Henry Milton Clapp wa» born in Guilt'or-l county,
North ' arolina, on the fcth day of April, 1840. He
is a sou of Mr. Joshua Clapp. His father, who is
;iu excellent and worthy gentieman, gave his chil-dren
the advantages of a good, practical and even
liberal education. His son, Henry, was the child of
his favor and doliuht. He was a charming boy ;

Respecting Private Property.
The following is (ien. Lee's order to bis

Headquarters Army Northern Va.
Chambersburg, Pa., June 27, 1863.
General Orders, JVb. 73.—The Comman-ding
General has'observed with marked
satisfaction the conduct ofthe troops on the
march, and confidently anticipates results
commensarato with the high spirit they
havo manifested.
No troops could have displayed gteater
fortitude, or better porformed the ardaous
marches ofthe past ten days.
Their condect in other respects has, with
few exceptions, been in keeping with their
character as soldiers, and entitles them to
approbation and pr.use.
There have, however, been instances of
lorgetfulness on the part ol some
in keeping the yet nnsallied reputa-tion
of this army, and that tho duties ex-
I acted of us by civilization and Christianity
are not less obligatory in the country ofthe
enemy '>han in our own.
Tho Commanding General considers
that no greater disgrace coald befall the
Army, and through it our whole people,
than the perpetration of the barbarous out-rages
upon the unarmed and defenceless,
and the wanton destruction of private prop-erty,
that havo marked the course ol tho
enemy in our own countiy.
Such proceedings not only degrade the
perpetrators and all connected with them,
but are subversive of the disCiptino and ef-ficiency
of the Army, and destructive of the
ends of our present movement.
It must bo remembered that we make
war only upon armed men, and that we
cannot take vengeance for the wrong our
people have suffered without lowering our-selves
in the eyes of all whose abhorrence
has been excited by tho atrocities of our
enemies, and offending against Him to
whom vengeance belongeth, without whose
favor and support our efLna must all prove
in vain.
The Commanding General therefore eat-nestly
exhorts the troops to abstain, with
most scrupulous care, from unnecessary or
wanton injury to private property, and he
enjoins upon all officers to arrest and bring
to summary punishment all who shall in
any way offend against the orders on this
subject. R. E. LEE, General.
CONSCRIPTION OF FOREIONEBS.—Judge
Magratb, -District Judge ofthe Confederate
States, in South Carolina, has, after caret
ful consideration, made an important de-cision
as to tho liability of foreigners to
military service. Wo stato the case and tho
psinciples decided :
Henry Spincken is a German by birth,
and has been in this country seven years,
but has never been naturalized. At the
secession of the State ho voluntarily incor-porated
himself in a company of militia,
and participated in tho contest which re-suited
in tho (all of FortSumter. On tho
ground that he was an alien, and nevor in-tended
to remain in this country, he now
applies for the Writ of habeas corpus to
obtain from the Court his discharge from
the military servieo of tho Confederate
States under its Conscription Law. Judge
Magratb refuses his application for the
Writ of habeas corpus, and states tho law to
be as follows :
Under whatever Government one may
be, while he remains under its authority he
receives tho benefit of its protection, and
in return gives to it obedience. That obe-dience
supplies the place of tho allegiance
hoowedtotho domici! of his origin. If
that Government becomes involved in
war with the Government to which his
pormanent'allegiance is due, tho implied
proffer of hospitality and protection under
which ho was received ceases. Ho be-comes
then an alien enemy, and tho pre-sumption
is that ho will return to his own
country. If the war is not with tho coun-try
to which he owed permanent allegi-ance,
but with some other, he has tho option
of departing from the belligerent country
or continuing there his abode.. If ho con-tinues
there his abode, ho does so _ under
the general rule which regulates his rela-tions
with it in peace. That is, obedience
to its laws and temporary allegiance, in
return for tho protection he receives. That
allegiance is in part due and to bo rendered
in contributing to its defence. That de-fence
is to be made in tho manner which
the Government may consider best. And
the right of the Government to call upon

SOLDIERS or THE DI.DEX TIME.—The
Emporor Carcalla was wont continually to
march on foot, completely armed, at the
head of his army. The Roman infantry
always carried not only their helmet,
sword and shield (for as to onr arms, hay.
Cicero they were ao accustomed to Lave
tbem always on that they were no more
trouble to them than their own limbs.) bnt
moreover, fifteen days' provision, together
with a certain number of piles or stakes,
wherewith to fortify their camp, to sixty
pounds weight. And Marians's soldiers,
ladened to the same weight, were inured to
march in battalia five leagues in five hours,
and sometimes, upon an urgent occasion,
six. Their military discipline was much
ruder than ours, and, accordingly, pro-duced
much greater efforts. The younger
fScipio, reforming his army in Spain, or-dered
his soldiers to eat ' standing, and
nothing that was dressed. Tho jeer that
was given a I.aceda-monian soldier is
marvellously put to the matter, who, in an
expedition of war, was reproached to havo
been seen under the roof of a honse. They
were so ir.ared to hardship that, let the
weather be what it would, it was a sbame
to bo seen under any other cover than tho
roof of Heaven. " Wo should not march
our people very far at that rate," remarks
Montaigne, in concluding tho account, nor
is it likely the militia around Richmond
could Bland it longer than a week or two.
M.IKAL GRANHKIR—What is moral gran-deur?
It is tho singular combination of
:he most pure and elevated principles, and
ominont virtues, brought into action by un-common
impulses and formidable difficul-ties
and conflicts. It is not produced in the
calm stream of peaceful life, whore strug-gles
are comparatively nothing, and where
all may attain to the beauty of moral ex-cel.'
ence. It is formed in tho crisis of mor-al
convulsions. It is tho noblest energy of
man meeting with conscious rectitude, an*
purallelea" firmness, and unruffled spirit,
tho severe a^aohs of tho tremendous pow.
ers of darkness. It i» born in tho hour of
some awful civil hurricane, and nursed
amidst the tempest* of life. It rides on the
vollied lightnings of H revolution, and con.
ducts them away with safety and blessing,
its features are painted on the dark can-vass
of the retiring clouds of distress, with
all tho grace and magnificent coloring ol
tho rainbow. It holds dominion over eve-ry
evil'passion, and it is tho faultless mo-del
of self-government and unbending in-tegrity.
It is a spirit of simplicity, that
rises above, and disdains the external dec-oration
of life. It aims at the public good,
without tho alloy and pollution of selfish-nosB
; and accomplishes its lofty purposes
only by means, that the loftiest spirits of
heaven would approve. It finds nothing
in the universo to weigh against freedom
and truth. It regards tho divine law, tho
obligations of duty, tho judicial majesty of
conscience, above all tho meanaces ol peril,
the insidious eloquence of private interest,
and the tempting overture of personal ag-grandizement.
Amidst the imperious
claims of virtue and truth, it surrenders
when required, everything, and even lifo
itself as u triumphant sacrifice, without
hesitation or regret, with a firm step, a se-raphic
serenity of demeanor, and a martyr-
.like zeal and majesty.
The sea is the largest of all cemetorieH,
and its slumberers Bleep without monu-ments.
All other gravoyards in all other
lands show some symbol ot distinction be-tweon
