The Doctrine of Coercion.
The Winston Sentinel of June 5th takes strong ground
in favor of the Confederate government oing North
Carolina in certain event. That paper speaking of the
conflict gotten that with the decision of
our Chief Justice in the Irwin case, says:
"What must be the result provided the State and Con-
fdeate governments each persists in the marked
out? 1t will introduce in the beginning of
and ruin No one State dare to set at defiance
law of Congress Let straghtout decision against the
consitutonalty Of the conscpt law be made the
authority Of the Chief Executive at Richmond enforce
and the result to be disastrous the great cause
for which much precious blood has been she'd In all
probability the first fruits of such action would be the UNI
conditional suspension of the writ of hGbeas corpus by
Congress such section might be in rebellion and
the establishment Of martha! law throughout the
be regretted but should Judges persist in making
decisions against the authority of the Confederate govern
ment and should those decisions force the State Execu
tive to conflict with that government. Khat other course
posed President and our Generals are going a.
State Judgese We imagine cot Beiare they will sub
to q thing of this kind they will call an extra session
Of Congress and suspend the gea writ of right" alto
This is the Lincoln doctrine Of coercion in its strongest
sense. The rigf ordained for the President andshs
Generals to override the civil Nv in this State and if
Gov Vance should sustain, Ne certainly will, the
decisions OF Judges the State is to be declared Gin
beon and all law to be suspended Such the doctrine
Of the Destructives this State Our people may mag
inc what would have been their condition at this time if
bfr Johnston had been elected Governor Military aw-the
mere edlcts of Generals and their subaterns would have
superseded ell civil law and under gag tsst oath

military cators at Richmond and in this State Bastiles in

Vickshurr and its Defenees.

The appearance of the Confederate de-
lenses in the range Of vision from the
point Of location Of the Lexington, while
lying off Vicksburg, was not so formida-
bic as we had anticipated from considera-
ton Of the long time which they had for
construction. We had been informed that
there were large bodies Of men constantly
employed there when the Lexington made
her last previous trip under flag oftruce.
They had accomplished the erection of
several new works during the interval be-
tween the two trips. ....
We could plainly see that there was 4
considerable number Of earthworks upon
the peninsula opposite the city, and off
which the Lexington was lying. From the
deck of the Lexington, DcSoto Landing
was nearly opposite, and the U. S. Ma
rine Hospital Immediately in front of
US. The range of hills in the rear
Of the city was coverd with batteries
for several miles above US, below the city,
and two forts and some half dozen maya
zines were plainly visible. The water
batteries could not be seen, but they arc
said to be formidable. Every effort has
evidently been made to improve the long
opportunity given them, and the Confed-
crates express confidence in their ability
to withstand attack.

The Anoka Republican learns from
reliable authority that between two and
three hundred Chippewa Indians are en-
camped in different portions of that coun-
ty, extending through part of Grow,
Centervillc. Oak Grove and St. Francis,
and that they are committing numerous
depredations and causing much uneasi-
mes and fear among the settlers. 1t is
informed Of instances whore they have
shot pigs, and it also learns that two of
the treachcrous miscreants called at the
house of Mr.. Brooks, in St. Francis, du-
ring his absence. and demanded some
thing to eat of his wife, and after provi-
ding dinner for them, as she had been
obliged to for strolling bands of these
vagabonds before. they deliberately pro-
ccededs to ransack the house in search of
plumber, carrying away with them WOOL
en- blankets and bed quilts, IN spite Of
her protcstations and threats. In view
of this state of things, have not these
people reason for feeling uneasy? It is
not safe for man to leave his family IN
kour IN the neighborhood Of these thiev
ing wretches.

Beauty and Murale red.
The Leavenworth Bulletin Of the 10Th
contains an account of one Of the most
fendish instances of rebel crime that has
marked their diabolical deeds during the
war. While the army was near Benton
vile, Arkansas, last spring, secession
young woman often visited the camp, and
made herself very agreeable to the officers.
A Lieutenant in the I'd Indiana battery,
named Masterson, became charmed with
with her, and she pretended to respond
to the passion she had created. Their
relations became quite intimate, and on
one occasion she invited him to visit her
at the residence of her uncle. He unsus-
pcctingly availed himself Of the invitation
to spend an afternoon in her society.
Having been with her about two hours,
she went to the window and raised it, and
at the moment twelve gnerrillas appeared
and fired on him. He fell dead in the house,
and was carried off to a mill pond and the
body thrown into the water. Some four
days after the body foated to the shore,
and was buried by an old man and his
son. After the lapse of four weeks the
body was found, disinterred and identi-
fed BY the comrades of the unfortunate
lieutenant. The day after the commits
sion of the foul deed the following note
was found under the pillow of the young
woman, written apparently, on the eve
of flight in the night time, to escape the
search that followed the next day:
NV Dear Uncle and Aunt:
fhave succeeded. Ny beauty, which you have
day accomplished as much as the patriot general
i'm our glorious Confederacy. am content to
offer my beauty, virtue even life itself, upon my
oountry's altar. Ny bleeding country demands

closes, which pray God may b soon. but whel
It does stop, hope to come and receive the bles

winter Fashions 1. Warrington

Winter Fashions In Washington.
A lady correspondent writes from
Washington:
1.-The fashions this winter are very
comical, the height of the ladies' bonnets
being absolutely ridiculous. Large white
muslin bows, with lacc-trimmed ends, arc
worn instead Of brcast-pins on cloaks and
walking-tlresscs. This has the effect of
making ladies look quite ministerial.
Cloaks are pretty much long sacks, and
braided trimmings are most in favor.
Frizzlcd hair is all the rage. Ladies cut
their lovely locks about four inches long,
and curl them at night over the forehead
and close to the head. These curls are
all combed through in mass next morn
ing, and stand out like darkey's hair,
precisely. l have seen many a dark
skinned woman try as hard to get the
kink out of hair, as our ladies try to get
tin"
