Resolutions of the Mississippi Legislature.

--The Mississippi Legislature has passed a resolution opposing the suspension of the habeas corpus act as "a precedent of a doubtful and dangerous character" This resolution is followed by another, in these words:

That in the adoption of these resolutions it is not the intention of the Legislature to impute to the President of the Confederate States any desire to arrogate to himself more power than the Constitution has conferred, and that in the opinion of the Legislature it is the duty of every patriotic citizen to uphold and maintain the said President of the Confederate States in the legitimate exercise of the constitutional powers conferred on him.
