STAY LAW.

Mr. EDITOR: The Stay Law is so extraordinary
that it has caused reflections upon the integrity of
the body that passed 1t. ! regret that any public
body IN North Carolina should he detained. With
out question, concede the integrity of the Legis-
lature But believe its action in this particular to
be founded in a misrepresentation of fundamental
principle in our Government and in mistake of
facts. I pass by its retrospective operation-im-
pairing the obligation of contracts, -that has been
sufficiently discussed will consider its prospec.
tive effect.
Justice can be administered, and grievances re.
dressed, through our courts only Heretofore, un-
der our court system, justice could be administered
and any grievance ree Ssed, from six eighteen
months Under the Stay Law the same end cannot
be attained, to say the least, in six times that pc
riod. For then We had six courts year, now we
have but one. If therefore, it can be shown that a
speedy administration Of justice and redress of griev-
ances is fundamental principle in government,
then the first proposition TO wit that the Stay Law
is violation Of fundamental principle, is estab-
lished.
Section goth of the Declaration Of Rights de-
clares, "That for redress Of grievances, and for
amending and Strengthening the laws elections
ought to be often held" Mark! often held. Now,
elections redress grievances. Hold an election
every month"; and. unless the elected meet in Cen
era AS emily, the election would amount to moth.
ing. The spirit of this provision, then. requires
that the General assembly should be often held
But the General Assembly redresses no grievances
It, only prescribes how they may be redressed |;
and the courts carry out these prescriptions The
pery spirit of the provision, therefore, is, that the
| courts shall be 'often held"
Section Is, of the same instrument provides, that
when one is deprived Of his liberty, he shall have
remedy to enquire into the lawfulness thereof; and
that "such remedy ought not to be denied or de-
layed" Mark! ought not to be delayed 1t is true
that this provision has been useful, mainly in Sc
curing the writ Of Ha6eas Corpus, but it's spirit
reaches the whole case, and enjoins speedy trial.
as well as a speedy examination.
| speedy redress of any and all grievances is,
therefore, fundamental. principle in our govern
ment. r

grievances must necessarily admit Of some latitude

with so many the doekets were crowded SO as tore:

In conformity with certain inquiries instituted by
COL WIN. j. Clarke commanding l4th Reg't N. q.
Vols, in regard to the hygienic condition Of the
regiment at tine present time, the that have
heretofore operated for the production Of the vast
amount of disease, with which the regiment has
been infested, &C., proceed to furnish report to
that effect as far as possible.
Our regiment, previous to its departure for Vir-
gina, was stationed for many months at Garysburg
and Weldon, North Carolina. The regiment was
subjected while at those points to all the de!eterious
miasmatic influences peculiar to that region. Du-
ring that period very great amount of sickness
prevailed in the regiment and has continued to do
so in an increased ratio Since The constitution of
the individual members of the regiment by such ill.,
fuences was rendered both unfit to resist either
morbid attacks, or the severe exposure to which
| they have been subjected.
After arriving in this portion Of Va, region to-
tally different IN all respects from their native 10.
calty, they subjected to the severest exposure
and prvation for the purpose of resisting the incur
SONS OF the enemy. We were frequently marched
through torrents Of rain both by night and day, by
the commanders of the Brigade. We were en-
camped on Sewelfs Mountain for month"; large
portion OF which time, destitute of tents or
shelter OF any description-we having marched to
Seweii Mountain with positive orders from Gen.
Lee to leave both baggage and cooking utensils be-
hlnd alter our arrival there we were exposed to
vast amount Of rain, portion Of the time without
food or shelter. During this time our Colonies
made every cxertion to procure these ,,ecessaries
but with only partial success The officers, from
the Colonel down, underwent the same exposure
and priyation as the men. At one time from inces.
SAINT rain the roads became impossible and conse-
quently our very limited supplies were cut off.
At this time though we had an accession of from
twenty to thirty to our sick list We we're utterly
destitute Of medical supplies from the lnpossibity
ofprocuring them. Men dangerously III with the
pneumonia and fever were compelled to remain
sometimes for days, exposed to all tie incemences
OF weather, without shelter, until they could be
transported back to hospitals BY order Of our
commanding General, our patients though danger
ousiy III, were transported over roads almost i'm
miles. se - = = s. :

One night while lbWsy shepherd swains
Their aeecy charge attended,
A light burst Ger gadea's plains,
Unutterably spsendid.
Far IN the dusky orient
A star, Unknown IN story,
AROSE to food the ornament
With more than morning glory.

Wanel when its sudden splendor ou'0'
Upon their paler beaming.

Fling wide its pearly portals
c.. 9Th from ali its realms Of light
Its radiant immortais
They lowered in the golden air,
Their golden censers swinging,
And woke the drowsy shepherds there
With their seraphic singing.
Yet Earth on this-her gala night
No jubilee was keeping;
She lay, unconscious of the light,
In silent beauty sleeping.
No more shall brightest cherubim
And statelest archangels
Symphonious sing such choral hymn
Proclaim so sweet evangcls:
No more appear that star at eve,
Though glimpses of its glory
Are seen by those who still believe
The shepherds simple story:
In Faiths clear armament Affair."
To Unbelief a stranger
Forever CLOVIS the golden star
That stood above the manger
Age after age may roll away,
But on Times rapid river
The light of its celestial ray
Shall never cease to culver.

Arc drifting with the ages
The sky grows dark-around each bark

Pale with alright lost heIm>men steer,
The cracking tinbers shiver-
The breakers roar-Grim Death is near
Oh! who may now oellser!
Light-light from the Heraldic Star
Breaks brightly DER the billow;

The pilgrim seeks his pillow.
Lost-lost indeed his heart must be-
