You have, in general, to deal only with those crimes and misdemeanors which are declared to be such by the Constitution or laws of the Confederate States, or by the statutes or laws of a State of the United States, which were adopted by the Congress of the Confederate States. The thirty-seventh section of the act passed by the Congress of the Confederate States, and approved on the 16th of March, 1861, provides that the laws of the United States in regard to certain crimes and offences shall be in force until otherwise provided by law of Congress. Thus, the criminal laws of the United States, having been expressly adopted by Congress, became laws of the Confederate States--that is to say, those laws of the United States which were passed before the act aforesaid. Under these laws of the United States and the criminal laws of the Confederate States, you may inquire into and present

Glowing in their hearts was that rare courage which impelled them to the defense of their homes, and the withstanding through four long years of terrible blows from the better equipped and no less determined Northern armies, which finally outnumbered them hopelessly.

At a later period (March 16, 1861) the Congress adopted resolutions recommending to the respective states to cede the forts, arsenals, navy-yards, dock-yards, and other public establishments within their respective limits to the Confederate States, etc. The hope which was early entertained of a peaceful solution of the issues pending between the Confederate States and the United States rapidly diminished, so that we find on March 6th that the Congress, in its preamble to an act to provide for the public defense, begi
