THE MILITARY vs. THE CIVIL
POWER.
In yesterday's Post we endeavored to.
dislodge the champions of arbitrary' sr,:
rests, who have entrenched themselva
behind General Jackson's prnceedings at
New Orleans. We demonstrated that,
there was nothing in his action upon that
critical occasion , suggestive of the infa•
mous system which authorizes an irre
sponsible, swaggering and conceited of
ficial to substitute his humor or prejudi
ces for public taw.
We perceive that the Gazette of this
city, notwithstanding its frequent sneers
at those who have spoken reverently of
the Constitution, endeavors to prove that
all the outrages complained of, are entire
ly within what it dencminates the "war
power" of that instrument. In order to
illustrate its position' it alludes to the
action of the English Government in re
lation to the apprehended Irish rebellion
of 1848. Its:lap:
" When the troubles in Ireland commenced in
18.413, the Whig Ministry, through Lord John Rus
sell, introduced a bill empowering the Lord Lied:-
tenant of Ireland and deputies to' "apprehend
and detain, until the let of March.lB49, such per
sons as they shall suspect of conspiring against
Her Majesty's person and Government" This
was a suspension of the act of habcat co r lt, for
al Ire land—tha loyal North as well as the disaf
fected East, and the rebellions South and West.
The bill was introduced in the House, and went
through alt its stages to its final passage in one
day; and on the next day it, in like manner.
Passed the Howe of Lords. In both Howes the
vote was unanunoup. Even the Irish members
did not vote against it. Even Lucius O'Brien,
the brother of the rebel leader, gave it his sup
port,"
The reader will perceive that this action
of the British government has no more
analogy to the conduct of ours,in regard to
the point in discussion, than General Jack
son's proclamation of martial law in New
Orleans, has to Burneide's midnight ar
rest in 'loyal Ohio. Rebellion was appre
hended in Ireland, and the Government
proclaimed martial law there, and there
only. The , right of discussion of public
questions, was not disputed in England,
Scotland or Wales. The people of the
State of Ohio are not in insurrection
against the government, and therefore the
- Gazette's allusions to the Irish rebellion ate
altogether pointless and irrelevant. The
Press of England was not invaded, during
the brief disturbance in Irelandi the free
dom of speech, even in Parliament, de
nouncing the previous policy which drove
the Irish into rebellion, was not suppres
sed nor threatened; and, atter the revolt
was suppressed, the leaders captured and
convicted, the English government, with
that true policy which - ever marks her
conduct, acted towards them with a for
bearance, which abolitionists deny to loy-
al citizens here . The English govern
ment upon
.the occasion referred to, se
cured unanimity in Parliament _upon the
question of simply crushing therrebellion.
Our Congress, at the breaking out of hos•
tilities, put themselves aid constituents
upon record in favor of crushing our re
bellion ; they resolved simply that the war
upon our aide was waged for the restora
tion of the Union ; but since then it ha s
been diverted from its original purpose
into a naked crusade against the local in
stitutions of the rebellious States. Had
the Irish rebellion arisen to consequence,
and the rebels repulsed the royalists
in a few obstinate engagements ; and
had the English government then
changed the issue and declared that the
war was for the destruction of land
tenures, &c., in Ireland, there would not
have been much unanimity either in Par
liament or among the people. But the
English government was too cool and crafty
• for any such folly. It reified upon a
united public sentiment to simply put
down rebellion, and not. upon idle procla
mations calculated to strengthen it, and
at the same time cause discontent and di-
Worm among its friends. The English
government was for , the prostration of a
revolt against her authority; our Aboli•
tionists are for the destruction - of slavery,
mad care nothing for the vindication of
the government, only so far as It serves
to accomplish their fanatical designs.—
The Gazette indeed is authority pion this:
it saw the "hand of God" in oar defeats,
until the President issued his proclama-
tion, giving freedom to slaves, who still
remain in, slavery. "It pleased God,"
thp Grrxelte informed as, that we - should
be unsnecessful 'at Fredericisburg, and

nation until it shad be educated up to the grand

Here are the secret designs of our radi•
eels, and all their present professions of
loyalty for the government are merely so
many tricks by which they expect. to avert
popular condemnation. Ziese expedi
ents, lOwever, will not save them'; the
Democracy of the Union will restore the
Union. and with the assistance of Heaven
and good men here will cement it in
bonds of unity which will last we trust 'till
"time's no more."

But hear what the British historian,
Beleham, says : "The writers (of these
letters) appear to have been men very re•
spectable in their private characters; but,
viewing the transactions that were passing
before tLem through a thick cloud of
prejudice, resentment and interest, they
discover au eager solicitude that govern
ment should adopt more violent, or, in
their language, more vigorous measures in
support, of its- authmity; and, in their
laudable anxiety for the re establishmect
of order and tranquility, they seemed not
the le at to suspect that,of such measures,
.
a civil war must be the inevitable result.
Nor had they the wisdom or magnanimity
to comprehend that tar - other ties than
military force or imperious edicts were
necessary to form that bond of connection
which could alone restore peace and pros-,
perity to the colonies, and render the con
nection itself advantageous or honorable
to the mother country."
And the historian, Bissett, says: "It
is admitted that moderation, conciliation
or proper compromise would haveprevent•
ed the .4merican war; but resentment and
indignation against our enemies abiorbed
all thoughts of the impolicy which had en
abled their malignity to operate."
Even Lord Mansfield, tory as he was,
saw the necessity of a change of measures:
but he did not go far enough. He said :
"Nothing but a full and comprehensive
union of all parties and all men, could ef
fect the salvation of the country. He was
old enough to remember the realm in very
embarrassing circumstances. He had Been
violent party struggles; but no previous
time presented an image. of the present.
How far the temper ofthe nation and the
state of parties might admit of a coalition
he could not decide; but the event was
devoutly to be wished."
History shows, however, that the Whigs
had continually struggled against the un
constitutional and extreme measures of
the Tory ministry, and warned them of
the consequences that were to wise, and
that a coalition with them, on their mea
sures, was impossible, and the Tories had
at last to give place to the Whigs. But it
was after many years, and when weariness
of the contest allowed the popular excite
ment to subside, which had sustained the
extreme party and its measures, Such
excitements often grow into a chronic
state andLcease to be felt, as such. Niebuhr
safe: "The greatest mental excitements
become in the end as habitual and indis
pensable to men as gambling, or any oth•
er gratification and excitement of the sens
es." It is obviously so. I hope it is not
yet so with us.

To le Excellency, Abraham Lincoln.
PreteWent of the United States
Sin: In relation to our revolution,
George 111. said: "I have a firm confi
dence in the Protection of Providence and
a perfect conviction of the justice of my
cause." And- no doubt he yeas sincere,
in so far as selfishness of opinion can be
calledsincere ; yet history tells us—" Never
was it suspected that the contest, by
which an empire was rent asunder, by
which every political, civil and social tie
was dissolved that can unite an endear
nation to nation or man to man, cost this
monarch a sigh or a tear."
We believe that, under the circumstan
ces, our present war is just, and that it was
inevitable, and will end well, if we con
duct it and ourselves wisely. But extreme
men cannot do this, because their extreme
views prove in them a state of chronic ex
citement that forbids all moderation and
rule; and all reasonable action must be
according to rule, No doubt there are
extreme men everywhere, who fully par
take of this excitement, and approve of
the most extreme measures ; and this state
of feeling is carefully kept up by partisan
papers and leagues. And it is claimed
that even men of the South, who have
been relieved from the oppression of the
rebels, sanction and urge the moat ex
treme measures. But it is quite natural
to look for such sentiments from men
under such circumstances. Daring our
revolution and its preliminary contests,
piles of letters were writtemby royalists
here and sent to England, containing the
most extreme views, and the Tory min
istry very foolishly believed in and acted
on them.

JOURNEY T H ROUGH THE
SOUTHERN CONFEDERACY.
A correspondent of the New York
World having made an involuntary jour
ney from Vicksburg to Richmoruisojonrn
,
ing about three weeks th the Sonthera
Confederacy comes-home more devoted to
the Stars and Stripes than ever befors,
and determined never again to trust his
valuable within Obeldom. We
give an extract or two:::-Of his experi
ence:
Strength and Weakness oftt , Le /11 1 1eP.
The very length of the lind, from-Vesi
renton up tfusehorea of thed:ilgßlack r and
,
across to this Yazoo, or, whit, is the salmi,
1 4he ilileager)lesa thole - force to s tuardit,
tithe great weakness of 'the IpoSition. It
would require, to keeU99 l lfaline (twenty
six miles) intact, an army . or fifty thous
and men and a hundred pieces of light.ar
tillery.f I have a grounded conviction,
based upon current testimony, that at the
time of our sojourn there were not more
than fifteen thousand troops West of the
.smaller stream, and six thousand East:—
Could these all be concentrated upon one
decisive point they might with their works
repel five times numbers ; but a reptition
of such a plan of attack they may never
hope for again.
The confederate hopes of Vicksburg
are mainly hung upon General Joe John
ston, who arrived at Jackson on the 13th,
and was pursued thence after a destruc
tive fight next day. His plan appears to
be to amass a considerable army outside
and drive off the besiegers. Vie do not
believe his intention is to get inside of
Vicksburg, but fo leave that post to Pem
berton. If he can do this, Grant is, by
the double line, front and rear, placed in
a critical condition.
Gen. Johnston and His Forges
We have no fears for the result; but in
this case minutes are of great moment.—
To the three thousand forces at Jackson,
when we passed through, Johnston seems
to have scraped up six thousand additional
and Loring is since at Jackson with his
corps, which will leave Grant with fifteen
thousand in his front and say twenty
thousand in the rear, deducting disabled
and captured in the three late engage
ments, which, from the meager repokts
received at Richmond, we judge to be
considerable. The extent to which John.
ston run be reinforced by the railrcad
from the Tombigbee to Meridian is fifteen
hundred a day. His army cannot be sup
plied by that route. Vicksburg is , pro
visioned for thirty days only: The coon,
try affords him perhaps a sufficiency of
corn and forage. His communication
with the rest of the South is very pre
carious, and if Grierson be not idle, may
be destroyed.
General Martin Luther Smith command
ing a division, is post captain. Major.
General Forney. an Alabamian of small
reputation, wields one corps and General
Loring the other. Lieutenant• General
Pemberton, a pet of President Davis, of
small field experience, commands the de
partment. Much and bitter criticism of
his competency exists In the South, bat
I am informed in high quarters that the se
lections' of Mr. Davis have uniformly
proved to be so good, that his judgment in
an untried case is not urgently opposed.
Fuli General Johnston is the ranking offi
cer, and has been sept to the scene of ac
tion charged with the duty of saving
Vicksburg: It is needless to say that
considerable alarm exists in the confeder
acy for its fall, and from my nearer and
inside view of affairs I see nothing to bar
the way to victory.
That they should have been able to make
every male between the ages of fifteen and
fifty I exceptions noted) a soldier of the
State, and drove into the ranks nearly the
.whole able-bodied population is a remark
able stretch of power in the history of re
publics and a potent engine of war. To
Any one who has the accomplishme n t it
is not mysterious but strange. That they
have been able to carry and force their
men into many desperate battles without
more symptoms of demoralization is also
remarkable, as is the fact they can use so
large a proportion of conscripts with
impunity.
That there is a Certain apitude for arms
among these people is true. Whether
this is to be set down to their credit as
men and citizens may be questioned ; but
as a national cr belligerent advantage it is
undoubted. The mass of these men love
I fighting more than we do. The people,
their provisions, their roads, their houses,
riewepapersz—all are at the Gall of the
State. Like the intrusive and protective
system of France the government is in
the smallest pie. What sympathies could
not be enlisted were few enough to be ig
nored. All things, the law itself, bead to
the imperious "military necessity." In
material they commenced with little, but
have lly one expedient or another gotten a
larger stock. The first null Run was a
godsend to them ; since then they have
imported large and small arms and ord
nance stores in quantities in exchange for
pottop. Clothing they still lack, but one
cannot bet see that neither in the field of
war nor in society do clothes make the
man. In equipments they are short, but
here again they have hit upon a wonderful
expedl :Jit--to use less. Medicines they
are scant of—so much the better, perhaps.
The health of the men at this season,
although the food is very coarse and
scanty, is on the average as good as our
Own.
MORRIS
Operation of the Blockade,
The blockade has been and is a dame•
ging injury. It is useless for them to talk,
as they do, about the development of man
ufactures in their midst. 4.11 snob are fee.
tains, and will subside at the first dawn
, of peace, as it needs no Adam Smith to
foretell. The whole South is living in the
plainest way, in many things having re
verted to the necessities and practices of
the earliest pioneer settlers. Some com
modities there are in manufactures which
rank almost as necessaries. A spool of
thread, for example, costs a dollar in
some parts of the South. The impotency
of the South in theelements of p a
self.
sustenance and a long war is seen most
clearly in the railroads. Although they
appropriated all the rolling stock of !the
border States, and drew it back as they
retreated, the roads South are in shabby
order- All arng the roadsides and at the
termini can be seen the wreck of cars and
locomotives. The road beds, never goad
and much used, are kept in poor repair.
The Rebel Army
There are many points still untouched
which I can only mention briefly. The
rebels, have confidence in their generals :
Lee, beauregard, Johnston and Cooper.
Their President is on the whole quite pop : ,
ular, and hi, failing health shields him
from much criticism. The hostility to the
government en measures of policy is not
very notiOeallle even in Congress.
Several fallacies seem to be running
through their minds in regard' to
what is
passing outside of their limits. 'The re
cent investment of President Lincoln with
extraordinary war powers convinces them
that we are living under an oppressive des
potism—unconscious, seemingly, that they
have long had amore complete, a more
dangerous one, because actin through
the forms of law, in the practice of their
own government. Legislation there is
more completely subservient to military
power than in the Assembly of Napoleon.

grand flagrant rupture of that solemn cov
enant?
We give it as our deliberate conviction
that every man's life, liberty. or property
within their lines is at the service of the
government in such sort as it may pre
scribe. Public opinion has little or no
voice ; the exigency has so long been the
excuse for every encroachment that the
precedent is established.
The_pase._of Mr . Vallandiga34 *Ifas of
ten been eited to me. If the manner of
his arrestis correctly reported here, this
lis by far the most unhappy event of the
kith for the reputation of our government.
When 1 asked, "What would have been
done in a similar case with a Southern
malcontent?" they answer that he would
have been tried by civil law. "But if not
convicted?" Why, then military force,
ctithe. - answer. But conlict between the
COO ig at present improbilble.
Live the !Union !
On the•whole our faith in the unity of
the republic is strengthened by this expe
rience. We must regard the confederacy
as a wonderful bubble of bubbles built,
yet one which has many bright hues on
the surface. It does not seem to be found
ed upon any .great national, popular, cra
ving, but rather the invention of a few
shrewd men. It possesses all the elements
which they say divided the old Union,
and some peculiar to itself, without so firm
a bond.
• The talk of extermination, black flags,
and so forth, is passionate nonsense. We
have looked into their talk about "alien
races," but the argument proves too
much. Desperation may nerve men to
great deeds of heroism and valor; it can
not multiply the hands nor permanently
increase the strength of the arm. We
consider that with military reverses the
people who have voices would elect for
the old flag, stipulating of coarse for such
terms to their life, privileges, and inter
ests as they could.
We emerge from the seat of the rebel
lion baptized with a new loyalty—as does
every Union prisoner, -we believe. The
flag seems fairer, the very rocks and hills
dearer, and the sweet souls more charm
ing than ever. Separation has no charm
comparable with Unity. Oar motto is
again inscribed; The Union ! Est° per
pedua ! !
A Draft for Three Hundred Thou
sand Men.
Correspondence of the Chicago Tribune,
WASFINCITON, May 18.
A draft for three hundred thousand men
will shortly be ordered by the President
for the purpose of filling up the old regi
ments. It is not the present intention to
form any new regiments, There is no time
to drill and prepare regiments for this
campaign. Recruits sent into old regi
ments will be more fit for field service in
thirty days than they would be in six
months If pat into new regiments under
green officers. It will be far better for
the conscripts that they be assigned to the
old regiments and placed among the vet
erans who have experience in the routine
and duties of the camp, and who under
stand how to avoid many things which in
jure the health and cause sickness. The
old, bronzed warriors know how to cook,
wash, sleep, eamp and march to the beat
advantage, and can teach this valuable in
formation to their new comrades.
Many friends of the Union are impa
tient at the delay in ordering tLe draft,
but it has been caused in getting ready.—
Considerable time must necessarily be
consumed in preparing forms and instruc
tions for the deputies, printing them,
and sending them out. There was some
time lost in selecting a Provost Marshal
General.
Col. Fry has got the machinery of the
draft nearly perfected, and the appoint
ments of the assistants for the districts
are nearly all made. Ina few days mere
the enrollment will commence, to be fol
lowed by the draft as speedily as possible.
Those conscripted will be at once muster
ed into service, uniformed, rationed and
assigned to their regiments, after a few
days preliminary instruction. The regu
lations for the government of the draft
are already printed.
Each State will be credited with the
time which her troops have enlisted. One
three years' man in Illinois will reckon as
much as four nine months' men in Penn
sylvania. if a draft for 800,000 men be,
ordered, not to exceed six or seven thou
sand will be required of Illinois—perhaps
not so many—while Pennsylvania and
New York will each have to raise from
forty to fifty thol44n4t
The Draft.
Attorney General Bates has prepared
an opinion, which, it is said, is accepted
by the Department, that the law of Con
gres regarding the payment of three hun.
dred dollars in lieu of service, when a
person is drafted, is mandatory, and that
this sum, and no less, must be fixed in all
such cases, but it is also held that this
only exempts the party from that particu
lar draft when the money is paid, and that
a similar liability is incurred upon each
and every draft.

The enemy is in motion. Their trains
being observed moving towards Culpepper,
followed by a heavy column of troops.—
General Lee, it is said, has issued an ad.
dress to his army congratulating them
upon their peat achivements, and, fore
shadowing a raid into Maryland. He tells
them they are to have long and rapid
marches through a country without rail

The trains of the enemy have been seen
for several days moving from the depot of
supplies below Fredericksburg, and bal
loon reconnoissances have discovered a
large column pushing rapidly in the direc-

tends making a raid into Maryland or are
endeavoring to get between Gen. Hooker's
army and
,Washington, we are unable to
determine.
Every one is on the qui vise, and stir
