UElTRn STATES SrocKs.-The following ex-
tract from late commercial letter from Frank
fort Germany, appears in the evening paners
touching the large demand on the Continent for
United States stocks:
transactions in United States stocks are
large and increasing. On one day in March tue
Rolhschills bought all that was offered on the
Bonrse, and their purchases that day amounted
to over 100000. They have again been buy
ing. Another firm. p. N. Schmidt. sent over TO
Now York, and subscribed for $l00, 900 of the
5 20's just before the subscription closed Capt.
tasts are selling Austrian securities and invest.
ing in American.
Two other firms in Frankfort are bringing out
large amounts for sale to supply numerous orders
coming in from various towns in Germany
These banking houses are NJ. A. Gruuebaum 4
Ballin, and Speyer, Ellison & Co., who, perhaps,
do the largest business 10 this line. They have
arnuoh houses in New York II is probable that
she extensive orders for U. s. 5-20's will have
favorable influence in lowering the ratio OF ex-
change on Europe. The quotations now are 692
for 0-2Gs, and for those of 1861, 66A. The cal
culatiOn is made that over SO, 600 900 have been
purchased in Southern Germany alone, within
the last four or five weeks while in Holland a
still larger amoust has been taken by the bank
crs. Rate of interest is now to 81 per cent,
and money abundant.

We invite attention to the abb ADD interesting
letter in our paper to-day from Augusta, over the
signature Of GeOryiG @" l. - - I,I,,7,
We have watched shl With much spiSis:itads the drt
Of public opinion in that State, and it affords us
pleasure 10 say that the EupfresStAe Of the South
is even id advance Of North GsFoiis 10 the policy
Of Conservatism The programme of Georgia is .
simple one, and is we'll rejected the forthcoming
resolutions of Senator Hill: it is TO fight the Abe;
ition party, with Lincoln at its head to the DEATH
at the same time throwing tie weight Of our moral
influence into the scale of Conservative reaction in
the United States In short the defeat Of Lincoln
purpose of abolti0n conquest, and the success
the Conservative opposition to Lincoln in the next
Presidential campaign is according to ouE Georgia
friends the end Of the war upon terms honorable
to,the South. These views are boldly and ably ad..
yScated by the Augusta Chronic and Sentinel the
Columbus SUM- the Atlanta Register, and the Ma
con Tesserapk, s-all leading daily papsrs,-Ehile
old and Influential County papers like the Athens
iWdtchnas and Maris.ta Adpocats defend The same
policy. The only really defined opposition is rep
resented in the atlanta ligsneer, which con-
tends that the war can end only by the conquest Of
the North BY the South, the South by the North.
According to our observation the weight Of inf1u!
ence of scholarship end character in Georgia. Is on;
the side of fIthe Atlanta Register and other papers
named that agree with it, - ! g.y /. LIN. az.
No intelligent or thoughtful, or just person will
for moment suppose that Georgia and North Caro-!
lima would do any, thing, Or consent to any thing
that would look like an a6andontnens Of their Con
ederate allies or that would result in submission
to the Abolition party Their immense sacrifices
already made in the contest their thousands upon
thousands of brave troops now confronting the foe,
their deep stake in the institution of slavery, and
their own selSrespeck all forbid that they should
make or submit to diShonorsble propositions But
they are anxious, while the war is going on and is
prosecuted If possible with renewed vigor, that
somelsteps should be taken by the sovereign States
looking to peace in aid Of the common governreut
steps that may so arouse, and embody, and
streng ghen the Conservative sentiment of the United
States as to compel Mr.. Lincoln and the Abolition
party to enter upon negotiations With view to
permanent and FINAL settlement of our dificuties,
and thus stay the eAGsion Of blood They are ready
to fight and they will fight as heretofore but they
do not believe that the sword alone will bring peace
The intervention of the States in their sovereign
capacity, aid of the common agent the Confeder-
ate government, is believed to be a measure which
cannot fail to produce the best consequences; and
such Intervention can be proposed Only in ConVen-

Extraordinary Doctrine.

Judge French concludes his opinion in the recent
shibeas corpus case from Moore County as follows:
8 al regard these cases as the eKponents of the
principle involved in the question now presented,
and IS by them it is decided that acts
of the Legislatures of the States brought in ques
ton are not in violation of that clause of the Ma
tional Constitution which expressly prohibits the
States from passing laws impairing the obligation
Of contracts and as the Constitution of the Confed
crate Stases does not szpFessly prohibit Congress
from passing any such law, so conclude JortiOri
from the principles involved, that the act of Con-
gress in question is not in violation of that instru
ment. ,..-..-s .--..,Fft.r -. g. s"r
Judge French here assumes that as the Oonfede-
rate Constitution does not expressly prohibit Con-
gress from passing law impairing the obligation
ofconracts the law of Congress placing substitutes
in service is not in violation of that instrument:
Thati Congress may enact any law which the Con
Stituton does not expressly forbid it to enact Such
a construction of the Confederate Constitution is
opposed to every idea of republican government and
is of the most arbitrary character. If adopted as
the rule of construction, it would render the Con-
federate government government without limta-
ton of powers; for if Congress may enact any law
not expressly prohibited by the Cons titution it is
easy to be seen that that body, being the judge of
its own powers, might stretch them to any extent.
Every law must have for its foundation an express
or an implied grant-the latter, or implied grant,
being necessary to carry out the former. This is
the true State rights rule Of construction.
Nor does it follow, because the Constitution pro-
hibits the States from passing laws impairing the
obligation of contracts, that the Congress may
pass such laws. The States would hardly have re-
stricted themselves in the exercise of power to
perpetrate wrongs upon each other, and then have
conferred this very power on their common agent
to be used generally to their injury, Bills of at
tainder, ez post .tGctO laws, and laws impairing
the obligation of contracts, are eoatr sry." says
Mr.. Madison in the FsdsrdliSt, "to The first prin
eiples of the social compact, and to eO0ry priH-
tiph Of sound lfgislqtion:" It surely. never oc-
cured to the trainers of the Constitution in pro-
hibiting for wise purposes the exercise of these
powers by the States, that they were oonferring
the common government the power to do that which
CONTRARY to the 6rst principles of the social
compact and to every principle of sound legisla-
ton"
