Hennion Impossl ble consistently wn
Honor nd Interest.
We some days ago t ook occasion to pro!; t
against even an Ultima lion of the pracucabtb.j
of restoring the old Union, on any a? 1 ““
Boever We were lon# in makin } . up our
soever . an a d jd not do so un’il
minds to a a ajjd j ußt ice in. a family
every hop North was utterly futile a id
alliance w ghed tbe malt , e r well, before we
valn- h It was, with ns, and those who acred
leo Lb e ug , no hasty, inconsiderate step. T Ve
parted w*tb our former brethren only when a
longer continuance with them were dishonor
and the basest of slavery. Every step we have
•advanced since that day has batconfirmed ns
in the wisdom and absolute necessity of the
repudiation.
Under 6uch circumstances, it is not to be < x
pcc.ed tuat we should review the act with the
slightest prospect of recalling it. The So ih
has dissolved the hateful and baleful connec
tion and set op for herself—let her maintain
the position she has taken or perish ulteily
in the attempt. This is our sentiment on that
important question, and we neither expect or
desire to change it. War, with all its hotrors,
even though it continue for a decade, were far
prolerable to the foul dominion of faualjcs and
i fools.
Nor do Southerners stand alone in this opin
ion. In looking over the latest news from be
yond the Atlantic, wo find an impartial looker
on inspired by the same sentiments and expres
sing the same abhorrence to a reunion of the
South and North. The London Herald, the or
rati of the Derby party in England, publishes
an argument which we would commend to
every free citizen of this Republic. It is so
truth!nl and forcible that we annex it for the
serious contemplation of our readers. The
Herald says:
“We should think ill of the Confederates if
on any terms whatever they c< u- ’ ' 1 to ac
cept as fellow countrymen the. r. ere-navy
hordes of ruffians by whom their couutry has
been desolated.
“And the acceptance of Northern submission
would be as contrary to sound policy as to
right feeling and patriotic instincts. The Union
can only bo reconstructed by giving certain
powers, however limited, to the Federal G v.
and binding over the Northern States to observe
certain conditions of*-the Federal compact. —
They cannot be excluded ir> m all share in the
Federal power ; sooner or late > probably with
in ten years, they must recover -by force of
wealth and numbers their ascendency at W ash
ington ; and then the work of the two last y<-u:s
would have to be done over again. If any p u,v r
Con-ihufious, if any guarantees, if any oaths
t aid bind the Northern States to the
ar.ee of their Federal duties and preclude them
from interfering in the internal afftirs of their
neighbors, the old Cjnstitn'lnn would hove
sufficed. That Constitution iV ; v v otet i habi
tually ar.d systematically. Their preachets In
culcated the duty of perjury; ihcir lawyers de
fended treason ; their statesmen formed politi
cal parties to override tbe law ; their citizens
assembled to resist it by armed forte ; nay.
armed murderers frr m tbo North invaded
Virginia, assassinated sleeping cit'z-ms in their
her!-, and, when banged for their crimes, were
honor.--* as martyrs fn New England. Wh it
guararu • cau be given by such a people which
tv mid be worth more than the paper on which
it, was written ? What worse folly could there
be than to throw away the fruits of eighteen
m >ntbs/)i endurance of bloodshed, of g!orh us
achievement, by re-uniting with a race by
whi lino obligation, however solemn, has ever
be<>n respected a day after it had the pow“r and
the, temptation to vitiate it V Of such madness
we cannot believe that the able statesmen who
guide the destinies of the Confederate States
wll ever be guilty.”
Inteuesti a Case op Habeas Corpus. —V, T e
gather from the Charleston papers the follow
ing faeffi concerning a ruse rccen'ly b fore
Judge Magrath, of the Confederate Court:
Conftdera'e Slates c.t parte J. X Hart —ln this
case tbe peliticner was brought be f ore the
Court upon a writ of habeas corpus It nup-.'.rs
that the petitioner was a private in the Forty
sixth Georgia, and ihat. his father, who i- a
shoe factory in Georgia, applied to the Secreta
ry of War for a discharge, in order to obtain
his as- istance in the factory. Permission was
granted, on condition of iuruisbing a substi
tute. The condition was accepted, and a man
named Jacob Adams put in the place of th”
petitioner as a .substitute. Adams was duly
accepted and mustered into service, and H urt
received his discharge in due form Adams,
upon the receipt of the substitute lee, and the
departure of Hart, immediately deserted He
Wis arrested at Augusta, Georgia, by the S--
gi ant of the company Into which he had ban
mustered, brought back, and is now-eon fined
in jail. Col Colquitt afterwards ordered Hart,
the petitioner, back to his duty inbte Company.
The petitioner returned to Georgia, and claims
his discharge under habeas corpus. The tlte
eha-ge isf resisted on the ground of the fraud
prau ised by Adams, tbe substitute, in his rep
resentation of himself. The petitioner, bow.
ever, is not charged wjth any participation in
th alleged fraud.
After h: ruing the argument, Ilis Honor Judge
Mat:rath took tho case under consideration aud
subsequently delivered bis decision ordering
the release of the petitioner. Hart.
The Government and the Akmv.—We hope
every one into whose hand? thi? paper may fall,

d. n the point re.erred to as fc&vi g been

Our Dangers after the War.
We have enough to do at present to look to
the war and stiain every energy to close, it rue
cessfully for our arms. Yet, it may not be
amiss, occasionally, to take a peep into the tu
ture, and spy out the daggers that will beset
our pathway after Peace shall have spread her
golden wings over our lair inheritance. Inde
pendence won, we should, as a wise people,
take all the necessary steps to secure it for us
and our posterity. Much of our success as a
nation will depend on a wise forecast- among
our statesmen so to direct the machinery of
government that all its parts shall work bar
monionsly and no foitign body be thrown in to
aetard its progress and finally bring its m ove
ments to a stand still.
The greatest danger we. have to apprehend,
in our judgment, is an extensive intermix 1 ure
with, <\r a total destruction of, our nationality
as a
of the Confederate States will be the
onlyportion of ihe American continent tlia
will be fit for the residence of the decent por
lion of the Anglo-Saxon race. Indeed, tbe
productiveness of our lands and the extraordi
nary facilities fur commerce and enterprise ot
every sort, will conspire to make it a most in
viting field for labor and capital. Both will
flow in from all quarters of the habitable globe,
and from none so freely as lrom that with which
we are now at war. Ills for our ti-a-’e ar.d busi
ness alone that the Yankees are now deso
lating our land and drenching it in fraterna
blood. The Union was always, with them, a
question of dollars and cents, and they would
have freely given it up long eisce bat for tbe
financial ruin that stares them iif tiie face as the
certain result of a separation. They arc as ten
acious people, and we shall find it quite a it ird
to get rid of them in peace as we do in war.
Hostilities ended and qur independence aoknow
ledged, with abundance of labor and every in
dustrir; pursuit prostrate at the North, we
shall have a peaceful invasion of our territory,
in search of gain, with which the incursions of
their hostile legions will prove hardly a cir
cumstance in comparison. They will flow in
from Maine to lowa, every adventurer v/ith a
benignant smile in his countenance and a lie or,
his tongue. Every man of them will dr-clan
that k -. wa3 opposed to the war, that he nev r
ceased to love his southern brethren, and-that
ill he did against them was forced from h-m a 1
the point of the bayonet. They will swarm
over cur land like the locusts of Egypt, iv-’d i
let alone to do as they piease, will eat out om
subsbyjce and eventually destroy the gr-v- tn
ruont by instilling into it their own infern 1
terns and selfish conspiracies.
Now. how is this disastrous state of affairs to
be provided against? That is the great question
for our statesmen to solve after the war—and
we hope w” r a have, statesmen to do it, for it
would be a pity indeed, after all the blood,
treasure, and distress our government will cost,
us, to turn if, over to the tender mercies of the
miserable, contemptible demagogues who have
so long preyed upon the public character and
welfare. Labor and capital we shall need
artistic and productive labor and capital to put
it in motion. It will be c’eentiai to our pro
gress, unless we have resolved to continue a
strictly agricultural people and depend or.
others for cv-ry product of mechanical skill
Yet this we cannot have without a largo influx
of the very p pnlation against which we seek
to guard.
There is, however, one plan by which w- can
derive all the benefits ot such emigration and
keep out all Us evils, add we hope the gov rn
ment will at an early day turn its attention to
the subject It. should ha done now in order to
bo done effectually.
In th* American principle, extended to tbe
Ynke- a a® well as to others is to be found out
only hope of safety While civil rights sh- tu
be aceo; ded to all, the political privileges ;
the country, and especially the right to vote,
shou’d bn confined to citizens of the Confede
racy at the date of the treaty of p, ace, and none
others, the government of the country to be
copfi ■d to them and native born cii'z £, ns fi r
■H til-0 to come We would engraft th " pr,
vision on the constitution, and there let it le
ma’n • sacred. It could harm nobody, and it
would keep no good man aud useful citizen
out of the country, whilst we sbon’d ev. r i>e
secute against foreign heresies and other dan
gerous infloenoes. .
We throw out the suggestion at. this early
day, and at a time when there are no party con
sidc.rations;in existence to prevent a full and
candid consideration of its merits.
C 1 nit tag for tire Soldtera— —Despatch
from ilie Secretary of War.
As our cor; i spondent’s testimony rcg<vdit)2
the snilrring in the army had been questioned,
and a rtatetmet. given to the public on tl;;
assurance of army officer?, that the govern
ment was abuudamly supplied with shoes,
elothii-g, and other necessaries and comforts for
the army, which would be distributed at a pro
per time, and that private individuals were
making unnecessary sacrifices under a mistaken
view of th ; ease, we determined, it possible, to
satisiy both the public and cuive v.s on the
vutjyct. We, accordingly, addressed a note of
enquiry to the Secretary of War, who promptly
replied by telegraph, as follows :

This settles the question ; and now, let all the
.people go to work. Shoes, sock?, drawers,
vests, neck ties, indeed clothing of every de

and forwarded to the army.

What. ih jGovernniont hb 1 and Is j
doing fir die Melt Wounded, and
destitute Anlolc .
Winchester Va., Oct 12th, 1863.
In my letter "cd yesterday, I endeavored to
show what may be accomplished- by the intel
ligent and well-directed effort of one State in
the matter of providing for its wounded soldiers
and relieving its sick and destitute. The State
referred to was Georgia, and the agency through
which Us charity and benefactions distributed
was the Georgia Relief and Hospital Associa
tion. It, was shown that the State, in addition
to large individual contributions of money,
clothing, medicines and stores, had appropriat
ed the sum of S2OO.CCO lor the reliei of the sick
and wounded ; that the Association had estab
lished four large hospitals in Richmond, that
theso hospitals were provided with surgeons,
matrons, nurses and chaplains ; that an ample
supply cfcfurcitnre, bed-sacks, sheets, towels,
bandages, splints and medicines bad been pro
cured ; that a large store room had been rented,
where clothing was kept for gratuitous distri
bution among the troops from Georgia and the
very needy from other States, and where extra
baggage and c-spn a freight might be stored
free of charge; and that the Association had in
its employ a number of agents, active and
zealous agents, who, upon the occurrence of a
battle, repaired immediately to the seen® of ac
tion, carrying with them a supply of medicines,
bed sacks, sheets, towel-, bandages, clothing
&c., collected up the wounded from their State,
nut! rendered every a sistance, moral and physi
cal, it, was in. their power to besiow. It was
shown a!that these agon; 1 were industrious
and energetic men, full •of sympathy and good
feeling, who did not wait for the sick and dost!
tute to coma to them, 'outwent out in search
of the .Sufferers, got them into as comfortable
quarter? as possible, put beds oi straw under
their weary Pm -•?, i'amided : sen with a change
of clothing, and nursed, them like brothers—as
they are.
To-d: y T propose to show what the Govern
mem is doing for th . sick and wounded under
the same cireum Peaces—not with a view o !
finding fault, but to indicate the defects in the
system It has adopted, to the end that they may
b corrected.
It is customary after a battle has been fought,
to collect the wounded together ia temporary
hospitals or end them to the rear. At Rich
mond, they were placed in the hospitals, in that
city ; after the second battle ot Manassas they
were sent oack to Warrcnton an j other towns
in thecity, and at Sharps bung they were
sent acr isa Hie river to Shepherdstown and
tbSncc to this place and Staunton. The regi
ui ut and surgeons dr ?- the w u. and, and set or
a: -ve the limb a? th case in iy be, before
tient om their hands to the rear.
• of these oi . ; >rs p. rfbrm their work
skilfully and coa ;usiy ; others dolt bor
ricdly or ignorantly; nhi*d few do ifina
m ’.niter ti. ' can ciriv bo ]> ■ •• eriv cl!.:, .icter'zed
as brutal. I have knows of cases ortimputa
lions whet • the 1..; irgy ii >• tbe flesh wa
sewed together over tfi !>■ : • ?.-• stupidly, tha;
the thread would dir.-amrage itfiuf: t-• i hn bone
be exposed ia leas than twenty four hours. The
object ot many ot t 1 ■ fiv hi suivcons seems tu
be to get through with their work, in soon
sort of fa ••.Ultra, i‘3 soon as possible, and turn
their sur-jecto over to the horpiUl surgeons.
While ciq-i*k -1 at t ! 'e amputation tabje, irtanj
Lt them tee! it to be their solemn duty, every
live ii.'iy ::■! Ag ■!’; i a * l . - brandy to the patent, tr
i.-.ke a Brink Munu-'lvi'b, This part of their
wotk is ncrfcuT.vd w : I j greet unction and cf>n
6?te®tlon -ness Ia a in jority ofiastanc ;s t how
ever, lam glad to say, the fib! surgeons do
quite at v,-. !'; : coukl be expected of young
men who h ivo 1 I bat -li’fle. practical exne
riencu in the art of surgery. In eases of ordi
nary slckne.-s they have but little to do, iuas
’.finch as .the Government has been able to
furnish teem with l ut few medicines, and they
h re coe.s'-quently biA little to administer.
But it is when the wounded man falls into
the hards of the hospital surgeons that his
greatest sufferings begin. I ilo not mean such
r-'eoBS as those iu the Richmond hospitals,
which are located in a large city under the eye
of the Government, and are provided for with
careful matrons and nurses and an ample supply
of hopsital stores; tha circumstances surround
inll: these officers, if nothing else, would cia
s'ra'n them to perform their duties. But lal -
lud' to tbe surgeons in those hosjMuila which
ate improvised in the rear of the army, as at
t.t-.i: place ar.d Vv. rrenton, and who being of
but little value at Richmond and other central
points, are sent to the country. Shall I daguer
reotype two of these Burgeons for yon? Sam
Weller would call them 4 Stubj:;cs,” and per
haps that is a more appropriate ierm for them
than surgeons.
Nearly two weeks after the battle of Sharps
bnrg, two yourg gentlemen, of irreproachable
moustaches, were introduced into my room at
a hotel in this place by the landlady, who in
formed me tt; it they would be my room-mates
for the po'" t. I: appeared from, their con
vt r ;ti -u that ihey had just arrived from Rich
mond—that they had been acting i.n the capacity
of assistant Mire ous there fornea ly a year,
and ti: it they b been despatched to Winches
ter to assist in t- king care of the wounded in
the batik* of Sharpsourg. Two questions of
mneh magnitude occupied their attention for
ball an hour or more—to wit: Ist, whether
they should report to the surgeon of tbe post
in person or by note ; 2d, whether, in the event
they riportedin person, they should “d’-ess up”
or go as they were. They finally decided to
dr ss first, and then send up their report in
writing. The consideration which brought
them, to this conclusion arose from the fact
if. they were without paper, and the idea of
going into the sir. et to purchase a supply in
'he'-r present plight, could not be entertained
for a moment. Nearly two hours were devoted
to their toilet. After washing and scrubbing
ver so long, their hair and moustaches had to
b carefully cleaned and oiled, their uniform*,
• • v reu ail over*with g >ld i.iee, neatly dusted,
!• *,*. duly polished One of them

fbi'ii's bu on c insußi- g “Jim” (his compan
ion,) dv. finally agreed that boots would be-
mm the set ol his pan'- better. So ha put oh
tie boots.
Having firished their elaborate toilets and
lifted out of the room, the following laconic
dialogue ensued :

Tbe Surgeons were late in arriving here, and
wore equally Alow, ns you have seen, in reporfi
ji.g alter (hey had arriv'd. The agents oi the
Georgia Relief and Hospital Association reach
ed Warrcnton with their supplies nearly a week
in advance of the Surgeons sent up from Rich
mond. The same is true a* to this place. In
less than twenty-four hours after their arrival
here (the tune requited for some of the govern
meat surgons to arrange their toilets and report
for duty,) they had visited every hospital in the
town, gathered up many of the wounded from
their State, dressed their wounds, furnished
them with a change of clothing, and gone to
work to secure separate hospital buildings for
their accommodation. Why cannot the gov
ernment Burgeons show equal activity and hu
manity ?
One thing has impressed me more painfully
than nil others connected with the army. It is
the little concern which the government, its
officers and surgeons show tor.me preservation
of the iives of their troops. A great parade is
made ever a single piece >f artillery cap
tured from the enemy; and yet what is
such a trophy compared with the life o*
an able-bodied man, even when considered
as to its military value! We have none
too many men in the South ihat we should
adopt a sjs era so disregardfol of life. The
whole country is interested in the life and
health of every man in it, and if some of the
energy displayed in forcing feeble and unheal
tliy conscripts into the service, were shown in
taking care of the sick and wounded, the army
would be all the better for it A planter who
would take a3 little care of the health of his
slaves as the government does of its soldiers,
would soon have none to care for, while he
wouid be driven out of the community by his
indignant neighbors P. \V. A.
IFlorlda aa.4 Texas,
The Federate are about attempting to gratify
their desire to possess and hold thfse two
States, for which plundering purpose they seem
to be devising ways and means. A Washing
ton correspondent of the Chicago Tribune,
writing on the s;h, says:
General Garfield will pr -Va’ily bo the com
mander of the forces, three brigades, r.s it is
now urfie’stood, beside - he ei!"z:nssix months’
soldiery wh > are to hold, occupy, posses -and
cultivate the rich lands o! Florida under Eu
Thayer as military governor. .The p: j at o
colonizing Texas in tbe fame ••• ay h urged ogali
now that Colonel llamiU’-n h ; - shown him-.ell
to bejust, the man we want l<- r tab it ary gover
nor ot the lone s’ar Stale. Be lore ho came to
New York, Frank Blair wa- ilked < f for the
place, but Col. Hamilton’s el ' ifuilil seem
obe superior, particui.uJy as it te according u
'he policy of the administration to appoint a
Texan, a.dit is under u'lod that he is pressed
by General Cissiu? M. Clay,who desires to com
uiand the forces to accompany him.
To this idea he conceives there are but two
objections: First, tbit a. :<> . ..i-;!■ men uuj
bus be drawn from the army, where their ser
•■’ices may be r< iptircd under calls fur more men
yet to issue ; secon i; th it • :.e irue place for the
;he cola r.’zuiou of the S rr.h to begin is in th
rear of their advancing from the North, bath
in order to protedt their rear and because the
climate is better suited to Northerners. The
writer adds :
A sufficient answer to the f.f-t.nd objection i&
.hat there are no unoccupied lands in the rear
.if our armies, at the present time, Virginia
•nd Kentucky being held by the enemy ; aha
much has yet to be done b -tore immigrants ca
•a reasonable security put hi their crooi, a
certainly they cannot wh •<: VY ishiagton, Louis
ville and Cincinnati are .-.till in danger; and tha
.hit- is not the season to settle iu the northern
most of the rebel As for the danger o
'■educing our reserves lor ihe army, by coloniz
ing able-bodied men, need they be taken ? Wit
not invalid soldiers answer as well? Ia lh<
second place, these soldiers are, in point of fact,
added to our armies, since they are to cor.sti
tute co-operating and distracting forces. When
winter puts a bar on the operations in the
North, should not our generals march iron
new bases in the South ? If so, to have Florid
and Texas loyal Slates m their rear, would sure
ly be a very great advantage. And they wit
also be pi v-es •>( refnge forjthe black laborini
population of the adjoining States, whose ex
odus wil weaken the rebel strength and nece.*
state the detaching offerees from the main rebel
armies to stop it. With Florida and Texas ii
>ur possession, wholly or in part, with ali tin
principal Southern cities captured by the nav>
is they will be before m ay weeks ; with, ou
guuboat ' penetrating the interior ot every rebel
State, and ma ting “the dead letter” of tin
proclamation of freedom a living spirit, tin
coming w nter, however little is aecompiishei
in Virginia and Tennessee, will not be throwr
away as last winter was.and the spring will find
the rebellion shorn of much of it- strength.

not (provided the power of tho enemy had con
tintß.il broken and divided by the troubles ti
the continent,) have answered our purpose; btr
I do ray, that under existing eircum dances and
for our present purpose, the recruiting system
ought not to be relied on ; it cannot be relied
on to fill our ranks by the openirg of the next
campaign, and to risk the loss of the next cam
p ,ign is to risk the loss of everything. But is
there no mode to which you can resort for fill
ing the rank? but voluntary enlistment? I would
be extremely sorry if we could not I have al
ways thought this government, when ad minis
tered in the true spirit of the Constitution, the
strongest government in the world, even for the
purposes of war; but if the doctrine set up of
late be true, this is the .weakest aud most con
temptible government on earth ; it is, neither
fit for war nor peace; it has failed of all the
ends for which governments are established.
It cannot be true that this Government,
charged with the general defence, authorized to
declare war and to raise armies, can have but
one mode ot raising armies, whilst every other
government that has ever existed has had an
absolute power over the population of the
country for this purpose, and has actually ex
ercised it. But this question i3 not properly
before the fclou=e, and I will not go into an
argument to show that you can, like other gov
ernments, resort to other modes of raising
armies than that of voluntary enlistment; that
you cau resort to claMfka ion and draft, to
ela? ification and penalty, or any other mode
which a sound discretion may in a particular
stat eof the country dictate and jus'ily. All 1
intend to say at present is, that you have an
ABSOLUTE POWEK OTEH THU POPULATION OP
Tins ounTKY Port THIS PUhposE, and that in
the present state of the country it is wiser to
resort to classification and dr? t, than to resort
to the bill from the Senate ; the one will give
the men certainly and expeditiously, theoitfci
will not.”
1 hose who have assailed the Conscript law
for raising troops by “classification and penal
ty,” must experience some little distrust of
their own satrtcity and judgment, when they
find themslves confronted by a name so res
pecied, and so dear to the people of Georgia, as
that of George M. Troup. At the time he made
the speech of which we have given an extract,
he wa- Ch irman of the Military Committee in
the House of Representatives, end was fully
acquainted with the nec< Mtiea of the country.
Though a rigid chtfstructicnlst, he conceded
the power to pass such a 'law as that now in
operation to increase the army of the Confed
erate States.
We hops that. P. esi i ;:f D .vi- , who recom
