ToPoGRAPHY OF HAMPTON RoADs.-Hamp-
ton Roads, says the Petersburg Express, is
tl.., s,assEs ,si, ca otIe Uroud expanse otwat-
er between the mouth Of James river and
the entrMce into Chesapeake Bay. New
port News Point, on the North side OF the
river, Pig Point on the South, at the
junction of the Nansemond with the
James, may be considered as the mouth
of the James Between these two points
the distance is about five miles. Craney
Island lies at the mouth Of Elizabeth river,
some six or seven miles east Of Pig Point.
Sewalls Point is about the same distance
| North Of Craney Island. These four
points therefore form very nearly a par
allelogram. Old Point is five miles North
of SewalPs Point. Along the Northern
shore of the Roads, II is believed that no
batteries have been erected; and the Fed
eral troops may be disembarked without
any resistance. II the reduction Of
Richmond is the object, as the signs seem
to indicate, the march Of the Federal
army from Newport News will be ninety
miles. Butwhether the invasion is made
with one column, or twoor three columns,
II will require an army Of overwhelming
force and in the highest state Of discip-
line, TO cut its way TO the Metropolis.
Whether Scott and Lincoln have such an
army at their command, our readers can
| Judge as we'll as we but for our part We
do not believe they have. When the at
tempt is made, the peninsula between tn,
! York and James will be watered will

The State.
The plaintiff in error prosecutes this
writ to reverse the judgment Of the Cir
cult Judge refusing him bail on writ OF
habeas corpus.
Tho record shous that~ che piainuu
in error is confined in the Jail of War
rem county, under two indictments
for murder, originating out OF the
same transaction. The record further
shows that the plaintiff in error was tried
on one of said indictments in the Circuit
! Courtof Warren county, before q jury,
which resulted in the discharge OF the
Jury, because they were unable to agree
on a verdict.
After careful examination of the cases
presented to us, in this record, we have
determined that bail should have beer
allowed the plaintiff in error in bott
cases.
The grounds of our judgment we deem
it proper to withhold, as the cases are t
undergo examination before Court anC
Jury, whose province it will be to deter
mine upon the guilt or innocence OF tn
accused.
We again repeat what was said by thi
Court in Moore VS.. The State 30 Miss
r. u. l42. that 1--WE wish il understood tha
) on applications for ball. weNmay grant tn
! application even in cases where the jur
! might and perhaps ought, on the sam
s evidence to render a verdict Of guilty
S for murder. So much depends on tn
e incidents of trial by jury, the manne
y of the witnesses, their intelligence, the
e seeming bias or fairness, that cannot b
brought before this Court, which "
should have a material bearing on II
weight Of evidence, that we deem it u
- safe, that the opinion of the High Cou
in granting or refusing bail, should
: adopted as criterion for the jury
! which to determine the guilt or inn
4. cence Of the accused.
- In the case before us we do not intel
IL to intimate any opinion as to the guilt
/, innocence of the party accused.
80 Let the judgment be reversed, and t
= defendant admitted to bail upon his
% tering into recognizance before the Shei

the sum of ten thousand dollars with o
good securities, jointly and severally IN

OF the plans Of the Southern Generals,
no one knows, nor can foresee They are
purposely deceiving the Dictator" by
sending reliable men North, instructed to
state the most lamentable state Of affairs
in the Southern army. You have un-
doubtedly has specimens Of this "milita-
ry diplomacy" by telegraph One senti-
ment, however, is unanimous, and per-
vades all classes, and that is, when Gen,
Lee does strike, hundreds of those who
have crossed the Potomac will never re-
turn, and
every sod beneath the feet
win he a soldiers .sepulchre,"
The confidence in Gen. Lee is unbound

standard, in the firm belief that they vii
not be sacrificed to ignorance, incapacit!
and inexperience.

citizen Of this State''-"being q house :
holder and having family"-who shall
be entitled to hold exempt from seizure
or sale under execution, &C., "the land
and buildings owned and occupied as a
residence by such debtor" &C., 'and such
exemption shall continue after the death
Of such householder, for the benefit of
the widow and family of the deceased,
some or one Of them continuing 10 occu-
py such homestead until the youngest
child shall become twenty.one years Of
age, and until the death Of the widow"
II appears very clear, from the phrase
ology of this statute, that the right of ex-
emption was only intended TO be given so
long as the debtor during his life, or some
one Of his family after his death, should
continue to occupy the premises rendered
exempt. First, the right is given TO q
person "being householder and having
q family, 10 extend 10 aho land and
buildings owned and occupied as a resi-
denoe by such debtor, and then, it is to
continue after his death, for the benefit
of his widow and family" some or one of
them continuing to occupy such home
stead" The object maniiestly was, TO Sc
cure a home and means of support to
the debtor and his family but not to
render the property exempt when it was
not occupied by them, or some one of
them after his death as their place of resi-
denoe. Consequently after the sale and
abandonment of possession Of it, the
right Of exemption was at an end, and
the rights Of Judgment creditors prior to
the sale, would attach.
The demurrer to the bill should, there
fore, have been sustained and the bill dis
missed.
Let the decree be reversed and the
bill dismissed. HANDY.

against such occurrences the late arrest of the
two Kentuckians in Ballard county by armed
rufians from Cairo and the subsequent capture
of the steamer Terry by Federal troops, and un-
less the Governor would grant such protection,
they would seek it from the Confederate States.
The same paper also states that Magoffin, tele-
graphically, profered the aid required, instruct
