Wean taken to tak in the matter of our article on tho corpi.? by our neighbor T the Gmsrrcalioc, who thinks we have done the Legislature very great injustice. We are very mi re of one thins, d that ig tbt jus tick i about the la.-t desirable thirty. for the m ijority of that body, if they or their friends should he consulted. Let us see how, if we have in any wie misrepresented the "Personal Liberty Bill," in passed by that body : It was the offspring ' Mr. Nathanial Hoyden, of whom Mr. Hol dn many times Snid he 'iVan abolitionist and a lory "the child therefore has all the prima fade qualities, which are obnoxious in the father. It wa infroducod by him just in the manner that a "cute" but not over-scrupulous yankco would do 1 a smart trick. The Legislature hail determined to adjourn on Mond-iy. ft was now Situ relay morning it required two-thirds of the House to get the bill through-ill thee mrseof that-day, or of any day. Mr. U ydeu cunningly waited untjl many numbers of t!io minority bad left for home had left under the impression that no new important mvisure would be urged at that period of the session. With Southern gentlemen tirfa was a legitimate supposition ; but it was not 'so with Mr. Boyden. It was just the sUto of ihing adapted to his shrewd calculation. lie i;kJ guessed how many had probably left, and ascertained -ihtf number lo could control to put through his trick. It was not either, an alter-thought with Mr. Boy den. Ie had had this bill in his pocket all thowMsion. It had bean prepared by him, to meet tho facts in a very case which ho had lcalt with iw counsel; aad its object and purpose, w;wj if possible, to produce a collision between tho State Government and the Con federacy ; and advantage wad taken of the last hours of the session to put through this act of distinct and unequivocal nullification. Tho la of Congress requires the officer to m .ko a return without bringing the body of the person held in custody, and "as to whom" iho-AaVj-w corpus has issued; and' it pro iMnrices tint return suffiiient, if it alleys tho arrest to have been made under either'of the cms Hf-t. fM-Lli in the act, and thereupon the proceedings shall caiso. But this bill of Mr. Boyden 'h enacts" that any person as to whom :v writ of habeas corpus has been issued and wrvrd, who wilfully fails or refuses, under any prctcnoa whatever, to obey the mandato thmsof, Mr the orders of the judge or the court thereon. &j.f shall be guilty of a high misde meanor, and be fined not less than one thou sand dollars and imprismed not less than one year. Now let in look at the operation of this act: We will say that Mr. Boyden implies to .Judge Pearson for a writ of habeas corpus, to by directed to Col. Mallett, Orderin" him to bring the body of Tubal Gain, to show cms., why he b detained in th custody of the said Mallott : Col. Mallett is served with this writ, and returns thereon "Tubal Cain in in my custody tinder tho order of the Sccrc t iry of War. as a person charged with treason against the Confederate Stites.!' Here is a re turn in .strict conformity with tho act of Con and thereupon by virtuo of that act, .Judge I'earsou should su.pcnd the proceedings.' But Mr. Boydon's bilUiys, noCjf. Malfett must bring Tubil Cain before the judge. It is a high misdemeanor in him not to do it; and being a duty whosn neglect is a niisdo-m.-aiiM,-, it ih a contempt of the process of a judge, for wtueh an attachment must issue. Thereupon au lutachment does issue. ad a sheriff 15 acnt tn execute ik, and Col. Mallett, under the further order of Government, must rvsist, or by submission acknowledge the ina bility of tho Confederate Government to main tain its own authority. Jf he resist, the sheriff will summon his posse, and Col. Mallett his guard and this is collision to be followed by further antagonism, wheu Jhe Governor is called on to employ the militia to aid the sheriff, and Col. Mallett calls out a regiment to support tho Government. And this is the attitude towards each other that Mr. Boyden would bring tha people of this State ; for let our people understand, that this militia, and this regiment of Confederate troops, that would thus bo brought face to face with loaded rifles, would be all North Carolinians. And how is the thins; to be prevented ? We pay this .state of things may occur, without the possibility of a decision by any tribunal to avert or arrest it. Tno only remainiug ques tion is, was there any personal liberty infringed in North Carolina, to such a degree as to re quire this undisguisedly hostile legislation against our own Government ? It Cannot be asserted. -On tho contrary, the Confederate . Government has most studiously deferred to the State judiciary, before acting on the main question which provokes controversy ; and in a few weeks, when a decision of the Supreme Court can be had on the. constitutionality of the act of Congress, the question may be settled. For, if the at be sustained, the matter is ended ; but if the act be pro nounced unconstitutional, then the citizen b riot ItR Unprotected; for coniQiiabioners sworn under the same solemnities as judges, bound by the snme obligations ne" judges, sit ting as judges, these commissioners them selves being our own citizens, try the dispu ted cases, and if they are not discharged,' they are delivered over for. trial before the Con federate conrts wherein a judge presides who is as much a North Carolinian as any other judge. To this reasonable, safe course, Mr. Holden and his associates ia the passage f that bill, prefer nullification for we repeat it is neither more nor less and as we said before, if Mr. BoydeD could be the detailed officer through whom the collinou is to oc cur, we should heartily desire to see the ex periment essayed, of trying the strength of the Confederate Government. "But we-give him(Col. ilcRaciuoUce, that if the war should be in progress on the 1st of January, 1865; and he should be a conscript,, as he was when Gov. Vance saved him from service bv nflt requiring him to settle his accounts, we shall not interfere to shield him from the Yankee bullets." The foregoing is a "specimen brick" from Mr. Holdcn's kiln, made out of hw own dirt, with his own bands, and burnt with his own fire, as a specimen of bis adaptation to tbat kind of work which most Knows up " tha author. It is a finished execution a dead traitor on a gallows after thirty minutes hanging, U not more fished. .This is the grave view of the subject. The jocular side of the picture is irresistible the fancy of beiDg Governor. We, "Governor, Wuuhfnot shield," &c. When .iftsop clothed his ass in tbe Lion's skin, and saw the old fellow shake the Lion's mane, his own long ears shaking by tho same process, it tickled JEsop, .that an ass could have so much conceit. But when he raised his voice to roar, and braged and still did'nt know his own tune, but- still continued to imagine himself a Lion, JEon broke out into actual hysterics, and the joke had like to have been the death of him. We feel very much the same affliction of mirth at .this similar effort by Mr. Holden's similar fancy, and similar exposure. "We shall not shield hira from Yankee bHllets." Mr. Holden is not likely to be ap- applied to by anyone as a shield from danger, so as long as recollection is retained of how sugnt a snield be afforded to the ladies of his owu family, on an occasion when, if he had any material oat of which a shield could be manufactured, it would have been forthcom ing, to preserve those who had a claim to be shielded, from rudeness and annoyance, even if U cost hira his life. On that occasion, according to his own confession in tho Standard of May the 13th, ho played tho "shield," "by imme- wwere not sajc on the premises. " We will not shikld." That's tru? ; for if bullets should ever come about, that shield would retire to some premises where it would be safe and as it "went a-tearing" to the Gov ernor s mansion, and in at the back door, when Gov. Vance was the proprietor, in the event that that were its own place to "hang up,1' we don't know where it would "tearaway to;" and besides it would serve no useful purpose; for if we were advancing towards the enemy, the "shield" would be behind ; RDd if we were re tiring, it would be-before; and so, useloss all the time. And this is j-ist one of the reasons why we oppose Mr. Holden that the exposure of that scene ought to satisfy any man who sets any value on chivalrous and couiageous character, that an appropriate representative of these qualities is not te be found in the chief actor of that scene. rroniolloiw. V It afford us very great pleasure .to bo al lowed to announce tho promotion of Bri. Gen; Hamseur to be Major General, and oTLt. Col.' Muftis Barringer to be Brigior Owieral, to take command of Gordon's -brigade. These are promotions well earned, and dll enure to the benefit of the service. We bave heard also, that Col. Grimes has been, made Briga dier General. We know no nftioer more de serving than Cai. Grimes. It hac Jong 'ago been considered by all h)n associates, that he had won hw promotion , and as well because e . i ui uur personal esteem for him as because of onr knowledge of his military worth, we re joice to hear of his advancement. There is a further report of the promotion of Gen. Ransom. This would be an appointment peculiarly grateful the people of this State. Gen. Ransom has made his brigade especially nsefulin North Carolina;. and bis brilliantT management of tbe affair at Plymouth has not leeo surpassed in the war. Indeed we could wish to bear that all our brave and heroic rep resentatives in - the field could have their re ward. Gen. Martin and Colonels Cix 'and Clarke, and many others less known to us for North Carolina can boast of a proud array ef merit in Le's army, and Johnston's, in which latter far off and less heard of, Cole man and his associates have been wreathing their own and the brow of the State with inv perishable laurels. Press Dispatches. There is a screw unquestionably loose in the transmission of Telegrams to the members . of the Press Association. Yesterday. Sundav. the 5th, we received by telegraph from Richmond, full accounts of the same which re published in the Richmond papeis of Saturday morning, the 4th4 and which we received here twelve hours ahofld of the telegraph, of the battle between Gen. Lee and Grant, on Friday the 3rd. These dispatches we ought to have received on Friday night. We received also on yesterday, dispatches from New Hope and Atlanta, dated Juno 2nd, which onght to have been received on Friday night.' And we copy to-day from the Petersburg Express, dis patches of the 2nd, from both those points, which have never been sent to us at all. Are we members of the Association.

The War Xews, We give in our columns this morning, most glorious news from Gen. Lee's army north of Richmond. He has well nigh used up Grant's army and if he offers battle much longer, he will be exterminated. Johnston, in Georgia is wearing out Sher man, and Beauregard Butler's forces. The j day breaks. The battle yesterday and the eveniog before was a desperate and bloody one for the enemy Ihcy were mowed down like charged oar fortifications. A gentleman who has been through the war tells us that he never saw a field so literally strewn with dead xau. ye near ot several estimates of their loss, but the most reasonable one, and one made by a gentleman who was over the field, thinks that it could not have been less than six thousand in killed and wounded Oar loss was comparatively slight, most of trie tgb ting ha vin2 been done by us behind Dreast- works. It is thought that It will not exceed some five hundred in killed and wound- r ? fereat portion of our wounded but slightly injured. THE LATEST.
