DISTINGUISHED ARRIVALS.
Thirty-two of General Pope’s commissioned of
ficers and sixty-nine citizens of Washington, cap
tured by our troops during the great battle of the
30th ultimo, arrived in this city by the Central
railroad last evening, iu charge of a military es
cort. I he whole party were dirty, foot-sore and
way-worn exceedingly They had footed it all the
way from Manassas to Hapidan station, a distance,

itlm-fin! Law Again.
'.',’e regret to find that a portion of our remarks
1week has been misunderstood by some per-
; It was not our intention to admit that the
proclamation of Martial law by a military officer
could legally suspend the writ of Habeas Corpus.
This it cannot do legally’; although some officers
refused to obey the writ of Habeas Corpus,
tl,..y h ive done it at their peril. The power of
. -pending that great privilege belongs solely to
( i ngress. as the Adjutant General showed in his
k tter to the Macon Telegraph. The President
, his executive capacity may proclaim Martial
law iu cases of extreme necessity, when the pub
lic safety requires it, but he cannot go further and
a spend the privilege of the writ of Habeas Cor
pus unless Congress has specifically given him
that power. That stable charter of liberty asserts
“that no freeman shall be taken or imprisoned
but by the lawful judgment of his equals or by
the law of the laud,’’ and is our safeguard against
the abuses of Martial law as well as against im
proper civil duress. It prohibits, inhibits and in
terdicts arbitrary imprisonment of any kind, and
no proclamation of Martial law by the President,
or by any Military Chief, can suspend it unless by
express act of Congress. Military officers are
amenable to an enquiry by Congress as to the
necessity of a proclamation of Martial law. and
are responsible in damages in a civil suit in a
Court of common law for any wrongs done by
them to individuals under their exercise of Mar
tial law. These remedies seem to have been lost
s -lit of by the press, by our public men, and by
t e people. So far as newspaper correspondents
w :h an army are concerned, it is the right of the
c iromanderof an army to say whether or not they
s ill be admitted within his lines. This is right
a- the government holds him, and him only’, re
sponsible for the execution of the trust confided
t i him. If admitted they clearly become subject
11 his orders, and if not admitted they have no
r _ ht to complain, as they cannot measure the
(1 rai's responsibility, nor judge with accuracy
t measures he may deem necessary for its ful-
nt. Iiut when a General 6teps beyond his
- and attempls to control or subdue the press.
•n invades our rights, and is answerable in
remission, iu his person and in his property,
tin wrongs he may do. Judge Hall vindica-
t 1 the law in New Orleans in the case of Gen
J .♦ .- ii, and Gen. Jackson sustained the law by
paying the fine. There the law stands to this
uquestioned, bearing no small testimony to
t lirmness of tho Judge and the patriotic sub-
i: -lull of tho Military Hero. This question of
M u tial law is now before Coogfess, and we hope
t - ive from that body some authoritative expres-
- -.u ot opinion on the subject.

our people will respond to it in the same spirit in

tue dark frown of the Almighty seemed to have set

.he Most High : And call upon me in the day of
trouble : I will deliver, thee, and thou shalt glorify
me.' And again He has said, “Now consider
this, ve that forget God, lest I tear you in pieces*
and there be none to deliver.’’
Let us as a people cease all our business avoca-
t ons, assemble oil the day appointed by our good
President, humble ourselves before the great God,
and thank Him for all His mercies.” The Lord

T he officers who came down with them yesterday
pronounce this story a Hat lie. Tliey say their ob
ject in going to Manassas was to rob the dead.—
We think the truth is as stab d by the Northern
papers : That believing the Confederates had been
overwhelmed, they rushed out to see the sport
attendant upon the slaughter that was thought to
be about to begin. At the same time there is but
little doubt hut that many of them were induced
to make the pilgrimage to the famous battle field
by tire hope of plunder. They have been lodged
iu the commodious edifice on the dock, known as
the Libby prison. What special disposition, it
any, our authorities propose to make of them has
not transpired.

Centerville, Va., Sept. 3d, 1862.
General Kobt. E. Lee, Commanding Confederate
Army :
General: Medical Director Guilet, of the Con
federate Army, and Medical Director McFarlan, oi
the U. S Army, have just arrived here from the
battle field near Manassas. The accounts they
give are (ar more serious than my previous infer
mation had led me to believe. Our wounded sol
diers, to the number of near three thousand, many
still lying on the field, are suffering for food. I
have no commissary stores, and my supplies oi
medical comforts are wholly inadequate. With
every kindly intention and effort on the part ot
those under your command, the loss of life must
be very great, unless food and means of transpor
ting the wounded within our owu lines are prompt
ly supplied.
I know-of no source of adequate supply nearer
than Washington.
If, General, you cans consistently with duty, per
mit supplies of food and transport wagons for
wounded to pass through your lines to and return
from the battle field, you will save very many
Iivps and much suffering. If you cannot do this.
I beg that you will, for hum mity sake, point out
some rotlier way in which the needful relief may
be obtained.
I am within your lines, and, of course, cannot
provide the necessary relief without your permis
sion. I have the honor to be,

Let the Npcrulntor* aland from under.
Our armies within a few days have invaded
Kentucky, Ohio and Maryland. They have also
recovered portions of Tennessee, Virginia and
Missouri, that have fora long time been in pos
session of the enemy. These States are filled to
overflowing with flour, bacon, lard and all kinds
of provisions. They have also been well supplied
with Northern and imported dry goods. As soon
as communications can be established with them,
all of those articles that have been so high in oui
markets will flow into the country in continued
streams-; of course tho exorbitant prices now-
asked for such articles will fall, will come down
with a perfect rush. In prospect of such an event,
many benevolent persons have asked what then
will become of the speculators. Many plans have
been devised to dispose of them, but the best
plan that we have seen is that which proposss to
form them all, old and young into a brigade by
themselves, and send them into the army. Let
them be kept entirely separate from the other
troops for fear of demoralizing the rest uf the
army. Let the brigade of speculators be reserved
until there is a favorable opportunity to charge
and we feel sure that no troops in tho world can
stand their charges.

For the Southern Federal Union.
(Messrs. Editors : Tho’ the discussion of
the “Conscript Act” in Congress may not
have convinced the defamers of Gov.
Brown that his position in relation to that
Act is based upon principle and sustained
by the most matured judgments and wisest
expounders of constitutional law, yet iS it
a merited condemnation of their blinded
partizen hostility to the man, to the utter
disregard of the conservative character of
the measure. The Governor needed not
the endorsement of our most reliable
statesmen of the wisdom of his course ;
for none but those who are determined
against conviction of error pretend to of
fer any other argument than “necessity”
to sustain the policy of conscription. The
most surprising portion of the discussion
in Congress was the assertion of CgI.
Kenan that “Gov. Brown had appealed to
the people to sustain him in his opposition
to the Act.” "Whence the authority of
this assertion? How and when was the
appeal made? The Governor yielded an
unwilling reluctant assent to the operation
of the law within the State, save only that
clause which arbitrarily interfered with
the militaiy power of the State, refering
the determination of the constitutionality
of the measure to the tribunal of public
opinion to be submitted at a proper time
and in a suitable manner. This ha£ been
tortured by an uurelenting political op
ponent into an inflammatory appeal to the
people—to array their prejudices against
the government, and to arouse strife and
contention in the hour of peril; hut like
other envenomed shafts aimed at political
virtue, it lias fallen harmless at the feet of
its intended victim. That the Governor
is thoroughly, undeniably correct in his
opinion of the Conscript Act in so far as
its constitutionality is involved, is admitted
by many of his most violent opposers,
and in discussions I have had with not a
few of them, when compelled to yield to
the force of argument irresistible in its
conclusions, 1 have been astonished at
hearing them—those too who have been j
regarded as champions of the Rights of
the States—admit “that the experiment
of popular government is a failure—uni
versal suffrage destructive of stable effi
cient rule; that it has produced the disas
trous condition to which we have been re
duced, led to the anarehy and despotism
of the Lincoln government, and if not
shorn of its strength will produce the same
results in our Confederacy ; that nothing
hut the obliteration of the Rights of the
States, and the establishment of a central
government, invested with supreme power,
will secure a wise and efficient administra
tion of our national affairs and maintain
the perpetuity of our independence.”
I have been frequently asked, “wliat
permanent good to us as a people has re
sulted to us from the Revolution of ’7(5?”
These are fearfully ominious of coming
evil.
Our Army in UarrlanL
Baltimore m a state of Insurrection.
It seems no longer to be doubted
that our army, or a large portion of it,
have crossed the Potomac and are now
matching on Baltimore if not on Pennsyl
vania.
The Richmond Enquirer of Tuesday
says :
The general advance of the army, se
lected from onr combined forces, took
place on Friday, and the ‘crossing of the
Rubicon’ was accomplished in excellent
order. On the Thursday evening prece
ding, General Stuart advanced with his
command within eight miles of Alexan
dria, and made a feint upon the enemy’s
lines. Pope fancying that a general attack
was meditated, placed his army in prepar-
tion, and held them in line of battle during
the night, sleeping on their arms. When
morning came, Gen. Stuart had disappear
ed.
The intervening time had been occupied
by our troops in pushing on to Edwards’
Ferry, where they crossed with little dif
ficulty, the Potomac being very low, and no
enemy appearing to oppose their progress.
The men were exultant as they dashed in
to the stream, and became inspired vtiili
the most sanguine expectation of the spee
dy disentbralment of Maryland and the
downfall of the Federal Capital. Of their
operations after crossing we can, of course,
as yet give no account. We might pre
sent presumptions, but these the reader
can invent for himself, if he is at all famil
iar with the lines of communication run
ning out of Washington to the North and
W est.
The Dispatch of Wednesday says :
It was stated yesterday afternoon, hut
how correctly we leave the reader to judge
that our army reached Frederick City,
Md., on Saturday Crossing as they did
on Friday, there was nothing in the dis
tance from the river to that point to pre
vent their reaching there at the time sta
ted. The distance from Frederick to the
Relay’, by the old National road, is about
forty miles, and by the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad about fifty miles. From
Frederick to Washington City, through
Rockville, in Montgomery county’, the dis
tance is about the same, perhaps not so
great. From the several points where our
army crossed the Potomac, via Rockville
to Washington, the distance is less tiian
thirty miles. From Frederick City to
liarrisouhurg, via Gettysburg and Car
lisle, the distance does not exceed seventy-
miles. So that, if they moved on Freder
ick, and reached that city as stated, on
Saturday, it is highly probable that they
are already over the borders of Pennsyl
vania, and within easy distance of bet
capital.
There was another report, however,
that after crossing, our forces moved in the
direction of the Relay, on the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad, nine miles west of Bal
timore. Coining to us as a rumor we give
it tor what it is worth, without pretending
to decide upon its probability’. Connect
ed with this rumor was one’to the effect
that there had been an uprising of the
people of Baltimore in resistance to the
Federal authority, and that the Yankee
Provost Marshal of the city had been kill
ed. We have all along believed that the
people of Baltimore would not quietly
submit to Lincolnism one day after the
passing of the Potomac by our troops, and
a confirmation of this rumor of an uprising
would cause us no surprise. Tho difficul
ty is said to have originated in an attempt
of the Federal officials to remove the Gov
ernment stores from that city- to the North,
to which the people cn masse nhjpotefl. and
pitched in after the style of the 29th of

says :
From Maryland.—The news from ourda-
vancing army in the North-east on yester
day was, necessarily, very limited, no oth
er established fact being ascertained than
that General Jackson had passed through
Frederick City, Maryland. Reports were
plentiful, as usual. It was stated emphat
ically by- parties coming from Leesburg,
that our arriy had reached the Relaj’
House, nine miles from Baltimore, and
that, the news reaching Baltimore, a large
number of citizens rose in a mass and
pitched into the government troops—who

tent, warranted by the exposition of the
powers of our government by Mr. Davis
in his reply to Gov. Brown? not so intend
ed by him it may be admitted, but not the
less conclusive and convincing by logical
deductions from his labored argument.
There is more high-toned Federalism in
Mr. Davis’ letter than is to he found in the
same space in the writings or speeches of
any Federal of the Hamiltonian school;
claiming for Congress power unknown to
the Constitution and unchecked by any
soverei_
States. I have no wish nor intention to
engage in fruitless discussion of questions
of national polity ; my only object is to
shew that however Gov. B. may have been
assailed by political rancour he has been
sustained by tried and trusty leaders of
orthodox principles of popular govern
ment. VINDICATOR.
