CoSGEEss-We publish to day the bill reported
by the military committee to the House of Repre-
sentatives, to put every able bodied man between
eighteen and forty-fve, with few exceptions, in
the army; and also delegatng to the President the
power to exempt and detail such persons as he may
think proper This last feature, if adopted, will
place every farm, every workshop and every mill
in the Confederate States under the control of the
President!-a stretch Of power unknown even in
Constitutional monarchies.
1t will also be seen that Mr.. Phean, of Mississip
pi has reported bill to suspend the habeas corpus
in relation to the principals of substitutes and that
this bill is being discussed in secret session.
These two measures, if adopted, will establish an
absolute despo;ism over these States. Our Courts,
for example will not be allowed to hear and deter
mine any case of principal of a substitute, or, if
they should hear and determine their decisions will
be set at naught by Confederate bayonets Are our
people prepared for these things? If not let them
demonstrate with the COnsress-let them Implore it
not to pass such acts it be too late for Teinon
STRANGE or implorations. God save the COnied-
eracy!
KEEPING FAITH.-A gentleman who has substi-
tute in the army engaged to sell some pork in this
market at $40 per- hundred in specie, and after
wards offered s12 so for 1t, but he kept his word
and let it go $40. He thus rejected offer which
would have put $40 per hundred more in his pock
-et in Confederate money, and kept his word; but
the Congress, representing the moral character of
the country, breaks its word with him and forces
him into the army. Behold the contrast
Yesterday there repetitions Of the rumor
that Butler was concentrating some twenty or thir-
ty thousand meL at Washington, North Carolina,
OR in that vicinity, for land attack upon Whining

sea- twas said that raiders had approached within
twenty miles of Wilmington.
Some days ago exaggerated reports reached the
war Department of the enemys feet in the neigh
1orhood of Wilmington, which were not credited

IMPORTANT DECIsIoN.-We alluded some weeks
since to the application Of William I. Brookng for
a discharge from the service on a writ Of hd6eas
corpus
The petitioner volunteered in 1851 and served
regular in the army, wounded at the battle
of Gettysburg in July, 1868. While in the service
he was elected as Justice Of the Peace in the
ty of Orange, and regularly qualified as such. On
this qualification he applied for discharge FROM the
service, This was refused him. He then applied
for writ of hdbeas corpus before Judge Meredith
of this city. II agreed by the counsel Of Brook
ing (1ohn II. G'lner Esq, and the counsel for the
Confederate States government, (Messrs. T Neeson
and I. P. -August) that the merits q the case
should be considered and decided on argument
for the application. The argument on the applica-
ton was then heard fully on sl the legal points,
and the. learned Judge awarded the writ, and yes
terday, iu Court discharged Brooking from the
service.
We understand the argument on the application
was very full and earnest on both sides. The case
turned on the ddIcia cOnstructiop0f the conscript
act of 1862, March l6 as to exem tiohs and the act
of the Virginia Legislature passed in October, 1852,
which expressly exempted Justices of the Peace
from military service.-Rich. Dspdteh
