"army Order No: 99, which has all the 'I force of an act of Congress, directs the enrollment of allable-bodies male citizens between the ages of eighteen and forty five: Under oar acts of. Assembly, those between. the ages of eighteen and twenty one can claim exemption, but, like all other personal privileges, it must be plead ed or claimed at the proper time and be-' Tore the proper 'tribunal and, it not so done,,it is waived. T he 'relater ,was in camp.at, this place over two weeks' befere being-mustered in, and during all of' that tine never &idled exemption, nor made known the'fact that be was under age; nor did he suggest it at the time of being SWOrn, or since, Until within a few days, although he has been in 'camp about , one I I month , in all. It is said, - however; that , 1 -the relator is.not subject to military ditty State laws, and therefore could not be drafted. The act of Congress is pare- mounti:arid - Can fix.a different age for ser vice entirely, and has done so in the pres ‘eht case.

Michael Galgallon is remand lid to the 'custody of his,olficers to perform duty. - In another case a drafted man, arrested , by the Provoit Guard, sued out a writ of habeas corpus on the ground that the United States authorities had n o t the right to force hirwinto the service, inasmuch as he, as welt as every other drafted man, was exempt on paying a fine, and that it was the petitioners intention so to do.-- The Judge overruled the pleading of the petitioner, and remanded him back to the charge of the 'proper authorities, remark. ing that the pr9per course for him to pur sue was to claun exemption udder th( drafting regulations.

HEENAN AND THE CHA MPIO NM IP. &a., dm., 4te., .t Headquarters, Army of the .Potomac, Dee. 9.—The weather is milder, and" the' skim has melted considerably. An officer who came through from Alex andria, by land, with a strong escort, was told at Dumfries that sixteen sutlers, with Ragons, were captured by White's rebe cavalry, last week, and, the owners made to drive their own teams to a rebel station in the interior. White was represented as having a large regiment of cavalry. It has, for several days,,been considered unsafe to pass beyond Dumfries without a strong escort. A special court martial met to-day to try J. W. Irvine on a charge of being a spy, he having been captured within our lines. He was a private in the tlth cavalry, and was captured near his father's house, in the vicinity of Hartwood C. H. It is understood that the court have agreed up on a finding, the result of which is not known. WASHINGTON, Dec. H. — The court mar tial of Gem Porter met at 11 o'clock to day. Brig. Gen. B. S. Roberts, late Inspec cor General of the Army of the Potomac, under Gen. Pope was sworn. His position brought him often in contact with General Pope and made him familiar with his (Pope's) plans, operations and orders.— Witness was on the field during the entire engagement of the 29th of August. In view of what Tffe army of General Pope had accomplished, Pope said when the battles Of this day had closed, he had no doubt at at all that if Gen. Porter had made the at-' tabk as directed by the order of 4:30 D. m. of the 20th, it would have resulted in the defeat or the capture of the main army of the Confederates who were on the field at that time. Witness expected an attack to be made by Gen. Porter, as did General Pope prior to-the receipt of the order of 4:30 p. m., as he supposed any General within hearing of an important battle, as Gen. Porter was supposed to be, being on the line. of march from Manassas, which would bring him to the enemy's lines before four o'clock. Gen. Porter was in the opinion of the witness, between the hours of frinr or five o'clock, in a position where he could have attacked the right of the enemy, and as he also believed could have turned the enemy's right flank, and attacked their rear. W hat he knew of their position, and from what he knew of the country, prior to what he considered Gen. Porter's disobedience of the order of the 27th, he had been convinced that General Porter would not only do his duty, but he was led to believe that he would do it as well as any officer in the army could. Question—Then the grounds of the wit nesses unfavorable impression was formed merely upon the events with which Gen Porter was connected on the 27th and 29th of August. Answer—They were not the szplygrounds.l In a conversation which I had with Major Gen. Kearney, in which I mentioned Gen. Porter, and the high estimation in which I held him, that officer told me that I did not know him (Gen. Ported{ and added that Gen. Porter would foil Pope.— The disobedience of this order and'this conversation led me to believe that Gen. P. was not doing his duty. Several offi cers of Gen. Pope's staff were about du ring this conversation, among them I think were Cols. Ruggles, Morgan, Welsh and Captain Pope. Ido not think this conversation was heard by any of those present, nor do I think Gen. Kearney in tended it should be. He was an old friend of mine, with whom I had served for a great many years. and he was telling me of matters that had occurred on the Pen insula. We had withdrawn-from the oth ers. He was giving me his opinion of al the principal•officers there. Court at three o'clock adjourned nail o•morrow at eleven o'clock. The McDowell Court of Inquiry met at 11 o'clock. The examination of Mr. Peleg Clark, of Fredericksburg, was continued, but no new facts were elicited. About 2i o'clock, p. m., Gen. McClellan arrived and testified as follows. The ques tions were put by Gen. McDowell: Question—l desire Gen. McClellan to inform the court as fully and distinctly as he can on the following heads:' •; 4, let. As to Gen. McDowell's condnbt whilst in command of a divison in the Army of the Potomac. ' 2d. As to edn. McDowell'i bonaltat whilst in command of die ',lst army corps of the Army of the. Potomic. • • 3d. As to Gen. McDowell'i conduct so far as it bears on hie plans and operations whilst he was in command of the Depart. ment of the Bappahannock. Answer—l will say in regard to the first question that the, conduct of Gen. McDow ell as division Commander was entirely satisfactory. His division was in excel lent condition and all that I could wish while McDowell was in command of the Ist army corps. Prior to the movements upon the Peninsula I received the fullest co-operation at his hands in preparing the plans and arranging for the movement generally. In fact, he frequently, at my request, went beyond his strict duties as corps commander to facilitate prepara tions. I do not know that I can make a fuller statement. What 1 wish to convey is tbd idea that I 'received at the hands of Geth ('McDowell the fullest and' most cor dial eo-operation in the preparations for the Peninsula campaign. I know nothing periled:4y ,Of Gen. McDowell's. conduct while in command of the Departmebt of tafigappahannock, except that I received two,telegrams from him about the 20th of May, the first informing me that he would by a certain date move to my assistance. The. other, some unlooked for circum stances had caused the delay of a few days I in his preparation. I do not know dffi cially, but have every reason to be morally certain that his failure to advance to my assistance at that time was owing to cir cumstances beyond his control. Question—Do you remember if the reg imentti assigned to constitute Gen. Dow ell's division were designated, or were I ;taken indiscriminately and with reference to thbir station at the time? . Answer—My recollection is that they were selected with reference to their sta tion, being in the vicinity of Arlington, with some few changes subsequently made for particular reasons. I Question—How did this division com pare in discipline, drill and efficiency with your other division? Gen. McClellan—l would ask whether it relates to any special point. Gen. McDowell—To the last. Answer—Very thvorably I might add, so mach so, that upon one occasion a general order lies issued complimentary to the • Question—Was there a second occasion 13=== 11 tE r V 4 o a ti li t a wtk ili s ili o 9 ti r. & al e e' V l itgi thi ni s a t srde !t n . noted yogi. special attention? Answer—ln the construction of = the orks in the vicinity on, Upton's Hill, my tention was drawn to the remarkable pidity with which the troops of this` di-' slob completed the work. Question--Dti you know personally or 4 , report, Whethet: Gen. McDowll took usual pains in the drill of his division, a division; that is the entire body drill latogether ill the same field when it was der your command? nc.- answer—l think •he did, I think he ad more attention to hie division drill kn many divittien commanders. Though ere were seine few who paid such atten n, but he thought no more than he. I ,tad think that is as fair as I know. uestion-Whilst he was under your cora nd was he (Gen. McDowell) ever in ted by you with the handling on the e field of all the divisions on the Vir e side of the Potomac? If so please, e the occasion and the manner in oh this duty was performed? newer—On the occasion of a review ll the troops on the Virginia side. In month of November, I think, he was ted with the selection of the ground the entire conduct of the review, and rged his duty in a most satisfactory skillful manner. n. ' McDowell desiring to enter upon fferent line of examination, and th: of three having arrived, the court acf: ed until to. morrow. when the exami n of Gen. McClellan will beresumed, WBERN, N. C., Dec. 8, via Fortress oe.--Great disaffection exists in the or, and the impression generally pre• there that a signal victory under Gen. ,ide in Va., will be followed up by mediate and entire abandonment of •rder States, including North Caro nd Tennessee. Mon I inter trails Barn the i the b' liaa :! :n .rmation of great nature has been re ceives here, the purport of which cannot I be di ulged at present. A tachment of North Carolina Union volun eers, went out from Washington, N. e C., a few days ago and surprised a force of reb 1 soldiers in a church, taking them all prisoners. Th Savannah Republican makes a piteouk complaint over the rebel losses in the recent battles. It says : The total loss amounts to seventy-five thousand men, and says, the people of Charleston have palled up their lead pipes and contributed sixty thousand pouns to the government, and that the Confederate Government will i l issue r ceipts for ,all leaden pipes and other xtutres, and binds itself to replace them a the end of the war At t olumbus, Georgia, Liverpool salt sells fo one hundred and twenty dollars per sac. ; Virginia sides $650470 per hun dred; Li: con sides 50 cents per pound; hams 6e cts.

Mr. D vis, of Ky., presented two pe titions p °testing against the action of the advisory oard of the navy. Mr, S tuner, of Mass., from the Com mittee o Foreign Relations, reported a bill for ihe relief of the owners of the French vessel Juliet lifarie. Mr. Anthony, of R. 1., from the lCom mittee o Printing, reported a bill to in crease th bonds of the Superintendent of Printing. Mr. Hale, of N. H., introduced a bill to abolish the grade of medical officers in the service of the United States. He said that nothing was worse than this so called medical service. He believed that one of the soldiers from his State was literally murdered . by these medical officers. He understood that. many of them could not speak a word of English, but they got on the shoulder straps and went.about exerci sing military authority instead of medical skill. He had also detailed to him the circumstances of the death of Lieut.. Col. Dwight, after the battle of Antietam, who, when he was dying, said to a medical of ficer, my wounds are your protection. The bill was referred to the Committee on Military Affairs. Mr. Wilson, of Mass., said that doubt less everybody regretted the necessity of making these arrests in this.country. The President regretted it as much as any body. He did not think any loyal man would charge the President with wantonly violating the rights of any citizen. For a long time the leading traitors had sat here and no arrests were made, but when the war commenced it was necessary, and the first arrest_was made for selling gun caps to the- enemy. He for one thanked the President for making these arrests, as it was a part of the means of preserving the government, and he hoped the President and his advisers would not shrink from ar resting any man who shows probable cause of being in league with the rebels. There was never a rebellion where so much con sideration and tenderness had been shown, and so much humanity for wicked trai tors, Mr. Saulsbury, of Del., did not doubt but that there were arrests made which were justifiable, but these men were citi zens of Delaware, whose loyalty has never , been questioned andthey were arrested by persons from Maryland. AU they askOd ;Was by what authority these men froth ,Mar land dragged peaceful citizens from the loyal State of Delaware. The motion to lay it on the table was disagreed to. Yeas 3 ; nays 40. Mr. Field, of N. Y., said he 'Would vote against the resolution. He was of the opinion that the President had the right to suspend the, writ of habeas corpus. The .framers of the constitution evidently pro vided that the habeas corpus might be sus pendedin times of insurrection and inva sion, and he thought it was clearly an ex ecutive act. He was of the opinion that if any complaint was to be made, the govern. ment had been too lenient with traitors. He knew nothing about these citizens of Deleware, and was glad if there were none but loyal men in that State. Mr. Bayard, of Delaware, contended at some length that the power to suspend the writ of habeas corpus was not an execu• live act. If this were admitted and the legislative paler had no right to inquire then the President might imprison men or torture them, and do as he pleased with them. Mr. Sherman, of Ohio, was in favor of adopting all these resolutions of inquiry, which were offered in good faith. He be lieved that this right to suspend the writ of habeas corpus was purely a legislative power, and could only, be done by Con giefis; but since the legislation of last Con spas the President had the power given him. He thought that many of these ar rests were great mistakes, and every arrest ought to be reported to Congress and the reasons for it given, and if this power is to be unlimited the Government will become oppressive. Congress should throw around this suspension of the writ all the guards and checks necessary to preserve the rights of the citizens and the character of the Government. The people have been exas perated at the manner of these arrests and discharges ; and it was due to the country and justice to the party that no man should be arrested for light causes, and these Causes and charges should be properly ex plained and set forth that they may be known, and Congress has a perfect right to call for all the information that they may go before the people and be able to explain and defend all of the arrests. Mr. Trumbull, of Illinois, said that as he could not see any practical benefit to be attained by passing these resolutions, he was incurred to vote against them. He bad thought that these arrests had been tinfortuttate and impolitic. .1 olglsti and commentators have belittle power - Or susPending th‘l writ of babe' s corpus. It, vasa leguilative NiVets. gay feeling t• iv EU hiPet, in sympathy with, the tra" , bat immure it is flared that We is an ~.y.es ise ofnece v asary and' arbitrary power; and he would sijito his friend from Massachusetts, (Mr. Wilson l ( who glories in these arrests, that there is very great danger in them. There is a bill here from the House relative to this very subject. He was in favor of acting upon that as a practical measure. Mr. Powell, of Ky., concluded that the President and his Ministers had! no right to make these arrests, or to suspend. the writ of habeas corpus, and that in doing so they were guilty of an usurpation. Mr. Fessenden, of Me.—l!would like'to ask the Senator if he was at the head of the government and was satisfied. in. -his own mind that an individual ids time like this was about to commit a crime, the con- I sequence of which would be exceedingly ! injurious to the government !and *mild. strengthen'the arms of the rebellion, and there was no other way to ,Prevent it. individual Would he not arrest , that with out law and hold him by the strong hand? Mr. Powell—lf the individual mere.ac ting as a apy br was infracting the laws of war, I would have him arrested and pun ished by those laws, bat if he' wits a pri: vete citizen and had intracted the laws, I would arrest him and band him over to the civil authorities and if there was no 'law I for the offence, ,as an honest man , would have to let him go, for I should have sworn' faithfully to execute the laws: Mr. Fessenden repeated the :cfriestion. Mr. Powell—lf I was President, which . is not a supposable case, I would do noth ing to violate the Constitution arid laws of my country. If I thought the party was about to do anything wrong, I would have him placed under bonds kir good be havior, and if there was no law, I would have a watch placed upon him to prevent his doing harm, and at the next desaion of Congress I would try to have such s alitiv, passed. I ' Mr. Fessenden--The Senator forgets one clause of my question. That was, if-, there was no other way to preveiit it. , Mr. Powell—That is not a suPposable case. Mr. Collamer, of Vt.—When the Con !stitution provides that the writ of habeas corpus may be suspended, does its not ne cessarily imply that a man niay'be arrested unlawfully? Mr. Powell—The suspension only de nies him the great remedial right of taking him out. • 1 Mr, Collamer—Yon never try a party for guilt or innocence on a question of ha - beds -- corpus. I Mr. Powell—We know that it - does not. It provides that the Judge shall inquire , into the causes of the arrest, but dbes:the: suspension of this writ ever authorize the President to make arrests and iniprison any man:7 Mr. Collamer—The only question the . Court can entertain is, whether the pro cess by which the man was imprisoned, was a legal one. If this writ is impended' pursuant to the Constitution, it implies that a man may be imprisoned-unlaWffilly. Mr. Powell replied and contende d that the people had decided that these arrests' should cease. The recent election showed 1 this, Mr. Wilson, of Mass., claimed tl6 no such a question was settled by th ' e' elec tions,but the only thing settled was that the epublican party could not rais men enough to send to the field to whip the Southern traitors and still have; men enough at home to vote down Northern Democrats—that was all that wall set tled in lowa, the regiments voted at the recent election and fourteen thoqsand voted for the administration and ' four thousand against it. There were about the same proportion in tae Wisconsin regiments. He thought four-fifths of the men who are fighting the battles of the country, would vote to support'. the President. Mr. Nesmith, of Oregan, said he should vote for the resolution, but still. thought there were cases where the arrests ought to have been made, and he would do any thing and everything to put down traitors every where. Pending the question; the Senate adjourned. House.—Mr. Brown, of Virginia,, re sumed his remarks in advocacy of the!bill for the admission of the State of Western Virginia into the Union. He stated the various considerations why the Stites should be admitted as a matter of expedi ency. The people of that section bad been struggling for forty years for a Sep arate existence. He recounted the wrohgs they have suffered from the Eastern part of the State, and said they had now sixteen regiments in the field, and these 'Were hb tained by volunteering and not by drafting. Were they to be turned over to thebld commonwealth and oppressed and perim cuted? He had received a telegraphic dispatch from ineeling containing the substance of the resolution of the Legis lature, asking for the passage of the pend ir.g bill precisely as it came from the Senate. He most earnestly appealed ;to the House to give them the relief they ask. Mr. Colfax, of Indiana, rema:ked that last session he had great doubts as to the propriety of the passage of this bill ; bht on examination his mind was now mane up that it ought to pass the State Le gislature? being lawful. He _,, the patriotism of Virginia in refusing to be thrown into this wicked rebellioh. The President and the headset Departreetit together with both branohes of CongregOi had repeatedly recognized the . State and Legislature without protest from any quar ter. He expressed his gratification that the State constitution provides for emancipel tion and comes knocking at our doors with the tiara of freedom on her brow. j Mr. Yeaman, of Va., briefly alluding to the arguments which had been adianted, asked, that'as Virginia was now represent` in Congress, and therefore in the, Union; what need was there for another act'to let her in again. Mr. Colfax replied that the bill propose to admit not an old State, but Westerd Virginia, embracing the compact portiod of the State, leaving the loyal citizens in Accomae and other counties without the limits of the proposed State. Mr. Oliver of N. Y. said he would vote, for the bill with reluc tance but as a neces sity; the new State being the result of rev olution, and governed by the higher law of; self-preservation, and protection and fidel ity to the Union, Mr. Hutchings, of Ohio, said he would vote for the bill; for, by constitutional pro vision, Western Virguna Would become a free State. Mr. Crittenden, of By., appreciated the patriotism and valor of the people of Western Virginia, and the desire they ex press to become a free people, but in this matter he was not'governed by feeling, but by the principles of constitutional law. 'Congress could not admit a new State out of the ancient territory without the assent of the old commonwealth, and this had not been given. If States could be made in the method proposed, new ones could be made at pleasure, irrespective of the Constitution. Mr. Edwards explained his views for Supporting the bill. He believed it would have a tendency to break the powers of the rebellion in Virginia, and besides there was no legal Legislature or government in Virginia at the time the people of West ern Virginia took measures to form a sep arate organization, and he would sustain the loyal people, and it there was no other way, he would seize the rebellions portions 7 -hold them as territory and repopulate them. Mr. Wickliffe asked, "you speak about repopulating Virginia." What would you do with the people ? Would you 'exter minate, kill or make slaves of them . ? Mr. Edwards said, if necessary I would • ekterminate that_whole neeple in inder ta preserve the integrity of the Union. I Bhould go for that. yriN12,4,11 rj..,Lt..11 la 4 , • _ 164Mr....WV.Mtkasked, "wo en and 044. fl ale of Boots SY Ni ' - " Shoes , • •• .NeothivAutnigt kolid :Zlg.i.ihvit AT N o = 2H to armer ' i - agb - tety .l- 11iii*Linfeii" • - °2B 111 If fr • tionailmin itavViiii*ipr*arnierrinient::: 11°":"TilizIft?AcimotrealtEut6lik,nitine"- !rtiuyi are entitled 4,6 3 protection :anti 'ilitifiti. w world w" - 11!.!
