Sf - " The decision of Judge Pearson threatens a eriou conflict with the Confederate Govern- merit, unless atepa are t" once resolved on to prevent it. This decision carries no authority, and ought not to carry any. It is adverse to the decision of very Judge, in evety other State, so far as we have heard. It in ad verse to Judge Pearson's own decisions made in the case of the Fayetteville Bank, and in that of the Wilmington and Raleigh K. R. In both of which, under far inferior necessi ties, the violation of a contract by the sov ereign wa3 upheld and justified. But the f rc of th'13 decision is further weakened, by the settled public opinion, that it is in accord ance with fixed predjudices and sympathies, and not tho result of unbiased legal convic tion. 'Tne public were as well satisfied before it was made, how it would be, as after it was done. Indeed, the general rumor has it, tint on several occasions the Chfcf Justice had committed himself, in writing, against the act of Congress, so explicitly as to make any ar gument a mere absurd form, or the'presence of oihr Judges for coniidlation a useless cere mony. But the decision is now made and added thereto is the further ruling : "That . the suspension of the Jlxbeat Corpus does not apply in these cases." Tho Government will hold that it does md it? fibers will neither obey Judge Pearson's , writ, nor his summons but will proceed to sen! the conscripts to tho can p. Then, tho rjjo-3tion arises, will any Ju lgo attach tho offiocra ? If he do, tho tfii3cr will resist under orders, and employ his command iu self-defence. Tho Sheriff will th ;n summon h'a po3se, ami Government' will strengthen its uflijer. Tho .Government being still tho struiigor, ths ministerial odiior will cill up m tho Governor And there the dread responsi bility at last will ivst. " Unless wisdom and prudence, and patriotic duty shall ci.it rol the Judjes, an issua may be cprungof a most dangerous character. What is the duty of a Judge under such circumstances ? Why, clearly, to abstain to rcconsidflT and stop. The act of Congress and its meaning are too clear for dispute. Its pur pose, aa shown by tha proviso to the 5th sec tion, u to prevent "all attempts to avoid military si-imce,'' by placing the whole ques tion of liability under tho control of the War Department.. By this means only could uni formity, justice, and above all, the overriding necessity of tha nation bi met. Tho Govern ment now cannot shrink from tho full dis charge of the duty imposed nor can it wait until June when the Curt .meets ; for before then the fato of tho nation may be decided. Tho soldier, brave and heroic, but few in num ber, liaa appealed for every possible supply to till his ranks. Ho has re-enlisted for him self, and will door dio ; but ho would rather to do and to this end, du. has implore! tha Government to bring to his m le the idle and useless thousands at home, wii have too long bocn sheltered oehin 1 his courageous service. The Government will do it. It can't :ifford to wait on Judgo Peirsou or any other Judge. Besides, when tho Court moots, even if the two other Judges differ, it will at last carry 110 authority, as the decision of an appellate tribunal. It woti'd bj tho m2ro dictum of t vo Judgsi against one. This would not bind even Judge Pearson ; for he has already committed himself to be bound by the act of tho fir&t Judge; (a3 ws have heard,) yet now, lie has receded from this position. . So, that there remains no escape, but by prudence and discretion. The acts of tha government must be prompt and up to the necessity of the case. And if a Judge shall place himself in th attitude of aiding the conscript to desert, or of encouri giag desertion or if he shall give "aid a:il comfort" to the enemy by using his judicial process to deprive the government of the ser vico of those who owe it, that Judge may be in danger of treason and in these days of dark danger, no obstacle must, impede the cause of independence and safety. On a trial for this species of treason, the mere construction of the act of Congress would determine the crime and Judge Biggs is clothed with an authority of opinion quite as ample as that of any State Judge. The condition of things in North Carolina must be met, and frill be met. If extreme measures become necessary, they will be adop ted. For ourselves we are free to say, rather, if a blow must fall, let it strike the guilty who "know what they do. Vc pity the poor and ig norant. The criminal who knows better, is ths proper subject for punishment, and for exam ple. No, the govcrnmcut cannot retard its ac tion intil June, for then thousands of useful arms would bo lost in tho most important mo ments of the nation's necessity and the spirit ofthosointhe field will be depressed by the intelligence that these sleek, oily, well-fed and doubly-paid "principals have made their escape. Policy, justice, necessity forbid the government to delay. . Its action will be right and proper, and that will fix the guilty responsibility where ver it may: belong. - ' r " ' Brig. Gen. Baldwin was killed by a fall from his horss at Mobile, recently, Tho glorious spirit of the Ti oops, evinced in the chivalrous- emulation in the re-enlist-; mrnt for the war the response cf the P,eil dent bv an Address to the Army replete with a bold and manly accusation of the nefarious nanuses of our foes with a hopeful assurance of our ultimate success, and a touching ro- j cognition cf the soldier's claim upon tne J nation's confidence and the people s gratituus aWonce gave comfort and yyo the heart of tho country.' CoDgress has met its grave responsibilities with a like patriotic firmness, and advanced itself to the standard of tho popular expecta tions. A series of measures, well matured, deliberately discussed and thoroughly examin e 1, have been passed fur the increase ol the army-the restoration of the currency U;e further support cf the war the administration of supplies from . abroad the correction of evil practices by speculators and extortioner, and the adaptation of the people to the eQono mies and restraints necessarily incident to tho raging revolution and, not the least of their wise legislation, the withdrawal of a sacred prerogative of JhejState and privilege of the - CM m. . subject from that abuse which was fast run ning it into a political machine of evil. At the close of its labors, in the spirit of a public servant who felt his responsibility to tho public and who desired the public appro val, Congress did put forth an Address to the Nation, worthy in style and matter of the oc casion, of the body making, and of the consti tuency to whom it is dedicated. It is known to have emanated from tire pen of Mr. J. L. M. Curry, of Alabama. .It bears the irapres of a master mind calm, tempe rate, moderate it exposes the causes of our separation, the injustice of our enemies, their horriblo atrocities and inhumanitics,-and their ulterior purpose of subjugation and destruc tion. Inthe game temper it displays our loug forbearance our united action in effecting the separation the legal and constitutionaf medium through which we formed our new alliance, carry a universality of conviction among tho people, that the new Government ia the child of lawjustead of sedition of right instead of violence of deliberation instead of insurrection. The whole address is a monument to Mr. Curry's capacity as writer ; to his ability as a statesman,- and to his character as a christian. It is at the same time an instruc tive guide to tho nation. It marks in precise and sententious terms, our anxiety for peace ; and defines within explicit boundaries the conditions of its acceptance. It recapitulates the evidences of our desire for peace, to be found in tho oft-expressed sentiments of the press, of our public speakers and assemblies, . in the consecutive efforts of our Government to enter upon negotiations at least to modify tlie-inhumauities of war. It contrasts the sullen, malignant and repeated spurns of our offers, aud the contemptuous rejection of all terms of conciliation and compromise by our enemies, with our own frequent expressions of desiro for its advent ; and it sums up in tho .presentation of the late Resolution passed by ' the Federal House of Representatives the List defiant and vindictive determination of those who assail us to opp jso propositions for peace, to prosecute the war, and to enforce if possible their hateful domination on our people. Thus fortifying its position with im pregnable bulwarks built upon the right the truth the justice of our. cause the necessity of our defence, and of maintaining it by the power of our strength ; it rests upon the logi cal conclusion, that until a change of policy indicates' a change of feelings on the side of the enemy "any direct overtures for peace "would compromise our self-reapect, be fruit less of y5od, and interpreted by the enemy m "as an indication of weakness. We can only "repeat the desire of tho people for peace, and "our readiness to accept-terms consistent "with the honor and integrity and indepen dence of the States, and compatible with the "safety of our domestic institutions." This announcement of Congress is recipro cated by the patriotic public. We would gladly hail peace on the terms submitted nothing less would suffice, except to recreants ami traitors. If any remnant of wisdom yet rcnains to the North, a party strong enough to put down abolition fanaticism may arise and succeed ; and may propose to meet us on these fair and reasonable ground. The people may be assured that our Government would lose not a moment in welcoming this overture, and in entering upon tho necessary negotiations. In the mean time, the agitating and silly projects of State action, would but weaken the chances of such an overture, and lead to division among our selves. Tho duty of patriotic men is to aid the Government to put forth our njilitary strength to fill the army to provide for its comfort to sustain the poor at home, and leavo th6 constituted authorities in their several spheres to the performance of their duty untrammelled by "agitations agita tions which produce no good which only . bring to the surface selfish politicians and weak, vain men, whose aspirations are satisfi ed with notoriety, while the people at large are disturbed and discontented. Away with all such and let us wait upon our Government on our indomitable soldiers the instruments, under a merciful and all wisa Providence, by whom our deliverance is to be effected. lie v.

The President was again and sgain urged to dismiss from his councils an iccomps-J tent and useless ofiicer. The President, with that wisdom and prudence which mark a just and discriminating mind, refused to yield to popular climor, but at once responded to the call of Congress. A committee was appointed, with full power j j lt,A i invest.gation, and in the Mal ory courted the language of the report "offered all infotmatiou j under his control and every facility for obtain- ing it he could employ," in order to a complete sifting inquiry. Evidence has been taken to fill a volume, and the result not only exone rates Secretary Mallory from every specific fault which has been laid to his charge, but the committee, by an unanimous decision, re port That the testimony does not furnish any " sufficient grounds for imputing the Short " comings, failures and disasters of our Navy " to the Secre'tary ; oa the contrary, it shows that he has been vigilant, industrious and en " ergetic in employing the means within his " power to purchase and build a navy." 0Mr Mallory, while in the United States Sen ate, had been for a long time on the committee of Naval affairs, and its chairman in the Sen ate. He bad acquired an experience of many .... a- i i ii L . years' intimate official association with the best 3 . 'tt t a i i officers of the old Navy. He had devoted much labor and study to this branch of the public service; and he carried the confidence cf the body, which again and again entrusted him with the interests of the navy. The present investigation is a just tribute of approval to a faithful officer, and justifies to the President and country the fitness of his ap pointment and retention. Those Georgia Resolutions. A VERY WRONG WRIGIIT. It will be recollected that a Mr. Wright of Georgia, introduced into tho House of Rep resentatives of the late Congress, certain feacb resolutions. We have forborne heretofore to notice them, although they for a moment gave much comfort to the agitators in this Slate, because the disposition of them was so curt and summary, that we were content to see them die, as they did, like a pig with knife in his throat one spurt, a squeal and a kick. But wo have lately been accurately inform ed of their fate and tids is the recital ol the birth, life, and death of this other "cradlo joy " a legitimate twin brother of our own "joic du bcrceau." (Mr. Dick will pleasso translate. This Mr. Wright on one day when the States were called for resolutions, offered a paper tube read at the Clerk's table contain ing resolutions. A member immediately en quired what they were? and was informed tbey were peace nEOLUTioNs anJ there upon before they reached the jeading desk, the IIouso went into secret session. 1 hey never were read never recrived of course never considered. But, aftur Mr. Wright gave them out to be printed, it was found, that like our own " State action," they squinted at " terms with the enemy," and reconstruc tion whereupon, a member prepared a reso" lution for the expulsion of Mr. Wright ; but before it could be presented, this worthy took leave of absence. " They missed" him on the accustomed hill, ' Nor up the road, nor by the brook was ho." We won't vouch for tha quotation, but the application we stand by. And no more did Mr. Wright make his ap pearance during the session. He, his resolu tions, and his intended Buncombe, all went off together like a pinched out tallow candle a little smoke, a disagreeable odor, and then forgot. Such will be the fato of any igno rant and fool-hardy agitator, who may ven ture in the next Congress to tamper with its patriotic temper. Senator Dortcb. In striking contrast with the position taken by Mr. Read in his short life of Senatorial duty, is the attitude maintained and the charac ter earned by our other Senator, Mr. Dortch. In our intercourse with members of that body we were greatly gratified to find that tie representatives from North Carolina whom we last named, had iuspired a universal re spect for, and confidence in his practical busi ness qualities. He has been a fast supporter of the cause and of the Government, and well merits the public commendation -for his useful and valuable Eervice. The appointment of Mr. Davis to the Da partment of Justice.and to membership of .his Cabinet, is another assurance from the President of his good disposition towards Not th Carolina. Wh2n history shall do her justice, it will ba seen that as well in his frank and unreserved official intercours with Governor Vancj as in all other matters the Tresi- dent has eudeavored in a marked aud earnest manner to render justice to the State.

Persons who have friends among thosa prisoners whose names begiu With either of the above initials, should address them at Poiut Lookout. Wo hope it is an en route movement for their cxchingo. The assignment by the President of Central Braxton Bragg to duty kt the Seat cf Govern ment, is a distinguished testimonial to the worth and value of this able Soldier and true Patriot; while the concurrent approval of Gens. Cooper, Lee, Johnston and Beauregard, car ry the weight of an authority that must silence opposition. The country c.uld not afford to lose the services of Gen. Bragg, and North Car olina glories in beiug the mother of such ster ling merit. The brilliant success now achieving in a de partment under the command also of another of her sons, who is reverenced and cherished by her for his ancestral and individual worth, brings to the State proud self-satisfaction. Who shall question her renown, when the fu ture will be filled with the deeds of these her illustrious representatives. A Good Hint. The Charleston Courier gives the papers in Alabama a wholesome hint, which some of the Press in other States might appro priate with benefit. It says : Some of our exchanges in Alabama may be reminded without dictation, that their issues may reach Sherman as soon as a large portion of their Confederate readers. It may be well to omit details as to places, purposes, or numbers although the tempta tion to editorial strategy and advice is very strong. For The Confederate.. Greensbobo', N. C, Feb. 24.
