We do not pretend to know what the
management of the affairs Of the Agricul-
tural Society has been, further than our
dealings with ii are concerned, and to that
extent We desire 10 bear testimony to the
economical manner in which they have been
conducted. We published the premium
list, and notices Of the regular and called
meetings of the Society, which, if we had
charged for at the usual rates for that
amount Of workout for which we made
no Charge would have amounted &c thirty
or forty dollars; yet the Society officers
did not deem these favors worthy the COM
pliment Of fifiteen-ce admission ticket
to the Fair When it is considered that it
is not uncommon for officers of Agricul-
tural Societies to present complimentary
tickets to newspaper men in adjoining
counties, expecting nothing in return more
than mere announcement of the time Of
holding their fairs, the action Of our So.
ciety can be more clearly appreciated.

mand, as early as o'clock in ;the morn
inc, aud continued without much effect
until O'Clock p NJ, when large rein
forcements of the enemy appeared upon
our right, which was commanded by Col.
Baker.
The Union forces engaged were about
800, and were attacked by q force sup
posed to be from 5000 to 6 600 At this
iuncture Col. Baker fell at the head of his
brigade. while gallanily cheering on his
men TO the confliyt. Immediately before
he fell he dispatched Major Young to Gen.
Stone to apprise him at Lcesburg of the
condition Of affairs, and Gen. Stone i'm
mediately proceeded in person toward the
right TO take command. but, in the CON
fusion created by the fall of Col. Baker,
the right wing sustained a repulse with
cons iderabe loss.
Gen. Stone reports that the left wing
retired in good order. He will hold the
approaches thereto. Strong reinforce
ments were sent forward to Gen. Stone
during the night.
The remains Of Col. Baker were re-
moved to Poolsville. and Will be brought
to this city on Wednesday.
Reliable accounts from the Upper Poto

returned TO their positions IN far better
order than was anticipated, aud held the
Virginia side of the Potomac.
The Harriet Lane arrived up from Indi

batteries have been erected a. Matthias
Point. The Freedom and Island Belle, in
making n Reconnaissance at that point yes
terday, threw some shot into the woods,
and The fire was returned by some ne"
batteries Of eighteen guns.
Immediately thereupon the woods and
underbrush were cleared away, exposing
the batteries to view. Vessels in passing
are obliged to hug TIE Virginia shore, and
are exposed to the fire for a distance OF
some four or five miles in doubling the
point.
No vessels passed down the river last
night, and it is not known that any
came up.
River men report that the rebels have a
number Of seine boats and long boats con
cealed i'll tie crooks and nle,s between
Aqua Greek and Occoquan Bay. and that
they are busy building launches. either
with a view to cross into Maryland or

The Removal of Judge Douglas Re,
mains.

The removal Of Judge Douglas remains took
place at between twelve and one o'clock yester-
day. As early as nine O'Clock In the morning,
a crowd Of people collected In front of the
fremont House, and remained there during the
entire forenoon. The remains were escorted by
the Chicago Light Guard, the Sturges Rifles,
and the Scammon Light Infantry. These com
panies formed body guard, which was quite
necessary to keep the crowd in check, so great
was the rush OF people in the streets. Bryan
Hall was most appropriately arranged for the
reception of the illustrious dead, and was full
OF solemn grandeur. The coffin was placed upon
the pedestal Of the platform, and surrounded BY
soldiers, VINO preserved the order which was be-
coming to the scene, as q vast crowd defied
past and passed out at side door. The deco
rations of the hall are beautiful and impress :
i've. From the talons of the eagle, the Gag Of
the Union falls gracefully to the four columns
supporting the canopy. At the foot Of the coffin
stands abroken column, emblematic of life cut
of in the midst Of promise and greatness, and
at its head stands vase Of beautifully variega-
ted flowers. Upon the front Of the gallery the
portraits Of the Presidents by Healy are festoon.
ed with black and white Grape. The gallery is
decorated with American flags. Around the
middle Of the stage are four large American
flags, looped in festoons with Grape, in the centre
of which hangs portrait OF Fddke Douglas

with flowers. Chicago Times.

time, some Of them very pretty. We staid here
two days, and then left for Grafton, where we
arrived In the evening, and, as have said, took
up our quarters in large machine shop.
Grafton is, like most OF the Virginia towns,
composed of frame and log houses, set without
regard to regularity, and which seem, after
having been once built, to have been left to
take care of themselves. There are excep-
tons. of course, but speak OF the majority
There is one little Catholic church here, that
being the only religious edifice. There are

fine brick depot here, the only nice building in
the place. Grafton contains about 500 inhabit-
ants. How long we shall stay here cannot
say.
Yesterday. an Indiana regiment, (which
came here Friday,) part of the Virginia regi-
ment, and part Of ours left here for Phillipp, ID

wounded, and Col Kelley, mortally by a pistol
shot. The rebel party were quartered where
we now are, but upon hearing OF our approach
left for Phillippi. They are mostly boys and
pressed men, and, Of course, not much could be
exp pected of them.
We had been among the advanced guard all
along, but the other companies, being afraid we
should get all the glory, grumbled, and so they
were sent on this last expedition, and we order
ed back. We were the first on the ground, all
packed and ready for the start, and 1t caused
much hard feeling among us-I mean compa-
nies and X. We each got an overcoat to day
which will add still more TO our back loads

suspensIon of the Writ OF Hnbe as
Corpus-Opinion on Judge Taney.

.
The readers of the Siatsman will fiad upon
the 6rss page Of this morning's paper the de-
cislon infull Of Chief Justice TAsry, Of the su.
preme Court Of the United States, in the recent
case of JoHN MERRYMAN, a citizen Of Baltimore,
on the question Of the constitutional power oi
the President to suspend the privilege Of the writ
Of Habeas Corpus Il Is an able, learned aud
lucid exposition Of the law on this subject, and
will be read with deep and absorbing interest
Encroacbments upon the Constitution, whether
in the shape of resistance to or usurpation ol
the constitutional authority Of Congress, should
be equally guarded against, come from what
quarter they may.
Without remarking upon Judge TANEY 8
opinion In detail, we would ask the readers at
tention to that portion in which the clause Of
the Constitution authorizing the suspension Of
the habsas corpus is particularly referred to and
discussed. That clause is found In Article /,
section 9, claule 2, of the U. s. Constitution,
and 10 In these words:
The privilege Of the writ Of Ad6sas corpus shall not
be suspended unless when in Of rebellion In
yaslon the public safety may require IT,"
twill be found upon examination that Ar
ticle I. relates exclusively to the legislative de-
partment of the Government. Section de.
clares that the National Legislature shall be
composed OF Senate and House of Represent
atives. Section defines the qualifications,
election, &c., OF the Representatives; and sec.
tion 3 does the same in regard to the Senators
Section relates to the time Of elections aud
the day of the meeting of Congress. Section s
defines what shall constitute quorum in each
House, and section 6 relates to the compensa
tion of members. Section prescribes the Or
der Of legislation, and section 8 declares, in di-
rect and emphatic terms, the powers Of Congress,
in nineteen separate clauses, into which the sec
tion is divided. Then follows section 9, which
declares, in like strong and decided terms, the
restrictions imposed upon Congress-uOhat il
shall not do. These restrictions are embraced
In seven clauses, the second Of which is in the
language quoted above, declaring that "the
privilege of the writ of habsas corpus shall not
be suspended, unless when in cases Of rebellion
or invasion the public safety may require It,"
Under this clause Congress may, in certain
specified cases of rebellion or invasion, sus
pend the privilege of the great writ Of habeas
corpus, which secures the personal liberty Of
the citizen. Congress is the sole judge wheth.
er the ezigency justifying such suspension has
arisen, and no such power is, by the Constitu-
tion, entrusted to any other department of the
Federal Government,

The Peoples Government.

The Government Of the United States, as well
as that OF each State, is emphatically the Peo-
ple's Government. The Declaration Of Inde-
pendence was, through their representatives in
General Congress assembled, the Proclama tior
Of the People; for it was made in their name
and by their authority. The Constitution Of the
Union was ordained and established by the Peo
pie Of the United States.
The Constitution, which establishes Gov
ernment, is not to be regarded merely as the
will of the majority, but as that of the whole
people, who, in that instrument, have as care
fully guarded the rights of minorities, as they
have defined what questions may be settled by
the decision Of majorities.
The Constitution being the written express
sion Of the Peoples will, the Government es-
tablished by 1t, and acting under it, is their
Government, and resistance to its constitutional
authority is resistance to the will of the Peo-
pie.
As in q sister State, all process civil and
criminal, for the execution Of the laws, runs In
the name Of the People Of the State of New
York; so, in the present rebellion against the
constitutional authority Of the Federal Govern
mens, the People Of the United States have in
stituted and will prosecute to 6nal Judgment and
execution an action against JEFFERSON DAVIS

tion and Government which they, the People,

When people who recognize their depend
ence upon God feel themselves surrounded by
peril and difficulty, it becomes them to humble
themselves under the dispensation of Divine
Providence, to recognize His righteous govern
ment, to acknowledge His goodness In times
past, and supplicate His mercifui protection fol
the future.
The manifest proofs of the Divine blessing
hitherto extended to the efforts of the Confeder
ate States of America, to maintain and perpetu
ate public liberty, individual rights and nation
al independence, demand their devout and heart.
felt gratitude. II becomes them to give public
manifestation of this gratitude, and of their de-
pendence upon the Judge of all the Earth, and
to invoke the countenance of His favor. Know
ing that none but just and righteous cause can
gain the Divine favor, we wouldl mplore the
Lord Of Hosts to guide and direct our policy in
the paths Of right, duty, justice and mercy; to
unite our hearts and our efforts for the defence
of our dearest rights, to strengthen our weak
ness, crown our arms with success, and enable
us to secure speedy, just and honorable
peace.
To these ends, and in conformity with the
request OF Congress, invite the people of the
Confederate States TO the observance of da y
OF fasting and prayer, by such religious services
| as may be suitable for the occasion, and / re
commend Thursday, the 18th day Of June next
for that purpose, and that we may all on thai
day, with one accord. Join in humble and rever.

invoking him to inspire US with a proper spirit
and temper ofheart and mind 20 bear our evils,
to bless US with His fervor and protection, and
to bestow His gracious benediction upon our
Government and country.
