IMPORTANT 811131TECT. (MILITARY POWER OF THE PRESIDENT. Able Opinion of Judge Curds. I,4 , 34CLUDSD TIROS LAST 11/211L1 -But this proclaspation and these orders create new offenses not known to any law of the United States.— " Discotiraging enlistments " and "say disloyal practice" are not offen ses known to any law of the United States. At the same time they may include, among many other things, acts which are offences against the Jaws of the United States, and among others treason. Under the eqngtitution and Jaws of the United - States, except in cases arising in the Aged and sweat forces, every person "charged with an offense is expressly _required to be proceeded against and tried by the judiciary of the United States and a jury of his peers; and he is required by the Constitution to • be vanished, in conformity with some act of Congress applicable to the offenses proved cnaeted before its sommission. But this proclama tion and these orders 'remove` the accused from the jurisdiction Of the judiciary;, they substitute a 'report made by some deputy provest mar shal, for the presentment of a grand 4aryi they put a thilitary commission in place of f a 'judicial court and jury required by • the Constitution; and they apply the discretion of the com mission and the President, fixing the dekree and kind of punishment, in 'Stead of the law of Congress fixing the penalty of the offense. It no longer remains to be sugges ted that.if the ground of action an nounced by the President he tenable, he !Nay, as. commander-in-chief of the army and navy, use powers not delegiSted to the United States by the Constitution ; or may use powers by ,the Constitution exclusively dele gated, to the legislative and judicial departments of the government.— These things have been already dime, so far as the proclamation and orders of the President can effect It is obvious that if no private citizep is protected • by the safe guards, thrown around by the express provisions of the .Constitu tion but each and all of those safe gui;ds may be disregarded, to sub jeut hit' to military arrest upon the report,,of some deputy provost mar_ shal, and imprisonment at the pleas ure of the President, and trial be fore a military commission, and pun ishment at its discretion, because the President is of the opinion that such. proceedings may "best subdue the enemy," then all members of either House of Congress and every judicial officer is liable to be proceed ed agail ,as a "disloyal person," Ihy the same means and in the same way. So that, under this assump tion concerning the implied powers of the President as commander-in lief in time of war, if the President all be of opinion that the arrest, io weeratipn, and trial before a miltary eciamlussion of a judge of the United States, for some judicial decision, or of one or more members of either House of Congress for words spoken in debate is "a measure which may best subdue the enemy," there is then conferred on him by the Consti tution the rightful power so to pro (-wed against such judicial or legisla tive °Moor. t This power is certainly not found in any express grant of power made by the Constitution to the President, nor even in any delegation of power Insole by the Constitution of the Vplted States to any department of he Government. It is claimed to ,be found solely in the fact that he is ,i,be commander-in-chief of its army ,anal wiry, charged with the duty of . snbduing the enemy. And to this _end. as he understands it, he is ,charged with the duty of using, not only those great and ample powers with the Constitution and laws, and self devotion of the people in ex ecuting them, have ,plaeed in his bands, but charged with the duty of nosing powers w'hich the people have served to the States, or to them ; and is permitted to break eitosnit those great Constitutional safe ty:Ards of the partition of govern „mental powers, and the immunity of be citizens from mere executive eon :tap' which are at once both the end and means of free government; .0 / The necessary result of this inter retation of the Constitution is that, Hi time of war, the Pres;,,dent has say and all power which he may .deem it necessary to subdue the ene ; and that every private and per- Smug right of individual security isteinst mere ive control, and every right reserved to the States, ,or to the peopte,rests merely upon military discretion. • But the military power of the pxosident, is derived solely from tbe tonstitution ; and it is as sufficiently -defined there as his purely civil pow er.. These are its wozds: "The .President shall be commander-in- Alija: of the army and navy of the Viiiped States, and of the militia of thttie icti States, when called into the actual service - of the United States." .._:This is his military power. He is the general-in-chief, and as such, in prosecuting war, may do what Gen erals in the .fold, are allowed to do within the sphereof their actual Op teratione, in.suhordination to the laws of their wonky,. fll9Ol which they derive authority. When the. Constitution says that the President Shall he the command eeo-chief of the army sad navy of thallnited States and, the militia of t e States, when ,ealled into whoa service of the United States; does it mean that he shall posers military power and command over all citizens of the United States; that, by military edicts, he may con trol all citizens as if enlisted in the army or navy, or in the militia called into the actual service of the United IStates i Dees It mean that he may MIMI make :himself a legislator, and enact lawe governing the citizens of the U. 1 States, and erect tribunals', and create paces to enforce his penal edicts upon citizens ? Does it mean that, he may, by a;execu , itiva dame, and annul the larva of the several Stites,. which respect subjects reserved by the Con stitution for the exclusive action of the States and the people ? The President is the commander-in-chief of the army and navy, not only by force' of the Constitution, but under and subject to the Constitutiod, and to every restriction therein contained, ! and its every law enctetdd by its au 'i thority. He is general-in-chief; but can a general-in-chief disobey any law of his own country ? When he can, he su peradds to his rights as commander, the powers of an usurper and that is a military despotism. In the noise of arms have we become deaf Ito the warning voice of our fathers, jto take care that the military shall always 'be subservient to the civil powers? Instead of listening to these voices, some persons now seem to think that this is enough to silence objection, to say, true enough, then is no civil right to do this (u , that, but it is a military act. They seem to have forgotten that every military act is to tested by the Constitu tion and laws of the country under whose authority it is done. And, that under the Constitution and laws of the United States, no more than under the government of Great Britian, or under any free or any settled government, the mere author ity to command an army is not an authority to disobey the laws of the country. The framers of the Constitution thought it wise that the powers of the commander-in-chief of the miltary forces of the United States should be placed in the hands of the chief civil magistrate. But the powers of the commander-in-chief are in no degree enhanced or varied by being confer red upon the same officer, who has important civil functions. If the Constitution had provided that a commander-in chief should be ap pointed •by Congress, his powers would have been the same as the military powers of the President now are. And what would be thought by the American people of an attempt by a general-in-chief to legislate by his decrees for the peo ple and for the Statue.? Besides, all the powers of the Pres ident are executive merely. He cannot make a law. He cannot re peal one. He can only execute the laws. He can neither make, nor suspend nor alter them. He cannot even make an article of' war. He may govern the army either by gen eral or special orders, but only in subordination to the Constitution and laws of the United States, and the articles of war enacted by the legislative power.- , The time has come when the peo ple of the United States must under stand and must apply those great rules of civil liberty which have been arrived at by the self devoted efforts of thought and action of their an cestors, during seven bnndredyears of struggle against arbitary power. If they fail to understand and apply them, if they fail to hold every branch of their government stead ily to them, who can imagine what is to come out of this desperate struggle ? The military power of eleven of these States being destroy ed, what thou ? iV hat is to be their condition I What is to be our condition ? Are the groat principles of free govern ment to be used and consumed as means of, war? Are we not wise enough and strong enough to carry on this war to a successful military end without submitting to the loss of any one great principle of liberty? We are strong enough. We are wise enough, if the people and their ser vants will but understand and observe the just limits of military power. What, then, are those limits? They are these. There is military law ; there is martial law. Military law is that sys tem of laws enacted by the legislative power for the government of the army and navy of the United States, and of the mi litia when called into the actual service of the United States. It has no control what ever over any person or any property of any citizen. It could not even apply to the teamsters of an army, save bs force of express provisions of the laws of Congress, making such persons amenable thereto The persons and the property of private citizens of the United States are as abso lutely exempted from the control of mili tary law as they are exempted from the control of the laws of Great Britain. But there is also martial law. What is it? It is the will of a military com mander, operating, without any restraint save his judgment, upon the lives, upon the property, upon the entire social and individual condition of all over whom this law Wends, But, under the Constitution of the United States, over whom does such li4irloes extend? Will any one be bold enough to say, in view of the history of our ancestors and ourselves, that the President of the United States - can extend such law as that over the entire country, or over any defined ge ographical part thereof, save in connec tion with some particular military opera tions, which be is carrying on there?— Since Charles I, lost his head, there has beiin so king in England who could make such a law in the realm. And where is there to be found, in our history or our constitutions, either state or national, any warrant for saying that a President of the .United States has been empowered by the Constitution to extend martial law over the whole country, and to subject, thereby, to his military power every right of every citizen? He has no such authority. In time of war, a military commander, whether be be the Commander-in-Chief or one of his subordinates, must possess and exercise powers, both over the persons and property of the citizens, which do not exist in time of peace. But he possesses and exercises !loch powers "not in spite of the Constitution and laws of the United States or in derogation from their authority, but in virtue thereof and in strict subording,- tiop thereto." , The general who moves hie? army over pr,ivt4at , property in the course, of his operations in the field, or who impresses ;into the public service Means •of tranwportglion or subsistence, to lenajoa Maio •oet. against the enemy, or *be - aoloes permeof within hie lines as tppies,or destroy"' supplies in "immediate Lur of falling into the hands of the on may, tees authority unknown to the Con- stitution_and laws of tlie United States in time of peabe; but net unknown to that Constitution and those laws in time of war. The power to declare war includes the power to'uss the customary and necessary means effectually to carry it on. As Con gress gray institute a state of war, it may tegisisits into existent* and place under executive control the means for its prose cution. And, in time of war, without any special legislation, not the Commander-in- Chief only, but every commander of as expedition or of a military post, is lawful ly empowered by the Constitution and laws of the United States to do whatever is ne cessary, and is sanctioned by the laws of war, to accomplish the lawful objects of his command. But it is obvious that this implied authority must find early limits somewhere. If it were admitted that a commanding general in the field might do whatever in his discretion might be neces sary to subdue the enemy, be could levy contributions to pay his soldiers ; he could force conscripts into his service ; he could drive out of the entire country all persons not desirous to aid him—in short. Ile would be the absolute master of the coun try for the time being. No one has ever supposed—no one will now undertake to maintain—that the Commander-in-Chief, in time of war, has any Rich lawful authority. What, then, is his authority over the perauns and property of citizens? I an swer that over all persons enlisted in his force he has military power and command; that over all persons and property "with in his sphere of his actual operations in the field," he may lawfully exercise such restraint and control as the successful prosecution of his particular military en terprise, may, in the honest judgment, ab solutely require ; and upon such persona as have committed offenses against any arti cle of war, he may, through appropriate military tribunals, inflict the punishment prescribed by law. "And there his lawful authority ends." The military power over citizens and their property is a power to act, not a power to prescribe rules for future action. It springs from present pressing emergen cies and is limited by them. It cannot as sume the functions of the statesman or legislator, and make provision for future or distant arrangements, by which persons or property may be made subservient to military uses. It is the physical force of an army in the field, and may control whatever is so near as to be actually reached by that force, in order to remove obstructions to its exercise. But when the military commander con trols the persons or property of citizens who are beyond the sphere of his actual operations in the held, when he makes laws to govern their conduct, he becomes a legislator. Those laws may be made ac tually operative ; obedience to them may be enforced by military power; their pur pose and effect may be solely to recruit or support his armies, or to weaken the pow er of the enemy with whom he is contend ing. "But he is a legislator still ;" and whether his edicts are clothed in the form of proclamations or of military orders, by whatever name they may be called, they are laws. If he has the legislative power conferred on him by the people, it is well. If not, he usurps it. He has no more lawful authority to hold all the citizens of the entire country outside of the sphere of his actual operations in the field, amenable to his military edict, than he has to holdall the property of the coun try subject to his military requisitions. He is not the military commander of the citi zens of the States, but of its soldiers. Apply these principles to the proclama tions and orders of the President. They are not designed to meet an existing emer gency in some particular military operation in the field ; they prescribe future rules of action touching the persons and property of citizens. They are to take effect, not merely within the scope of military opera tions in the field or in their neighborhood, but• throughout the entire country, or great portions thereof. Their subject matter is not military offenses, or mili tary relations, but civil offenses and do mestic relations ; the relation of master and servant; the offenses of "disloyalty or treasonable practices." Their purpose is not to meet some existing and instant military emergency, but to provide for distant events, which may or may not occur ; and whose connections, if they should coincide with any particular mili tary operations, are indirect, remote, casual and possibly merely. It is manifest that in proclaiming these edicts the President is not acting under the authority of military law ; first, be cause military law extends only over the persons actually enlisted in the military service ; and second, because these per sons are governed by laws enacted by the legislative power. It is equally manifest that lie is not acting under that implied authority which grows out of particular actual military operations ; for these ex ecutive decrees do n6t spring from the special emergencies of any particular mili tary operations, and are not limited to any field in which any such operations are carried on. Whence, then, do these edicts spring?— They spring from the assumed power to extend martial law over the whole terri tory of the United States; a power for the exercise of which by the President there is no warrant whatever in the Con stitution, a power which no free people could confer upon an executive officer, and remain a free people. For it would make him the absolute master of their lives, their liberties and their property, with power to delegate hie mastership to such of his satraps as he might select, or as might be imposed on his credulity or his fears. Amidst the great dangers which encompass us, in our struggles to encoun ter them, in our natural eagerness to lay hold of efficient means to accomplish our vast labors, let us beware how we borrow weapons from the armory of arbitrary power. They cannot be wielded by the hands of a free people. Their blows will finally fall upon themselves. Distracted councils, divided, strength, are the very earliest effects of an attempt to use them. What lies beyond no patriot is now willing to attempt to look upon. Paper Famine and Jersey Edit- are A. meeting of the editors of New front to-day that can be forwarded for publication.

Mils --Forty Toting Girlie Horn- ed to Death. As was brief!) , mentioned last week, a terrible explosion occurred in the Confederate cartridge manufactory at Jackson, 34iss, on the 4th inst.— The immediate 'cause of the catag trophe.can never be known. From sixty to one hundred girls were us ually employed. It would seem that the full set of hands were not at work on the day of the explosion.— The Memphis Bulletin says : "After the explosion the building burst into flames, and shocking to tell, nothing could be done to aid the suf ferc.:;rs, or rescue them from the fear ful ravages of the fire that raged fu riously through the shattered build ing ; for among the finishod work packed away to send off when called for, was a considerable number of shells. As the fire reached them, these awful instruments of warfare exploded, sometimes two, three or more at a time, scattering masses of iron in every direction No one could approach the fatal spot—the firemen stood afar off with the en gine, idle, unable to !end their aid.— The roaring flames pursued their de vouring work uninterrupted, reduc ing to cinders the bodies of forty young girls, protracted in its horri ble fierceness by the exploding shell. The sight was horrible, but there was another scene still more harrow ing, if that was possible, than the work of death—it was the sight of screaming women and maddened men calling about for their children! The loved ones that had left them at the noon meal, rejoicing iti their youth and in the attractions of beau ty like a holacaust of maidens, offered in impious sacrifice to the Moloch of war." Garibaldi—llls Condition The friends of Garibaldi will be shocked to learn that his life is in a very serious danger, and they will be equally surprised to bear that if he dies, he will be not less the vic tim ef bad surgery than of heartless politics. In the desultory and unfor tunate firing that occurred when the Great Liberator was taken prisoner, it will be remembered he was shot in the foot—the wound being upon the instep. It was exceedingly painful from the start, and the sufferer was at once removed with great care to Varignano, where he was supplied with four medical attendants. The excitement and sympathy of friends in- England led to the visit of Doctor Partridge, of London, to the sufferer. He found the fiuir surgeons in at tendance equally divided in opinion as to whether the ball remained in the wounded limb. Dr. Partridge de cided that it did not. [For this visit, and the opinion in the ease. Dr. Part ridge charged and was paid $3,500.] New evidence, however, has reversed he decision; and the news now is that Garibaldi must lose his limb— "the only question being as to the moment and mode of amputation." Brigadier General Patterson The Philadelphia Inquirer gives the following verson of the manner in which the late Brigadier General Frank Patterson met his end : It was the habit of General Patter son to place a revolver under his pil low, on retiring for the night, in his tent. This was done on Friday night last. About daylight; on Sun day morning, he awoke, and for some purpose, displaced the revolver from under the pillow on which he slept, with his.qighthand, and while changing it to,the left, probably with the intention of hanging the weapon up near his couch, it exploded. The barrel at the moment pointed toward the person of the reclining man, and the whole of the contents were re ceived in his left breast, passing, it is believed, through the heart, and causing instant death. Tho Washington Republican, how ever speaks of. the unhappy affair as a case of suicile. It says : Ile shot himself with a pistol through the heart, about 10 o'clock on Friday morning, whilo laboring, it is supposed, under temporary aber ration of the mind, he having been very low-spirited and despondent for the past two weeks. It will be re membered that his brigade, at the advance to Warrenton, was ordered to Catlett's Station, where the enemy appeared—and,-as erroneously sup posed, in force—when he fell back with his command, for which ho was censured by Gen. Sickles. This preyed on his mind, and is the only manner in which the lamentable af fair can be accounted fbr. He was a brave and popular officer, much be loved by his command. The brigade is at present under the command of Brigadier General Revere, late Co lonel of the 7th New Jersey volun teers. Latest from the Front. AQUIA CREEK, VA., November 25.

New buildings for the accommo dation of the Quartermaster's and other departments are going up very rapidly, and this place is assuming something of its former business-like appearance. Rebel force at Fredericksburg --A Severe Battle Expected. WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.—Ad vices from the Times' special correspon: dent at Falmouth, dated this morn ing, show clearly that the rebels, in stead of evacuating Fredericksburg, aro preparing vigorously to dispute the passage of our troops across the river. Instead of their garrison, con temptibly small a week ago, leaving the city, it has been reinforced by the divisions under Longstreet and D. H. Hill, variously estimated at from 25,000 to 75,000 men, and prom inent batteries have been planted for their protection. Without some brilliant stroke of strategy on our part, a severe engagement will be necessary before dislodging the ene my. There is seemingly no room for reasonable doubt that Jackson has abandoned Northern Virginia, hav ing taken up his line of march .tbr Richmond on Saturday morning, preceded by Hamptcn's Legion.— He encamped the same night at Sa lem, and spent a portion of yester day at Warrenton. White's guerril las, about three hundred men, were at Leesburg on Sunday, and are left for marauding purposes. Released The two officers of General Mc- Clellan's staff who had been recently arrested and sent to Washington— Lieut. Col. Colburn and Captain Duene—have been released from an arrest, which appears to have been merely technical, and are ordered to report for duty; the latter to Gener al Brannan, in South Carolina, and the former, Col. Colburn, takes charge of an important bureau in the Adjutant General's Office. Interesting from the Front PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 29.—A Tri bune special, dated Falmouth, the 28th, says stain quo, still looking at the rebels across the Rappahan nock. They are vigorously fortifying all the roads leading out of Fred ericksburg, and the hills facing us On the latter they are building a second line of works inside of the first. Deserters say that General Bra,lrg's troops are arriving from the West, but this is not fully ac credited. All our information, however, agrees that the rebels have concen trated a very formidable force to dispute our crossing the river. It is variously estimated at from forty to One hundred thousand. Their aim seems to be to gain time for the in clement weather and bad roads of winter to retard our advance. The cheers and yells of the rebel troops in their camps across the river can be beard daily with great distinctness on our front and right flanks. Latest from New Orleans. NEW YORK, Nov. 25.—The steam ship Roanoke, from New Orleans on the 15th, and Havana on the 20th inst., arrived at this point to-night. Military Governor Shepley has is sued a proclamation, calling upon the loyal electors of the First and Second Congressional Districts of Louisiana to choose Representatives to Congress, and appointing the 3rd of Decembee as the day of holding the elections. A hundred suld twenty-four of the Bth Vermont Regiment, who were captured on the 4th of Spptember by the rebels ; were returned to New Orleans on the 13th of September. Seven were shot by the rebels for having enlisted in New Orleans Three privates, who formerly be longed to the Confederate army, but who had enlisted in the Bth Vermont, and Sergeant Wills and private Spear, both of Royalton, Vermont, were detained at Vicksburg. F )ur of the captured party had died since their captivity. Gen. Butler had seized and closed the Bank of New Orleans, it having been ascertained that it had sent $105,000 in specie to the rebel gov ernment within sixty days. This specie had been previously reported to Gen. Butler as having been sent away, which was not the fact. A cavalry reconnoissance sent out from Gen. Weitzell's force, captured two pieces of cannon within four 4 miles of Baton Rouge. Getting Ready to Advancc. By all late advice 6 from the West and Southwest we gather that our leading Generals are reorganizing and strengthening their armies preparatory to their making a sim ultaneous advance into the Cotton States, Arkansas and Texas. It would appear that General Grant, Rosecrans and Curtis are very eager to advance, but are detained until Gen. McClernand is ready with hie great trans-Mississippi column to move South, and they will assured ly act in concertlwith him. General McClernand's grand army has been organized into three corps d'armee, now nearly ready to march. Major General Morgan will command the first corps, composing the right wing; Major General Wallace will lead the second corps, being the cen tre; Major General Gordon Granger will have charge of the third corps, or left wing, of this army. This expedition will be ready to move by the sth proximo, when we may look for stirring news from everr depart went of the Southwest. IThe small-pox is raging terri bly at Cannelton, Martinsville and other localities in Southern Indiana. The Circuit Court of Morgan county adjourned recently on account ofthe prevalence of the disease. Three-01y* Killed. On" Friday - morning last, three sons of Mr. Jonathan Smeigh, of Windsor township, York county, came to their . death under the fol lowing painful circumstances: It appears that some time during the afternoon of that day, they went to dig out a rabbit that had taken shelter under the roots of a large tree which had been felled by a late storm. The trunk of the tree was Cut off the usual an from the roots, leaving an ordinary stump, but very heavy, as the tree had been a large one, The three lads, the old est about fifteen or sixteen years of age, commenced to dig under the upturned roots, to which was attach ed a large quantity of soil, and, from some cause or other, the whole mass turned over to its former place, burying the unfortunate children alive. The dead bodies were taken out in a terribly mangled condition. Union Victory In Arkansas SPRINGFIELD, My. 29.—Gen. Blunt, with five thousand Federals, attacked about eight thousand rebels, under Gen. Marmaduke, at Cane Hiil, Ark., on the 20th, killing sixty, and dri ving the balance some twelve miles, Gen. Blunt telegraphs that the ene - my is badly whipped, and will not probably venture north of the Bos tonmountains again this winter, and as they have consumed all the sub sistence in the Valley of the Arkan sas, they must soon retreat into Tex as. The Late Victory In Arkansas WAsuiNoTox, Dec. I.—The following has been received by telegraph at the headquarters of the army: ST. Lours, Nov. 29.—Major General Halleck, General-in-Chief:—Gen. Blunt, with his division, made ford marches and attacked the enemy yesterday morn ing at. Cone Hill. The battle lasted for several hours. The enemy, under General Marmaduke, began to fall back about 1 o'clock, but retreated fighting until sun down. The victory was complete. Our loss not great. The enemy's loss much greater than ours. Our forces camped on the battle field. The enemy retired to Van Buren. (Signed) S. R. Cuariss, Maj. Gen. READ : READ ! Important to Our Subscribers.
