MODIFICATIONS OK TUF. STAY LAW. To .hh* (} Jiu'k*rfotrrd, K«] , Chvrntn of the Judi ciary Commitli* rf ih; II.me rf f) I, yolti: Drir Sir:—1 suppers it is a foregone conclusion In coutiuue the stay Uw in noon form during the pendency of hostilities between (he Confederate Staled aud the Duited State*. Il is eminently ti: that there should he a measure of tho sort for the re'icf of those who are t'» actual service, and I should rep ret its to‘a! repeal ou that account. Rut It seems to me, it is tqjally unfit that any others should be embraced within it* protection. Messrs. A, B and C, who bare not gone from their homes, who are as busily engaged as ever in miking moucy by m:r ehandixe or farming, or any of the thousand employ ments at which money is how being rtpidly made, bave no suf8:ient reason to offer for exemption from tbeir present liabilities. Their families have not been left dee titutc—tbeir usual resourced are not cut eff— they are as capable new of providing to meet ail tbeir engage ments rs at any period prior to ths commencement of hostilities—and al! the ordinary reasons urged in favor cf exempting the soldier from tho pres-sure of debt may properly be urged oyaintt exempting those who are cot soldiers from the burden of their ongtgeatots. I should like to sec a mcd'fication of (he stay l»w which would g»to this extent; and if thtre were any hope of securing such a modulation, I should enter into a more minute -p-t'fira'ion of the advantages attending the change.— I believe the advantages of such a change, would reach every class of tho community. The purpose of my present letter, however, is to ci’l your attention to a lew modifications of the Uw which surely no right mhided person cau o'j ct to. Rants ukiixr trust ntttts. No sales can be tutde uudir the pres ut stay Uw with out the consent of all parties, grantor, trustee and beue tic ttrics. Iu some Cises this rule operates harshly and unjustly upon every cue save the debtor. Take for <simple this: A debtor makes a gei.eial assignment, wi h a covenant of rela'e on the pirtef the e editors who sign his deed. Hs rotates p >-ses-iou of the property until a pyle is made. All ths creditors ate anxious the propci ty shell b« sold. 1 is confessedly in sufficient fo supply eren tho h»lf of their claims. T e debtor has f»-iil»ely no interest in the pries the property ■ill brb g, for whether a great fire* or » small one, he is equally released by the covenant from respousibilty to tlie creditor*. Is it cot monstrous that iu a case like this, the (tobtor ehouU b: enabled by his timpls tefu .1 of assent, to postpone the sib of the property to the clo-e of tliewsr? Tata is, surely,one of the instance* iu which the present stay law should be mod li d. Another ta*e occur* •hire ihe debtor rein tin* at home in the quiet ft joyn.ent ot land purchased from an other without payit g fjr it, or, where tho purchase mo n*y haw beeu advunotd hint by a friend on the failt ol it and be rcfuses to piy in'rreit ou tin* porcha*.* money iu the one c .** or 01 the advance iu the other. Another cose will bo found where the owner of laud h i* sreu ed a > accjmoditli’ii endor er by a deed of trust *u the v nperty be now live# r it. The icgotiwUs uote .ell-' due and the drawer (owuer) allows i. to remain un rald. Tho endorser, lo protect his credit, pays it; ami hn must await the ph astir* of the drawer before he cau reimburse himself from the property pledged a* *tc'irity. In all these cases there should b j a tight to sell at !h diMretiou nf the trustee certainly,if not upon the demand of the beneficiary. At: amendment couched iu language somewhat as follows would 1 sij pi \ < licetthu*chang es, if approved of. fialta aider trust dttdi iha'.l nit be mud* w-fkem' tke row»«»f of all fiirt’tt intern led Ms* in ike following cater. l»t, i»A*u the trail deed it a gemral atiignenin' •odcontaiui a coeanon'. of re sue. tnd, vken Ike trust de‘d hue been tree atm to tie are tke purckara winy vj hi iand l ounged, or to neuri a loan me le fur ike pur port of paging suA pare hail m may and Ike debtor ei grantor failt to piy ike ml emit on sueA purr A is* mo ney or amount loaned; and I!/d, when Ike trail deed hie been trtea'ei ta eecurt an ae/ommodatim <ntlwrer. hi the corf ju<t abnit ertep'ed, toll may he mode ithtntnr fetotrs* ikall drain it adnitabla to make ra'e. To **oid q tesliou as to where each cates open* the rr'Wjot of th* pirtics beoefiokric* In th* deed or of some one of them might be required— such affidavit to be a sulUc’eut warrant for the Action of the trustee. The stay law fin piAsed hurriedly, in the midst of the unusual excitement consequent on the scc'ssion of the .Stit*. It was not to ba eipccted tbit the work would the provision for Its continuance only for a limited time, with I beity to the Lcgitlalure to modify and e>. tend It. It was thought that g.;1** wou'd bn dimBtrnn", made at such a time as tbb, while the whole na'ian was stirred to its depths by a civil war. B it the event has not ver ified this frrebodti'g. Red proper'y here commands as high a price as ever, and individuals who are controlling their propeny, unencumbered, are making dilly silej at satisfactory prices. Surely, creditors ought to be per mitted to obtain the payment of their d. bis, contracted under the circumstance! before Indicated. SUITS OS TOE DOCKET. There seems to be do sufficient reason for delaying the trinl of actions already insti nird. Let the Ccurto clear tb«ir dockets, as far os they can, of pending suits, and when the war i" over thoj m iy start afresh—may begin tbeir work with new zed, unencumbered by the mass of In ary, litigv’ed buuiifr-a, which now bestrides aud op presses them. There are mwy such ac'i'ns at law nttv pending on the present doc ket of the Rohmoud Circuit Court, which mirbl bn tried and disposed of now, to the advantage of all parties. Of course, if witm-*ics or ptrtics are absent, in actual servio*, this would bv sufficient reason for a continu ance; and the Court" wo ill hi Inclined to indulgence in thbre. p’o*. No other serious difficulty would embar rass or burden the trial The pro7Minin of ths present stay law, ia eifjc’, amount to a p>rpetusl iij motion ou the protruding" of the Common L\w Courts. Ps.r'Ifs who have sufficiently tho spirit of coucil ation and c.uu promise, very rar ly outer itro li.ivitiou. If they do uot consent before they reach the Oenr", they are not i apt to eonsert to anything afterwards. Lit the trial be I dependent up-.n ernimt, as now, an 1 tho trial is inevit ably postponed. Courts, witnicaea, oou'i-ci, end pirties I ho univwrraUy regard ir. LisoLoan situ T as Airy. j There is no alas! upon whom tho present stay law I operates more harshly than upon the “landloid'' class.

They moat sufftr the penalty of wrong doing. Landlords will be chary of renting to doubtful tenants. Tenants to secure houses to live in must com recommended by ample fortunes or undoubted security. Thus the large claw of tenants, who now make their living by their daily toil, will find it hard to get homes ; and, if they do get them, they must do so by paying a b'jfiut to mike up the deficiencies occasioned by thr neglect and ill desert of others.

Wo received intcl igrncc tho day before we left Fairfax, that tbn enemy wonld march upon us on Wednesday, 160,000(!) strong, and, although wo bud a very small force, yet wo were very anxious to give them battle. But Gen. Binbsm ordered us to retreat to Bull i{ in, whioh was done i^good order. We arrived theie tho neat turning, and about 11 o’clock the enemy com it- need cannonading u?. Oar troopr prepared to give them fight, and the battle veiy ;.ooti commenced in good ;trtie»t. The rear of musketry and booming of cannon • *,!- h.’.ard from all sides.
