LAWYERS AND JUDICIAL OFFICERS

We have been taken to ta.k for the asscr-
ton that lawyers are not exempt from military
duty. TIE simple question is, are they as
judicial officers exempt from military duty by
the law is there ANY lhins IN the Constitution
of the State or in the Revised Statutes to
show that they are judicial officers! Article
VI section 10 of the Constitution expressly
declares: "Al judicial officers Of cites anu
villages, aud all such judicial officers AS may
be created therein by law, shalt be e'ecfed AT
such time and ia such manner as the Lcgisia-
ture may direct" In section 20 OF the same
article. we find the following provision: q" No
jndicial officer, except Justices OF the peace
,balI receive to his own use any fees or per-
quisItes OF Office.
Since LAWYERS are not eiec,sd, we conclude
they are not judicial officers. Judicial officers,
except justices OF the peace, are not permitted
to receive fees and perquisltes-lnwyers DO re-
c,lye fees and perquisites, consequently the!
ARE not judicial officers. In the army every
oniccr is supposed TO be soldier, but every
soldier is not supposed to be an officer 80,
IN our courts every Judicial officer is supposed
10 be lawyer, but every lawyer is not sup
posed to be a Judicial officer. "a mare is a
horse. but a hor4c is not mare" says an Old
adage.
A Judicial officer is simply one whose duty
II il to hear and determine causes between
litgaot parties in courts of justice.
la this city there are not lees than Tour
thousand lawyers. We can sec no good rea.
son why they should not share the risk OF
draft with the rest of their fellow-cltlzcns.
We w.ll rot impute TO them any such want of
patriotism as to suppose they wish TO AVOID it.

pei the evacuation of Island No. 1e, or he may
not. This will have no serious effect upon the
eventual course of the campaign or upon its Fl
nal results, although upon the length Of time
during which that post can be hold may depend
the extent to which the advancing wave may
go. Below Forts Pillow and Randolph the
enemy cannot penetrate.
Of further important movements we do not
feel At liberty to speak farther than to ssy that
they are in the right direction and it is on

being spared the necessity of depriving our

need it, will avail mysel Of your offer to
contribute the bell of st. Patrick's Church,

alter. Let me thank you for the expressions
of kindness and regard towards myself, with
which your letter abonnds. | can only hope
that the day is not far distant when peace will

A correspondent of the ST. Louis Republic
an. writing under date of March 81, gives US
some interesting particulars regarding the great
Yankee army has Just been cut to pieces and
scattered broadcast by the gallant Contederates
near Corinth
Few rivers (Tennessee) have ever had as i'm
posing sight on their banks. Sixty thousand
men and miles Of horses wagons. cannon and
SO forth, are there, although everything il bus
tie and preparation there is no confusion. The
law of order was never better illustrated. 1t
is a vast military machinery, where men are
the springs and wheels, all moving regularly,
surely on in the great work Of preparation
Wagons are loaded before they seem hardly
to have reached the goods, and tents are moved
in a fraction Of the usual time. There il no
lounging Or anxiety to shirk, but universal
cheerfulness and confidence. The tone OF the
Western army is completely changed. 1t is no
longer if we capture such place, but when we
capture it, The soldiers there think of moth.
ing but victory. They have confidence in them
selves, and the haunting terrified apprehension
has fled. They believe now that as they march
forward it is to conquer. This popularity, SO
different from the gloom produced by re.
verses and inactivity, at once strikes the stran
ger.

to win laurels to wear with their companions
who got fame and scars at Fort Donelson.-
Opposed to this noble army is q rebel force OF
forty five thousand, lying in wait behind their
works, eighteen miles distant. Corinth is 3 po
sition naturally strong and formidable defences
have been erected there. Rifle pits, redoubts,
abattis and other means of strength, from be
hind which to hurl destruction upon an assail-
ing force, have been constructed. Tho very
best rebel military talent, embracing Beaure-
gard, Bragg and others, is concentrated there,
and at Corinth will be fought the great decisive
battle of the Western campaign. Forty heavy
guns and great number offield pieces are
possessed by the enemy, and immense stores
of provisions are gathered in. The flower of
the South are congregated there to offer battle
and they cannot retreat except by sacrificing
every thing.
The road between the Union camps and Cor
rinth is long and excellent turnpike, and the
distance can be easily traversed in day. Gen
Grant has his headquarters at Savannah, while
the bulk of the army lies at Pittsburg. Pa
rade grounds and spots for comfortable quar-
ters are being cleared, and everything gives
token of weeks longer stay there. During
that time Gen. Buell. is expected to reach a
point from which he can carry out successfully
the part assigned him.

having taken circuituous course, had pene.
