Black Republican Anarchy.

Some time since one Of the M]issourians who
was taken prisoner by the Lincoln Hessians
at St. LOUIS. applied for a writ Of .d6eds cor
pus, which was issued out Of the L. 5. Dis
trict Court, and executed npon Gen. Harvey,
the Commandaut of the u. S. forces in MIS-
souri,. Gen. ii. refused to obey the summons
to deliver up the body of the imprisoned SOL
der, and sent him to Illinois, beyond the
Jurisdiction Of the Court. The writ Of habeaS
corpus was therefore virtually suspended by
an officer of the army; and the act, so Tar
from BEN, reprobated, was applauded 10y the
Black Republican adminjstIa alton at Washing

." The British government has decided
that the Confederate States should be ac-
knowledgcd as lawful belligerents and, there
fore, that they have the right to issue letters
Of marque and %reprisal. Lord John Russell
says that our government is IN the same stu,
alton as Greece was formerly, to which the
right was accorded long before It vas acknowl-
edged as an independent nation. Yet, no.
withstanding this decision the Black Republi>
cars threaten 10 treat our privatesrs as PR
ates. They ignore the fact that the u. ). are
bound both by precedent and by law to do
Just as Great Britain has done. The Colonies
issued letters of maTque, and their prlvateers
cruised successfully agains the III Of
Great Britain, during the Revolutionary war,
two years before their independence had been
Acknowledged BY any power. Moreover, the
Supreme Court Of the U. s., decided in the
cane oftEe Saatissina Trinidad, that "during
the existence of the civil war between Spain
and her Colonies, and previous to the acknowl-
~edgment of the independence of the latter by
the U. ), the colonies were deemed by US
belligerent nations, and entitled, SO far as
concerns us, to all the sovereign rights Of war
against their enemy" The case is published
in the Seventh volume Of Wheaton'S Reports,
and the opinion of the Court was delivered
by Mr.. Justice Story, a Yankee judge whose
opinions have hitherto carried with them
great weight among the subjects Of the Lin
cola Government. In the present condition
of the Northern despotism, however, we do
not expect to see the Liucolnites scruple TO
violate all law and precedent, or even to tram
pie under foot the Constitution and the Su-
preme Court in the accomplishment Of their
neiarious purposes. t'

The Presbyterian Church.

The Old School Presbyterian Church when
has yer maintained a neutral position on the
slavery question, and which has hitherto
preserved its unity, has at last s~uccurbed to
the fanaticiSm Of the north, aud been rent IN
twain like its other Protestant sisters. The
General Assembly recently in session in Phil
adelphia, though still containing a respectable
delegation from the South, anxious to keep
the church united notwithstand ne the dlSso'
luton Of the Union, passed resolutions Sus.
tanning the L. ). Government in rs war upon
the Confederate States. Some OF the speeches
would have done honor to Wendell Phillips,
and were the objects Of much surprise and
rebuEc on the part Of the Southern delegates,
who had been unaccustumed TO hear such
language from the Iipso # Presbyterians. The
Southern PreSbyterians, like the Mcthodis's,
Episcopaiians and others, will now form u
separate organ zation oftheir own. We think
it about tune that the South should discOn-
tinue all relations whatever with tie North,
whether eff secular or religious nature. We
have followed their politicians uutl they have
