in July, 1S47, and Col. Davis was ordered
lone. While in New Orleans, he received
from the President POLK the commission of
Brlgadler-Genersl OF volunteers, but declined
the honor on the ground that neither Congress
nor the Presidenth had right to make such an
| appointment. The Constitution reserved to
the States respectively, the appointment of Of
hcers OF the militia, and consequently the as
sumption OF this duty by the Federal Govern
ment, was violation Of the Rights OF the
States. -tF i @a "ei ts,
I Andshon goes es on to say:
| The Constitution he was then living under.
is exact in words with the present one on these
points; and he preferred to retire to private
life, from the midst ofhis fame and usefulness
than violate it. This act Of devotion to Consti.
tutional right contributed as much, perhaps,
as any other, to elevate him to his present exal-
ted station.
Now, President Davis did not make
tho law-Congress madeit The Pres.
ident sanctioned it, and if some can find
in such sanction any variance with the
former position alluded to by Judge
Thomas, the very variance itself will
prove two things: lst, that the Presi.
dents heart isright, and that he would
readily sacrifice famo and position rath-
er than infract the rights Of State, or
suffer such infraction by others to ele-
vate himto place and honor. I'd, that
if he believed the Conscript Act in any
way violation of State Rights, it was
a neccssity,a q dernlcr resort, to save a
people who, if conquered, would have
no rights at ALL But some men would,
it seems, lose all rights in sticking for
distractions. The question for us to
consider is, how shall we maintain TIA
rights we now enjoy? Surely not by
sowing dissensi ion among our own peo-
pie. Ifwar takes away for awhile one
httleright, belonging to States, surely
the States ought not to grumble when
they sec freedom and power accrulng
to them in the future because thereof. |
We destroy bridges, burn cities, ETC.,
which acts in themselves are oppres.
sion, but if they arc the means of de-
feating our enemy, we all acquiesce, as
we ought to do. Lincoln is waging an
unholy war upon all the Southern
States, and if he should succeed, God
lkvdows we will have no rights at all
If the Conscription Act shall defeat
such intention on the part of the Fede-
raj Government, God knows it is base
to disregard, by word, thought o. act,
the agent by which such defeat is to be
caused. ..

We notice In the Atlanta (Ga) Con-
federacy the decision of one Judge
Thomas, in albert Superior Court" /"
September Term, declaring the con-
script law unconstitutional in a case
tried before him, in which the principles
of the Act were involved. We do not
publish the decision because we think
it calculated to injwe cur cause by
giving croakers a amsy pretext for
inveighing against ? measure which
time has proven w4 the salvation Of
our country. Besides, the Judge ex-
hibits in his decision a spleen-a pique
against our President, which should be
alien to the dignity IF such official. We
would not attempt to underrate the su'

Music OF the Port Royal negroes.

The Editor of Dwights Journal of NIu-
sic publishes a letter from Miss Lucy NJ
Kim, of Philadelphia, accompanying q
specimen of the songs in YOgs among
the negroes Of Port Royal Miss MKim
accompanied her father thither on a recent
visit, and writes as follows:
at is difficult to express the entire
character of these negro ballads by mere
musical notes and signs. The odd turns
made in the throat, and the curious
rythmic effect produced by single voices
Ginning in at different irregular intervals
almost us impossible to place on score as
the singing of birds or the tones Of an
KOlian harp. Tho airs, however, can be
reached. They are too decided not to be
easily understood, and their striking
originality would catch the ear of any
musician. Besides this, they are valua-
bic as an expression of the character and
life of the race which is playing such a
conspicuous part in our history. The
wild, sad strains tell as the sufferers
themselves never could, of crushed hopes
keen sorrow, and q dull daily misery
which covered them as hopeless as the
fog from the rice sWamps. On the other
hand, the words breathe trusting faith
in rest for the future-in 'Canan's fair
and happy land.' to which their eyes seem
constantly turned.
"a complaint might be made against
these songs on the score of monotony 1t
is true there is great deal of reputation
Of the music, but that is TO accommodate
the leader, who, if he be a good one, is
always an improvisation. For instance,
ON one occasion the name Of each of our
party who was present was dexterously
introduced
''As the same song is sung at all sorts

is not in spirit of boastiug, OF in dispar-
agement of other regiments, but being in

The material composing the Second Vir-

war cry been raised than the hardy sons
