Some sensation has been created in
England by the intelligence that the Presi-
dent has notified the British Government
of his intention to issue letters of marque,
with view of checking the hostilities car
ried on by Southers privateers against
United States commerce. The intelligence
was received from Nova Scotia, the Gov
ernor of which had been notified by the
Duke of Newcastle. 1t is remarked as
strange that the British public was not
informed Of the matter directly.
The right to do this is not denied, al
though it is thought that serious incon-
veniences to British commerce may follow ;
and it is commented on as a practice
which the leading nations have abandoned.
If the exercise Of the right of privateer-
ing results in inconvenience to British
merchants, they may console themselves
by remembering that as soon as this Ad-
ministration came into power, it proposed
to the British and French Governments to
accede to the joint treaty abolishing pri-
watering, but the British Ministers in
sisted on making an exception in favor Of
the Confederates.
1t is probable that privateers will find
a profitable cruising ground between our
coast and the West Indies. If the induce
ments are sufficient the mercantile navy
can tUrn out vessels swift and formidable
enough to intercept and capture any the
Confederates are procuring in England

ReheI RnId in CnrrolIton. Kr.

We learn from the officers of the Louis
vile mail boat Florence, which arrived
last night, that the rebels are again in
possession Of Carrollton, situated at the
mouth of the Kentucky river, having en-
tered the town about four o'clock, yester-
day morning. The Florence, on arriving
at Captain Thos. Wrights farm, on the In
diana shore, one and a half miles below
Carrollton, was hailed by Wright, who in
formed Capt Hildreth Of the Florence,
that the rebels were in Carrollton in strong
force. After the boat had proceeded to a
point on the Indiana shore, half a mile
below Carrollton, she landed, when her
yawl, containing Mr.. Hoskins, the clerk,
Mr.. Brooks, the mate, and Mr. VIM. Alb
bott, Of the saloon, visited Carrollton.-
The party were well treated by the rebels
They found the citizens badly scared, many
having fed to the opposite shore. They
learned there was force of one hundred
mounted men in the town, under Captain
Henry Gilkner, of Hunters Bottom
They had taken possession of the Court
House, and had lowered the Union, and
were about hosting the rebel flag All
the Union flags in the town had been torn
down. They had arrested q number of cit
liens, including Mr.. Jett, Chas. Emery,
and Mr.. Mcclure, and were hunting for
the Provost Marshsl, Mr.. Archer They
were reported twelve hundred strong-one
regiment being one mile back of the town.
They pretended to say they were only after
those Union men, who, few days since,
had caused the arrest of Dugan, South
gate, Barnum, and other rebels. 1t was
supposed they would destroy the records
in the Court House, and all County, State,
and Government property-CiH. CON-, 1st.

We are permitted to extract the follow
ing from letters recently received by Col.
Creighton from members of the 7th Ohio.
Lieut.. Molyneaux writes as follows, from
bivouc near sanky Hook, Nd, under date
of Sept. 22d:
On the 18th of the month we participa-
ted in another hard fought battle. We
went into the engagement at o'clock A.
NJ, and were relieved about noon, after
driving the enemy from three points, over
two miles, and killing them by the whole
sale, having in our regiment four killed and
thirty-three wounded, including lst Lieut..
Kreizer. The killed were lst Lieut.. James
Carter, Co G. John Bacon, Co. H; Ell
ridge Meacham, Co. B, and Geo. o. Herrick
Co. B. Captain Crane is commanding the
brigade at present. Captain James Ster-
ling has got his papers, and has probably
taken his position in the l03d. Lieut..
Spence has arrived with thirty-seven re-
cruits. George Mckay and Jerry Clifton
are each slightly wounded.
]. c. Jones, of company c., writes that
the regiment went into the fight on the
18th of September with l40 men, and
paid the rebels off for past injuries,
emptying their cartridge boxes twice. In
the first charge upon the enemy, Jones
captured two secesh who were helping off
a wounded Captain of the Georgia 9th
Jones has the Captain sword. Jones was
wounded in the right thigh. Captain
Goodsell, of company c., was wounded,
and has since died. The letter says ::
" The 9TH, 7th, and 66th Ohio regiments
backed the 28th Pennsylvania in the bat
tie, and I must say they were worthy of
the backing. They went in with 800 men
fit for duty, and came out with 300 less
Lieutenant Colonel Tindal, of the 28th
Pennsylvania, who commanded the brig
ade did bully; and General Green, whom
we all hissed and hooted whenever he pas
sed, acted so bravely that when we halted
and sent back for ammunition, we really
got up three cheers for him. He thinks
the Ohio boys are hard to beat in a fight.
A good many of our boys have trophies
picked up on the field. Atwater, of COM
pany C, took a Lieutenant Colonel prisO-
ner and has his sword and belt for his
trouble"

ReueFal WtlliaM Nelson
General Nelson, who vas shot by Gene
raj Davis, commanded division under
General Buell.. He was native of Mason
county, Kentucky. he was educated in
the navy and had arrived at the rank OF
Lieutenant, when, in the spring of 1861,
he was detailed to command the Ohio river
feet of gunbOats. He was subsequently
appointed to succeed General Anderson in
Kentucky, with view to his strengthen
ing the loyal sentiment of that State. This
was owing to his extensive acquaintance
with the people there. In April, 1861, he
went there, and began the formation of
camp and the recruiting Of troops, at a
point between GarrardsTille and Danville,
since known as Camp Dick Robinson
Owing to the subsequent appointment of
George H. Thomas to that post, General
Nelson was ordered to form camp at
Washington, Mason county, Kentucky, for
the enlistment Of troops.
General Nelson was about forty years of
age, of powerful physique, and good pres
ence. His address, however, was extreme
ly uncOuth and prOfane, SO much so that
he was said to be the most profane and OBJ
scene officer in the United States Army.
To his men he was ungenerous and rough.
In this manner his efficiency was greatly
marred, and his influence much circum-
scribed. His brother, Thomas H. Nelson,
of Indiana, is our present Minister to
Chill.
He entered the navy as citizen of Ken
lucky, January %, 1910. In 1856 he was
promoted to Iieutenancy, after passing
through the regular degrees of rank. In
this latter capacity he served at sea about
two years and six months. His total sea
service amounted to twelve years and six
months. He was on shore and other duty
for nearly five years, and had been unem-
ployed for about the same length of time.
His total service under the flag of the Uni
ted States was over twenty-five years. His
last sea service was on board the slOOp St.
Louis, in the Home Squadron, On his re-
turn home he was appointed to duty at the
Washington Navy Yard, from which post
he was sent to Kentucky, as already stated,
on special duty for the War Department.
His commission as Brigadier General dated
from September 16, 1861.
Recently he was assigned to the COM
mand of the troops in Kentucky, superse-
ding General Lew. Wallace, and under his
administration we have had a succession
of disgraceful defeats till the rebels over
ran the State, and were only stopped by
Wallace from capturing Cincinnati. More
recently the defense of Louisville has en-
gagged Nelson, and it is charged in one of
the New York papers that "the course of
that officer has savOred very much Of the
heartless, incorporate alarmist, or of
windy, clustering Furioso. Bully Mel
son. he is sometimes called, though in a
sense different frem its literal signif-
cation"

Senator Douglas on the Suspension Ofthe


Writ Of Habeas Corpus.
Extract from the celebrated speech of
Judge Douglas on the bill to refund the
fine imposed on General Jackson by Judge
Hall, Of New Orleans, delivered in the
House of Representatives. See Congress
sional Globe of January 10, 1874:
The necessity and the glorious effect re-
sulting from the cause which that necessi-
ty prompted, were acknowledged by the
whole country, and he would even say by
the whole civilized world. Then as far as
this bill is concerned, as be (Mr. Douglas)
could not say whether their acts were le-
gal or illegal, he cared not whether Gene
raj jackson violated the Constitution or
not.
If his acts were necessary to the defense
of the country, that necessity was above
all law. General Jackson hazarded exery-
thing; he hazarded life and reputation on
that step, which might render him immor-
tai if he saved the country, or, on the con-
trary, make him ignominious, and by
word and a reproach; and the man that
dared to do that deserved the protection
and the plaudits of his country. He did
not envy the feelings Of that man who
could get up and talk calmly and cooly
under such circumstances, about rules Of
court and technicalities Of proceeding,
when the city might be in flames,
and the utmost barbsrity might be
committed. What were rules of
court but a mere cob-web when the found
an enemy with cannon at the doors Of their
courts, and they saw the flames encircling
the cupola? Talk then about the rules of
courts and the formalities of proceedings
| The man that would do this would fiddle
while the Capitol was burning. Sensa-
| ton He could nat envy any man in the
the possession of such stoical philosophy
Talk about illegality Talk about formal
/ tiles Why there was but one formality
to be observed, and that was the formality
of directing the cannon, and destroying
the enemy regardless of the means, whether
it be by the seizure of cotton bage, or the
seizure of persons, if the necessity CT the
case require.
The God of nature has conferred this
right on men and nations; and, therefore
let him not be told that it was unconstitu-
! tional To defend the country let him moi
/ be told that it was unconstitutional to use
| the necessary means. The Constitution
was adopted for the protection of the cOun-
| try, and under that Constitution the ma
ton had a right to exercise all the powers
that was necessary for the protection Of
the country. If martial law was neeessa-
ry to the salvation of the country, martial
law was legal for that purpose. If it was
necessary for judge, for the preservation
of order to punish for contempt, he thought
it necessary for a General to exercise con-
troll over his cannon, to imprison traitors
to arrest spies, and to intercept commune
cation with the enemy. If this was ne
! cessary this was legal.

the time set for using them, viii not of
course enforce the penalties for the non

made to the Tax Law, and which is not
published in the pamphlet containing that
law, 1t is provided that the documents re-
quired to be stamped shall not be made
null and void, on account Of no stamps
being attsched thereto, until the first of

Brisadier General Jefferson c. Davis.


General Jefferson c. Davis, whose name
has gained a sudden and unenviable noto-
riety, by his shooting Major General Will
liam Nelson, at the Calf House, Louisville,
KY, is an officer in the regular army,
which he entered on the 18th of June
l84S, as Second Lieutenant in the First Ar
tillery The numerous vacancies caused
by the casualties during the Mexican war
rendered it necessary to appoint a good
many vacancies from civil life General
Davis was one of these, his appointment
being credited to Indiana, his native State
In February, 1852, he was appointed to a
First Lieutenancy, and served in that
grade until the l4th of May, 1861, when
he was made Captain of Company E, in
the room of Captain Abner Doubleday, Of
Fort Sumter fame, who was promoted to a
Majority in the Seventeenth Infantry, Just
then organizing. In the Fall of 1861,
Captain Davis received leave of absence
from the War Department to enable him
to accept the Colonelcy of the Twentieth
Indiana Volunteers, to which he had been
appointed by Governor Morton. He served
at the head of his regiment with consider
able credit, and in December, 1861, he was
nominated for Brigadier Generalship of
Volunteers, his appointment being publish
ed in General Orders on the 10th Of June,
1862. For some time past General Davis
has been with his brigade in Missouri
Although not particularly brilliant, he is
nevertheless considered competent artil-
lery officer, and until the present unhappy
occurrence, has conducted himself as an
officer and gentleman.

The New .IronsiIes.
A Fortress Monroe letter, dated Sept.

A Fortress Monroe letter, dated Sept.
9th, says:
The new Ironsides, Capt. Turner. having
received her masts at Philadelphis. re-
turned to the roads last evening, and this
morning proceeded to Newport News. Her
anchorage is net far from the grand old
frigate Minnesota, right off the Point, at
the mouth of James River The Merrimac
No. 2, or any other number, may now
come at any time it my select. The Moni-
tor, Minnesota, and New Ironsides, may
safely be trusted in any emergency.
On the passage from Philadelphia the
New Ironsides encountered very rough
weather, and had good test of her sea-
going qualities, which understand Capt.
Turner to say proved to be Of the first
order. Though she cannot be classed as
fast sailer, yet her speed is fair and trust
worthy. On the whole, this irod-clad is a
fine success, and at present is probably
equal to anything that floats.
By the commencement Of the new year,
1 understand, the number of iron-clads
which will be in commission in our navy,
will be about fifteen; and by the time the
year closes, the number, even if only pres
ent plans are carried out, will be increas-
ed to not less than forty, which probably
will be greater than all the irOn-clads of
the rest of the world.

Gen. George W. SIOrsnn's Movements

Gen. George W. NIorgan's Movements.
We have reliable information from Gen.
Morgan, who is ascertained to have evac-
uated Cumberland Gap, and to be now
pushing toward point on the Ohio River
which it would not be well just now to
designate.
Upon leaving the Gap, he fred the mines
and flied the mountain pass with rocks
and earth, completely blockading the pass.
All the stores, munitions of war, artillery,
Sc, which he could not bring with him,
were destroyed. He did not leave FIVE
dollars worth Of spoils for the enemy.
His force is much stronger than is gem
orally supposed, as he has been Joined by
large numbers of East Tennesseeans. In
the cavalry and artillery arms of the SER
vice, Gen. Morgan is strong. The COM
bined forces of Heath and Marshall have
moved to intercept Morgan.
There is, we presume, no doubt of Nor
gan's ability to cope successfully with any
rebel force which may attempt to intercept
his movement
Important operations are now progress
ing, which, it is fair TO infer, will result
favorably to our cause.-Cin. CON-, lst

People in travelling take little heed to
their pockets. Two thieves occupy seats
In a arailrOad train, and enter into CONVEX
satiOn loud enough to be heard through the
whole car. One thief personates "re-
turned prisoner" or wounded officer, and
at once all ears are intent on hearing his
narrative. While this is going on, a con-
fsderate plies his art in picking the pOck-
cts Of the people whose attention is ab-
sSrbed in another direction. Coming from
