in the State be
tween 13 and 45, and to say the cotsscript law was
necessary to procure men, Is to maintain the
arithmetical absurdity that there are noie men in
the couuiry between 18 and 85 than between US
and 45.
Whereupon and for fasss reasons It Is ordarel
uud uejudged by tbs Court thet tho Act of the

Your daily paper of tbe ISth instant cista;c3 ar,
editorial article which does grest injostice to coy
s,J: os enrolling officer for Warren county, and
f.- V .j._r Pun-woody aa earoliicg officer for tbs
State l did not say as you represent n:e to have
*otd teat Yi.jar Pcnwooky bad. instructed as
that I bad authority to suspend the tubes* corpae
and declare taartial law j Lor did I ciaitr any such
iuthority cn the occasion tc wbiob 70 ur article
refers, cor do I claim it now, What i did eay was
tbuf Major Panvoody had iastmeted that
conscripts we-u subj ct to rrvUitary law, and that
in case o cecscript enrolled by 31s should refuse
ccrapiifthce with the enrollment, and the ctvll atr
if r.rTties should refuse n»o their aid to enforce
obedi nee, I wvb authorised to require each air
from any other ocnsrripU, or to apply for mdr,ary
aid form tbs foroea at Aaeaeta.
lu reply to Ibis, Judge Gould did say it was
equivalent tc* a Euspensk’n. cl t iuz fialeas Ourpv»
and a declaration of martial law, but 1 gave on
assent to his construction of ray statement, and A
r. speotfui’v submit that his construction is cot
warranted\-y my statement. As tbe case which
jjare rise to your article ie one of deep interest to
ice public, you will mdaigs me ia a single remark
upon Judge Gould's decision in it. He discharged
the conscript upon’the ground that i could not
enroll a 1 esidect cf another county, although 1
had found k.m in my county nmnrotisd. My eb
deri taadirg .! the conscription law and of my in
etructions under in is that 6 nsscdcoar in cup part
(jft.ht Oanft'ieraoy reuders any sound man be
,wse= the ages o? 13 and £5 years, liable tc Oon
ecciptton. end that my duty requires me to enroll
every such man whom I may nad in my couaty
unenrolled. Otherwise, all the .men subject to
conscription may escape it by keeping r.wuy fxcm
the county of their residence. Only let them
occupy themselves, as many are doing, in ptdlieif
and (.pcouicting away from home, and they are
m sanctuary, because forsooth none but tbe enroll
irg officer of their own county can touch toem,
aid they will bo sure not to g’>e him tire oppor

the o4k not ft ivhoriisi to oifar tar— .3 or subuntp p

in ar. rformal way, that if we would renew our
til r for peace (made at an early period last year .
upon lie basis of the recognition of cur independ
ence C» tbs Federal giverccient coupled r.-sh a
propoatl.V'.c to allow Ike border States to determiae
tar tipa>i*ta* thee future relations, it wo iid be
aggree,.b;.e ic- the goverrmeat of the v/msed States
and receive .ktt'r lavdrabie consideraucn. Gen.
Lee, it is believed, though distrustful of the forth
of the adversely, has acted upon the intimation
thus conveyed to hico. and has, prchabW, eve
this, submitted propositions of the character just
suggested, Should his offer be acc. hied, thsn an
armistice wili doubtle s be agreed upon and the
terms oi seitlemqpt at once drawn up Until the
armistice shall be granted, however, the informal
preliminary negotiations, whether undertaken in
good faith or net. will not be alio wed to interfere
wit • our military movements.
There can be no impropriety, therefore, in mak
fog such aa cffvr as l have alluded to. We are
the conquering party, and any propositions that
look tc as adjustment cf existing difficulties should
proceed Iron us. Nor can we object u the sug
gestion to leave it tc the border ritates to Buy
whether they wiil cast their lot with the North or
with the South. This right each one of the Ccu
tedorate States, exercised lor itself when it severed
the bonde that bound it to the old Union. If they
don’t desire to go with ue, we certainly cannot
want them There can be but little doubt, how
ever, that Maryland, Kentucky and Missouri trill
unite their fort-auee with ours nv majorities
01 the people. The Territories of New Mexico
and Arizona, and the Indian Territory, wo alrea
dy buve. The Ohio river belongs eotire’y to Vir
ginia and Kentucky, from its mouth tc the ts
•reins northern point ol the Panhandle L iatriot cf
Virginia. This boundary wee raserved by Vir
ginia at the time Kentucky an i the Northwestern
Htates were carved oat of her territory and erect
ed into Htstvc. We oould vet desire a better
boundary oq foe north tbaja a wide, p.ud naviga
bis river like the Ohio. The bcundwy tine be
tween Missouri and Illinois is the middle of the
Mississippi river.
It may be that this diplomatic movement of the
federal Government :a merely a ruse to gain time.
The prtc.ar.ous position cf tbs government is
each, however, that one may well excused for gir
ing it crtd.tfor sincerity. Tne drajor&l.sed con
dition of its army, the lead of debt under which
it is now staggering, its inability to enforce tue
act authorising a draft, and oar iccict successes
in Kentucky, Tesnessse and Virginia, leave Mr.
Lincoln t.c altemative but to grant us peace upon
onr own terms. Baltimore and Washington are
within oc: power, and cnemore victoty will open
to our sdvmeiag hosts the gates of Paiiadslphia
and New fork.
Should it appear, therefore, that i have been
correctly informed, Gen. Lee s propositions can do
no harm, uvea if it be rejected. A re neai by tho
Federal government to accept it, would.only far
ther unite ths idoult aud divide the North, end at
the saoie time strengths!! ua io the border diatc-a
and throughout the world. The New Sfork Her

By this clause of the Constitution the right cf
