Aat Justices of thi Pxack Eximpts un
bxr mi Coascniprnow Law? A friend at
Stantoosburg asks us eays tbe Raleigh" Standard
whether Justices of the Peace are considered
"Judicial offipera," under the Conscription law.
We are inclined to the opinion tbst'Jostices of
tbe Peace, are not "Judicial officers" io tbe sense
meant by tbe Congress. Their jurisdiction. i.
Iocs, and they are merely conservators of the
peace in their respective neighborhoods. Tbe
great body of them bare no atated or regular
datieate perform; bat, io many Counties, there
are Justices who constitute a special Court, wbo
are County Court Judges, end it may be as they
bare duties to perform at stated and regular pe
riods, that tbey are exempts. .We suppose there
are from four to five thousand Justices in this
State, of whom, perbsps, two thousand are con
scripts. It could hardly have been the intenticn
of Congress to exempt so large a body of men
from the Operation of the act. t
We will add that we have, given' this opinion
sftcr having consulted eminent lawyers on the
subject. ' ; .:. . ' - -
NAVr Beans. The Richmond Whig urges
tho farmers to plant navy beans for the army. It
is a good idea and will be a plrofitablecrop. "Wbite
beans, bo'miny beans, or navy beaos bj whatever
nam known, is a good article of diet for oof
army, lod jbould be produced in large quanities.
We understand it ia the intention of Presi
dent Davis to lesd an army against tbe hosts in
vesting Richmond, and that be baa declared its

Servid uim Rioht. Denby, the traitor wbo
endavored to cut off the retreat of the 4 1st Vir
ginia Regiment from Sewell's Point by setting
fire to tho Indian Pole Bridge, was captured and
bnng to the nearest tree, without judge or jury.
Served bim right. He was formerly a member
of Doyle'a foow Cooper'a) Cavalry, but deserted
several months ago, and preceded the enemy'a
advance from Ocean View, the other day, to guide
tbem by the nearest and best route. ; N

Oar guerrilla bands in Northwestern Virginia
have been doing good work. Tbey made, a few
days since, a descent on Sumtnerville, the county
seat of Nicholas county, drove out the Vatkees,
taking e number of prisoners and capturing their
baggage ana stores
They then surrounded the town of Suttoosville,
the. county seat of Braxton county. The Yan
kees sent out a flag of truce and surrendered un
conditionally. ' The guerrinaa took 142 prisoners
and all their stores and baggage. -
Our men then followed up and took tbe enemy'a
stronghold on Cheat Mountain, capturing a Dum
bcr of prisoners, together with. all the baggage,
AndL.put:,thQ re

army, who," followed byJackwnr,-weTe-on-tbeir

Milroy thereupon stopped, and was attacked by
General Jackson, who captured all bis trains and

announced "that Colonel Z. B."Vancebid been
