lhe decision was quite loug, mid emlrac- and ut,
elaborate view of the whole question. ArnuDg
other points made by the Judge, b b id that thj
clause of the constitution giviug Congress power
to ruiae and support armies, was » distinct and
independent power, entirely s-parate Horn the
power to call cut the militia. When ciHz .os were
culled out as militia, then the Hla'e could exercise
the rest! red right of appointing the officers, but
the army raised under the epee sis authority
grauled lor that porposc would be taken from the
same body of citizens which constituted militia,
tint when so taken, not liuviug been taken aa
militia,—they could be under any officers the
g vornment might appoint, 't he emuse to raise
and support armies was not limited by any lan
guagj or the constitution bu. it had a limitation,
which was found in the nature ot the Confederate
and Btate governments.
The Confederate government could not exercise
the power granted to it in such a way as to de
stroy he principal. While therefore, Congress
could in the exercise or this power take the whole
urnifi bvuriag poitaUtion ot the Htate, il could
not dertrov iho Stat« organization by Eubj.-ctiug

of "oruubiig the rebellion,'* but that ihe Rebels
are nearer to the point of exhaustion than the
Pedor.d.gof ernmsot. He intakes no pretence of
ability to oi.nqutr tie South, but pleads that the
South will be conquered by the increasing diffl

Bui the tori ai.d strongest card in Lincoln's

deliver the country drum u tairible civil vrar.’>
The “ebar.p-i m tbe eoeiat organization of the re
bet States’' was intended to inaugurate a civil
war slid mere horrible titan that now waging,
one, comp tro tto which there would have been
bnt one parallel in history that, of Bt. Domingo.
But this gri .-.t end will have been played in
ra'a. Outside the pickets of tbe Federal armies,
Lincoln’s proclamation will have no more effect
than, rs Lincoln himself said, the proclamation
of the i'ope against tbe comet. As to its appre
ciation by l oJ and w ise men of all countries, we
have already proofs that they look upon the pro
clamation with horror and disgust, heightened by
their ignoruuC ioi the institutive it is levelled
agains'.. which they do not know stands on too
solid a b£.sis lo be shaken by any proclamations.
They uo not understand that such documents
might baas effectual when issued by the Emperor
of China as by President Lincoln, thereiore they
regard it with more horror than tha Southern
people themselves.

Though *t is said that the poisonous virus of !
extortion has begun to inoonlate the farmers, J
yet, up to this time, no class of community
has so willingly au-l patriotically made sacrifices
tor the good of the country. Ii new they find it

thoy ti-.ve t -f,« It, they cann'.t be blamed, when
the.; arc obliged to pay exorbitantly for what they I
nave tn buy That they are ready still to make j
sacriitct-s has been demonstrated of late, by the
murmurs With which the advice wrong ully im
puted to M>-. SrKpHfc.NS, to piant largely of cotton
next year, was received. Mr. Stiphkvs was mis
interpreted, but the misunderstanding has been
useful, in showing, by the discontent it aroused,
bow ready the planters are to continue to make
sacrifices for the prosperity and success of the
cause tht-y u:d all of us are engaged in. Their
own interest, and the auv.ee of the man to whom,
with tew er no exceptions, they looked most couti
denliv tor advice and guidance, and who deserves
their confidence, seemed tc unite in inducing them
I to plant Urge crops of cotton next year, but they
; with rare disinterestedness, stand ready to with
stand all euchienjp^u^pa.^.*

ilr. STfvat’n, &3 s? 9 bora said, w a mistader
etc i when it was Asserted that he coons-'!ltd tts
I pec /ir to plant largely of cotton next year. An
| ex; iniiticn has be.'*.-; made of his speech ut ripor
ia. • ut though it is dsnied that he advised to plant
lardy, yet there is n.thing to show that be ad
vised the discontinuance of the piodnctiou alto
ge her. ti e untratand Mr. Srxpatss to wish that
as large a corn crop should b« planted as will irt
dah.lnbly supply ail ihe deusands that can possi
bly be made upon it, ucd as a sec ondary consider
alien, as uineb cotwu as posaible. He is too wifi
a statesman to put in jtopardy the monopoly tL»
gives to the Gonfederaey the importance it bears in
the tvesof the world. Thai our monopoly ia in dan
ger ts the culture of cotton is wholly discontinued,
can only be denied by those resolutely bent cn
seil deception. We cannot hold the world in de
poo deuce on us for cotton unless we produce it,
or gito promise to do so. We do not take Mr.
STiPflkxs’ distinction that “ Cotton is Ling ” on'g
commercially, and cot politically, Commerce and
politics have been intimately connected in Log
la&J for two hundred years, most of her wars
have been waged to tularge her commerce, no
longer ic, settle disputed successions to her throne,
or purely for the acquirement ot tetritory. Con
quest has b.eu subsidiary to commerce. Her
merchants rule her politicians, and it is not to be
supposed that the five millions ol ber people de
pendant oa King Cotton for bread, have no influ
ence in her nut.onai councils.
That King Cotton has not used tHs two foid
powtr successfully fer ocr benefit in ibis war, is
our fault. We compelled him to abdicate b.s
comroiroial, und by constquenoe, his political
putter. VVe refused to put it to the use we easily
might have done, aa Mr. Stsphens has pointed
out. To diop m@taphr,r, we Lave not only shown
no oagtraegg to exchange cotton lor goods, but
we have placed obstacles in the way of such ex
change. Had we used wisely the advantages we
possessed, and encouraged the export of an arti
cle which was of little use to us except aa an arti
cle of export, and favored the import of those
art cles which welcould get in no other way except
by importation, we should not now have tad the
land echoing with curses against extortioners,
nor the best and bravest armies the world has
ever seen shivering and eho, less among the 3now
covered mountains of Kentucay and Virgin's
Mr. Stephen's advice as we understand it,seems
to us eminently wiee. English statesmen
would gladly sea cur monopoly m cotton destroy
ed, and their dependence on the Southern Ktales
cease. We may disguise the ‘.act as we may from
ourselves, there is danger that if King Cotton is
forced to abdicate here, he will remove his throne
to another domain. We must therefore attempt
to woik out the ditficuit and delicate problem
next year as wo have arccesslully done this year,
by ail mtuns to furnish to our own people and
especially to those suffering danger; sickness and
hardships in our defence, a sufficiency of provisions
and at the same time hold out the promise to the
world that the supply of cotton shall be renewed
upon the cessation of hostilities, with no other
diminution than must result from the necessity
of repairing the damages cau-ed by the war.
Tlie Fire Last Nlxht,
The fire last night proves to have been very
destructive. We understand it originated in the
South-weet corner of M. I'. Stovall’s Cotton
Warehouse. Mr. 8. had about 6,000 bales of cot
ton stored in his sheds, a small part only of which
was saved. His Looks fortunately were secured.
The cottcu belonged to different parties—the
names we have not yet ascertained.
Mr. Edmonson, on the corner of Ellis and Jack
son streets, had a pretty large amount of stock
sugar, flour, North riarolina sa'tand other articles
of provisions, a portion of ntjich was saved.
Bird A Critz, Livery Stable keepers on Ellis
Street, sustained a loss of $15)0 to |2,000 in corn
and fodder. There were five carriages and bug
gies burnt belonging to customers. There were
also 600 or 600 bags of cotton burnt in the build
ing which had been stored there by P, A R, A.
Flxmini) , it was tally insured.
The dwelling of Mr C«.m, next adjoining the
Warehouse, on Greene street, caught fire, bnt it
was finally extinguished—with tho lr.3*, however,
oi nearly uli tiia furniture, which was destroyed
by moving.
The Warehouse was ths property of Rev. Mr.
Harrison, the stabies were owned by R. H.
Gardner. There waa an inf.uraace on both
buildings, but not sufficient to cover the loss.
Th? entire loss by this fire is estimated at ve
half a million of dollars.
As to its origin, it ia generally thought it waa
the work of an i .cendiury. It waa rumored that
two suspected parties had been arrested this
morning on suspicion, but we are cot as yet pre
pared to say that this is correct.
One man named Harrington was seriously in
jured during the excitement of the time, by the
fall of most of the burning buildings.
It is to be hoped these buildings, situated rb
they are in s central and business part c-f the town,
Will be rebuilt at once. There is now especially,
a lack of Livery Stables in the city, RLd it would
be a good idea to rebuild this one D3 scon as pos
sible.
The firemen worked like heroes, and the police
were also efficient in the discharge of their duties.
The Weather at the time was f irtuDately very
calm. 1 f there had been a strong wind prevailing,
the fire wo,nld have been much more disastrous.
Occupcntaof offices, Ac; on the east side of
Jackson street, re oved their effects, for fear the
flames would ccmmuoieuta to their premises. Tha
heat was intense. —Daily Chronicle, W ednesday

From thi ihouian-e i.iVuves who have ti»ui been withheld

He was in enery scr.se a n>b email of natur 1 ; high toned
and of unsullied purity. No tr bute could * ragg* ra'e tlie bo *u-
Urui philosophy 01 his character; no eulogy Is fully adequate
to ihe virtues he practised In ail the wa kt us lifee, th«
“noblest Koman of them all,” of aim it m«ght be tru.y and

aeNMCdY, a m-.mber 01 the tigletljoriie Artillery, in the
*24tu year of niv age
The subject of this notice was very moral and exemplary
from lbs youth. Tne writer, who was intimately j.cquuiutei
with him, can say with truth th t tie never heard him use a
profane expression. He muted with the Baptist. Church at
Balem, Lincoln county, Georgia, in ihe year 1858, an ! ever
after demonstrated by his walk and con verbal on. that he was
in possesii«n of that hope that is •• au anchor to the soui both
sure and steadfast.” in his death the church has lost a wort hy
and exemplary member; society an honest man, a,d the Con
federacy a werthy soldier. Though he was not permitted U
fail, as he no doubt wou tl have preferred, upon the field of
battle, with his f otto the foe and his martial cloak around
him, beneath the folds oi that banner, at once the emblem oi
liberty and Southern Independence, yet he felt no less a mait yr
to the cause of his bleeding country, und thus adds another
name to the list of heroes from his native Stale, that have falL n
whilst defending our hearthstones from the polluting tread of
of the vandal invader.
He leaves a wife and an only child, father, mother, brothers
and sisters, to laouin his loss, which to them is irreparable. lor
It was around the hearthstone of home that his worm wn- fully
known und appreciated, and we would not cuter that i-acreu
precinct and lifj the veil that bides their grief, but would com
mend them to the. care f Him who has promisedV) b« “ a
lather to the fatherless and a husband to the widow.” w ith
the lull assurance that He ‘ uoeth all things Will.” Peace ij
his ashes. j. m, D.*
Os the many rich and worthy sacrifices offered uo on the
altar of Southern independence, none have poured oui their
blood more freely or nobly than Lieut. J. DaWBDH HILL,
son it the late K. Y. Hill,of Laurange. Ua., and Adjuunt ui
the 18th Georgia Regiment.
Possessed oi a lefty and patrioti boul, he could not be In
sensible to his country’s danger, hut vied with the mremost in
r Hying to her defence, immediately alter organization, Li.«

pre euLdtotne southern toidLrs an oppor unity of meeting
and chastising our ruthless ioe. Upon reaching Kicnmond
they were quickly trauafened for operation to
Virginia, where a campaign waienac‘ed, which, m itaruSLiiiS
t-nd dangers, nas never been excel'ed, if equalled, in the annuls
of war. How magmtieant were the early auiiihVumcita of
“Stonewall’ Jack-son’saud the suns queut results of the gai
-aut L’ol (now Geu ) Edw. Johnson’s operations, history lur
niahes the evidence, in ail of these actions, Ad.t. Hlij Lore a

where the conflict was raging most fl. rcely, inciting by lofty
example hia men to brave and heroic rtetion. Having
unscathed through aii the scenes 1 navt*. mentioned, as well as
those illustrated un doubly glorious piaius of Manassas and
v.cimty, the impr.ssiun was very naturally created in tne
minds of his friends that he would ultimately be restored to

Stationed fur several months on the coost below Bavanm h*

of which nis company was a member, became a component
tart of Btonewal'i Jackson a army, i his Regiment partook
largely of the dangers and couMp.quiily claim itedua share of
the glory Incident to our armsiu the to rlbic ba ties around
Richmond, it was chiefly at Malvern Mill anti Gaines’ Al ii
th :t Cap* - Lavtey distinguished himself as a corl and intrenid
olflier, and asa ga lant and d;sr.mguiohedleader. The Coiouei
of the Kegi'-nent having resigned, a tl the Lieut. Co.onel hav
ing b*e-» wounded in the .any part oi the fight, as senior Cap
tain the command devolvad Capt. Battey. The loss sus
tainetl by that nojffc regiment, is evidence of the peril of their
leader’s position, and the victory that crowned i.helr final
chaige, Is monumental pi oof ol me unflinching heroism ot
Georgians, hud the devotion and daring of the noble-the la
mented Battey. After the retreat or McClellan from Rich
mond, Capt. Hatley was stricken wlt.j disease, as were, many
of our heroes, and was compelled o retire for a few weeks from
the service. Alter the battle ot Manassas, he returned to the
a my, and following Gen Lee in his eventful and g orioua ca
reer, he finally fell, lending his gallaut boys in the thickest of
the fight on mat field of olood and carnage, known as the
battle of Sharps burg.
Alitt.e lrrltab.e, and somewhat excitable, Capt Battey.
neverthe’ess, had In his compose lon much of the milk of hu
man kindness Deceiving no one, he despised meanness and
decern; on In others. Though strict as a disciplinarian, he was
kind to his command, affectionate as a lather, devoted as a
husband, and humane as a master. His aged mother had al
ready been called upon to mourn the and ath of one son, tie
affectionate and gitted Chancey, who fell a victim to disease in
Virginia, and now must weep another alien. But while sor
row Fhadea the materna brow, and wrings the heart of the
strioken widow and o:phaned babes, the fctar of Bethlehem
fights up the gloom of the grave, and sheds its radiance on tbe
prospects beyond the tomb. The Apostle i’aul says he 1 j -‘con
fident of this ve y thiug, thet ne which h t.n begun a good
work in you will perform it until the da/ of Jesus Christ.”
Phil. 1:6.
It will be consoling to bis surviving friends to know that evi
dence is at command that a good work had been begun In the
h art of our fri nd a short time previous to his death, and this
consideration alone has prompted us to enter the sanctuary or
his private correspondence and make public the following ex
tracts from letters to his wife.
On the first of t>ept. 1362, he writes, after u a*ing other state
ments, as follows : went to the BaptLt Church on yester
day to hear Mr. Whitescover preach a funeral eermon, and I
was*not only pleased, but fel that he tOid many truths which
Ibe leve will benefit me, if 1 apply them to my sell. His text
will be found iu a part of the 12th v rse of the 4th chap of
Amos “ Prepare to meet tny God.” And thouga not eloquent,
he was fearfully in earnest, and his words sank deep into my
heart, and i trust will bring forth fruit that will be acceptable
In the sight of God ” On the following day, fiept. 3d y k« be
gins a letter to bis wife as follows :
Mkchum b Rivra, Sept. 2d, 1362.
Dear W ife : Again I seat myself to write to you from this
point, as it may be the iast lime I may ever have of w itlng to
you. I hope and trust that God will spare me for many days
to come, and that I may be a good and faithful worser in his
vineyard. My thoughts are mostly of my soul’s salvation, and
with the help of God I will persevere until my sins have been
forgiven and lam a child of tbe true and liviug God. 1 trust
to your prayers to be answered, for I know that you offer
them up to the Throne of Grace for my ealvation daily.”
Thus wrote our lamented lriend some two weeks previous to
hla death, and though his manly brow ia pressed by the clods o*'
a soldier’s grave, with no slab to mark the spot, and no pageant
to do him homage, hla m other, his widowed wife, and four
children, together with Lis Bundling triends, have good
grounds to hope that from the field of his fall and his glory, h f a
immortality took its Sight to that land where the roar of cann * n
is never heard mingling with the warrior’s shout—where bayo
nets never bristle and broad swords never flash, but
*• Where each Found ia as sweet as the coo of a dove.
And the gales are ai solt as the breathings of Jove ,”
