W. W. HOLDEN, ESQ., Il shall be. under addi-
tional obligations to you, if you will insert this no.
tice in your paper
My son, Franklin Workman, was conscripted. He
was placed in company F, I'd regiment N. G. T.
The company was commanded by Capt Cole to
whom have written, but received no answer. Ny
son wrote me on the 9th Of September from Mary
land: Ee did not know man in his company or
regiment. Any information of him will be thank
fully received.
Those who resort to conscription might have hui
manity enough in them to place the young men Of
the country among their acquantances. 1t is q
convenience to friends and parents; one from o
ne!ghborhood can take food and clothes for many,
thus serving q whole community 1t is great
comfort and convenience to the youthful conscript
many of them for the frsttime ten miles from home.
In company of their acquaintances they will feel
BETTER fight BETTER and if needs be- die happier than
in company of strangers. If sick, they will better
cared for.
The soldier and the soldier parents owe you
much. You are one of the few public men who
have stood fast and irmly by them. May God give
yoa stesngth to overcome all enemies Of good gov
ernment, is the wish of your humble servant.

Mr.. HOLDEN Il am requested to ask you the

Are persons who have furnished substitutes un-
der the conscrpt law subject to militia duty p-and
those who have certificates of exemption under
said act, such as blacksmths, millers, &c.f Also,
are men over fortyfve years of age subject to mill
tia duty? G.
1t has been decided by the Adjutant General that
persons who have furnished substitutes are liable
to militia duty.
Those who are exempted under the conscript law,
as blacksmiths and the like, pre- also LIABLE with
the following exceptions, mentioned in the militia
law passed at the last session: One miller for each
public mill, and two blacksmiths who have estab-
lshed shops in each Captains district These are
exempted.
Persons over forty-fve are not liable, As tho law
extending the time of service beyond that age was
repealed by the last Legislature.
Every white male between the ages of eighteen
and forty five is liable to militia duty. with the ex-
ton of those specially exempted by chapter 81 Of
the laws Of the last Legislature. We have already
published this law in the Standard, but We will

The 1rvin Case.

We publish to-day, as matter Of public interest
all the papers in the case of John NJ Irwin, released
on writ Of ha6eas corpus by Chief Justice Pear
SOD, and Afterwards arrested and held at Camp
Holmes "
The decision Of the Chief Justice, it seems to us
is founded in reason and justice, and is true ex-
position of the law on the subject We concur
with the Hillsborough Recorder that
THE first conscript law, if it intended to pre-
serve for future use all under forty five years. was
defective It should have provided that no substi-
tute under that age should be taken; otherwise
great injustice may be done to individuals. If
man pays ten or fifteen hundred dollars, or more,
as has been in some cases, for . substitute who is
accepted by proper authority, and gets full dis
charge would it not conflict with Justice and fair
dealing to call upon him in month or two alter
wards, to fall into the ranks Seceuse snsw is1 e
passed calling into service class of more ADVANCED
agef As well might he be called to fill up the time,
if his substitute were killed in battle should die
in camp"
The Supreme Court of this State will meet in
this City on Monday next when it is understood
case will be made up and decided involving the
principle in the Irwin case. If the Court should
sustain the Chief Justice in his decision, the Cover
nor will no doubt feel it to be his duty to demand
the release Of Mr.. Irwin and of all others similarly
situated
