We extract the following from General Orders

Legislation by the War Department.
We extract the following from General Orders
No. 90, by Adjutant General Cooper:
"The following regulation will be in addition to
those heretofore published in regard to substitutes
Hereafter every person furnishing substitute, in
accordance with existing regulations shall become
liable to, and be Immediately enrolled for military
Duty upon the loss of the services Of the substitute
furnished by bin from any cause other than the
casualties of war"
This is nothing more than hgislation by tho War
Department Congress has passed a law providing
that substitutes shall be received into the army, and
the above order is an addition to the law Congress
has not provided that if the substitute shall desert
the principal shall take bis place. After the prin-
cipal puts in his substitute, he has right to do
under the law bis control over him, and bis means
Of controlling him cease.
We take it for granted, if any case of the kind
should arse that Courts will declare this order
of the Adjutant. General null and void.

FOREIGNERS AND CUNSULs.

Judge w. G. Jones, of the Confederate Court for
Alabama has lstely given, at Mobile, q Judgment
and opinion the liability of a. residents to the
conscription. As to foreigners a,I Cousuls, he
says:
The petitioner, McXinu, produces certificate,
dated at Mobile, 26th Nay 1853, signed by her
Britannia Majestys acting Consul at Mobile and
under the Consular SEAL to the osst that the act

1t is not for any Court to determine whether for.

such. Nor is it necessary, in these cases. to inquire
into the powers and duties Of Oonsuls. These pow
ers are generally prescribed by laws and trcaties-
| know of no law or treaty which authorizes for
egn Consul to exempt any person. domicsd in this
country from obedience to our laws. The Consuls
certificate. in this case, does no. pretend to do any
such thing 1t merely states the b,!if Of the Con-
sui that the party named in it is British subject,
and such entitled to the protection Of the Queen
1t is notice to any person to whom it is shown that
the Consul considers him British subject, and
nothing more. If the person hzviEg such certih.
cate is really, and in fact liable hy law to conscrp-
ton, the certificate would not Of itself exempt him.
But it seems to me that an enrolling officer ought to
respect such certificate far as ot to enroll the
person having it without first making inquiries, and

FROM the outset of this war the Editor of the
Standard has strained every nerve to render it
odious to the people, and We now believe, has had
settled purpose to bring about the reconstruction Of
the Union.-Register
1t is not true that we have endeavored to render
the war odious to the people. On the contrary, we
voted in the Convention for men and means to pros.
ecute the war; and up to the last call for conscrpts
by the President we have invariably encouraged our
felow-citizens to enter the service to endure its
hardships and privations and to die if needs be, in
defence of the country. Our readers recollect the
appeals we have frequently made to absentees and
dsserters to return to their regiments. Does that
look like "strsinins every nerve to render the war
odous to the people3" But the cause has been in.
jured and the administration q. Richmond has ren.
dered itself odious to our people by its incapac,ty,
its msmansgement Of our affairs, and by its prodi.
gal and wastefuf use and misappication of our re-
sources, as we'll as by Aspghty manner in which
it has insulted and tn I'D on North. Carolina
We have complained oR and resented this, and en-
deavorsd Range n; and because we have done
so, for thu I'D Of our cause and on account of our
own State and people, we have been maligned, mis-.
represented, and abused, not only by the Register,
but by every mere puppet Of power. in the country
our votes in the Convention could have prevailed,
ard if the policy in relation to State defence advo-
Gated by this paper had been adopted Eastern Car.
olns would not have been desolated nor would the
enemy have been tearing up, the Weldon and Will
mington Road, and burning property along its line
at pleasure. 1t is the policy of the Register and its
friends in this State, and of the administration at
Richmond, which has rendered the war unpopular,
and opened Eastern Carolina as far west as the Rail-
road mentioned to the ravages Of the enemy.
Nor is it true that we have I" settled purpose to
bring about reconstruction Of the Union" Every
purpose of political nature which we have, is
frankly announced to our readers. Does not the
Register know that in the event Of being overrun
and conquered by the enemy, reconstruction would
be impossibles Does he not know that Mr.. Lin
coin would say, "Gentlemen, you cannot recon.
struct what you have not destroyed. Indeed, you
have never been out of the Union You thought
you were, but you are mistaken. Resume your
duties as members of the Union, on footing with
the most favored Statesi" We tell the Register
that We have been, and still are devoted to the
ofipdspendsp0n but as We stated in the article on
the subject Of peace We fear that the chances are
against us. We did not make those chances, and
we. cannot change them. We are Respondent but
we are not in despair. We toll the people the
truth and for this We are csnsured. We should

ernment as profoundly and as acutely - would the

A German View Of the War-

The st, Louis An2eiyer, a German organ
in 81. Louis, notices statement in the
Scientific American, that this country Is
growing rich aud prosperous under The
horrors OF civil war, and says:
So this war makes us rich, does it Oh
yes those who glory in contracts and fat
offices, or in cotton, among whom are also
honest men and many thieves, without
shoulder straps. in New York alone, one
hundred and fifty Wholesale houses are
pointed out, the owners Of which have be-
come mllionares through the war, an d
are now revelllng IN a luxury such as the
world has never before seen. these gen
tlemen, OF course would not make any OBJ
lection if the var were 10 con linao three
years or more.
1t is also correct that business is brisk
in the Centre of commerce, trade and
manufactures. at least in certain branches.
But tho people, the country at large - how
are they TO make riches by the war Per
haps by the destruction Of cities and viii
lagos and farm houses, OF bridges and rail
roads and smiling corn fields? Have we,
perhaps, grown rich here iu Missouri,
where there are districts in which. for

of their tools ofagriculture, profession, art
or trade? Or is the country enriched by
having its youth killed of in the battle
fields, by having lost already, by sword,
bullets and sickness, five hundred tEous-
andproducers-ths country so thinly pop

The Consumption Law Declared to be
Unconstitutional

We have often said that, if the net Of
Congress, known as the Conscriptiun Law,
was Constitutional, or il it was not IN
plain violation Of that chartero American
liberty that then in that case, all our
previously conceived notions and ideas of
the relative powers granted % and "ro-
served from, and to, aud by the People.
the States, and the Federal Government,
were altogether wrons that that act was
either inconsistent with our system OF
Government, or else we were entirely ig-
noraut a. to the kind Of Government un.
Ter which we lived that il il is Constitu-
tioual, then all our ideas about State Sow
ereignty. States Rights, aud Pennsylvania
being a great sovereign independent
Commonwealth, Authorized to form and
regulate her domestic institutions in her
own way, with undispuled power to con
troi her own militia, were not only un.
sound, but grossly wrong.
Such was our opinion from the begin.
ulng, and We did not hesitate so TO express
il. # the founders Of our Government
established a Republic Representative
Goysrament-wAicn they themselves be-
iieved they had, and for which the whole
world has given them immortal credit FOR
doing--if the States each possess " repub-
lican form OF government (and it is the
duty of Congress to guarantee " them
such how preposterous The idea that the
'mi.itia OF such SatcS-the most essen
tial element of sovereignty can he Con
scripted into the Federal seryice! The
idea is ridiculous ard five have the
good fortune ever to have restored
country, those wLo now hold this mon
strous doctrine Of Capitalization will hide
their heads in very shame. The miserable
plea-borrowed from every tyront that
has ever disgraced God 5 too,otooI--o ujG-
tary necessity will only add 10 their conru.
sion.
The question of the Constilutionaity Of
this law came before the Supreme Court
Of Pennsylvania, at pttsburg, last week,
on an appea! of three citizens Of Philadel-
phia who had been conscripted Chief
Justice Lowrie, and Justices Woodward
and Thompson, being majority Of the
court, united IN the opinion that the law
is unconstitutional Justices Strong and
Read delivered adverse opinions.
1t is supposed the question will now go
before the Supreme Codrt of the United
States, which is the tribunal Of final resort.
Until this is done, how stand those who
are, or may be, affected by the Couscrip-
tion Law Will Il ere be any further at
tempt TO enforce ii in Pennsylvania? q?
Certainly not for tha! would Je rcpohaon.
Our highest Judicial tribunal has pro-
nounced it TO be no i1lc. This decree is as
bindiHg upon the Executive as it is upon
the humblest citizen and until it is car
ried before the Federal Supreme Court,
and this opinion there reversed, any at
tempt to execute the CONSUMPTION Law in
Pennsylvania, should he, and must he.
resisted as any other unlawful attempt to
interfere with the rights of the citizen.
