having haself become Liable. could not serve as a
substitute for anethe The case was brought before
Judge Pearson on writ Of habeas corpus, when irwin

In consequence of this state ofthings an order has
been issued from the Aduant Generals Office, by or

been to the Confederate Government in his etrls 10
enforce the conscriPt law, and in bringing Up shsen
tees and deserers from the army, and rejaise 10
see that be is equally careful 10 preserve the right,
and privileges Of our citizens. He's proving hiassi
