CAPTAIN BEALL.-The New York
News insists that the hanging Of
Captain Beall will be a judicial mur.
der. 1t says: ~ .'I'
As the facts appear, popularly,
Captain Beall was certainly no, spy.
But if spy he must have been in
the service Of the Confederate States,
and as such his capture ofsteamboats
on the lakes was clearly not piracy,
but an act Of war. The. finding Of
tae court is, therefore, clearly contra.
dictory. The Confederate authorities
are bound uuavoidably to protect
man who, like Captain Beall, acted
under their express Instructions; and
failing in saving his life, will beyond
all question make his death o subject
of that most horrible measure Of war,
retaliation. 49,,

UThe domestic relations precede
and, in our present existence, are
worth moro than all our social ties.
They give the first throb to the heart,
and unseal the deep fountains OF it's
love. Home Is the chief school OF
human virtue. Its responsibilities,
joys, sorrows, smiles, tears, hopes
and soliciludes, form the chief interest
Of human life.--[Chauning.
