II the accounts from North Carolina arc
true, that State is suffering more from the
State militia than she did ct any time
during the war. It seems badly credible
that such outrages should he permitted in
a peaceful State when peace is general
the country, and we feel in
clined to take tho report with q considera-
bio grain of allowance. Should tho &C
counts be truo, however, the interference
OF the General Government ia needed.

4 CArD.-I learn that it has boon re
ported on tho streets in Raleigh that I had
been liberated from my confinement by
Col Kirk because had given information
rs TO crimes committed in Alamanco in
volying the guilt of other parties. take
this method of correcting this report I
have neither given nor promised to give
any such information and possess none
such that I could communicate. I was
liberated upon no such grounds, but upon
giving a bond for my appearance and
keeping the peace prescribed by military

during the late war, commanded some

many Of them applied to Judge Pearson
for relief by writ of hdbcas corpus, de-
olaring that they were illegally held by
military rulc.
On ono occasion Col. Mallett omitted to
return an answer to Judge Pearson why he
held q citizen who had sued ont writ of
labeas corpus before him. The Judge was
and without hearing argument,
issued an attachment against Col. Mallets

Of committing a contempt, and gave his
excuse why he had not answered. Having
thus purged himself of contempt, he was
released from tho attachment.
On Saturday, 10th inst, Judge Pearson
issucd writ, ordering Kirk to have before
him the body OF Adolphus G.. Moore, who
petitioned for q writ of habeds corpus. On
Sunday, 18th, Kirk received the order Of
the Judge, and sent as an answer, that no
should not obey the order, and that "such
things had played out" and that he was
acting, in this, under the order of tho
Governor.
This is Thursday, 21st, 2 o'clock, and
Judge Pearson has been hearing counsel

and dragged across tho country from Ala
nance to Caswell, where he is held Il
prisoner, snbiect to all the inconvenience
and insult that may be heaped upon him
by Kirk and his men.
Judge Kerr and fifteen other good and
respectable citizens of Caswell county, are
now imprisoned with Mr.. Moore and the
others from Alamance, and no one of them
has seen the legal warrant or knows the
reason for his arrest.
There is not a Judge on the English
Bench who, if so insolently defed, would
have hesitated moment to sustain the
dignity of the law as embodied in his Of
Gee and person. by issuing an immediate
attachment against the party, and even
leading the posse, if necessary, to bring
him to account. And We should regard
any Judge q curse to any country who
would not do so.
We think we know why Judge Pearson
hcsitates in this matter. He will ultimate
