If sucha Reihad is not positively constitut.onal, it is at least sanctioned by the public army ag In great exigencies of State, where the organic law [a ls to supply a remedy suitable to the case, it ig necessary to improvise ‘one for the occasion, and the measure thus orig nat ng ‘and thus sanctioved usually ranks thercafter as acom- mon law of the land. ‘The case with our Exéoctive was one which presented a strong appeal for some sort of interference or reform. The soldiersof the cou fegeraae were sufficiently numer- ous and valiant to defy any and all efforte at subjugation, ‘The material resources of the country were abundant to sorely the people and army indefinitely, Yet the one Rad been watercd and the cther squand-red, the armies in the field were insufficient to breast the invasion, and their senplies growing more and more limited every day. Generals incompetent to |, and not possessing the confidence of the people or their armics, were per- vertely continued in command, in spite of continued re- monstrance and habitual disasters, and other gencrals, enjoying the confidence of both the army and the people, ‘were removed from the field on the most capricious pre- tences, Finally, the burning disgrace was sulfered cf a great seaboard city being captured without the shot of a in, by an army marching overland from a base four undred miles in the inter.or—a disgrace under which no British ministry could have retained the government ‘twenty-four hours; a disgrace for which a Turkish vizier would have lost his head in half an hour, if not a Turkish sultan his throne. The canker worm which was gnawing into the vitals of the confederacy and Pes toe all its energies was a painful and 1 ta! want s + inthe administration ‘ef affairs at Richmond, There was no distrust of the intrinsic energies and resources of the confederacy. Assure the country that ite contributions of men and upplies would be wisely turned to avail, and no other appeal was noeded. Everything needful for the public fence and for the successful prosecution of the war ould be commanded, provided only confidence could be restored. Tho people from every quarter wrote those things to Congress. Members, in their intercourse with the people and army, know them already. They wero here in Richmond to represent their constituents, and endeavor to into effect the'r wishes in everything wherein the public interest could be promoted. Nothing could have sn more natural or more consistent with the spirit of our institutions than the means which members took to make known the wishes of the country to the Executive. If the unpromising condition of public affairs was due, not to any inherent defect in the cause, but to faults in ‘those who conducted it, then a judicious change of men would not only revive the confidence of the country, Dut, independently of the powerful assistance thus ol restore the fortunes of the confederacy. These were the views of members in recommending to the Pre- sident a change of the men who were not merely his ad- ‘visers, but who conducted great departments of the gov- erninent, on the success of which the country’s existence depended. A recommendation made in such a spirit, from such grompsings, under such grave circumstances, and for such high purposes, deserved a better response than it has recelved from Mr. Davis. The question now is the safety of the country, and not the techy dignity of this or that public functionary, or the courtesies due between codrdinate departments of government. A debate upon constitutional checks and balances is felt to be untimely. But the question of executive re- sponsibility to the country has forced itself all unb dden upon the public mind, Nobody wanted to rai everybody was anxious to avoid all questions of th = pork ag para Er Seale fa an appallin, cou 1g ruin under gross and pa's mal- administration. Reform, instant Ga thoroeghy is vitally essential; and the Executsve that has caused this urgent ned rises up, refuses to institute im ikelf, and denies tie pecs to enforce it, The confederate President elected for six years, and is forever ineligible afterwards, so that the people can never reach him. Impeachment rer reached any erring functiouary—so that he is absolutely without any mnaib.lity at all. By abolishing the four yeafs term and redleigibility the Confederacy lost control of its chief executive. He being out of reach, there was but one hope lef of enforcing this responsibility. The act- ing heads of the ieest departments ought to bo gentlo- men of sensitive honor, too proud to bh their stations against the wishes of their country. The exper.ment ‘was tried of requiring them to decide whether they were mero clerks of the nt.or servants of the public, respansible to ita plainly declared wishes. There was one Virginian in the Cabinet who knew that he would be disgraced ia public opinion here if he continued to hold his position, Whether hisexample will be followed is only another form of the question whether public confi- dence will be revived in the cause, and wi the Con- fedoracy aball continue to exist. The Career of Joe Johnston. WIGFALL’S DEFENCE OF HIS MILITARY CAREER. TER REBEL OONGRESS, Monpar, Feb, 6, 1865. SENATE. ‘The unfinished business, being the motion to recon- sider the vote by which was the second amend- ment of the House to the bill providing for the employ- ment of free negroes and slaves to work upon fortifica- tlons was taken up, Mr. Garland, of Ark., being entitled to the floor. Mr. Seamus, of La., announced that Mr. Garland was detainod at bis reom by severe indixposition. Mr. Granam, of N.C, moved to postpone the further consideration of the bill until to-morrow. Mr. Srarnow, of Lo, said that the bill was one of great impo! and, in his opinion, should be passed at once, He hoped the bill would not be postponed. ‘Mr, Haynes asked the attention of the Senate for a few moments, The President, in his recent message, had called for forty thousand negroes for the purposes indi- cated in this bill, He, thereforo, thought that number juite sufficient; if not, more would have been asked for. le was opposed to giving such unlimited discretion to Exeoutive as was proposed by this amendment, and should therefore vote against reconsidering. If forty thousand only were necessary, why overstep the mark and thus diminish the numb r engaged in agricultural pursuits? Senators had seemed to consider the amend- ment the entering wedge to the employment of negroes ag soldiers. He did not consider it susceptible of that construction. He was opposed to the employment of negroes as soldiers, vnless it became no- ceasary to arm them to achieve our independence. If necessary to whip back the Northern horde sent against us, then he would vote tourm any number. All further parleys about peace, in his opinion were useless. Recon- struction now was but another name for abolitionismn. The inatitution of slavery could only be maintained by the acchievoment of the independence of these Confed- erate States. To achieve that independence he would vote to arm the negroes, In regard to the evils which have overtaken us he thought (Ae Prentdmt was many reponsible. At all events, such was the sentiment of tho people in Tennessee, and, na One of the representatives Of that State, he desired fo inform the Chief Magistrate Ho would not cagage in the censure whic! wt General Bragg by Senators, did not beleve that General Brogg was respoustble for the many defeats sustained by tho Western army and the Army of Ten- nessee, There was a power behind Gevorsl Bragg that controlled him. He aitributed the loss of Tenneawe to Kae: tive biundere, Twenty thousand men were taken from the Army of Tennessee in spite of the protest of General Johnston, and gent to the relief of Vicksburg. Vicksburg was pot saved, but Tennessee was lost. General Johnston Tecommended the relief of Vickaburg by the troops wes of the Mississippi. Again, after the battte of Chicks- manga, the President sent Longstreet off on a wild goose chase to Knorville with over fourteen thousand men, leaving to be swept back from Missionary Ridge by the overwhelming forces of Grant. Again, he removed General Johnston In the midst of a battie, for it was one battle from!

General Johnston should he reinstated fmmediately. The army should be increased by the addition of every conscript officer and guard in we confederncy.

Most of ite Ume had been consumed in the discussion of futile questions. Ho wad cin to be able to nay that he himself flood sequitted of this waste of the public time, He had felt it due to himself end the State which he in part represented that be should ray thus much, and he hoped he had enld it in ® proper epirit.

The wrong done was not one to which General Johnston alone was concerned, ne matter how much that gallant officer may have suffered by the injustice heaped upon him; but he maintained that the whole country felt @ deep interest in ft. The people with almost oue voice, had demanded his restoration, and yet the Preei- dent had reused to obey. The President’ had become alienated from the people. cut, and he has not for years been in communication with them.

He wanted to save his country, ‘and the people call ini sen the President to nse his best ex- ertions to accomplish thatend. They want General John- ston restored tocommand. Some good changes had lately taken place, but more was necewsary. Thero was dead wood in the Cabinet-which must be cleaned out and li. men put in instead. The Senator says General Johnston has not even fough' sree buttle in this war, and char- acterizes him as @ ‘falling back peneral.’’ If he ts not the great captain that Senators aver he is, then is ft not elit. tle remarkable that the people have thrice raised all this clamor around the President's ears about hem. I tell you (said Mr. Wigfall) he stands on the record as one of the most succossful generals of his day, and when those documents and letters, which have been repeatedly called for by this Congress, are forthcoming, that assertion will be sustained beyond a doubt. If the Senator wants facts, let him get the whole of the cor- reepondence about the Vicksburg campaign and the mili- tary operations in Northern Georgia, and not garbled extracts, Why, asked he, 1s the correspondence in re- gard to the Vickaburg affair, about which we were wont to hear so much, allowed to slumber among the rubbish in the War Office? Is it because Pemberion had an order fiom Richwnd [cheat ager to hold Vickibur, ‘Aazard:? Thrice Pemberton informed General Johnston of the movements of Grant before Vicksburg was surrendered, and inquired what course he should porsue, Each tme this ‘falling back general” ro- sponded, ‘‘attack him at once, and I will codperaio with you.” Did Pemberton attack? No. Doubtless he had orders from Richmond not to attack Grant. When Pemberton marche@ his army back into Vicksburg, it was against the judgment of General Johnston, who told him that if he carried his army in he would be ered. Did Pemberton heed Johnston? No. He marched his army back into the doomed city, and was compelled to surrender. Pem- Derton wrote to Yohnston to propose to Grant to let him (Pemberton) march out with his army. Jonnston’s reply was that of a soldier. “No; if I e such ition it will be an admission of my weakness.” ‘‘But,” said Johnston, ‘why make any such proposition? Cut your way through—iet me know what road you select, and I will cooperate with you.” This Pemberton agrecd to, and Johnston started with his army to the point desig- nated by Pemberton, but just before reaching it a courier came up and informed him that Vicksburg and the gar- rison had been surrendered. Im the September of '61 this “falling beck general’’ Potomac, march into Maryland, ple of ‘that State an opportunity to then march against Washington. The plan was’ made known to Generals Beaurogard and Smith, both of whom approved it. To do this he wanted rixty-thousand men, and tho President was applied to to reinforce him with the garrisons from places in no possible danger. They were refused, and the army did not cross. is samo “falling back general” was opposed to the retreat from Centreville, aud gave bis reasons for it at that time, Dut against hie Judgment the mandate was issued by the ebi ti ichmond, and the army fell bac! have understood differently. I ‘fe heard that Johnston favored the evacuation of ile, and asked where he should stop, Mr. Wicrat—I know this movement was the su of discussion in Riciunond at the time. He bore it like a soldier, in silence, with not one word of complaint. ut, sir, L speak advisedly when I say it was against his Judginent. I throw down the gauntlet. There is a way to get at the facts of the case. Call for the correspond- ence and you will sce that Iam correct. I assert that thefalling bak frm Centrevilte wasly order of the Previ- darthimelf. Mr. Wigfall then briefly reviewed the Pen- insular campaign. One half of Geferal Johnston’s ‘was ordered to the Peninsula without consulting him, He asked to be allowed to go. No sooner bad be sur- ‘veyed the ground than his military eye saw that it was a + military blunder, and he #0 expréased himself. fir pian was to bring the troope from the two Carolinas, to keep bis army near Richmond, and allow Magruder t0 fall back slowly before McClellan, and, when the latter neared the Chickahominy, he would strike him a crueh- ing blow. Generat Johnston objected to Go gong at Yorktown; that McClellan, with one hun and forty guns and mortars of superior range, would knock every one of bis guns out of position, and that before he could then get to Williamsburg, McClellan would Jand at Eltham and be on his way to Richmond. The result proved the eorrectness of his judgment. Johnston evacuated his position the night before McClellan was about to open upon him, and when he got to Ritham Casey’s corpe was ready there. Mr. Wigfall then reviewed the campaign from Dalton vo Atlanta. No fair criticism can be made upon Gen. Johnston's campaign without considering fully and fairly the condition of the country and of the army when he assumed the command of the latter. The army had been routed at Missionary Ridge under the leadership of a n_ral in whom the President had such coniidence that 0 plac d him immediately in command of all the armies of the Confederate States. /¢ was rowed becaus: (f the bad condirct of the (rw ps, a8 tho President informod the Con- ress immediately after the disaster, and when he must ve known ali the facts, and while they were yet fresh in his memory. It was torn with dissensions, filled with antagonisms and organized into cabals, and th's under the great organizer and dicciplinarian General Bragg. Mr. Staone—Has the Senator ever seen the letter of General Hardoe, speaking of ite excellent condiion be- fore General Johnston assumed the command? ‘Mr. Wicrait—No, I am not a member of the Cabinet or of the privy council, and have, therefore, no access to the private correspondence of the President, by which the reputation of gencrals are made aad destroyed. Mr. Sxuxgs—Does the gentleman intend that as a slur? Mr. Wiaratt—Take it in a Pickwickian sense. How- ever admirable the oran zation of this army, General Hardee was not w.ll.ing to riek his reputation with it, General Johnsion was, and be had hardly assumed the command be ore all abtagonisms were removed, all dis- eensions dispelled, and al] cabale broken > Peace, har- mony and contidence wore established in their stead. Sherman's object was to cut the communications between ‘ o Lincoin and Feward. There this place and the Guif States and the Mississippt valley. | His objective point was the Montgomery, Opelika, Maco Mil ae Augusta road, Till he reached ihat our com’ munications were open, When he reached Atlanta he ‘was still one hundred miles from that road, The fall of Atlanta, therefore, without the deeat of our army, was of no military importance ; Atlanta, therefore, was scarcely one of the etakes in this great game of war; Milledgeville, Macon, Mout- fomery, Mobile, Columbus, Augusta, Savannah,’ Colum- ja and Charicston, these and ihe railroads oomnectiny them were staked on the table on the ove side, and all ‘the territory to the Ohio river on the other. For theee wiakes Johnston and Sherman were to play. The de- struction of one army or the otber aecitied the gene. Yet General Johnston was required by the President to deliver battle ator im front of Dalton, Whet was hie situation thon? Sherman bad been reinforced by two corps, Johnston had then received ue reinforcements. His army had been routed and driven from behind breastworks by Sherman's before it hud been reinforoed. He was required, with the defeated army, to drive the victorious army from ius Intrenchments posted upon tary a Sherman, Was bi Gulf.

Ho was doubtless engaged in this task at Florence, 8. C., (the principal prison pen in the South) when he met with his sudden death.

Court of General Sessions. Before Recorder Hoffman. GONVICTION FOR KIDNAPPING A BEAUTIFUL CHILD IN THE STREET. ‘The only case tried Wednesday in the General Sessions was an indictment against a German woman named Mary Aichle for having abducted the little daughter of Wm. Cagney. The circumstances of the case were quite in- teresting. It appeared from the testimony of the prin- cipal witness for the prosecution—Ann Tussolt—an intel- Ngont German girl of about fifteen years of age, that she Myed with her uncle in Second street ; that she became ac- quainted with Mra Aichie, and on the morning of the 28th of November, while paying a visit at her house in Ninth avenue, botwoon Fiftieth and Fifty-first streets, she ac- ceded te the proposition of the prisoner to go to Wil- Namsburg. While proceeding down Eighth sti hear avenue C, they observed three children bag fod in the street, and, at the request of the prisoner, Miss Tussolt crossed tho street and asked one of the I ttle girls hor name, after which Mra. Aichle (who, by the way, had no children of her own, and had failed in her efforis to procuro one even at the Juvenile Asylum,) engaged. the artless child in conversation and gave her money to purchase candy. As soon as sho had tur- nished herself with the es the prisoner and her oung friend took the child, and, after walking a few Biocks, got into a car and rode to Thirty-fourth street. They got out of the car, and, at the request of the woman, the irl remained with the child on the corner x ten minutes, in compli- ance with her suggestion, er house—a distance of twenty blocks.

The sergeant was not aware of such ‘a loss; but one of the officers, who happened tobe ph er through the office at the time, and who cut the advertisement out of the Henao, recognized in the descript on which was given of the child that it was Mr. Cagney’s. The officer accordingly communicated the din ‘tidings to the parents, who repaired to the station use and at once identified their iong lost child. On the evening of that day Mra, Aichle and Ann Tuseolt were arrested, The testimony for the defenc> was offered to show that Mrs. Aichle had not left her house on the day of the alleged kidnapping, and that tho girl brought the child to her house, Although the evidence on both sidea ‘was contradictory in some respects, yet the main facts adduced to sustain the indictment were established, which resulted in the jury rendering a verdict of guilty, with a strong recommendation to the mercy of the court, She was remanded till Friday for sentence. District At- torney Hali, in his remarks tothe jury, made the inter- esting statement that during the twelve years of his of. cial experience ag public prosecutor ho was cognizant of numbers of cases where parents had lost their children and had been unable to discover any trace of their whereabouts tothisday. He urged a conv ction in this case for the sake of example, for the testimony was much stronger than he-generally was able to furnish in support of such in- dictments. The court has a wido discretion in reverence to punishment for this offence. She may be sent to the State Prison for storm of years, or fined in merely nora‘nal sum. i CONVICTION OF & RECRUITING AGENT FOR LAR- cuNY. Walter Patten, who kept # recruiting office in the Bowery, was tried and convicted of grand larceny, ba ing, on tho 8th of December, stolen thirty dollars fro Henry F. Koss. The complainant testifled that on the morning of the occurrence he went with his brother-in- Jaw, who was desirous of enlisting, to the office of the defendant, and on learning that Mr. Blunt's dffice was in the Park, he proceeded down to the City Hall, followed Patten. Mr, Koss receivod fifty dollars from Mr. Blunt for bringing the recruit, when the prisonor soatched thirty dollars out of his hand and ran of. He was chased by Koss to Gold stre:t, where he was arrested by an officer and the money was ‘ound in his possession. Patten claimed that the complainant saree to give him the fifty dollars us hand money, which Koes dented, stating that he did not want to have anything to do with him. It appeared that Patten was known at the rooms of the Volunteoring Committees, and was ordered to leave, The prieonor was remanded for sentence.
