These 6ixmonlhs after-peace notes are just
beginning to possess a distinctive and ex

more than ever eager to frighten the peo

selves. Thi8istho explanation of a fact,
which, under any other hypothesis would
be inexplicable. Have the people good
common sense ? Are they quite willing to
bo fleeced by a gang of unconscionable

people should be mado poor in order that
they may grow rich f

Suspecting Private- Property.
The following is Gen. Lee's'order to his
army relative to private property.
Headquarters Army Northern Va.
Chambersburg, Pa., June 27, 1863.
General Orders, No. 73. The Comman
ding General has-observed with marked
satisfaction the conduct of the troops on the
march, and confidently anticipates results
commensarato with the high spirit they
have manifested.
No troops could have displayed gt eater
fortitude, or better performed tbo arduous
marches of the past ten days.
Their condect in othor respects has, with
few exceptions, been in keeping with their
character as soldiers, apd entitles them to
approbation and praise.
There have, however, been instances of
forgetfulness on the part of some
in keeping the yet unsullied reputa
tion of this army, and that the duties ex.
acted of us by civilization and Christianity
are not less obligatory in the country of the
enemy than in our own.
Tho Commanding General considers
that no greater disgrace could befall the
Army, and through it our whole people,
than the perpetration of the barbarous out
rages upon tho unarmed and defenceless,
and the wanton destruction of private prop
erty, that havo marked the course of tho
enemy in our own country.
Suoh proceedings not only degrade the
perpetrators and all connected with them,
but are subversive of the discipline and ef
ficiency of the Army, and destructive of the
ends of our present movement.
It must bo remembered that we m.ike
war only upon armed men, and that we
cannot take vengeance for the wrong our
people have suffered without lowering- our
selves in the eyes of all whose abhorrence
has been excited by the - atrocities of oar
enemies, and offending against Him to
whom vengeance belongeth, without whoso
favor and support our efki ta must all prove
in vain
'V
The Commanding General therefore eai-
nestly exhorts the troops to abstain, with
most scrupulous care, from unnecessary or
wanton injury to privato property, and he
enjoins upon all officers to arrest and bring
to summary punishment all who shall in
any way offend against the orders on this
subject. K. K. LEE, GenenJI.

Conscription of Foreigners. Judge
Magratb, Dibtrict Judge of the Confederate
States, in South Carolina, has, after caret
ful consideration, made an important de
cision as to tho liability of foreigners to
military service. Wo stato the case and tho
psinciples decided :
Henry Spincken is a German by birth,
and has been in this country seven years,
but has never bcen naturalized. At the
secession of the State ho voluntarily incor
porated himself in a company of militia,
and participated in tho contest which re
sulted in tho fall of FortSumter. On tho
ground that he was an alien, and never in
tended to remain in this country, he now
applies for the Writ of habeas corpus to
obtain from the Court his discharge from
the military servico of tho Confederate
States under its Conscription Law. Juige
Magrath refuses his application for the
Writ of habeas corpus, and states tho law to
be as follows :
Under whatever Government one may
be', while he remains under its authority he
receives tho benefit of its protection, and
in return gives to it obedience. That obe
dience supplies the place of tho allegiance
hoowedtotho domicil of his origin. II
that Government becomes involved in
war with the Government to which his
pcrmanent'allcgiance is due, tho implied
prnffo" of hospitality and protection under
which ho was received ceases. He be
comes then an alien enemy, and tho pre
sumption is that ho will return to his own
country. If the war is not with tho coun
try to which he owed pornvancnt allegi
ance, but with somo other, he has tho option
of departing from the beiligercnt country
or continuing there his abode. If ho con
tinues there his abode, ho does so under
the general rule which regulates his rela
tions with it in peace. That is, obedience
to its laws and temporary allegiance, in
return for tho protection he receive. That
allegiance is in part due and to bo rendered

fonco is to be mado in tbo manner which j
the Government may consider best. Ant! i
the ritrht of the Government to call upon ;
that porson to contribute to the public
defence is as perfect as and is co-extensive
with the right it has to make tbat call upon
its own citizens. Tho rule of tho law can
not bo better stated than by tho Court of
Appeals in Great- Britain" by tho gener
al law, all foreigners resident within the
British dominions incurredall the obliga
tions of British subjects'
Soldiers of the Oldkn Time. The
Emperor Carcalla was wont continually to
march on foot, completely armed, at the
head of his army. The Roman infantry
t rrld not on,7 th belmet,
aword and shield (for as to our arms, says
Cicero they were ao accustomed to have
them always on that they were no more
trouble to them than their own limbs,) but
nwreovor, fifteen days' provision, together
with a certain number of piles or stakes
wherewith to fortify their camp, to sixty
pounds weight. And Marians'a soldiers,
ladened to the same weight, ware inured to
march in battalia five leagues in fire hours,
and sometimes, upon an urgent occasion,
six. Their military disciplino was much
ruder thau ours, and, accordingly, pro
duced much greater effocts. Tho vounnr
rScipio, reforming his army in Spain, or-
uereu nis soldiers to eat standing, and
nothing that was dressed. Tho jeer that
was given a Laceda-monian soldier is
marvellously put to tho matter, who, in an
expedition of war, was reproached to havo
been seen under the roof of a house. They
were so inared to hardship that, let tho
weather be what it would, it was a shame
to bo seen under any other cover than tho
roof of Heaven. " Wo should not march
our people very far at that rate," remarks
Montaigne, in concluding tho account, nor
is it likely the militia around Richmond
could stand it longer than a week or two.
Moral Granhki r What is moral gran
deur? It is tho singular combination of
the most pure and elevated principles, and
eminent virtues, Drought inta action by un
common impulses and formidable difficul
ties and conflicts. It is not produced in the
calm stream of peaceful life, when? strug
gles are comparatively nothing, and wher
all may attain to tho beauty of moral ex
cel.'ence. It is formed in tho crisis of mor
al convulsions. It is tho noblest energy of
man meeting with conscious rectitude, an
paralleloa" lirmnoss, and unruflled spirit,
tho severe assaults of tho tremendous pow.
ers of darkness. It is born in tho hour of
some awful civil hurricane, and nursed
amidst the tempos is of lifo. It rides on the
vollied lightnings of a revolution, and con.
ducts them away with safety and blessing,
its features are painted nn the dark can
vass of tho retiring clouds of distress, with
all tho grace and magnificent coloring of
tho rainbow. It holds dominion over eve
ry cvtf'passion, and it is the faultless mo
del of self-government and unbendino in
tegrity. It is a spirit of simplicity, that
rises above, and disdains the external dec
oration of lifo. It aims at the public good,
without tho alloy and pollution of selfish
ness ; and accomplishes its lofty purposes
only by means, that the loftiest spirits of
heaven would approve. It finds nothing
in the univer.-o to weigh against freedom
and truth. It regards the divine law, tho
obligations of duty, the judicial majesty of
conscience, above sill tho ineanaces ol peril,
the insidious eloquence of private interest,
and the tempting overture of personal ag
grandizement. Amidst . the imperious
claims of virtue and truth, it surrenders
when required, everything, nud even lifo
itself as a triumphant sacrifice, without
hesitation or regret, with a firm step, a &o
raphic serenity of demeanor, and a martyr-
.like zeal and majesty.
The sea is the largest of all cemeteries,
and its blumbcrers sleep without monu
ments. AU other graveyards in all other
lands show some symbol ot distinction be
tween the great and small, tho rich and
the poor, but in that ocean cemetery tho
satno waves roll over all.
