Speaker, that the assumptions of power contained in the acts of conscription, and especially in tne Jasi act, are wdoiij luwunsyeni wnaiae jun damental principles of our form ofgorernment; and if upheld by the legislation and the judiciary of the ' States, a revolution in our system of, government ti&z been accompnsnea 1a me ivo nrsi years of its " existence,, which converts our assocuuoo of free sov- ereiga states into one. consolidated military detpot " mot, more powerful and more oppressive than- any that has existed m chnstendojn in, the, last, five hun- ! dred years. try, Air. &peaKer, it assumes the right to conscribe and to place in-the regular army of the Confederate States, every man in the State" of the proper age for bearing arms, no matter what State omce he may noid no matter how essential his office; or employment to the very existence of the Sta.te , : and to send them o distant lands to fight for con- quest and dominion ; ana an tnis without the con- sent of tbe State -authorities. 11 assumes the right ' BEHAEKS OF. HE ; to take every State officer, high or low, and the ivhcIclEocbelle.-a dcscendent 'of oqc .of the noblest, Huiu- , militia of the Stap tfeeUiL inan ; and .that no ! man. by State aulrjonty, can oe exempiea 4rom this 1 cruel and unrelenting conscription; his only exemp.. ' tion being by the mere grace anu iavor 01 tna ions federate government. Are such assumptions of power consistent with our 'system of government? Surely n?t, Mr. Speatcer. It is true this last act of conscription has not actually placed in the regular army every State officer. : It has kindly condescend ed, hy implication, to exempt our Governor; and has by express words graciously exempted the mem bers of the Legislature and its officers. It has also exempted ministers of religion, printers of newspas pere, physicians, and a few others. 'But this is of more erace and favor, not of right in the State. All tlip rest of the men in the State, including your whole judiciary, it has conscribed and placed, or pretended to place' in the regular army of the Confederate states and there they musSremairi, subject to milK tary law, even betore enrollment, .anu oeiore tney have been actually mustered into the service, farther than the act of conscription accomplishes, or supplies the place of enrollment and mustering into service. And it must be horhe in -mind that every 'exemption that is made in the act is of pure grace and favor of the Confederate government, and not your, acknowl edged right in the States to make these exemptions. Can any man maintain such doctrines and not see at once, that'instead oi a Confederacy of free and inde-i pendent States, wo have established a powerful con- solidated military despotism, tne most cruei, unre lenting and oppressive, that has existed in christen dom for centuries r It is true, the judiciary and other necessary State officers for the proper adminis- tration of the State government, may be exempt, provided the Governor will certify as to their neces'. sity for the proper administration of the State gov ernment. But, let us suppose that a difficulty has arisen between this independent and Confederate branch of the State government in relation to tbe powers of the State Executive, and he refuses to certify, as to their necessity for the proper adminis - tration of the State government What, then, bes comes of the judiciary of the States and of the ad ministration of civil law, and suppose the President, for the same reason is displeased with the judiciary ; is there ipt an; end cf all State,authority, and of all State government ? No man can deny it. For such assumptions orpoweon the part of the Confederate Government, I for ohe can never con sent; Jmt feel bound to enter my solemn protest against them, as utterly subversive of all State authority and of all State rights. j . ' I hold, Mr. Speaker, that as a State we are n.ot at all dependent upon the grace and favor of tbe Con federate Government for the exemption of necessary State officers, or for any other exemptions of persons which, in the judgment of the State legislature, may be necessary and indispensible' to the healthy and effective operations of ths State government But that it is not only the right, but . that it is the imperative duty of the legislature : to exempt all constitutional officers of all the separate and inde pendent and co-ordinate branches of. the State gov-' ernment, to wit: the. Governor, the Judiciary, the . membersjof the Legislature, and also Secretary apd Treasury of State, Comptroller, -&c, but likewise all such other persons and employees, asare necessary, for a proper administration of the State government. And for one, I am for exercising this authority by passing a bill for that purpose. I would also, until . the present -crop is rnaue andsecured, exempt every ! ,man zealously and laboriously engaged on the farm raising supplies for the array and for the people at home ; and also all those persona employed in those mechanical trades, that are indispensible to the farm- ing operations of the State ; 'and if more men are needed I would take every able-bodied-man in the State in the conscript department, every able-bodied man in the commissary, quartermaster and all other departments of the government, where it could , be done, and I would fill ttese places with disabled sol , diers who are no longer fit for service in the field, but would cheerfully till these places. " . - I would, also, .snd forward the Thousand and one red-mouthed original secessionists, which we n.eet in every town and village and in every railroad car, who made such extravagrant promises as -to what . they would do if secession produced wan,' and who are now filling most of the solt and shady places in the gift of the government. These I would send forward to the army at once, but not another man from the farm until the present crop is made and sex cured. Nor should the seed.corn be taken, the boys between 17 and IS, nor the. old men between 45 and. fiO years of age. No sir, and I can assure the Con? federate authorities, that if they are taken now, many a field of gra in will go unreaped, and many a field now planted in corn must be abandoned, and starva tion will inevitably overtake many a family. And I verily believe, that if the President and the authorities . at Richmond knew our real condition as we know it, they would pursue' the very course jjow reconv mended, and not another man would be taken from th farm until the present crops are made and se cured." These are my deliberate convictions, and I have felt it my duty so to declare in the Senate. -And Mr." Speaker, I have presented these views : not with any the remotest intent to embarrass the ' Confederate authorities or to discourage our brave soldiers or their commanders, nut with a viaw toi . uphold the laws of my country, ana strengthen and ' encourage the government'in the exercise f all its rightful powers. This course I believe necessary to our spcceas m the death struggle m wniCD we are n now involved. J ; ' ' . 7" v That the-conscription acts-in .the assumption of -:--t3wer: to -which I have alluded are unconstitutional; m.- hire already decided these questions as to the con aututlonaaty 01 me conscription acts. .

A surgeon came and declared that Miss Pickens had no longer than two hours to live. We will not paint the general despair.

A slight flush. rose for an instant to her pale check; it couid be seen that joy and pain were struggling in her spirit for the mastery. Lying upon a sofa, her bridal dress all stained with blood, her hair dishevel ed, she had never been more beautiful. Helpless as she was. Lieut de Jtochelle took her hand and re. quested the Rev. Mr. Dickinson to proceed with the ceremony. When it was time for the dying girl to say yes, her lips parted several times, but she could no L articulate. ' At last the word was spoken, and a slight fSam rested upon her lips. The dying agony was near. The minister sobbed as he proceeded with the ceremony. An hour afterward all was over and the bridal chamber was the chamber of death. Lieut le Rocheile has sworn to perish in battle against the Yankees, and. we are sure that he will keepiis oath.

Willis: Alas, dear Willis 1 that-the rose should lose its perfume and that poets should fame. Can it be that tbe rheumatic, shattered, decayed individual that we see on Broadway, is the gay, dashing gallant of days gone by ? Sad sight is it. indeed I sad as are-the with ered rose-leaves that flutter in the moaning wind. A face, never large,! but rosy and gladsome, is now pinched, wrinkled and saddened. The locks that once curled so "much to his own satisfaction, and the distraction of all - the boardingeschool girls 'of the country, are now1 sprinkled with gray, and hang as forlorn as an old maid's. The eyes that once spoke like his tongue, in poetry and love, have now sunk awav inalheir sockets, and require spectacles to as sist him in his ordinary avocations. He has small, 1 delicate hands, which he nurses, softens, and bleaches,: and exhibits. to the envy of men and the admiration of the fair sex. He dresses in some odd suit, seem ingly, and the better to attract attention, wraps up his neck with a jaunty scarf, taking all the care as to folding and hanging of the ends, that is common to fastidious ladies. He walks with a careful meass ured tread, as if picking his way among eggs,- the real occasion for which being that he is rather un settled on his rheumatic legs. Alas,, dear Willis 1 we say again. .We remember thee, becurledt befraz zled and perfumed, strutting liko a peacock, and ad mired like one.'j.JSV'e.jsee thee gaunt, consumptive, rheumatic, eeedyj rudely jostled, and almost tumbled OTer, in the1 crowds, that know thee not.
