sz~ We find the following in several papers
IN this department:
"The substitute business is about played out
By an order from the Secretary of War, all
substitute papers to be valid, must be counter
signed by the general commanding the army
to which the substitute is sent. As generals
dislike substitutes, they will not countersign.
and the business will receive its quietus.''
We hope this has not been written by any
one authorized to speak for the generals.
There are many cases of persons liable to
military service, and not by any general law
entitled 20 exemption, who feel the most pres
sing and sacred obligations Of domestic ma
ture to remain at home. Congress, in its wis
dom, has seen fit to provide means whereby
this may be Effected 1t does not thereby ex-
empt the person from service, but compels him
to furnish an able and competent person to fill
his place, so that the army may not suffer. 1t
gives the right to employ substitute Ger
tainly this right will be abused, and many
worthless men will avail themselves of it to
stay at home for purposes of speculation and
extortion- But that was a matter for the con-
sidsration Of Congress itself, and furnishes no
ground to generals in the army to set aside the
law as impolitic, and substitute q different
policy in its stead. Generals should be SER
wants Of the law, and not legislators. In case
Of fraud or collusion between a soldier and
inferior officers Or surgeons to place in the
Eervice an improper substitute, it hight be well
enough to empower the general to interfere
for cause 4; but for q general arbitrarily to re-
fuse to receive substitute, decided to be
competent by the proper officers, on the ground
of public policy, is an undue assumption Of
authority which is in contempt of the laws Of
the land. 1t is not only represensible in itself,
but certainly productive of much evil conse.
quence.
Our cause cannot be sustained through q
long contest without implicit obedience to the
constitution and laws Of the land, by high and
low. II is TRANCE that military commission
should have such tendency to make one for.
settthss he is citizen, and assume the die.
tstor. 1t is the crying evil of the times. II
is the greatest breeder of disaffection. and
should be guarded against carefully.

OBTTUAR

On the 10th of November, 1862, at the rest
dence of Charles W. Phillips. Esq, near Mon
roe, Louisiana, died George Crockett, Esq, OF
Nashville, Tennessee, in the 74th year Of his
age.
And, at the same place, on the Sd
of January, 1863, died Mrs. Margaret Crockett,
his wife, in her 74th year also, lingering bat
little while to take leave Of those dear to
them both on earth, before joining him with
whom she had made life's pilgrimage.
1t is only short time ago that the dec ;ase
Of these old personal friends came to our
knowledge. We cannot let them depart with
out our tribute to their worth.
Few Of the old citizens Of Middle Tennessee
will fail TO remember George Crockett. Both
he and his wife wera of Scotch-Irish extrac-
has infused no little share Of life and energy
into the South. They emigrated at an early
age from the North of ireland, and were mar
ried at Philadelphia in the year 1914. Setting
ont 70 seek home in the West, they stopped
a while at Pittsburg and at Louisville, and the
same year settled at Nashville. where they re-
mained until their white hairs were driven
into exile by the invaders-never to return
again.
George Crockett was one of the m0st exteR-
sive and successful merchants in Tennessee
His name was known far and wide throughout
the commercial cities Of the Union, and was
synonymous with integrity. He extended his
operations very widely, and fell in the crash OF
1887. He failed honorably, aud in such
manner as TO draw to him the respect, the sym
pathy and the confidence Of the whole coH-
munity. few years afterwards be was made
the President OF the Merchants Insurance and
Trust Co., which place he filed with honor Tor
many years.
He was thoroughly identified with the South,
and would not endure the presence % the in
vad er in the city in which he had spent the
best years Of his life, and drawn to himself the
respect and love of the citizens. He left the
city-himself and his faithful companion, ard
took refuge at the house Of their son-in-lsw,
Charles Phillips, Esq The trees we're too old
TO bear transplanting in earthly soil. Grief,
change Of climate, the feeling perhaps that
their mission in life was fully accomplished,
did its natural work with our aged friends.
He soon departed-5pathe better Cline and the
faithful partner Of his joys and cares could not
hnger long behind him.
We, who knew them both in the most init
mate family relations, say how all loved
and honored them pure Christians, benevo-
lent in prosperity, firm, truthful and dignifed

Enquirer, writing from Hookers head.
quarters, says that for some time past
news had been conveyed to the rebels very
rapidly, correctly and mysteriously. The
means of communication for while bafled
all efforts at detection. The discovery
was at length made as follows:
Yesterday their efforts were crowned
with success. One of the guards in the
town of Falmouth, stationed outside .
dwelling house near the river bank, heard
clicking like that of telegraph instru
nent. He advised his superior officers
and was directed 10 enter the house and
investigate.
This was done, and on opening the dool
he discovered party of four or FIVE per.
sons, one of whom was seated at tele.
graph instrument, sending messages by .
submarine wire across the Rappahannock
They are all arrested. A just and
speedy punishment will doubtless be at
once meted out to them. This punish.
'nent, according to the laws of war, is
death.

Hon. L. B. GREsS.-we find in the Gazette
of the 9th inst. the following extract of let
ter from Camden, dated June 18th, 1868.
''Last week Judge Green turned loose upon
the community two Of the most noted Jayhawk.
ers, caught in the Calhoun county rebellion.
One Of the men can be proven to have been in
the shooting scrape in said county, in which
affair two of our men we're killed. If there is
not a stop put to such discharging Of disloyal
men, our country will soon be in a wretched
condition. These rascais are already jubilant
over their victories against the military su tho
ties, and well they may be-"
We know nothing Of the circumstances re-
ferred to, but We know Judge Green intimately
as man and judicial officer. We are enabled
thereby to assure the people Of his circuit
most confidently, that there is not in the South
ern Confederacy Judge Of purer patriotism,
or Of more impartial motives. II be has dis
charged parties brought before him by writ Of
habeas corpus, who ave odious and dangerou,
to the community, it is because be believed
that the laws Of the land compelled him to do
50, and he could not have done otherwise with.
out violation Of his official oath.
He may certainly be mistaken in the Law
that point We cannot decide without the case
before Us. But that he has administered it as
he understood it, without any question Of its
policy, or regard to external influences, we
have no shadow Of doubt. We pray that the
time may never come when judges win do
otherwise.
Washington telegraph., 1863-07-01

STATE JURIsDICTIoE.-0ur friend of the
Gazette has leader criticising oar remarks
upon the jurisdiction of State Courts to dis
charge parties claimed to be Illegally held in
custody by the military authorities. Upon, q
careful consideration of his article, we do not
find that we differ. 1t is true that the Con.
fsderate Government has the constitutional
right to call citizens of the States into the
military service, and that when so called and
taken into service, the State judiciary have no
right to discharge them. But the question is
whether the State courts have the right to ra-
lease from undue and arbitrary custody. those
who are not redhired to do service bv the
laws of the COnfederacy, ana who are nev.
ertheiess taken and held by enrolling officers
and others. The State courts are bound n
respect the laws of the Confederacv. and re-
mand to service all who are subject to those
laws This they have always, wesfhink. at
tempted to do. But they ertainly have the
right to enquire whether an individual held nv
an officer is properly held under the Confede-
rate law, and if not, to discharge him. This
has been decided often in the old government.
and lately in Herbert's case by our Supreme
Court. The case is not analogous to the fugi-
tive slave cases which he refers to. There the
State judges refused obedience to the law of
Congress. In the cases in question the State
judges do not refuse obedience to the Confede-
rate law, but compel others to strict obedi-
ence also, by confning them to the powers CON-
ferred.
To illustrate. Suppose person fifty years
OF age to be taken and held as a conscrint
Our State courts surely have the right to en-.
qulre into the facts, and say to the officer that
ne is himself acting in contravention Of the
Confederate law. They have jurisdiction of
the case to inquire whether or not the prisoner
is legally subject to conscription, or whether
held by arbitrary caprice. If found subject to
service under the laws of Congress, the court
should remand him to the officer: if not. il
should release him.
otherwise we have no protection of personal
liberty. 1t is impracticable in fact to obtain
access to Confederate Judge in time to OBJ.
tain full and complete protection. His posi-
tlon is too remote from most parts of the State.
Justice should lie as near the door of the citi
zen as possible.
