The volunteer force Is increasing vastly
There are now III commission Q2 troops of Cav

Mr. Undertake, in the town of Fulton, below

4 YouthfUt Haceadt0ry.--A small negro boy
named William, the property Of Thos. En-
nett, was arraigned before the Mayor yester.
pay on 4 charge of setting fire to the house OF
John L. West. Mrs. West testified that the
back porch of the house was discovered to be
on fire about o'clock last Friday morning,
but was promptly extingushed. Shortly az
forwards the passage was filled with smoke,
and going up stairs, she found one OF the beds
burning. Assistance was procured and the
fire again extinguished. The boy William
was then placed to watch the room, and con-
siderable excitement prevailed on the pre-
mses Att o'clock Mrs. W. wanted the boy
for some purpose, and found him in the room
where the fire occurred. In short time
| thereafter a second bed, lin the same room,
| was discovered to be burning, ana they
| then suspected the boy of setting 1t on fire.
Mr. West testified that after the occurrences
| above narrated he tied the hoy TO table,
| when he con fessed that he had set the premi
| ses on fire; that when he went TO the well In
/ the morning, n woman. whom he did not
/ know told him ii he did not set fire TO the
/ house she would kill him, and throw him into
/ make the boy confess. A match was found In
| the bed last burnt. He subsequently, brought
| the bows master to the house, and the sams
| confession was made In hts presence
Mr. Emmett gave his boy an excellent char
acter--said he had raised him. and never knew
him TO do anything wrong Admitted that til,
boy made the confession in West's presence
hut subsequently,, when alone with him
declared that he was innocent and that the,
had extorted his statement by threats VI VIC
lence
The prisoner was remanded to be tried befor

consequence than the cap, he would fulfill the
Conditions OF the wager and take the money.

SiGre COnpicts.--In a recent communication
bv the Auditor to the General Assembly he
saws in reference to the above subject. that

a period in which crime W ls less abundant, ana
if any more than half the RI ling prices now exist

state besides the expenses of conviction and con-
contemned for sale and transportation was $685.
elU. So showing . difference between the amount
paid and the amoun; realized from their sale Ok
Sso,D73. 81.
The same officer says that the law requiring
the owner Of vicious tlave to be paid his
value when condemned for killing one of his
fellows (who may be free from crime, and
perhaps more valuable, )is apparently unequal
and unjust and tends lot only to increase
the Generalization of slaves, but TO weaken
and destroy their prudent control by masters.
"Jf the owner of slave who commits crime
! knew that he must compensate In value for GER
tain crimes of his slaves, and be deprived Of their
value in case crimes were committed, IT Is mani
fost, from the very nature OF the Interest which
any prudent man would exercise for the PFotee-
| ton Of his property, that there would be more
careful discipline, and greater restraint upon
| cious.h
There is some good philosophy in this
view of the case. In niany of the States the
owner is not allowed anything for his con-
demned slave, in Others only half oil the val
! uation of the Court, payable only In the event
of the inflictlon of punishment.

Military Decisions "A resolution has
been introduced into both branches of the
General Assembly to inquire into the expe-
diency of promptly rearranging and increas-
ing the number OF divisions and brigades
which competent military authority now re-
gard as generally too cumbrous. 1t is indis-
pensable to provide the officers with the
means of instruction in tactics /; and is espe-
cially and imperatively necessary to establish
some more effective means of instruction in
Cavalry tactics.
Speaking of Cavalry encampments, that
dis tiuguished officer, Col VIM. $ IIartiee, of
the United States Army, who was present at
the encampment near Richmond, in Novem-
ber last by invitation, said that camp of
instruct tion for the officers only, would be far
more valuable, and ii would certainly be more
racticable, than the assemblage of that force
in masses. He had assisted in one or more
States, at such encampnents, with the best
results. The officers attending them were al
lowed nay, subsistence and forage by the
State. The Adjutant General, in his report,
saws THE suggestion seems to me to be
emiiuently worthy of consideration. One or
more probably not more than two, such en-
campnents might be authorized by the Legis-
| lature, at which the Cavalry officers might
| attend voluntarily. Provisions should be
made by the State, of subsistence and forage
| for men and horses and to cover expenses of
| travel, mileage should be allowed to all the
| officers who attended and remained during the
/ period of the encampment.
