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.

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 : Richmond, 0; t. 21. J.

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.

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 p : • n.-flle.l c:.!i.'d -hirt with a large diamond . in trd immense gold studs, a pair of white • i • ftr.utabion?, uud a handsome black cloth • • ;.t;d. up in extreme military style, lie fitft thong,it he vwear a pair of gaiier 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 : UmU.—l 6:iv, * hi, don’t you think we had 1 better take a ’roj: before going out V Jhn —Y- ,I do thn k we had.

But for a tew c - i-, Virk tu-;.mi, ( -hich u* very well kep- ) j - ' here ty the enemy, t e ; g o such of the woe ded a could a t j, into private houses is as deplorable as it i can be. 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!

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. [From the Sou'hern Recorder ] f > V. Troup—Coiiscrlplion. Ii is generally . iiniM’-d :Ua.' Governor Trout was an orthodox croi.ru -ionkt.

His uniform teaching and example had a consistency which was un impeachable to the day of his death. Wehave thus introduce! t e subject to pre pare our re • tiers for an ix r ■ , from the speech of Gov. Troup, delivered in Congn- , in 1814 on the bill “authorising me President to call into service 80,450 militia, to serve two year?, for the defence of the frontiers.” Iu the course of his remarks, ho said : “I do not mean to say, sir, that the recruit Ing system, with the present high bounty and encouragement, would not eventually fill ou ranks; lam not disposed to r;y that it wouh 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.
