Tall Marching.

Gen. Buell. has often been derided as slow
General. but he las shown that upon occasion
be can march as well as fight. No army Of
equal numbers, rebel OF. federal, has made such
a march since the. war begun, as that from
Lebanon to Louisville by bis men. He was
running race with Bragg. Louisville was
the goal. He marched 365 miles, Bragg 2O6,
yet Buell. came out one day ahead, though
burdened with heavy train. It may be
thought that by marching toward Bragg and
defeating him, he might have saved himself

The following is the article OF war applica-
bic to the case Of Gen. JEFF. G. Davis for kill.
ing Ger. Nelson:
ART. 0. Any officer or soldier who shall strike
his superior officer. draw or lift up any weapon
or offer any violence agaidst him. being in the exc
cution of his Office, any pretence whatsoever or
shall disobey any lawful command of his superior
officer, shall suffer death such other punishment
as shall, according to the nature Of the offence be
inflicted upon him by the sentence Of court-mar-
tial t..s
The concurrence Of two-thirds OF the lBem-
bers Of the court is requisite to the capital
penalty.
1t may be a question whether an officer
abusing and striking another, in violation Of
the articles of war, and not in the execution
of any military duty, is sin the execution of

The beauty of Woman i'm Poland

The extraordinary beauty of the women in
Poland, may be accounted for from the fact
that there, girls do not jump from infantry to
young ladyhood. They are not cent from
the cradle to the parlor, 10 dress, to cit still
and look pretty. No: they are treated as
children should bc. During infancy, which
extends through several years, they are plainly
and loosely dressed and allowed to run, romp
aud play in the opcn air. They are not load
ed down, girjed about and oppressed every
way Nth countless frlls and superabundant
aounces, 80 as to be admired for their CLOTH
log. Nor are they rendered dyspeptic by
continually stufiing candies and sweet cakes /,
as are the majority Of American children. =
Plain, simple food, free and various exercise.
and abundance Of sunshine during the whole
period Of childhood, are the secrets Of beauty

H. Winter Davis Oh Confscation and Imam
Clpat!On.

baltimore, Md, June 10, 1862,
My DEAR SIR In the ha.ty noto Of the 9th
OF June, | sngularIy enough forgot to mention
the most pointed and conclusive authority for
confscation by emancipation.
The laws Of the United States IN the District
OF Columhia prohibited the importation Of
slaves for sale or residence, declared the slave
imported free, and punished the importer by tlne
These laws We're adopted Dy Congress from
the laws of Virginia and Maryland. They have
been repeatedly enforced in both those States.
Every gentleman practlclng In the courts OF the
District has enforced the freedom vested by these
laws. | have III se'f, IN more than one instance,
successfully asserted the clulm before the courts
O. the District and OF Virginia, and the Su
preme Court has sustained in repeated instances
the validity OF the law. The most recent case
that recall is that of Rhodes vs. Bell g. How
ard, 1917. Decided in 1874
Those arc old laws passed in the good old
times, before men were sml.ten with madness.
But the Compromise acls of Nr. Clay, passed
IN 1880, embody the same principle. The Law
Cf 1880 forbidding the introduction of slaves
into the District OF Columbia for sale, declared
the slave 50 imported hboated and free No
greater name than Mr.. Clay can be cited on any
constitutional question and The name OF Pres
idenl Fillmore ought surely to satisfy the most
timid OF conservatives Never were laws more
keenly contested more gravey considered, or
adopted by ADLER men than the famous Compro-
mise acts OF 1880 AMI it would seem that u
Republican Congress might more safely err IN
company with tie men OF 1850, than he right
with The doubtful friends or recent foes Of the
Republic in 1862
These laws and these judgments of the Courts
under them dispose Of the whole question of
contiscaton by enamel patton. without indict-
ment and conviction of the guilty person, but
by civil process on behalf of the person freed
tor the masters Illegal act, The process for en-
forcing the freedom Of the slave was by sut in
the name Of the ncgroe against the owner for
treedOn' IN the form of an ordinary action of
trespass and the title to freedom was vested by
operation of law Immediately on the consum,
nation of the act OF forfeiture and the SUIT
was merely the judicial form of authentica,ing
the title the law had vested
If you see fit to publish this note in confrma-
ton and illustration of the views formerly pre-
ssnt,d, you are at liberty to do SO. Had |
thought of this case, so very familiar in my
legal experience and IN that of every gentleman
of the Bar in this region, should have spared
you long dissertation by this decisive author
ity Very sincerely your friend,

venuon 10 be held at Bellows Falls, July "a.
We have but httlc to add, at this time by way
OF comment. We hope all democrats, who arc
disposed to, will attend the Convention, and
give TO its proceedings truly national, loyal,
Onlon-restorlng character-repudlatiDg and de-
nounc!ng those who originated and still foster a
rebellious and dsunion sentiment
1t is plain that the Star is afraid that the
Convention will not be characterized as tru
ly national, loyal, Union restoring" meeting
and we think from the phraseology Of the call
tina. the approximations of the Star are well
grounded. There il one comfort however, for
honest people like the Editor of the Star, and
that u.s. if the convention is disloyal in its charac-
ter, it will be small enough to be insignificant
and quite harmless in Its effects
