authorized to suspend the execution
of this act, or the acts to which this is
an amendment, or any special provis
ion, or provisions, of said acts, in any

thorized to receive troops into the
Confederate service under any of
the acts passed by the Confed
erate Congress prior to the pas
sage ot the act to further provide
for the public defence, approved 16th
of April, 1862.

It is no doubt true, as charged, that the
exorbitant prices of food and the miser
able spirit of speculation rampant in the
land, are in part due to the excess of the
circulating medium, .There is too much
money about; and here we may say, en
passant, that note is the time for every
body to get out of debt. The unhappy
man who neglects this golden opportunity
to pay hi- 0 debts because he can neglect it,
and leads until he is compelled to pay, is a
ninv, and will discover the fact in dne
time. To pay debts now is like squaring
up at fifty cents in the dollar. The Leg

The following communication was also j
presented to the Senate to the Secretary ;
of War, in reply to a resolution request-;
iug certain information from the I’resi- i
dent iu relation to the pay and appoint
ment of Provost Marshals:
His Pea'll cue y, .Jefferson Doris,
President C. S. A :
Sir—I have the honor to acknowledge j
the receipt of the enclosed resolution of;
the Senate, requesting you to give them j
information concerning the pay and ap
pointment of Provost Marshals.
The army regulations provide for the
employment by a Commanding General
or a General of Division, of Provost Mar
shals, who are charged with the custody
of prisoners, and the performance of po
lice duties. In garrisons non-commission
ed officers are usually assigned to these
duties, but, with armies of the field, de
prived as they are of the assistance of the
civil authorities, and often incumbered
with large numbers of prisoners, the du-
1 ties become more difficult aud important
and commissioned officers are detailed for
their discharge.
It will be observed that Provost Mar
shals are employed, and appointed; other
wise officers of the army, already hold
ing commissions, could not be assigned to
such duty without holding two distinct
appointments from the government.
It having been found that large amounts
of public property at our principal depots,
and the peace and good order of many of
our towns were endangered by the numer
ous stragglers from the army, and camp-
followers hanging about them, and that
desertion from the army was encouraged
by the want of persons at those points au
thorized to make arrests, the Department
employed Provost Marshals, and vested
them with authority over all persons in
the army found within their respective
limits.
They have no authority whatever over
persons not in the army, except where mar
tial law is in force in which localities their
police powers are extended to citizens as
well as soldiers.
Whether martial law exist or not, they
are expressly prohibited by a general or
der from exercising civil jurisdiction, and
the Department has checked them in all
cas«s in which the exercise of such juris
diction has been made the subject ot com
plaint.
Many of the Provost Marshals of posts
where martial law is not in force have fall
en into the error of supposing themselves
to be clothed with general police powers,
but the Department has invariably inform
ed them when such cases were brought to
its attention, that they could derive the
power to arrest citizens from the civil mag
istrates only.
Their compensation is usually fixed at
that of a captain of infantry but in some
few cases they have been allowed the pay
of field officers. The reference to the ar
my grade is merely for the purpose of fix
ing their rate of compensation and does
not confer on them grade or commission.
The employment of Provost Marshals
and provost guards is essential to the pre
servation of public property, to the peace
and good order of our chief towns and to
the very existence of the army.
They are paid by the Quartermaster’s
Department because the army regulations
require that department to pay the inci
dental expenses of the army, including
generally all proper and authorized ex
penses for the movements and operation of
the army, not expressly assigned to other
departments.
Provost Marshals being essential to the
operations of the army and not being
chargeable to any other department, seem
properly to he assigued for their pay and
allowances to the Quartermaster General’s
Department.
Very Respectfully,
Your obedient servant,
GEO. W. RANDOLPH,
Secretary of War.
From the London Times.
THE CIVIL WAR IN AMERICA.
If the object is to damage the South,
and to inflict as much damage to
property, and loss to life as possible,
then, no doubt, the President may go
on, giving blow for blow years to come.
Men can always light with one weapon
or another, so long as they are alive
and able to use their limbs. It is a mis
take to suppose that money, or tolera
ble supplies of food, clothing, or ordin
ary comforts are necessary to the work
of cutting throats, blowing out brains,
Distressing Accident.—We were pained
few days ago of the sudden
death of Mr. Thomas C. Billups, <>t this
place, under the following painful circum
stance:
Mr. Billups was a member of a cavalry
company, stationed in Liberty county.
He with some of his comrades, was on his
way home, on furlough. Having been on ,
guard duty one or two nights previously, j
the party went to sleep soon after getting j
on the cars. When they arrived at Mil- j
Jen, Mr. Billups was missed. I pon re
turning, his companions learned that lie
had fallen from the cars when they were
running at the rate of twenty miles per
hour. It is well known in the circle ot
Mr. B’s acquaintance that lie was an habit
ual somnambulist, and there is no doubt
that he stepped from the train while
asleep—Athens Banner.
The Yankee Government—Abraham and the
Press.
The New York “World” claims its
Republican privilege of saying “it
is not always safe for the anti-Admin-
istration press to say so much”—
that
“President Lincoln and Iiis chosen
advisers must be less tenderly dealt
with. The must be held more sternly
to their responsibilities. They must
be made to feel something of the
dreadful earnestness which surcharges
the heart of the people. They must
learn to respect the right of the peo
ple, and’ to treat the people as their
masters, and not as their servants.—
They must tolerate freedom of loyal
speech, and renounce all idea of intimi
dating the loyal press.”
“We have shut our eyes to much
that, in our sober judgment, was
worthy of blame believing that almost
any evil was less injurious than dis
trust, and hopiug that time would
amend all errors. Time did not amend
them. It aggravated them. When
it at last brought the Arbitrary arrests
of loyal men, we could hold our peace
no longer. Faithfulness to the cause
forbade it. To our mind such a
violation of law aud justice was con
trary to every principle this war seeks
to vindicate. It was robbing loyal
minds ot their highest ideas, and loyal
hearts of their holiest supports. ; It
was arming the rebels with new
arguments. It was providing foreign
ers with new sneers. It tended to
nothing but discouragement ; disgrace
and ruin. We protested aginst it.—
We shall continue to protest against
it. We shall protest against ail things
like it. From this time forth we shall
do our whole duty in respect to this
Administration. We shall criticise
without reserve—approving and con-
deming, applauding and denouncing,
as freely as in the days of peace. The
conviction has been forced upon us
that so only can we fitly discharge
our duty to the country in its awful
perils.
“The people are now realizing
the bitter consequences of undue con
fidence in the management of the
administration. The abandonment
of free criticism, which followed the
disaster at Bull Run, and the disposit
ion to trust everything to the discre
tion of the President, have terminated
in an accumulation of disaster and
disgrace that appals and sickens every
heart. • Magnificent armies beaten,
incomputable treasure wasted, and
two hundred thousand lives sacrifice,
the capital still beleaguered, the bor
der States lost, loyal States menaced
by invasion—all this, too, when the
enemy started with an almost absolute
destitution of every war-necessary,
and is still imperfectly equiped, ragged,
and half famished—it is enough to
drive even calm men mad. Consider
ing the available means and tbe actual
results, it is the most disgraceful fail
ure recorded against any government
in modern history. And this is the
requital of the people’s confidence.—
This is the fruit of deferential silence
when Abraham Lincoln chose to re
lieve his subordinates by making haste
to assume the responsibility. It is
high time that this passiveness was
ended.”
