Stephens delivered an address t«>- night, to a very crowded audience, composed ot members ofthe Legislature, aud ladies aud gen tlemen of the city aud vicinity. He spoke two hours and fifty minutes, in a calm review of the condition and prospects of the country, aud the late act of Congress. Jie expressed confidence iu our ability to accomplish our independence, and counselled hopefulness and persistence. He du voted much care to the suspension of the writ oi habeas corpus. He admitted that its suspension in a proper way is constitutional, but maintained that the bill as pussed conferred u dangerous and improper power, as it dispensed with the oath un der which arrests should be made, aud left it in , the power ot the President, Secretary of War, aud Commandant oi the Traus-Mississippi Depart ment) aud their agents, to arrest citizens without any oath specifying tho cause ofthe arrest. .He had no fault tu find with the President, or the other officers on whom this extraordinary power is conferred; but abuses of it might be exercised without their knowledge. The main object ofthe bill evidently wus principals having substitutes, from appealing to the courts. He ie viewed the history of the writ of habeas corpns and its object. It was to protect citizens from the grasp of arbitrary power without a hearing. He did not appreciate the necessity for its suspension but admitting it to be necessary, it was done in a way offensive and dangerous to freemen, and- if we do not protest against it, it may be fastened on us as tho policy of the Government. In pro tecting against it w<* are not opposing the Govern ment, but merely exercising a right and proper solicitude for individual liberty. He alluded briefly to the Currency and Military bills. He thought the Currency Bill unwise aud severe. He thought tho Military Bill, if executed, would be fatal, bemuse u would diminish the pro ducing classes to such an extent a-: to interfere with the necessary suppies of food. These were tho-chief topics of his address. Though in ISeTJivnv**. v... exhibited toward the close of his speech much of the old fire aua cm I qnonce fur which he is distinguished. In the Senate this afternoon a resolution was adopted uiutioiiziug the Governor to appoint com missioners to distribute the county rolitf funds when the Inferior Court fail to do their dutv. Mr. Gaulden ottered a resolution expressive m devotion and fidelity to the Confederate cause. Also, a resolution to the effect that Georgia re tain to fierseii that portion of her militia between the ages of 17 and J 8 and 45 and 50. On a mo tion to refer to the Military Committee a spirited discussion arose between Messrs Gaulden and Ramsay. The question was referred. Mr. Gaulden also ottered a resolution cundernu tnfi the suspension ol the writ ot ilabea Uajpu , which was referred to the Judiciary Committee. The Beuute then adjourned. ♦ —Hr— -v ; Tim Late Invasion op the Easter v Dhore.— The successful and daring enterprise ~f < 'upturn Thudeus FiUbugh, m the fifth regiment Virgin ia cavalry, who, with only fifteen men, \ . .ted the lia tern shore of \ irginia and indicted great loss upon the enemy, turns out to have been one of the most heroic aud „ creditable affairs of the war.— With fifteen men this gallant officer, who was in Matthews county on furlough, eroded the Chesa peake bay in two small, open boats, evaded the idockading vessels of the enemy, as well as the mounted pickets, coast-guard, aud disaffected cit izens of Northampton county, landed, abandoned hi? boats, marched nearly twenty miles, captured fifty-four prisoner-, nine cavalry horses, many urm-;, saddles, Ac. lie destroyed thirteen hun dred barrels ol' army stores and provision.;, in eluding bacon, flour, coffee, bread, vinegar, - agar, A<-., Ac.

The orders are dated March 1. All persona between seventeen and eighteen, and for ty live and fifty, are to be at once enrolled. Lamps of instruction are to be established •t suitable points, under the charge of “commanders and enrolling officers and drill masters.” Applications for exemp tion. are to be made in general, to the en rolling officer of the country or district, and shall be suppoited by the affidavit of the party, and otuer testimony under oath. 11 the enrolling officer approve the appli*. cation, he may grant an exemption of six ty days—provided it is not countermanded by the commandant of the conscripts, to whom the certificate of exemption has to be forwarded. In ease both the enrolling officer and the commandant of conscripts reject the application for exemption or detail, there is an appeal to the bureau of conscription and the Secretary of War. Applications of farmers, overseers, etc., for detail, are to be made to the local en rolling officer in writing, with the affida vits ol the party, and other corroborating evidence. If the decision of tho enroll ing officer be favorable to the application, it is forwarded to the commandant of con scripts, who may, if he approve, grant a detail for sixty days. It is then sent to the bureau of conscription. Appl ieationsof persons between forty five aud fifty, “because justice, equity or necessity require the detail, or because their employment is necessary to the pub lic,” are made in the same way as in the ease of farmers. Applications for exemption by clergy men, newspaper employees, apothecaries, physicians, professors, teachers, etc., are made to the local enrolling officer, and his certificate must be approved by the con gressional enrolling officer. Officers and agents of railroads may make application directly to the comman dant of conscripts for the State. The duties of provost guards and clerks, of clerks, guards, agents, and employees in commissary and quartermaster depart ments, in the ordnance department, etc., are to be discharged by persons between eighteen and forty five who are unfit for field duty. Should the invalids between these ages be not sufficiently numerous, then persons are to be assigned to such duties from the reserved military class. The bureau of conscription is directed to proceed to enrol “at once" all of the clerks, agents, guards, employees, etc., just mentioned in the departments referred to Conscripts unfit for duty in the field, and capable of discharging the duties in question, will be recommended by the board of examiners for such positions a« they seem best suited for. Exemptions are granted to judges or justices of any supreme, superior or crim inal court, to clerks, and to sheriffs Justices of the peace, deputy sheriffs, commissioners of the revenue, are not ex empted. —Memphis Appeal.

The Corruption or the Authorities at Washington.— The corrupiH i n at Washington is becoming so great that even 3orae of the Black Republicans themselves are crying out against it. In a debate in Congress, Frank Blair, the abolition member from the St. Louis district, spoke as follows: A more profligate administration than that of the 'Treasury Department . never existed in any country: the country was redolent with the fraud and corruption of the agents. Again and again permits to trade were sold to the highest bidder, and recently in Baltimore •i permit was given to a notorious bloekade luniur, whose vi- scl? had more than once been If Mr. Chase’s friends had thought that those things could not be proved, they would doubtless ha-.voted for art inves tigatiou The President was doubtless satis fied ever-, day Chase remained in the Cabinet to; him to sink deepei in the contempt of ever; honorable man.
