ROPE—THE QUESTION OF INTERVENTION.
The Morning Herald argues from the reports
of M. Mercier’s visit to Richmond, that the be
ginning of the end is not far distant It says
France and England suffer more than neutrals
ever suffered from any contest, and both begin
to regard the war as interminable and atro
cious.
The Paris Patrie says that the visit of the
French Minister to Richmond was entirely po
litical, and that its purport was known to Pres
ident Lincoln.
A despatch, dated Paris, May 5, says : The
letters from the manufacturing districts are in
general unfavorable. 1 he latest accounts from
Lyons state that there was scarcely any busi

LETTER FROM CORINTH.
[Sptclil Correspoddence oi lb* Memphis Appeal.)
Corinth, Saturday, May 24, 1862.
Au almost continuous rain has fallen the last
twenty-four hours, not heavy, but still in such
quantities as seriously to impede locomotion.
The roads in the country must be so saturated
as easily to be cut up by artillery, if not by
transportation wagons, so that in any case there
can scarcely be any general movement on the
part of the enemy for sometime to come. For
us the rain has been opportune, as the acciden
tal showers which had previously fallen had
scarcely sufficed to keep the creeks and branch
es sufficiently supplied for our horses. Now
we have an abundance. In many places, in
deed, as I rode through the camps this morn
ing, I found the banks full and overflowing.
With the return of rain and the opening of
wells throughout the encampment, has also re
turned the health of the army. It was proba
bly never in better vigor or spirits. The res
ponse of the people, also, to Gen. Beauregard’s
request has supplied us abundantly, though 1
am sorry to say at high prices, with vegetables.
This is likewise having a happy and healthy
effect upon the men. The army is, in fact, in
as good condition every way as it possibly can
be, saving only its inactivity, from which the
late advance movement upon the enemy’s lines
has been a great relief.
Of the enemy we hear but little, except that
they continue their reconnoissances and pur
suit after knowledge as near as possible in front,
but for the most part under difficulties. Yes
terday fourteen of them were caught with cow
bells round their necks, apparent ly turned, lika
Nebuchadnezzar, out to “grass.” They would
seem, indeed, to have played their new charac
ter for something, and with considerable sue
cess, for it is said that these same cow bells
have been heard successive nights and at seve
ral places on our right, where they were at last
caught. Yankees in the character of c u ws is
not bad, but it was hardly necessary for them
to put on bells.
We also caught, night before last, an old
school Presbyterian doctor of divinity, from
Illinois. His name is Warren, and at the mo
ment of his capture he was riding alone thro’
a leafy wood meditating how best he would
take a covey of partridges. “If I only had a
net to spring upon them,” thought the Rev.
Dr. to himself, “they would he uiy captives.”
At that momenta Confederate soldier rode up
and he was a captive himself.
Moral.—Doctors of Divinity had better be
preaching the gospel at home than springing
partridges in advance of an army of invasion.
The winter before the war broke out, Dr.
Warren was in New Orleans, and for a time a
guest of the Rev. Doctor Palmer, of the same
•hurch. At that time he seemed to entertain
very different sentiments from those he is now
fighting for. At all events he expressed him
self as decidedly opposed to coerciua.
“lam surprised, therefore,”said Dr. Palmer,
“to find you in the Federal army.”
“I am not surprised to find you in the Con
federate army,” was the cool and ready reply.
I understand that the Rev. partridge hunter
is to be exchanged for the Rev. Dr. Wither
spoon, captured some time since while in at-
ten 'ance upon the sick and wounded, and, as
a non-combatant, unjustly held. It is to be
hoped, however, that Dr. Palmer, will give his
old acquaintance a good “pray” before he
leaves, adding the appropriate adage, that, if
inclined to limit partridges, he should hunt
them in his own laud. II. P.
propo-ititions, l>y pretending that U ongre
no power to raise any other than a militia ar
my ; that is, no power to rai-e an army, ex
cept by calling nut tho militia, whether by
dralt or in massed bodies. Suppose this were
so, still the organizing power renders it incum
bent on Congress to prescribe the basts, that
is, the material on which, and out of which,
the appointing power is to l»e exercised. In
truth, tho organizing power is a precedent
limitation on the appointing power. Now,
wiiat a ridiculous business it is, to confound
the appointing with the organizing power!
And, how still more preposterous it is to derive
the organizing from the appointing power!
Nay, it is worse than preposterous,—it is an
outrageous violation of the Constitution and a
usurpation. Gov. Brown’s argument is, that
the militia must be trainod, and he cannot train
without officers, and the State has a right to
appoint the officers; therefore, as to them, he
will organize the militia, between the ages ot
eigeteen and thirty-five.
But, Congress has power, both in “raising
armies” and “in organizing the militia,” to
enact at what ages men shall be members or
soldiers of the Confederate army, and, by ne
cessary inference and proper legal mterpetra-
tion, at what ages they shall he loft to consti
tute the militia; and, on this residual aud out
of these reserves, the State is to make the ap
pointment of officers.
That the distinction between a regular army
and the militia is clearly recognized by the
Constitution, is confirmed by the first sentence
of Section 2 of Art. 1, C. S. Constitution—
“The President shall he Commander in Chief
of the Army and Navy of the Confederate States,
and of the militia of the several States, when
called into the actual service of the Confede
rate States.”
It has been justly said that “the power to
declaic war” would be a mere brutumfultnen,
without the power to raise armies. According
ly the sovereign powers nave not said how.
exclusively, Congress shall raise armies, whe
ther by voluntary enlistment or involuntary
and compulsory enrollment; the sovereigns
(which are the Stale.-,, .ve left this to tha dis
cretion of Congress. In pursuance of this pow
er, Congress has raised armies in great part,
during the present revolution, by volunteering ;
whether it has called out the militia in any in
stance, the writer does not know; certainly the
reliable army hitherto has not been a militia
one. At length Congress has seen fit to “raise
armies” by an Act lor involuntary enrollment
If the militia had been ordered out instead of
the enrollment, whether in a body or by draft,
would they not have been compelled to go ?—
In view, however, of the fact that the Confed
erate Congiess has full power as claimed, in
respect to the premises under discussion, in tho
so called Conscript law, it is, then fore evident
in the South. Even in South Carolina, where
the doctrine was practically exercised, there
was a large and respectable party opposed to
it, chiefly, on the ground, that it was unfair,
inconsistent, and subversive of the ends of
government, for a State to nullify a law of Con
gress and still remain in the Union. This is
not the place to show how this objection was
met But, the party opposed to the Nullifiers,
by one name called Secessionists, contended
that, if the great primordial principles and
safeguards of liberty and the constitution were
heinously and pcisistently violated, then, se
cession would be the proper remedy. Certain
it is, the South has since practically acted on
th* doctrine of the South Carolina Secession
ists. Nevertheless, as Nullification, even by
the State, has never been a fully accredited
doctrine. Gov. Brown, in his nullifying-mili-
tary-order-laic, has not only usurped an attri
bute of State sovereignty, but indeed, a doubt
ful attribute of Stat- sovereignty.
Mr. Calhoun says that the States cannot del
egate the power to nullify without an entire
surrender of their sovereignty ; therefore, Gov.
Brown in arrogating to himself the power to
nullify, has clutched at the sovereignty—in a
word he has most evidently and most emphati
cally assumed himself to be the State.
But to what a flood of evils, must this per
nicious doctrine, that a Governor can nullify
an act of Congress, lead ? If a Governor is the
Sovereign Judge, an arbiter on the constitu
tionality of one act of Congress, and can, when
he thinks it unconstitutional, pass an order to
nullify, the consequence is inev'table, that he
can nullify any act of Congress, on any sub
ject, and whenever he thinks proper. Then,
we shall have Governors, perhaps, in every
State, nullifying, and even going still farther,
namely, declaring States (so-called) out of the
Confederacy ; for, if one Governor may nullify,
all may do so; and no limit to the matter can
he seen -and the Governors then being the
States, they can do what they please. Such a
condition and scene of chaotic, anarchical, and
despotic political, legislative and governmental
“confusion worse confounded,” as would arise,
must be indiseribahle.

Correspondence ot the Daily Argus.
Corintii, May 23, 6 P. M.
This is the last place upon the face of the
earth that your correspondent would like to
make his abiding place. Cairo is not a circum
stance to Corinth. Unless a civilian has a
pass from the Commanding General down to
the veriest Orderly Sergeant, it is impossible
for him to circulate. The guards stationed
around the town have positive orders from Gen.
Bragg to arrest everybody. A few days ago

MEMOIR OF GEN. T. J. JACKSON.
A friend of this illustrious warrior, whose
deeds are now resounding from one end of the
Confederate States to the other, has enabled us
to give the following sketch of his life, previ
ously to bis acceptance of a command in the
Confederate army. Since that time it has be
come a part of the history of the country.
He was born in Clarksburg, in the county
of Lewis, in the year 1825, of highly respect
able parents, both of whom died during his in
fancy, leaving him without a cent in the world.
During his early childhood he resided with an
uncle, whose name we did not hear, and at the
age of sixteen he had conducted himself so
well, and produced such a favorable impression
of his energy and integrity that he was chosen
constable of the county. In the year 1842 a
cadet had been appointed from his district to
West Point, who declined to go. Jackson im
mediately conceived the idea of filling the place
he had left vacant Our informant says, that
one day, while it was raining exceedingly hard,
he burst suddenly into his office, the rain
streaming from his clothes, and told him that
he must give him a letter to Mr. Hayes, at that
time representative in Congress from the Lewis
district Upon being asked what be wanted
with such a letter, he replied, he wished to go
to West Point His friend pointed out to him
what he regarded as the absurdity of such a
scheme, seeing that he « as very deficient in
education, and would, therefore, probably not
be able to stand the preliminary examination.
He acknowledged the alleged deficiency, but
said he was sure he had the perseverance to
make it up. He obtained the letter w thout
further difficulty, and that very evening bor
rowed a horse, under promise to send him back
by a boy whom he carried with him, and rode
to Clarksburg to take the stage. It had been
raining for weeks as it can only rain *n that
country, the roads were muddy as they are
muddy nowhere else that ever we heard of.—
Jackson arrived in time; but on account of the
muddy roads, the Postmaster had furnished
the mail an hour before time, and the stage
was already gone. With characteristic fideli
ty to his promise, Jackson sent the horse back,
instead of riding him on in pursuit of the stage,
and took it on foot through the mud. After a
run of thirteen miles, he overtook the stage,
jumped in, went to Washington all muddy as he
was, presented his letter to Mr. Hayes, and was
by him, in turn, presented to the Secretary of
War, who gave him the coveted warrant. At
West Point he severely felt the want of early
education; but his indomitable spirit over
came every obstacle. He was never marked
for a demerit during his four years, and gradu
ated with the class of 1846, the same in which
McClellan graduated.
The young graduate was ordered off imme
diately, with the rank of Second Lieutenant,
to join General Taylor’s army in the Valley of
the Rio Grande. He arrived after the battles
of Palo Alto, Itesaca de la Palma, and Monte
rey, and before that of Buena Vista was order
ed to join General Scott before VeraCruz. At
the siege of this latter place he commanded a
battery, and attracted attention by his coolness
and the judgment with which he worked his
guns, and was promoted First Lieutenant For
his conduct at Cerro Gordo, he was brevetted
Captain. He was in all Scott's battles to the
city of Mexico, and behaved so well that he
was brevetted Major for Ins services. On one
occasion lie commanded a battery upon which
the fire of the enemy was so severe that more
than half his troops, who were raw, inconti
nently ran. Jackson was advised to retreat;
but he said if he could get a reinfoicement of ,, eoRGIA, DOOLY COUNTY :

ask your particular attention to the articles in
the Times of last Saturday and again of yes*
lerday. They have manifestly been inspired
from the same source as the speech. They will
show you what is brewing in the public mind
of England, or rather in its belly, this still less
exorable customer. The Manchester party,
who keep in the present Ministry, have been
from the outset the sole English bar to action.
But they seem now submerged by the swelling
distress, for which public contributions are
solicited in London, to be followed perhaps in
the House by a claim upon the sinking treasu
ry. And then to grant this claim would be to
open starving Ireland, who is reduced, as usual,
to knock at the door. In such a situation you
will easily conceive that, in order to seize the
first pretext for intervention, there remain but
to obtain the co-operation or consent of France.
And thus you could yourself explain the late
demonstration.
1 may be told that one or two of the London
journals plead your cause, and must thus im
ply a certain English public in your favor.—
But can it be that these things impose upon
Americans? One of the said champions is the
Manchester organ, and only mark its silence
since Mr. Gladstone has spoken! The other i->
the London News, a paper of kindred politics,
and, above all, a commercial rival of the Times.
YVhatsoerer is espoused by the oligarchial lead
ing journal is decried by the radical competi
tor, which would be leader.
Tuis is the plain truth about your two sole
organs in the English press. No ; if England
were to morrow polled, by ballot, on the ques
tion, l would slake my existence that the North
would not have twelve votes.
Do not, therefore, inquire about the South
ern Commissioners, what may be their intrig
ues, or the dispositions of England. All that
is decided, cut and dried. Keep the care ot your
government and |>eople to two things—that
they maintain their present advantage and en-
ergy, or in case of reverse, keep on good terms
with France. Either of these positions, and these
alone, can save them from what they would
h .ve months ago to meet but for Napoleon.
SPLENDID STRATEGY.
The operations of General Jackson, which
resulted in the capture of Winchester, formed
a series ol movements and combinations which
have not been surpassed since the days of Na
poleon. Jackson was at Woodstock. Banks,
with his main body, was at Strasburg, where
he was strongly entrenching himself. He had
a strong detachment at Front Royal. Jackson
made a demonstration against Strasburg with
5,000 men, who advanced half way to that point
from Woodstock. With the rest of his army
he suddenly turned to his right, fell upon the
enemy at Front Royal, utterly routed him and
took two regiments. Banks, at Strasburg, hear
ing the firing stampeded for Winchester.—
Jackson, however, was too quick for him. He
immediately set out from FrontRoyal, suspect
ing w hat would happen, to cut Banks off from
Winchester. The parties met at the junction
of the roads at btephensburg. Jackson cut
the column in two. Part fled to Winchester
and part returned towards Strasburg. Jack-
son followed that portion that fled to Winches
ter, took the town and 2,000 prisoners and sent
Stewart in pursuit of the fugitives in the direc
tion cf Martinsburg. The part that fell back
on Strasburg has not been heard from ; but if
it does not go over the mountains, doubtless
care will be taken of it by the column of 5,000
already mentioned as deployed between Wood-
stock and Strasburg.
Let the reader look at the map, and mark
the beautv of these splendid manoeuvres. They
are truly Napoleonic.— Rich. Dis.
TIIE POTOMAC CROSSED.
Intelligence received in official quarters yes
terday leaves no doubt but that the line of the
Potomac has at last been crossed, and that
portion of General Jackson’s command is now
at Williamsport, in Maryland. The army hav
mg been once mobilized is in a condition to

timore there were recently but three thousand

without from fifteen to twenty permits. A
civilian from Memphis might have been seen
rolling sugar barrels and unloading the cars
to-day. If such rigid orders hail been put forth
and executed all along, to-day our army would
not have been encamped in the corner ef the
State of Mississippi.
The Commanding General, 1 believe, has is
sued orders positively refusing to allow any
newspaper correspondents within the lines.—
Tho Appeal’s correspondent “Sparta” has, 1
understand, gotten the reporters in bad odor
with all the Generals, and orders have been
issued for them to get outside the lines and
stay out “Sparta” has all tho requisites of a
good reporter, but his “cheek” has brought
down upou us all the ill will of the Generals.
“Sparta" has one other little faulL In no let
ter he has ever written from here has he ever
mentioned the Tennessee troops. He is eter
nally talking about the Louisiana troops, and
if one were not better posted his reports would
convey the idea that tho entire army of the
South consisted of Louisianans.
I can only state what is every day written to
the press. A battle may be fought here, and
it may not. Our army is in a position and
condition to fight, and it is waiting for the
enemy to attack. Newspaper men have no
right to express their ideas about military mat
ters, but there are some things they are not
entirely ignorant of. This waiting and craw
fishing of the Southern army has dampened our
ardor a little.
It cannot be denied that the private, the poor
soldier who stands on guard thoough rain and
sunshine, becomes indifferent and loses his am
bition. It has been raining here all day, ren
dering it very disagreeable. Skirmishing is
going on daily, and from the manoeuvring of
Ilalleck, he evidently does not intend to fight
Beauregard at Corinth. On Wenesday last fif
teen steamboat loads of troops, and three boat
loads of horses, passed Henderson, going down
the Tennessee river. This means something,
and smacks considerably of an evacuation by
the Federals.
Halleck is covering his retreat admirably.
On Thursday Generals Price and Van Dorn
manueuvered to “bag” Pope’s division, and to
to their surprise when they thought they had
Popr surrounded, the bird had flown. A few
pickets was all our forces secured. The failure
to take Pope’s command, I understand, is at
tributed to a new spaper reporter, who, it is
said, divulged the whole plan of our attack.
This may be so, and it may not.
A newspaper reporter asked Gen. Bragg what
was the extent of damage done at Farmington
a few days since. To which he replied, “I will
make my report to Gen. Beauregard.” Your
correspondent has to tender his thanks to Ma
jor B. B. Waddell, of Gen. Beauregard’s staff,
for favors. The Memphis people, who have
daily had the big fight raging at Corinth, had
just as well subside, for the chances to-day are
less in favor of a battle than they were twenty
days ag*. You need not be disappointed if the
two armies never fight at Corinth. Such is the
impression here. H. L. P.
STONEWALL IN MARYLAND.
It was «urrently reported in town yesterday
that Jackson had crossed the Potomac and was
now in Williamsport, Maryland. Although we
could not learn that official despatches had
been received to that effect, still the information
was very geneially believed and we deem it
more probable than otherwise. Williams
port is on the river above Harper’s Ferry, six
miles from Hagerstown and on the Frederick-
town turnpike. This rapid advance of Jackson
has caused great consternation in Washington,
and it is said to have made the diversion in Mc
Clellan's plans spoken of elsewhere. We hope
to be able to chronicle Jackson’s entrance into
Fredericktown, in which place he will meet with
powerful additions to his army.
We are told that seventy thousand Maryland
ers stand ready at a moment’s warning to join
the standard of the old hero. Many of these
men have arms hidden, and those who have
none are ready to fight with scythes, sticks or
brickbats. It must be a happy thought that
deliverance is so nigh. The fact that Jackson
is the first man to lead an army into Maryland
will stamp him as the hero of the war, and will
win for him the lasting gratitude of a people
who have long suffered from tyrannous rale*

He accepted a professorship at the Military In
stitute, where he continued until the secession
ofY'irginia. In height, he is about six feet,
with a weight of about one hundred and eighty,
lie is quite as remarkable for bis moral as he
has proved himself to be for his fighting quali
ties—being a perfectly conscientious man, just
in all his ways, and irreproachable in his deal
ings with his (ellow men. It is said he is a
fatalist, as Napoleon was, and has no fear that
he can be killed before his time conies. He is
as calm in the midst of a hurricane of bullets
as lie was in the pew of his church at Lexington,
when he was professor of the Institute. He
appears to be a man of almost superhuman en
durance. Neither heat nor cold makes the
slightest impression upon him. He cares noth
ing for good quai ters and dainty fare. YVrapp-
ed in his blanket, he throws himself down on
the ground anywhere, and sleeps as soundly as
though he were in a palace. He lives as the
soldiers live, and endures all the fatigue and all
the suffering that they endure. His vigilance
is something marvellous. He never seems to
sleep, and lets nothing pass without his person
al scrutiny. He can neither be caught napping
nor whipped when he is wide awake. T| *
rapidity of his marches is something porten-
tious. He is heard of by the enemy at on*
point, and before they can make up their
minds to follow him he is off at another. His
men have little baggage, and he moves, as near
ly as he can, without encumbrance. lie keeps
so constantly in motion that he never has a
sick list, and no need of hospitals. In these
habits, and in a will as determined as that of
Julius Otcsar, are read the secret of his great
success. His men adore him, because he re
quires them to do nothing which he does not
do himself, because he constantly leads them
to victory, and becauso they see he is a great
soldier.
