States. BY the character Of their produc-
tions they are too deeply interested in
foreign commerce wantonly to disturb 1t.
War Of conquest they cannot wage. because
the Constitution Of their Confederacy admits
OF no coerced association. Civil war there
cannot be between States held together by
their volition only. This rule of voluntary
association, which cannot fail to be conserva-
tive, by securing just and impartial govern
ment at home, does not diminish the securi-
ty of The obligations by which the Confed-
crate States may be bound to foreign nations.
In proof of this it is TO be remembered,
that at the first moment oi asserting their
right OF secession, these States proposed 4
settlement on the basis of a common liability
for the obligations Of The General Govern
ment. @
FELLow- -CITEANs: After the struggles of
ages had consecialed the right of the English
man to constitutional representative govern.
ment, our colonial ancestors were forced to
vndicaie that birth-right by an appeal to
arms. Success crowned their efforts, and
they provided for their posterity peaceful
remedy against future aggression.
The tyranny OF an unbridled majority, the
most odious and least responsible form of
despotism, has denied us the righ, and the
remedy. Therefore we are IN arms to re-
new such sacrifices as our fathers made to
the holy cause OF constitutional liberty. At
the darkest hour of our struggle the Provi-
sional gives place TO the Permanent govern
ment. After a series OF successes and VIC.
tories, which covered our arms with glory,
we have recently met with serious disasters.
But, in the heart of people resolved to be
free, these disasters tend but to stimulate to
increased resistance, To shnw ourselves
worthy OF the inheritance bequeathed 10 US
bv the patriots Of the Revolution, we mus
emulate that heroic devotion which made
reverse TO them but the crucible in which
their patriotism was refined.
With confidence in the wisdom and virtue

and courage of the people, of which the

out of house and home is to do an injury to
our friends.
2. Do we not wrong posterity by DESTROY
ing, under the influence Of supposed neces-
slty, or perhaps OF resentment, houses which
ought to be transmitted to theml
8. Will not the owners Of these burnt
houses, or their heirs, hereafter prefer claims
on the Confederate government for reim-
bursement, on the double plea that they had
been burnt on the ground Of military neces-
sity, and that the government was bound to
protect and save the lives and property Of
its citizens
The memorable case of the burning Of
Moscow, during Napoeon's invasion Of Rus
sia in 1912, is cited as precedent and SUBJ
lime exhibition Of patriotism but Moscow
was the religious capital, the centre of a vast
extent Of country, the military key of the
Empire, Of great strategical Importance.
the destination of Napoleon's vast host.
where he intended to go into winter quar-
ters. 1t therefore became apparen. to the
military councils of Russia, that if they de-
prived him of that shelter, his army must
fall the victim OF the cold and SHOWS of that
rigorous cline according, the Governor or
dered the torch to be put to the city. When
we have city thus circumstanced let US
initiate their example but il is very doubt
ful whether we can have one thus taken, and
at the same time be the pivot on which the
safety or destruction Of whole country
turns"
February Is, 1862.
In his second note he says:
Son the 18th instant suggested certain
objections TO the policy, which seems to be
gaining favor, of burning cities and towns
about to fall into the hands of the enemy.
Let me be understood. My objections do
not lie against the act Of burning, when de-
termined on by military council as mill
tary necessity. But am so well satisfied
that the popular feeling in favor Of these vO-
luntary cunhagrations Gas shown in the burn
ing Of Elizabeth City and the reported at
tempted burning Of Edentou) is wrong, that
| must request you TO append this note to
the communication above referred to. To
many undecided minds il will be sufficient
to intimate this momentous objection, that
such acts can seldom be unanimous conse-
quently bone of contention will be thrown
iuto our midst that may greatly divide and
weaken US. Indeed, il is reported that this
actually happened in Elizabeth Ciy-one
party extDguishing the fires which the 9TH
ers had put to their dwellings. Be this as
it may, the alternative will be frequently
presented during this war, and this and the
communication referred to are written to
elicit light on the subject"

"shove off as soon as possiblea curt dismissal, which he no doubt felt was more than justified by their unwarranted invasion of the vessel in the first instance.
 Berths for Lieut.. Stone and the prize crew were taken on board the outgoing lnman steamer on Wed aesday, but they did not proceed, and the FL inburg sailed for New York without them. It was rumored that they were detained here by direction of the American Minister, in order that their depo sitions respecting the iecapture of the vessel from their chrrge might be taken, but we are not in po stion to confirm the statement.
 A subscription has been originated on Change for testimonial to .the dauntless Captain of the Emilio s. Pierre. The subscribers state that it is ito mark their admiration for Capt. Wilson's gal lant conduct and British pluck, evinced in recap turing his vessel from greatly superior force, and these sums are given without the sigetest reference to the Northern and Southern feeling" Upwards of f2OD has already been contributed, and apart from this we should imagine that the underwriters of the ship and cargo would mark their sense of Captain Wilson's services by very handsomely re- munerating him.

 NEw YoRK, June 5tl.-The Herald's cores pondent states that some of the prisoners taken in the battle on Sunday, who were brought to head quarters say that extraordinary pains were taken by the rebels to kill that armed devil, meaning Gen. kearney. It seemed to them that he bore charmed life, and was one of their most dangerous adversaries
 The Hera.d's Washington dispatch says, private advccs from reliable sources report flood upon the upper Potomac and Rappahannock, and that all the bridges have been carried away. The loss of bridges upon the Rappahannock is not considered serious, as it to be part of the plan ot the government to c!osethe Rappahannock to reinforce Gen. McClellan's army. The amendment to tax slaves in the general tax bill was rejected in the United States Senate the 6th inst, by vote of fifteen to twenty three, after which the bill was passed.

From the Clarksyile (Texas) StanC Incipient Treason.

Governor Rector, of Arkansas, is 8 mentle- man of facile tiuenoy of speech, as deY1opeG in State papers of rather {. peculiar cast, and sometime since made thrust at the govern ment of the Confederate States, complaining ot in treatment of State tunctionares by oihciais of the Confederate government IhlS passed for little more than the irritable expression ct . rersonage jealous of the privileges oi his titular dignity. and one withaI, who has evidenty pecu harites of thought and action, which might without violence to proprety of expression, be deemed cratic. The Governor sometlme since, although the first peace officer in dignity within his State, and charged with the malntenance Of the laws, carried challenge for hls adJutant general, to a newspaper editor who had been severe in his stricures upon the official acts ot the Governor. This was new feature in the code of gubernatorial proprletIes; but as Arkan- sas has always besn strikingly original in social and official etiquette this act only excited pass. ine surprise. But the Governors bile has bro ken out in fresh pace-perhaps We should more properly say that the Governors evident orig naity of conception has found new mode of illustrating itself. As we have said, the Gov, ernor is a gentleman of fuency, and much force, and ornamentation of expression. These ca. pacities, conioined with bis originality, might make him valuable contributor to the Ledger or Frank Lese's Illustrated; but for a governor of a sovereign state. in these war times, when serious interests are at stake a m0dicum otsober prudential sense may be deemed an important attribute; and this we fear is the Governor greatest deficiency. In sort of mock tragic earnestness, indicating grsat deal more than the words express, he is fully the equ.. of the most approved magazine writers of the seasa, ,ion school.

The masses of the peo. pie sustain the law, and it will be enforced, and those who endeavor to induce any to evade or resist It, had better read the act of the last egs. lature. Some fine morning after district court, they may find themselves called upon by a sheriff, and compelled to go to the county jail, or give sufficient bond Disappearance at the next court; and then may follow travel to the State institution for the accommodation of persons inhrm of purpose, act, and expression. This will be sad commentary upon freedom of speeGh misused. Here is the teaching which they had bet CT take 10 heart, in good time-read it!
