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, vy the county runds, ot ov&r eighty miles.

The doth i > n K of several of them bore testimony that their I trip into rebeldom had been extended greatly be- i yond their calculations on starting. They wore light linen coats and patent leather boots, light raiment tor a bivouac in the elevated region be tween the Potomac and Rupidau rivers Some of them looked as if they might have been clerks, but others there w-ere wiio, unless their counte , nances libelled them grossly, w-ere professional j thieves.

These civilians say that they visited Manassas on a ni'ssiou ot mercy; that Pope telegraphed to Washington he was in pursuit of the rebels, and didn’t have time to attend to his wounded, and that they had volunteered to go to their relief. >!.

'.',’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.

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. l ie I 1 resident's Tliank«giring Proclama tion.

A few months ago our people w-ro overwhelmed with despondency. Disaster after disa-ter followed in quick succession, and tue dark frown of the Almighty seemed to have set tled upon us as a Nation. Ha has said ‘ Offer unto God thiuksgiving; and pay thy vows unto .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 oi Hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our r :uge. He maketii wars to cease unto the end of the earth; he breaketh the bow, and cutteth tho spear, asunder.” Blessed is the Nation w hose Col is the Lord. I.ard Lamp. We recollect having used, some eight or ten 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.

Thursday, Friday and Saturday, 28th, 29th and 30th of August, will not even serve to deceive the ignorant Yankee who cau read the papers. The following short letter from the Medieal Inspector of the Yankee Army to General Lee, tells the whole story’. No amount of lying, and no care fully prepared explanation cau cover up or mysti fy the great truth here given to the World, through the highest Medical authority of the Y’aukee Army. Iu this letter of Dr. Richard H. Coolidge, Medical Inspector, we have the plain unvarnished truth. It is the language and the sentiment oi a man not trained to Ke that thrift may follow- falsehood ; but of a man who feels keenly the great disaster which is upon him, and those coni milled to his care. How he pleads for his wounded ! Wounded left upon the ground by the enemy who had not the time, the heart or the means oi looking after them. Every one will agree with us, that this letter settles the question,—whose victory was it ? 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, Very respectfully, your ob’t. serv’t, RICHARD H. COOLIDGE.

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.

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 April, IStil, with brickbats and other ac cessible weapons. There was also a state ment to the effect that an entire regiment When our people can be induced to , 0 f Maryland troops had joined our stand- tolcrate such sentiments as these are we ard, renouncing their allegiance to the ab- not approaching a fearful crisis? And yet j olition government, are not such opinions, to a very great ex- j ^ Enquirer ot \\ ednesday 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 were engaged in removiug commissary- ignty"intended to be reserved by the 1 8 ! 0res fr . om f, he city-slaying and bruising ° J 1 them miscellaneously with bricks, bullets and opinions, to a very great 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. For the Southern Federal Union. In Bivouac, Sept. 2d, 1862. Messrs. Editors: Our regiment when carried into action on Saturday afternoon the 30th ult., numbered one hundred and seventy men and twenty-four officers, ma king a total of one hundred and ninety- four. Of that number we lo3t one hun dred and four killed and wounded. Fifteen officers were killed and wounded of the twenty-four. Longstreet’s corps'of which we form a part, is about three miles north of Centreville, (which village is occupied by the enemy,) and moving in a north easterly direction. Col. G. T.
