AU. huMToa: We will call your attention to one . rl y one more of the re' ent decisions ot the Supreme Court, wh.ch we believe to be against princi p'.e, precedent, aid authority It I* the decision that the conscript ofLcer may take a man under recogni zance for/rfong cat of the custody of the civil authori es and piece him in the military service of the coun try la’. It is oontrary to the practice of the Confederate Government 2d. It is contrary to the letter and spirit of the Con federate Army Regulations, and the Statute® of the State oi Georgia. It is subversive of th* rights of the State under the Conatitation, and place* the civil in subordination to the military power. If we sustain theae three points,we shall bare shown to a demons'rat ion, that tbe decision complained oi is a grave and dangerous error. W hen a soldier kill®.a citizen or commjla a depre dation upon him amounting to crime, the civil author tieshave invariably claimed him lor trial, and tbe M.ii’arr authorities have a® invariably respected the claim The latter have even gone leiiber, and in some instances'where both were soldiers, have voluntarily turned the offender over to the ervii authorities for trial and punishment. This was done in the case ot Stokes who killed Myers in Virginia. Both were soldiers belonging to a Georgia Regiment, and Myers was killed while discharging bis duty as a sentinel. But wo are not left entirely to custom to establish thia proposition. It is provided for by the Army Regulations of the Confederate States. Regulation No. 38 says : When any commisaioned officer or soldier shall be accus »d of a capital crime or of baring used violence or committed any offence against tbe penton or property of any citizen of any of the Confederate States, such an is punishable by the known law® of the land, the Commanding officer and officers of every Regiment, troop or company to whicn tbe f»er#on or person® so accused shall belong, are hereby required upon application duly made by, or in bt-balf of the oarty or parties injured to use their UA most endeavors to deliver over such accused perwoti or persons to the civil magistrate, and likewise to be aiding and assisting tbe officers of justice in appre hending and securing the person or persons so accused, in order to bring him or them to trial. Il any com manding officer or officers shall wilfully neglect, or •hall retuse upon tbe application aforesaid, to deliver over such accused person or persons to the civil mag istrate or to ba aiding anlhtMuting to tbe officers of justice in apprehending such person or persons, the officer or officers »o offend lug shall be cashiered.” In the case before tbe Supreme Court, tbe two men were mustered into Confederate service, and were ter • ving in the reserves at Anderson. They were arrested by lawful warrant and due pro cess of law for a felony alleged to be committed ‘'against the dignity of the State of Qworgia.” They delivered up by the “commanding officer “to tbe civil Magistrate. They save bond and surety to ap pear at the next team of the Superior Court of the county to answer any indictment that might be found • raiust them. Before the next sitting of said Supe rior Court, they were arrested by the order of the oomtnandiug officer of tbe command from whence they were delivered up to be again placed in the tanks. The Supreme Court determined that this arrest was legal; and notwithstanding they ore legally in the custody of the civil Magistrate, they could be forced back into military service before trial, and even before indictment found- It must be borne in mind that th* real parties before tbe Court were not the offenders nor their sureties, but they were the majesty of the law* of Georgia on the one band, and Confederate military service on the other. The superior Confede rate military authority had by the regulation above inserted, bowed with deference to the laws of Georgia. The Supreme Court, Jfor some reason, saw proper to award, to tbe former what ita law* and regulations disclaimed. it may be argued that these men, being out under bond, could render military service, and appear to be tried too. Tnat this la net an impossibility we admit, but tbe object of the law is to secure a certain and speedy trial The probability that this would be done in the case of men who are in military service, and subject at any time to marching orders is very re mote. Therefore the majesty of tbe civil law required that those men should remain in he.r custody.- Upon a legal arrest for crime tbe prisoner must enter into a recognizance, or go to jail. If he gives bond, his sure ties are bis Jailors. If he fails to do this, the appoint ed prison keeper of the county is his jailor. In either event he has a jailor. Whether in or out of jail after legal arrest, in contemplation of law he i» in jail. *- Hence, the Supreme Court have given their sanction to the right of » conscript officer to recruit among criminals in our jails. This might be well if no one had rights to be affected but the criminals. But there stands to confront tbe conscript officer, an outraged community, and the sovereignty of the Slate of Geor gia. Notwithstanding the concession (if IL may be so called) by the Confederate military authorities, we ad mit it is in tbe power of the State ot Georgia, by prop er legislation, to yield her right to try and punish the violators of her criminal laws. The power to pardon, as well as other attributes of her sovereignty, give her that power. But tbequestions are : Ist Bas she dene so; and 2d, ought she to do so ? We assert that so far from making such a concession, she has, by solemn legislation, asserted her right to retain, try and punish all persons under charge of felony. Tbe act of 15th December, 1862, says: “That in . any and all cases, where the principal or principals, to any reeognixances, requiring him or them to appear and answer to a charge of not, or any other offense than a felony, has or have heretofore entered, or shall hereafter enter the military service of the Con federate Mates, or ot th s State of Georgia, during, the existing war between the United States and the Con federate States, and this fact shall be found by a jury, n ary case where the principal shall foil to appear, the Judge before whom the fact is found, may, in hie dis cretion, enter an exhoneration on such recognizance, as to the surety or sureties thereto; and tbe aurety or sureties shall pay the cost of the proceeding.” This act is as explicit as language can make it, that in felonies Georgia Insists on her rights, and in offences tans than Monies, leaves it to tbe discretion of the ' Judge. This was the Stale of onr legislation at the date of the decision of tbe Circuit Judge, and there has been no subsequent legislation to the contrary. By the Act of March Bth, 186 f , it .a made tbe duty of the judge presiding, it a person sbaii fail to appear by reason of being in the military service, to corntrnue tbe caw, and that no bond hereafter or heretofore shall aland forfeited, if it be made to appear that the party i® in military service. Inks act doesnot declare the right of tbe military authorities to conscript and place in th* service her citizens lawfu’ly accused of felony, aud by force of military power to take them out of lawful custody, it simply provides foe protection to sureties in case such persons may by any means have found themselves “mustered in.” We think, then, we have clearly established our first two propositions and* will proceed to discuss the third, together with the inquiry whether Georgia ought ever to make such a concession to the military authorities * The statement iof that proposition is its proof. Certainly ao sane man will contend that under tbe war making power the Confederate Government can step into the States and suppress the enforcement of their p*nal statutes. This is virtually a destruction Gt the reserved rights of tbe States, aud the demal of their sovereignty It is declaring marshal law, and a suspension of the habeas corpus at the same time. An argument in favor of the judgment of tbe Supreme Court is, that persons will commit crime to keep out of tbe army. If this, for the sake off argument, is admitted, it is only an argument olt he nature. inctwn-enttnrt. It rests upon no de cured law. It is applying what the Supreme Court may think a good policy to uproot the very iounda* tious of the law. What right has that tribunal to substitute their apprehensions for law ? If they are wall grounded the remedy must be by the law making and not by th® law expounding department. This can be easily done ? The legislature can restrict the right of the State to certain grade® of crime, or they may leave the whole matter in the discretion of the circuit Judges, or of the Supreme Court by appeal, if thought better. Certain, ly, that power has done neither, except in cases lege than felony. But let us exam ine this apprehension a little. A man may commit a misdemeanor, or may even run the risk ol the penitentiary' for exemption from tbe perils of tbe battle held. But will he cotnmit willful murder or arson? Will he even ‘commit those crimes of great moral turpitude such as rape and burglary ? He can but die on the battle field—that is an honorable death, and redacts eternal credit upon his posterity. With this in one scale, and a capital crime in the other, a crime which links his name forever with infamy, will he not chose military service ? But sup. pose there are depraved spirits that will make a choice so infamous, what ought be done with them ? They should be banded,over at once to the civil authorities to receive a fair and speedy trial and proper pun ish meat, and not be permitted to expiate & horrible crime by an honorable service and perhaps an houo cable death. Ws assert that the prevalence of such a doc trine is an initatian to crime. If men know that the only certain punishment for murder, arson and rob bery is military service, many will not hesitate to as sassinate an enemy, or to carry the burglar's dark lan tern and false keys. It is plain that an outraged com munity should have tbe right tn try and punish those who make war against life, liberty, and property.— Sup?? - * te »h* rity ol Mteeon, one of your best and most virtuous citizens should be shot down in cold bloo<f, without justification, or aggravation by some desperado, and the commandant of conscripts was to take him from the civil authorities, and send him to the army to fight, and perhaps by the side of the son of the man whom be has murdered—or that some fiend, from motives of revenge, or gain , should place the incendiary’s torch to your city, and burn down a large portion of it, thereby endangering life* and turning out the tenants into the open air to live ? Would* placing the guilty person in the army satisfy the demands of an outraged people and a vio lated law V Most assuredly not. And yet such a right exists in the military author? ties by the judgment of the Supreme Court. True, the decision was not made in such a case, but if it is law in one felony, it is law in another—the grades of moral turpitude make no difference. The public at tention being almost entirely directed to the war, and war having produced its usual amount ot demoraliza tion, the commission es crimes have increased. To prevent and punish such, the last legislature has re quired the holding of special criminal cou ria. What good can these courts do if subject to the interruption of conscript, officers? Our legislation is adverse to the exercise of such a right by the military authorities. There is no law or principle to smtt&in it, and it is “shocking to tbe moral sens.- ” It remains to be seen on what ground the Supreme Court places it. LEX. [From the Richmond Sentinel.] Lessous from Other Daye. "They are driven to the wall treat them as criminals craving mercy.” This was the coarse counsel of a New York journal to Abraham Lin coln, as he set out to meet our commissioner!?. We all know how well he acted hia part, in ac cordance with the admonition. Who expected to find him imbued with a loftier spirit than had thus hissed its, paltry venom, byway of advice? Can any one have contemplated r single phrase of the gross presumption which governs the mo tives, as it guides the movements of our foes, without being persuaded that they are a people radically different from ouraelves ? He and his JidiM Ackatee came with a blustering “woe to,” as their commentary on the aim of those who rep resented “Peace on eartll—good will to men.” It was a Frankesstein meeting a good Samaritan ; it was the ruat caelum of a Maranatha, to answer the Pox vobiicum of a Paul—a tae victix to blur ato Deum ; a Bombastes Furioso, face to face with Humanity. And, in all this, it was thoroughlv characteristic and .thoroughly representative. “They are driven to the wall—treat them as criminals craving mercy.” Hectoring, insolent words, worthy of their source! Worthy of the doom that awaits them, as, in all time it has awaited, and fallen Jheavily on similar bravado. It was so, in effect, that the London Merc’irv (long sixiee defunct,) spoke to George 111, a few months before be had to treat with his “rebel criminals” as honored equals. It was precisely so that his Imperial master spoke to the tyrant Gealer, in January of 180 S ; and yet Switzerland has sur vived the threat until this hour; a threat far less audacious in the mighty voice of German? under the circumstances of the Confederated Swiss, than it it in theiJwseon of the day to us. It was al most exactly so, that Francis of Carrara spoke to the Genoese, to crash, forever, the “wicked re publicans of Venice”—“shattered, hopeless and at our mercy.” There is something, significantly applicable to current events, in this coincidence, and for that reason it is worth recounting. Ou- foes have utterly ignored the many noble lessons of home h’.ttory, aud 4 have wilfully closed their eves to eren the most glowing pages in what were once oar common records. A® this that we have here to offer, is of purely foreign extraction/f* would doubtless affect them more than any parallels of tustory which are merely of native grdlwth.

Towards tbe end of the year 1376. the Veuofosn had Jbeen reduced to such extremiti-. s that r&tff solitary ray <4* hope lightened the dense gloom then hanging over their destiny. The battle of Pels so shattered their armies and the fall of Chfoza so cripplpd their power, that despair laid its unnerving grip on the whole Republic. The united armaments of Genoa and Padua had effected all this distress by a succession of brilliant victories in an aggres sive war. On the 16lhof August, 1379, Frrucis de Carrare wrote to his capital that the gallant Ven etians “were pushed to the wall and must be t>not ed without mercy.” There were croakers in those days, as there have been ever since- and these croakers were, sudden ly, so numerous throughout the Venetian Republic, as io iucind* nearly all its civiUians. Less on be- humanity than of their Remaining interest, these caused an Embassy to visit the triumphant enemy not to sue for peace on “honorable terms,” but on any terms A panic w=s on them, and, in its paroxysm, they gave their ambassadors a blank Sheet of paper- let the leaders of the united arma ments fill it up as they please—only allow them a shadow of the substance they were too ready to surrender —and that was ail. But, that shadow _-e quited tne recognition of the nominal independence of Venice. This was a slight boon but it could not be tolerated. » . . The arrogant Genoise were full flushed with vic tory, and panting to complete the ruin of their rival. “My foot is on their necks.” wrote Peter Doria to Genoa, “they are suing for mercy iu the guise of peace; but lam deaf.” Nothing seemed easier than to push on and crush them. Suppli ants in his camp with a “blank paper,” were proof positive not only of humiliation, but of the des truction a few days or weeks would finish, forever. Therefore, he related to the embassadors in these words: “On God’s faith, gentlemen of Venice, you shall have no peace until we first put a rein upon the unbridled horses of yours that are on ! the porch of your Evangelist St. Mark. Your sub jugation a certainty, we shall keep you quiet.— • Take back the prisoners you would give me up.— ! I shall presently come and let them and all the others out. Do not imagine that we are here describing, slightly disguised, the speech which was other day at fortress Monroe. The wordsand poli cy of the insatiable aud short sighted tyrant of : five centuries ago, might indeed, be confounded with their modern reproduction. But we are 4 speaking of the veritable Peter Doria, commander ,■ of the Genose, and not of Abraham Lincoln; of the spirit which they said, and the manner ol say- i ing, ages ago, away in Italy : “They are driven ’ to the wall—treat them as criminals craving for mercy.” These words were then precisely whai , they are now—insolent bravado. The Venetian 1 carried hack, for the consideration of their d m p - ai £ in f c< ? m [ ad £t The - V lepeated to them the electric shocks! The dark e ioim at ol , ce jj. J luminated by a flash of patriotic lightening, a»a t •there was not one Venetian craven enough to Lug ' the torper he was so lately eager to embrace; dis- • may and distrust, as if by magic, fell from their hearts, and instantly they girded themselves for the strife. They would nobly do or bravely die for Venetian and independence. It was well that their preparations kept pace with their rekindlded ardor. The united armaments were I quickly upon them to achieve the victories that were I to make good their haughty and inexorable threats. Many terrible and uncertain conflicts succeeded • but ' there was no more dismay in the Venetian ranks or ' people. All was bright, deep-set, harmonious, deter- ! mmation. It triumphed. They would not be con- I quered—and they were not. Within five months of 1 this fearful threat, Peter Doria paid with his life a re tributive penalty for his insolence before the walla of 1 Cnioza. In five months more the all but vanquished ) Venetians dictated their own terms to their premature ly exultant foes. It was the despotic and heartless answer of the i Doria which saved Venice, not Only from her relent- j less enemies, but from what was unworthy of her I within herself. That was tbe spark that lit her expir- . ing hope, and revived her whole being. Resolute in her re animation, she stepped forth self-reliant, and only drew back victorious The peace her foea scorn fully denied her, she compelled them humbly to sue for on such terms as she pleased to allow. Behold ! history is re-enacting one of her sublimest spectacles this very day, on this very soil! (From the Augusta Constitutionalist.] Ctxarl«ston, If the secular journals of the North yelled and I raved more vocifferoualy over the fall of Charleg ton than Howling Dervishes, the religious papers were, if anything, a bow ahot beyond the charter- : ed libertines of the Press, in all manner of vituper ation and falsehood. Mr. Long, of Ohio, In that ■ masterly speech which we have published and which ought to go home to every Confederate, characterizes the religions principle of the North ' as depraved, hellish and barbarous. We can ap preciate the full force of this remark when read- ' Ing the extract from the New York Independent ! which we give below. Let all Southern men read it and from it gather a defiance which is the parent ! of fortitude. More especially let. every South J Carolinian brood over these vile words until they I are seared upon his -oui never to be erased in this ' world. it is proper to add that the Daily News and j Freeman’s Journal, the one representing what ns i left of euliglrteaed Democracy, the other the pur est Catholic sentiment, have both denounced the ' base strictures and cowardly presumption of the i Tribune and the Independent, with a force and • elegance which cannot be surpa’sed. But the de- i fence falls upon deaf eacs within their benighted i land, and it remains for us to treasure up their ut i terances as so many|argument9 to suffer everything I rather than submit: Here, under the caption of “Babylon is Fallen,” • the Independent vents its devilish spleen : So, at last, Charleston is ours, plucked like the i golden apple of the fable, that turned to ashes in I the grasp. The great news is like wine to the pulse. The early telegrams were thought to be too good to be true. What a picture was that which the Tribune’s correspondent presented to us on Tuesday morning of the Old Flag hoisted once again upon Sumter, even though waving from an oar’s blade for lack of a flag staff! The rebellion is humbled in the city of its first haughti ness. Boastful, braggart Charleston skulks away from itself, and surrenders without firing a shot in its own defence. The only heroism of the retiring traitor,-was in exploding powder for the horrible burning of their old women, children and old men. ! Having lately robbed both the cradle and the grave, they make a strange variety in their bar barous customs by now heaping the cradles into the graves. What a hideous sight saluted the bewildered eyes of the Union troop® as they entered the city —weak and helpless human beings, scalded, burned, and mutilated by those who ought to have been tbeir protectors; a city set on fire by its own garrison, when not a flame could touch the hair of an enemy’s head, but only singe and roast its own inhabitants! Terrible is the self inflicting retri bution which an Ali-wise Providence has decreed against this cocatrice’s den. Except for Charles ton, the rebellion would never have been ; and except Charleston had been terribly scourged by the war, poetic justice would have failed. “Bui vengeance is mine, I will repay ,” saith the Lord.
