The Military aud the Civil Authorities.

The Military aud the Civil Authorities.
Evidences of disposition on the part of the mill
tary authorities of the Confederacy and of the States
to override the civil law and render null and void
the authorities of civil tribunals, have not been
wanting at any time during the period OF this war.
But the disposition to disregard the supremacy OF
civil authority has been at no time perhaps, more
strkingly illustrated than during the past months.
We give the following instance as copied from the
Montgomery Adpertiser of the 30th:
A party of mounted men are going through West
Alabama summary arresting and forcing into the
army all men who have put in substitutes, provided
they cannot prove by the certificate of the Captain
who received the substitute that lie has not desert
ed and is now actually in the service or has been
killed in battle. If this proof is not satisfactorily
made in ten days, the principal is mustered in given
transportation and started of to Enterprise, M,sss-
sippi-on the tenth day. No hearing is allowed to
parties before the Courts and no choice is given
them as to what command they will join. These
men say they are acting under orders from General
Pillow, but have as yet, we are informed produced
no authority for their unlawful proceedings except
an order from the Secretary Of War, issued some
time since, to the effect that after date no substl-
tute would be received unless the principal became
bound 10 take his place if lost the service by 9TH
er event than the casualties of war.
Commenting ON the above the Columbus Sun,
. says:
Now however much we may deprecate the short
sighted policy and favori.ism, which brought into
existence our present system of substitute laws, it
is the duty of the military and all concerned to obey
these laws until our Congress shall see proper to
repeal them. Whatever is hw with us should he
obsyed if the laws are bad, they should be repeal
ed, no: nullfed by military force If the military
can Claim the right to override one law of Congress,
why may it not claim the same right with refer
encc to another, and on until our whole statute
book becomes nullity? Our frame work Of gov
ernment is an extremely delicate one and our only
safe guide amid such perils as now surround Us is
the Constitution and laws of the land. To these
does the military authority owe its existence, and
them it should be held in strict subordination-
If this be not done, we confess much apprehension
for the safety and welfare of the country in the flu
ture, and should be prepared TO- see people, who
in their eagerness to 30 independent Of Yankee rule,
becoming willing slaves under tyrants of their own

TIE POWDER USED IN TIE BIC GUN AT CHARLES.
ToN.-It may be interesting to our readers to know
something of the powder used in firing the big guns
at Charleston. TIE grains vary in size from the
bigness of damson seed to that of peach stone,
and lock like irregular fragments of unburnshed
ebony. There is nothing about their appearance to
indicate the quality Of the substance. We are in
formed by the scientific that this powder is made on
the principle Of what is known among the boys as
"spit devil" that is, it is mixed as not to ex.
pode at once like the line grain powder, the inertia
of the bolt being great that an instantaneous ex
plosion Of the whole charge would burst the gun ;
but the ignition Of the charge being gradual at first
the ball is started Without any great strain on the
rifles OF the piece, and-itis contended by the friends
of great guns-is always successfully launched on
its mission of destruction.

SORGHUM SUGAR.

Mr. Jacob Hiley, Of Georgia, writes to the Macon
Tsssgraph apd states that b has made during the
past month"; good brown sugar from the sorghum
syrup, like the common muscovado in quality and
appearance That he has the sugar now on hand,
and there is no difficulty abou. it. The sorghum
must be thoroughly fpened before grinding and any
slkali will do lye, lime or soda, he has tried all,
and perceives little difference between them. We
give his concluding remarks from the Telegraph:
. The cane being fully ripe, it is ground and the
juice is boiled in the usual way. After it is put on
to boil some akaE should be added, either ye, soda,
or lime water, yet know 90 special quantity to he
added. 1t makes very well to add halt pint OF
lime water occasionally for three or four times Tor
kettle of 60 80 gallons until the ceases to
rise on top which should be removed with strain
CT as fast as it rises. All the akali, Of whatever
Kind, can be added at once if you choose to do So
The fire should never be too hot for the first half
hour, to enable you to skim it WELL After that it
can Be boiled if you choose until it is ready to take
of, which should not be too soon, as thick syrup
is much to be preferred provided you wish to make
syrup of it. When it has reached the stage of thick
syrup very lite more boiling will convert 1t into
sugar. which will granulate as soon as it cools BY
boiling little once or twice and experimenting for
sugar, you will always know at what stage to re-
move it from the kettle better than can tell you,
though l didn't make single failure. After re-
moving it from the kettle, place it in some vessel
q short while until some of its heat has lett and
then pour it into your barrels with the hoops lit
tie loose in order that the molasses may drip from
it. Of which there will not be as much as many
might suppose. Do not stir it after removing II
fro:a the kettle, as is the common custom, or the
grains will be small and fine.

GEN pOLK's ARREST.

. 1t is no sedet--for the telegraph has already told
i-that General Bragg, Immediately after the battle
of Chckamauga, in consequence of some disagree
ment, caused General Polk and other of his officers
to be relieved of their commands and placed under
arrest The act has called forth considerable ami.
mady 0sionA The correspondent Of the, Atlanta
(Georga) Conysderaey, in some speculation as to
the cause of this step, says:
=: member of General Braggs staff while at these
headquarters short time SINCE stated that General
Polk is responsible for the present position Of Rose
cranz's army; that if the orders given to Gener-
al Polk had been obeyed at the proper time Rose
cranzs army would have been cut to pieces and cap
tured; that General Polk was ordered peremptosily
by General Bragg to renow the fight at dawn Of
day Sunday morning, the Goth, and that at 10
o'clock Sunday morning the attack had not been
made; that he this staff oiceE) was sen. by Cen
eral Bragg to General Polk to know. why the attack
had not been made. He found General Polk on
this side south side) of Chckamauga reading q
newspaper. His answer was he could not tell why
the attack had not been made that he had issded
the necessary orders the night; that he was very
anxious the attack should be made and that be
would go directly himself aud see about it
This same staff officer informed US that, before
the fight of Chickamauga, at McLemore's cove,
General Hndman, with 1900 effective muskets,
was ordered to attack body of the enemy. which,
if he had done as ordered, he would have captured
Thomas corps, numbering 49, COG men. Hindman,
by moving two miles, would have cut off Thomas
only avenue of escape, for he was otherwise sur
rounded. General Bragg has, we understand, put
him under arrest
From the above source get also the information
that Generals Bragg and Breckenridge have buried
the hatchet-that, after the fight was over, and
General Bragg was riding along the line of Brock
inridges encampment, at given signal three hearty
cheers, along the whole line, for General Bragg,
the Her0of Chickamauga," were given, and Gener-
al Beckmridge himself gave three cheers; after
which be and Bragg took friendly shake Of the
hand, ana tiny blue curls, aye, fragrant curls,
went I'D from the pipe Of peace.
