CONFEDERATE PRIsoNERs-We would state;
for the information of correspondents, that the
Confederate prisoners at Johnston's Island are be-

Lookout, Maryland.
We would also state that boxes sent to The Con-
federate prisoners from the South rarely, if ever,
reach those for whom they are intended; hence it
IS next to useless to take the trouble since large
quantities of clothing and provisions are constant

MIsTAKEN.-We SEQ that many of our cotempo-
rares publish a synopsis of the new Military Law,
in which it is stated that the old clause in regard to
the exemption of Railroad employees is rc-enacted
This is mistake-the old law is not re-enacted in
this respect as will be by comparison. The
now law allows the exemption of one man for.each
mile of road used in military transportation, and
each man so exempted to be reported by name with
description of person, &c The old law allowed the
officers of the roads to exempt as many they
pleased.

THE SUBSTITUTE QuEsTIoN.--Judge Pearson

the other two Supreme Court Judges BATTLE and
Manly not sted to attend at the late trial
to have decision of the whole Court and
settle the question ia. as Judicial decision can
settle it. Everybody expected Judge Pearson to
decide in favor of those who have employed substi
tutes. but everybody would have been better salts
fed if the opinions of the other Judges had been
given.
In Virginia and Georgia all the decisions have
been made in favor of the constitutionalty of the

Gov VANCE BEFORE THE PEopLE.-The Gov
ernor has just addressed the people at Wilkesboro
and at Statesville. We are informed that at both
these places he took decided ground AGAINST the
Convention agitation appealed to the people
to heed his counsel aud have nothing to do with
this mischievous movement. This is no more than
we expected from Gov Vance. Indeed We should
not have been surprised if he had avalled himself
of an earlier opportunity to throw the weight of
his influence against this dangerous evil. We
sincerely hope the Governor will not stop short in
his good Workout, heart and soul, will give his
aid to the Confederate Government, so as to suffer
no shirkers to cover themselves under the cloak of
his protection, to escape service.
1t win be great satistaeti on to all loyal men,
to be able to support the State and Confederate
Governments as unit in the cause of the war.

THIRE was considerable talk yesterday
in reference to the proceedings in the First
Branch of the City Council on Tuesday
night. So fat as We can learn the, is but
one feeling about it among Union men
and that is decided disaPprObatiOn of the
action Of the majority. There need be no
agitation on the subject, however, further
than reSolute determination that the city
shall be put right before the rest Of the
State. The suggestion made in these col.
umns yesterday, that the Legislature be
requested to pass an act Immediately on its
meeting, providing for the ballot system In
municipal elections, meets with general
approval, and will no doubt be acted upon
BY that body bsfoEs election day. There
really is no need, 10 the opinion Of good
authorities, for such an act, but to set
aside all Pretences to the contrary the act
had better be passed. We hope that the
City Council itself will Superseds the ne.
