If any thing were required beyond a mere inspection of the act to render this clear, it may be found in the opinion of Attorney-General Black, of the 20th November, 1860. Indeed it is a plain casus omissus. This palpable omission, which ought to have been instantly supplied, was suffered to continue until after the end of Mr. Buchanan's administration, when on the 29th July, 1861, Congress conferred this necessary power on the President. 12 U.

Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatchthe Virginia and North Carolina Irrepressible Junction P.O., Hanover county, Va., July 29 1861 Under this name it is proposed to get up a regiment of ten companies of 100 men each including officers making 1000 men. We are to wear citizens' clothes and to use such arrive as we can furnish ourselves. A pair of Colt's pistols, a bowie-knife and a double barrel gun, with Minnie ball or a good rifle; to pledge ourselves to serve during the war wherever the President may choose to place us; to serve without pay. The main object of this organization is to avenge the dean of Gen. Roberts Garnett, of Virginia, and Col Charles F. Fisher, of North Carolina. Those who wish to form such a regiment, will signify their assent by writing to men the above post-office and when we have 500 men we will report ourselves for duty, and go on increasing the number until it amounts to 1,000. The design is, that the number shall always be kept up
