CONSPIRACY AGAINST CO N ST ITU TIO N A L L IB ­ERTY.

A letter from the Washingtoa correspoDdeDt of the Cincinnati Enquirer, which we copy, gives a view of the designs of the Rump at Washington against the public liberty. The letter is impor­tant both for its contents and for its source. Tt tells of the plans for the subversiion of free gov­ernment, and it discloses the fact that there are still some people at the North not di.sposed quietly to submit to the establishment of despotism.

That these plans existed, we have had no doubt for many months. The men in power at W ash­ington have set a ii Je and trampled under foot all the safe-guards of freedom. The Con.^titution was virtually abrogated when Lincoln assumed the power of waging war. All his acts since that step have been directed to the establishment of lui unrestrained tyranny. The Constitution ex­pressly declares that Congress alone should pos­sess the power of raising aud supporting armies. Congress at its last session emphatically refused either to raise an army, or appropriate money for its' suppopt Lincoln, in the face of this refusal and the express letter of the Constitution, has en­listed an army of more than a hundred thousand men, and seized upon all the means of the Gov­ernment for its equipment and support The (Convention which framed the Constitution refus­ed in express terms to authorize the common agent to make war upon the sovereign States of the Confederacy. This wretch has usurped the power, and is now using the common funds of all the kstates for the invasion and subjugation of a part. The Constitution stipulates that armed forces shall not be quartered upon the people, even in time of war, without authority of law; yet he has quartered his mercenaries upon the people of Maryland and Missouri, and is ravaging and lay'ing waste the soil of Virginia. Every citizen is guaranteed the privilege of bearing arms; he is deliberately disarming the people of two States, and striving to prevent all others from obtaining weapons for the protection of their homes and liberties. Freedom from arrest without authority of law— the great and distinguishing badge of a free people, he has annulled, and empowered and directed his supordiuate military officers to sus­pend the great writ of huhens corpus a.t their dis­cretion. To clinch the despotism thus establish­ed, he has taken it upon himself to change the oath to support the Const it ut ion into an oath of obedience to the Government—oi‘ which his Apeship is the chief.

Of course, if the outraged laws and Constitu­tion should ever recover their vigor a\id suprema­cy, these great offenders would be the first to feel the weight of their hands. \Ve were, therefore prepared to hear of schemes for the permanent prostration of the Constitution and the perpetual a.-ceniiancy of tyranny. To this end, the whole | system ol Confederated Sovereisrnties is to be | abolished— all State& Kights annihilated— the ' i'entral Power augmented and consolidated—and ' the Military Despotism rendered supreme and ab­solute over the whole land. This is the program- ; me revealed by the Cincinnati paper. The most vaunted free Government the world has ever seen subverted by a Charlatan and an Ape!

Nothing has .so much astonished the world as the apparently unanimous approval at the North of all of the usurpations of Lincoln. In a day, they ceased to possess any of the rights of a free people, and they raised one universal shout at their own degradation. That a whole people, supposed to be bred in a love of liberty, should, of a sudden, lose all sense of free Government, and in a blind fury for conquest or revenge, em­brace their own servitude, was a spectacle never before seen. We have something like it in the enraged moccasin striking his poisoned fangs into his own body; but, for rational, calculating human I beings, there is nothing to parallel it in history, j It was the resu lt of the s tu p o r and shock caused i by surprise. The condition is too unnatural and i anomalous to be la:!ting. When the first violence 1 of the storm shall pass away, reason and self in- j terest will resume their sway. For the time be- ing the military despotism crushes all freedom of , opiiiioa and action. Hut the throbs of freedom may be detected in the Cincinnati paper. There are men even in the despot-ridden region indulg­ing aspirations for their lost rights, fh e Rump Government at Washington and the dominant faction in the Yankee States of the East may combine for the suppression of all popular liberty and the establishment of a vigorous despotism; but the great States of the Northwest, prompted by interest, honor and liberty, can never be brought permanently under that degrading yoke. The significant ailusiou to the great struggle which the Democracy have to endure, and The

difficulties and dangers which environ them, in­spire the hope that the crisis is appreciated, and means are being employed to meet it.

Tiiursday last, the Hon. N. P. Banks, as he stood upon Arlington Heights , in company with diot inzuiahed military an 1 civil officers, said, as he w.ived hin han d toward W a«„ington: ,j, the end o f thU Oorernmentag Thtre will bf a reconrtrucltun on dif­ferent p n n ru .k s " Such is the univerMal impress ion here, and in« conviction weighs like che pall of death on every patr iotic hear t. The g rea t Republic is gone, and Its governnieat is fast loosing its anchorage in popu- iar liberty, anJ is d r i t t ing lo a despot ic ha rb o r as a safer retuge from the st 'jrrns of revolutioa .

T he great people, whose pursu i ts or whose oppor ­tunities do not allow them to see more th a t the surface currents , might as well be given to u n d e rs ta n d a t once the powerful undertone th a t is sw eeping from under theui their personal freedom, the r igh ts of the States and their Republican government. I tell them they are no longer Jreemen, in tha t large a n d comprehensive sen-!e we h.ive all understood wan conveyed an d e m ­braced by tha t word, when app l ied to the r igh ts a n d privileges of Amer ican cit izens. They will wake up ere long to the real iza t ion of the h o r r id t ru th , b u t when it is too late to recover what despotism shall have clutched in its iron hands. I write this as fact and prophecy.

I t has a l ready been asked: “ Why all these S ta te lines'' Why all th is needless, cumbersome, in tr icate e n ­tanglement of di tfe rent powers to make law and to de ­cree judgm ent? VVe can afford now to efface the old Colonial Geography, l i is the admit ted powers of S ta tes within the nation th a t has been the source of all our trouble. Nor will the removal of S ta te power, a n d the creation of a Nationali ty , be a task so formidal ’.e .”

The idea is to do away with S tate lines and State lo­cal governments , and consequently, with m u c h o f the elective f ranchise as now enjoyed by the people. In o ther words, the g rand conception is to make the Gov­e rnm en t o f the United Sla tes as n >ar tha t o f Great B r i t ­a in as it ig possible to get it. It is old Federal ism, with as tounding monarchical additions, revived, and u nde r very favorable auspices for ita success .’ You must not suppose th a t this th ing is not serious ly en te r ­tained, f o r it IS, and the conviction here is universal th a t the change is absolutely necesary, and will be made. A s t rong central government is now the cry; and army and navy olficers strongly favor it, because by the change they will become the upper crus t of society, t h e whole mat ter is openly discusged here and boldlv advocated \ ou will learn from t h i s th a t the dem ocra ­cy has before it the hardest batt le i t has yet fought in this country.

£ n q u i r e r says all Congress has to do is to reg is te r the wishes of the President. Indeed, these leading R e p u b ­lican Journals believe Congress will only be an incum ­brance , as the Pres ident , by assum ing a l l the power de­si rable for the ex igency of the country , will not be h a m ­pered by any legal rest r ic t ions. All Congress is wanted for is to allow the Governm ent to borrow w h a t money it may deem necessa ry , and to ra ise w h a t n um ber of troops may be regarded as des irable . It is also sa id that Congres.s will go into secret session to discuss the question of confer r ing full m il i ta ry power on the P re s i ­dent to rai.se and equip armies , dec la re mart ia l law, and suspend the writ o f habeas corjtus. As he has been do ing this without au th o r i ty of law, the question is g rave ­ly asked, what is the use of Congress?

The contempt in which the Suprem e C o u r t of the United Sta tes is held by the m i l i ta ry , a n d the u s u r p a ­tion of power by th is la t te r b ran ch of the public service and the violat ion of personal r igh ts and individual l i b ­erty, bor th North and South , a re refe rred to as an evi dence tha t R epub l ican freedom is dead, and only wants the fo rm ali ty of bur ia l to hide it forever from the face of the American people. So passes the glory of the American Republic .

Aff'airs in Mi»$ouri— Gov. Jackson calls f o r 50,000 M ilitia .— We have at length received a telegraphic abstract of the proclamation of Gov. Jackson, of Missouii. I t is to be devoutly hoped that this patriotic magistrate may succeed in re ­leasing his State from the tyranny which now crushes her:

‘‘A series of unlooked for and unparalleled in ­dignities have been inflicted upon General Price and the dignity of this Commonwealth, and upon the rights and liberties of its people, by wicked and unprincipled men, professing to act under the authority of the Federal Government. Solemn acts of your Legislature have been nullified; your volunteer soldiers have been arrested; commerce with sister States suppressed; trade with your own fellow citizens subject to the harrassing con­trol of armed soldiery: unoflFending and defenceless women and children ruthlessly shot down and murdered, and other unbearable indignities heap­ed upon your State and yourselves. To this you have submitted with patriotic forbearance, which has only encouraged more daring usurpations. My object has boon to preserve peace and avert war froui the border.

“ With that view, Gen. Price arranged with Gen. Harney. The State government faithfully adhered to the agreement; the Federal Govern­ment manifested its disappiobation by the dis­missal of Harney, and commenced proceedings utterly hostile to the agreement. Waiving the dignity of Missouri, I solicited an interview with Gen. Lyons, and made propositions more honor­able to the Federal Government than to Missouri, that if the Federalists would withdraw I would pledge to disband the militia, forbid the introduc­tion of arms, protect all citizens, regardless of theii>political opinion, repress all insurrections, and maintain strict neutrality, and if necessary to carry out these pledges would call for Federal assistance. Nothing but a desire to avert the horrors of civil war could have induced these humiliating propositions— these propositions were rejected.”

(Jov. Jackson calls for 50,000 militia to repel the invaders.

A later telegraphic dispatch informs us that the militia have a battery below the mouth of Osage river, aud that the Missourians are collect­ing at Jefferson City from all quarters. We may look for stirring news from Missouri ere long.

J y e o f M ilitary O arers .— The New Vor4c E x ­press states that the ages of the General officers in Lincoln’s army run as follows; Scott, aged 75; Wool, 73; Harney, tJo; Mansfield, tJO; Totten, head of the Engineer Corps, !^0; Thayer, Engin­eer, HO; Craig, head of the Ordnance Department, 70; Ripley, Ordnance, 70; Sumner, t>5; Lawson, Surgeon General, mO; Larned, Paymaster Gene­ral, 70; Gib.son, Commi.ssary (Jeneral, Churchill, luspector General, and Thomas, A djutant Gene­ral, are old men, having entered the a rm y in the beginning of the present century— Gibson in 180H, and Churchill in 1812.

On the other hand, remarks the Columbia Guardian, we find in the Army of the (Confede­rate States Davis, (?ommander-in-<^hief, a young man comparatively, and full of energy, vigor and fire; Beauregard, only between 4n and *>( t, in the full vigor of health; Lee, about 54 or 55; Bragg, active, vigorous and efficient, with others that might be named did we know their precise ages. In the ph3’si(jue of our officers, and in the mate­rial of their command, the Confederate J^ates have a decided advantage over the enemy. But above all these they have the higher advantage and the favor of the Almighty, in the fact that their cause is ju.st.

DecenJaUfa of *ifn. Green.— The Commander- in-(’hief of the Southern army in the Revolution has nuw three great-grandsons in the service of the South, two in Virginia and one in (Jeorgia, to which latter State they all belong. Gen. (ireen was one of the ablest Generals and true patriots of the times that tried men’s souls, and we are rejoiced to see that his gallant and gen ­erous blood still flows through worthy channels.

Gone a S- 'hlieriny .— Among the companies which arrived here Saturday, trom Mississippi, is one called the “ Brown Rebels,” commanded by (!apt. A. G. Brown, former Governor of Mis- si.'sippi, r . S. Senator, and for a long time R ep ­resentative in the lower House of Congress. Verily, the great and wise, big and little, old aud young, have enlisted in the warfare against Old Abe.— Ijynch. liepubltcun.

A l lh jh 1‘ricate.— Hon. Wm. A. Forward, Associate Ju stice of the Supreme Court of Flori­da, has enlisted as a private in the ranks of a Company recently organized in J^utnam county.

Archbishop Iluyhes ayainst the War.— This distinguished Catholic Prelate has published a strong protest against the war policy of Jjincoln, and especially that which looks to inciting insur­rection aud the confiscation of estates of planters, and their bestowal as land bounties upon Northern soldiersi

Gen. Butler .— This blustering braggart made a speech in VV'^ashington not long since, iu which he said his face was turned toward the South, and he never took a step backwards. W e are very reliably informed that he made some alarm­ing strides in the direction of Old Point after the battle at Bethel Church .— Petenburg Express.

Another Foot-race on U aiid .— The Eleventh Indiana Regiment is .said to be ordered to Cum­berland, Maryland. This Regiment is from the same section as the famous Indiana Regiment of Buena \ ista memory. Some tall fun is antici­pated for the second time, in the way of pedestrian exercises, when this llegiment is brought into action. I f they should prove to be as fleet of foot as their predecessors on the plains of Mexico, there is no use of starting any company after them, unless they send Indians.

1 ankee l*atriots.— I t is said that many of the .soldiers, now in Fortress Monroe, on learning that Billy Wilson’s band of desperadoes had been ordered to that point, gathered all their little valuables, pu t them in hays and buried them.

Petersbur<f Express.

We leain from a friend, a Rice planter, that the prospect for a full yield of Rice, at this sea­son of the year, was never better in his section of country, and that reports from every other sec­tion are ec^uall flattering.— Courier.

COL. D A N L . H. H IL L .This able and distinguished officer, the gallant

and skillful commandcr of the F irst Regiment of

>Torth Carolina Volunteers, which fought so brave­ly in the recent battle at Bethel Church, is des­

tined to win enviable laurels in the present great struggle. If' we are permitted to judge his future by the past, we certainly must accord to him great renown, for surely no man ever laid a strong­er ba.sis for a great and brilliant reputation. Graduating at West Point with honor when about the age of twenty-two, he entered the U. S. Army and remained *in it until after the close of the Mexican War. He was in the army under Gen­eral Scottyfrom Vera Cruz to the City of Mexico, and greatly distinguished himself in some of the hard fought battles of that campaign. A t the storming of Chepultepec he was the second man on the American side that mounted the ramparts. For his meritorious services in this war he was promoted to the rank of Major, which he after­wards resigned to accept the obair of Mathematics in Davidson College, N. C.

He discharged the duties of his new position with great zeal and fidelity. Notwithstanding the arduous labors that now devolved on him, he found time to write and have published a large work on Algebra, which was favorably received. This work excited some remark at the time, on account of the intense Southern spirit which breathes in some of its problems. In 1858, when the North Carolina Military Institu te was estab­lished at Charlotte, Col. Hill was appointed to the first place in its Faculty, and devoted himseli with his accustomed energy and ability to the in ­struction of young soldiers for the Old North State.

Upon the commencement of hostilities between Abraham Lineolrt and the Confederate State.s, he was appointed by Governor Ellis to the command of the camp of Instruction at Raleigh. When the Firs t Regiment of North Carolina Volunteers was organized, he was almost unanimously elect­ed its Colonel.

Col. Hill hiiS not devoted all his talents and genius to military science. He is the author of two Theological works, viz: ‘‘The Sermon on the Mount,” and “ The Crucifixion.” These works were published two or three years ago, by the Presbyterian Board of Publication, and were well received in the Christian literary world. Col. Hill is a truly Christian man, and if we mistake not, is an Elder iu the Presbyterian ( ’hurch at Charlotte.

In person. Col. Hill is about the medium height, and well proportioned. He has dark eyes and hair, which is becoming slightly tinged with grey. He is about forty-two years old, has a se­rious military bearing, and is a very rigid discip­linarian.— I\ter^bury Exprt ss.

VoRKTowN, V a ., J u n e 14, ISGI.When information was received at camp that a

marauding party of the enemy were pillaging the house o f Mr. Whiting, three and a half miles from Hampton, Col. I>. H. Hill, of the North Carolina Regiment, asked for a detachment of .‘iU infantry to volunteer their services as a support for our howitzer under Major Randolph, and im­mediately 34 men of Company F, of the North Carolina Regiment, stepped forward, and report­ed them.'jelvos ready for the duty. The Howit­zer was under the direction of Major RanJolph, the infantry of Lieut. F. N. Roberts, of Company F, and the whole force was commanded by Lieut, (.’ol. ( ’. C. Lee, of the North ('arolina Regiment.

This party came up with the enemy a short distance below Mr. W hiting’s, and as .noon as the Federal hirelings perceived their approach, they fled like startled fawns. So precipitate was their flight that they left behind haversacks and booty, and .seemed to be intent on .saving their lives only.

('ol. L e e ’s c o m m a n d took tme pri.so.ner, and this was the first capture made in the skirmishes pre­liminary to and provocative of the battle of Beth­el Church.

Bethel Battle.— The verbal accounts from eye- witneiwes of the Bethel tight are full of int«*rest. Many of the in<-ident» were intensely exciting, of which it if vain to attempt a description in writ­ing. The rush, the dash, the elan of our boyfi was, however, the great and distinguishing fea­ture of the aflair. Cool and determined as Bona­parte's veterans, the}’ pitched into the tight with the gaiety of school boys into a game of ball. They have taken the step which is the augury and earnest of victory. J’heir (Inching bearing, 111 the face of tour times their number, will iiispiro a spirit of emulation among ail our torce.s and leatl to the rout of the invaders wherever they show themselves.— Ki^hviond Whiy.

Capt. John L. B r idyer t .— Capt. Jo h n L. Bridgers, the distinguished commander ol the gallant Edgecombe (luards, of the North Carolina F irst Regiment, spent yesterday in our midst. He was called upon by a large number of our citizens at J a r r a t t ’s, who listened with interest and delight to the many vivid pictures he drew, and the exciting incidents he related of the battle at Bethel Church. I t was the Edgecombe Guards aud one other company who, with fixed bayonets and still more firmly fixed deteriuination, so gloriously charged upon the 300 New York Zou­aves— putting them to flight and recapturing their stolen howitzer. The charge was splendid — the victory brilliant— and the name of the Edgecombe (iuards is immortal.— Pet. Express.

Major Winthrop, one of the aids to Cien. Pierce, who was reported missing, is said to have reached Newport News Point in safety He gave the order to charge on the battery, when the fearful hovoc of his troops took place. •

Two Parties.— According to the Northern papers there seems to t>e two parties there now— “ the Democrats who are enlisting to fight the battles of the country, and the Republicans who are robbing them of their rations and clothing by all sorts of swindling contracts.”

Gen. iScott.— This veteran traitor to the soil of his nativity, is reported to have said in conversa­tion with others: “ This is my last campaign,gentlemen, and it shall be my best.” We are of the opinion, says the Danville Register, that it will, doubtless, be as brilliant in the way of mili­tary achievements, as was his famous Florida cam­paign, during the Seminole war. In that cam­paign, after over twenty months of diligent scout­ing around the lakes and lagoons of that region, he succeeded in capturing one superannuated squaw while asleep, and awfully frightening “ one little Indian boy.”— Petersbury Express.

Don't Understand Us.— A correspondent of the New York Herald, writing from Pensacola, says;

The tru th is, Greely & Co., can never be made to understand these Southern people. They are called idle, and so they are when they have no­thing to do. But give them an object, and the d— 1 himself is not more industrious. They are a unit too— there is^no division amongst them. Re­construction is thrown overboard, and with such a man as Jeff. Davis at the head of the new (Con­federacy— clear sighted, calm, resolute and firm, in twelve months it will be firmly established as one of the Powers of the earth.

The Way i t WbrA-.«.— Six Frenchmen, late members of the “ Garibaldi L eg io n , ' w h o ^ ai- rival in Washington from New \ ork, and welcome by the Abolition President, was recorded with s u c h a flourish of trumpets recently, became dis­gusted with those with whom they were called on j to associate in the prosecution of Liticoln’s infa- j inous crusade against the South, and took tr r u rh l e a v e of the “ Legion,” escaping into .Maryland, below Fort Washington; thence into Virginia, near Federicksburg, by crossing the Potomac. They arrived in Richmond yesterday via railroad, en route for Vorktown, to join the real Zouaves now stationed there, men who are lighting to up ­hold liberty, and not to put it down. These “ de­serters” will, no doubt, be warmly welcomed. They created a great sensation in Fredericks­burg. The South may confidently look for the desertion of nearly all the foreigners wliom the Abolitionists have induced to take up arms against it. This result may be looked for directly the men begin to appreciate their position, and the use that is intended to be made of them.

The State L aw s .— Sundry enquiries have been made of us about the printed laws passed by the Legislature at its regular and extra sessions. Some.anxiety is felt to see them. We know nothing about them, but presume they are not yet printed .— Raleiyh S tandard .

The citizens of Marengo county, Alabama, met at the county site recently and subscribed 8,500 bales of cotton for the use of the Confederate States. A t ten cents a pound this will amount to 3175,000. If every county in Alabama does as well, she will furnish between 9 or $10,000,000 for the use of the government.
