The TRUE PoLIoy.-We learn that General
Scheuck has arrested seditouseditor in Bal.
timore and sent the fellow into the Confeder-
alta lines. That is the true policy. That'is
the policy which should be adopted with such
sympathizers as Vallandigham, Cozzens, Sam
Barlow. and the tribe who inhabit the Copper
head Hotel. Now that the loyal league is
formed, let it be among its Grst duties to sus-
tain this course, and report all such traitors
who are amenable to such rigid treatment
Let the creatures Of sedition be sent to the
Confederate lines, and let our pickets be or
dered to shoot them if they attempts to return
to this favored Christian soil. We have en-
dured the foul breath of treason long enough;
and the South, while in the hands of thevpar-
rhodes of freedom, is only fit to be penal
colony.-[Chicago Tribune. ga -7'@ = & q
IMPORTANT DECISION Judge Treat, Of the
q. s. Circuit Court on Saturday gave an i'm
portant decision in the case Of the United
States rs, 451 bales Of cotton, and United States
%, steamboat Planet, for going from Helena to
Delta and Friar's Point, in November last, and
| taking down supplies to planters residing in
that region, and bringing back the cotton con.
demned in this case. It will be seen from the
| following conclusions reached by the court
that the property transported and the vesse
transporting were condemned Notwithstanding
an alleged permit from the military authorities
at Helena. In rendering his decision Judg,
Treat held, that, under the acts Of Congress.
and the Presidents proclamation pursuen
thereto, all commercial Intercourse with thu
insurrectionary States, or beyond the militar,
lines Of the United States forces, is prohibitet
without license therefor by the President
through the Secretary Of 90 Treasury. Willis
military officers have full authority to proven
even persons with licenses from passing through
or beyond their lines, when military operations
demand such action, no military commander
has any lawful authority to grant alicense t
any one to pass beyond his lines for CONNER
cial enterprises If the expedition beyond tn
lines is merely for military purpose, it is sub
ject solely to military control; but it must no
be for mixed military and commercial objects
Under the Law no military commander has any
authority to license trade with the quasi enc
my country. Hence the permits granted q
Helena, under alleged military authority, t.
buy and ship cotton from points outside of tn
lines of United States forces or to ship sup
plies by way Of trade to such exterior points
| we're void: and all such cotton and supplies
and the vessels or vehicles transporting tn
same. are forfeited.
Property to the amount Of $1l3,0OO va
condemned by the court under this decision.
