Habeas Corpus. --An important case has been decided by Chief Justice Person. In July, 1862 John N. Irvin, of Rockingham county, N. C. hired a substitute one Gadhart, who was 36 years of age, and consequently not then liable as a conscript.--He was accepted by Col. Madett and Irvin received an absolute discharge. After the passage of the law subjecting men between 35 and 45 to conscription. It was contended that Godhart was himself liable, and that, therefore, Irvin's discharge had no further effect. The Chief Justice decided that this was not the law, but that Irvin, having been absolutely discharged, was no longer liable to conscription. He says it would be different where a youth under 18 was hired since it was known to the partier when he was hired that he would be liable on arriving at 18. The consideration then faits, and the officer has no right to grant a longer discharge.

North Carolina coal. --We have seen a specimen of anthracite coal, discovered on the farm of a Mr. Wade, in Rockingham county, North Carolina. The coal appears to be very good, and has been so proven, we understand, by the proper test. The vein now worked is only six feet under ground, and is three feet thick. Col. B. M. Jones is engaged in the operation of mining this coal, and the work is progressing under the superintendence of Mr. Ambrose Barrett, a practical miner. The Upper Dan River Valley, in which the above mine is located, has been known for some years to contain a coal basin of considerable extent, and it was considered that anthracite coal was the predominant deposit. Should this impression prove to be as correct in other openings as it has in the mine of Wade's farm, the coal field of this region will be of very great value to the Confederacy.
