The battle field was not their place, but in tlieir sphere they had done that which was just as es sential to tire success of our cause, as the man who had won honor and glory on the field.

What but to overturn the principles and practice ot iheii own government from tht beginning! That gov ernin' lit was founded and based ppoil the political axiom that ail .Stales and people have th*- inalia* ble right to change their turn s ol government at will. This principle was acted on in the reerrtii- don by the tin teil t-tates ot tire tooth American Republics introduced by Judge Cabiuess. Numerous! amendments were offered, and much dis- j cushion en twelve arrived.

After the Senate retired to their cham ber, the House resumed the consideration of the bill under discussion at the time ot ' tire recess, which was perfected, read the : third time and passed. The bill provides that contracts’tor the distillation of grain ! may he made with agents of the State i anti Confederate Governments for medical j -at, aU.,. with other parties for man ! ufacturing alcohol or other liquors for med- : reel, and manufacturing purposes, and the 'j. ! price for medical use shall not exceed SI ■ 1 50 per gallon. The penalty provided for a violation of this act, is a fine not less than 61,000, and not to exceed 65,000. and imprisonment in the county jail tn.t longer than six months, at the discretion of the | Court; also, that each day’s distillation should the Confederate authorities tail to doit. He offered an amendment author izing? the Governor to call out the. militia provided the power hereby invested shall not. be so used as to conflict with the Con script Law. Mr. Briscoe did r.ot think the Conscript Law had anything to'do with the ques- tion tuner consideration, I he con*titi]. tion authorizes the Governor to callout th.- militia, or such as are not called nut. Col. Boyd had a perfect right to call them out, and there was no need of making this a question here. The States have aeon- current power to call out the militia, hut not an absolute veto on the power to raise armies. The United States authorities (according to Judge Marshall, from which he read) can go into the States and take the militia to anj - other State. He read various authorities to show that the militia ; organization of the States was not inde- i pendent of the power of Congress over a : national militia.
