No people can lie free unless there is a
constitution interposed between their rights
and the power of their rulers
There is no constitution between the
rights of the people and the power of their
rulers, for the constitution is suspended by
proclamation.
Therefore the American people are no
longer free.
Let some of the numerous shoddy patri-

to the people, who pay the greenbacks
what, if any thing, is vicious in this syllo

BRACES ARMY.
The Composition OF his FOrS
cea.

A gentleman who visited Braee's army
three weeks ago, and who had an oppors
tunity, while there, to become ACQUAINTED
with sew eral Of his brigade and division
officers, gives the following details con-
| corning the Generals he had with him,
the composition of his forces, and their
| respective strength.
Bragg's army was originally composed
of two corps, under command of Generals
| Polk and Hardee. After the fall of Vicks-
| burg and the removal of It's garrison to,
Demopolis. Ala an order from Richmond
| took Geh. Hardee from his command and
sent him to DsmopOlis; for the purpose of
reorganizing the army parnled by General
Grant, then 10 state of complete demon
aliZation. PembertoD was sent to Charles
ton, to cooperate with Gen. Beauregard
in the defence of that place.
This, OF course. produced in Brsgg's Ep-
my vacancy which was som filed Up by
the arrival of A. p. Hill, ono Of Lee'S
! Lieutenants, appointed by JEFF Davis TO
! fill up the place left by Hsrdee. The ap-
| pointment Of A. P. Hill to Bragg's army
dld not, however, inv'lve the removal Of
of his we'll drilled cUrps, which is said to
be still in Virginia under command Of
Gen. Lee.
The army Of Bragg was then under COM
mand ftwo division officer, Gems Polk
and A. P. Hill. having under them the
following officers:
Gen. PgIk has in his division: Brig.
Gen. Patrick Blaybure, Gen. Aleck H..
| Stewart, Preston Smith, BurhrOd john
ston, Deas, and others.
Under Gen. A. P. Hill are: Gems. Breek-
inridge, Lidell, Vance, Candy, Almen, aud
others.
The force of these two corps is estimated
at 20 600 men each. To this must be add
| ed the cavalry furce brought by Forrest
| and his tao Liputenants, Wharton aud,
Wheeler, amounting to $4,000 men.
Then the force under Buckner, estima-

s@The n Y. World says the essential
difference between the Republican and the
Democrat can hardly be more happily ex-
pressed than it is in their respective ideas
Of opposition to law. When Democrat
dislikes law he obeys it, and agitates for
its repeal When a Republican dislikes a
law he denouuces obedience to it as a moral
iuiquity, and seeks to nuili!y, or abolish It
by force.

A Washington special to the Times
says:
1t appears now that all three Rosecrans'
grand divisions were engaged ia the battle
in front of Chattanooga, two of which were
driven back in conriderable disorder.
Gen. Rosecrsns, 10 his dispatches, i'm
putes the loss of the battls to disobedience
Of orders on the part Of Gen. McCook, who
failed to occupy an important position as
signed him by Rosecrans. Had he done
as ordered EOsecrans' opinion is that
the battle would have resulted in a spien-
did Union victory. By extending bis forces
too much the enemy were enabled to pene-
trate Rohecrans' line.

The shoddy patriots are opening the can
yVass for the next year. The "Leagures"
are plotting by night and the Office holders
aad their hangers-on by day, for the con-
tinuation of the bloody reigns6f Abolition
lem.
A meeting was held at Monee the other
day, at which someof our Abolition friends
spread themselves hugely. A good Union
speech was made by DR.. Macarthur, of this
city, but the true character of the meeting
was exhibited in the jacobin speeches of
Snapp and Breckenridge.
We understand that these latter gentle.
men were particularly severe on everybody
who is not in favor of prosecuting this
bloody and Obstructive wer till the last
negro is free, and denounced all who do
not favor the Abolition policy as TRAITORS
and copperheaes"-that they recommended
their hearers to shoot their political oppo-
nents. Now if Messrs. Snspp and Breck,
inridge are anxious to get up fuss at
home, we fear they viii be accommodated
and when this shooting business does
commence, they will be the fret to heel it

D'1srmli, speaking OF the refined and charm
ing women, says:
"lt is an acquaintance which, when habit
ual exercises great influence over the tone of
the mind even if it does not produce any more
violent effects. 1t reines the taste, quickens
the perception and gives, as it were, a grace
and tlcxibility to the intellect" Somewhere
else the same writer remarks that men are as
much stimulated to mutual effort by the SYM
pathy of gentlcr sex, as by the desire of power
or fame. Women are more disposed to apprc-
ciatc worth and intellectual superiority than
men, or at least they are as often captivated
by the noble manifestations of genius, as by
the fascination of manners and the charms Of
person" And Sidney Smith says: Among
men of sense and liberal poIitencss, woman
who has successfully cultivated her mind. with
out diminishing the genteness and propriety
OF her manners, is always sure to meet with a
respect and admiration bordering upon enthu-
siasm."
