1 ties the law technicality in a

T«niu. j o j- eac jj ot i, er forever. The principle
is laid down by Vallet as follows:
When a nation becomes divided into
two parties absolutely independent
and no longer acknowledging a com
mon superior, the State is dissolved,
and the war between the two parties
stands upon the same ground, in every
respect, as a public war between two
different nations—Book III, chapter
17, page 42S. It is not to be won
dered at therefore, that so learned and
profound a jurist as the honorable
member from Pennsylvania (Mr. Ste
vens) should express the same opinion.

Nevertheless, without reference to

fers no obstacle whatever to such a

the Federal Union was established, all
chances of the Conservatives in the the Statcs were independent, and ks-

by the latter on the vote of the sol

like manner with the rest of the pee- |
pie, and moreover, will be tired of j

It is, therefore, a very simple opera

it would insure an ultimate re-union

A volume entitled “YVest Point and*
Political Generals,” soon to be issued by a
Southern publishing house, gives a brief
summary of the exploits of Morgan, the
great Kentucky Partisan. They border
on the marvelous; yet they are strictly
authentic. He began with a small body
of horse, which be raised himself, and
during bis career has brought from within
the lines of the enemy, and turned over to
the Confederate service, nearly 5000 men.
He has generally been at the head of less
than 1000 men—in bis famous raid on
Kentucky lie started with S75, and re
turned with 1200. He lias within two
years fought more than fifty battles—and
killed or wounded more than six thousand
of the enemy, and has made upwards of
fourteen thousand prisoners. His expedi
tions have always been of the most daring
description ; yet he has never, but on two
occasions, been forced to fight when he did
npt wisli it. Many of his battles Lave been
of the most desperate character, and he
has been uniformly victorious. He has
frequently operated hundreds ot miles from
support, in the midst of overwhelming
bodies of the enemy, whose strength was
greatly enhanced by the possession of
railroads and telegraphs, stretching around
him like a web, and almost indefinitely fa
cilitating their power of concentration,
while in the same degree, it complicated the
dangers of his situation. The sagacity by
w bicli be lias always been enabled to pluck
triumph from the very jaws of these.mul
tiplied dangers, indicates tho military
genius of the highest grade.
The following is a summary of Morgan’s
exploits iu the’ six months, beginning 4th
July, 1S62, and ending 4th January,
1S63 : Between 12,000 and 15,000 pris
oners and 18,000 .stand of arms, captured;
and 89,500,000 worth pf stores, destroyed ;

and armed and equipped by himself, he
having received but 200 saddles from the

YVllO wants tho amount 1 Georgia next
October, for twelve ensuing months.—
Fifteen millions bushels for the people of
the State : fifteen more her pro rata, to
sustain the soldiers; forty millions for
horses and cattle, and ten for hogs and
pork. YVliereas vovn has to be moved we
must allow twenty per cent loss—that is
sixteen millions. Suppose an ordinary
cbtton crop had been planted last year
what with the drought in Cherokee and
other places would have been our condition
this ISth of February or rather three
months hence 1 Not a busheljwould have
been for sale. Famine would have stalk
ed abroad from the sea-board to tbe moun
tains—from Savannah to Chattahoochee.
Our brave boys would have been worse
off than at Fort Donelson—too feeble to
make a charge upon their assailants, from
strained efforts sixty hours—now it would
be for want of food. Never was such a
crop produced in the State aud yet it it
holds out to October, we should-be full of
gratitude to the Father of mercies, who
blessed the labor of our hands.
It was the result of true patriotism that
controlled our people to abandon a cotton
crop and plant so largely in corn. God
lias rewarded this patriotism with hia
blessing upon our labors ; but three fourths
less in corn would have proved our over
throw ; to day thousands would hare wit
nessed famine in all its horrors.
“But we shall have peace in three
months and tbe cotton will bring 16 to 20
cents.” Let no such illusions deceive you;
the wily foe may be holding out these
omens on purpose to deceive and ruin us
Odi onines o/nuns Danaoram—the lute to
destroy,
A corn crop is worth more than a cotton
crop at 81 per bushel. Three acres of
cotton may produce 1600 pounds in the
seed ; 100 ginned, at 15 cents, is worth
$60—Those three would produce GO bush
els corn—860. If you estimate tbe cotton
at 20 cents then 1 estimate tbe corn at
SI 50, and tho corn is most profitable.—
But four times the labor is required to
gather three acres of cotton which the ‘
corn demands. This would enable you to
plant 12 in corn; then you are 100 per
cent, better off.
But I appeal to your love of country—
to your willingness to sacrifice a little lon
ger in this good cause to save your coun
try by sustaining the soldiers. Don’t let
avarice tempt to barter what you have
suffered so much for, to get money for your
cotton cmp. 1 conjure you by all that is
sacred in home, country, liberty—both
civil and religious—I conjure, you to plant
*orn and thus 6ave all ; for without food,
we are a prey to our unrelenting foes.—
Our temporal salvation depends on a good
corn crop for 1863. YY’c have done and
suffered too much already to be led astray
by the avarice of a cotton crop.—Corn,
com, cor.v, for 1S63.—Atlanta Intelli

The Louisville Democrat' says that
there is a growing conviction that the
party in power at Washington have
no expectation or desire to succeed in
putting down this rebellion. They
intend to do all the harm to the South
tlmt they can, in the remnant of time
left them, and then acknowledge the
separation. By this means they hope
to hold power in the remnant of the
Union. We shall sec.
Artillery .Experiment*.
The big gun of the steamer Rich
mond, on the James river, has been
tried with ample success. A target,
plated with eight inches of iron, was
penetrated with the powerful projec
tile fired from the gun, at a distance
of eight hundred yards! It was first
charged with fifteen pounds of pow
der, then with twenty, and finally
with twenty-five; but the twenty
pound charge was found to be the
most effective.
