In The Sapreme Court Of North Carolina,
June Term, 1865.
IN THE MATrER OF BRYAN.

Governor Vance having informed the
Judges that the Secretary of War puts his
nbjec,ion TO the release of citizens who
have been arrested as conscripts by the
officers of the Confederate States. after
they had been discharged by the State
tribunals on writs Of hdbeas corpus, upon
the ground that the courts Of the State had
no Jurisdiction over the subject, the Court
directed the question 10 be argned as pre-
liminary to ihe disposition OF the many
applications before i, hy writs of habeas
eorpus. and assigned day. As the organ
Of the Court, addressed communication
ta His ExcelIency the President of the
Confederate States, informing him Of the
fact, and that the Court would be pleased
to hear an argument BY the Attorney Gen.
eral of the Confederate States, or any other
gentleman Of the bar he might appoint for
the purpose. Tie question has been fully
argued bv Mr.. Moore and Mr.. Winston in
support of the jurisdiction, and by Mr..
Strong. District Attorney Of the Coniede-
rate States, with whom was associated MIR.
Bragg, against the jurisdiction.
We have dcyuted 10 the subject that
