While we fix our attention upon the checkered fortunes of our beroic soldiers, and trace their marches over hills and villages made through all time by their disasters or their triumphs; while we aro filled with alternating hopes and fears, with exulta- tions and disappointinents; while our brot! ‘sons are rudely torn from their homes, and the weeds of the mother and sister record in the family the tearful glory of the fallen brave; while the movements of our vast menbi NEW YORK HERALD, TUESDAY, AUGUST li, 1863. or bis property situated in this country would be subject to confiscation, mnivar rule of the Taw of nations, whenever two By asivos are at war, every subject of one belligerent nation is. @ public enemy Of the other an idividuai” may be a personal friend, and at the same time a public enemy to thy United States. ‘The law of war dedives international relations. When the civil war in America became a territorial war every citizen residing i the belligerent districts be- come 4 public enemy irrespective of his private senti- ments, whether loyal or disloyal, friendly or hostile, Unionist of secessionist, guilty or innocent.

As pu! enemies they claim the right to make war upon us in plain violation of many of the obiigations they would have admitted tf they acknowledged the obligations or claimed the protection of our constitution. If they had claimed any State rights under our consti- tution they would not have violated every one of the pro- Visions |aereof limiting the powers o! States.

As the government disburses money in the payment of troops and contractors, the banks wil! again accumulate deposits. The specie shows a decrease, in conse- quence of the heavy exports of coin. The varia- Court of the United States in the case of the Hiawatha, decided on the 9th of March, 1863. In that case (which should be read and studied by every citizen of the Union), the members of the court differed in opinion as to the time when the war became territorial, Tho majority de- cided that when the fact of general hostilities existed the ‘war was territorial and the Supreme Court was bound to take judicial cognizance thereof. The minority argued that, ag Congress alone had power to declare war, so Con; alone has power to recognize tho existence of ‘war;and they contended that it was not until the act of Congress of July 13, 1861, commonly called the Non-Inter- course act. that a state of olvil territorial war was legiti- mately recognized. Ailthe judges agree in the position “that since July 13, 1861, there has existed between the aia States and the Confederate States a civil terri war. “That since that time the United ioles bane Del ie. arinies, in all the pomp. pride and ae of glo- rious war—the thunder of their guos, the u of their brilliant sucecsses, fill the head and heart, let us not forget that there is another war, waged by men not less brave, s victories not leas renowned than are won on battle dels. ihe deadly struggle is between civilization and barba- rism—ircoiom and slavery—republicanism and aristocra. ey—loyalty and treason. ihe true patriot will watch with profound interest the fortunes of this intellectual and moral conflict, because ‘the issue involves the country’s tafety, prosperity and honor, If victory shall crown the efforts of brave men who believe and trust inGod, then snail ali this bloody sacratice be consecrated, and the years of suffering shuil exait us among the nations; if we fail,no triumph of brute force can compensate the world forour unfathom- able degradation. Let us then endeavor to appreciate the difficulties of our present position. P O! sever! subjects to which, were it now in my power, Law ask your earnest attention, I can speak of one only. As the success of the Union cause shall become more certain and apparent to the enemy in various localities, they will lay down arms and cease fighting. Their bitter and deep rooted hatred of the government and of all Northern men who are not traitors and of all Southern men who are loyal, will still remain interwoven in every fibre of their hearts, and will be made, if possible, more intense by the humiliation of conquest and subjec- tion, ‘he foot of the conqueror planted upon their proud necks will not sweeten their tempers, and thelr fant and treacherous nat will seek to revenge iiself in murders, assassinations and all underband me- thods 0: venting a spite which they dare not manifest by open war, and in driving out of their borders all loyal men. To suppose vhat a Union sentiment will remain in ‘any considerable number of men among a people who have strained every nerve and made every sacrifice to desiroy the Union ‘indicates dishonesty, insanity or fee- dienes of intellect. ‘The inhabitants of the conquered districts will begin by claiming the right to exercise the powers of government, and, under their construction of State rights, to get con- trol of the lands, personal property, slaves, free blacks aud poor whites, and a legalized power, through the in- stromentulity of State laws, made to answer their own Durposes, to oppose and prevent the execution of the constitution and laws of the United States within districts of the country ivhabited by them. dbus, for instence, when South Carolina shall have couse Hghtivg she will say to the Presideut, ‘We have now laid down our arms; we submit to the authority of the Untied States government; you may restore your custom houses, your courts of justice, and if we hold any pub.ic property we give it up; we have now chosen Senators and representatives to Congress, and demand their admission, and the full establishment of ail our State rights and Our restoration to all our former privi- leges and immunicy as citizens of the United States.” This demand is mude by men who aretraitors in heart; men who bute and despise the Union; men who never bad a patriotic sentimeot; men who, if they could, would hang every friend of the government. But, for the sake of get- tog power into their own hands by our concession, which tney could not obtain by fighting, and for the sake of avoiding their national crimes, they will demand restora- tion under the guise of clabming State rights. Wha: will be the consequences of yielding to this de. mand? They will gain the right of managing their affairs oc cording to their will and pleasure, and not according to the will and pleasure of the people of the United States, They will be enabled, by the intervention of their State Jaws and State-courts, to put and maintain themselves in effectual and perpetual opposition to the laws and consti- tution of the United States, as they have done, for thirty- five years past. They will have the power to pass such lecab lawsas will effectually exclude all Northern men. ail sol- diers, all free Lacks and a!! persnsand things which shall be inconsistent with the theory of making slavery the corner Bone of their local gv-rnmnt; and they may make slaw perpetual, tn violation of the laws of the United Sta'es a1 proclamations of the President. YY may continue the @storcemont of those classes of laws inst free sjeech and freedom of the preas which will for- ever exclude povuiur education and ali other means of moral, social and political advancement. They may send back to Congress the same traitors and conspirators who have once betrayed the country into civil war, and who will thwart and embarruss all measures tending to re- store the Union by harmonizing the mterests and the in- stitutions ¢f the people; and so, being introduced into camp, a8 the wooden horse into Troy, gain by fraud and treason that which they could not achieve by feats of arms. The insanity of State rights’ doctrines will be nourished and streagthened by admitting back a con- quered people as our equals, and its baleful influence can not be estimated. 4 Tie solemn pledge of freedom offered to the ¢-lored citizens by Congress and by the procid'm: tion mus: be broken, and the co ntry and the government covered with unspeakable infamy. Even frreign nations might thén justly consider us guilty of treachery to the cause of humanity and civilization. Suppose to day the rebellion quolled and the question put: Will you bow give up to your enemy the power of tonking Your laws? Eastern Virvinia, Florida and Louisiana are now knock- tog ut thadoor of Comzreas for admission into the Union. Men come to Washington, chosen by a handful of asso- ciates, elevated by revoiition to unaccustomed dignity, ropresenting themselves as Union men, and earnest to have State rights bestow ed on their constituents, f ‘heir @onatituents are clothet with the power to € nst.iute @ State, into whose hands.will that power fall?

Such being the law of the land, as declared by the Su- preme Court, in order to ascertain what are the legal or constitutional rights of public enemies we have only to refer to the settled principles of the belligerent law of nations or the laws of war. Some of the laws of war are stated in the dissenting opinion, in the case abeve mentioned. A state of foreign war instantly annuls the most solemn p-dgececraep pene nations, It boapyreg! alk obl 9 in nature of compacts or contracts, option obligated thereby. It destroys all claims of one Deligreat upon the other, except those which may be sanctio by atreaty of peace. A civil territorial war has the same effect, excepting, only, that the sovercign may treat the rebels as subjects as well as belligerents. Hence, civil war, ‘hich the belligerents have be- come territorial enemies, instantly annuls all rights or claims of public eneniies against the United States, under the constitution or laws, whether that constitution be called a compact, a treaty or. a covenant, and whether the parties toit were States, in their sovereign capacity, or the people of the United States as individuals. Any other result would be as incomprehensible as it would be mischievous. A public enemy cannot lawfully claim the right of entering Congress and voting down the measures taken to subdue him, Why not? Because he is a public enemy. Because b; becoming a public enemy he has annulled and lost his rights in the government, and can never regain them except by our consent. I¢ the inhabitants of a large part of the Union have, by becoming public enemies, surrendered and annulled their former rights, the question arises, can they recover them? Such rights cannot be regained by reason of their having ceased to fight. The character of a pablic enemy having once been stamped upon them by the laws of war reness fixed until it shall have been, by our consent, removed, To stop fighting does not make them cense to be public enemies, because they may have laid down their arms for want of powder, not for want of will. Peace does not restore the noble dead who have fallen a sacrifice to treason. Nor docs it revive the rights once exti civil, terrible war, The land of the Union belongs to the people of theanited States, subject to the rights of indi. vidual ownership. Each person inhabiting those sec- tions of the ceuntry declared by the President’s pro clamation to be in rebellion has the right to what be- longs to public y, and mo more. He can have no right to ‘any part in our govern- ment. That right does not belong to an enemy of the Cla while he is watiag war or after ergy een incpenssvenent of the Untied a ty pate in or to assume ited States onli when he has the United States. We find in this weil settled doctrine of belligerent law the solation of all questions in relation vo State rights. After the inhabit- ants of @ district have become public enemies they have no rights, either * or personal, inst the United States, ‘hey are belligorents only, and have leit to them only belligerent rights. ‘Suppose that all the inhabitants of South Carolina should be swept off, so that solitude should reign throu it ite borders eM a living thing, would the State ke cay still exist as attached to the tand tse! Can there be a sovereignty without a people or a State without inbabitants? State righis, s0 far ag they concern the Union, are tho rights of persons as members of a State in relation to general government; and whor the person has become a public enemy, then he loses ail rights except the rights of war, Aod when all the inba- Ditants have (by engaging to civil, territor: r) be come public enemies, it is the same in legal effect as though the inhabitants bad been annihilated. So/ar as this government is concerned civil war obliterates all lines of States or countries; the only lines recognized by war are the lines which sepqrate us from a public enemy. I do not place reliance upon the commen law doctrine of forfeitures of franchises as applicable to this revolu tion; for forfeiture can be founded only uw: the admis- sion of the validity of the act in which forfeiture is founded. Nor does the belligerent law of civil, territorial war, whereby a public enemy loses bis rights as a citizen, admit the right of secession. It ts not any vote or law of that makes an individual a publicenemy. A person may commit heinous offences against municipal law. and commit acts of hostility against the government, without being a public enemy. To bea 1 enemy is not to be a public enemy to the country, in the eyo of belligerent or international law. engages in an insurrection is a personal enemy: but it is not until that insurrection has swelled into territorial war that he be. comes a public enemy. It must also be remembered that the right of secession is not conceded by enforcement of belligerent law, since, in civil war, a nation bas the right to treat ite citizens either as sub ects or as belligerents, or a8 both. Hence, while belligerent law destroys all claims of subjects en- gaged in civil war, as the parent government. it does not release the subject from his duties to that govern. ment. By war the subject loses his rights, but does not escape his obligations. The inhabitants of the conquered districts will thus Igne their right to govern us, but will not escape their obligation to obey us. Whatever rights are left to them, besides the rights of war, will be such as we choose to allow them. It isfor us to dictate to them, not for them to dic ate to us what privileges they shall > Among the war measures by the President, to which be more than once, pledged bis sacred honor, and ‘h Congress hasenforced by solemn laws, 4s the liberation of slaves.

Whatever disasters may befall our arms, whatever hu- Miliations may be in store for us, it is earnestiy hoped | that we may be saved the unfathomable infamy of breaking | the nation’s faith with Eurepe, and with colored citteens and | slaves in the Union, | Now, if the rebellious States shall attempt to return to the Union with constitutions guaranteeing the perpetui- ty of slavery: i/ the laws of those States shall be again revived and put in force againat free blacks and siaves, we shall at once have reinstaled im the Union, in all its | force and wickudness, that very curse which has brought on the war and ail its terrible train of .

Next Monday the state- ment will probably show results very different from those of the statement of this week, though, unless speculation becomes more active, it will be no easy matter to increase the loans to any extent. ‘The ease in money was very marked to-day. At an early hour the leading bankers sent round to try to place their funds at 6 per cent; but before three P. M. most of them were obliged to be con- tent with 5, and several had money over which they could not use at that figure. The large dis- bursements of the Sub-Treasury are increasing the supply of cash means which is available for the wants of the brokers. Mercantile paper sells at 5 95% for the best names. Debt certificates are steady at 5% 8 % premium. Gold sold as high as 126% at one time this morn- ing, and as low as 12634; it closed this afternoon at 126%. Bills were inactive at 139 a % for bankers’ signatures. There is no speculation in either bills or gold, and the prospect is that the price of both will remain tolerably stationary until some event occurs like the fall of Charleston or Mobile, or a serious disaster to our armies, when they would again become active, and specu- lation would turn them to account. Stocks were not very active,this morning; but prices were uniformly better, and the tone of the market was buoyant. Harlem rose to 150, a jump of nine per cent; Prairie du Chien rose 3, Illinois Central 14%, New York Central 1%, Erie 5%, Har- lem preferred 5, Southern old 134, Reading 1%, Pittsburg 134, Galena %, Rock Island 134, Fort Wayne 1, Northwestern 4. There was very little done in governments or State stocks. Bonds were dull and neglected. The chief interest in the mar- ket centres in the active railway shares, which have been advancing so rapidly of late, and re- specting the future of which no one can foresee anything. If any one sixty days ago had predict- ed that Harlem would sell at 160 he would have been set down as crazy. At the one P. M. call and at the afternoon session of the regular board the market was lower. The bears took courage from the loss of deposits in the bank statement, and offered their options with fresh vigor, while some holders took fright from the same cause and sold out. Thus Erie fell 1 per cent, Central 1%, Reading 134, Illinois 34, Pittsburg 34, Galena %, Rock Island 1, &c. At the close there was at first rather more disposition to buy; but this was met by very liberal offerings by the short sellers, and prices dropped off a further fraction. Afterward, and at the four P. M. call, there was a smart rally, and the market closed stiff again.

The Assistant Secretary of the Treasury was in town this morning. He says that the Sub-Trea- sury balance at this point will be greatly redaced this week. One draft for a million,¢o pay for commissary stores, freight, &c., was advised this morning.

This, is dividend off, Before the news of the surrender of Vicksburg was received in London these shares sold at 30 per cent discount, dividend on. The rise is therefore 11 per cent. The English holders have all along predicted this, and have calcalated upon an im- mense increase of both passenger and freight traffic on the opening of the Mississippi. The Illinois Central, in fact, will enjoy for some time a monopoly of the travel to points on the river south ef Cairo. Even if the Mcemphia and Charles- ton Railroad was opened, or the routes to the Southwest from Richmond, through Lynchburg and Chattanooga, which formerly carried three- fourths of the passengers, it is unlikely that Northern business men would care to risk their lives in trains liable at any moment to be de- stroyed by some stray guerillas. There has been the least possible delay in opening the trade on the Mississippi. Steamers daily leave St. Louis and Cairo for Memphis and New Orleans in connection | with the Illinois Central, which is running daily | three passenger trains to and from the junction of | the Ohio and Mississippi Railroad, leading to St. | Louis and Cincinnati. We referred a few days since to the transportation of tobacco by this road, and to its culture in Southern Tilinois by refugees from the slave States. The road has carried this | season more than ten millions of pounds of tebacco. The freight, statistics show in the first six months of this year, and preceding the harvest months, after which the heavy business of the grain roads is bronght out, a larger toumage than the figures for the entire year of 1858.
