Legal decision on a substitute case in North Carolina.

The first decision under the law of Congress conscribing the principals who had hired substitutes was made by Judge French, of Lumberton, N. C., on Friday last, in a case of habeas corpus from Moore county.--The Judge affirms the constitutionality of the law, and remands the applicant to the the Enrolling Officer. It appears to be sustained by the analogous decision of the highest Courts of North Carolina and the United States.
