Such attempts 70 escape constitutional diifculty
merely discred all delense Of the Conscaion bills.
The Constitution means just what 1t says; and the
opponents Of cop6scstion try to make it uean what
il docs not say. Leave that style OF argument to
them, in common with those strict constructionlss
who have found tho deDial of powers 70 Congress

The real explanation Of the restriction. q, well Is
Of the careful definition Of treason, thiDk have
above given. 1t indicates the d,sire TO exclude
political persecution bit Lot TO deprive the Govern
ment of any power esseptial to the maintenance OF
the Government against the temptation Of ambition
or the violence Of insubordinate factions.
Ii 10 quite certain that neither Of the provisions
respecting treason prevents the punishment OF acts
which amount TO treason under other names aud
free from those restrictions. The traitors who
burned the Maryland bridges and shot the Massa-
chuse,ts men on the 10Th Of April were guilty OF
treason but they also guilty Of resisting the
laws of the United States aud VI riot, and Of OBJ
struc,iDg mail routes; and for any Of those crimes
any punishment, any confscatiou may be constitu.
tionaly imposed Us tie consequence Of the Judgment
and one witness may prove them.
Still, the constitutional provision is salutary
admontion in favor Of moderation, specially suited
to these times. Very sincerely your friend.

CoRINTH, April 10, 1862.
Ireturned from Island No.-lO too late to take

Hon. JOHN BELL.-This old statesman made q
stirring speech at Winchester, Tenn, a few days
ago. The army correspondent of the Savannah
Republican thus alludes 10 it:
He told the people that all had not been lost
that there was no reason to be discouraged, and
that if they would be free they must strike now,
and strike with all their power. He urged them
to turn out en- masse, and to drive the invader
from their soil. l hear that he took an enconrag-
ing view of our affairs, and that his speech had a
good effect.

SuARrsHooTERs.-Th fearful mortality of Con-
federate officers in the battles that have recently
occurred in the West is easily explained. The en-
emy has organized companies and regiments COM
posed of the best starpshooters that the country
can afford, whose assigned duty it has been to pick
off fall men appearing on the field wearing plumes
and epaulettes. Their experience has induced
them to believe, since the fall Of lollcofer at
Mil Springs, and the panic that in consequence
ensued that the easiest way to demoralize and
rout our armies is to kill their leaders, in whom
they have such confidence. They have accord.
ingy acted upon this principle and to it is due the
sacrifice of many of our bravest and most gallant
officers, Johnston, McCulloch and Mcintosh among
the rest.
1t is ample time, we think, for our authorities to
initiate the example set by the enemy in this re-
spect. Let companies OF sharpshooters-and no
country on the face of the earth can furnish better
ones than the South-be Immediately organized,
the most efficient arms be placed in their hands,
and put them forward upon every field to spread
death and destruction among the leaders of the
hordes, who are invading our country. A word to
the wise is sufficient. We believe that the South.
ern sharpshooters will do service quite as efficient
as the Northwestern Yankee with his long-range
" telescope rifles" or so-caled theodotes."

EXTRAORDINARY AFFAIR.-We have to record to-
day either one of the most daring robheries or
maddest pranks that has ever fallen under our no.
tce, and that is, the carrying off of the engine,
tender, and mail and express cars of the o'clock
passenger train on the Western and Atlantic Rail
road. The facts Of the case, SO far as We can as
certain, are these:
1t seems that while the conductor, engineer, and
other employees of the road who were conducting
the train to Chattanooga were all in the breakfast
house at Big Shanty, regaling themselves coeee,
hot buiscuit, and other et-ceteras pertaining to
that meal, and while thus comfortably employed,
some person or persons, unknown to us, and un.
known to every one else, Qor we believe no one
saw the operaton0 detached the engine, tender
and mail express cars from the remainder of the
train, and left at " double quick" on the road
towards Dalton; and although the stations have
been telegraphed, nothing had since been heard
from them up to 2 O'Clock P. NJ.
Altogether, this is of the most extraordinary
affairs we have yet heard of. If the intention is
robbery which is the natural conclusion it far sur
passes the bodest exploit of Jack Sheppard " in
his pamest day [Atlauta Commonwealth, 18th

THE FErTERs TIGHTENING.-Recent accounts
from Nashville show that the despotism established
day assuming more brutal and remorseless
character. Buelps lip-promises that the persons
and property of citizens should be protected have
been perfdiously violated and all the horrors and
brutaities that marked the original occupation Of
ST. Louis, Baltimore and Alexandria, are being re-
enacted with tenfold wantonness and cruelty. We
hear of numerous arrests aud imprisonments lately
made by authority of Johhsten on mere political
charges, and it is thought that the arrested parties
