The opinion of the medical officer as to fitness is necessary, but the selection is one with the discretion and management of the officer whose duty it is to furnish them. If, as appears from the evidence, the Government has a great many public stores in Macon, the Government, iu e vacuating then stores, should put up with iaconvenience as well as the private citizen, whose very living, in many cases, de pends upon his business.

We do uot assent to this geu- eral unlimited power, conceding the right in cases ot urgent aud immediate necessity to take private proper ty for publie use under law; we hold that this powe* is rightfully in the limitation of the courts to prevent 1 unreasonable seizure of houses, aud also to prevent oppressive and flagrant injustice.

In concluding this decision, I will take occasion to say, that uiy friend, Judge Cochran, who presided with , me on the trial aud tfie benefit of whose clear aud ■ nOp®* legal ability l had in the consideration of it, fully con curs with me iu the opinion expressed. O. A. LOCHRANE. Judge Superior Court, Ga. Starvation—the Crops. knew very well that the crash must come ! theopinion of Judge Lochrane.who writes this de’oi- at last. He knew that the vastly inflated currency of the United States was always intrinsically worth less than its nominal value as compared with gold ; but he di rected all the energies of his genius and all the power of his unquestionable abilities to the task of keeping it up at least during the war. He did all probably that human energy and ability could do. He perform ed his part of the contract—it was Lincoln and Seward who failed to fulfill theirs. AVith the delusive promise of a termination of the war wi'hin ninety days continually out to him, lie struggled for three years held against the ceaseless aud tremendous operation of laws which had never before fc.ien known to yield to statesman or finan cier. His history during this eventful period is an other illustration of the great fact that while general laws may suffer a temporary interference from the interven sion, s is tbe bouse or domicil, aud there is uo powe , no law, no necessity, no judge, uo military officer, that can, by f >rce, take tlie freeman's castle and throw him homeless into the streets, with his family and house-boul I goods, except it be necessary for the pub ic defense, or to avert a great public danger. Tlie establishment of hospitals, though a great necessity, is ot the kind or class embraced, and does not come up to that exigency where “saint popnli est suprtma lex." Such act would be not only unreasonable but oppressive, aud tlie exercise of a power claimed by no constitutional government, and one which We think is wittiiu the control of courts to preveut. The power to take stores or publie buildings in prop er construction of law does exist in circumstances which render tlie appropriation necessary and subject to the rules and rcaillations. We wifi now proceed to lay down when the necessity is actual and urgent. As by illustration, if 500 or 1,000 wounded soldiers ure lauded in Macon aud there is no accommodation provided for their shelter, this court will not enjoin the quartermas- tei at this post from impressing stores or public build ing for their immediate use iu a case of such actual and urgent necessity. While we are of opinion that the government, now in possession of la ge stores, and believe its goods couid be stored in its own buildings, and that the large government works going up might possibly be used for the purpose ; and the control of railroads, saw mills, and otlier appliances might be dressed'in painfully positive colors, and j but time will leave it neither apologists hope for it.

If the Government officers do not make these prepara tions, aud sick and wounded soldiers arrive in Macon, tbe same necessity might be urged to take the bed out of a house, or his cooking uteusils from bis family to supply them. We a*sert that these things are easier for the Government to get thau individuals; with money,and transportation, and ageuts every where, it must make provision for the sick and wouuded. It is a disgrace to put them on charity. It is their right that They are not, however without They remember that He who howls the Ocean in the hollow of His hand ; has said, “The race is not to the swift, nor I the battle to the strong.” “More in sor row than in auger,” they accept the dread arbitrament of the sword, in full belief : that the God of battles, who took cog- i nizance of human wars iu the days of I Joshua, would aid their efforts to relieve their loved laud—the land of Kenton and of Boon—the green “Garden of the AVest” —from the fangs of the serpent of fanatic ism! Not a barque of life went down in the gory sea of mortal strife, from Donelson to i Kennesaw, but calls for an avenger—not one that will not be avenged. If auy tiling were wantiug to disabuse the Yaukees of tbe absurd idea of conquering tlie South by starva tion, it would only be necessafy for them to take a flyiDg trip through tbe States of Mississippi, Alabama aud Georgia, and get a view of tlie vast oceans of grow ing corn that greet the e^-e on every hand. It is a source of eongratulatiou to our people that the exten sive cottou plantations throughout tlie South hive been converted into corn fields, aud that the yield promises to be superabundant, and with a plentiful supply of com, we need have no fears of starvation.— Increased stocks of horses, cattle, hogs, sheep, etc., is the necessary result of this abundant supply of corn, and we have no fears but that the Confederacy will be able to sustain her armies in the field as long as the Yaukees shall see proper to continue the war. _ The ptanters seem fully to appreciate their whole j 'I’he soldiers of this brigade, considering duty to tlie country in this great crisis, and while our | „i;i, _ * -i °i j f soldiers in the field are resisting the advance of General a j , 6 ®®Yere toil they hav e undergone.

And this is a work of quite a different charac ter from that of burning houses, killing stock, stealing negroes and devastating the country generally, over which the Y'aukee soldiers march. To conquer uud destroy the veteran and invincible armies of Lee and Johnston is a work fur greater than line tabled labors of Hercules, aud may well bring our Northern cousins to the point ofdespair. They have made the discovery that their armies melt away much faster than our own, aud that the spirit of a people cau never be subdued wheu fighting toi life, liberty aud the right of freeself- goveenment. To tell tlie truth, tbe better iuformed of the Northern people teel and know that to-day the prospect of our conquest and subjugation, either by the process of rob bery and starvation or by tlie defeat aud destruction of our armies, is uot near so flattering as it was the first year ot the war. We were then destitute of al most everything iusces*ary for the successful prosecu tion of hostilities, our people,ami especially our plau * rs, had to be schooled to their duties under the auged condition of affairs, aud we Were in a great measure dependent upon the North for our meat and bread. It was really believed by our would be sub jugators that tlie blockade of the river at Cairo and the stoppage of supplies from coming South, would very soon starve us iuto submission. Rat thanks to the necessity that has taught our people tliis salutary lesson of self-dependeuee, we are now euahled to live and subsist within ourselves, aud it is not within the pro vince of Yankee arms to rob us of this power, so long as mother earth will yield her accustomed rewards to the labor and toil of a husbandman. [Appeal. A Veritable Prophet.—A few months ago, while in command on Morris Island General Seymour said he would celebrate the coming Fburth of July in Char leston. Among ilie many creams and prophecies which huve been going the rounds of the press recent ly, we believe this the moet likely to be fulfilled ; bnt we doubt whether the details of the “celebration’’ will be quite in accordance with the General's wishes. [Chat,. Mer'y. That’s Right.—We learn from tbe Sals bury Watchman that Mr. C. Miller of Ro wan county, has determined to sell ont bis last year’s crop of flour to soldiers’ families at §10 per hundred. There is an abun dant supply of last year’s crop of Wheat still on baud in certain localities, aud we hope those who hold it will imitate Mr. and no oue need entertain fears of starving. Chat lotte Democrat. American liberty, and gambled for the spoils of office by tbe lurid light of its con flagration, would soon realize that there is au iron band clutching for tbe throat of Seward, and a whetted stilletto for the heart of Lincoln. This brigade will stand by the gonfalon of the Confederacy, whether it wave in tbe joyous sunlight of vjetory or trail in the dust of defeat. They will never de- sort the banner of the free in the hour of peril, but like tbe magnetic needle to the polar star, bo their hearts will turn to that flag wheu disaster may conspire to shroud it iu gloom, and lecreants become skulking rebels trafficking for pardon. They have aecretly sworn to crush the monster wrong that has drenched their old homesteads in fraternal gore, and will never yield to the vile despotism that is seeking their en slavement. If the dread hour shall ever come— which God forefend !—when the queenly South shall bend her glittering tiara to the dust of submission, and bare her bosom to the caress of the Puritan libertine, the iron pen of history will write on the tombs of the Kentucky brigade, that they all perr ished in indignation and shame, in the mightiest conflict ever waged for and agaiust the rights of man. The Oat and Corn Crop.—We are glad to learn from onr farmers that the oat crop in this county, is generally good. For several years past this cereal has been a failure. The present prospect of the crop will have a tendency to reduee the price of corn to some extent. The corn crop is in a most prosperous condition. If sea sons continue to favor us we shall have a better harvest this year of all sort of grains than we have had since the begin ning of the war. Surely Providence ia favoring us in a most conspicuous manner. [LaGrange Rep.
