deeply or extensively rooted in the general mar.
itime law Of Europe, and in the universal and
immemorial usage OF the whole community ol
the civilized world. 34l.
1t follows, as necessary consequence of the
doctrine Of the illegality Of all intercourse or
traffic, without express permission, that all con-
tracts with the enemy made during war are ut
terly void. Theinsurance Of the enemy proper1
ty is an illegal contract, because it is specie (
of trade and intercourse with the enemy. The
drawing of bill Of exchange, by an alien ene-
my, on subject of the adverse country, is an
illegal and void contract, because it is COM
muncation and contract. The purchase Of bills
on the enemy's country, or the remission and
deposit of funds there, is dangerous and ille-
gal act, because it may be cherishing the re-
sources and relieving the wants of the enemy.
The remission Of funds, in money or bills, to
subjects of the enemy is unlawful. The iphibi.
ton reaches to every communication, direct
or circuitous. All endeavors to trade with
the enemy, by the Intervention of third
persons, or by partnerships, have equally
failed, and no artifice has succeeded to legalize
the trade without the express permission
of the Government Every relaxation Of
the rule tends to corrupt the allegiance
of the subject, and prevents the war from full
filling its end. The only exception to this strict
and rigorous rule of international jurisprudence
is the case of ransom bills, and they are con-
tracts of necessity, founded on state Of war,
and engendered by Its violence. 1t is also q
further consequence of the inability of the sub
jects of the two States to commune or carry on
any correspondence or business together, that all
commercial partnership, existing between the
subjects Of the two parties prior to the war, are
dissolved by the mere force and act of the war
itself; though other contracts, existing prior to
the war, are not extinguished, but the remedy
is only suspended, and Is, from the inability Of
an alien enemy to sue or to sustain, in the lar
guage of civilians, a persona sfandi in judicio.
The whole of this doctrine, respecting the lille
gality of any commercial intercourse between
the inhabitants of two nations at war, was ex-
tensively reviewed, and the principal authori-
ties, ancient and modern, foreign and domestic,
were accurately examined, and the positions
which have been laid down established, in the
case Of Griswold ps. Waddington, decided in
the Supreme Court of this State, and afterward
affirmed on errer.

Mans Duty to Woman.

Let him learn 10 be grateful to woman for
this undoubted achievement of her sex, that il
is abe, she far more than he, and she too often
in spite Of him, who has kept Christendom from
lapsing back into barbarism-kept mercy and
truth from being utterly overborne by those two
greedy monsters, money and war. Let him be
grateful for this, that almost every great soul
that has led forward or lifted up the race has
been furnished for each noble deed and inspired
with each patriotic and holy aspiration, by the
retiring fortitude Of some Spartan or more than
Spartan--some Christian mother.
Moses the deiverer of his people, drawn out
of the Nile by the kings daughter, some one
has limited, is only symbol OF the way that
woman's better instincts always outwit the ty-
rannical diplomacy of man. Let him cheerful
ly remember that though the sinewy sex achieves
enterprises on public theatres, il is the nerve
and sensibility of the other that arm the mind
and infame the soul in secret. "a man dis
covered America, but woman equipped the
voyage" So everywhere; man executes the
performance, but woman trains the man.
Every effectual person, leaving his mark on the
nishing some Isabella, In the form of hie
mother, lays down her Jewelry, her vanities
her comfort.
Above all, let not man practice on woman
the perpetual and shameless falsehood of pre-
tending admiration and acting contempt. Let
them not exhaust their kindness in adjoining
her person, and ask in return the humiliation
of her soul. Let them not assent to her every
high opinion, as If she were not strong enough
to maintain it against opposition; nor yet man
ufacture opinion for her. and force it on her lips
by dictaton. Let them not cruelty her mo
tions, nor ridicule her frailty, nor crush her in
dividuality, nor insult her dependence, nor play
mean jests upon her honor in convivial compa
MES, nor handy unclean doubts of her, as a
wretched substitute for wit; nor whisper vul-
gar suspicious of her purity, which, as COM
pared with their own, is like the imma culate
whiteness of angels. Let them multiply her
social advantages, enhance her dignity, minis
ter to her intelligence, and, by manly gentle.
ness, be the champions of her genius, the
friends Of her fortunes, aud the equals, il they
can, of her heart.-Reo. F. d. Huntington.

Burning OF the Gosport Navy Yard-Eleven
Millions Dollars Worth Of Property De-
itroyed.
The New York Times gives the following
account of the destruction of the Government
property at Gosport, to keep it out of the hands
Of the rebels:
| The steam tug Yankee lay at the Navy Yard
until Friday, the 18th, when the Virginia Gus.
tom house officers came over in tug and de-
manded the surrender Of the Yankee. Com.
McAuley, who was in command Of the Navy
Yard, refused to comply with the demand, cay
| ing that IL they attempted 10 take her from the
yard, he would sink them where they Law
The Cumberland Immediately beat to quar-.
ters, and brought her ll-inch pivot gun, which
was charged with shell, to bear upon their tug /,
and they deemed II advisable to leave forthwith.
On Saturday evening, at o'clock, the Paw
nee arrived from Washington, with 900 voun.
teers and 100 marines, beside her own crew,
and at once the officers and crew of the Pawnee
and Cumberland went to the Navy Yard and
spiked and disabled the guns, and threw the
shot and small arms into the river. At 10
O'Clock, the marines, who had been quartered
In the barracks, fred them, and came on board
the Pawnee. This movement was premature,
for 1t was the intention to FIRE all the buildings
simultaneously. A party of officers, meantime,
were going through tho different buildings and
ahips, distributing waste and turpentine, aud
laying train 30 as to blow up the Dry Dock -
They we're engaged in this work until 2 o'clock
when the train was fired. At three O'Clock. the
Yankee, to the Captain of which, Charles Ger
main, much credit is due, came along and took
the Cumberland In tow, the Pawnee taking the
lead. All the vessels beat to quarters, the guns
were manned, and everything was in readiness
to carry out the threat Of Commodore McAuley,
that II gun was fred from either, shore he
would level both Portsmouth and Norfolk. AT
this time the scene was indescribably magnifi.
cent, oil the buildings being in blaze, and ex-
ploslons here and there scattering the cinders in
ell directions.
The Government vessels had been scuttled in
the afternoon before the Pawnee arrived, to pre-.
vent their being seized by the Secessionists, who
had been in arms in both Norfolk and Ports
mouth, under the command of Gen. Taliaferro.
Their number is estimated at some 1400 men.
The scuttling was done between twelve and two
O'Clock on Saturday. Lest this mode of destruc
ton should not be complete, however, trains
were laid on them, and the vessels were fred
with the buildings.
The following are the names of the vessels
which were destroyed: Pennsylvania, IA gun
ship; steam-frigate Merrimac, "a guns; sioop-
of-war Germantown, % guns; sloop Plymouth,
% guns; frigate Raritan, 45 guns; frigate Co
lumbia, "A guns; Delaware, "a gun-ship; Co.
lumbus, ID gun ship; United States, in ordinary;
brig Dolphin, guns; and the powder-boat
