Great Question Unsettled

Itappears from the following, commu.
nicated to the New Orleans Times, that
the great question Of the legality Of pay
ments made with Confederate notes is
still unsettled; gf .r
The Hon. F. L. Gates, Judge Of the
Third District, at the last term Of this
Court in Lsfourche, decided that Confed-
crate currency was not an illicit cause
or consideration Of contracts. when the
contracting parties lived aud traded
within the Confederate lines. The ground
upon which this decision was based is
that the inhabitants Of the States or Dis
tricts, governed and controlled by the
Confederate authorities, could not,
in the absence Of actual protec-
ton from the Federal Govern
ment, be considered as bound by the old
allegiance to the latter; but that they

This view Of the case is borne but by
the well settled doctrine with regard to
the relation between government and
protection--a doctrine that is held as an
axiom in the law of nations, and which
has had the direct sanction of English,
French and American Courts, and more
particularly in the remarkable case Of
the United States VS. Rice, 4th Wheaton,

United States, treating of conquest by
the British Of . portiopiof our territory
during the war Of 1872, stated that "the
subsequent evacuation of the conquered
territory by. the enemy, and resumption
Of authority by the United States, cannot
change the character of past transact

Judge Gates regarded the, decision. of
the Supreme Court of Louisiana on the
subject of Confederate notes, as being SO
unsettled, that the Jurisprudence of'the'
State is open for further discussion in
this respect a y f.lS1T. X-tylMfl
The course pursued by the Judge is
certainly correct and well may it be said
that the question SO far from being ex-
hausted, has not been placed in the
proper light--at least to the length the

THE NOON DISPATCHES
From, Farther Point,

| FARTHER PoiNr, July 26.-The steam

favorable. She had paid out 2S3 miles
OF cable and was 263 miles from land.
Nothing further had TRANSFERRED con

A sanguinary conflict between the

The London Times, of the 10th, says
it is doubtful whether the Austrian Gov.
ernment can Withstand the victorious
Prussians, who, according to all calcula.
tions, should assemble before Vienna to-

1t believes that the repeated loss of the
AustriaDs in Bohemia, will deter the EN-
peror from inal encounter near the
capital, and that an interview between
the two.monarchs will take place before
the Prussians shall be ready for the onset.
The Austrian Emperor told his people
that Vienna would be treated as an open
city, and that he would limit operations
to defense of the line of the Danube,
which might bring the Prussian attack
on Florendoff, two or three miles from
the gate of Vienna, where the Austrians
have an entrenched camp. '.
In St Petersburg, in diplomatic cir
cles, it was declared that Russia has no
at present of abandoning her
policy of neutrality, and that she would
not interfere unless France made an acj
tive Intervention. 1855 II

DANGER TO BE AvERTED.

Commenting upon an expression con-
tanned in late speech OF BLAIR, the
jackson Clarion says 1--WE are on-the
eve of civil war. A decided triumph
of the Constitutional Union party, in
the coming elections, is all that can pre-
vent the catastrophe, Of course, fanati-
cism would not be permitted, without a
terrible conflict, to seize the government
: al powers in all departments and destroy
the liberty and prosperity of the nation.
Conservative men, Of all parties and all
sections, would array themselves against
the movement-organize a separate gov
eminent, and measure arms with the usur-
pers on the battlefield The struggle
would be fierce, bloody and terrible, tran
scending, in devastation and bloodshed,
anything which was developed by the late
war. We do not agree with Mr.. BLAIR
in the prediction that the apprehended
civil war would be confined to North
ern territory. 1t seems to us thatreason
does not sanction that expectation. If
the conflict comes, in the very nature OF
things, much of Southern soil must re-
ceive another baptism of blood. We
cannot hope or expect to escape
repetition of the awful scenes of rapine
and death through which we so recently
passed And if constrained again to
resume the sword, what would there be
left of the elements of material pros
perity to us, at the end of the conflict
Is it not undeniable that another war
would leave our native land . scene of |
widespread desolation and ruin?
Chow shall we avert the dangers
ahead of US? What can be done to per
petuate nationality and peace The
question is easily answered. Let all
conservative men in the nation--alI who
love Liberty and venerate the Govern
ment as it originally existed - at once
lay aside all prejudice, all sectional feel
ing, and cement the structure Of new
party, having, rs ITS distinctive prihci-
pie, the reconstruction Of the Union
upon the basis of the Constitution In
other words, simply TO restore the Coy
eminent of our fathers in its purity and
according to its spirit This done, lib
erty to all men, and secure and honora-
bic nationality will dawn upon this
gloomy land as surely as light heralds
the rising sun What other course can
we pursue2 How else can we be saved
Let us, at least, make one determined I
effort for reconstruction, according to
the policy of our noble President If
we fail, to God and ourselves the future
must be left lrrrr c~l 81. 4
