PRINCIPALS AND SUBsTIrUTEs.-The following ex-
tract from the recent message of Gov. Lstcher to
the General Assembly of Virginia, will meet the
approval of every honest man in tie country:
when this war commenced, was opposed to
tne substitute system, and my opinion was well
known. But in opposition to my wishes and views,
t was adopted by the State and Confederate au-
tnorlties. Substitutes have been rendered and &C.
cepted Tor three years. under the laws both of the
state and Confederacy; and the policy having been
estaolshed, whether right or wrong, it is now too
late TO controVer: it Under the action of both
governments, it became binding and subsstinc
contract, and as such should be respected and o6-
served. Contracts between governments and indi-
vduals should at all times be held sacred and invo-
liable. No government which violates them can
long maintain its character for honor or integrity.
When these are forfeited by government, the pub
lie confidence in it is at an end.
Many of these subStitutiobs, as / understand, are
now disregarded and set aside notwithstanding the
TACT that the parties have paid large to obtain
the men who are to fill their places. This is done
upon the idea that the States had no right or au.
lhorlty to receive substitutes before the troops
were turned over to the Confederate authorities.
IL such be the doctrine, enter my protest against
againstl and leave to the parties to controVert the
question before the courts. There the applications
Will receive hearing, and will, have no doubt,
be fairly and justly decided. recommend the sub.
ject to your consideration.
am in favor of every man doing his duty in this
war, but at the same time am equally in favor of
the inViolability of contracts. When the govern
ment makes an agreement with party, good faith
requires that it should respect it and carry it out
No government which shows disregard of its vol.
UNFAIRLY incurred obligations can hope to prosper
Honesty, fair dealing and strict compliance with
obligations assure confidence, and unite the people
firmly to the government. l trust therefore, that
the conscript bureau will give to this question the
most serious consideration before further steps
taken"

We commend the following, from the Richmond
Examiner to the Fayetteville Observer and others,
vino are constantly denouncing what they are
pleased to call "croakers" In the language of the
Examiner, an original secession paper there are
persons among US who cannot bear the truth-who
"UouM shut euery mouth that is not filled scith
idle wicEed praise of those Oho. haze f-ittered
a,OGy the might of the South" Let the truth be
told at all hazards. 1t is crime at time like this
to conceal the truth from the people:
"This is a struggle for life and property. Every
man who possesses any thing, whether it be shelter
for his head, bread for his mouth, shirt for his
back is concerned to that extent in the success of
the Confederacy. Most men who have necks to be
stretched bodies to be stabbed and shot, inter-
ested to that extent in the public defence. With
these motives to earnestness it argues great want
OF intelligence to rest coniented in view Of disasters
that many steps to absolute ruin and probable
death Of every man in the country. Yet there
would seem to be two ways of regarding those dis
asters and those who have produced them. There
certainly two classes among those who speak,
and pretend, at least, to think about public affairs.
One would shut every mouth that is not filled with
idle wicked praise of those who have frttered away
the might of the South They would even deny
that there any disasters. The currency is admi
rable. Missouri, Tennessee, Kentucky, Maryland,
Virginia and Arkansas hourishing and well
governed we'll protected independent and happy
Confederate States Chckamauga was glorious
Confederate victory. Bragg, Pemberton and Lowell
beloved servants of the South, and deserve med
ais of honor. The Confederate navy all right.
Our European prospects have been Frightening every
day since the war began Or if it is found necessa-
ry at times to acknowledge to the contrary of this,
we are mperiously informed that the welfare of the
country requires the country to hold its tongue,
shut its eyes and especially not to utter word OF
censure or search after the causes and authors OF
misfortunes. There are alarge number of weak and
low minded persons who like this advice and call it
patriotic With neither fortitude, nor honesty, nor
courage enough to look the truth in the face they
want to be told every morning that nothing is wrong
and that We are getting along swimmnglJ."

SUBSTITUTE PAPERs.-We understand that Con.
federate officers are calling on the principals of
substitutes to furnish them with the original papers
showing that they have put substitutes in the ar
nv. Whatever reason may be alleged for this de-
mand there is no law for it. When the govern
ment accepted the substitute it contracted with the
principal to discharge him from service; and the
original paper or certificate in the hands of the
principal is the best evidence of the existence of
the contract We advise principals to hold on to
their papers, Their right to do so is as good as
their right to their coats hats, or any other prop

Immediately, and as the general law requires that
thirty days shall elapse before the act can go into
effect it is said to be clear by legal gentlemen with
whom we have conversed, that no term of the Court
