An Inspiring Letter from a Lad- '". The following extract from a Letter to one of the Editors fcf this VPfr hoUgh ROt in tended for yubliiytioo, we take the liberty of b)ing before our reader,' both on account of the beauty of their diction ami the suul-inspi-rwr patriotism they breathe. The writer has felt" he horrors of this war in all its most bar rowing and painful consequences bat like & true-hearted woman ns he is, nhe bears a spirit if 'resdstance and d fiance to the vile enemy, that should bring shame and remorse t the ("bf.ek and heart of every craven who i is,: races thw name of man, that for a mo ment could think of mbniissiou, re-union, or any kiri'l of tolerance with any of the whole haed Yankee 'nation. We should be much p!c.v5d tu.hear from our fair friend again and ofun; My Pear Friend Strange r-.nd terrible events have passed in startling rapidity across my individual path, as wellas over tiro ftce of our beloved country, since. last I. seated myself to write to you. tint I think no time (.circumstances can mike me forget the hap py social communings we have held together. or induce me to doubt that they form a lUe iigreeable chapter in your reminiscences of the past. This war, this criwl, bloody, un paral leled war, even yet in its monstrous enormity K-Mi.s like some Ii'uUmuis dream, or horrid night-nure, which a bright .Spring sun will one day dispel. A country s prosperous, so b.iKiiilully endowed with every desirable g.iud-r combining ku :1i a variety of soil and productions, surely, wo mi-iht have supposed its every section, acknowledging a mutual de- . . I It ill bv hocks stronger than steel. What a changa hatli intolerant fanaticism wrought ! The spirit manifoting itself in Millerism, Spirit tndUn, Fieri. veism, in its wild delight upon the visit of every sdnger, and theatric, inttd Iectualtitled, "r pugilistic celebrity to their shores ; in th- voluminous records of rminhrs, and oli-cene trial.-, colminated at last in Ab olitionism, and an unbw tiding- determination tr govern, at "Sill hazards, every part of this lair land. What powers of argument and re monstrance were not exhausted ? How our wisest and host mm, in the trim spirit of peacf, bore invective, insolent sneer., and tl.e derisive smile of contempt. Who dops not yet remember how their heart thrilled with surprised, indignation at the contempt with which the olive branch of peace was met ? Who lias not fdt in their own hearts and homes the terrible storm ot uiooustieu ana Tuin that hah since prevailed ? And yet who dares talk of submis.-'on or rewnstructiou, up on any terms ever suggested "by the enemy's repre.enUtivos. O'lr army, glorious m spirit e.s well as deds, sending lack words ol com fort and good cheer from the midst ot priva tions and dangers, should pour untold sbame and contusion upin such craven snub. And how those dear, noble boys plead for cheerful tidings frutn friends, that they may bear up bravely under present Inconveniences, trust CJod an I look hopefully for better times. I had three brother at the commencement of this war. The eldest was idscharged, a vice, with no .prospect of entire restoration to health. His negroes are gone, his provisions, horsed and crts taken; his crockery and cooking utensils broken ; his hogs, sheep, cat tie and poultry killed The second has shared nil the hardships of. the Glh Va. Ilcg't., made one Maryland campaign barefoot, been an exile from home, wife and children since the evacuation of Norfolk : his negroes gone ; hi f imily l-r. ken up ; his wife cursed ; his child rer.s lives threatened ; yet, never has a mur mur, a word of complaint occurred in his al inu.st weekly letters t me. .The third, upon the threshold of Ids youthful . manhood, .fell a victim to disease, ere his sword was stained .with the invader's b.ood, and we laid him be side our dear step-mother's noble son, who had but eleven days before yielded his glori ous young life before the murderous fire of Malvern Hill. With a beloved" husband in the private ranks, a dear old father, son, ai d many friends exposed to the enemy's insults, 1 have never felt but that wc were struggling for every prin :iph; , irnplact d by the Divine luud, which makes life valuable. " In God is our trust ;V if this were engraven upon our hearts, as well as upon our national es cuteheon wi'h such a cause, victory full and complete would surely be. ours. If never before, surely now wc should rally with one mind to the support of bur govern ment ; the encouragement of our noble Presi dent; the maintenance of our invincible ar my, and our provision for their needy families. Hubmissiou and reconstruction are synony mous with complete degradation ; how wa hhould spurn them, and turn our attention on ly to an honorable peace, based upon entire reparation. Who cm think of our armies, made up of our gallant husbands, brothers, sons, lover,, and friends, standing like a wall of adamant betwixt ua and danger, exposed to summer's heat aid winter's cold, ol times without sufficient food, or comfortable cloth ing the turth their bed, a knapsack their " pillow, the sky their covering, keeping their ceaseless watch upon the borders of our coun try, and entertain a thought of deserting them, or tlie cause they have espoused? JSorih Carolina women will never do ill Never I never! And when the tramp of hostile le gions is heord, and' their flaunting banners JiuuaLtu'Uie breeze, how dj North Carolina soldiers deport themselves? Let the proud refrain of the poet answer: o roaring, no doubting thete soldiers shall know, "When here etanis their country, and jonder her foe ; . One' Uok at the sun one prayer to the sky One glance where our banner floats glorioas on high; Then on, as the young lion bounds on his prej, With their arms flashing high, all their fears flung awaj ; They sleep like the thunderbolt over the main, They come back in glorj , or they come not again." God bless them, foiever our gallant, noble boys ;nnd may they become as renowced for Christian virtue as they havo niado them selves famous for invincible bravery. Slight striplings, the pride and hope of mothers' hearts, meridian manhood, silver-haired old age, look at them the noble, self-sacrificing host, and catch the inspiration from them better an bonoi able death, than an inlamous life. FT OLD 8FHIES, 7 VOL. V. J Substitute Decision. CoNEEDERATE STETE3 DISTRICT CoUBT-r- Beforn Judge J.J D. Italy burton February 14, 13C4. In the case of Josiah Black burn, who sought to be discharged from the custody of the conscript officer at Camp Lo, upon the ground that he had furnished a substitute, who waa now in the army, all the constitutional 'questions growing out of the repeal of the section.ol th conncript act al lowing substitutes were argued at great length, and after full consideration, Judjs Ilalburton delived, to-day, a long aud able opinion, overruling all the objections to the late action of Congress placing ' mn who have substitutes ir? tho service, maintained the constitutionality of tho act, and remanded Blackburn to the custody of the conscript officer. The Court thought that the constionality of. the conscription law could hardly bs regarded as an open question after the numerous cases in the various courts of the Confederacy in which its constitutionality has been rtrcognized, if not directly decided upon. - That if it were a now k question, Jhe C.j.urt woukl not proiTuancirthe" 1 aV frbe" uu const i tutiotial. That the Constitution expresslj' gave to Con gress the authority to declare war, and raise ard support, armies, and to pass all laws' which -might be necessary and proper to carry into effect the powers granted ; and that it woukl be unreasonable to suppose that those who made the Constitution intended to vest; iu Congress the power ard the right, at its dis cretion, to put the country in a state of war with the most powerful uation; or wifli all the nations of the globe, and yet deny it the power to carry on such war, except with volunteers, iio matter what the exigency might be. That every line and word iu the Constitu tion of the United Staics, from which" the clause in the Constitution authorizing Con gress to raise and support armies was copied, was weighed and considered by tho Conven tion which framed that Constitution. That we could not suppose that the plan "to raise and support armies" was used by the Convention inadvertently or incautiously. They knew that it was comprehensive enough to embrace the, compulsory as well as the voluntary method of Rising armies ; and it was very difficult, if not impossible, to believe that they" would not hive placed some restric tion upon the method of raising armies, or limited the number or proportion of tho able bodied men of the country who could he put in the army, if they had deisined to do so. or had not meant to avoid doing so. That the right reserved to the States to ap point militia officers was'not in conflict with the power to raise armies by conscription. That the militia were the mi' liable to military duty, who were not iu the regular army. Whtxn they entered the army they were no longer militia; and no longer to be commanded -by State' officers. This is too plain to be controverted, In reference to vol unteers: and the rule must be the same with regard to men put in the army i.i any other way. When they are ouce placed lawfully in the army of the Confederacy, no matter in what' way, they cease to be militia raen. If there could be no army except of volun teers, the States by forbidding, under a penal ty, tho enlistment of volunteers, might pre vent tho Ccnleuerate uoveTiiment trom rais ing an army at all ; or even a singla State, by pursuing such a course, might embarrass the operations of the Government in time of war. That, as to the conscription of men wh had already put iu substitnts under former laws, the Government could not bj nn lerstjod to have contracted with them not to require their services in any emergency. The right to put in a substitute was mere ly a boon, a favor granted to individuals. The government did not desire it. It was not at all for its benefit, nor done at its in stance, and request. It was done soleiy to ac commodate tho party putting iu the substi tute. Under these circumstances, it would surely be unrt asouable, without express words to that effect, admitting of no other interpre tation, to construe the agreement as one by which the government has bounjd itself, never in any exigency, to demand the services of the principal; or as any thing more than an agreement, if it can be called an iigrcement or contract at all, not to require, his services un der existing laws, and in the existing state of the country; not that the law will never be changed,-whatever the necessity may be for it. Such a contract as that last mentioned Con gress have no power to make if they would. They can no more part with the power tore quire the service in the army, when the occa sion demands it, of every able-bodied man in the community, than they can barter away the right to declare war, or to lay and collect taxes. Suppose Congress were to enact that every man in the community, who would pay a consideration, should" forever afterwards be exempt from military service, does any one pose for a moment that such a contract would be binding ? That any future Congress, or the same Congress, could not repeal it after the consideration had been paid ? And what difference of principle can there be, whether the consideration should be a pecuniary one, or in the shape of the services of some oth er man ? Congress is entrusted and invested by the Constitution with the authority to require the services of every man in the Confederacy, without any exception, except in certain cases pointed out by the Constitution itself, oroec essarily implied in some of its provisions, and with this power and trust it is impossible for it to part. It may refuse to execute tha now er, as it may refuse to declare war, or to levy taxes;' but the power to do so still remains, and cannot be parted with. If,.however, Congress might lawfully make such a contract, there is nothing in the Con stitution which prohibits them from violating it. The question of the -right of Congress to pass any law impairing the obligations of its contracts is is one of morality and expediency, and not of Constitutional law; It cannot therefore, properlv be considered by the Courts. The Constitution forbids any State to pas any taw impairing the obligation of contracts, 'but it docs not forbid Congreso from deing so. It declares, it is true, that Congress shall pas.; no 1 expost yac'olaw," but this expression is copied from the Constitution of the United States, and tho Supreme Court of the United States settled the meaning of these words in that I Constitution not to bo applicable except to 1 ' liuunai iava, r Mitt Jl - WiMirUlilJi MM-Mo RALEIGH, N. C-. MONDAY, FEBRUARY 29, This phrase, as we have said, was copied into car Cunstituttoa from the Constitution oT the United Slates; and we cannot doubt that the framcrs of our Constitution were aware of the settled, interprelaliou of it, and intended to adopt it ia tho sense iu which it had Uen used.. If there could b a doubt about this, it would be removed by comparing 'the claim of the Constitution of the Confederate States, which declares that no State shall pass any " ex post fanto law, or law. impairing the illi galion c contracts," with the clause "which provides that Congress shall not piss any'' ex post facto lavr law impairing tho right of property in slaves," leaving out the prohibition' as to contracts. This wouM "not have been done if they had intended to impose the same rcs'riction on the powers, of Congress as on that of the States. It is u ue that Congresacan-exercise ihse powers only which have been 'delegated to it; ami that thern' i no delegation of any general piwer to impairor annul contracts. ' But if in the excerciae of a delegated power, as the pojyerja riaa.aad aupp-wt -armr; it" "should thereby impair or annul some previous contract, there is nothing in the Constitution toj prevent it from doing so. The Court concluded that neltWer the con scription hv,-, nor the law placing ig the mili tary service of the Confederacy men who had furn:shsd substitutes, was unconstitutional ; and therefoi that the petitioner, Blakburn, tboiild be remanded into custody. The above is a very imperfect sketch of the opinion delivered by the Court in the case. For The Confederate. Extract of a letter fro n a. gallant soldier and ofliL-er, whoso appreciation and co-operation we aro glad to r- c?ive: MunrnEKs.jjoRo', February 23, 1864. Me tts EniTotis Enclosed I send you $10, for which I desire you to send to my address a copy of your valuable journal. I have been foitunato enough to get hold of several uu.Tibers of your paper, and am so. much pleased with the b:!d and fci!e.So manner in which it denounces error and d-tfruds truth, that 1 cannot consent longer to remain off your subscription list. Continue to battle in the cause of the South as nobly and a ably a you have done thus far, and ere lng your hearts will be animated and enlivened with the gladsome tidings of an honorable peace a pacc unmixed with base submission to the Northern despot. Our future is ind-ed bright. We have "walked the wilderness with bleeding feet, but the promised land is near." After three years of unexampled hard hip and suffering, with'the Had story of deso lated cities, of-wasted fields, of ruined families, of crippled fortune and of broken hearts written upon every pge of our short but 'eventful h;tory, w? tand forth to-day before he world, proudly trimphauf. The spirit of our veteran ariv-y l stronger ad more defiant to-day "than ever before. Our brave boys want peace. Tiiev wii! hail with inffib!c joy the dawning of the day when the din of cruel war; shall be hushed when the martial music of the fife and drum h dl be suspereded by the sweet song of peace when tne march of armies shall give "v:iy to the march of in dustry and civilization when ? pears shall be turned into pruning books and swords into pi - uhdiares when tho G ddoss of liberty, lolding away the blood-stained banner of war, shall wear upon her wounded tosom the heal ing olive branch of peace. But they scorn aud contemn a peace which will bring in its train shrvne and disgrace for themselves and their offspring. Sooner, by far. say they, let us' die upon the tented field and Icava war us our only legacy to our wives and little ones, than to wear the chain of slavery, now sought to be riveted upon our free limbs by the des pot of the North. This is the spirit of the army. Oh 1 that it could diffuse itself among the masses nt home. Affairs at Chattanooga. Vigilance of the Yankees. The editor of the Atlanta Regis ter has had an interview with a gentleman who has had occassh'U to frequently pass the Federal lines at various points. He informs the Register that he spent last week in fruit less endeavors to pass from Da'ton into Ten nessee. He says that it is utterly impossible to get beyond, the Federal outposts. The maia rords are not watched hal f ?o closely as the hidden paths through the woods and moun tains, and sentinels are more numer uoat n;g!it than iu daylight. Such watchfulness has never been exerc scd by any Federal comman der as by Gye-neral Grant. Our friend says that surely some movment is cntemplated by the enemy, the concealment of -which is of the utmost im portor.ee. He says that great numbers of Fe leral trocps are being brought down the river on steamboats from Kpoxville, while very few go that direction by railroad. An intelligent Union man, a citizen of east Tennessee, stated to our informant that Federal officers declared that the small pox would whip them if the rebels did not. The abandonment of most. of the country was for this reasou a matter of necessity. ' " . Unionists have suffered and lost .as much by Federal highwaymen as Southerners. The great mass of tha people this side of Knoxvil'.e draw supplies from Federal comrnis- Bancs. Thousands have gone into Kentucky and Middle Tynncssee. Last Tennessee was to be redeemed bT tho appearance of Federal armies. It is becomming an uninhabited bar ren waste. Disease, destitution, helpless poverty, and haggard want follow in the train of Uuion armies. m r ii ! .i l 1 tie toiiowing omciai uispaxcn na neeu received at tho War Department in Rich mond : CiiABLtsToir, Feb. 23. 2:15 P.
