CIVIL AND MILITARY LAw.-We oc-
cupy considerable space on our out
side with a correspondence between
Gov. Holden and Maj. Gen. Ruger on
the subject of civil and military law.
The subject is an important one to
the citizens of this State, and we hope
all will read the correspondence. We
are gratitied that Gov. Holden insists
on the trial of citizens by civil tribu-
nails instead of by military commits
sions. The Governor sustains this
claim with what we consider an incon-
trovertible argument, and we are sure
that his course will meet the approba-
ton Of the people generally. Inas-
much as Gen. Ruger contends for the
right to try citizens by military courtsa
the Governor has referred the mattcf
to the PresidcntHor his decision.

BUFFALO SPRINGS,
MECKLINBUHG COUNTY, Va,
july II. 1865.


You ask my ''vicws of the future
course and future interests of us all.
The case is so plain that very little
can be said or written upon it. We
of the South referred the question at
issue between us and the United States
to tho arbitramcnt of the sword. The
decision has been madc--lnd it is
against us. We must acquiesce in
that decision. accept it as final, and
recognize that Virginia is again one of
the United States. Our duties and
interests coincide. We shall consult
the one and perform the other by do
ing all we can to promote the welfare
OF our ncighbors and kindred, and to
restore the prosperity of the country.
We should at ancc commence tAc du-
tics of peaceful citizens by entering
upon some useful pursuit, qualifying
ourselves to vote if possible-and ut
the polls orr votes should be cast for
conservative men-mcn who under
stand and will maintain the interests
of Virginia as one of the United
States.
This is the course which have re-
commended to all those with whom [
have conversed on the subject, and it
is that which l have adopted for my
self, as far as practicable. Very truly
yours, j. Il. JOHNSTON.

| Three children of jeff. Davis arrived
here this morning on the st. John.
stopped at the Delavan House for a few
hours, and left on the Rensselaer, and
Saratoga Railroad for Montreal.
There were two sons and daughter
younger. The names of the sons
We're Jefferson and William. They
were accompanied by the mother Of
Mrs. Davis, white servant girl and q
man servant. A large crowd was at
tracted to the Delavan House, where
quite q disgusting scene took place.
"A number OF women went in, and,
amid the most extravagant professions
OF delight and affection, repeatedly
kissed the children. While the chill
dren should not be held accountable
for the deeds of their father, there is
certainly nothing in them nor their
parents that entities them to any pc
cullar manifestations of regard, over
hundreds of respectable children of

The latest news from Washington
Is by no means favorable for the
South, Us far as speedy pardons are
concerned. The President has order
! ed q temporary suspension of requisi-
tons upon the State Department for
warrants of pardon, and the Attorney
General will not proceed with the e.
animation of applications for Execu-
tive clemency, until three or four
thousand cases which have been ia
vorably reported upon have been
carefully -x;,nined and approved by
the President. This delay is certainly
to be regretted, rs there have already
accumulated more than twenty-five
thousand petitions for pardons, and
tour or five hundred fresh applica-
tlons reach the Attorney-General's Of
flee each day.
The revelation which has made our
townsa2an--Mr. Foster-quite a pub
Tic h1hctcr, is said to have had much
to do sth the recent action of the
resident with reference to pardons.
He Is anxious. IT is said, to break up
the Swarm of cormorants and sharks
who have collected at Washington to
prey upon the eager petitioners for
clcmcncy. Birds of prey of every de-
gre., from TIE eagle to the carrion
crow, darkcn the very air as they flap
greedlly around every unfortunate
Southern gentleman, who follows his
petition to the Federal Capitol.
The President, we learn. is desirous
OF putting 4 stop to this disSraccful
traffic III parelons. This good result
ne may accomplish by Il rapid DISPOSE
tlon of the cases before him much
more certainly than he can by delay.
1t Is that suspense and delay which
maicth the heart sick, which also
makes the business of the pardon
brokers prosperous one Claim
agents, spectators in soldiers pay
rolls, and Ill such cormor:lnts grow
fat upon the delays of the Govern
mcnt. Where there is prompt action,
they find no harvest of goodly profits
with reference to this matter of par
dons. We now have ut Washin gton
an illustration of the truth of the
aphorism. ''that history is pcrpetually
repeating itself" An unsuccessful
revolution must, necessarily, leave
MANY ut the mercy of the Executive,
whether King or President.
During and after the bloody asaize,
the temptation to trade in partlons
was SO great tnat all the officials who
had any influence at court engaged in
the business. Macaulay states that
while the humble rctaincrs were pill
laying the obscure participants in tkc
rebellion, the infamous Jct1reys was
fast accumulatipg Il fortune out of the
plnndcr of Il higher class Of victims.

tlcman, by operating upon his fears,
tho vast sum of fifteen thousand
pounds. The maids of honor to the
Queen plunged boldly into the bust
ness, and distinguished themselves
pre-eminently by rapacity and hard
heartedness. They enriched them
selves by this odious trade, and so
slow and debased were the morals of
that day that William Penn was the
agent upon one occasion of the maids
OF honor i'll extorting seven thousand
pounds from some girls of noble IA
miles who had presented II standard

Interesting Anomalies.

uttle IrOuDle 1Or tnOught ana reason,
when he shall endeavor to reconcile
some of the anomalies into which the
American people have been betrayed,
because of the abandonment of all
their ancient landmarks. We are told
that the States of the South, having
no right to secede, were never once
out of the Union! and yet the work,
troubling numerous wise heads at pre-
sent, is how to get them back into the
Union. They we're never, while the
war lasted, admitted to be out of the
Union! Now that the war is over
that they are conquered people, aid
have succumbcd to the sword-they
are not yet i1fthe Union; and variety
of processes and courses must be
employed, civil and military agencies,
and Il certain probation endured,
before they can possibly be admitted
back to that brotherhood from which
they had never once taken their de-
parture! Ag;in-regarding the Abo-
litionists as the parties with whom
the war originated, to compel the
South back into the Union-we find
the same people, after four years, in
conflict for this one object, now rcso-
lutely striving, I'LL they can, to prevent
the South from being restored to the
Union. Is there any pleasing such
people? Is there any modo of recon
Cling these anomalies? If we were
never out of the Union, we are not
out of it now! If VIC are warred upon
to compel us to remain in the Union,
what il monstrous thing, that thcsam
parties should war upon us still to
keep us out of it; and how keep us
out of it, when we are already in?
Positively, VIC are sitting, check by
jowl, with Massachusetts,; and have
been sitting alongside Of her for the
last five years; only we have not been
getting our pay, when, according to
her usual shrewd policy, she has taken
care to collect the uttermost f;lrthing
from the common treasury, to which
her experience in figures could give
her the smallest title. We have never
been out of the Union, but she has
taken care to monopolize most of the
Offices The South has none. Ger
tainly, the temptation to get back
into the Union, as held ont by that
beautifullest of the sisters-seen inSler
own mirror-is not very encouraging
It is clear that Massachusetts, and
perhaps 81 few others Of the sisteren,
have not so much desired the restora-
tion of the South to the Confcderacy,
as the acquisition Of her territory.
Here is the bait for her virtues. Ex-
terminate the whites of the South-at
all events beggar them-confscate
their lands, and send good New En-
gland men to manage the several
pachalics. Boston alone could fur
nish satraps for all the provinces
throughout all the nations, and throw
in a few thousand ool-masters and
mistresscs besides; and there would
be troublesome conflict with the intel
lcct OF Cui1ee, as q subject, which
would call for an yearly adjustment of
accounts, or would aagitatc the subject
OF local and State rights; or provoke
the perpetual question Of the me'tm ct
t1tuna; SO offensive to modern patriot
ism.

.hhnthuW, Governor Holurn'S paper
referring to the persistent misreprc-
scntltions circulated ut the North in
regard to the condition of Southern
public sentiment, thus forcibly and,
doubtless, truthfully exposes the prin-
clpal motive of those anonymous and
other hbelcrs, who have been con-
stantly retailing their ISLANDERS through
the medium of the Northern press:
Zone of the objects of all these
SANDERS was pecuniary gain. 1t had
become widely known that many of
the citizens of North Carolina wished
J to sell their lands; and it was known
that many would be compelled to sell,
and that the citizens of the State We're
not able to purchase. The great OBJ
lect, Ethen, in this plan, was to prevent
people emiSrating from the Northern
States to North Carolina; that these
lands should thus be compelled to re-
main Ill the market without BUYERS,
till the prices required by the owners
should greatly decrease, when the very
men who had originated and circulated
these sl;lndcrs, would buy up the lands
ut these reduced rates; and then, let
ters and kilograms could again be cir
culated to order, calculated to induce
Northern and Western people to move
to North Carolina and purchase lands.
Enough is known of these schemes to
convince any fair-minded man that an
extensive association of men, some of
them OF large means, had formed
themselves into bands and societies
for this purpose, and what we have
seen and read is only part of this
general plan. When we are appriscd
of the object for which they were
working, no man can fail to sccahe
shrewl cunning Of the plot, and the
probability of It's success, if there had
been any facts for such IL plan to start
upon. But happily for us, we arc
pcaceable and united, aud such associ-
ntlons cannot work out their schemes
without some facts to sustain them.''
