What is Martial Law ?

At the present crisis, the significance OF
a term so much u.ed, and with so
little accurate sense Of its meaning, he,
comes unusually important
Bpuvier defines martial l.v as "a code
established for the Government of the ar
my and navy Of the United States, "
whose principal rules are to be found in
the articles of war prescribed by act OF
Congress. Bat Chancellor Kent saws this
defnion applies only to military Law,
while martial law is quite distinction,
and is founded on paramount necessity,
and procllimed 10y military chief.
Martial law is generally and vaguely
held to be a suspension Of all ordinary
civil rights and process-and as such, ap-
proXimates closely to military despot-
ism.
1t is an arbitrary law, originating in
emergencies. In times of extreme peril
to the State, either from without or from
within, tie public welfare demands extra
ordinary measures. Ar mar mtlal law be
ing proclaimed, signites that the opera
tion of the ordinary legal delays ofjustice
Is suspended by the military pOwer,which
has for the time become supreme.
1t suspends the operation Of the writ
of haJsas corpus enables persons charged
with treason to be summarIly tried by
Court Martial instead Of Grand Jury JUS
titles searches and seizures of private
property, and the taking possession OF
public highways and other means of COM
mwnicalion. Involving The highest exer-
ci-e OF sovereignty, il Is, Of course, capa-
ble Of great abuse, and is only to be ju5ti-
fed on emergencies of the rlost impera-
tive and Perlous nature, such as noT ap-
pear tO exist in Baltimore and Washing,
ton.

The 1vnrto be Pushed.

The n. Y, EUsHing Post learns that The
Cabinet have determined upon the most
active prosecution of the war there will
be no going into winterqunrters anywhere (;
and what is to be done will be done with
out more delay than is necessary to the
conduct of movements SO vast and momen-
tous.
Good authority afirms that the expedi-
ton just gone is bnt the beginning OF the
end other expeditions are to follow; other
cities are to be menaced and should we
fail together in one attempt, the event
would not lessen the determination of the
North. Port Royal is the first point in a
line of offensive operations, which will be
extended until it has reached in succession
Fernandina, New Orleans and Galveston.
The rebels having begun the war, the 10y.

RoLLA, NO., Nov. l1.-All our sick and

were to leave there on Saturday night, for
St Louis, and orders have been given to
have the rest start as soon as they were
able.
Price had fallen back miles from Cass-
Vile, near the State,li and was moving
South. 1t was believed to be reliably as
certained that his policy was to lead our
army on, not to Gght it, but simply 10 keep
II large force there, so as to draw our
troops from the Mississippi Valley. The
general belief in his camp was, that st
Louis would soon be in the hands of the
rebels from Columbus, Ky.
There had been some trouble about
slaves escapinginto Lane'sand other camps
and Gen. Hunter had given permission to
owners to search our camps aud reclaim
them, if they could find them.
The ten missing members Of Fremont's
body guard had returned to Springfield
from Cassville. They report Prices force
to be about 10000 strong, with 80 pieces of
artillery, IL pieces of which had recently
been received from Memphis, whence 9TH

From Fortress Monroe.

FoRTREss MONROE, Nov. 10, via BALTI-
MORE, 1.-THE steamer Spaulding arrived
from Hatteras Inlet this morning, with the
Goth Indiana Regiment.
A deserter, who reached the Inlet in q
small boat. stated that news had been re-
ceived on the main land of the taking of
two Confederate forts at Port Royal, and
the landing of large Federal force.-,
Beaufort had also been taken by our troops.
No particulars have arrived, but the main
fact corresponds with the news received a
few hours since from Norfolk, by flag of
truce. Great excitement prevailed on the
arrival of the news Mt Norfolk.
From the same source we have rumor
that the railroad above Beaufort has fallen
into the possession of our troops, with an
immense quantity of stores.
Five deserters, who reached Newport
News this morning, state that the rebels up
the James river are in CONSERVATION, and
also brings the improbable rumor that our
troops had advanced up the railroad us far
as Charleston.
The French trigate Galabria burned to
the waters edge, on Friday night, OF Hat
teras. All hands were saved. She had
lust arrived from the blockade of Beau
fort, N. G.
The Captain of the o. S. gun boat Alba
tross, reports that he discovered the Union
ashore on the 9Th inst, about 8 miles to
the eastward, off Baynee Inlet, but in con-
sequence of the heavy weather, had no
communication with the shore until the
following day, when he landed with flag
of truce, and learned from the Captain of
Confederate company, the following par
ticulars: The Union went ashore, or
rather was run ashore in sinking condi-
ton, on the LIST inst, and soon after broke
in two in front of the smoke stack. The
crew, rs in number, and Is horses, we're
saved. The men are prisoners at Fort
Macon and Raleigh, N. G. a large guam
tity of stores was seen piled up on the
beach.
at the time of the disaster, the Winfield
Scott was in company with the Union, and
the Captain of the latter expressed the
opinion that his cOnsOrt was lost, she hav-
ing suddenly disappeared.
Nothing is known concerning tho ru-
mored loss of the Ocean Express. There
are rumors of three Federal vessels having
gone ashore.
FoRrREss MONROE, Nov. 10.-Two fish
ing smacks hoisted white flags and took
refuge uuder the guns of the Cumberland,
off Newport News, this morning. The
Captains were Baltimorians, and were sent
with their two assistants to Fortress Nom
roe. They have been fishing in James riy-
er, and supplying the rebel troops. At
the time they left a report was current in
the rebel camps that Charleston had been
attacked. The men were afraid to ask
questions, and having been already once
imprisoned on suspicion, deserted to Cum
berland. They state that on Friday last
several regiments of rebel troops were ia
ken from the vicinity of James and York
rivers to Richmond, from thence to be sent
South. The embarkation took place in
great haste. The shores Of James river
are almost deserted by the enemy.

within gun shot of the Ohio shore. It

on Pond Greek, about ten miles from MUIR

I,oss of the Steamer North Briton.

LOSS OF CQ6 6GShM6E NOfLu oG1GOu'
MoErREAI, Nov. I2.-The Sd officer OF
the steamer North Briton arrived at Far
ther Point in a schooner, reports that the
steamer North Briton struck on Paraquet
Island at 1 O'Clock on the morning of the
9th inst, during gale. She was totally
wrecked; but no lives lost, tue passen-
gers and crew being landed at Port Nun
gan. Ono boat with seven hands on board
has not been heard from since they left the
ship. The North Briton sailed from Que
bee Nov. I'd, with 81 cabin passengers and
SO steerage, for Liverpool.
The following is the statement of Mr..
Brown, the Sd officer.
When the ship struck 1t was blowing a
gale, and the weather very thick. The
ship continued striking very heavily on the
reef during Tuesday night aud all Wednes-
day, and it was expected every momentshe
would go to pieces. The boat with the
crew broke away from the ship before it
was loaded, and could not get back till
Tuesday morning after daylight, when all
tae passengers were taken off without acci-
dent and transferred to two schooners,
which landed at Port Nungan, and a few
at the houses about miles below,
At Port Nuugan, the passengers were
housed in a store house, having few
blankets, which were got from the wreck,
to sleep upon. The store rooms in the
steamer were all under water, causing u
scarcity of provisions. The lower cabin
was all broken up, aud most of the bag
gage lost. Only few of the mail bags
were saved, and these were perfectly
saturated.
When the schooner with the third officer
left for Farther Point, the other schooner
was cruising off the west end of Auticos-
ii, to intercept the Anglo Saxon.

was not n desertRr, but a private citizen,
aud man of considerable intelligence,
who had crossed the Sound at the risk of
his life to bring the news to the Federal

sation corresponds precisely with what had
already been sent. Outside Of this state
ment, there is a report that in the taking of
Beaufort a large part of the town was
burned.
