Judge Bronson recognized the rule as fol-
lows: 5" 1t does not occa- to me that
there are more than two cases where
the question of allegiance can have any
thing to do with criminal prosecution.
First, where the accused is charged with
breach of the duty of allegiance, as in
cases OF treason; and second, where the
government proposes to punish offences
committed by its own citizens beyond the
territorial limits of the Stat
The absolute necessity of this power
with respect, at least to tbs crime Of trea-
son, seems very clear. If citizen could
pass beyond the limits of his country, and
there adhere to its enemies, and wage war
against his country, and afterwards retarn
to 1t, aud laugh to scorn its power Of
punishment because the offence was COM
mitted outside of it, the power of every
nation to defend itself against treachery
would be, sci iously impaired. The neees-
sity Of 1t is also quite apparent with re-
spect to many other offences. As, Tor ex-
ample, where state sends its agents
abroad to negotiate its bonds, or for any
other similar purpose, should it not have
s'S Po"OA " pTOlcCt llSeu against an
abuse of authority by enlightenment or
otherwise2 Such considerations show the
necessity OF the power, and it is recog-
nized and practiced upon by all nations.
And If the power exist at all, the case of
illegal voting abroad is clearly within it.
For 1t is purely question between the
State and its own citizens, and the act is
one which would probably constitute no
offence whatever against the laws of the
State where committed.
But not witbstanding the existence of
this right is recognized by the general
principles OF law applicable to nations,
there may be some room for doubt as TO
how IL would be affected by the
provision in our ?, constitution that
the accused shall be entitled. " in
prosecutions by indictr ent or infor nation
70 speedy public tris :. by. an impartial
Jury OF the county or district whe,el the
offence shall have been committed. vhiab
county or district shall have been nre-
vlousiy ascertained by law" This bro
vision clearly refers only to such crimes ss
acs committed within tre State, Can II
be held to imply prohibition against the
punishment of any other offencesa am

A Washington correspondent has the
following:
Gen. Hunters letter to JEFF. Davis causes
some remark. The style is hardly militia
~, bat the leading idea in it is not bad
one. The Government has decided as 10
its course, if JEFF Davis persists in his threat
to hang negro soldiers. We have at the
West four or Eve thousand rebel prisoners.
and Mr.. Lincoln intends to haze them retained
Until the question Of hanging negro soldiers
it settled. This, know, and if our. officers
who command colored troops, too, are not
to be exchanged. then there will be no ex.
changes hereafter at all, aud a general exc
cutiou OF prisoners on both sides will be
likely to follow. For wherever the rebels
hang a negro soldier, this Government " i'll
instantly swing up white rebel. Other.
wise, Mr.. Lncoln would be the veriest pol.
troon in existence. After having invited
and even compelled black men to fight, he
is bound in honor to guarantee to them the
ns1al treatment bestowed upon white SOL
diers- There is a prospect OF trouble ahead
upon this point, but the rebels will be COM
PEELED to give way. The entire world is
against them in such matter, aud they
will find it hard 10 sustain themselves

An army correspondent writing of the
assault on Vicksburg on the 22d says.
The pioneer corps of Logan's Division,
Seventeenth Army Corps, stood fire admi-
rably on the 22d. They worked all day in
front of one of our batteries which was
continually engaged, and exposed to the
IRE of rebel artillery and sharpshooters.
Out of about forty, one was killed, and
three wounded. One darkey was struck
on the head, but his Uranium was SO hard
that the bullet glanced, producing only a
slight wound. He tied his bandana around
his frontal turret, and kept on working as
merrily as ever. There was no evidence Of
fright on panic exhibited by any of them
during the day."

rors OF the anaeonda plan, as permanent
mode of operation, are made more patent
daily. We had news, yesterday, thai ma
val expedition had asceded the Red river as
far as Shreveport, $50 miIes from its
mouth, and had there found on the stocks
aud destroyed two immense iron-clad yes
sells, Of sufficient power to have demolished
our Mississippi feet. A few days ago AID.

erfuI steamers had been destroyed, and also
monster ram. $40 feet long, 10 feet beam,
TO be covered with finch irou-plate.-
AT both Shreveport and Yazoo City were
found extensive usVy-ysrds, which we're
demolished. These are but fraction of
the rebel iron-ciads that have been des
troyed on the Western rivers dnring the
year, or since Parragut and Porter began
active operations in searching for them
All the Western streams have been pretty
thoroughly secured now, however, aud We
imagine that these late exploits must have
about finished up all the'rebel iron cIads in
that section, unless they happen to have
some up the Arkansas River, which as yet
has not been penetrated for any distance.
1t we had remained in quiet till the
rebels had completed all these powerful

Fernando WOOd,s Visit to tho Pres
The TFi6uHe's Washington cOrrespon-
dent says:
Fernando Wood had long interview
with the President and Secretary of War
to-day. 1t is understood that he says he
reiterated the opinions expressed in his
last speech at New York, and urged that
the Government ought to do the things
that make for peace by instantly proposing
a cessation of hOstilities.
When asked what assurances he had
from the South that propositions looking
to peace would be received at Richmond
fsvOrably, he is said to have fallen back
upon the general statements that the
masses are tired of the war South as well
as North, and would welcome the olive
branch if their leaders would let them,
