Tt is with profound satisfaction the country has learned that the invincible Forrest has Ikjcii made a Lieutenant General, and placed in command of the cavalry of Gen. Hood's army. 'This appointment is Universally hailed by the people as auspicious to our cause. It is full of cheer, fringing the dark cloud of our despondency with the dawning light ci a bet ter cm in our affairs—an era of greater vigor and nnvess i.i the military operations of this depurtnuat, « Fy common cogent, Gen. Forrest is the great cavalry leader of the West, ns Gen. I lauipton is of The East. Helms earned this reputation by a series of brilliant and astonish ing achievements', which have exhibited not only great valor, halt tejna:kabie military genius. His capture of Muifrceahoro, ol Fort Fillow, and Memphis, showed lfiuj to bo . pos -erne-.t of a very JiigU cider of- generalship. II is croupe from Fort Ponelaon, and his cap ture >f Si might proved him to be one of the most daring and brilliant of modem chieftains. Napoleon would have Selected him for one of his Maiskaia, -and eivi n him the command of his cavalry, as e man after his own heart. In action lie is hardly equalled in the im petuosity of his charges, and the lightning rapidity ol his movements, whiclToften con found the enemy, and secure the victory hy the consternation they produce. lint. Gen. Forrest is not a mere fighter, endowed with hull >ic;; ( ouragj and resistless animal force. He is a strategist of inexhaustible resources, :*ml reityly and unfailing sagacity. In the midst of tin} hottest battle, he is prompt to lieict-ivo aiul avail himself of every advan tage. I!i* plans are formed and executed at the moment, anil always with accuracy and success, hi the Management of a campaign, and the conduct ol 1 extended militaiy epeta tiou.s,- lie has exhibited a touiprchensive in tellect, and a“c*irrect judgment, always re liable.

I;us exiorted universal lultniralion. It will form ono of the most brilliant chapters in tlie history of the war/ True, he has not enjoyed the advantages of a previous miiiiaiy education; he is not versed in tlie technicalities and science of tjie mili tary profession; he is not.a graduate of West Point. Put, what is far better, he is endowed whli military genius, lie possesses tint which no school can impart*— a natural aptitude for military command, lie was born a fieneril. He has graduated in the rough school of arms. He has received his diploma on the battle field, written in characters of Mood, with his own victorious sword, and stamped with the seal of his own invincible genius. The aulhoiities at Itichmond, wedded to their prejudices in favor of West Point afi.l Us graduates, and scarcely believing in i,h j possi bility of a civilian possessing military talents ol a high order, have been slow to recognize the merits and abilities of Gin. Forrest. He has been overslaughed and outranked by bis interiors. IVhere be should have commanded, he ha*, be* u compelled lo obey. He has been neatly driven -Horn lire service by the Latcur ami irjustice of West Point pride arid preju *li* •', lie Ims (ought his way to the position to which lie was entitled. By a series of unsur psttwrd achievement.-, he has wrung from his prejudiced superiors iu rank, the acknowledg ment ol his great abilities. We are glad for tire sake of onr cause that they are at last appreciated by the Itichmond authorities. .The necessities of the occasion have compelled them to give Gar. Forrest a command commensurate with his deserts, arid in which he will be able to render the most signal seiviues to his country. The field of op erations assigned to him, demanding energy and talents ot the highest older, we rejoice that we have the light man in the right place. The people and the army, for a long time, have impatiently expected Foircstto be sent to the rear of Sherman Their «i* k being at length gratified, we confidently anticipate important and favorable results. Sherinau cannot remain secure in Atlanta with Forrest in his rear. He will play havoc with his railroad oommuui catioos. He w ill not long permit the trains to run wilb that beautiful and uninterrupted reg ularity of which the Northern press have been I vaunting with such au air of confidence end j triumph. Rumor says that they are already ! stopped. Sherman will not likely boast in Lis next manifesto to his army that Forrest's cam paign was a blunder, as he did in reference to Wheeler's. He Ims had some disagreeable experience of the prowess of that redout-table leader, which will moderate his bragging pro pensity. and Suspire him with whole-'ome dread. We look for stirring news since Forrest has fairly started on the war path. The allair at Athens, Alabama, in which he captured oho of the strongest of the Yankee ganisons with ail its supplies, is a highly satisfactory and en couraging commencement of the campaign. anoness 7 o iht reople of tl r Smlefi of Xorlh Curolim, Gonyia, A’-.-.humi, Flotilla, Mississippi, and Tennessee. • At a meeting cf the commissioners of your respective States to fix prices under the’ha pr .mum laws, convened by order of the bee ret,my of War. at the instance of the Secretary of the Treasury, at Montgomery on tire 20th ins:., for mutual conference, with a view to uniformity of prices between the several States, anti hy a redualion of prices just, to the Gov ernment and the people, to sustain the credit of the country, the undersigned were appointed a coinmttee to address you on this important subject, and to appeal to you, who of ail have it most in your power to bring about this de sired result, to come to the aid of the Secreta ry of the Treasury, to the rod of the Commis* siemens, and to the aid of your country upon this question, vital to her life, and to your own fu ture interest and welfare.- It is your own government we ask you to sustain—your own cahse we appeal to you to support—your own credit we wish you to up hold. Hit two tilings are required on your part to do this. One is to furnish'your sup-; plies to the government at low rates; th« other, to invest your surplus money in governmeu securities. Hut. two things ure necessary tt bring the war too successful ebse. Men v money. Men to fight our battles, and me to provide the naans to support our nrrait the field. The patriotism of the couritry.- eupplied the men, and wo appeal to that h patriotism on the part of those at home ch* folly to supply the means. • T It must be known to you that, in proporr as the Government expenses are reducer, in proportion will its burdens, u|«):r yotW taxation be reduced. To reduce its ox pci. you must give value to its currency, so tk its purchasing power may , Ire increased, arc the largest amount of supplies secured with tlriF h ast amount of money. There are two Ways to give value to our currency The first is to dimini'a ' volume; the second to have erhr-’ lidence in Government securities, both thesß depend upon yourselves. There arc two wavs to diminish volume of the currency. „One is, to furnish the* Gov ernment with your surplus supplies at a low rate; the other, to invent your surplus money In Government securities. It must be plain to you that this will sustain the Government credit, add that it, is in your power to accom plish it.- It mu l also be plain to you that this is to your own best, interests, as you will then hold yourselves the. Government indebtedness which will be returned to you in interest upon her securities, and in your diminished burdens of taxation. But do you dislruat the Govern ment securities? H you do, you distrust jour own cause, and by so doing impede the pro gress of your independence. H e.h ono of your Stales was represented in tire t Convention, and the Commissionera. after the most mature consideration, determined up on a uniform schedule of maximum prices !Tir the several States, reducing the average prices heretofore.about one-third, or perhaps slightly more. An extract froim| tire closing remarks of the President wifi inmfm you of the spirit of of the Conven tion . * ‘•Never, in all my experience in delibera tive bodies, have I scon manifested more har mony, more courtesy, and more conciliation between the members themselves, and between them and the Chair, than have been exhibited in your entire proceedings; and each member of the Conventmu has, with earnest and con scientious faithfulness, endeavored to discharge his duty to the Government and the people. ‘•We have unitedly taken an advanced step in' the reduction of prices by the establishment of a uniform maximum schedule to sustain thetrredit of tits cufrency, the responsibility of which each one of us lias deeply felt bu 4 t which ne cessity compelled us to take in the exigencies of tlie country. “Tli ' people, T think, will appreciate our ac tion, end approve wbat duty required and pa triotism demanded; but whether approved by ali or not, ouis is the responsibility; and we leave it to the calm judgment of iiiat public opinion which it goes out to meet, and which, tilled with a just appreciation of tlie success of our struggling cause, will determine justly up on the measures which we have taken, finan cially, to maintain it.” Congress has provided that the expenses ot tlie Govorcment|nre to bejpaid in treaeuryjnotes, and certificates of indebtedness bearing six per cent, interest, payable two years after tlie ratification of a treaty of peace, and free from taxation. These certificates arc intended to reduce the volume ol the currency, and are the most valuable means of payment olleied by the. Government. ,- We cannot too strongly urge upon all cred itors ot the Government, as a measure for their own interest, and ro sustain the -credit of the currency, to fake those certificates for all sur pluses beyond what their necessities may re quire in treasury notes accumulating in the hands of the capitalists and others being in vested in the purchase of the nor.Aaxabie six per cent, bonds provided to 1* sold <or the re demption of these notes, tire currency will be reduced to the actual business wants of the country, its credit restored, prices lowered, .the expenses of the Governmenment econo mined, taxes diminished, aud the blessings of a financial system realized iu lime of war such, as we have been accustomed to in times of peace. May we not with reason, confidence and hope, appeal to each individual, and to'all classes of the community, to unite in accom plishing this most desirable result. As part of this address, we append a letter frOm lhe Secretary of the Treasury, addressed to the Commissioners, giving the most conc.se view of the condition of the government, and tlie exposition of the reasons which influenced the action of the Convention ; Tuuasluy Dki'abt.mext.C.

But tiMfte evils should not be al lowed to go further. ’I be ability of the gov eminent to conduct tlie war to a successful issue, and the happiness r.nd welfare of our people after the war shall have terminated, arc too deeply involved.

I Luo king then to tha dignity of vour office, aud the momeutous results depending? upon your action, 1 have thought it inj duty to communi cate to yon every information possessed by this department that may aid your judgment in the discharge of your important duties. One active cause of the depreciation is dis trust cf the government securities; and 1 will endeavor to show that this distrust is without reasonable foundation. The entire public debt, funded and un funded, was on the first of July, last about $ 1.250,000,C0U. The expenres frem Ist Jutvto Jlst Dec. are estimated at about 325,000 000 Making an aggregate of. ... 51.5 *5.000.000 In this amount is included $250,000,000 of J per cent, bomlg, ty he ii.sj*od ■<< piac« of a like amount of oh’ s '-'"' -W the act Os J 7th FV Merable portion ol * the Treasury i %i i Mw M m ; fw < * ss? **• Why - '- /tirrtheri bedo"”' js alleged (an atb) that ri si x ua i]y paid k sby should ’ ; own-Gov id to us in • he magni ,ir property, au«l bankrupt this-posef- ' ; .:ose proper r4oo,sell dur s t<* the value fit bonds for \ risk of b:i- JJf one citizen \ is equally true inattention to -oat we arc sell- T>7 yfitir, only the in which the geaiYe, an the following . The government paid o. jO.OOD for certain supplies ; and fu. ,6 .received’ this sum bought with it, !,(..« a foreigner, sls,ooo'in gold, de liverable in England. With the $3001)00 thus obtained, tlie foreigner then bouaht-an equal amount ol'government bonds, bearing 7 per cent,, per annum interest. It follows tn-.it at the end of the war, for $15,- 00(1 thus acquired bv !be citizen, the govern ment will owe a debt of $300,000. Tire citizen wilt receive annually 01.050 in terest; the Government will pay annually $21,000. Had he, on the contrary, bought the bonds himself, the $21,000 annually paid by the Government would have been received by one of its own citizens, and, the country, as a whole,'would haw been neither lichcr nor poorer, t would earnestly impress upon your consideration, that when traced through all their various ramifications, tlii3 is at last the uniform result ol every case iu wljicU supplies are sold to the Government, amt property of any description is bought with the money, to the exclusion'of Government securities. It should be.-borne in mind that we leave now no commercial class in this country; that the batiks have but a limited capital of about sl>o,- 000,000, aiid beyond this sum have no power to purchase government bonds, The great* mass of our C'tizsns then, of every class, must combine, aud take government securitidß, and nothing else, in exchange for treasury notes, or tne public debt must infallibly go abroad. There is no single class of our own citizens, who have the power to purchase and hold $1,500,- 000 of bunds. The question then is between public debt being taken by our entire popula tion of all classes, or by foreigners, in tlie man ner, and on the terras already indicated. Judg ing from present indications, there will be no difficulty iu finding purchasers for our bonds among those who are sending them abroad ? There can be go escape from tire ultimate pay ment of the debt.; if held by foreigners, we could not evade it if we would; if held hy out own people, we would not if we could; and un der no circumstances, I trust, would a sug gestion, so dishonorable, be gravely entertained. In the consideration of this question, there fore, such an apprehension as this should be al lowed no weight whatever. Every man must take home to himself the conviction that in proportion to his property, he is tire debtor for liis share of the national debt; aud the ques tiorvfor him to determine is who he will hold that share of the debt himself,.or-with a cleat perception of the consequences, he -will permit it to be taken and held by foreigners. It it is tr vie that the public debt must infallibly be paid; that every man’s property is bound for its propotionate share, that all must p.iy taxes according to their wealth to defray the annual interest, then it follows that all me equally interested in limiting the expenditures to the smallest po sible sum; and in purchas ing and holding the bonds that thus continue a charge upon their estates. The t vpenditurcs depend in a great degree upon the prices you shall lix; to you alone have Congress confided the power of exer cising any control over this question. Ami through you, may these engaged in furnishing supplies to the Governmeu’, find lor the pay ment of whom the public defct is created, most easily and metura'ly learn, how much better they are served; when jour fnedeiation in re straining the public expenditures, confines within more prudent limits the mortgage upon your estates; and with how much greater late ly they may thomseivf s become the purchas ers oi' these mortgages, than permit them to pass into ike hands of foreigner The whole question, complicated as it may at first appear, , is perfectly simple and lies in a nutshell. ’Congress lias ordered the follow irg expenditures to be made, viz: For pay of the army $75,000,000 For clothing, shoes, material, trans portation, &.r. 125,000,000 For provisions for the amiy 100,000,000 $300,000,000 The have dirteted these expenditures to be paid for in treasury note*, and in certificates ot indebtedness, bearing fi per cent, interest aud free from taxation ; and for tlie security and ultimate redemption of the treasury notes, they have provided non-taxable 0 per cent, bonds, which they an d me to sell for treasury notes. ' You have now before you the whole scheme of the currency, and of the government finances. That these supplies should cost no more than the sum pro-aided, depends of course upon t be prices ; aud the prices are to be regulated by you. I have endeavored to show that the best in terest of every citizen consists in the establish ment of moderate prices; but no argument seems to me as forcible as a clear statement of the simple facts of the.rase. This L have now endeavored to make. If we suppose the purchases to have been made, and the community to be in possession of tne f.JbO.OOO 000 of Treasury notes, the pert question is, will they pass them about from baud to hand, -in exchange for property at ex travagant prices, until they gradually fall into the bauds of foreigners, and are exchanged by them for Governmentjbcmds ; or will every citi zen tike the Government bombs hinr-eif. 1 have endeavored to prot e that cur true interest con sists in following the latter course. llopiog that you mav concur in these views and that your deiibeialions may result in pro VOL.

The Enrolling Officer ol the State was sent to ih'- i-ostvtiijn and did to. lie wm. legally in bis custody, mfi-l the officer ccTtainty h--d o right to hold him until he should be relieved from bis custody by the judgment, in Jils f. vor of some Court having jurisdiction of tim case. He sued out n writ-oi irftbeas corpus returnable •to the Inferior Court of his coutay a.s ho Im-J a right to do 'J'lie case was in-ard by th*■ Court and the judgment rendered against, h;<H. Independently of the judgment, hetbic if was rendered, be was liable to be sent lo tbe front. When it bad been rendered against hiaj, he was liable under it, to be sSut. Tt'? Unrolling Officer v.as then doubly armed with antho;ity to scud him. ife the isa 1 out a will of■- p rati to the Superior Court, to carr y fh;r < -.-a into tiro Conn and to ask oi it v;i;at he had failed to got in tbe-Ini'eiioi- Court, naoifcHV. .ir i judgment in his favor; Lint what iu the di'oct of lids writ of certiorari! It is not judgment for or against him. It simply car ries' the case into the higher Court. but it may be said the mU of c rHorari when legally sued out supersedes ilie judgment: < f the Court below. Grant it; and where does it, leave the Jiriiitiaman ’ If leaves him prcc'isi-iy where it. found him bcfoie the judgemi-nf was tendered—iu the hands of the ihirolliug-Oliic-er with all the legal presumptions against him which existed before the judgement .war ren dered or the case brought into Coii ;. He must therefore remain in tire military service, where/he Inferior Court found him, until ho can find some court that will decide in his fa vor— that is, that be is improperly held, and is entitled to be discharged. No legal or con.fi ■ tational right of his is violated i-y holding him in service until I he can flail a Court that wiil decide that he is entitled to a .discharge. A writ superseding a judgment rendon-d against him while in legal custody cannot j surely operate, as a judgment relieving him irom custody. He may carry bis case up from Court to until! he rcaelms tbe high est Judicial tribunal, but in tlier re n time, remains in tbe hands of .the Military authori— it'es whoie the first Court found filin’, until some court shall decide that.be inis a right to be released. As an illustration, suppose a soldier iu the regular army who has enlisted for three yrnrs, and served* two, should suo out his writ ot ha bus corpus in the Inferior Court ami it should decide against him, and he should carry tbe case to the Superior Court by or from the Superior to the Supreme Court by Bill of Exceptions; will any lawyer contend tin' thix entitles him to he discharged from the scrvic •• and set at liberty ponding the litigation when all the judgments that have been lcndcicd in the case are against him'.’ If this be the law, General Lee’s whole Army may be legally dis banded auy day, when each soldier in it" may sue out a habeas corpu rand get an luferiur Court against hi-- right tube dis charged, find then cuter an appeal to a higher Court. The whole Militia o; Georgia may be • ii.-i-h.iigorl iu tire same way, vviren ;>••> C ,-ui-s in tbe iitatu has decided in lavor of a :-,:i>eic one of them, but when a decision has been made, in the Gomt, of bis own choice, against <• :o . and every one of thsnr. Tne principle in. y kave been against them evea in the Sopn-me Court, and still they may,-if this be law, be all discharged for years. For instance, one of the Militia may sin; out Lis witt of habeas corpus ciaimhig his dis charge on the ground, that the Act of the Leg islature under wbiclr lie is held is unconstitu tional. This case may go tp the Supreme Copit and the judgment may be rendered against him. This'judgment would be binding on ail the Courts below. But each Milifiamaa ot the State might ffihmediatoly .me out bis writ ..’ the Inferior Court on tiie same ground, ami when the Court ruled against him early the case nn to the Supreme Court claiming 4rigl-1 to haw a j-e'gin ut of the Suprenre Court >,ll the quo o; 1. ..is iudirMgpl case ; an-1 iho mean tine ne would he entitled to his.
