President Davis (savs the South Carolinian,) has authorised our gallant lellowcitizen to extend his Legion, and to expand his command to a brigade. He will soon call for regiments and companies to fill out his number. Under its new organization the command will enter the service for the war ? The success of the Legion will no doubt cause the ranks of the brigade to hn readily filled.

Renuregard, of the Rattle of Manassas Plains, ' has at length been published by permission, or order, of Congress. It is well known that the Report was abridged hy a Committee of Con? greas, and perhaps shorn of some of its most interesting features. It presents, however, as it is, the most genoial and comprehensive account that has vet been given of the battle.? Its leading features ami details do not differ substantially Irom the elaborate newspaper reports with which the public were supplied soon after the battle occurred ; but is a better connected and more intelligible statement than any previously published. The callnnt position oorunieil t.? Ciroliim troops in the buttle, previously reported, is fully confirmed by the official account.? I Gen. Beauregard dwell* upon the important services rendered by the 4th South Carolina I Regiment (Cot. Sloan) and Cot. Hampton's Le j gion in the early part ol the duv ; says that I -the-2d South Carolina (Col. Kershaw), and the tith (Col. Cash), took a distinguished part in the battle later in the day ; and that the 3d, (Col. Williams), and 7th (Col. liacon), whether in holding their post or taking up the pursuit, discharged their duty with credit and promise A number of South Carolinians arc individually mentioned with high credit. A rich tribute is paid to the worth of the intrepid Bee and the gallant Lieut. Col. Johnston, troth of whom .were slain. Col (now General) Evans, Col. Sloan, Col. Kershaw, Col. Hampton; Col's Preston, Gist, Manning, Chesnut, (volunteer Aids to Gen. Beauregard) and other Carolinians, < are mentioned in terms of honorable distinct | tion. South Carolinians cannot but feel proud ui hip prominent place winch history muat Ui sign to our State in that ever memorable battle. (ten. Beauregard atatea that the number killed on our aide was 869?wounded, 1,488. He say* that the loan of the enemy can never be accurately known, but from reasonable deduc* tiona, niade in part from the enemiea own ret { porta, he catimalea their losa in killed,wounded aud prisoner*, at 4,600. Tne Stay Law. There aeerns to be some difference of opini ion upon the no-called Stay Law, in relation to the clans of cases embraced, or excepted, in the .Act. With this, as with all the more important Act* of our legislature, they are never fully understood until they have been construed by the Courts. The Charleston Courier has lecently published some very able editorial criti' cisms upon this Act ; Criticisms which in our judgment are just aud reasonable and which, did our spare allow, we would be pleased to republish in the Lkdokr for the edification of such of our reader* as feel an interest in this subject. We published the Act hi full aeveral weeks ago. The language of the first section is as follows : It shall not be lawful for any officer of this Htate to serve or execute any mense or final process of any of the Couits of this Htate for the collection of money, until after the expiration of the first session of the next General Assembly of this Stale, except in cases provided for in the second section of this Act, and except process lor military fines. The expressly excepted cases are, In cases of Military fines, and in cases where the debtor jiaa aJ?acou4?4, Or ia about to abscond, or remove his property from the Htate, or is fraudu' Jently disposing of the same, foe full particulars of the express exceptions, and provisions appurtenant thereto, we refer to 2d Section of the Act as before published. The implied exceptions, according to the opinion of the Courier, are ail case* arising n delicto, or for-"the recovery of damages, or to try title to property, real or personal, are impliedly excepted from the operation of the Act ?in other words, we hold that the Act was never designed to embrace such cases. The Courts are therefore still open for all suite in IrflOAfiV Off Allttfilnit is* '* , ? ? B ... (( HI nnu to try the title to property, euch u ejectment, trrtpM to try title, detinue and trover ; hut, even in thoee caeca, after Judgment recovered, 'all etecnOona or Anal proceaa (or the collection of mo ncy, are within the prohibition of the ' Art." After the paaaage of the Act, and before the aetne wee publiahed, we think the pa pen reported a resolution aa having been adopted by the LegiaUtore, to the effect that the oivll Docrete ahotiM not be called by the Courte pending .the operation of the Stay Law. If there la audh a resolution upon record, and the Courte are ftiepoeed to regard |t, there can be I Ik ? I % no judgment obtained, either in the expressly or impliedly excepted cases as long as the Stay Law is in operation. Distress warrants, or levies for rent, as they do not issue "from any of the Courts of this State," are not piohibited by the Act ; and by implication, neither nre Writs of Replevin, or Buits constituting the remedy for wtongful or illegal distress. It is a question with some whether the collection of executions for Taxes in favor of the State, aie stayed. The Courier holds (and we believe justly) that the Act does not interfere | with the usual remedy against defaulting Tax ..... v.uva.iu.i IUI imCS, MIOUgll B | process for the collection of money, is not a 1 process issuing from any of the Court1 of thi* , State ; and hence they are not prohibited by tbe Act. The Courier devn te9 a lengthy article to j show that the Law is unconstitutional. Thcro can scarcely be a doubt but that the Law is j repugnant to both our State and Confederate ! Constitutions, each of which provides that no ; law shall be paassd ''impairing the obligation 1 of contractm and if this is not such r. law. it j would be difficult to conceive the true meaning of the constitutional prohibition, liut notwith! standing we believe it is unconstitutional and that the Courts would so regard it, we should dislike to see, at this time, any effort made to test I ihe question. The Legislature,in passing this law | heaikened to the almost unanh -ous wish of the j | people, and we should regret to see a law, made j j under such circumstances, at least for the brief j space it is intended to operate, (about }2 j I months) disturtied by constitutional objections, j ; What the Yankees are doing on Hilton Head. The following extracts from letters written at Hilton Head Island to Northern newspapers, | will be found interesting : Hilton Head, January 20 Though we have settled down in our places here, nnd have fortified ourselves so that we tnay remain here till doomsday for I all the forcea Seeea?ion may bring agnst us; yri <>ur n^grcssim icuuenciea lire 1101 III nil deadened, and ortr commanders, unless I I am greatly mistaken, art* nnl yet satisfied with the work they have done in carrying the Slurs and Stripes into the Southern territory.

WAR NEWS. From Richmond. Richmond, February 4?The Yankee tlomuiissioneM, Fish and Aines, appointed by the Northern Government to visit tlie i prisoner* of war in the South, are now nt Fortress Monroe,en rou/cSouth. The Government hero lis* decided not to allow them to carry out their "mission" or to come Sou th at all. M. De Bibinn, a French suhject, resident in Wilmington, N. C.. and Mr. Kerr, of Savannah, arrived at Norfolk on Sundav. M. De Bibinn was arrested Inst summer as a ae-' cession ist and sent to Fort Lefayetle.? Through the inlervention'of the French Minister nt Washington, he was finally released, but was rofiiicd permission to return to Wilmington. He obtained, however, n passport to go to Europe. Seward had endorsed on it: "It is understood that M. De Bibinn is not to enter nnv of the insur rectionary States." M. De Bibinn went to Paris nnd sought nn ioterview with the Emperor, to whom he showed Seward's endorsement. The Emperor decided that he should be allowed to return to his place of business, nnd the French Minister of Foreign Affairs prepared the necessary papers for the French Minister nt Washington.? With these, M. De Bibinn returned, and again npplied to Seward for a passport to Wilmington He wns ngnin refused. Next day. however, the French Minister called on Seward nnd showed the papers sent by Thouvenel. when the desired psssport was immediately granted. M. De Bibian has applied to the Rump Congress for damages. A deapnleh from nn nuthentie source savs that 15 officers nnd 380 privates would be released from Fort Warren and leave Boston for Fortress Monroe on the 3d inst.? Our merchant seamen, now in durance, would also be released. At the last accounts received from Pnm lico Sound, none cf Buinside's vessels could be seen there. From Tennetaee Nasrvili.k.

Advices from Washington to the Sd inat., aUte that a general exchange of prisoners, including privateersmen, will aoon be consummated. Seward has already ordered a large number to be liberated, and others are to fol low at an early day, to be aent South. A number reached Norfolk laat night. The recent English new* i* causing much commotion in I.incolodom. Seward think* there is no danger of hostilities with England. He has published a letter saving that he allowed the British troops to pass through Maine from promptings of ho. manity. The bark Trinity left Boston Sunday with three hundred and eighty of the rank and file, including eleven officers of Confederate Drisonera for Kurtm.. \t,,?r,... I~ be exchanged. Tho Canadian papers nro discussing tho policy of annexing Maine to Canada. The New York Herald eays the policy of the Federal Government is to greatly accel rate the erection of fortifications at Portland, and other points. The number of British troops now in Canada is estimated at fourteen thousand. Eighteen hundred bales of Cotton reached New York on Sunday, from Liverpool. Tito Herald fears unless the Federals obtain a series of victories within sixtv or ninety days, the European Powers will recognize the Southern Confederacy, destroy tho blockade, and entail a double war on tho Federals. Northern pnpers generally urge the Governors to call out a quarter million of troops, in view of tho threatening appearance of lite European Powers. Tho Journal of Commerce thinks the state of foreign affairs authorizes tho gravest solicitude for the future. Another expedition is fitting out at Cairo, the destination of which is unknown. *The Federal man-of-war Vincennes is soon to leu\e New York for Port Royal. She is to be used as a store ship. More English troops have reached Cans da. Tho London Herald says n Southern victory and the ultimate succe** of the South is certain. It presents a gloomy picture for tho North. The English pnpers stnto that numerous lottera have been received in that country from responsible Northern sources, praying foreign intervention on the score of humanity Uenernl llnlleck has ordered the conflict!'ion of Governor Jackson's property in Missouri. He has also ordered a number of liia mutinous troops to Cairo to work on the fortifications there. It is reported that the influence of the Hon. Alfred Rlv with Lincoln and Seward, has caused the release of a great number of Confederate prisoners, including the placing of the privateers now imptisoned in New York and Philadelphia, on an equal footing with prisoners of war. Toe result will certainly be a very general exchange of prisoners. Among the Confederate prisoners already arrived at Norfolk are ('apt. N. I). Farley, of Get). lionhain'a Staff and Lieutenant T. II Ilaiudone, of the Seventh South Curolina Regiment. Norfolk. February 7?We have received Northern papers of the 5lh init. President Davis has informed Lincoln, by flag of truce, that, in the event of tho Missouri bridge burners of Piice'a army being hung, he will order Col* Corcoran, Wilcox, Lee and others, to be hung in retaliation. A scouting party of Yankees are snid to have advanced to Occoquan on Monday, and thero to have had a brush with our pickets, four of whom the Yankees claim to have killed. Gen. Wool is very much puzzled what to do with his contrabands," he finds great difficulty in taking care of them in camps. He has at last appointed a military com. mission to provide for their wants. A corps of artillerymen are being formed in New York for the protection of the coast of that Slate. The Philadelphia people are very busy about a naval expedition to he fitted out ftom that city ngainst the South* ern coast. Maine ia to be fortified at the expense of the State, the money spent ia to be hereafter reimbursed by the Washington Government. The Boatoniana held a great meeting in Fanenil Hall, the other day, to lake measures for the release of Colonel Corcoran. IMPORTANT FROM EUROPE. Richmond. February 2.?The New York Herald of the let, aaye that the steamship Africa has arrived at that port,bringing En' ropean advicet. of the 19th ultimo. A coalition is about being formed be twern England and France for an armed intervention in American nflairs. The allie* vehemently object to the stone fleet and blockade of Charleston, and the blockade will probably be impugned by the European powers, with a view to ita annii.ila tion. The Herald saya that England openly espousea the Anglo-French intervention, with a view to the pacification of the Federala and Confederates. The English journals indicate that a speedy objection will be made to the blockade. The Herald'< Paria correspondent saya that Napoleon will lead in the matter. Mason and Slidell are anxiously expected in Paris. England ia progressing iu developing her immense naval and military force in Ameri* ea. Admiral Panes will join Admiral Milne .i u.ur..

At the Louiiville Courier truly remarka, the day of trial haa euone. In a few daya ?perhapa aooner?the gathered hoete of the Uaurper and Deapot are moving forweed from the Atlantic to the Mieaieaippi, Nothing but the special interposition of AN mighty God ean avert the horrible consequences of great battles fought. Hoon the boom of cannon will past from hill-top to hill top along the vast line of military operations ; and the rnttle of musketry, the clash of bayonets, tbe shrieks of the wonnj ded and the groans of the dying, the shouts ; of the victors nud the curses of the vanquished, and high above all the wall of the widows, and the cry of orphans, will fill the intervening valleys ; and be the result what it may, the land will be clothed in gloom, covered with desolate homes and filled with suffering. This is the day of trial. If the grand armies now being pressed forward by the enemy be beaten, the war will beat nn end I .UVIUCI ruuitiu urusil QUk Ilie OOUlll will I not be tnudo. It one or more of them shall i be successful, the contest will bo renewed | with redoubled fury everywhere, new life will be given to the war, nud new scenes ot blood will burst upon the startled vision. J The disaster at Drainsville and the repulse | of Crittenden admonish us thnl the conflict j must be bloody and desperate, that at many places it will be doubtful, and that we should be prepared for reverses and at least partial defeats. The great strategic positions occupied by the Confederate (Junerals can never be taken by the enemy. Howling (Jreen, Columbus, nnd Manassas, we believe, can defy the numbers, skill, and resources of tho North, now and forever. Bift there are in. lervening points, important, but not vital, w here our defences are weak,nnd our means I of resistance inadequate ; nnd at these, the I Federals may achieve such successes as ! will give encouragement to the people of their section, sustain the Administration for a time, nnd stimulate their generals to renewed efforts to bind upon their brows lite laurels of victory. There is bloody work to bo done. I.et none underestimate il? importance or Its difficulties. Let every heart bo steeled and every muscle sot ; for the danger is at hand the day of trial is upon us, and wo must be worthy of the cnose wc hnvo espoused, or pay the penally in the horrors of a prolonged contest brought nearer to our home.
