A Point Well Made.

Judge BLISS, the sterling Democratic
member in Congress from the l4th Con-
gressional District, in his speech on the
proposed amendment to the Constitution,
made this excellent point:
Are the States whose people, in part,
are in rebellion against the general Gov.
ernment, out Of the Union in theory and
in fact t2 Are they foreign Powers, and
their inhabitants foreign people, not sub
ject to the Constitution and laws Of the
United States? If SO, why do we raise
and send mighty hosts to enforce, by the
sword, the bayonet, and the cannon, obs'
dience and subjugetion to that Coustitu
ton and to those laws2 If the people
ofthe so-called seeded States are citizen,
in the Union, why are our courts engaged
under an act Of Congress, in conRscatipe
their estates for acts of treason against
their Government Treason implies oit-
izenship; it cannot be committed by au
alien or an enemy. II those States arr
not out Of the Union in thsOry Of law
and if their people own the allegiance to
the Government Of the United States
which is claimed Of them, then clearly
those States are among the number o.
States threefourths Of whom must unite
their voices upon any proposition to y
mend their Constitution. r et

promise with the erring subjects, who
have been led astray BY wicked friends,
or who have been deceived by those mis-
chievous agilators. He proposes giving |
his son as "rausom for ALL" who, by
the merits Of his death will make an
atonemeut for the sin Of the world, and
by his mediation, reconcile them 20 their
heavenly sovereign, aud also to one an
other. The Gospel proposes to remove
the existing enmity between God and
man, .and between man aDd his fellow
man, so that all may become reconciled
unto God, in one body, by the death of
the cross. 1t also proposes remedial
means to change our moral status or COM
plexion, and to help our infrmitics
give us light and ability for the perform
ance of duty. As a condition of recon-
ciliation, the Gospel docs not propose to
deprive man Of his natural and civil
rights and liberty. 1t leaves him in the
possession of these, and only eDjoins up
on him, in every relation of life, supreme
love to God, and the same manifestation
OF love to his neighbor which he has for
himself. These are 20 be the funda

his fellow beings. Love must be thu

HEADQUARTERS CAVALRY CoEps,
Lawtonyi!Ir, S. c., Jan. Is, 1863

Nearly two months since my command came
to South Carolina TO keep back the enemy and
protect the property and persons of citizens. =
Some people, through bad motives and some
through ignorance, have tried 10 convince the
yood citizens of this State that my men were
lawlcss and upprin.ipled. The feeling of m
security to the ctizep, and the animosity be-
tween tue soldier and citizen, which these Sc-
ports are liable to engender, yils unless cor
rectcd, prove disadvantageous to our cause.
The good conduct and good discipline OF
nv command is known to every citizen where
I have cncaa1pcd. Inow hoIa certificates Of
most OF the citizens of this sr rction of country
that they have no complaints whatever against
my troops. :.
If any depredations ofany character what
ever arc committed by my troops upon the
property OF citizens, a representation ot tue
matter will ensure them justice. If their
horses arc stolen By any one, | will use. every
excrtion to have them restored, and if any citl.
zen of this entire State will bring proof to me
that, during the two months | have been IN
South Carolina, any soldier, under my conl-
mand has stolen his horse, I will either see
that the horse is returned or that the value OF
the animal is promptly paid the citizen. will
also personally present the Injured party with
one hundred dollars to repay him t~ any
trouble and expense he may nave incurred in
procuring and presenting 10 me the necessary
proofs. j.. HhhLhh'.
