Cart. WEgTn's INTREPID ENCOUNTER
WITH THE ESrMY.-From q reliable source
We derive the following account Of the inter
estinr interview between Capt. VIM. H.
Werth, of the Chatham Grays, pittsylvania
County, and scouting party Of the Hess.ans,
in the neighborhood Of Hampton, on Friday
last. 1t td;llers somewhat from our yesterday 3
statement. Capt Werll aud another officer
being together and unaccompanicd, on . re-
connoitcring expedition some distance in adj
vance of the main body, separated at the forks
of the road, each gong ON his own hook, AT.
ter Capt. W. had proceeded short distance,
he found himself suddenly in The presence OF
five OF the enemy. Having no idea of surrel-
dcring, he instantly drew his revolver, and
without parleyins, each party commenced
frinr-Capt. W. killing two Of The party, the
remainder rctreatcd. The mule ridden by
one OF the party, however, was killed by Capt.
WIS last Slot, the rider having slipped Ytf at
the instant and taken 10 lEc bushes. Capt.
w. seems much chagriaed that the bad
ground on which the rencoun:cr occurred
prevented his bagging ali FIVE. When this
! affair is reported f'r the Northern press, il
will of course be stated that til ir scouts were
attacked by q whole troop of drsooas. CAPT.

Debts Due an Alien Enemy.

There ere three points upon which We have
supposed that CUR commercial friends might
desire to have some information. l. Can
trade be carriei en- between the citizens Of
belieerent nations: Q. Can debts due 10 an
alien enemy be collected? 3. May they be
seized and forfeited by the State?
|. On the first point, it il clear that no
trade can be legally carried on between the
,i.i2eus Of hellScrent natio.s. All CONNER,
c!a. intercourse between them is intrrdttrd
by hosli!;tea, unless specially licensed BY
their respective Governments. AZ contracts,
therefore, made in pursuance Of snch inter
course, are void.
J. The same principle governs the col!ec-
ton Of debts. No alien enemy can sue in
the courts Of u Country, Or collect in any way
debt due to him by a citizen Of the State
at war with his Government.
3. The third point is attended with more
difficulty. May debts due ilian enemies lie
seized and forfeited by State? Debts due
directly by STATE cannot be SEIZED and !ur'
fi.i,ed by itself. 1t Cannot even touch the
sums which it owes the enemy. Everywhere,
in crse OF wey: the funds conaded to The pub
lie of the world are exempt FROM seizure and
confscation. For instance-suppose New York
capitalists own tn, bonds Of any of tie Con-
ledera.e States, or citizen of the Conieder-
ate States own the bonds Of any of the United
State-they are not amenable to corGscatioi.'
The reason ia, that in these cases the debt eXS-
lists from its y,ry nature iG the honor Of tie
indebted !States. There was 10 other reliance
for psrment during peace; and the existence
of war should not alter the obligation, since
the power Of enforcing its payment ia not
affected hY the war. For this reason the
deb,5 Of g nation to individuals Of another
nation are not rightfully abolished by var,
end are not liable to colfisca!ion. But it is
often otherwise with respect to debts dnetrom
one citizen of nation to citizen of another
nation, when tiese nations are ct war. rs
g-neral rule, all the property OF an enemy is
liable TO seizure and coniiscation as prize OF
war But Grolius lays i. down: "TLat with
respect to debts due to private persons, tho
right 10 demand thew is suspended during the
war, but will renec wnh peace.h Mr.. Whea-
ton sums I'D the doctrine as follows:
at appears, then, to be the established rule
of International usage that property of the

BE n Woman.

BE a Woman.
Oft I've heard gentle mother,
As the twilight hours began
Pleading with son on duty,
Urging him to be Il man.
But unto her bluc-cycd daughter
Though with loves words quite as ready
Points she out the other duty,
..Strirs my dear to be lady
What's Il lady: Is it something
Made of hoops, and silks and airs,
Used TO decorate the paTl"r,
Like the fancy rugs and chairs:
L i. one that wastes on novels
Every feeling that is human
II It's this to be a lady,
'.ri< not this to be Il woman.
Mother. then, unto your daughter
Speak Of something higher far.
Than to lc mere fashions lady
.,Wou:.n'' is the brightest star.
Ii We, in yowr str"ag affection,
Urge your son to be 4 true man,
Urge your daughter no less strongly
To raise up and he a woman.
Yes, woman--brightest model
OF that light and perfect beauty;
There the mind. and soul and body,
p.end to work out life's great duty
BE woman--naugh; Is higher
On the gilaed list Of fame;
On the catalogue of virtue
There's no brighter, h"lier maine.
BE woman-on TO duty,
Raise the world from all that's l"w,
Place high in the social heaven
Virtues fair ard radiant bow
Lend thy Influence to each effort
That shall raisc our nature human;
Be not fashions g;!ded lady,
T., n brave, true, whClc-souled woman.
