When the battle hour hath gathered
ALI glory, all Its woe,
When the grave our forms hath garnsrsd
70 the aust OF long ago,n
WIN upon thy field Of action
Moves another race of men,
They shall know how rich, how price less,
lsthat gift of God, the pen.
Thrones ma y shake, aud mountains crumble,
Stars may fall from nder sky,
But thy aim is upward, onward,
nd thy power shall never die.
Thine to keep the seus of sages
In their vesture, pure aud white,
Thine to bring the buried ages
All un, eiled before our ST. hit.
Thine to tesch the holy m ssion
Peace on earth-good will to men
Thine to bring a long lost Eden
TO the souls of earth again.
Till the sun hath ce lsed her shining,
And the bow of peace grows pale,
Till the p wer of ce hath faded,
Thou shalt never never fail.

THE BALDWIN CONTEMPT CASE.

THE BALDWIN CONTEMPT CASE.
In the United States Circuit Court, on
Tuesday, Judge Smalley decided, in the pro.
ceeding against Marshal Baldwin for con-
tempt that the orders Of the War Depart.
ment, under which LYMAN, Barney and Field
were arrested, were in violation OF the pro-
visions of The Constitution of the United
States, aud were therefore illegal and void
That If under the provisions of the Constitu-
ton, the President Of the United States
had the power to suspend the writ of Habeas
Corpus, he could not delegate that pow
er to has subordinate officers. That the Con-
stitution made the President Commander
IN Chief OF the military forces of the United
States, and that this, with the provisions of
the laws OF 1895, which had been declared
to be constitutional, conferred on the Pres
ldent power to declare martial iaw-and
martial law having been declared by the
Presidents Proclamation of the oath of Sem
temoer, tps0 .fdcto the writ of Habeas Corpus.
was now suspended. Therefore if the said
Field was now produced before the Court, he
could not be dischsrged-but would have to
be re emanded to the custody of the Marshal.
On the first of September, however, when
these proceedings were instituted against the
Marshal the writ of Habeas Corpus was not
lawfully suspended, and it was no classification
TO him that he acted under the orders of the
War Department, those orders having been
issued without due authority oflaw. The Court
therefore directed that an order be entered
that c. c. p. Baldwin-the Marshal, was
guilty of a contempt, and that he pay to the
Clerk of the Court fine of one hundred
dollars, and until the payment of said fine
he be prohibited from acting in this Court as
officer thereof,

1t is an old saying familiar to all, that
variety is the spice of life, and it may be for
this reason that the 1lth regiment is contin-
ually undergoing changes. We generally
remain in one place long enough to clear
up oer grounds, grade our streets--in short,
to get comfortably settled, when the order
comes, "pack knapsacks and strike tents"
ofcourse all these things are to be expected,
and we do not speak of it complainingly, but
simply to let our friends in the North know
how we conduct business down here in
Dixie's Land.
Last Saturday the 9th ult, division
took place in the regiment, that is to say, the
companies composing the regiment were dis
tributed among the forts in this immediate
vicinity. Two companies remained at Fort
Lincoln, and the others were sent to Forts
Thayer, Saratoga, Bunker Hill, Massacl
setts, Iotten, and Slocum. The regir .
which occupied the grounds near tn, '
forts previous to our coming, b go
called off to other posts, and t.
now garrisoned by only f. - ~ o.
