WHAT Is MARTIAL LAW AT the
present crisis the significance Of term so
much used, and with so little accurate sense
of ifs meaning, becomes unusually impor-
tant.
Bouvier defines martial law as "code
established for the government Of the
army and navy of the United States, .
whose principal rules are 10 be found in the
articles of war, prescribed by act Of Con-
gress. But chancellor Kent says this def
milton applies only to military law, " hile
martial law is quite distinct a thing, and
is founded on paramount necessity, and
proclaimed by military chief.
Martial law IS generally and vaguely
held to be a suspension Of all ordinary
civil rights and prooess-and as such,
approximates 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 trom
within, the public welfare demands extra
ordinary measures. And martial law
being proclaimed, signifies that the oper-
ations of the ordinary legal delays of jus
tice, is suspended by the military, which
has for the time become supreme.
1t suspends the operation of the writ of
ha6eoS corpus enables persons charged
with treason to be summariiy tried by
Court Martial instead Of Grand Jury JUS
titles searches and seizures Of private prop
erty, and the taking possession of public
highways and other means Of communica-
ton. Involving the highest exercise of
Sovereignty, it is of course, capable of
great abuse, aud is only to be justified on
emergencies of the most imperative and
perilous nature, such as now appear
to exist in Baltimore and Washington.

WASHINGTON, May Gov. Letcher
of Virginia has issued proclamation say
ing that the sovereignty of Virginia had
been denied, her territorial rights asaailed,
her soil threated with invasion by the au-
thorities of Washington, and every arti-
fee employed which could influence the
people Of the Northern States, it there
fore becomes the solemn duty o. every
citizen to prepare for the impending con
fiict. To this end, and for these purposes
and with the determination to repel inva-
sion, Gov. Letcher, authorizes the Com
manding General of Military forces to
call, and cause to be mustered into SER
vice from time to time, as the public exi-
gencies may require, such an ADDITIONAL
number of volunteers as he may deem
necessary.

We stated that Wentworth burnt $780,
GOO ofcity bonds which ought to have been
used in decreasing the floating debt Of the
city. Wentworth denies it, If any tax
payer doubts the correctness of our state
ment, let him ask Comptroller Ward, Ex-
Alderman Long, a. Kreismrnn, who was
atthe time city clerk, or even Wentworth
himself when sober. These men eaw him
burn the bonds
Wentworth denies that he prevented the
issue of$1o, ,oo0o ofbonds hyalayor Haines's
administration to diminish the floating
city debt by procuring or causing to he
procured m injunction. The public can
satisfy themselves as to whether the TR1-
nuSE or the Mayors right BY calling upon
Philip Dean, or upon the lawyer employ
edin the case, or by examining the records
ofthe Court.
Wentworth denies that be has not issued
100000 ofbonds during the present admin
istration. We shall not insist on this point.
Perhaps he hns issued that amount Of
bonds, We knoao he has issued largc
amount Of scrip bearing ten per cent inter
est and dated back to the 1st Of May, 1860
that the poor 1aborers and contractors
into whose hands this scrip fell, were glao
to sell it for seventy five cents on the dol
lar-and that capitalist Of this city offered
to let the city have the money to pay these
demands ut eight per cent interest, and that
Wentworth declined the offer. Perhaps
he has issued 100000 in bonds besides.
We shall see what Comptroller Ward has
to say on this subject in his report.

AAe C0no1tAon OF Fort SUmtGrs ii
columbus Correspondence Of the Cleveland Her'dI
Mr. La1z Anderson-a brother Of the Major
-of Cincinnati, has been here for day or
two. His account Of his visit to Fort Sumter
and the condition Of the fortress is very inter-
cstipg. The Fort ,ciN not be surrendered and
The suspicion of collision with Pickens is
most shocking injustice to MaI. Anderson.
His wife is the daughter Of Gen. Duncan
Ciinc1, brave and patriotic officer, deceased
SONS ten or twelve years ago.
Two Charleston gentlemen did attend Mr..
Anderson to Fort Sumter, bnt it WIS on bis
OVID invitation, not at all to interfere with Ills
visitto his brother.
hlr. A. says that Mr. Pettigru, q distinguish
ed citizen Of Charleston, boldly proclains his
attachment to the Union and his opposition
10 the whole secession movement This is
tolerated in him, but q man Of less character
aud eminence would be lynched for the utter
aucc Of such sentiments.
Mr.. L. received letter from Major Andcr-
eon q few days ago. It WIS postmarked
Charleston, January:2, and bad not been tam-
pered with. He thinks bis OWL or any other
letters not official, or bearing indication Of be-
ing 60, would be transmitted safely without
inspection Of the contents.

The city was good deal agitated yes

first that Fort Sumter had been reinforced,
and second, that it had been attacked by
the South Carolina militia. A dispatch from

valcnt there, but there is no con-
frn1ation Of either story as yet Sew
cral circumstances lead to the belief that
re;nforcements may have been landed in

PieEras could not be taken Lieut. 6lemmer

moral lesson, to writ: that loaded guns and
n determined spirit havea mighty soothing
eeIcc. on traitors.
