The Consumption Law.

The N. Y. Metropolitan Record, referring
to the new Conscrption Law, says:
The crownng act of despotism the most
atrocious peice Of legislation which the late
Congress has perpretrated, is the Conscripu
ion Law, which is hardly less intolerabIe
than that which has driven Poland into wide
spread insurrection. In this measure the
radical and fanalical policy of Congress has
reached its climax. The body, in its last
days, attained the bad eminence' to which
it wa 50 long aspiring; and its last act is the
most deadly blow that has vet been aimed
at the Liberties Of the people; it is the most
evenomed shaft that has yet been hurled at
the heart of the Republic, and if the people
are untrue to themselves in this dire emergen'
cy, the freedom of the nation will be buried
in the same grave in which Congress has in
tered all that remained Of the Union
One of the most remarkable features Of
this last effort to convert the Republic into
a military despolsm, is the entire abnega-
ton of State sovereignty in the process bv
which the conscrjption is to be carried into
operation. State limits and State sovereign
ty are ridden over rough shod, and our
Governors, TIE freely chosen magistrate of a
free people, are to be treated as mere cyphers
by the General Governemnt.
"In word, all the citizens Of New York
liable 20 military duty, can be called upon
by the President, when ever he shall deem
it necessary, and on the refusal of any one OF
these to obey the call, he shall be deemed a
deserter, be arrested by the Provost Marshal
and sent to the nearest military post for
court martial. If this is not the establish
ment of military despotism, then we should
like to know the true meaning Of the words.
We have no hesitation whatever, in saying
that this law is unconstitutional, and of
course, not binding upon any citizen of the
United States, and since the miscalled Ma
tional Legislation has so far exceeded its
powers, the people must, under the circum
stances, look for protection to the only
auth critics that can grant it, the Governors
of their respective States. We owe
allegiance as citizens to the State of
New York, to the Constitution of that
State, and in the exercise of his lawful auth
GRITTY, we are solemnly bound by that oblh
cation to sustain and support its chief mag
istrate, whom that constitution declares is
Commander,in Chief of the military and ma
val forces of the State. lfalegiance belongs
to that regularly constituted power which,
in the general community affords protection
to life and property, then we say our loyalty
lie pre-eminently due to the State govern
ment. As to the Constitution of the United
States, that instrument no longer affords prol
tectons to its citizens, and the ouIy barrier
which now interposes between the liberties
of the people and the consolidated power of
a centralized despotism at Washington, is
the sovereignty Of the State"

FoRruNArE SpEcULAToR.-NorW Wester,
the New York correspondent Of the Boston
Post, relates the following incident Of one of
the fortunate speculations Of the day: In the
summer of 1861, young man who happen
ed to have $4,000 burning in his pocket,
but whose fears counselled him to keep out
of the usual channels of trade, called on
one of our heavy shipping merchants, who is
also President of city bank, and asked his
advice as to how to use his money. The
merchant suggested his investing it in pur-
chase of tar, the article at that time selling
at only one dollara barrel, with every pros
pect of soon being on the advance. The
young man took his advice, bought ten thou
sand barrels of tar, and stored it for a rise.
After keeping it until last fall he concluded
to realize on his Investment, and sold it all
out at $40 a barrel, or forty times its origi
nal cost, receiving his original capitol of
$4,000 and the slight accumulation OF
$500 900 as the dividend thereon,

EAR AcHE.-They are using mixture of
equal parts of chloroform and audanum, ap
piled upon lint in France, for the cure of
ear ache. 1t is said to be very efiicacous;
first producing sensation Of cold, then
numbness, decrease of pain and, in short
time, sleep. Mothers, don't forget this.

ANOTHER MYSTERIOUS DISCREPANCY AS TO
THE NUMBER OF Our SOLDIERS General
Pope SAYS in bis ellicia report of his CAM
paign in Virginia, just published:
"The consolidated report of General
Banks corps, received some days previous,
Ito the battle Of Cedar Mountain) exhibited
an effective force Of something over l4,006
men. Appended to this report will be found
the return in question. 1t appeared subse-
quently, however, that General Banks forces
at that time did not exceed eight thousand
men. But although several times called
General Banks attention to the discrepancy
between this return and the force he after
ward stated to me he had led to the front,
that discrepancy has never been explained,
and | do not understand how General
Banks could have been so greatly mista-
ken AS to the forces under his immediate
command.

cultivating Of cotton. We believe that the
quantity allowed lone acre per hand) is about
what is right under the circumstances, and that
It rs heartily approved by a large majority OF
the people Of this section, however II may mil,
itate against the wishes Of few, who desired
to plant largely Of cotton. We only regret tha,
ths law is not general among the cotton States.
The Georgia Legislature has no, come up TO
Gov. Browns recommendations upon this point
They refused 10 pass bill limiting the quantity
OF cotton ground to one acre per hand after.
wards they agreed to RECONSIDER and final &C.
tion has not yet been reported.
IL the regulation OF one acre to the feld
