Come, gentlemen 1 many of you have promis ed tbat "when It becomes necessary" yoa will turn out. Tbat time has come, and tbe ntcttitty is upon us. Let ui show our by our reecs. We bave talked long and fond About fightioff tbe Unloa-ehrlekern, and tbe Taculal bord aader the Despot, Liocola. Now wt bare an opening.

Sidney Johnson will either lead us on to victory, 01 something else! Come, ye braves, tarn out, and let tbe world see that you are ia earnest ia tnwkiag war apoa tbo enemies of the Soathl Jlsey of yoa bave made big speeches ia favor of the war. - Not a few of yoa have sought to Sell tbo army supplies. And thou sands of yoa art willing to stoop to fill tbe Jcm for tbe salaries they pay, and yoa bave been so patriotic as to try to get your sons, and other relations into otSees Some of you bave Airti fvrtetptiout i piat ttrnder-ttrafprrt and loa, ia tbe glorious ca jw, at two to four dollars per day t Come, now, enter tbe ranks, as there is more bonor ia serving as a private. Come, gentlemen, da come, we insist, and enter tbe army as volunteers. Vou will feel bad when Varea', and pointed oat as one who had to be drive into tbe service of your country I Let these Union traitors submit to tbe draft, but let as who are true Southern men to. Utr. Any of as are willing to be Judges, Auornies, Clerks, Senators, Congressmen, and camp-foJIowers for rjr, when out of danger, but wbo of ns are willing to shoulder our knapsaccs and nuskets, and meet tbe Hes sians? Come, gentlemen, tbe eyes of tbe peo ple are upon yon, and tbey want to see yoa if yoa will pitch in. This is good opening I Wlio wiU Volunteer! We hope that our Secession neighbors will not become vexed at us, for urging them to a discbarge of a moat serious obligation. Tbe Governor of tbeir choice, wbo has led the waj in precipitating this State into rebellion, has called for an addition of 30,000 Volun teers. The men wbo ought to lead tbe way. wbo bare beea most noisy in tbe defence of a Southern Confederacy, and or a war for in dependence, stand back, refuse to move a peg, and even allow those who bave entered the army, to come from tbe field or battle, where tbeir services) are actually needed, to raise companies. This is a shame I We bave not less than a balf doten gentlemen in this town, be-ide some In tbe country, wbo are willing to servo as members of the Confederate Con gress, but aot one of tbiin proposes to raise a Company or Regiment, or even to serve as a private ia the grand army of tbe South, strug gling for Independence! These men, moreo ver, are ia comfortable ci ream stances, and could leave tbeir families enough to live oa. Not so with tbe poor laborers and mechasics tbev are urging to tarn out. Tbeir wives and children, daring a bard winter, would be ob liged to suffer. We hvo several cititens wbo bave actually been appointed to offices by the Confederate Government, say four of them in this town civil offices tbat pay good salaries. Now, if these will lay aside tbeir offices, and eater tbe army, wo shall, ia all time to come, giro them credit for a proper amount of patriot ism. Let tbcot undergo tbo privations of camp life, and tbe dangers ead eiposare of tbe battle-field, and our word for it, tbe peo ple, of all parties, will say tbey are ia earnest. What do yoa say, gentlemen you who bold offices, and yoa wbo are seeking ofilcest Let tbe strife and straggle for tbe accumulation of fortunes, and posts of bonor subside, until this war Is brought to ao end. Let us show our "' by our awis, le. us moderate oar desires to make money, and to fill positions of boaor, removed from all danger, and eon trib ute to tbe general weal by the nmpU of en tering the service. . Our osteatatiouo display of large subscriptions to tbe cause, will make no iesilcg impression In our favor, as long ao we Kfuso to submit to personal exposures where armies soeet. , Come, gentlemen, wo must insist upon yonr entering tbe service, and upon yoor dolug it mow.

Ho , Bequeatratica Act-rlU ' Coiutitvr. . ticntlitjr, and policy. The Confederate Court, for tbo District of South Carolioa, met in Charleston on Monday last, ills Honor, Judge MagrAlh; charged tbo Juries, after which the following proceedings took placet . (We copy from the CWwr.) Mr. J.L. Petlgra read a Writ of Garaisb soontf erred upon him, as, tbe interrogato ries attached la reference to alien enemies' property. : Mr. Petlgrt said tbe objection be bad to these interrogatories was. thai human au thority bas the right to putlbere questions to klm or any one in tbe same'rlrcumstaaces. -He might recognise tbe authority of tbe State of South Carolina to do as 1 proposed by tbo Act, because la a- State llke.South Carolina a sufferer bas. 00 xecurity ojp remedy,' against those, ia powerf freg&iom guarantee ia the Constitution of tbe State. For a State may do whatever it is not forbidden not to do by the fundamental law of the State. But the Confederate States bave no such claim to generality. Tbeir authority is confined to the Constitution which confers it and tbe powers delegated to them. And, whereas, ia the case of a sovereign we must show a guarantee against tbo pcer; in tbe case of tbe Con federacy they roust show a warrant for their power. There is no article la tbe Constitution of tbe Confederate States which authorises them to set up an inquisition, or to proceed other wise tban according to tbe laws of the land. In fact, the best.nulhority for this proceeding is Hudson's treatise oa the Star Chamber, ia Second Collectanea Juridicia. It will be found that the method prescribed in this Con6scation Act is preritely tbat of tbe Star Chamber. Tbey call this a writ of garnishment. Mr. Hudson calls it a subptrna. This calls upon sue to disclose all tbe cases, in my knowledge, of property held by an alien enemy. Mr Hudson's requires the party to appear before tbe Star Chamber and answer nil ques tions tbat shall bo put to him. These are alike in beiu general. There is no plaintiff. It is a general inquisition. So when the writ is returned. Mr. Attorney's writ propounds certain questions to be answered, and requires tbe party to answer every other question tbat may be asked. So it was in the Star Cham ber. Certain interrogatories were put, and then a personal examination was bad, con sisting sometimes of from fitly to two hun dred questions. This writ is unknown to the common law. How does the Confederate States get tbe right to issue the writ? It is not only not knowa to the common law, but it is condemned by common right, and con nected with the most odious usurpation of power and tyraony. If this proceeding is sustained, Mr. Hudson's will become a valuble book of practice. If no such power bas been granted, how can such a thing be legal? The Confederate Government can appeal to no warrant for this proceeding, eicept tbe war making power. It will be said that tbe power of makioir war fs granted, and iKat ronfisea- fSrwar4X 1 J- Ww. -t-l tbe priuciple is tbe incident Itiat roaj oe admitted. What is incident to cases of tbe war power tbe grant of the war power covers. But does the war power require tbe creation of a Star Chamber to worry and barrass our people? These interrogatories are not for tbe enemies of the country, but for friends and citisens of the country; tbore who bave the right to stand upon the Magna Charta, upon the Constitution of tbe Slate; those who have sever done anything to forfeit their rlirht. Where is the authority given? Where is the power to call upon tbe citixen in a new and unheard or manner, to answer questions upon oatb for the purpose of enforcing tbe confiscation law ? Shall it be said tbat it is to furnish the means for carrying on tbe war ? How can that be said to be, what is absolutely never known to bave been dode before? Have wars never beea made before ? Was there any body tbat ever fought before General Beauregard? War, unfortunately, is not a new thing. Its history ie found on every page. Was there evera law like this endured practiced or heard or? It certainly is not found among the people from whom we derive the common law. No bnglisu aionarcn or Parliament bas ever sanctioned or undertaken such a thing. It is utterly ine onsistent with the common law to require au inquisitorial examination of tbe subjects or tbe laws or war. It il no more a part or tbe law or war tbxn it is a part of tbe law of peace. Tbo war making power do?o not include tbe power of compelling innocent people to answer interrogatories in promotion of eon. 1 scaiioa. Tbat tbe power Is exercised for a good and laudable purpose Is no answers Good ends must be attained by lawful means. AU tbat can be said la favor of the cod aud object proposed, can be said ia fWvot or the Star Chamber aad the Bpanlsh Inquisition. TorquemadB set on the latter institution from tbe best motives.' It was to save men's souls. He labored most earnestly in season and out of season, and when high necessity commanded, be burnt their bodies to save tbeir souls. He burnt tbe bodies of tbe Jews and PrdtesUutx.' We do not consider tbat. tbo end justifies the men as in these days, but Tormequad might have burnt Jews and Protestants with out calling upon tbeir best friends to Inform stralnst them and making it penal not to do so. JIs referred to and derived bis construc tion from the Sacred Word, And It Is not to be deaUd tbat bo was JastiSsd la referring to tbo Sacred Word, so far as bo proved that true faith is essential to salvation, and start. log from these premises, be could argue with treat effect, that any means were lawful wklcb would tend to aa end so good.' It is oftea pretended tbat the war-power includes the oower ef interrogating every man (a tbo community ia aid of confiscation. Tbo war power Includes at aa incident ev err thing tbat Is seceisasy or usuaL It eaa not be pretesded-tbat tbl it necessary or vital Jslaco ilt eYtr was float before. Tblt it not tbo first war tbat over was waged, f;d tbi la wi of war wo not tb tubject of wild ipecalstioa. Now, the meant granted to attain thli end are based opoo tht suppo sition tbat the end deierret all eommeiidatloa, tbat nothing In the world if more calculated to advance tbo repute of tbo couetsy, thaa to be keen In searching out the property of ene mies aud proceeding against them when tbey bave no opportunity of being beard, and to impoverish them by taking away tbo earnings of their Industry and applying it to other uses. Grant that It it desirable, It it to bo attained by unlawful means? Let tbo con fiscation law proceed with fall rigor, but why call upon me to giro aa oplaioa concerning confiscated property, anymore than any crime committed that-, know tf. It would be the most intolerable hardship for one for a eltiisn t every quarter ses sion to be obliged to tell all be knows or suspects against bis neighbor. It It pretended that this is aa innocent proceeding. How can it be innocent Which calls vpoa one to' commit a breach of trust? To break faith with a friend is aot only disreputable ia a trustee, but base. How can that be consid ered innocent which compels a man to do w-bat will make him despised by all honorable men? But If the case of a trustee eatls for relief, how much more tbe case of at attor ney or person charged with professional confidence? Tbe law protects erery man (a keeping si lent when tbe question is asked tbat Involve professional confidence. There can be no greater oppression than to compel a person ta violate a moral or legal duty. Something should be said about the objects of this, for there is a very commoa error ia supposing that it applies to the estates or aativecitixeas who are living abroad ia aa enemy's country. Tbe term alien enemy is the only one used. In tbe Act. It is a definite technical con struction. Ao alien enemy must be bora out of tbe legiance of the sovereign. There can be no diapute about it. He ia not aa alien if be was born within the domains of tbe sov ereign. A sovereign has a right to require bis retard. He may call on him to come home. What it is io the sovereign's power to do and what be may lawfully do with bis subject when he refuses to return, is another matter. 'But until be bas blen called oa by his sovereign to return, a man commits ao breach of duty living in an enemy's eountry, according to law. It is impossible tbat the makers of the law should not bave been aware of this, and they seem to bave pur posely left this open for the interposition of humanity. Mr. Petigrn denied tbat there was any pre cedent for this law, and freemen could not be compelled to aid this confiscating law by in forming again-t both bis friends aad enemies. It was this which cauaed those braremea who not only shook tbe pillar of monarchy to its base and abolished tbe Star Chamber, but did it with tbe declaration that notuch thing should be tolerxt d again. Are wo going, la' tbo hejday of our youth, to set aa example which has been repudiated by every lover of freedom from the beginning of time to this dsyjjrhUb Jias sever found au ,adrocatet of the private citlien? Mr. Petigru dwelt for some time oa tbo hardships and iojustice to compel a trustee to betray bis trusts, to turu State's eridence against his bosom friends. Is it necessary not only that the act of cruelty should be done, but that a friend to tbe parties should be made to take a part in tbe sacrificial act 7 He admitted the common law does not spare tbe trustee ; tbat he is bound to give evidence in Court to show what property bo bas in trust if it is claimed by one wbo claims or asserts a better title to It. But tbis calls npon every attorney to betray bit elient, and make an exposure or teas wmcn leuos to ruin t.o man who has placed entire confi dence in bis attorney. It is an extraordinary stretch of power in an extraordinary time, aa when we are endeavoring to mate gooa Be fore the world oar right to its respect as aa enlightened people ; a people capable of self- government, and or governing tbemseives IB a manner worthy of tbe civilisation and of the light or tbe age ; and tbis Act, borrowed from tbe darkest period of tyranny, Is dng up from tbe very quarters of despotism and and put forward as our sentiments. Tbey are not my sentiments, and sorry will I be, if, in this sentiment, I am solitary and alone. Mr. Petlgra contended that ao definition had been riven or tbe alien. It is obvious tbat, in tbis respect, tbe law is lame and does aot, even if aided by all tbo terrors of the inquisition, affect those wbo are natives. He could not account for tbis except upoa the supposition tbat those who drew the law did not wish It to be operative farther tban s a r.fw Uan, and left, a loop-bole for escap v It Is a wide door a back door, but it is a wide entrance into the balls of justice. So far as he was personally concerned with tbis writ, be could answer every one of the questions in the negative. With regard to tbat which requires the violation of profes sional confidence he must be betterinstructed before makiog up his mind to the order of confiscating or bot. There are cases when it is dishonor or death, aad death will certainly be cbosed by every man wbo deserves the same. Mr. Miles, the District Attorney, moved tbat Mr. Petigrn rnakt? a return to tbo Court or Garnishment in which tbe question elated by him should be raised. That if tbo first duty which devolvrd apoa bis Bonor si ace he bad pot on bis robes and opened tbe first term of tbe Confederate Court ta South Car oliott, was to listen to an Invective against tbo Government whose commission bo bore j that, at least, so math respect night be paid to the mandate ef tbo Court, which issued with the saaotioa of bit Hoaor'8 tame, tbat a formal rtttra etigbt bo nadt to it, aad tbo points madi by tbo reipoadeat, which aot only tbo coBstliatloaxlityof tbo law pasted by the Congress of tbo Confederate Bute, bat the very autborlty of tbat CoagftM Itself, ni tbo validity of tbe Gororameat wkkb it rep resents are drawa ia qaottioa, any be, at least, tot down Tor aruneut, aad aot bo oj lowed to bo treated only with tamtlva. . lit further itAted tbt be 111 aot tblak it proper for bias At this Hoe to comment apoa tbo reoarkt wbUb bed fallen from tbo res pondent. Tbat evett If It were proper for bio BOW to say any .bieg is vindicatioa of t&e law of tbe Confederals Suits, which had beea to vehemently arraigned, it super fluous for him to do so after the full aad well considered observations jast made by his Honor apoa the. law ia bit charge to tbe Grand Jory. - - Ho tafght bt pardoied, however, If ia pass ing, be called the attention of the audience, for whose benefit tbe remarks of tbe respond eat teetaed to bare beea made, to the singular position which tbe tmlnett respondent, to day, for tbe first time, occupied. . Tbat It was aot strange that one wbo bad so often distinguished blflmlf by tbe undaun ted boldness with which be threw himself ia opposition t tbo velgbt , of pabtie opinion, should bo tbo one who bow. Invoked the aid of tbe Court to protect those whom the law of Congress designates as alien enemies, but whom bo ftilt prides himself oa tailing "fellow-countrymen," from tbo . tyranny of a Gov ernment whick attempts to tuake their prop erty subject to rules ol war. Tbis was con sistent with bis past position. But it was certainly a remarkable metamorphosis, that tbe eminent jurist who bad stod fearlessly aad almost alone ia bis opposition to the political sentiments or the State, should now invoke the strictest and sternest contraction of State Rights that bad ever beea contended for erea ia South Carolina, la opposition to the power of tbe Confederate Government to pass a law in relation to a sabject-matter ex pressly intrusted to Congress by tbe Consti tution. . It io true tbat tbe professioa of submission to tbe authority of tbe State in tbis matter was accompanied by tbe explanation tbat sucb sobmisshn would be given only beeaase there eould be no successful resistance to the tyranny. But erea with this qualification the acknowledgment of the authority of the Slate was remarkable from such a quarter. Ia conclusion, he submitted that the occur rences of to-day ought to b a complete an swer to all charges which might be brought against us ia South Carolina of intolerance, of opposition to tbe public sentiment, and to freedom of thought and speech, against the constituted authorities, and tbo laws of tbe land. On tbe return of tbe writ, be boped to be able to meet tbe arguments which might be addueed against tbo constitutionality, the ex pediency aad tbo authority of the law of Coogress weicb wee drawn ia question. Tbe Jndge said be had listened with pa tience to the arguments addressed to tbe Court, but neither of the gentlemen had made a point which rendered it necessary, in the judgment of tbe Court, to decide upon. It would bo proper for Mr. Petigrn to make his motion to dismiss tbis paper or writ, thea a day could be set for tbe bearing of that mo tion and notice might be givea to the District Attorney. . - bj.
