Oar Dirty as Viryiaians.-Several arrests
have recently been made of gentlemen who,
while visiting this city, or passing through it,
have become objects Of suspicion. Whether
these instances legitimate or not, it be-
hooves US RS an order, law-loying, generous
people, to deal with those who thus come under
the ban of suspicion, with discretion tenn
pered by caution and justice, that will not
arouse prejudice in the minds Of the inno-
cent.
While events are in their present attitude,
many individuals unknown to the authorities
will be detained and imprisoned who are real
" true friends of the Southern cause; but the
innocent must not suffer with the guilty, and
as long as the suspicion remains unsatisfied,
we do not think that every person thus arrest
ed should remain confined in the dirty and ur-
comfortable cells of our guard house If they
must be detained, steps should be taken to
spare their feelings and provide for their com.
fort, until they are proven innocent or guilty
Of the charge of which they may be the OBJ
iect.

Military Dexpotist,l,

Mr.. MERRYMAy, President Of the AgricuI-
tural Society of Maryland, who was arrested
by LtSCoLNs mercenarles in Baltimore OBJ
tice TANEY. Gen. CADwALLApER was sum-
moned to appear and produce the prisoner ;
but, instead of doing SO, he sent his Aid with a
message that he was too busy to come, but
said nothing about the prisoner. The Aid,
however, stated that the General was acting
under authority from the President, who had
directed him to suspend the haJeas corpus.
The prisoner not being forthcoming, the Judge
issued a writ for contempt against the General,
returnable the next day.
The next day the Marshal made return
that he could not execute the writ, not being
allowed entrance to Fort McHenry. The
Chief Justice then stated that the detention OF
the prisoner was unlawful: lst, Because the
President had no right to suspend the writ OF
haJeas corpus, nor authorize a military officer
to do it; I'd. A military officer has no right to
arrest and detain person, not subject to the
rules and articles Of war, for an offence against
the laws of the United States, except in the
aid of the judicial authority, and subject to its
control.
The Judge stated that he should lay the
case before the President, in order that he
might perform his constitutional duty, to en-
force the law by securing obedience to the pro-
cess of the Court.
This is decision by the highest judicial
authority, that the whole of LlNcoLss pro-
ceedings in violation of the Constitution
But what cares LINCOLN or Black Republi-
eanism for the Constitution? The Constitu-
ton is dead. Liberty in the Northern States
is name. Constitutional government has
no longer foothold in this country, except in
the Southern ConfederacY.

Darts and Benuregord-The arrival of these
two distinguished gentlemen in Richmond, one
the Chief Magistrate Of the Confederacy and the
other the hero of the first battle in behalf of
Southern Rights, is not only opportune as re-
CARDS the momentous crisis through which we
are passing, but important in its moral effect
upon our people. Their presence will give a
tone to public affairs and to public men, and
imFart vigor, impetus and activity, in both the
Civil and Military Departments OF our Govern
ment. Our troops will be inspired with fresh
confidence, though it has never been wanting in
the leaders We have already in the field and we
shall probably at once begin to experience the
results of that vigorous policy which has
in few short months consolidated The
Southern States in one Of the strongest
Governments Of the world. We shall
have fight, and we shall conquer. The prov
idence which has thus far blessed every move
ment that has been made in behalf of South
ern Rights, will not1esert us in the trying
hour of our destiny, and with such instruments
in the field rs President Davis, TOOmbs, Wig
fall, Beauregard, Lee Johnston, B0nham, Hu-
ger, Wise, and the host Of brave men gathered
around them, we cannot but triumph over all
opposition.
There are now upon the soil of Virginia
try men who have adorned the Preside, forum
and the field; men who have staked " their
lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor :"
men no will never turn their backs upon the
enemy until he has been driven from the
State. South Carolina has sent her Manning
Preston, and Huger; Louisiana her Beaure-
gard; Georgia her Toombs, and Texas her
Wigtall. Other States have likewise con-
tributed their brightest and best names to the
galaxy, hundreds of whom are in the ranks as
private soldiers; while every family in old
Virginia that ever had position has sent its
representative men to do their share in the
coming conflict. With such leaders and such
followers, we are invincible, and though, in
the language of the brave Tatuall, "blood is
thicker than water" the soil will soak with
the contents of the hearts of the men Of the
Old Dominion, before they yield one jot to the
trcacherouS foe who are now within our
borders.
