AN INTERESTING CEREMONY.
Retaliation Regularly Maugurated.

NetdttuttoH ACfJUtuTtV IHu1.JufUteC'
/ On Monday morning the 9th inst, the central
reception room of the Libby prison at Richmond,
was the scene of ceremony exceedingly interest
ing, though painful, yet less painful than neces-
sary The particulars are thus given by the
Enquirer of yesterday:
The Government having become thoroughly ad-
vised oftLe murder of two Confederate officers in
Kentucky, Captains Corbin and McGraw, by Gen.
Burnside, for recruiting for the Confederate
army in that State, determined at once to take
measures of retaliation
On Sunday, Captain Turner, commandant of the
prison, received the order from Gen. Winder to
proceed with the drawing by lot of two officers, from
among the three hundred helt there in confne-
ment, to suffer the death penalty in pursuance of
this determination; and On yesterday at the hour
above mentioned, the officers we're marched down
from their apartments on the second floor to the
reception room. A table, at which Captain Turn
er stood, was placed in the centre of the room,
and the prisoners were ranged in square about it.
The roll was then called by the clerk. Two
officers were absent, and these being very i'll, were
not deemed fit subjects for the measures about to
be adopted. Capt. Turner then read the order of
Gen. Winder, and Informed the prisoners that
they were at liberty to select one of their own
number, or if they preferred it, one of their chap
lains, three of whom present, to draw the
lots. They selected one Of the latter, the Rev. Dir
Brown, he being the eldest.
The lots consisted of the names of the Ulcers
written each upon separate slip of paper, which
was folded over to present blank exterior. They
were placed in wooden box, some eighteen inches
long by eight in square width, and the arrange
nent was that the first two names drawn out would
deignate the two doomed to suffer the penalty of
death. -.
The scene was one Of great soleinnity. Every
man seemed endeavoring to nerve himself to dare
the fate which awaited but two of their number
MIR Brewn-stepped forward and-drew~in- success
ion two lots One bore the name of Capt Henry
". Sawyer, of the LIST New Jersey Infantry, and
Captain John Flynn, of the 5lst Indiana regiment.
A shade of relief came over the general appear
of the body and settled into an expression of
sorrow The two doomed men did not speak, and
all remained for moment silent. They were or
dered to step forward and the resi- were marched
back to their quarters.
Upon being taken into the Commandments Office,
the two men evinced some signs of agitation, and
IN few minutes Sawyer wept bitterly as he sat
down to write last letter to bis wife. Flynn,
however, gave no further sign of emotion They
were then taken before Gen. Winder who duly re-
turned them prison under commitment to
close confinement until the day of execution.

INTERESTING TO ALIENS.

In the Charleston Confederate Court, on Mon
day, Judge Magrath delivered his opinion in the
cases argued before him last week to ties. the liza
biity of alien residents to CONSUMPTION:
The Judge sustained the CONSUMPTION act, and
held that alien residents were affected with all the
liabilities it imposes. The authority of Congress
to pass the act was held in perfect consistency
with the rule of international law, which imposed
on the Government of these States the duty Of
protection, and this drew after it, as its conse-
quenee, the obligation on the resident of obedience
and allegiance During war alien residents in
these States were considered by the other bellig
erents as much enemies as they who were citizens.
Their property like that Of citizens, is liable to
reprisal, and Che power of the Government was
exercised for the protection Of the one as
much as the other. The obligations of the alien
to assist in the defence of the country in which
he resides is not denied and it only be by the
Government of the country which could deter
mine the services he should render. While he
resides 10 the country, and has no other barthens
imposed on him than such as every citizen bore,
there should be no complaint Whenever a
foreign country did interfere in behalf of its sub
iects resident under another Government, it never
could 60 further than to claim the protection which
the citizen has. To give to the alien resident the
same protection the citizens, but affect them
with none of the dangers which the citizens had
country for the benefit of the aiieR But it was
denied that while the alien chose to reside there
and receive the protection of the Government of
the Confederate States, and that protection was
equal to that which the citizen received, the Gov
eminent which claimed bis allegiance could inter-
fere 1t did not give him protection there either
as to his person or his property. 1t permitted him
to come into the territories of another Govern
ment, and that became responsible for his conduct
to other nations. Such had been the doctrine in
sisted on in the case of Spain. The strict en-
foreement of the obligation ON the resident to
render allegiance and obedience in return for pro-
lection was asserted by the Congress in 1875, by
the several States, and by none strongly than
South Carolina in 1778 And the doctrine has
since been maintained that national character in
war is quickly acquired. At its commencement
the alien may depart. But if he does not do SO,
and continues his residence, he is identified with
the country, and is regarded as an enemy by the
other bellieerent.
The above is an imperfect note of the opinion
which contained an exposition of the rule of In
ternatonal law, as adopted from its foundation by
the Government of the United States, and is to
be considered as still recognized in the Confeder-
ate States.
