we shall presently see. ihi. obvious re.

some Of President Lincoln's Generals.

The last nail brings u. word of still
ls,lsier stroke Of military usurpation. The
collision between General Cadwallader and

fict between Law and illegal violence. in
which law suffered total defeat. 1t jusl

the authority of the Supreme Court of the
United States is snmmsrily set aside BY

the writ of AaLeas corpus is treated AS SO
much waste papcr--and this, too, in q
State which still adhercs to tue Uniun, and
in which the civil authorities have never
been supcl seeded. 1t is an ominous fac,
that this daring assumption of military
dcspotisn does not appear to excite the
slns'lcst objection in any quarter. The
Northern newspapers, We are told. are
mostly silent on the subject, while some ui

How a Bishop Became a General.

A correspondent OF the New Orleans
Iicaya"e. writing from. Richmond, gives
these curious particulars of the way in
which Right Rev DR.. Polk. Episcopal
Bishep of the Diocese of Louisiana, CAME
to forsake the gown for the sword:
The Right Rev. Leonidas Polk, Of
Louisiana, was to-day commissioned Ma
jor General in the amy of the Confed-
crate States. The appointment has been
urged upon Bishop Polk for several
weeks, but he has had sone h ,sitati.n
in accepting it. A few days since he
paid visit to the venerable Bishop
Meade at his h,me near Winchester, to
consult with him about it. The result
was that he has concluded to accept it.
"Bishop Meade told him truly that
he already held commission in very
different army, to which h. held allie
glance till lifc's journey ends
." l know that very WE'LL replied
Bishop Polk, aud l do not intend to
resign it. On the contrary, shall only
prove the more faithful to it by doing
all that in me lies to bring this unhal-
lowed and unnatural war to a speedy
and happy close. We of the Confeder-
ate States are the last bulwarks of civil
and religious liberty; we fight for our
hearthstOues and our affairs; above all
We fight for race that has BEEN by
Divine Providence entrusted to our most
sacred keeping. Wien I accept COM
mission in the Confederate army. there
fore. l not only perform the duties Of 4
good citizen, but contend for the principles
,chieh lie ut the foundation Of our social,
plitical aud religious polisy.'
Bishop Polk is native of Tennessee,
and at an carly age entered the
Military Academy at West Point.
where he graduated with distinguished
honors, . contemporary of President
Davis. General Lee, General Johnston
and General Magruder.
THE command of Major General Polk
extends from the mouth of the Arkan-
sas river. on both sides of the Missis-
|sippi, to the northernmost limits of the
Confederate States. It takes il the en-
campment At Co,iinth, Mississippi, where
there are about Is, 900 men assembled,
the northern portion Of the State of Al
ALBANIA and the State Of Tennessee. On
the west, it comprehends that portion Of
| the State Of Arkansas, bordering on the
Mississippi north Of White river. rs fat
north az the boundaries of the Confeder-
ate States may extend. That portion OF
the State of Arkansas south and west oil
the White river is consigned to Col
Hartlee. now in command of Fort Nor
