act entitled
and disabled
asylum to be
Home,” I feel
my objections, to
s, in which it origi
e act appeals most
of allbut in provid
. 1 g that object, it onecta
p. ly judgment arc unwar
ranU. ution. Without affirming
that the . a perfect corporation, there
can be no do .at it confers ujxm the board
of manage™ of u.e institution which it i* intend
ed to found, corporate power* and franchises of
a well defined character, which constitute them
what is known as a quasi corporation. They
arc to organize themselves into a board, by the
election of a President, Treasurer, anil other
neceasarv officer* ; are to continue in office un
til their successors arc appointed—thus providing
for a continual succession ; and they are to be
subject to the general approval and direction of
the Secretary of War—thus constituting the
Necretary a Visitor, a usual incident of eleemosy
nary corporations. They have power to make
by-laws, or a* the act expresses it, the “power
to make all requisite rules and regulations,” for
the government of the institution ; and they are
authorized to receive endowment* from indivi
duals and from the States. These are all ordi
nary drill well known corporate franchises. But
if any doubt could exist as to whether they arc
granted to the board as a corporation, or quasi
corporation, or only entrusted to them as indivi
dual trustees, that doubt is removed by the sec
ond section of the act. That section provides
that the Treasurer shall give bond with security
for the faithful discharge of his duties, which
bond shall he payable to the said hoard of mana
gers and their successors in office, and may by
them lie put in suit in any Htate or Confederate
court having jurisdiction. It cannot be under
stood that, this bond is to he taken to, and sued
upon by the hoard of managers, iri their indivi
dual capacity, as natural persons. This is evi
dent from two considerations:
Ist. Such a power would bo supererogatory
and uscles, since, as natural persons, they alreu
dy had, by the common law, ample right to
make any contract and take any bond or other
security, not contravening the policy of the
law.
2d. The right of action on a bond payable to
the managers, as individuals would, in the courts
of law, remain in and be under tho control of
the managers after they had gone out of office ;
and in case of the death of all of them, would
belong to the personal representative of the last
survivor; and to prevent the* einconvenienres, it
is expressly provided that the bond should be
payable to, and he sued on by, “tho hoard of
managers and their successors in office,” which
could only he accomplished by constituting
them, to that extent, a corporation.
From those considerations, it is apparent that
the intent of the act is to confer corporate powers
upon the hoard of managers : and that intent is,
in my judgment, beyond the powers entrusted
to (.’ongresK by the Constitution. However
enlightened opinions may have differed under
the old (iovomment, the whole history and theo
ry of the contest in which we are engaged, and
the express rcognition in our Constitution of the
sovereignty - of the States, preclude all idea of so
widely extending, by construction, tho field of
implied powers. That there is no such powers
expressly granted, need scarcely he remarked.
But, if this view of the intent and operation
of the act he discarded as incorrect, then it can
lie susceptible of hut one other interpretation. It
provides for the support and CQinturt of soldiers
and seamen disabled in the public service—-a
class in all countries regarded as the peculiar ob
j els of governmental benevolence. Tho insti
tution which it founds is endowed, in part at
least, from the funds of the Government. The
veal estate necessary for the purpose of this act is
to ho leased or purchased by the Secretary of
War, under tho approval of the President, as the
property of tho Government. Officers in tho
service and pay of the Government are to he
assigned for duty at the asylum. Its whole
ntanagment is to he subject to the general direc
tion and control of a high officer of the Govern
ment—the Secretary of War. And the hoard of
managers are required to report to the Secretary,
to he communicated to Congress, at every regu
lar session a statement of the condition of the
institution. If is then, a Government institution
and its offtCs.'s arc officers of the Confederate
Btales ; hut they .are not to he appointed in any
of the ways by which alone such appointments
can he constitutionally i,;pde—neither by the
President, with the. advice and consent of the
Hcnate, nor by the President alone, ii or by tho
courts of law, nor hv the head of of a deport
ment. The managers arc to be appointed by the
.Governors of tho several States, and they in
turn are to appoint their president and treasurer,
and fix their salaries.
These two arc, in my judgment, tho only in
terpretations of which the act is susceptible ; and,
under either view, its provisions are violative of
the Constitution.

of forming a government and rendering Mexico
a French province the moment it should have

The Idlest accounts from Europe respecting
the purposes of the Archduke Maximilian are
conflicting. A Vienna letter of 23<1 nit., says :
The acceptance of the crown of Mexico by
the Archduke Maximilian is now an irrevocable
fact. Uis Imperial Highness will return to
jnorrow to Trieste to make his final preparations
tor the journey. A second Mexican deputation
is expected in March, with the result ot the
rli'bisc'J’KH. after which the Emperor elect will
leave for Mexico. The Emperor of Austria is
said to have gHT" Ins consent to the daring en
terprise of the Archduke, who looks on it as
purely a personal matter, placing the empire
under no obligation whatever.
On the other hand, the Vienna Correspondent
of the London Times, says :
Notwithstanding the assurances of the French
papers the Archduke Maxmilian has not yet
drinitelv accepted the Mexican crown. 11 he can
get a loan of iiUk'o,ooo sterling lie w ill go to
Mexico, but not wi*hoiit. In no case will he go
lo Paris before March. .

says :
Tuesday evening we went down on the pick

fair view of Newbern. The town is situated at
the junction of the Neuse and Trent rivers, on
a sort of ponin ula. l'lie liver defences are
quite strong. Thete is a very heavy battery
lacing the river on the side from which 1 saw it,
mounting some nine or ten heavy guns. The
defences in front of the town consist of two iiues
of very heavy earthworks, running across from
one river to the other, with a deep ditch or ca
nal in front. This caual is said to be twenty
feet broad and fifteen deep, filled with water,
and the breastworks are said to be spiked on
the top. Several large flags were visible be
sides the one which tl rated over the battery on
our side, and we suppose marked the position
of forts on the opposite side of the town. It
having become evident that we could not take
the town without too much sacrifice, orders were
given to fall back at sunset.

COMWtsa.vnox kok Phopicktt Lost oh Ds--
troyeii Dubing the War. —The Committee on
Claims of the House of Representatives ha»
made an important report to Con tress on the
subject of compensation for property lost or
destroyed during the war. The report inter
ests a large class of citizen?, and includes some
vital constitutional questions.
The claims embtaced in the report are for
property taken or destroyed by the enemy ; for
property destroyed by our forces as a military
necessity, cither when in the occupancy of the
enemy, or to prevent it from_ falling into the
hands of the enemy ; or tor'property wanton
ly or unnecessarily injured or destroyed by
persons connected with the military service of
the Confederate .States ; and property taken
arid used by the Confederate troops without
the authority of the Government.
The comthittee do not admit, as a general
principle, the Government can be held either
legally or justly liable for losses sustained by
individual* from the acts of the public enemy.
Ifie doctrine applicable to municipal copo.a
tions, which are held responsible for the des
truction of private property by the lawlessact
of a mob, can have, say the committee, no le
gitimate application to belligerent nations. —
There is no acknowledged principle of public
law, or of political or moral obligation, which
render it the duty of the State to indemnify
sufferers by the casualties of war. The com
mittee contend that it is the first duty of the
Government to look to the welfare and preser
vation of the whole body politic, and it may he
destructive of this welfare that it should as
sume the burden of individual losses incident
al to a great public war.
The committee says : “There is no instance
that has fallen under our notice wher? compen
sation in such cases has been made, except as a
mere gratuity and from motives of benevolence
or policy. In the case of the American loyal-«
its, above referred to, Mr. Pitt, then Prime
.Minister, whilst, advocating some indemnity
for the losses sustained by the claimants, re
marked, emphatically, that ‘that however
strong might be the claim, the relief extended
should not be regarded as due,’ on the princi
ples of right and strict justice ; and the amount
of $45.0UU,000 claimed was eventually scaled
down to one-third of the sum, and was, after a
delay of seven years, paid in Government de
bentures, hearing an interest of three and a
half per cent, per annum.
“The Congress of the United States, on the
9th of April, 1810, passed an act to provide in
demnity for losses sustained by American citi
zens, as the consequences of the. war with
Great Britain, but the relief was, by the cx
press terms of the statute, limited to eases of
. property lost while actually employed in the
military service.
“Before referring to the legislation of the
Congress of the Confederate States on this
subject, it will be appropriate to pass to the
consideration ot the second class of claims re
ferred to, viz : Those for property destroyed
by our forces, as a military necessity, either
when in the occupancy of the enemy, or to
prevent it from falling into the hands of the
enemy ; or for property wantonly or unneces
sarily destroyed by persons connected with the
military service of the Confederate States.
“This class of claims, it may he remarked
although neither so numerous nor so large as
those falling under the preceding head, are yet
of no inconsiderable number or magnitude,
especially when reference is had to the pre-ent
ability of the Government to provide for them.
“Though occupying, as is generallysupposed,
a moie favorable fooling than those of the first
class conside ad, yet, as a general-rule, it may
he safely affirmed that neither, in .regard to
them, is there any fixed principle of law or
equity which imposes upon the Government
any absolute duly of recognizing and adjust
ing them, the obligation to and.) so, if it beau
obligation at all, is of that class known as ‘im
perfect obligations,’ which confer no right to
demand a fulfillment even in point of con
science ; hut, for the performance or non-per
formance of which, the party affected is re
sponsible only to the moral laws, as for exam
ple, the exercise ot the virtues of charity, be
nevolence and gratitude,” &c.
Most of the claims of the class referred to are
for compensation for private buildings de
stroyed or injured by our forces when in actu
al conflict, for the put pose of dislodging the en
emy, who was using them as a covert, or for the
destruction ot tobacco, cotton, and other, prop
erty, which the owner could not. or would not,
remove, and which were liablo to fall into the
hands of the enemy and aid him in prosecu
ting the war.
The committee conclude that the claims em
braced under the first and second hi ad are not,
as a general rule, tegarded as either legal or
strictly equitable demands upon the Govern
ment, hut as appeals addressed to the generosity
and sympathy of Congress. It is not, denied
that exceptional cases may - exist, growing out
of the nature of the property destroyed, the
relative condition of exposure and peril in
which it was placed, and other peculiar circum
stances; but, taken as a whole, any relief, grant
ed could not be considered as the discharge of
an obligation resting upon the Government, but
in the light ot a boon or gratuity.
As to the third and remaining description of
claims, viz : 'Those for property' taken by the
jovernment for public use, or laken and used
by the Confedeiate troops without the authority
of the Government, the committee admits;
for those which are for property taken ior the
use of the Government and by its authority, the
Government is not only hound as a matter of
right and justice, hut by the paramount author
ity of the Const.tution. The chief, if not the
only, source of difficulty in regard to them is iu
determining disputed questions of liability, not
for the use of the property, but lor its value
in cases of slaves or other property temporarily
used by the Government, eider by contract or
impressment, and where, in consequence of
death or some other cause, the Government is
unable to restore the property to the owner.
The fact of such liability will, ot course, de
pend upon the circumstances of each particular
case, and as the number of such cases may be
very considerable, to avoid the evil of special
legislation and to provide a prompt and ade
quate remedy, it is recommended by the com
mittee that a tribunal should be constituted
competent to determine such cases as tboy arise.
Mr. Wright's Resolutions. —The resolutions
presented by Mr. Wright in the late Confeder
ate Congress, have been the cause of a few re
marks iu the Federal Congress. In a debate in
that body on the Ilth of February—the sub
ject under discussion being the enrollment bill
—Hon. Fernando Wood called attention to
the fact that while they—
•‘Were here discussing measures clearly and
palpably in violation of the Constitution of the-
United States, and oppressive and destructive,
the Confederate Congress were proposing this
very day to discuss the measures of peace, re
union and reconciliation. He read from the
Richmond Examiner of the Bth inst., in which
it was said that extraordinary resolutions had
been introduced iu the House of Representa
tives by Mr. Wright of Georgia, and that the
House' went into secret session before taking
any action on them. These resolutions pro
posed that the Confederate States invite the
Unilcd States, through their Government at
Washington,'to mpet them by representatives
equal to the representatives and senators in
their respective congresses, to consider, first,
whether they cannot agree upon the recogni
tion ot tiia Confederate States of America ; se-
cond, in the event of such recognition whether
they cannot agree upon the formation of a nwv
government founded upon the equality and
sovereignity of the States But if this cannot
be done, to consider, third, whether they can
not agree upon treaties offensive and defensive
and commercial. In the event of the passage
of these resolutions, the President is to be re
quested to communicate the same to the Gov
ernment at Washington, in snob a manner as
he shall deem most in accordance with the
usages of nations : and iu the event of their
acceptance, the President is to issue a procla
rnition for the election of delegates, under such
regulations as he may deem expedient. Mr.
Fernando Wood continued, thjsis a government
ol' white men. made by white men, for the pur
pose of preserving law and order. The gentle
mau here was proposing to do, by the amend
ment pending, that which under the Constitu
tion they have a light to do.”
"Mr. Cox, (opp ) of Ohio, was opposed to
the bill, because it would wholly fail of exe
cution, and would not fill the army. .While
be was disposed to vote all the men and means
to put down the rebellion, he haft always been
ready iu all stages of this dreadful conflict, to
give’an opportunity to the voice of concilia
tion and peace to lie heard. The proposition
before the Confederacy was for peace on the
basis of the old Union ; for the resolutions in
effect say so. He proposed that a commission
be raised. Let the commissioners be sent to
Richmond. Send if you pleass, the distinguish
ed gentleman from New York (Fernando
Wood.) Send him, and if he did not come
back within sixty days with a negotiation of
peace based on iiie old Union with the equal
ly and sovereignty of the States, he (Mr.
Cox) speakirg for \Yood & Cos., would pledge
them as earnest supporters of the prosecution
of the war. Will nut the gentlemen on the
other side receive commissioners to treat for
peace and Union on the old basis of State
equality and soveicignty ? Would they con
tinue to vote pains and penalties ? Would
they continue the war for subjugation, and not
unite to restore the States of the republic ?
Your object is not to restore the Union. It is
to blot out thedomestic institutions with which

The editor of the Savanuafi Republic n has
been shown some potatoes, of the yam species,
and crop of 1801, which are i:t a perteet state
of pieserva'ion, and though bard contain all
their sweetness and nutriment. They were
baked over two years ago, and then dried.—
Apparently they will remain sound for an in
definite time. The experiment is suggestive in
this time of scarcity, and perhaps could he
turned to a good account. A half bushel of
potatoes thus dried could lie carried readily in
a soldier's haversack, and a little hot water
would doubtless soften and prepare them lor
food. The person who showed these specimens
to the Republican suggests that a cake made
of potatoes, rice and parched corn, and well
seasoned with pepper and salt, would be excel
lent rations for a long march.

We are a litt'e excited with intelligenccJfrom
Penang that the Confederate States steamer
Alabama is cruising about there. She took two
Yankees in the Straits of Snnda, and was pur
sued by the Vanderbilt. When night came on,
the Alabama was about twenty miles ahead,
a'ud, under cover of darkness, she unshipped
her funnel, put out her fires, and set sail.
The ship was tkeu put about, and stood in
the direction of where they had last seen the
Vanderbilt. At daybreak, she wasj within a
mile of the Vanderbilt, who bore down, and in
quired II they bad seen a large steamer stand
iug to the Northward. Capt. Nemmes tepiied:
“Yes, she was going ahead, full speed, and
must be one hundred miles away by this.” The
Vanderbilt immediately put on all steam and
went on a wild goose chase, while Semmes
quietly shipped his funnel and bore away in
an opposite direction. It was reported last
night that the Alabama was outside of Am
herst.
