We had do in lection In our reference to ihe Oorernor'a prh to d him inj injustice, nor bad we the lightet thought heu we penned thetn tbU they woulJ "effect the recruiting errice of the Sute," as the Journal charge There hare been aimilar threat' made against the opponent of the prty in power from rarioua aource for entertaining conacientioualy the opinion that the policy pursued by the Ad. ministration on the conduct of the war win uuwfre and ruinout, and the reiteration of auch aenti meat from q high an oflkitl source a the Got ertor of the Slate deferred not only consideration, but censure. It therefore gire u pleasure to alaf that the "nober aerond thought" of Iii EtceUeticy, aa his official orgau announces, repudiate them. The Journal, however, admit. that the Governor did ef "lint thote who opjiori the wir an I attempted to we.iken the power of th tloeernment were in preat d.mer of being biuirhf 1 by public opinion, at ere the torie of the rero!utioii. Thij he aaid would i.ot be done h? law or Ugtl authority, but by public opinion." Tbl i the modified form in which the Governor now threaten "b;it)ihmtf)l" to those "who may differ in opinion with him and hi jolitical friemla iu regard to the meaaure to be adopted by the administrators of the government for the overthrow of the rebellion and the restoration of the Union. Mr. Lincoln, a a Kepreaentatire in Ongre.M, denounced the war with Mexico and gv at leat moral encouragement to the enemy when our army was fighting upon a . foreign noil, and po did Thoma Coawpr, then rrnreeet.tiitj Ohio in the United State SfD.te, and although they "opposed the wnr and attempt ed to weaken the power of the government," the were rut "banitdied by rjiiMic opinion" but instead one ia now the President of that govern merit and the other hold the high position of Minister Eatrtordinarr to Mexico. So then that ronaciciitioiH or even p:rtizin opposition to a wnr are not always followed by "outlawry." The Journal does not refer, however, to the rebuke lb it the Governor administered to the -irnmeme and enthuustic" meeting which he addressed, for the apathy they manifested in the prosecution of the war. He charged that the prosperity of tho country had caused an indifference whit h wja any tiling but creditable to the p.trioti.m of the people. Why thia apathy unlsa the greed of gtin ! the ruling passion, itronger than the love of country? And the remit showed that the Governor correctly estimated the crowd he nddrced. It was enthusiastic in applause of every expression in Uvor of a tigoroua prosecution of ihe war, but the good book telle us thtt faith without works is deid. and we very much leur that the noiry p trio lis in ex1 iliilel on ih it occiion was like the sounding bra.s and tinkling cymbals. In fict we miy say that there U no earnest de!reth it t!ie war should end on the prt of thoe who are ni iking money out of it, and thoy will he in favor of it. prosecution o long as it puts money in their purses. Th Governor said in hi speech "thit the uvo nues to position and honor run through the ar my," as well as wealth. When mich motives are held out to the country to f.iror the policy of the jkirty iu poer, is it surprising that there should be "apathy iu the public min 1," and a willingness tint the avenues described by Governor Mokiu.s to position, honor and wealth should re mi in open indefinitely? The Ihre year' prof-e-rutio:i of the war, when such motives operate ipon the public mirtd, has rnvle it nlniost a noessity, if nt to the countrv it is evidently ot!ioe who h.ivvtherontroi of the Government, i a means of perpetmthig wer in their hand r a n: i tit .'ix.

To this question we conceive that there can te but ore answer giren by anj jurt-t r publicist who understands the system which governs the rights of sovereigns and subjects, and who has the slight et regard for the moral laws on which that system 1 founded. We take it to be an in disputable principle of the modern Isw of nations that a sovereign who has occasion t assume a belligerent attitude toward a portion of his own dominions, (or the recovery of hit legitimate authority, is restricted to the restoration of that authority as the result of his exercie of belligerent right. If his own sovereignty is one of a limited character, while he may exercise all the ordinary rights of a belligerent during the progress of hostilities in order to restore hie rightful authority, he cannot at the end of those hostilities legitimately compel the revolted province to suhinit to an unlimited sovereignty of his dictation. His military con-que.-ta differ in this re.pert from those of a sovereign who wages war against a foreign country. The latter baa the tight to acquire, as a legal consequence of his virtory and possessions, the political allegi mcc of the inhabitants of the con quered territory, and may imposft such govern nunt as he pleases, ntvini, however, the rights of private property. The former fights for the tecovery of rights that have been withheld from him; but he cannot sujerad I to these any righu which he did not before po.ess. Nations, in other words, do not "conquer" their own domin ioiis, in the full I'di'-e and with all the consequences of "conquest," when they have occa sion to repress unlawful or rebellious combinations apain.t the sovereign , power, any more than they "conquer" individuals whom they p'ini-h by force, through the action of their pub lie tribunals, for violations of law. They msy uc belligerent rights w hile the civil war is going on, but they do not merge their eovereign rights or their sovereign character in the belligerent opacity, but their sovereign character remains ju-l what it was, no more und no less, when the contest is ended and tho heiligeren c.tpicitjr no looter required. From the principle w hich rendered it necessary to terminate a civil war by ho amnesty, when the soveieign has prevailed so far a.s to compel the insurgents to sue for one, it follows that he cannot demand more than a submission o his lawful authority, as it existed when the civil war began. He cannot mike it a condition of terminating hostilities on his own part th t his rebellious sub j ex-is shall, as a body or community, forfeit all their political rights and submit to "him as a foreign conqueror, for this would be the exact oppo site of an amuesty. When they are ready to lay down their arms and to submit to his lawful authority, he Is bound to grant au amnesty, with such exceptions as to individuals ns he may s e fit to make one of its conditions. He is bound to graut it, because the amnesty is granted in his ow n interest because it becomes the means of restoring aud pieserving his authority; and be cause the limits of that authority are the limits of what he may rightfully exact. There is also a further principle in reference to tho termination of a civil war by an aranestv, which is not to be overlooked. An amnesty tig nifies a complete oblivion of past offenses, and sets aside all the legal consequences of rebellion. It may be granted by the successful sovereign, of his own motion, or it may be stipulated for by the insurgents, as a condition of their submission. When the latter u the cjs, the sovereigu is bound by his agreement; for although there have rcen instances in former times iu which such agtcemcnts have been disregarded by sovereigns, and the principle has been proclaimed and note: 1 u;mi, that compacts between sovereigns and rebel subjects are void or voidable, it b is been well mid by an eminent foreign writer tli.it "in the pre-ent day no civilized government woul.Jiliie to profess ach a principle." In the - imc way it follows from the nature of a civil w ir, stub ns tint in which we are engaged, that the party claiming sovereignty over the o.her party to the war cannot convert that war into a foreign war. n l pro-ee l to nuke territorial C'nqiie-ts a of tho territory of a foreign n ition, without admitting that other ptrtv to be, in law as well as in fact, an independent belligerent power. Military occupation of porticos or of the whole of the iiisnrgc.it country may be necessary in a civil war; bnt like all the, other incidents oV the belligerent rh tracter ns-uime J bv the sovereign lurtbe purpose of compelling submission to his authority, tins kind of occupation has a spevi al and limited, and a general and unlimited pur po-e. It is not tertitori.il conquest, drawing after it nil the consequences which ntrach to tho 0vupit:ofi and p ts-ession of portion of an enemy's country in a foreign w ar In order to make those consequence attach to military occupation, t is necessary not only to continue the belliger etit character, but to "lay aide the pretentions anddaima of constitutional sovereignty, and to put on the c'larsi-ter of h belligerent waging a foreign instead of" a civil w ar; for there is a broad distinction lctween the belligere nt ch trader assumed by a sovereign Hgii;t Ins inurien sub jeds, and the belligerent diameter assumed by a sovereign in a w,.r with another soveieign. In the latter character, as w e h ive seen, territorial conquests cau be made; iu the former thev cannot be Are tly people of the Unite i States, then, pre pared to admit that the people of the acceded Slate are foreign nations?

It is betend doubt that we . , . . , r . . t r..:are indexed for the ru.u interference of fore.gn powers in this civil war mainlv to the fact that we ...... have contar;lly prolee! in our diplomacy to be fighting fortheiecoery of our ju.t constitutional , ... i, , :..u.. rights, and for nothing more. If we imagine that fear of our prowesa has been Ihe cause of that i.eufral .attitude, we shall thlter our oti Tanity at the expense of our discernment. The world at large may have leen more or less willing to have the Federal Uoyernment recover its riphtlul and constitutional mpremacy over the people of tho Southern States. Rut it will be 1 together another question with foreign powers whether whole classes of the btates or this Union are to be held by us as dependent fiefs, with no voice in the council that are to shape our legislation or to govern our foretgu policy. When we take uch an attitude as that, eveu th gho4 of what Mr. Seward has still left to us of the so called "Monroe Doctrine" will vanish into thin air. If, then, it be true that the public law would oblige us to hbf'ain from demanding that the Federal sovereignty over tho.e States shall extend to anythitic over which it did nut extend before the war, let us inquire whether we shall not be bound by that obligation. Passing by the question w hc'ther0iher nation would have a riiht interfere and considering .his as a purely domestic matter, it may he conceded thit no external forte will be applied to nuke us respect the requirements of the law of nations in this regard Rut are those tequireiuents then without other sanctions, which will ut control our mere will-? Clearly they me not; for wc roust look forward to' a time when our own tiibunal will be c.bligel to pass upon the fundameutsl questions nrising oua. of ny attempt to exercise powers not embraced in the Constitution, und supposed to result from territorial conqu-M; and we must net Uio:i principles now, that can be carried into effect by an enlight rued and independent judiclar hereafter. We a-sume that we shall so act; because we do not believe the people of this country are so lost to all seu-e of right and all perception of the highest public and sociil expediency, to their own standing among nations and to the good opinion of mankind, as to wish to make their judiciary the more subservient registrars of the popular will, or to require of thir judges to sanction a pirticular act merely because it has emanated from tho executive or legislative branches of thetr government. When the public understand this subject, and have freed their minds frmn the con fusion r rod need by false views of what is calld "war," they may be expected to act tfghtly. What then will be the view which the instructed judicial mind must take hereafter of the position tii it the Southern States have been conquered at St itrt, and that they are, or were for any period ol time, 'ti the condition of conquered countries? It w ill be seen that this claim is without any foundation in any system that belongs to the public law of modern times. Whatever consequences attach, in individual cases, to the rightful exercise of belligerent rights w hile the sovereign w.a obliged to resort to the exercise of such powers, as soon as the necessity cease, the exercise of those powers must cease, and the power of the sovereign 10 effect the civil rights of men, cither individually or collectively, musibe measured by the municipal law which define and reulates his powers as u sovereign. There is no other privilege that can be applied to the successful auppteissiou of au Insurrection, or to the recovery of municipal jurisdiction over a portion of territory that has been wrestel for a time from the supremacy of municipal law, ur,lesit be ad mitted that the covernment of a nation can conquer a part of its own dominions, und can affect foreign nations and its own people with all ihe con.-equences of conquest, ju?t as if the territory were p irt of another nation. This can never be admitted in the case of a civil war, because such a war is waed for the recovery of a uuspeuded authority, not, as iu the case of foreign wars, for the acquisition of an authority th it has not previously existed. These principles apply with peculiar frirce to the fxditical system known ns tho government of the United States The domestic sovereignty that leside.s in that government is very far from being a geiiom! anil unlimited sover?icnty. It consists in a supreme right to make laws upon certain subjects, w hich phall bind the inhabitants of eich State. Where there are no obstructions in imv State to the executions of tho laws of the United States within its limits, all the supremacy which rightfully belongs to tho United States is completely enjoyed. Where any existing obstrud:ons to the operation of the laws of the United States in any State hive bon removed, thu United S-ates hive recovered all iheir sovereign rights There has never been any justification for matching an army into any Southern State, excepting to recover that of which the United States have been deprived by an insurgent force When the United S'.ttcs live fully re possessed themselves ol" whtt they have been forcibly deprived for a time, they have recovered all for which they had any occasion or right to take up arms; and one of the obvious means by which thev cm finally obtain what they have sought is by n am ne-ty, whtai one is sought tor by the insurgents, or when the United States are in a condition to ofl'er one. We luvu thus placed before mir readors we hope that wo have done it clearly and disp.is sion ttely some of the consequences that w ;ll mar.ite-tiy tlow from the adoption of a theory which will create another Poland or something eren worse on this continent of Noith America. Wo hall endeavor to trace these consequences further in our next isue New York World. A (! riant mahle Speer Ii by Itohrrt Tontiifo Depreciation of the Itrbcl rurrcuc)'. The Atlanta (Cia.)

Hut the war enlarged I dimensions. Our enemy, after pulling iS.OOO men into the field, wenton increicing their army, until they had accumulated an army to fight agtint us which neither we nor they, nor any human being, ever dreamed would be called out. Column after column, and army after army of this mighty host did we roll back, uinil Lo.iu the madness of his lust for dominion, with the en at his command, levied troops from tvery part of the world to bring against us. in order to take from us the magnificent land which the Creator had given u. Still our troops did not falter. We needed more money to meet these great events, which we nt-cd by an cssy but un safe mode. The great error we committed was this: As soon as we issued an amount of money

adequate to the wants of commerce, we ÜJ not slop; we went on increasinjr the amount to $150,(M)i) (HKj, 4W.üun.(K0, f00.MK),0(JO, and the result wss inevitable. The tleprt Ha tion from the first of March last to the first of July baa ben at the rate of fire per cent, per day. It sreracl to be overlooked that while you increase the issues of the trovernment, vou in the same proportion depreciate the valueof the currency. It cinnot be otherwise; it is governed by a law a law that no human legislation can control. We must reform, and commence bv increasing the value of a dollar to that at which the law Mies it, teventeen pennyweights and eight grains of silver, and not let it remain at what it is now woitb about a grain and a half of silver to the dollar. If a debt is incurred by the government it will be among ourselves, for no other poople, I believe, will take our credits, and the people must be taxed to the amount it may be found necessary to redeem it. Our government his already called for the tcrvice, in the field, of the abl-bodied males between the ages of eighteen and forty-five, and may call out all other ablebodied men when necessary. Why may it not jut as well ea'.l for money to eny considerable eitcnt, of those who hive been permitted to stay at home and make money? Money i juntas necessary for the pioecution of war as soldiers, and ihe renuik of one of the greatest of modera warriors, Louis XIV., is nut far from the trutb, that when two n itions go to war, the one will conquer which has the Lit dollar in the treasury. 1 put it to every honest man who has stnid at home, if he is not as much boun.fo aid the Government with the money which he h.as made during the war as nry soldier is to tiefend it with his blood? The man in the army gives all his time, which may be all his capital, to defend the lives, liberties and property of himelf und h's countrymen Shall you not give all your acquisitions, at least during the war, for the same purpo.-e? I think so. Look yc to it. Revolutions go to tho bottom of things. Tliet lllclimontl I'rca on the Ifattlc). From our southern tiles from the 23d ult to the 30th we make tho following extracts. The journals contain little news, but derive their interest from the editorial comment upon the recent battles. DirtAT OK BllAGQ. TFroia the Richmond WLig. The meagre details that reach us from Gen. Bragg in no degree lessen the magnitude assigned to his tiUaster by public opinion on the reception of the tiit?t news ot the reverse. The loss of five thousand prisoners is a painful addendum to the loss of the field Other particulars furniahed conqxjl un to think Ilia, the defeat was little short of a rout, aud it is probably due to the failure of the enemy to pursue, that it lärks any feature of that most terrible calamity that can befall nn iirmy. It is far from pleasant to havo to confess thit the largest army we have owes its safety to the want of enterprise in the enemy; but in this cae wc may do so without disparaging the con." age that has hten displayed on Jo many fields to be doubted. A more fatal want than that of courage want of confidence in their command-! er uuuerved und paralyzed that army. An array of cowards, well disciplined and trusting in their leader, may fight well; but an army of brave men. feeling that they are iu the hands of an incompetent commander, will fight badly. This truth his long since formed itself into the adage that "an army of asses led by a lion is better lhan an army of lions led by an ass." Hut ihe safety of the rcmnaut of Hragg'a army is only temporary, unless the corninmd is imine diately changed and reinforcement are teul to its relief. The leist avoidable delay in the first of these steps is a criminal trifling with interests as important as were ever committed to the keep ing of mortal man. If we are not misled bv information that no one would be apt to discredit, the army now under Ucn. Bragg, discontented ni most to mutiny before ihe late disaster, cannot be kept together under his leadership. It is a matter about which the commander iu chief can not now be considered as having any discretion. Circumstances more imperative even than the voice of the pcoplo demand a change. Fortunately the service affords more than one man so situated at present as to be available for this duty, whose transfer the country and the army will hail with delight. It is unnecessary to name thefii. We think it necessary only to remark that the value of any effort to retrieve the calamity that has resulted from General Hragg's incompetency w ill depend mainly upon the promptness wiili which it is made. "Tin crisis is t rox vs." Prom the lVterbari Exprsas.l General Hragg'a official dispatch, says the Augusta Constitutionalist, convey s the unwelcome tidings that the enemy, after several uriucce-slul attempts, carried his left centre, and that his whole left gave way in considerable disorder, and that he is withdrawing to Chickamaugi. The cris s is uMn us, and the people of Georgia musi arouse themselves to the stern requirement of the occasion, ntid be piepared to meet the overwhelming forces of the invader by contesting every inch of our soil, and defending our hetrthstoncs from the polluting presence of ihe ccurced crew who are now endeivoring to deprive us of our birthright, and force uon our people a government more odious and degrading man the wosst species of African bond ige.
