A Mons TER NEwsPAPER.-A journal may
base It's claim for popularity on many diff
lerent grounds. 1t has been left with
the French press to overwhelm the world
With the gigantic size of their sheets.
The monster Grand Journal, large enough
to be read by four people at once-to be
folded around the humble stall in the
theatre until the occupier can fancy
himselfin private box-large enough to
roof a house, to paper the side of room
such is the Journal that the French
nation delights to honor. Everywhere
may be seen the nGttering Of IFS enor-
nous sheets, as the public crowd round
TO gloat over the astonishing length of its
columns. We do not, haweyer, hear that
they also read them.

A SATISFACTORY ExPLANATioN.-One oil
the Paris correspondents with General
LEES army, in his account Of one OF the
earlier battles of the pending campaign,
mistook the old Sd for the I'd corps Ct
GRANTS army. This is very satisfactorily
explained by the following from the New
York Herald, which, until now, had es-
capped our notice.
a few days ago large number OF the
Sd corps, now consolidated with the "a,
appeared on review with their old badge
on their caps, as usual, but with the 2d
corps badge attachedto the seat Of their
nanlaloons.

all parts Of the State, we have cheering
news of the crops and the hopefulness
Of our people. We give an extract from
letter from one Of the gentler sex,
which breathes the true spirit;
1--WE are all in a state Of anxious ex-
pectation for more goodnews from Vir-i
ginia and Georgia. In this section of the
State, people, as generalThing, are very
hopeful; most Of them expect to hear
the glad tidings of peace proclaimed
throughout the land this summer. A

0Ns OF THE WAsnINGToN FANiLY.-The
Point Lookout correspondent of the Bal
tiinore American, speaking Of four hun
dred more prisoners leaving that point
for exchange, thus notices one of the
Washington family
Among those who left in this load was
Augustus Washington, of Clark county,
Virginia, second cousin of John A.
Washington. of Harper's Ferry. Mr.
Washington is very anxious to reach his
home, he having been wounded at the
battle of Gettysburg, and in such man
ner as to unfit him for active service.
Mr.. Washington in leaving here left
some warm personal friends; and if he
differed in his political opinions from 9th
ers he at least deserves the credit of be-
ing gentleman in his manners. have
conversed with him in regard
to secession, and find that he has the self
same idea of States Rights that possesses
most of the soldiers in the Old Dominion,
and believes that the, same spirit that
caused the heroes of 'T6 to follow the for
tunes of Washington, possesses the fol-
overs of JEFF. Davis, and that their cause
s just and holy.

TIE GEORGIA BATTLE SITE.-About four
miles east Of Dallas, says the Charleston
Courier, all the roads leading 70 Marietta
or Atlanta would be covered by line OF
five miles in length, and there is appa-
rently no chance to flank the position I'M
less the country can be traversed outside
the road, which is said to be impraetica-
bic. Its possible fight may occur there.
Eighteen miles southeast of this spot, Is
the Chattahoochee river in its nearest aI,-
proach to Atlanta, say seven miles. Two
miles west Of the Chattahoochee is Ia
vorable ridge fronting a good battle
ground, and some say this VIII be the
Flacc.

Ought congreaa to Adjourn?

Now that all serious apprehensions for
the fallof Richmond has subsidized, gays
the Richmond Enquirer of the 29th ult.,
it is hoped that Congress will reconsider
its vote to adjourn on the 3lst, and
diligently attend to to those important
duties that devolve upon it. This is no
time for any public servant to neglect the
trusts confided to him. There are i'm
portant matters Of legislation that imper-
atively demand the attention of Congress.
If it should become necessary for the
Congress to fly the city, ample opportu-
nifty will be afforded for no one expects
the Confederate Congress TO initiate those
stupid old Roman Senators, who, sitting
in silence, permitted the barbarians to
pluck them by the beard. No, If the evil
hour should ever come, fly by all means,
for q worse barbarian than Goth, or Visit
goth, or Hun, now threatens Richmond
But the day is far off that shall see the.
Yankees conquereIs in Richmond. We
hope, therefore, that the resolution to adj
journ on the 3lst instant will be re-
ended.
The tax law requires legislation. It
has features that are necessary to its Elf
cheney, but which greatly injure the coun-
try, and are real impediments not only
10 trade and business, but also to the col
lection of the taxes. The double tax on
stocks call for relief, and the clause re-
ating to the tax,in kind requires expla-
ration and Interpretation. There are
bills for military organization that should
,e passed. The Reserve Foeces cannot
70 efficiently organized without further
egislation.
The action SO promptly taken by the
congress upon the matter of their own
alary and mileage, will be cheerfully ac-
uiesced in if the members exhibit de-
to work diligently, but if the
congress remains in Riehinond Just long
nough to double the pay Of its members,
nd then take to flight upon its double
Mileage, it will be difficult to reconcile
he public to such dereliction Of duty.

Considerable discussion has been elicit
ed in Congress on the question Of the
suspension of the writ Of habeds corpus,
The effort made to repeal the law of the
last session authorizing its suspension has
been unsuccessful. We publish to-day
the remarks of Senator Brown on this
subject and in reference to the resolutions
of instruction from the Legislature Of
Mississippi. Few public men shave pos
sessed in greater degree than Senator
Brown the confidence of their constitu.
ency. His useful services in the many
high and responsible trusts that he has
filed, give to his opinions consideration
and Importance, and the people no doubt
feel anxious to know his views on this
subject. He takes strong ground in favor
of the continued suspension of the writ
and intimates that the resolutions Of the
Legislature were adopted hastily and
without proper consideration. He says
that in view of g facts known to the SEN
ate and the House and not known in all
their intents to the people," this legisla-
ton was adopted. that the facts have I'm
dergone no material change and that
"he will stand by what has been
DONE" We cannot admit the force of
many of the arguments used by Senator
Brown and Others who justify its suspen-
sion.
To say that SO faras our soldiers are
concerned the writ has been suspended
since the war commenced, is incorrect.
The soldier was as much entitled to the
writ as the citizen, if he was unlawfully
deprived of his liberty. Men in the army, I
improperly held there, have been dis
charged on habess corpus. II is true, the
soldier tried for military offence and !
in custody, could not obtain l
his discharge by the writ-but if not sus
pended, and he could show probable :
cause for its issuance, be would have the =
same right to it as the citizen. /
We can see no analogy between this t
and the conscript law, the sub :
stitute act, and the various tax laws--one +
class of these laws was TO furnish men for d
the armY-the other, the means to sup c
port the Government. The suspension {
Of the writ of habeas corpus, simply de- n
prives the citizens of the country of v
light, without adding men to the army, a
II increasing the means Of the Govern n
nent. y
To say that it was necessary to enable Ii
he President to arrest suspected persons Il
Without the formality Of making an afi- =!
avit before magistrate is in our opinion
10 reason. Hundreds of-such men have =,
cen arrested by the military, and by de- 70
ictives without waiting for writ, and in b.
be absence Of such legislation. 4

A UNITED STATES MAIL CoME Into
bias Henderson, courier and mail car.
rier for Grants army, came into our lines
near Hanover yesterday, riding a pretty
good horse, aud with his mail pouch stuff
ed with letters and important private
dispatches. Some of them, it is whisper
ed, are " official" and bear the weighty
appendage of U. S. Grants autograph.
The mail was turned over to Major Car
riHgton, and it is said the Secretary of
War undertook to assert the budget, as
chief mail clerk.
Tobias, who appears TO be quite nice
young man, not peculiarly attached to
the Yankees, was assigned neat room at
the Castle until the truth or falsity of the
mail he bears can be demonstrated The
whole affair looks like neat Yankee
tick, done up in yellow paper covers, to
deceive lourm lflary authorities. The mail
carrier animated 10 the Provost Marshal
that what his dispatches foreshadowed
would become matters Of fact within the
next few days. We have looked into the
young mans face, and don't like him at
all. The enemy are too close upon US
new to tolerate dalliance with pretended
deserters, and we warn our Government
against him and all such. If his asser-
tons do not turn out true he should meet
the fate OF all adventurous spies, and die |
by the halter. and that soon and very
