The dcnunciation of the Confederate
Confsca,ion Laws, says the Patriot and
Union, by the venerable ex-Judgc Peti-
gree, in open Court, at Charleston, S G 4,
ha, astonishcd many people. He denied
the power of the Confederate States to set
up such an 'inquisition,' and said the
proceedings of the confscation act were
precisely like those of the English Star
Chamber. With regard to the apparently
required violation of professional confidence
in compelling compulsory answers to in
terrogatories, he said he must be better
instructed before making up his mind as
TO his duty, for, said he, "thcrc are cases
when it is either dishonor or death and
death will certainly be chosen by every
man who deserves the name" These are
the kind of men the proper prosecution OF
the war will bring to light throughout the
South, as our forces advance. Let Che
objects of the Government be the restora.
ton OF the Union, ana the CONSTITUTION,
and the enforcement Of the laws, and we
shall find loyal men fearless patriots, il
every section of the nation. But make il
a war for unconstitutional purposcs-iol
slavery emancipation instead of restora-
ton of the Uniol--- and the division be-
tween the North and the South is eternal
and the end of the war beyond the exist
ence of the present generation Eacl

institutions agrccably to the guarantees o

Our UNION PRIsoNERs.-lt has been
stated that the Colonels who are held in
close confnemen. at the South, to answer
the fate of the privateers, are not permit
ted to receive money from their friends
This is worse treatment than the privateers
have. The Government has been exceed
ingly lenient with them. They have been
allowed to receive whatever is sent them,
and have had tobacco, pipes, soap, c'o'
thing, and articles of comfort contributed
by charitable persons in New York
There are no restrictions in that respect
on their comfort. If the Confederate au
thorities purpose making the treatment
even, they will keep the prisoners supplied
with the best Lynchburg or Killikinick
and allow them whatever luxuries theil
friends, South or North, may send them.
II is stated that Gen. Fremont left st
Louis in violation Of orders. He was di-
rected to remain in that city to await tn
further directions OF the President. Ere
mont mas not resigned his commission a
Major General in the United States arm

.
All the benefits and advantages of a long
wal sink into insigniicanee when compared
with the certain good that will result from
having nothing hereafter to do with the sem
sual and inidel literature of the North;
nothing to do with its counterfeit manufac-
lures, nor its knayish trade; nothing to do
with its free loves, agrarians and anarchists;
nothing to do with the thieves, cut-throats,
lazzaroni and pauper banditti of New York
and best of all, nothing to do with the YAM
kee, half nomad, half J esuit, who ~infests,
cheats and disturbs society, civilized and
savage, in every corner of the world. As
misehievous and prolific as the Norway rat,
he stealthily insinuates himself into every
country, and depredates on society in an
nually increasing geometrical ratio because
he breeds and multiplies in geometrieal RAJ
ito. The South now has hundreds Of thou
sands of these Vagabond, nomadic, thieyisb,
gypsy-ike Yankees within her confines
but we hope the South will soon become too
hott to hold them.
The evils, the losses, the priyations aud
sufferings resulting from a long wa would
be borne by us of the present generation, the
good that would come Of it would descend
to the next generation. We are not yet,
however, such pure aud disinteFested philan-
thropists as to sacrifice ourselves for our pos
terity; as to give up present ease and security
for prospective future advantage.
We are, therefore, willing to submit to an
honorable peace, 80 soon as we have driven
the Lincoln Administration and its troops
north of Mason and Dixon's line. But, until
that is done, we would not treat with them,
for 30 long as the enemy is within our terri
tory we act under duress. All terms of
reconciliation should be scornfully rejected
until the craven hounds Of the North are
driven back into their kennels. Let there
be no peacel no peace until the South can
treat on equal terms, and that she can not
do until the base and cowaFdly invader is
driven from her soil.

sliiutioual matters and we honor him for II.
Like Ahnrcharsis ~Clooz-who held fhat the
conservation Of the Democratic pfihciple
would Be cheap II purchased ai no higher
price thnp the destruotioh Of the whole hu.
nah race-he Is for projecting the principles
of The Copsdlution, even at the saorlace Of
that instrument itself, and, with IL the Gov
eminent and nationality which. Il estab-
fishes.
Like our neighbor, we go in for a strict
construction Of the Constitution and as he
has-perhsps in consequence of his horror at
la~titudinarian notions of the Gdzette-rather
given down" in the argument, we intend
to try to help him out with q few sugges-
tions Of our own. @
We take higher ground than he does, and
lay down, and intend to prove that our
Government has not hs wdr poscer, either
to invade, to repel invasion, or to suppress
insurrection it is not in the Constitution,
as conferred upon the Executive; nor is
there any authority delegated to Congress,
from which it may be legitimately inferred.
By the Constitution, OoNeREss has the
power ITO declare war" ITO raise and sup
port armies ITO provide and maintain a
navy !" ITO make rules for the Government
and regulations of the naval f%orces;" ITO
provide for calling forth the militia to exc
cute the laws Of the Union, to suppress in
surrections and repel invasions !" ITO provide
for arming and disciplining the militia p and
ito make all laws which shall be necessary
for carrying the foregoing powers into exc
%cution.' By the same instrument, the PRES
1DENT is made Commander. in chief of the
army and navy of the United States"
From these extracts, it will readily be
seen that the constitutional power of the
Government begins and ends with the prep.
Grdtion of an army and a navy, and a dscld-
ration of war. The Congress may, at its
discretion, make the most extensive and
costly preparations; it may organize i'm
mense armies, call into being a most potent
navy, and summon to the field a militia as
numerous as the sands on the sea-shore for
multitude, with the President at the head
of the formidable array. It may then declare
war; and when it has done this, it has ex-
hausted its constitutional authority nor is
there a recognition in the constitution of
any other power of the Government, to be-
gin where it ceases.
Some may be idle enough to ask, what is
the use of raising armies, building navies,
calling out the militia, and declaring war,
unless fighting is to be done That is no
concern of ours. We are engaged in the
solemn business of interpreting our sacred
Constitution. While occupied in this, we
take 10 account of events or exigences. 1t
is a high and holy labor which we have un-
dertsken for the sake of eternal truth, and

Two Days Later from Europe,
THR PERSIA AT CAPE RACE.

ST.. JOINS, May 20-The Persia, with Liv-
erpool adyices to the 18th inst, passed Cape
Race on Saturday evening. A large guam
tity of war material was refused by the Per-
STA as freight. 1t is asserted that letters Of
marque had reached London and Liverpool.
1t is also reported that vessels had left with
them, but this is doubtful.
In the House of Lords, Lord Derby ex-
pressed the hope that the forthcoming pro-
elamation of the Government will give en-
phstic warning that if British subjects Join
privateers on either side, their blood will be
on their own heads, with no redress from
England. Preparations were making for
an American Union meeting in London.

gland might IS we'll be offered to q hurri-

Foa7K THOUSAND SOLDIERS IN VIRGINIA.
The New York Tribune, Of Saturday, re-
marks:
A gentleman who has last arrived here
from Virginia, where he has been fo7 the
last two months in all its principal cities,
estimates, from his own observation, that
there are not less than forty thousand; men,
vel armed and equipped, now in tho field
in that State. From Winchester to HsFper's
Ferry he travelled in company with. three
regiments from Tennessee, as we'll armed
and drilled as our Northern troops. These
men said they were to be followed by ten
thousand more from that State, as fast as
the capacity of the railroad will permit.
The impression among the soldiers, was that
their destination was Washington, but the
better-inforDed, among the officers supposed
that fifty thousand Of their best troops were
to cross into Pennsylvania and make a rapid
march for Philadelphia. When this body
moves, an equal number, under Davis him
self, is 10. threaten Washington, 30 that ne
relief can be spared for Philadelphia. Our
informant further says that the rebels seem
perfectly confident of success, though .wsll-
informed as to the state of affairs at Wash
ington, and in the North generally.

The Wal Power Of the Constitution.
Our neighbor Of the Enquirer is, TO all APP
pearance, greatly disturbed by the senti-
ments laid down in a article in the Ga
sstts, in which it is commended that, whether
specifically provided for or not in the Con-
stitution, the GoVernment-under the opera
ton Of a rule that is equally applicable to
ours, and to all other Governments-is from
the necessity Of the case, clothed with allthe
powers requisite for its own protection; and
in order, we suspect, to cast upon it an in.
tolerable indignity, reprints the obnoxious
essay in his own columns.
The position Of the EnQuirer-as stated by
the Gazette, and standing unc ontradicted-
is that it would be better for the Govern
ment to surrender to rebellion than use for
its defense powers not specified in the Con-
stitutioD, or in acts Of Congress made in pur-
suanee thereof.

under date Of May 8, gives tbest ~parliculars

for Mayor; ~ lW - <]
In Hsrbor Grace the liberal mob, TO the
number Of some thousands, marched through
the town, destroyi ing the houses and furni-
tuIe OF the Professionals, and beating them
down with sticks and stones wherever they
appeared IN the streets. They completely
demolished the Standard printing office, and
the proprietor, Mr.. w. Swarey, formerly of
Cambridge, Mass, was obliged to take refuge
in the garrison.
The military were called out, but the mag
istrate was too cowardly to order the captain
to fire, and the soldiers followed at the heels
Of the mob, unable TO stir a finger in defense
Of life OF property. At length an order was
given to Ere, the guns were brought to the
present when the mob dispersed, after de-
stroyiDg property to the value of IS, 600, and
wounding several persons 80 severely that
recovey is doubtfal. Meantime the return
ing officer resigned, so the day passed with
out a single vote being recorded, and for the
present the own is DISTINGUISHED. NJ.
i now come 10 the tragedy of the day. In
the town of Harbor Maine the candidates
were all Catholics, three of them members
of the former Legislature, and one a new
man. The late Attorney. General, Mr.. Hog
sell, was the nominee of the. Bishop. He
formerly Represented the District Of Placeh-
tia, but his constituents refused TO r~e.elect
him, so the Bishop sent him to Harbor
Maine, instrueting the resident Priest to
support him.. He took with him a gang of
rowdies from St. Johns, determined by any
means to secure his election. But the peo-
pie were determined to support their former
member and colleague. Mr.. Hogsett and
his gang marched through Harbor Maine to
o place called Cats Cove, where the other
party were in strong force, to i%ntimidate
him.
On their way they were hailed from the
bushes along the roadside, and told to turn
back; they refused, and a party concealed
in the woods fred a blank voiley at them:
they still pressed on, however, when they
were fred upon again in downright earnest.
One man, named Fuzzy, fell dead, and seven
or eight wounded, one of whom died next
day. They we're both men of family. The
party then returned to Harbor Maine, and
the election went forward. After the poll
ing was over, the returning officer was COM
PEELED, On pain of dessh, by Hogsetts party,
to declare him elected. The election, how
ever, is void, q special commission having
decided that the other candidates had q ma
iority. a
The reform party ere in a majority. The
Legislature meets on the 18th, and the oe-
casion is looked forward to with the deepest
interest. Ithas been stated by a local paper,
that the rowdies will interfere with the
business Of the session. We shall see.
