IMPORTANT DEcIsIoN.-Judge Halyburton, of
the Confederate Court at Richmond, has delivered
his opinion in the case of John H. Briscoe and
the thirty odd Marylanders who appeared before
him, under the writ of Aa6eas corpus, claiming
their discharge from military service the ground
Judge was of the opinion that these men, being
Marylanders, and therefore not embraced within
the Conscription Act, could not be held the term
of voluntary enlistment having expired. They
were therefore discharged Enquirer
The Confederate Congress should pass law to
MAKE Marylanders help defend tho country while
they i've in it.

"rHE PRIVATE I'm THE RANKS" J"

BY MAC
No tinsel on his collar shines
Nor epaulette, nor star;
But calm and firm in serried lines
Amid the crash of war,
The Private stands and gives his life
Foremost of all in battle strife;
While in his soul the holy light
" LIBERTY burns pure and bright
Bold Private in the ranks!
IT'S not to win the stripe or star
He rushes to the fight;
But strong of arm, and free Of fear
He battles for the RIGHT!
He heeds no voice but dutys call,
He breasts the bullets-stand or fall
Our Private in the ranks!
All, all have gone! Our country's means
Have wrung their hearts SO warm;
And mother, wife, and little ones,
Noill shall know, nor harm,
The sire with scarce year to live
The son with all his life to i've
Are Privates ia the ranks
And when the whispering wordwiug'd wiro
Proclaims the battle done;
Shout toddling brat, and boastful sire,
"Huzzah! our Braves have WON'T
We search the dead rolls, then with care,
Perchance some kinsman's name is there
'Mong Privates in the ranks
Yet need of praise we will bestow
On all who bear the scars;
And care but little what they wore,
Coarse gray, or stars, or bars;
But most our love belongs to those
Who bravely met their Nations foes,
AS Privates in the racks!

THE POLISH ExILEs-The Richmond papers
have already informed US of the arrival at the Con-
federate capital Of delegation of Polish exlcs,
who came to offer the services of their country
men to our authorities They had an interview
with President Davis, and the result is said to
have been highly satisfactory to both parties, and
to hold out fair prospect of the forthcoming ac-
cession to our armies of body of gallant and
high-hearted allies of that warlike race. Ever
true to the traditions of the past, the sons of Po
land have ever shed their blood in the defence Of
nations struggling for independence as the battle
fields of Europe and America will testify.

SO that the kettles may be thoroughly ceansed for

mitted to the kettles, and again to strain the sy-
rup when poured into the coolers, must not be

DYING LIKE A GENTLEMAN.-A gentleman
who had been around the world in the old navy
mentioned to US lately queer custom prevalent,
or said to be prevalent among the high mandarins
in China They occasionally commit suicide. 1t
is part of the etiquette of the country. For in
stance if Mean Fun is charged with the defence of
the city of Long-Tung, and fails in said defence,
he is bound, as gentleman, not only to kill him
SELF, but to kill bis grand mother and his wife's
grand mother, and his wife, and his children, and
his brotherin-aw and his brothers, and his father,
and his MOTHER and his wife's father and mother,
and his uncles, and his aunts, and his nepbews,
and his neices and his cousins and hest of other
people, to save them being killed by the common
executioner.
But the queer thing is the way the high Man
DARN takes to go off himself He swallows gold
leaf and, the report says, he soons gets as dead
as any Chinese gentleman could desire. We don't
know how i. works, and don't think it will be-
come popular in the Confederacy. Dying in such
a gorgeous style is altogether beyond our means at
the existing premium We cannot recommend it
on the score of economy Hilmingto" Journal

A VALUABLE LABOR-sAvING MAcHINE.-Du-
ring his life time, Mr.. John Lewis, of this county,
invented number of valuable improvements in an
old cotton picking and spinning Machine. His
wife, who is his Executrix, applied for a patent
from the Patent Office at Richmond, which he has
obtained. Her son, most enterprising young
man, has one now in this place. We would ad-
wise ali who have large slave families and others
who are able and have not many hands, to procure
one of these machines. 1t is great labor-saver.
One person can pick, card and spin with it as much
cotton as twelve hands can do on wheel in the
same time. Mr.. Lewis deserves encouragement in
his enterprise, and We hope be will receive it.

This must be a different machine from that
which Elijah P. Mitchell buih and sold at this
place about thirty years ago. That machine fed it.
