disturbances, sat no bread, cost no money. We had rather hear of one hundred thousand dead Yankees than of one single Yankee prisoner. There is but one thing in this telegram which is displeasing to us. It is the little sentence "The Yankee wounded and dead were still lying in front of our entrenchments." --There is an awful Vicksburg twang throughout this sentence. When we read it we seem to be carried back three weeks, and to have before the works of Vicksburg the attacking army of Grant and the defending army of Pemberton. It will be recollected with what unction the telegraph rolled the sweet morsels under its fiery tongue — how it told of piles of Yankees lying dead before our works — how it discoursed of the horrid stench exhaling from their petrifying carcases — how we were continually repelling the barbarians and reddening the earth with their gore — how with scarcely a change of tone, it suddenly told us that Vicksburg was fallen, that its garrison were prisoners, t

pinion ourselves. The last news it gives us from Jackson is encouraging, as far as it goes, but the public taste has been so highly stimulated of late by accounts of wholesale slaughter in pitched battles and the surrender of entire armies, that it will scarcely endure any narrative which deals with less than five or six thousand corpses and an equal number of captives. A few years ago, when we thought Bethel a great pitched battle, and the carnage of Manassas not second to the carnage of Waterloo this narrative would have electrified the Confederacy. But the taste for blood prows with indulgence, and men become every day more like wolves, as they give way to the growing appetite. We should much rather have heard that one hundred thousand Yankees had been slain than that a poor, paltry thousand had bitten the dust. If men accuse us of Lycanthropy for expressing such a sentiment, we care not a farthing. We are getting savage, with the rest of our countrymen, and we confess to a sp

The facts of the case, as related in Court, are these.--Some few months since, parties in this city holding three notes against Bell, Pace, Lavender & Co., of New York, and two against Patterson & Bro., of New York, took steps to have them collected through the agency of a moneyed firm in Richmond.

Morgan returned to this city last Monday and visited his banker, but made no inquiry about the notes which he had deposited. On Tuesday he met Farr, and told him he had $1,100 for him, the proceeds of the sale of the goods he had brought on for Farr. He also said he had the notes — that Captain Dickinson, of Maryland, had stolen the latter bag, and that he (Morgan) had gotten possession of the notes. So much for the facts. Morgan proved a good character by those who had known him in Maryland. The counsel for the prisoner raised the question, that if the notes had been stolen, of which there was no proof, no theft could have been committed, inasmuch as the Federal and Confederate Governments were belligerent Powers, and the obligations of citizens of the Federal Government posses
