rAo.y ca.cala. to ,njt end His outrage
upon the freedom offhe press, nnwarranted

unnecessary as was advised by MAJ.
Gen. DIX, 4 now followed by an order to

Sincethe warrant waslssued, the Presi-
dent of khe United States{has Issued another
order a Gen. DIX, which he came to see
me urd. Ia. night, late bit night, which di
re- " .na' while thu civil war lasts he
mus, f., relieve himself from his command
or be deprived of his liberty Tor obcying
any o4ier Of a military nature which the
President Of the United States directs him
10 EXECUTE. it places, therefore, Sen Dix
III th'j position, that he has got to either
viola,d the direct order Of the President of
the 3tcd States, as military commander
IL THU department, or violate the order of
the Prices of the courts in civil jurisdiction
In thiJstate.
Thus is outrage heaped upon outrage, by
the as sumption of the President to trample
under foot the judicial arm which is just as
free to!act and ofright aspowcrfu as before
the reti lion broke out ut the south. In
this emergency the courts and the State ex-
ecutivk would seem to have but one course
beforj them: to pursue the even tenor of
iriway and let tht responsibility Of COLI
sionI if any there bs, fall upfn whoever or
what lever attomptsto imp9he their action.
Whichever is don9should ID done calmly and
firmly. The position Wi h the rebel gov
srnb ent assumed toward tbs-government
of he loyal States in VII ef there is nothing
but tranquility. The r{b9 government de-
sir(d to be "let alonef" hnd to do as ii
pleased, in which case Il aigued there could
DO no disturbance of the beacc Mr.. Lin
