to make them wholly selfsupporting. Opposition on the part of the better and influential class of white people had diminished when Swayne made his annual report, and a manly purpose on the part of the freedmen toward self-help and independence was evident. Somebody, however, must organize in new fields and instruct the freedmen in their duty and interest. The General cited several instances of good disposition and success. At Mount Moriah, six miles from Mobile, lived a colored man, Edward Moore, who had built a log schoolhouse at his own expense, putting it on his own land. In this he was teaching 52 pupils. This school the freedmen supported. Again, at Selma, B. S. Turner, himself a prosperous and representative freedman, was helping his friends and neighbors by eloquent words and by money out of his own earnings to secure school advantages to the children. His brief speech to an inspector was recorded: Let us educate, let us make sacrifices to educate ourselves, in this ma

recollection is that on the 9th of May the engineer officers, with General M. L. Smith at their head, went over the line and considered it safe with artillery, and with this we were at once supplied —two batteries of four guns each. On May 10 Sedgwick's corps broke through Rodes' line to our left, and penetrated some distance in our rear, but after severe fighting the enemy was driven back and our lines were restored. I was not present on that occasion, as General Johnson had sent Major Ed. Moore and myself back to get our headquarter wagon which had broken down and been abandoned on the march from the Wilderness on the 8th. On May 1, however, General Lee, with General Smith visited our lines, and were of opinion, as I was informed that they could be held with our artillery. On that day General Johnson, with several members of his staff, including myself, went in front of our lines beyond the Landrum house, which was outside of our skirmish line, and no signs of the enemy were

Case for consideration. --Six months ago a fellow calling himself Edward Moore was convicted before the Hustings Court and sentenced to six months imprisonment in the city jail, for attempting to pick Col. John Dickinson's pocket on the cars. After the fellow had been in jail several months, a requisition was received from Wm.F. Packer, then acting as the Governor of the State of Pennsylvania, claiming the prisoner, under the name of Edward Livingston, as a fugitive from justice, he having committed a petty larceny in Berks county, in that State. The man's term of imprisonment expires on the 18th. Since he has been in jail the political status of the country has been changed. Virginia is now a foreign country, so far as Pennsylvania is concerned. Whether the man shall be given up or not, in the absence of a treaty on that subject between the custodians of his person, is a matter of discretion with Gov. Letcher. He may or may not be given up. Being under duress he could be d

Mayor's Court. --The following cases were before the Mayor yesterday morning: Enoch Pelton, a member of the 11th Virginia cavalry, was charged with stealing a horse from Camp Lee, which had been sent there by Lieut. Edward Moore, of the 5th South Carolina cavalry. Officer Jenkins found the animal in Granville Montelle's stable, on Wednesday night where it had been deposited by Pelton. The accused, who was arrested in the kitchen on the same premises, admitted that the horse had been brought to Montelle's by him, but denied that he was the property of Moore. Two witnesses, however, positively identified the animal as that gentleman's property, whereupon the Mayor sent the prisoner on for further examination before the Hustings Court. Investigation of the charge against Joshua Owens, of stealing a gold watch and chain, worth $3,000, from Capt. William Clarkson, was postponed till Tuesday next. Owena worked himself into the good graces of Capt, Clarkson a few nights
