"The dressing you gave the Richmond Enquirer

tanned the freedom Of the press, and insisted that
the civil law should always prevail the militia

FEDERAL ATRoc1r1Es-The federals, under Gen.
Wild, recently made raid with white and negro
troops through the Counties of Camden and Pas
quotank in this State. They burnt and destroyed
much property, and carried away number of me-
groes. 1t seems that this man Wild caused Con-
federate soldier to be hanged on the ground that he
was guerrilla; and one of his negro soldiers hav.
ing been captured by forces, he took two ladies
and held them as hostages for the safety of the ne
gro These ladies, it is stated were imprisoned in
Norfolk Jail, badly treated and guarded by negroes
A General who woald thus war upon women is a
demon in human form. Is there no retaliation by
which such monsters can be compelled to act with
some regard for the asages of civilized warfare,

ABuiE OF TIE HABEAs CoRPCs--The admirable
spirit striking facts and clear and forcible STYLE of
the communication which we publish in another
column on abuses of 1.-THE great writ Of right" will
strike all who may read it Tho author has had
peculiar opportunities ofnforming himself both up
on army matters and legal proceedings and the re
suit is that be makes suggestions which may, il
properly observed defeat ali cases of fraud while it
will leave the rights Of honest applicants unirnpar
ed. We ask public attention to the article.-Fay
etteo,lle Obserrer
We copy the article alluded to above. There is
no doubt that the Habeas Corpus writ has been
used, recently for base purposes and lawyers. who
ought to have been in the army fighting for their
country, have been too ready for large fee t. get
men released from military service Charlotte
Democrat.
This is grave charge against members Of tue
bar If it be true that any Of them have been too
ready for large fee to get men released from mil
itary SERVICE they have acted very improperly But
We do not believe it. For every man improperly
released by the aid of lawyers, ten have been un.
Justly and illegally forced into service The writ Of
habeas corpus is the great bulwark of personal lib
erty. A government which fears the operation of
this writ or interroses its power in any way to pre-
vent its operation, is despotic in its purposes if not
in its character, and does not deserve the respect
or the confidence Of freemen. That the writ has
been abused we do not doubt-every good thing is
liable to be abused but this does not justify covert
attacks on the writ ITSELF The Fayetteville Obser.
Ger was at one time fearless and outspoken cham.
pon Of this writ, and every other means by which
tyranny could be checked and the Constitutional
rights of the citizen maintained but since it has
joined the Destructives it seldom if ever raises its
voice in favor Of personal liberty or against the
strides OF military power.
