GEN. RosECRANs.-- Brigadicr General
VIM. S. Rosocrans, who succeeds Major
General Mcclellan in command in
Western Virginia, is from Ohio. He
entered the Military Academy at West
Point in 1888, and graduated in 1842,
receiving an appointment as second lieu
tenant in the Engineers. Ho was ac-
ting Assistant Professor of Engineer
ing at West Point from Sept. 1913 to
August 1874, of Natural and Expert
mental Philosophy the succeeding year,
again of Engineering for a year, and
Assistant Professor till 1847. He was
commissioned first liedtonant in March.
1853, and resigned in 1854, since which
time he has been in civil life, until the
breaking out Of the war this spring.
He at once offered his services to the
Government, and he was assigned an
important position with General Nc.
Clellan, who requested his appointment
as a man in whom he had the highest
confidence. His conduct in the late
campaign in Western Virginia shows
that this confidence was not misplaced
General RoseUrans is about forty years
Of age.

AN Right NOW.

Whatever fault has been Sound wi3h
the Now York Tribune for its past in
disorotions in speaking Of tho Govern
ment and the war; IL is due 10 that pa
per to say that it is now in q better po-
sition. In referring to certain improp-
or criticisms Of its noighbor Of the
Times, the Tribune of the 9th says;
Alasl must the country suffer further
by the continuance of these insane, IA
tai dccisions2 A terrible dospotism,
silent as night aud releRtless as the
grave, is couching for a deadly spring
at the throat Of the Republic, aud We
stand pickering ns to who shall 6ll tho
places Of power and trust-say rather
Of anxiety and peril, Has the past no
lessons for us that we can read on her
freshest pages Of blood2 How much
further must we suffer ere VIC learn the
needed moral?
We have confessed our terrible
mistake in the premises, and are trying
to amend it. Gen. Scott has been
equally ingenious and candid. ut was
miscalculation Of forces" he says Of
the recent disaster. That is the real
truth. None Of us had any idea Of the
immense numbers and tremendous en-
ginery Of war that the rebels had si-
lently collected around their position
at Manassas Junction. Whoever or
dered or planned the attack on that po-
sition was utterly unaware Of its
strength Nothing on earth could have
. induced Gen. Scott to order, or even
give a formel nssent to that movement
bad not he been too systematically and
utterly deceived. Very few dreamed
that that position was to be attacked IN
front, but supposed it would be turned
and the rebels compelled to retire from
it by intercepting their communica
tions. But there is no time now fo
these discussions. Put all the blum,
on us that can be laid there for thu
benefit of the cause, but hush all bicS
e orings-well- meant no doubt, but mos
untimely-and let us try to save tn
country.
We pray the President to dismiss u
? one Of his present constitutional advis
t ors. The public viii has uucquivocall
/. pronounced against any change at pres
ont. Such a step would have a mos
D unfortunate influence on tho publ
+ mind. We cannot afford such a mani
r fostation in the face Of our flushed an
It imminent foes. All together now, an
let us try to work tho good ship off tb
> breakers.
In another article the Tribune says:
Gen. Scott is now the shoct-ancho
. of the Republic, and everything thn
strengthens him Strengthens the natior
There can be no remaining doubt thl
l. he was right in the promises in chooa
II ing to postpone an advance, and tho
VIC who differed with him were doplo,
- ably wrong, Let every thought Of dis
u trust be baDished, while VIC rally aroun
the glorious old Chief and save tn
IS Union.

The Right Of the President to Sus.
pend the Habeas Corpus.

The Right Of the President TO Sus-
pend the Habeas Corpus.
OPINION OF ATTORNEY. GENERAL BATES.
Judge Bates, in obedience to reso.
luton of the House of Representatives,
adopted on the 18th inst, has sent the
House a copy Of his letter to the Pres.
ident, written on the 9th inst, express
ing his opinion of the right Of the Pres
ident to suspend the writ Of baJeaS cor
pus. The argument is contained in a
pamphlet of twelve pages. The quoS-
tions he was required to answer we're:
First In the present time Of a great
and dangerous insurrection, has the
President the discretionary power to
cause to be arrested and held in custo.
dy persons known to have criminal in
tercourse with tho insurgents, or per.
sons against whom there is probable
cause Of suspicion of such crimina
completely?
Second. In such cases of arrest is the
President justified in refusing to obey
a writ Of haJcas corpus issued by a court
or judge, requiring him or.his agent
to produce the body of prisoner, nnt
show the cause Of his capture and dc
tention, to be adjudgod or disposed of
by such court or judge?
To the first question Judge Bates
after preliminary argument upon the
relative powers Of the several branches
Of the government, says:
am clearly Of the opinion that, in {
time like the present, when the very
existence of the nation is assailod by
great and dangerous instruction
tho President has tho lawful discretion
ary power to arrest and hold in custody
persons known to have criminal inter
course with the insurgents, or porson
against whom there is probable caus,
for suspicion Of such criminal com
plicity,
After proceeding to prove this posi-
ton, as to the second question, h
says:
"Haying assumed, in answering the
first question, that the President has le
gal discretionary powers, &c, it nigh
seem unnecessary to go into any pro
| longed argument to prove that in suoI
case the President is fully justified il
refusing to obey a writ of habeas cor
pus," sc.
He ooucIudos:- -"Not doubling tn
power Of the President to capture ant
hold by force open insurgents aguins
tho government, and to imprison thoi
suspected acoomplices, l never though
of first susponding the writ of habea
corpus, any more than thought Of
frst susponding the writ Of rePlevir
before selling arms and munitions des
tined for the enemy. The power to d
these things is in the hands of tn
President, placed there by the COustitu
ton aud the statute law as sacre
trust, to be used by him, in his bes
discretion, in tho performance Of hi
great frst duty-to preserve, protec
and defend the Constitution-and 70
any branch Of the trust he is responsi
bic before the high court Of Of impeach
meut, and before no other human tri
| bunal.

BRowNLOw VS.. PILLow-We learn
from the Knoxville Wing, chat General
Gideon Pillow, who distinguished him
self So immensely in the Mexican war
by his "ditch on the wrong side" has
been showing off his military genius in
an effort to "chain up" the Mississippi
river.
The account Of this last stroke Of
peEoralship is given by Parson Brown
low, who says:
"Previous 70 Gen. Pillow being super
ceded by Bishop Polk, he weRt to New
Orleans and procured huge chain-ca'
Bile, costing him S25, 900, and brought
it to Memphis to blockade the river by
stretching over, aud resting it upor
buoysl The cable, carriage and work
cost about $4,000. The first big tide
that came, bringing down the usua
amount of trees, logs and drift wood
swept away his cable and its supporters
as any aatb6at captain could have in
formed tho Confederate authoritio
would certainly be tho case,
"This is no idle tale, but sohe
reality, and We shall send tho aocoun
of this affair to the Confederate forces
to be tried on tho Potomac, on Jane
river, and tho Chesapeake Bayl"
