4 The iyn&cripi Law. j Correspondence between Gerernor ISronii) ot 4-eorgia, and President Davit. LETTER FROM GOVERNOR BROWN'. liXitCUTXVB Df l’A-KTAIRN r. i Milledgeville, Ga., Mu 8, 1563 ( Dear dir :—I have the honor to acknowledge the. receipt of your favor of the 2Sch ult., iu re ply to ray letter to you upon the subject ol the Conscript Act. I should not trouble you with a reply, were it- not that principles are involved ol the most vital character, upon the mainte nance ot which, in ray opinion,depend not only the rights and sovereignty ot the States, but the very existence ot State Government. While I am always happy as au individual to render you any assistance in ray power, in the discharge ot the laborious aud responsible duties assigned you, and while i am satisfied you will bear testimony that X have never, the Executive of this S ate, tailed m a single instance to lurnish all the meu, and mi you have called tor, and to ass.st you Jdh mi the other means at my a* turn and, h( h - 13 sent to commit the State to “sovereltrntv in my judgment subversive . . lo.'snn and aL war with all the principles tor the sup port of which Georgia entered into this revo -lUl‘i°mav be said that it is no time to discuss -onstitutiohal questions in the midst of revolu tion and that State rights and State sovereign ty mast yield for a time to !he higher law of necessity ! it this is a sale principle of action, it cannot certainly apply till the necessity is shown to exist; and I apprehend it would be a dangerous policy to adopt, were we to admit thaUhose who are to exercise the power of getting aside the Constitution, are to be the judges of the necessity for so doing. But did the uecessiiy exist in this case ? The Conscrip tion Act cannot aid the Government in increas ing its supply of arms or provisions, bnt can only snaftie it to call a larger number of men into the field. The difficulty has never been to get meu. The States have already furnished the Government more than it can arm, and have from their o vn means armed and equip ped very large numbers for it. Georgia has not oily furnished mote than you have asked, and armed and equipped, from her own treasury, a large proportion of those she has sent to the field, but she stood ready to furnish promptly tier quota (organized as toe Uonsutu Uon provides) of any additional number called for by the President. I beg leave again to invite your attention to the constitutional question involved. You say in your letter, that the constitutionality of tile act is clearly not derivable from the pow ,r to call out the militia, bu from that to raise armies. Let ns examine this fora moment.— The 8:h section of the Ist article of the Consti tution defines the power of Congress. The 12 h paragraph of that section declares, that Con gress "shall have power 10 raise and support armies.” Paragraph 15 gives Congress power toprovideforcailiiigloii.il the mfiria to ex ecute the laws ol the Confederate States, -rip press ins iiructions, ami repel invasions. Para graph 16 gives Congress power to provide for organizing, arming aaddisciplining the militia, and for governing such part ot them as may be employed in the service of the. Confederate States, reserving to the States reapecliv, ly the appointment ol the officers and the authority of training the militia, according to the discipline prescribe<tby Congress These grants ot power all relate to the same subject matter, and are all contained in the same section of the Constitution, and by awell known rule o; const ruction, must be taken as a whole and c nstrued together It would scciu quite clear, that, by the grant of power by Congress to m-c and support ar mies, without qualification, the framers of the Constitution intended the reg tlai armies of the Confederacy, and not armies c imposed of the whole militia ot ail the States. If all the power given in the three paragraphs above quoted, is in fact embraced ia the first* in the general words to raise armies, then the other two para graphs are mere suTplusage, and the framers of the Constitution were guilty of the folly of iu corporuling iuto the instrument, unmeaning phrases. When the States, by the lfiui par - gr.iDh, expressly and ifltrcfully reserved to | themselves the right to appo nt the officers of the militia, when employed io the service ot the Confederate States, ii was certainly never contemplated that Congress had power, should It become necessary to call the whole militia of tne Slate into the service of the .Confederacy, to direct that the President should appoint (commission) all the officers of the militia thus cdled into service, under the general language contaimd in the previous grant of power to raise armies. If this can he done, the very ob ject ot the State in reserving the power ot ap pointing the officers, is defeated, and that por tion of the Constitution is not only a uuliity, but the whole military power of the States* and the entire control of the militia, with the ap pointment of the officers. Is vested in the Con federate government, when it chooses to cill its own action " raising an army,” and not “calling lor the militia.” Is it fair to conclude that the States intended tint these resetved powers should he defeated in a matter so vital to constitutional liberty, hy a mere change in the use of terms to designate Urn act * Con gress shall have power to raise armies. IloW shall it be done ? The answer is clear. In con forraity to tho provisions of the Constitution, which expressly provides, that when the militia of the States are called fortti to repel invasion, and employed in the servi'-e of the Confederate States (which is now the ease,) the States shall appoint tho officers. It this is done, tho army is raised as directed hy the Constitution, and tho reserved rights ol the States are respected ; but if the officers of the militia, when fallen forth, are appointed hy the President, the army composed of the militia is not raised as directed hy tho Constitution, and the reserved rights ol the States are disregarded. The fathers of the Republic In 1737 showed the utmost solicitude, on this very point. lu tho discussion in the Convention on the adoption ol tho paragraph in tho Constitution ol the United States, which we have copied and adopted without alteration, Mr 1 . Ellsworth said : “The whole authority over the militia ought by no means to be taken away from tho Stall s, whose consequence would pun away to nothing after such a sacrifice ot power ” lu explanation of tin? power which the commit tee, who repotted this paragraph to tho Con vention, intended hy it to delegate to the Gen eral Government, when the militia should be employed ip the service of the government, Mr. Kmg, a member of the committee, said: “By organizing, the committee meant propor tioning the officers and men p hy arming, the kind, size and calibre of arms ; hy disciplining, prescribing the manual exorcise, evolutions, &e." Mr Gerry objected to tho delegation of the power, even witn ill's explanation, and said: “This power in the United Slates, as explained, is making the States drill sergeants, lie had as lief let cnizeus ot Massachussetls be disarmed, as to take the command from the States, ami subject them to the General Legislature. Mr. Madison observed, that “arming, as ex plained, did not extend to furnishing arms, nor the term disciplining, to penalties and court martial lor enforcing them ” Alter the adoption of the Convention of Ibe drat part of the clause, Mr. Madison moved to amend the next (cut ot u, so as to read “re serving to the States respectively the appoint ment ot thoollicers. uuder the rank of ukneual ofivkks." Mr. Mmrman considered this as absolutely inadmissible, lie said that it the people should b>* so tar asleep as to allow the most influential officers of the Geue.al Government, every man of discernment would rou-e them by sounding the a arm to them.” Upon Mr. Madison’s pro pos non, Mr. Gerry said : “Let us at ouce des u y the Stale Governments, have an Executive ior nit - , < r hereditary, and a proper Senate, and then there would he some consistency in givibg ull powirs to the General Government; hut aw the States are not to be abolished lu w ondered at the attempts that were made to give powers inconsistent with their existence lie warned the Convention against pushing tin experiment too tar.” Mr .Madison’s amendment to add to the clause the words “under rank of general offi ca- v,” was voted down hy a in j ,rrty of eight ttules against three, ac.oid.ng t<> the “Madison Papers,” from whuli the above extracts art takeu ; and hy nine S'.Ws against two, accord ing to the printed jourm Is ot the Couventiov the reservation in ihe toun iu which it now Stands ill the f-> >-titU’.kn. “reserving to the States the appoint mem . t lU- officers,” when the milit at ie eras L-jt-d iu the service of the Cothder. cy, as well a- the general officers a thi so uuder that grade, wa adopted uuans mous 'ly by tb<‘ Convention.

But admit that Congress, by its acts, intended to give the iroops in every case the right to elect their officers (whicn has not been tbe es tablished practice, us you have commissioned many persons to command as held officers without election,) this dues not relieve the acts o! Congress from the charge of violation ot the Constitution. The question is not •as to the mode of selecting the person who is to have the commission, but as to the government which, under the Constitution, has the tight to issue ihe commission. The States, in the ex ercise of their reserved power to appoint the officers, may select them by election, or may permit the Executive to select them; but the ap pointment rests upon the commission, as there is no complete appointment lid the commission is issued ; nd therefore the government that issues the commission exercises the appointing power, and controls the appointment. I am riot, however, discussing the intention of Congress in ihe assumption of this power, but only the question ot itsp>wer; and what ever may have been its inieution, I maintain that it has transcended its constitutional power, and has placed in the hands of the Executive ol the Confederacy that which the Slates have ex .pressly and carefully denied to Congress and reserved to themselves.

Executive Uepar'cmeiVT, ) Richmond, 2'Jth, May, 1863 ( Dear Sir :—I reeeive.d your letter ot the Bth insl., in due course, but the importance of the subject embraced in it required careful con sideration ; and this, together with other press ing duties, has caused my delay iu reply. The Constitutional question discussed by yon in relation to the Conscription Law had been duly weighed before I recommended to Con gress the passage of such a law; it was lully debated in both bouses ; and your letter las not only been submitted to mv Cabinet., but a written opinion Iras been required from the. Attorney General The constitutionaltiy of the law was su tailed by very large majorities in both houses. This decision of the Congrtss meets the concurrence, not only of my own judgement, but of every immbtr of the Cabinet; aud a copy of the opinion ot the Attorney Gen- UKiL-hcr.ovUh enclosed, develops the reasons on which his conclusions are ba.ied. I propose, however, iron my high respect for yourselt, and . for other eminent citizens who entertain opinions -similar to yours, to set forth, somewhat, .u lengtn, nivown views on the power of the Confederate Government over its own armies and militia, and will en deavor not to leave unanswered any oi the post lions maintained in your letter The main, i! not the only purpose for which independent Btaie- form Unions or Confedera tions, is to combine the power- of the several members in such a manner as to form one united force in ail relations with toreigu pow ers, whether in peace or war. Each State am ply competent to administer aud control its own domestic government, yet too feeble suc eessinlly to tesi-t powerful nations, seeks sateiy by uuuiiig with other States in like condition, aud by delegating to some common agent the combined strength of all, in order to secure ad vantageous commercial relations iu peace, and to carry on hostilities with effect in war. Now, the pow, ts delegated, by i tie several States to the. Confederate Government, which is their common agent, are enumerated in the Bth seel on oi the Constitution, each power being distiuct, specific, and i numerated lu para graphs seperait-ly numbered. The only excep tion is the 18. u paragraph, which by its own terms, is made dependent on those previously enumerated, as follows: “18 To make all iaws which h- neces sary and proper (or carrying into execution ill to; - going powers.” A: • Now, the war powers granted to the Con gress are conferred in the following paragraphs. No. i, gives authority to raise “revenue necessary to pay Lite debts, provide for th.- common defence, and cany ou the govern ment,” etc No 11, "to declare war, grant letters of marque and reprisal, and make rules con earning captures on land aud water. ” N't. 13, “io raise aud support armies; lint no AtipropHplton oi money to that use shut De lot 1 a longi r term than two years. ” N >.

They can only be created bylaw Tne arms bea ing inhabitants of a biale are liable to became ts militia, if the law so order; but in tb a sence o a law to that effect, the men of a State capable of bearing are uornoie militia than they are seamen. Ihe Constitution u’so tens us that militia are not troops, n.r are taey any part of the ia"d and natal lore s; for u.i itia exist in time ot peace aad the <J n sii.ulion to bids the S ates to kee troops in time ol peace, an i they are expressly- distinguis ed and placed masepara e category Irom land or tiav .l lorces, in the 16th paragraph, above quoted; and the words land and naval 10-ces are shown, by paragraphs 12, 13 an ! 14, to mtan ihe army and navy oi me Confeaerate ot ties. Now, if militia are not the citizens taken singly, but a body created ’y law; il they are not troops, ii they are < o ] art of the army and navy ot tho Con eti> racy— we are led directly to the defln tion quo ei by the At torney General, that mi ilia are a "uody o soldiers in a Sta n enrolled tor discipline.” In other words, the term “militia” is a • oilective term, meaning a bod of men organ zed, and ca, not be applied t” the sepa rate mlividdals who compose the organization The Constitution divides the whole strength of the States into only two classes ol organ zed bodies —one, the armies ol the Couledcraey; the other, the militia ot the o tales. In the delegation of power to the Confederacy, after exhausting the subject of deeri ing war, raising and supporting armies, and providing a navy, in relation to alt which the grant oi authority 1o Congress is ex clu-i e, tbe C.institution proceeds to deal with lrye oth er organized body, the militia, and instead of and. legat ing po.er to Congress acne, f reserving it to :ne S ales alone, the power is divided as follows, viz: Con gress is 11 have power— To provide for calling forth the militia to execute the laws ot the C lifederate S ates, suppress insurrec tions and repel invasions.” “ To provide lor organizing, arming and disci; lining the mill ia, and for governing such part of them as may be employed in the service ot the Confederate olat. s; retervint > the Ntates respectively the appoin merit oi officers and the aut ority of tiaining ihe miiitia accord ing to the di c pline prescribed by Oongrets ” Par. 19. Congress, then, has toe power to provide for organiz ing the -.rm.-beari .g people ol the otates iut. mi itia K ch State has the power to officer and train them whan organized. < ongress may call forth the militia to execute Con federate 1 w-s. The State has notsurrendered the pow er to call Iht m forth to execute State laws. Congress may call them torlh to repel invasion; so may ihe States, for it has expressly reserved this rig t. Congress may call them forth to suppress insurrec tion ; and so m.y the States, for the power is impliedly reserved of governing all the militia except the part iu act al service of the Confederacy. I confess myself at a loss to perceive in what manner these careful and well defined provisions ol the Cou- Btiiuton regulating the organization and government of the mi itia, can bo understood as applying, in the remotest degre“, to the armies ■ f lit - ConieJeracy r nor can conceive how the grant of . xclusive power to declare and carry on war by armi s raised and sup ported by the Confederacy, is to be restri t and or di ! mtnisbed by the c aus s which grant a divided power lover iho militia. On the contrary, She delegation ot | authority over the militia, so lar as granted, appears to tie plainly au ail itonal enutnetaitd power, in tended to strengthen the hands of the Conte ierate Government in the discharge of Us paramount duty, the com on defense oi tbb States.

A Fbiend. Tlie Rrltibli ‘‘ThHi<!erer”oa American A flairs. We copy btlow some ipterestinfr articles from late numbers of the Loudon Times. They show at least, how Englishmen can talk : THE SLAVE TRADE CONCESSION OF 'JHE NORTH— THE TRAFFIC WHOLLY A YANKEE BUSINESS THE SOUTH HAS NO SHAKE OF THE SIN —THE SOUTH IN THE WAR—THE NORTH HAD BETTER MAKEPEACE, ETC. This is the first fruit of secession. If there had never been a secession, there would never have, been a slave trade treaty. If the Slates had still been one and inviucible, we never should have obtained from the punctilious re public the privilege of violating the “stars and stripes” by seizing a cargo of slaves lroui un der them Under secession the old slavery-ce mented Constitution has dissolved. Under se cession tha Northern States, grown weaker, nave been compelled to tolerate and even to bow to that anti-slavery feeling, which had been suppressed alike by the Constitution, the iaws, and ihe public opinion of the Union. It was secession which took the sting out of the fugitive slave law ; it was secession which first suggested the thought of buying with State money the freedom of black men ; it was seces sion winch rendered it impossible to wipe the blot ot slavery out of the metropolitan district, ot the States; lastly, it was secession which has now given us this anti-slave trade treaty. Perhaps we shall be told that ibis is a blow dealt by the North against the South. It is no such tbteg. Tue suave ln-.de is exclusively a vice of tue Northern States. The Southern States detested It. and one of their first acts was a stringent law again-1 it. This is not a victory over the South ; it is a victory over tiie North. /The uaau mity of the Senate in this matter is very letnarsable, because there are men in that assembly who certainly have very hearty love for auy measure practically effect ual to put down the slave trade It seems to argue that society iu the North is reforming it self upon more wholesome principles than ob taiued when tbe State was ruled by alliances oi vicious interests. The recent trials of tsoslon, an<r The terrible example made in the case oi one min, had showu that the slave traders of the Norta could not exist without the support ot the slave-owners of the South. It is a large problem w hich has yet to be worked out in the South, but if the experiment proceeds we have no doubt as to the result. The Uuion is impos sible, unless upon the basis oi slavery; divi sion is incompatible with the permanent exis tenc of slavery. We need u<u dissemble the truth about cer tain prepossessions current io Europe. It is beyond denial that, in spile of the slavery ques lion, the Southerners have been rather the favorites, partly as the. weaker side, partly as conquerors against odds, and ’ptrtly because their demand for independence was thought too natural to be resisted at the sword’s point by a government founded on the right of insurrec tion only. To these merely sentimental and not very cogent considerations was added the more potent aud weighty reflection that, what the Southerners liad done, no power, whether American or European, could succeed iu un doing. The dissolution of the Union was an accomplished tact, nor could any statesmen of any country forecast the means by which a gov ernment professing to subsist only by the will of the governed could here-established against the desires of one-third ot the community alter a tierce and smguin.iry war. We could under stand separation, embarrassing and unwelcome as Us conditions might he, hut we could not understand either the conquest ot a territory like that of the Southern States, or the adapta lion of such a conquest, even if achieved, to the put poses avowed by the Northern invaders. In snort, as ali Europe desired the end of the war, and could see but one way iu which th it entl could come, the Soutji got the benefit ot the strait into which we were driven. 11 the Northerners could only see their own interests, or perhaps if the Atlantic cities could have their will, they would undoubtedly pre vent the conflicts weave now expecting, and stop and treat. They will probably never have so good an opportunity. The capitalists won id be fortunate to lini-h the fall nr while their Southern debtors are not yet able to pay oil their mortgages even in that paper currency which is quoted at eighty per cent discount, but which is a legal tender to a mortgagee; are' the State creditor would be wise to settle his accounts while gola is yet to be had at a mod erate premium. Tfilrlyfiftli Georgia Krgiment, Camp near Richmond, ) / June 14th, 1863. ( To the EtiilOr* of the Dispatch : Below I iurnish a list ot the casualties in the 35th Kegim-nt Georgia Volunteers, commanded by Oolouei Edward L. Thomas, iu the battle of May 31st, which regiment suffered more severe ly, according to the numbers carried in the tight, th in any other in the brigade or division. This fact cau ue accounted lor *>uiy hy a simple statement ot the lads connected with the affair: alter our forces composed dl two or more brig ades had been toiced to retire through theskir of woods fronting the batteries and rifle pits ol the enemy, ibis r> gintent was rallied, and by its heroic Colonel led the second time into tin woods, which they pentrated as far as the cen tre—met the enemy —tired iuto him, aud foiced him again to lake shelter behind his forlitica lious.

We present below tlie findings of tho Court of Inquiry ordered to investigate the causes of the destruction of the iron-clad steamer Vir ginia, and ol the iron-elnd steamer Mississippi, then nearly completed at New Orleans. It will be seen that the first act 13 censored, and the other justified as necessary; THE VIRGINIA. C. S. Navy Department, i Richmond, June 11, 1862. f This Court ot Inquiry convoked by the order of this Department ol the 20. la ultimo, whereof French Forrest., Captain in the Na>’y of the Confederate States, is President, and which Court convened at t he city of Kicomond ou the 221 day of May, 1862, to Investigate and “en quire into the destruction of the steamer Vir giuia, and report the same, together witm their opinion a to the necessity oi destroying her, and particularly whether any, and what other disposition could have been made of the ves sel.” have found as follows: The Court having heard the statement read, submitted by Flag Officer Tattnall, was cleared for uclibcration, and. after mature considera tion, adopted the following report : The Court, after a full and careful extminA tion and investigation of the evidence connect ed with the destruction by fire of the Confed erate States steamer Virgiuia, on the morning of May 11th, 1802, near C-ancy Island, respectfully report lha; it was effeeied by he order and under the supervision of Flag Offi cer Tattnall, after her draft had been reduced to twenty-!eet six inches, and on the represen tations of the pilots that, in consequence of re cent prevalent westerly winds, she could not be taken with a draft of eighteen feet as high aa Westover, near Hirrisou’s Bar, in James river, (whither he designed to take her,) which they previou.-ly stated they could do I. The destruction of the Virginia was, iu the the opinion of the Court, unnecessary at the time and place if. was effected. If. It heirg clearly in evidence that Norfolk being evacuated, and Flag-officer Tattnall hav ing been instructed to prevent the enemy from ascending James River, the Virginia, with very little more, if any, lessening of draft, alter lightening her to twenty feet six inches ait, with her iron sheatirfg still extending three feet under water, could have been taken up to Hog Island in James river, (where the channel is narrow) and could then have prevented the larger vessels and transports of the enemy from ascending. The court is of opinion that such disposition ought to have been tnade-OI her, and if it should be ascertained that her provi sions could not be. replenished when those ou hand were exhausted, then the p.oper time would have arrived to take into consider ition the expediency or practicability of slrikirga last blow at the enemy or destroying her. In conclusion, tbe Court is of opinion that the evacuation of Norfolk, the destruction ol the Navy Yard and other public property, added to the hasty retreat of the military under Gen. Huger, leaving the batteries unmanned and un protected, no doubt conspired to produce in the minds of the officers of the Vi grain the necessity of her destruction at the time, as, in their opinion, the < niy means left of prevent ing her from falling into the hands Of the ene my ; aad seems to have precluded the consul eration of the possibility of getting her up James river to the point or points indicated. The Court of Inquiry of w hich Captain F. Forrest is President, is hereby dissolved S. R. Mallory, Secretary of the Navy. THE MISSISSIPPI. The finding of the Court of Inquiry in the case of the destruction of the Mississippi: The Court having carefully considered tlie evidence in the case of the C S. Mi-eissippi, is of opinion that the destruction was necessary to prevent her from failing into the hands oi ti e enemy. England Hefustes to Suricuder the Ship Emily St. Pierre-Piain Talk to the Lincoln Government. [From the London Telegraph, May 22.] A report conveyed by the telegraph from New York that Mr. Adams, the American Minister at the Court ol St, James, had de manded the surrende. of the Emily St Pierre, is perfectly correct; but, of course, the public will have anticipated the only answer that could have been made to such an application. It is almost necessary to recall the incidents which gave occasion for the demand. In March last the Emily St. Pierre was some twelve miles off the coast oi America, having coins from Cal cutta, under orders to make tbeport ol Charles ton, if there should be peace, but otherwise to proceed to St. Johns, New Brunswick. Here -lie was encountered by the Federal war-ship James Adger, and was seized as a “lawful prize,”, ou the pretext that she had saltpetre ou board, but with an intimation that the master migt.t, il he pleased, proceed to Philadelphia. Mr. Wilson declined amt returned to liis ship*, upon which his whole crew, except the cook and steward, were taken Irotn him, and a prizd crew—consisting oi Lieutenant Stone, a master’s mate, and twelve men —tvas placed iu possession, with orders to sail for a prize port. Everybody will rein,-tuber tho manuet iu which Mr Wilson laid his plans ; how, wjih the powerful help o! the cook and steward, he surprised the Lieutenant and his men ; and how, some three days after the original capture, he was again master ol his own vessel, with the fourteen gallant Federal* prisoners in bi hands —all effected without shedding a single drop of blood. The testimonial present ed to Mr. Wilson a' Liverpool on the 3d fust, was backed by the ap piaudiug sympathy oi the whole nation ; for it was felt that ne had not ouiy done honor to in race, but had added another to those achieve ments of our mercantile in irine "hiea have contributed to its high position throughout the world. We are now asked to give up the shq , aud to let her return to the port from wheue* she did not come—the intended prize port; but of course, there is but one answer to such a demand. It the vessel had actually been carried to such a port, its ulterior disposal was not so clear a question that it cau now be decided by a sort oi retrospective assumption. The captors would have had to show, in tho first place, that there was an intention of breaking the blockade ; and we have no reason to suppose that they coaid have been able to bring forward such evidence as would have satisfied even the most “patriot te” prize court ; for lu tie absence o! any proof to the contrary, we are . ;,i to assume that even a Federal court would ' : suffered itself to be guided by nothing but the sonstan ial and legal evidence laid before i . Even il Mr. Wilson had intended to enter Charleston, it would remain to ha shown that the blockade at that pl ica wis effective—i question wttich many o , this side ot the Atlantic would like to see deliberately and formally raised, since the very greatest doubts have exited upon the subject, not only in Europe, hut in America — aye, in Washington itsell. Over aud ah-.-t these leading facta, it would nave been neces sary to substantiate the correctness of all the preee, dings in seizing the priz ; and, we re peat, not one of these subjects can be now set led by the summary process of c. j ettiro. The expectations that the commauder of the Emily St. Pierre and his crew woo and be content to hark back, to replace themselves in the posi tion ot captured parties, and to voyage as vol unteers lor adjudication ia a prize court at Philadelphia, or any other port of the United States, is so wild that it surprises us to tied it even wi.htu the scope of American im tgi.ia tion. If the officer and his men cou!d procure the consent of their owners, and could recon cile it to their own s ns i of du y to-va'ds their country and its mercantile marine they would still be'without anv technical warrant for the act. Tne vary circumstances attending the re surrender of me re-cap ured ship tnu-t shut i out of court. Ia the seizure, it was part aud parcel ot the correctness o the proceeding that the capture should be success ul. We never yet heard a naval or military commander who could claim the crown of laurel, or any other rights and privileges of a victor, unless he con sninmated ins victory It has, we know, been stated recently, under the authority of a very eminent literary name, that the Emperor N’a poi on won the battle of Waterloo—"that is, ne would have won it” if things had fai ea out differently; bnt we do not remember that any existing g vernment eipr claimed lor Franc the right of behav.ng as victor after the 18 h ot June; <ud we really doubt whether there ex sts, even in the Untied S ates, age itlenn u the jndcial beach vh > could listen fora moment to Mr. Wi son, it he w - i-r< passessed by the mot.omaiiiacal propens ly to surrender him self a pro-oner, and invite an atgudication of the Emily St. Pierre as a prize. We cau’iot, there:ore, understand what par pnsi Mr. Seward can have prop >sed to him-elt in courting publicity ior the transaction ; it has never be* ti alluded to on this .-Ue uiuti to* Americans tln-mselves disclosed it ; ami if the geatletnt-n at Washington had phased, they might have jet it remain buried iu secrc.-y with some other amusing es apaues and blued* ra of the last year and a halt.

A iFIKg ol Truce# The Charleston Mercury of Saturday says : Oa Wednesday, under a flag of true, a writ ten communication was brought to the lines ol our pickets, from Geu. Stevens, commanding the U. S. forces ou James’ Island, addressed to the Couleder ite commander. Its purport was to arrange about an exchange oi prisoners, to get permission to send eluting, le.Ueis and money to the prisoners and wounded in our possession, and to inquire about their number, names and condition, and concerning the dead inquiry was specially made about seven officers missing. The communication was polite iu tone, and stated that the lew (Johfideraie pris oners aud wounded were well eared lor. On ihursday the Uoniederate commanding officer replied, granting permission to make such ex changes, although at present the enemy get ihe chief benefit oi the arrangement. Frtusy, 11% o’clock, was appointed to exchange artieie-s auu letters, and Capt. King, ol Gen. Samli’s stall, in iuii dress, but without arms, met Uapt. Luck under ii ig ol truce, and received ar teles oi clothing, some letters, aud SBS in gold lor the prisoners, transferring some in uu-t lor oui own 'men. Among others was a letter from the gallant Uaptam Williams, of the Forty-seven.h Georgia, to his wife. He was mortally wound ed, and died iu the enemy’s bauds. Before these arrangements were completed, contrary to usage, one ot the enemy’s gunboats, far up the Slouo, ffied eight or ten shots a one of our butteries, lor winch a note oi apolo gy, addressed to Opt. Luck, was immediately sent by Gen. Wright, eommaudiug one ol the brigades ol the Northern toms ou Janies’ Ist and, to Gen. Smith, through Gapt. King. It staled that the firing was probably done througi iguoraneu of the nffieer ; expressed regret, au contained au i ffir to make auy proper repaiu iiou tfiat migh- he desired lor the apparent breach of good lailb. Experiments have lately been made at Wash ingtofi which show, that iion plates are noi proof against rifle cannon shot.
