Emtors: Aliboagh the conn trv baa been recently favored with n ,Liborato decision, in whioh majority of our Supremo Court Jadgea hare nd io due form of law, m. CoQrt belve. and the Circn; r.ght tQ ,zm?; judges of oar Sd.on wilh tU conrJo( the Confederate States, in regard to" the writ of Habeas Corpus, I am still dispoapd as on bumtle citizen, and without that profound knowledge of th intricacies and technicalities of the law, which is so generally accorded to the legal profession to arraign tho policy as well as the legality of this writ, whenever issued by a State Jude lo behalf of an indmdVal icAo is in controversy with the Confederate Government, an to a matter of arrest, under its authori ty either civil or military. And at the samo lime, let me assure you, I ara not disposed to yield to any man, in my respect for tho law, and io my regard and veneration for a discreot, judicious, and upright Judge. Butl have long since dis covered, that oar Judges, are all ''men of liko passions," with tho rest of mankind, and manifestly liable to err that they do sometimes err, both in their opinions and judgements, and also in conduct, and us u consequence, that they are not infalli ble. I am therefore constrained to believe that the decisions of the class above refer red to, are all perhaps erroneous, and 1 am fully awaro in assuming this position, that 1 am exposing myself at least to the thurge of ignoranco and presumption, bat ixh a linn and devoted friend of my country, 1 am still as I trust ablo nevertheless to render a roason for tho laith that is in me." It iit evident to every man of reflection, that no decision of any of the Slate Courts, can possibly settle tko question of Cou icription liability, with uny degree of uni formity und justice, and it would therefore that this question should havo boen remited unhesitatingly, and in good faith by our State Judges to that jurisdiction which is co-extensivo with tho Confederate States. And I do insist with due delTerence to tho opinions of others, that moderate respect for tho Confederate Courts, (if thcro existed no higher consideration) should cortaiuly havo dictated this course, as eminently anil proper. But in ordar to present more fully the difficulties and inconiititances which natur ally environ tho question as decided by oar Supreme Court, it is only necessary to sag gust this fuel. Jf our Judges aro riht. -i Of men witu equal propriety, any of the otb or States may claim and exercise the same authoiity, and in so doing, any of. them may recerse within their limited jurisdic tion, iho local decisiou of our Supreme Court. Chancellor Inglis of South Caroli ,1U has already two cases undor writs of Ha beas Corpus, involving precisely the princi pies ol the J. X Min case of Jiockingham, wuuii was mauettie basin of the final do ci.iouby ojr highost judicial authority. .. . ,i i . . . . . . . J iiw waa cvnsirainca under his views of iuo iav, to command the prisoners to the custody of iho military officers of the com mon government. The two cases decided by tho South Carolina Judge aro referred to in tho newspaporsof fhe day, "resting on tho ground, chiefly, that tho applicant in each case, had previously furnished a sub stitute, and therefore was exempt." Hot withstanding, uh substitute though not within tho Conscript ago at the time of bis reception, had in each case becomo himself liable for duty under the extension of tho Conriptagetoforty.five." By the way this decission sustains most clearly the views advanced by me, through your paper on the 14th of last May. It mar bo contended as I am apprised with somo plausibility, that cur State Judges are bound to grant this "groat writ of right," "whenever an application is made n behalf of a person who is in actual con finement, or restrained of his liberty," but I affirm wlthont tho fear of contradiction, " that whenever a prisoner is brought bo. lore a StatoJudgo under ihh writ, then his discretion commences, and he acts under no other responsibility than that which be long to the exercise of ordinary judicial power, and so eoon as he has examined the ciurn an J papers." If it should then ap.

A thousand evils have already resulted from these decisions, and a thousand more at I apprehend may be found in the fnture not the least of which may be a conflict of authority betwen the Confederate and State governments, which in all probabili ty under the inflaence of factious and un scrupulous party ha.ks, may' be m6, means, by which to lead thengj " lificatio. or .cce..ion.oVn 0lD6r deioUtf cipitate the couq-. a ki,w? -solution. aDd ! CONSERVATIVE OF STOKES. November 1st, 1803. From tfca Aabvilla Nowo. FROM THE FRONT. Last week tho Federals eracuated the Warm Springs, falling back a few miles be yond the State Jin. Two hundred of oar cavalry crossod tbc mountain, and went within 10 miles of Greenville, bat in return ing the Yankee caralry made a dash upon their rear, capturing thrto men and two wagons. They again occupy the Springs in strong force Geo. Vance's headquarters are at Marshall. . His Excellency Governor Vanes arrived here on Friday evening, and on Sunday went down to tho headquarters of the Gen. to satisfy himself fully as to the "situation." Th Governor is a military man, knows the country thoroughly, and all bis energies are enlisted in the wor of expelling and pun ishing the enemy. Shouldn't be surprised if somebody "gets hurt" beforo long. P. S. Tho latest information from the front, is to the effect that our forces under Capt. Boone wero again in possession of the Springs, at 11 o'clock on Monday night. Capt. B. remained after the cavalry left, and saved all tho wagons. OFFICIAL REPORT OF THE SECOND BATTLE AT THE WARM SPRINGS. We are indobted to the courtesy of Brig. Gen. Vance for a copy of Lieut. Col. Bry son's official report of tho second fight at Warm Springs : Ashville, N. O, Oct. 29, 1863. Brig. General R. B.

There I was joined by .ajj' Rhea from Haywood, with about 20 militia men. I hero procured sapper for tho men, and proceeded oo tho march, reaching the enemy's out post just at day light; but instead of finding a picket at his out post, I found hi in drawn up in lino of battle waiting to reccivo me, ho having discovered tho plan, from all accounts, en ly the night betorc. When I mado the a- lac-, aitnough ho numbered, as was after wards ascertained, about 400 in line, I charged him and t ompletcly routed hi'm from his position, and drove him beyond tho field. A second time coming up, show ed tho same result. A third tirao they reinforced, and came. With thia fo rrn m v littlo band strugglod fur somo timo success, fully, but seeing that we wero completely overwhelmed in point of numbers, I gave the order to fall back, which mot of tho mon did in good order. All the men and officers acted on this occasion with such coolness and gallantry that it is hard to in dividualize, but I cannot refrain from men tioning the conduct of Lieut. W. P. Wolch ana fcorgeant Collins of Company 13. Lieut. Welch led his men with great gullantry, and set an excellent example for tbem, for moro than one of tho enemy was seen to fall by his hand. Jn a hand to hand cn. counter Sergeant Collins rushed forward and sacrificed his own life to hvo mine. Maj.

NORTH CAROLINA." - The Synod of North Carolina met io Salisbury on the evening of the 28tb, and was opened with a aermon from the Rev. J. M. Sberw'ood, the retiring moderator, frem I Cor. 1: 21. Tho Rev. R. N. Davis, of Lincolaton, was chosen moderator, and tho Rev. Messrs. Johnston and McBryde temporary clerks. The attendance, especially on the part of Ruling Elders, was not large. The Stated Clerk will doubtless furnish, at an early day, a synopsis of the proceed ings for publication in our columns ; but i will be expected of us to notico nce some of tho most intorestioir -tnn of bu siness transacted. THE WOM 0F PUBLICATION. j)r T)vurrr, the Secretary of tho As p-eiy s Committeo on Publication, was prestnt. When the repjrt of the synodic cal agent ou this subject came up, Dr. L. made a most interesting address, showing tho progress made in tho work since the organization of the Committee. It must have been a subject of devout gratitude to God, on the pat of every member .of the Synod, that amidst the difficulties attend ing this enterprise of our church, so much has been doneJiideed, it seemed that the special providence of God has aided those wbo have had the manage mrnt of its af fairs, until now the Committee is able to offer the best assortment f religious books and tracts to be found in the Confed eracy. We Are sure that ourpeoplo gene rally do not know the extent to which . t , l.t 4 . I ineir own wants ana tne wants ox me army can bo supplied by the Pub.ication Com mitteo of our own church ; and wo were tru ruly glad that Dr. Ley burn was present to give the information so much needed on this subject. In the action of tho Synod, the churches were urged to seal and libe- fr"v r r. . :. tiiivy in support, oi i-ua cause ; ana it is earnestly hoped that the action taken will not bJ twain. It is a matter of vast mo ment fo the present and future of our church, that tho cause of Publication be liberally supported at once. UNION SEMINARY. The matter as to tho transfer of Union Theological Seminary to tho control of tho General Assembly camo up. Resolutions wore adontad trivin? the aasent of the Svn. od ii Uncontemplated transfer, provided "au- a"Ce ,,n at Bri8to1' Tenn tbo Synod of Virginia deem it expedient, "8ao and this army, each will participate and it can bo done without endangering th n.a an. lmportant part : while on tho funds of the institution. Tho Synod was, wo think, decidedly in favor of tho transfer, if tho way shall be made clear for it to take placo. MINISTERIAL LABOR IN THE ARMY. The Rev. Dr. J. Leighton Wilson, Secre tary of oar Domestic Missionary Committ tee, wub m attonaanco, ana in connection with tho report from tho synodical acent On Domestic Missions, presented the views oi the Assemoiy s Uommittcc as to a sup ply of ruiuistcrial labor in tho army. He stated that it was the wish of the Commit toe, if possible, to secure at least ono Pres by terian chaplain or permanent missionary to each brigade in the aernco. In securing thia supply, co-operation was necessary on the part of all tho Synods and Presbyteries in connection with our General Assembly. J.'u.liJ. OVuhkidrturTcV liiilil tho Synod of North Carolina will be about twenty-three or four. It is proposed also by the Committee to supplement tho sala- ries of thn(, -hn aa .hl.,.. :r .u havo families dependent upon them, so &a io enaDie tnem to support their families. In advocacy of this plan, here given io very meagre outline, Dr. Wilson marie a most earnest appeal. After he had con cluded, tho Iiov. li. T. Lacy, our commis sioner for the 2nd and 3rd army corps of Northern Virginia, being present, mado an address to the Synod ou the roligiuus con dition of the army. This address was lis tened to with tho utmost interest. It con. sistea in tt good measuro of what tho spoa ker had himself witnessed. According ti his stKtements. therp a fi.M r.,r..i. ir ir open to tho faithful minister of Christ, such as tho world had scarcely ever seen before and our chnrch must suffer immonsely, it i - - --' uvava wa unv i ki I iii'ni ---www u uu nui incur me direct displeasure oi uurxieavcniy ratner, should wo neglect to put in the sickle and aid in reaping this rich harvofit. After theso addresses from Dr. Wilson ?ndT?Ir;JjaCy' lhe whol malter presented by Dr. . was referred to a select commit tee, that subsequently reported on tho subject. This report commends the pur posoofthe Assembly's Coramittoe, and urges upon tho brethren, those wha younganu vigorous eipccially, to make a . ' .. r.naioiiJiiciio oi tue question to their own hearts and consciences whether n is uot meir duty to go into the army and preach tho goapel to the soldjers. We do hope that the requisite number of chaplains will be secured Irom tho bounds of our Synod. North Carolina has not been remiss in furnishing soldierB for the war: nnH among the bravost of her gallant sous havo been tho members of our Presbyterian churches and households. Let it not 'be said that tho Presbyterian ministors are remiss in efforts to bear the precious bread and vat(fr of eternal life to those who have consecrated their all to thoir country in this day of peril. We mav recur tn thi. subject again. EDUCATING THE CHILDREN OF THE DECEASED SOLDIERS.

BrafcV8 army. As the afTairAas been diaf td to suit tho fancy and preju dice ot writers, I will now givoyou a plain statement of the facts. - It seems that number of the Gons. in the Army of Tennessee petitioned for the removal of Gen. Bragg from the command of the army, (Gen. Breckinridge and some others excepted,) while the President was on his lato visiL President Davis reques ted a personal interview with tbeso gentle men, aad asked them tostato their reasons why they demanded that Gen. Bragg should be relieved from his command.' The rea sons given did not appear to satiBify the President that he ought to tike any action in the case. Gen. Bragg, on being informed of tho nature of the petition, insisted on and urgently requested the President to re lievo him butPresident Davis persistently refused on the ground tbat it would be haz. ardoua to the general good of tho service and welfare of the country. Wo wnh have to give up that victory of the ubiquitous Dick Taylor over and the reported capture of Gen. Banks.

LASSITER DIED, Died in Richmond, Va , on Saturday October 24th ?n.?9 receiTed tfae battle of Bristow Station, JOLPII W. RANKIN, a private in the Guilford Grays. The deceased was one ot the very first vol unteers from Guilford county. Soon after (Jov EL lis ordered the Guilford Grays to Fort Macon. Mr. Rankin, then at Mr. Lindsay's Clasiical School, volunteered; he was but little over 18 years old, and while he insisted on being permitted to join the army, he refused to allow his friends to try to obtain a commission for him. The writer of this was di recting his studies ; and he is perfectly familiar with the views and feelings of the deceased when he entered the public service. He was exceedingly anx ious to be a soldier : he was utterly averse to any official position, and so remained during hh long connection with the army, while his character, mind and education entitled him to a higher place than that which he held, while the influence of friends could have attained it for him, he uniformly de clined all promotion, saying that there were many better qualified than himself, in the ranks. The writer never knew, in all his varied experience of men, any once less ambitious of distinction merely for the sake of notoriety, than Mr. Rankin ; nor did he ever know any one more conscientiously anxious to perform his duty. He was a brave as the bravest generous to a fault, modest as a girl, and lways kind. o f . . oome nve years ago tie connected himself with the his profession. His teachers regarded him as havinir 0l.ntei 1Qine army and out of it, was consistent .ith capacity of the highest order ; und had his ambition been equal to his abilities and to his sense of duty, he might, if spared, have reached a high position. But while he was of that light-strung and generous class who are ever ready alive to the demands of duty and of true honor, he never seemed to desire ahydistinc . : i . j ... - viuu uui luaioi aoing rignt. He manifested his patriotism bv trivinc himnplf in the very flower of his young and hopeful manhood, and without reward, .or the hope of reward, to the cause of his country; he patiently and cheerfully cuuurcu ior years me cnosen Hardships of a private soldier, and fell, pierced through the breast, in the most bloody and daring encounter of the war. The best testimony to his amiable virtues is the fact that all the inmates, wnite and black, old and )oung, in the families where be had lived, claimed the privilege of mourning at his grave ; but his high est honor was his desire to be a true and humble christian, and to be prepared to meet God in peace. To poor, erring mortals his end teems untimely and sad; and yet his christian friends should see in all his history conspicuous and blessed displays of the infinite grace of God. Their hearts should swell with boundless gratitude for the privilege of honinr that the irlorionslv rrn. oling words spoken by the Holy Spirit apply to the f the loved one they have just buried frc "B1"sed "e who die int from n h a Lord." - w - 9 $ w i : z : r H VICE?

The Actual Result of the late 1k.w i at the North. According to (Jen. Fry's roportto the U. S. Secretary of War, tin ted the 19th ultimo, tho conscription brings oaly ono of the conscripted men into tho army for every nineteen drawn. Tho New York World gives a synopsis cf the state ments in his report : For every ono hundred moti wanted 150 wore drawn, in order to inaico Mir ol tho hundred. Gen. Fry says thnt of Uio-.-drawn 80 per tent, havo reportei ; that is, 120 have reported for ovrry !() drawn. Of those reporting, ho Kuys that VA) per cent, aro exempted for physical dir-ability and 30 per cent, undor tho second secU;ri of tho act ; leaving 40 per cent, who luvu been hold to sorvico. Forty por cent. i 120 is 48 : and of these he savs one-Icill havo paid commutation so that tl !'' men drawn aro reducod to 21. i th fj small romainder (Jen. Fry fetates that ab - it ono-third havo gono in person and tvv, thirds have lnrnihed sub.nituu:.

Could troro boa more striking proof ol th inuptilude, bad judgment, and want of fun sight which diicct tho proceedings of the Admiriistration ? 11 tLey had really u i derhtuod the machine they wero putting in operation, instead of adding fifty per cent, to cover deficiencies they would have ded I,S00 per ctt.
