Personal.—c are pleased to see in our
city Col. L. Q. 0. Lamar, of Mississippi. It is
well known that Col. Lamr.r has recently re
turned from Europe, whither he went as Con
federate States Corumis loner to the Court of
Russia. He (ltd not reach that destination,
hut his stay in Europe was sufficient to ac
quaint him with the sentiment of its people
in reference to}the revolution on this side the
ocean. He has recently spoken at .Milledge
ville and Macon on this interesting subject
anii we trust he may be induced to give the
people of Columbus an opportunity of hearing
his views.
[Special Cdirespoudence of the Times. {
iiforgia Legislature--! ailed Session.
MiLupDcriville, March lrf, p. m., 1864.
The consideration of the resolutions on the
habeas corpus ijict was resumed. Col. Wright,
of‘Cow eta, hud the floor, hut being too unable
to appear in lijp seat. Col. Lawson of Put
nam. proceeded to an argument against the
resolutions. He maintained that the act dm
not deprive the citizen of arrest by warrant,
and according! to the usual constructions of
law.does, not therefore rest iu the President,
Secretary of War, &e. Judicial powers, ns
maintained offences, cannot often come to the
knowledge of t hose officials without evidence,
and it is therefore an assumption to say that
arrests are intended to be made without war
rants. The act provides that parties shall be
detained for trial. How is a man who has
committed no pifence to lie detained ? He did
not approve the bill in all its features, but
defended its constitutionality, 0.1 which we
are called to vote. He replied to the statc.-
ment of Mr. Linton Stephens, that Washington
had never used the arbitrary power intrusted
to him, by shewing that he had ordered dis
loyal citizens 10 take the oath of allegiance or
be banished. If our fathers trusted Wash
ington, who was at that time little more than
a brave young adventurer, why nil Ibis alarm
about trusting our experienced, and wise and
tried Executive? He argued against the pro
priety and taste of Legislative action on the
subject, which belonged properly to the courts.
Mr. Lawson is a young man of decided i
ability, and nlrade the 1 >est speech that the j
discussion elicited on that the of the qne**- j
turn. He seldom appear j on the floor, and i
commands marked attention He is in feeble j
health, and declared his groat reluctance to j
make an effort to speak.
Mr. Barnes, of Richmond, followed in sup- j
port OI FTTi’ j7*Wlii , - ~ 'a* -V. „
amended. Reference had been made to the
late position qf the paper with which he is
connected —the Conatilullou-al.e.i —which, in his
absence, had deprecated the agitation of the
question, lie would speak for himself. He
was ready to make any sacrifice for the cause
—would, it' necessary, be willing to cast lots
for the aerilliee of any number necessary to
secure independence —but he believed dan
gerous conflicts could only come by tempor
ising. 'The danger is that, by a silent acqui
eseace in irritating legislation, we rouse spir
ited citizens to resistance. He alluded to
high authorities for declaring that the right
of habeas corpus should only be suspended
when judges become corrupt. He alluded
eloquently to the origin of the sacred rigid of
aiagna charter, and reviewed the discussion
on the suspension of the writ in the United
► •Itates Oongfe-s in IftoT.
We ureadvised t . suspend our liberties in order
k-, be free, jjdm -Randolph had said that this
w:te like going to jail in order to be free. We
u.G' - cripturai authority not to do evil, that good
cuay c..;ne. He thought the lute law wo- the otl
?q>rins; of an intemperate zeal, and that »ye ought
Oo place on record our calm and (liberate jadgro-en
against it. Mr. Barnes made a very creditable
speech. His allusions to the old B u m- of Eng
land, who had given us the - icre-.t right of the
Tiahta* in terms of such glowing eloquen.ee.
He urged the House, if they would adopt a policy
be-t . s.Lculai. ito commend respect abroad and
sc-i c., .- cocN.-.luK-nt and harmony at home, to purs
*ne re - lot; -n-.
Mr. Hill, >d Dougherty, followed in : up| .it >-f
Mr. Moore’s substitute, lie deplore,l th -Lit or
to arise from distracting- is'iies, and a-T. . ue i a
cordial and barxnoneous support of the ji.uiey ~f
the govermnent.
Mr. Moore, of Thoma-s. spoke fcriefir in scppirt
of liis resolutioc •- —thought we should avoid the
expression of Legislative opinion or. a judicial
question, and believed that such expression would
do much harm, and no possible good.
Mr. Dußosa maintained that if 1' our laty to
speak when public liberty is endangered, and ar
gued against the suspension of the writ, a? lone
by Congress, as a dangerous and unconstitutional
interference vrith the right of the citizen. At ihe
conclusion of his speech, the House adjourned un

church or synagogue, I was ©f opinion they came
within the spirit of the act. as many of them spend
a considerable- portion of (heir time in ministerial
service ; and I, therefore, so construed fhe-Uitnte
as to exempt them
It will he seen by the letter of Gen. Wayne, that
his order to Col. Pottle wav never submitted t>- uiv
approval. I will add that l never beard of th>*
order till complaint was made to me ahvot it, on
the night of th§ 15th inst., and on the next morn
ing I directed the Adjutant and Inspector General
to issue the General Order, of which I enclose a
copy, which h.ul been done before F had auy no
tice of your resoiutiens, which ware passed the day
after the order had issued.
So far from having any intention to place a
c -n-truetion upon the statute, whieh would sub
ject the miuisters known as Circuit preachers and
Eiders of the Methodist church, to military duty,
I had on all occasions, when Hie subject men
tinned to me. stated that they were exempt.
And I now here state that I have constantly ex
pressed my opposition to the passage of auyjiet of
Congress or the State Legislature, which subjects
the ordained ministers of any religious denomina
tion to military service. Their avocation is one
of peace and u -t of war. and I think that no Leg
islature should forget the command—" Touch not
mine aunninted.” JOSEPH E. BROWN.
The House then resumed the consideration of
resolutions upon the suspension of the writ <>t k i
e;is corpva.
Mr. Hardeman addressed the House in favor of
Mr. Moore’s substitute, aud spoke with much feel
ing and force again -t (he agitation of this question
by the Legislature.
Judge Stephen: followed in^.conclusion iu ;t
searching review of the positions and sentiments
of the different speakers, and closed with some
vary pungent ridicule of the resolutions of Mr.
Moore, which he declared to be a cat in the meal
tub, ingeniously expressing an opinion in defence
of the act, while they did not pretend to do so.
At the close of hi speech, Mr. Brock called the
previous question, aud the vote was on*the substi
tute of Mr. Moore. The ayes and nays wt ie
called, and were, ayes (15 : nays 71. .So it was
lost.
The vote was then taken on the resolutions of

The Suspension of the Habeas
Oorpus-The Extent of Power Claim
ed by the Government.—Tbe instruc
tion* of the War Department with res
peet to proceedings under the law making
a limited or quasi suspension of the habe
c, remo , ve pounds of clamor,
and propose what may be considered as a
very moderate execution of the law. Par
ties arrested, in the cases specified in the
law, will not be denied a trial, but their
case will be investigated by commissioners,
who will be appointed for these duties in
the different military departments. In
formation of all arrests under the law will
be given by the department commander
as soon as practicable after they are made,,
and the commissioner will proceed to in
vestigate the same. If, upon examina*
tion, a reasonable and probable cause for
detention does not appear, he will certify
the fact to the general or other officer iu
command, who will immediately discharge
the prisoner from arrest. But if a rea
sonable and probable cause does appear,
the commissioner will forthwith transmit
to the War Department a copy of the evi
dence taken in the ease, with his opinion
thereon, for instructions, and meanwhile
the prisoner will remain in custody.
In cases where person* not belonging to
the military service shall appiy to any
court or officer in the Confederate States
for a writ ot habeas corpus , it will be the
duty of the officer having the command
or custody ot sueh person lorthwith tore

a large additiou is now being made to the

The Spring Campaign Opens Dia-
GOURAGINGLY.— The New York HrmUi,
of the 2d, says:
i iu* developments of tlie spring cam-*
paigit go far ar<* not altogether encoura
ging. {’resident Lincoln’s experimental
Ilorida expedition to begin with, has
turned out one ot the most stupid and in
excusable blunders oi’the war. Next, the
return to funnel Hill of the advanced
forces of General Thomas from the moun
tain gorge iu front of Dalton, Georgia, is
explained as due to their discovery that
Joe Johnston, in superior strength, had
massed his army at Dalton, and was rea
dy for a general battle, and we were not.
Next, the early retreat of Gen. Smith's
cavalry expedition from Northern Missis
sippiback into Tennessee, pursued by*
Ihe enemy, does not look well. Next, the
Sherman Alabama expedition, by the fail
ure of Gen. Smith to effect a junction
with it, is we fear, placed in a position
somewhat critical; and next, as we hear
nothing whatever from Mobile, we must
* cwxflixda that Admiral Farragut has found
that ne can do nothing in seven feet wa-
ter with vessels drawing fourteen feet.
I his is not a very interesting picture
tor the opening of the spring campaign.
