CHARGE OF JUDGE haines. i At the opening oTfllU last term »f ; our County ConfU, licld last week. ' J edge Unities presiding delivered a I most admirable charge to the.Grand Jury, touching, ejjveciolly, the present on- , , settled state of the country, from which .-ire-make the following extract : ' ■ jT V But there arc crimes of a deeper dye, \ oV* .more atrocious character, cffhncc- \ * | ^^ted with the present i nhnppy condition j country. So far as theso crimes are against this State, and consequently ih'e subjert of your investigation, it is ' proper that they should be presented for yenr consideration. * The greatest civil bles.ing that a nation can-enjoy is that of a good Government. Without it property is almost useless, for the want of power to enjoy it ; 'personal security is but a name, without any substantial existence ; and liberty itself fs of little value, from the a, uncertainly or its dotation. It is a mockery to boast or personal liberty, personal security, and private property, when the title to them depend* not upon natural right, or honest acquisition, but upon the strepgth of the amy to maintain them; Where might makes right, the fruits of Industry "are gathered in miny Where the strong oppress'tbe weak, commerce, agriculture and the mechanic arts canw not thrive, peace and it* attendant pros- ' parity cannot be secured. It is government. suggested by the fenra and wants of men, that alone emu protect in the enenjoyment of those rights. It is under a government only that wise awl wholesome laws can be enacted and enforced, rights defined and secured, cod wrongs exposed and punished. Without it, anarchy reign* with its attendants: confu- . .. 'ill- ' l.l. .,.,1^1. nit iinvfrlv mill

sion, .violence, bloodshed, poverty and ruin. I • If such be the value, nay the neccsii- £ ty cf a Government, bow enormous must be the crime of those who arc seeking to ^ overthrow the constitutional compact | under which we hftve lived *o long and ^ witli so mnch prosperity, and which the ^ experience of nearly four-score yean , lias proved to be the wisest and best in ^ ' iu form, and the most salutary and beneficient in its operations of auy Gov- * crnment evef vol established. \. One of theso moiles is denominated treason, as to which our statute pro- ' , -X. vidaa, "lhat*if any person owing alio- | glance to the State shall levy war n- j gainst it, or shall adlieie to its enemies, ^ or to the enemies of the Uuiicd States, giving them nid or comfort, within this State or elsewhere, or by giving them " advice, or intelligent o l»y"l?tler or wri- ^ ting of any kind, or by messages, words, ] signs or tokens, or in any way whatsoever within this State or elsewhere, or ( by. procuring for, or furnishing to them ' money -or any kind- of provisions, arms : or warlike stores within this State or elsewhere, or ahtfil corruptly surrender 1 to them any town or fort, garrison, troops or eitizen* of this State or of the United States, or by giving them nid r r " ar.d comfort in liny other way, sliull, on conviction, be adjudged guilty of treason, and shall suffer death." And the statute further provides that If any person having knowledge ol the commission of any such treason, shall ' conceal the same and • not, as sobn as may be, make it known to the Governor or to n magistrate of this . State, shall on conviction b? adjuged guilty of wisrmaoM o»*.t*kason, and shall be punished by imprisonment at bard labor for any term not exceeding seven years, or be Gned in a sum not exceeding $1,000 or both, at the discretion of the Court. The offences thus clearly defined by 1 the atatued are, first, the levying of war j against this State, or the United States, . or giving tlicra aid aud comfort sec"- * ondly, the concealing of the knowledge *- of the first offence, and not making it known to »U proper authorities. . . ' A

, the enemies of this State and of the , - United. S tales !— The answer plain!? i : J thoM who, seek to subvert the governi meat of the United States and to dissolve the Union by whatever linmo Uj may be called is simply rebellion, and rebellion is treason. If rebellion he successfully maintained, it may become revolution, a righ Inherent In the people of every nalion. 13H»! secession is u* j heresy, u detestable, political heresy,,1 I the scheme of designing ..demagogues, who it) tlieir lust of power were seeking by a disolutlon of the Union R» over- ; throw this "government. It .is the' device of men, who had not the courage or deemed it not politic to declare for ; rgvolotidtf, but sought to cover their | designs, by the specious term Secession, j and claim to have a constitutional right j to withdraw from the Union at their pleasure. But this is iu direct conflict with the constitution aud at variance | w ith every principle of it. That instrument was meant by our forefathers to be perpetual. The compact of 1718 was styled "Articles of Confederation and Perpetual Union and the Constitution under which we | now live was ordained to form n "more i perfect Union-" It was ordained also : to establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for thd common de-, 1 fence, promote th« general weifar*, and . '•to secure the blessings of. liberty to^ themselves and their posterity. If the doctrine of secession wfevail, ' , that sacred instrument is "noy^erpetual 1 nor a more perfect bpnd Uniou, but n mere treaty of alliancy und the United Slates are no more one government thou England and FrnudK by teosou ' their treaties, nre one Gosernraent. If lbal.be the true doctrine, the people of the United States never became, . and arc «ot npw, one mrttwtt, but the UIIU OlCIIVk 11,1 -I , VHU WHIVII, I

[ .nhaBitants of thirty-four distinct prov- | ' incite, with, almost as many distinct and ; • conflicting Interests. If- wo are net a nation, wc have no I j national honor to defend, no natidnal I ; faith to pledge, .no-national 4Hg to prq.- i tect us, no common defence to provide i no general welfare tp promote. Without credit* who wiH trust-'; without ■ I who respect us ? \Vithoat the; cmuit'tu o! sovereignty, who mny.not in. i suit or pMrmpt'td sutijeet us t j But it is not mere ijeacenblo secession uliith is opposed to us ; but secession in arms, in actual hostility, in u stntc of • ! open and bloody warfare. This is not ' the result or a m'crc outburst of passion the impulse of the hour ; Liy warfare ; premeditated ai.-i commenced niter muchand Cartful preparation. All who arctuns engaged arc the enemies of the Uni- ; ted States and o? this Slate, and every loyal citizen is bound to oppose them. — lie is bound by his obligations to the | blood' ami treasure expended by the t Revolutionary father* ; by tlje love he | has for his country, its Institutions and ! iu honor ; by ids desire to enjoy and to. perpetuate the blessings corfUmplntcd by the Constitution. ' V.Tlie question presented is not one of ' partisan fujiremacy, Imt of Natiouai existence, and of constitutional liberty; not ,wbo-«hnli administer the Government, but whether tlivre shall be a Govern- ■ ! ment to he administered, a question on which there are but two parties — the lov- ' ers of their country and its enemies. — ^ i The quostion need not iuterrupt and is not in conflict with any of -the ordinary j party organizations, but rises above and \ beyond them all. The great political parties Into which i the people have hitherto beeti divided have each professed to have for its ob- ' jscl the promotion of the welfare of the j | Nation. Let them now prove their dn- . j eerily by a generous emulation iu their [ efforts to sustain It. ; • And all who declare for stcesrionohd , act upon itj-are the enemies of the laud ' and our statute says, that every one who, ' i owing allegiance to this Stale, adheres i Ho those %eucmics, • or anywise gives

, thctu aid and comfort, is guilty of trca- • ' sou, and to be puuished by death ; and thdt b!I who, khowipg df soelt treason ■ : conceal it and fail to make it known to a i | proper officer, are guilty of misprision i of ircnson;lknd to be puuished' by fine . and imprisonment. . FIRST rXPSEII NCR IN BATTLE. A Ftileral soldier who was In the bat-lle-of-Fikevllleriii Kentucky, writes Ap j his friends til Cincinnati this graphic ' description of his sensation during the light:And now for my share in tlie battle. — I was riding along somewhat carelessly, when crack) crack! creek! went their rifles, and- down fell our men. Crack! crack! crack! they 'came, tiff I jumped front ray horse, when along, came the Major, and gave mc his horse • to. hold : but I soon brtbhed 'them bo'.h to a tree down by the river, nm! sprung again up to the hunk, when whiz! went*" a bullet past my face, about three incite* from it,, mid made me draw iny head bamt 1 can assure you. . I looked up ' the bill, but could see no one for the ■ smoke, which was plenty, so levclledln I , ! the dirt ction of the enemy and fired — : 1 — loaded again and fired: I got my ' rifle in readiness again. Ah ! that bull : was pretty close, llerc coiner- another — buzz — buzz— (you can liear their ' • whiz for tuilv o hundrctl yards as they Ji-UUinc) — get tfnt of the way. But where is it to go ? Whew ! that was close. ■ But great, Hod ! it lias gone through a ' man's shoulder within a few yards of t !ine! lie falls! sortfe of his comrades pick him up. '* Now a horseman comes past in a hurry. He is right opposite me— when ' whiz ! crack ! a ball strikes his horse in • ; the fore shoulder. Off tumbles the • man ; down fulls the horse, stiffened 0 out and dead. — If the bullet had gone

' through the animal it would doubtless : ! have stiujok sue. 1 Here coincs a doze* or more, flow they wl.iz as they go past ! "Load and 1 firu !" "Load and fire!" is tl.'e or- j ' def. — and loatj and fire it is. My no- ( tice w«« especially drawn to a very fine ■ i looking man wlio stood close to 1110* und , t Italy acted like a hero— loading, and « : firing just us if be vca* on parade, when ■ whiz ! wliiz 5 cqiU'.-s a bullet. My 1 God 1 hiiir close— it almost stunned me. 1 When I looked towards iny solidar, I saw his comrades lifting him up. He was shot through the breast, and died in less ^tlian liatf an hour. Oh ! the:, horrors of war! Vengeance on the : heads of those who' initiate it. I dircclid my attention up the hill : n - little puff of smoke was dying away — "Boys," says I to the sqnud of hour fellows, "you sec thai smoke ; aim for it a rebel is in Its rear." 1, raised my Enfield ond gl' need through its slgltU, when 1 fur a moment caught sight of a man" through the boshes mid smoke thrre.— Crock went our guus, and oil was over. We crortcd to the place afterward and found the man's body, lie had four tmc of twelve musket balls, and uiio. Enfield rifle, ball— oiine* ;-.s mine vra^i the only rifle ball fired. • They nil went through him ; either of which would have filled . him— mine through hi* breast. Thank God ! I bad done my ! duty for thd*poor ftllow who fell beside >. me ! 1 j TATTLE AND TATLIKO. ' Very few persons stop to reflect how ' i raucii they arc given to this ildWorihy I indulgence. The fact is; there uro no1 local communities where the practice of 1 ' tattling is actually voted uulawful ; or, ' ' if tli ere ore those who think it so, tfcey ' i straightway go off ond become guilty ' i of the very thing they condemn. • It is r no-easy matter, to estimate the amount of dumage, In the lino of mischief, which J a tattling person may do*, for as there 1 is no such thing "* fairly confronting • 1 hia talk, or getting fquarly hold of it, * in order to answer it «* it should be » ' answered, t oxides the poUou innr.age to o
