EXEMPTIONS.

The Conscript law has been decided
to be unconstitutional, by Judge Thom-
as, of Georgia, and their are signs of
some conflict in this State. Congress
has been tossing the exemption bill
about in no very creditable manner
The proposition of the House to ex-
empt all those claiming under State
laws, has been rejected by the, Senate,
and the adjournment may come off with
out definite action. A correspondent Of
the Carolinian argues that if Planters
and Farmers, the first are those who
cultivate their own land, the second
those who work rented iand) mechanics
and Artists are to be exempted on ac-
count of the public necessities, they
should be limited in the cost of then
productions. This is an ugly time to
be trihing on important matters; and
it is to be regretted that our Congress
should have devoted the larger portion
of it's time to Buncombe speeches that
are meyer published, and would not be
read, if they were.
