The Baltimore American very properly
says:-"We ask, in the name of God, what
are we coming to If we must fight, can
not we fight hike civilized, not to say Chris
tan men 1t is said that the Mohican war
ror could tell by the sea- p of his victim to
which Of the six hated tribes his dead enemy
belonged, and that his hatred and disgust
were equally expressed, no matter whether
his foe was an Oneiua or an Onandagua. 1t
was not an enemy of his tribe or nation
merely, bue personal foe who sought his
individual life Is the contest then, one in
which private vengeance is to be wreaked

A Madrid letter has the following: To
day 9th of APRIL leaves here for Cadiz,
there to embark for the Havana, COL Rio,
bearer of instructions from her Catholic
Majesty's government to the Captain General
Of the island of Cuba, touching the annexa-
ton of ST. Domingo. Soon after the arrival
of Colonel Rio at Havana the frigate Cortes
and the corvette Vile de Bilbao will enter
that port. The land forces sent to St. Domin-
90 will consist of two regiments of infantry,
one troop of lancers and a regiment of chas-
seurs from Porto Rico. The ships are four
screw frigates--one Of 30 guns, one of 10,
and two of 80; four paddle steamers-two of
l6 guns and two of s; two other steamers of
guus, and two sailing corvettes Of % guns.
All these vessels came from Havana.

Ross Winans, ESQ.,, whose arrest BY order
of a General in theservice of the United States,
commanding post in the State of Maryland
we noticed day or two since, has been dis
charged. The Baltimore Sun says
ct is not pretended that a warrant was
issued by any civil authority, upon any Aft
daviJ whatever. The act was pure, sim
pie exercise of military power. Inter arma
silent leges, is an old maxim, and we sup
pose that if is the purpose Of some to avail
themselves of its protection. But If the law
has lost all It's power, it still becomes US to
remember what it was and to state to the
public what safeguards We possessed under
the constitution and the laws; before our civil
rights were abrogated by the sword.
The constitution of the United States,
which war is now made TO uphold, tells us that
'the right Of the people to be secure in their
persons, houses, papers, and effects, against
unreasonable searches and seizures, shall
not be violated; and that no warrants shall
issue but upon probable cause, supported by
oath or affirmation" And we say plainly,
that the seizure Of Mr. Winans by an officer
of the army, without the issue of any civil
process, and his detention in an AIMED court
by military power, is as gross, direct, and
papable violation CT the constitution az
was ever comm tied in the whole history OF
this country"
