CoNFLIcr-GEN. MARTIN IN BUSINESS -The
last Salisbury Wutchzaan contains advertisement
signed by James W. Wilson, Engineer and Super
intendant Of the Western N. Railroad in which
he states that special order No. 16, from Brig Gen.
Martin, forbiddidg the shipmen: of farm products
from the Western part Of this State "is unwar-
ranted by any powsr given him by Congress. -
that freight on this Road will be shipped as here
tofore"-and that "agents will obey orders issued
by no one except the President or Superintendent"
We are not informed Of the reasons which have
Influenced Gen. Martin in this matter, but what
ever they may he, he is bound to respect the civil
law. We take it for granted that every bushel of
grain in the Western counties is needed to support
the people in that section and if any of this grain
is being sent to Salisbury to be distilled into whs
key, We cannot blame the General for stopping it by
the strong hand We learn that three hundred
bushels of grain are consumed per day, by the gov
ernment dstillery at that place. in making whiskey'
If this is so, we hope the Legislature will take steps
at once to abate this distllcry rs nuisance and
curse to the people.

Fit is necessary in order to clear the Of the
such Offices Justices Of the Peace, &c.-Confed-

The Editor of the Confederate is lawyer and
ought to know that the Legislature has no power
to abolish the Office Justice of the Peace. These
officers constitutional officers, and hold their
places during good behavior.
But the Conteerate,ts crafty its Destructive pro-
penstes and to PROSTATE the State at the feet Of
Confederate power, would evidently be gratiaed to
see the Supreme Court itself abolished. Courts,
and civil law, and lawyers are in the way. They
embarass the progress ofthe "powers that be- to

There can, Sir, be no objection to the appointment
ofan editor to Office, if he is the ttest man. There
can be no objection to considering the services
which, in that or in any other capacity, he may
have rendered his country. He may have done
much to maintain her rights against foreign aggres
sion, and her character against insult. he may
have honored, as we'll as defended her; and may,
therefore, be Justly regarded and selected in tho
choice of faithful public agents. But the ground
Of complaint is, that the aiding, by the press Of the
election of an individual is rewarded BY that same
individual, with the gift of moneysd offices. Men
are turned cut Of Office and others pat in, ana re-
celye salaries from the public treasury, on the
ground either openly avowed or falsely denied that
they have rendered service in the election OF the
this, appointment Every man, Sir, must see that
this is Vital stab at the purity Of the press. 1t

sinister motives to it, but it furnishes from the
public treasury the means Of exciting these motives
1t extends the executive power over the press in
most daring manner. 1t operates to give direc
ton to opinion, not favorable to the government in
the aggregate not favorable to the Constitution and
laws not favorable to the legislature; but favorable
to the executive alone The consequence often is,
just what might be looked for, that the portion OF
the press thus made fast to the executive interest
denounces Congress- denounces the judiciary, CON-
plains Of the laws and quarrels with the Constitu
ton This exercise of the right Of appointment to
this end is an augmentation and vast one, of the
executive power, singly and alone. 1t uses that
power strongly against all other branches OF the
government and it uses it strongly, too, for any
struggle which it may be called on to make wit!

will quit this topic. There is much in it, in my

Conservation of the Great Cathe-

The cathedral ceremonies at Philadelphia
attending the blessing and conservation OF
Saint Paul's and Saint Peters Cathedral
were celebrated on Sunday with the most
imposing effect. The cathedral is the work
of eighteen years labor, and cost nearly a
million OF dollars. 1t is the largest church
edifice in the United States. More than
two hundred priests participated, and the
ceremonies were witnessed by about eight
thousand persons. Among the priests par
ticipating were Archbishops Purcell of Gin
cinnati, and McCloskey OF New York, to-
gether with the Bishops of Boston, Buffalo,
Brooklyn, Burlington, Vermont, Newark,
Canada, Fort Wayne, Indiana, Hartford,
Pittsburgh, Toronto. Halifax. and the Mi
tered Abbott of Saint Vincent's at Latrobe.
The bishops proceeded from the Episcopal
residence in full vestments, with inter and
surplice, through Logan square, followed
by the priests. and proceeded to the cathe-
dral, the choir chanting TIE Deum: The
usual ceremonies were then proceeded with,
Bishop Wood, accompanied by the priests,
sprinkling the foundation and walls with

AMONG the names proposed for the new
British American federation is Transatlantic.
There is so much downright snobbery in
this suggestion = so much Difference to
'.hold Hinglandr-that we suppose 1t will
chime in exactly with the Canadian feeling,
and in consequence be adopted.
Transatlantic means, we suppose, trans
Atlantic; that is, across or on the other side
of the Atlantic, in other words, they want
the name which Would be most appropriate
for them in England, and not that which
would be proper in the country so named.
A Canadian at Montreal, for instance, when
asked his residence, would say he lived
across or on the other side of the ocean.
No Yankee would ever be thus guilty OF
trucking to another country. If he had
the naming of federation on this side OF
the ocean, he would call it Cisatlanta, and
make England on the other side of the At
lantic. Canadians seem to think England
the centre of the world. would name their
own county as it appears to the cockneys OF
London.
One thing, however, cannot be altered,
aud that is, that whether called Transat-
lantic, New Yorkshire, or New Britain, or
what not, it will for some time be consider
ed very desirable retreat for Federal pat
riots desiring to get out of the draft.
