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. 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.

While the language of the tatute does not em brace ordained local ministers, not in charge of a $3.50 Per Month. 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.

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 port the ease, with all the relevant facts, to the A\ ar Department, for instructions ;is to the proper answer to be made to sueh writ. * Rich.

Brevity the soul of Wit.— So it is ot the telegraph, which recently con veyed the following message Cincin nati merchant from his partner, who was on his tfay to Circleville with a bundle of notes for redemption. “Circleville Bank gone to li—ll, 1 will be there to-morrow.’* 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. ♦- - if erel Currency a vr> Resource.— In reply to the assertion of one of the rad icals, “that because the rebel currency is •depreciated, therefore the armed resis tance of the rebels must soon cease ” Mr. Nesmith, Senator froru Oregon, recently said in the United States Senate: Mv ith their present resouices they have the ability to resist out military power for f ire next ten years, and, indeed, to pro tract the war indefinitely/’ fripeeial to the Advertiser Y Register.] Senatobia, March 18.—The Chicago Times of ibe 15th, received here, report great excitement in Kentucky.
