NApo1EoN's LETTERS. Prince Napoleon,
40 President of the new commission for
snrperintending the publication of the cor
respondence Of Napoleon ], has addressed
a renort to the Emperor Napoleon III, in
which he says that it was decided that on
W. those papers should be given which
emanated directly from the emperor him
self and that the text Of these should be
exactly reproduced, even with their gram
NAUTICAL inaccuracies. The commission de-
cided however as a general rule, on sup
pressing, whatever might be offensive TO-
individuals, as when the emperor wrote
be thought rather Of the effect to be pro-
duced at the time than Of pronouncing q
Judgment which history should record
The members of the commission were
guided by the simple idea that they ought
to publish such documents as the emperor
would have given publicity to if, surviving,
he should have wished to show posterity his
person and his system and what his decis-
ion would have been might easily be in
ferred from the choice made by himself
INF the forty volumes of his letters, collect

relating to the campaigns Of Italy and

Hon. Waiter B. Staples, of Virginia.
SIR In what purports to be publish
ed synopsis of a recent discussion in the
House Of Representatives in Congress you
are reported to have stated that the num-
Der of persons exempt from Consumption
by me in this State including the Militia
in State service, amounts to about Is, 900
men.
AS this publication has produced very
erroneous impression upon the public
mind, and as I cannot suppose you intend
to misrepresent, or to dc injustice to a
State which has done her whole duty to
the cause and to the Confederacy, and
which, think, may say without dispara-
cement, has had under arms during the
past summer and fall, larger proportion
of her white male population than any
other State in the Confederacy; / take the
! liberty to publish this note addressed to
YOU, to correct an error into which you
have fallen.
Of the $4,000 men to whom you refer,
all but about 1,450 are the Militia who
now are, and most of them for months
past have been in active military service
npder the command and control of Con
federate General, confronting the enemy.
These l,45O are composed Of Judges Of
the Supreme and Superior Courts, Justices
of the Inferior Courts, Sheritts, Clerks
Ordinaries, Tax Collectors and Receivers
and are absolutely necessary to the exist
ence of the State government. A large
proportion of them are over SO years o.

The Conservative party of North Caro-
lima, of which Coy. Vance last summer
claimed to be the head and front, is now
in minority in the Legislature, having
failed to elect Senator Of their own faith
and being unable to pass any resolutions
or to take other action looking to peace {;
and it is charged that the Governor, hay
ing gone over to the Destruetises, CARRY

affairs. No man who values his seputa-
ton for yeracity, will deny Vance's hos
tiliiy to the election of Hon. f. G. Reade
to the Senate, or that he did not do all Ae
couId to defeat him; and his hostility to
all propositions looking to peace is equal

man now that he was when Gov. Vance
appointed him to the Senate to fill a vacan-

THE HOUSE BILL TO LIMIT EX-
EMPTIONS.

The great complaint Of the army hersto-
fore has been that the exemption laws have
worked unequally, through the partially
of those in whose hands is placed the eke-
cution Of them. The bill which has been
reported to the House of Representatives,
and which is now before that body, has a
tendency to aggravate, rather than allay
the discomfort upon that subject. 1t gives
to the Secretary of War the pow r to ex-
empt whomsoever he may think proper.
The organizaison Of the army depends en-
tirely upon his will. lie can say let there
be no more men added to the army, and
he has the authority of Congress FOR it.
He can pick out any number offpersons
whom it may suit his fancy to release from
the toll and danger of a soldiers life, and
they shall be released. Congress gives to
the Secretary power to relieve such per,
son or persons as "he may be satisfied
ought to be exempted" Itplaces him, in a
word, above all law-nakes him law to
himself Congress so!emnly abdicates the
power to raise and support armies, which
is conferred upon it by the Constitution,
and turns it over to the Secretary OF War:
We believe that it has no right to abdicate
powers entrusted to it by the Constitution.
We believe the trainers of the Constitution
never intended that they should exercise
any such power. They. not the Secretary
of War, have the power to say who shall
90 into the army, and no other person or
persons, officer or officers. We conceive
this bill to be in direct conflict with the
words and spirit alike, of the Constitut ion,
and we protest against its passage.
We are as much in favor of increasing
the army as it is possible for men to be.
We have offered, and we shall otfe,, no
opposition to any really good bill that may
be proposed, and in good faith, havilg a
tendency to effect that very desirable oh
iect. 1t is partly because we believe his
bill will have the dramatically opposite
tendency that we oppose it, and protest
against its passage. 1t is evideltly bill
to increase the power and patronage OF the
Chief Executive officer, for the secretary
is, according to the received doctrine, but
a clerk, and acts only in obedieIee to the
directions of the President. Tie conse.
ouence Of the passage of this bill will
eventually be, not to increase TIN number
of persons joining the army, but . dimin-
ish it. No person who has any laim up
on the friendship of the Executive EITHER
for political services rendered orffor other
reasons-will be sent to the arty, If the
Executive choose to prevent it.
We are for bill that will deVlope the
whole strength of tho country and we
want it to be lao Of Congret Let II
