Mr.. Editor Our County Court has
just adjourned after session of barely one
week of active work. Not jury trial was
had. The like thing has no, occurred here
since the +" Small Pox Term in 1881
The war seems to have engrossed all bust
ness. Attorneys grow peaceful toward one
another, and clentless in their profession.
Clients ligh. only against the common enc
my. Five lawyers have already gone into
the army service from this County, and
others are ready 10 60 if needed. Only
some 81 new entries of cases have been
made in court this term-not so many 10
average among the 80 lawyers in the coun.
ty, as one of the Woodstock firm of attor-
neys used sometimes to have at a session.
Very many Of the old cases are now mark
ed on the docket" settled" and were il moi
for few old standing cases which no one
ever expects to try, the docket, even al
Windsor County Court, would be small in
deed. BY the way, it is matter worth
noting as historical fact, that the first case
of this kind on the Chancery Docket, ha:
been there / 8 ycars-so long that all the
property in dispute has been burned or de-
stroyed. And the first case on the Cour
Docket has been continued from tern
TO term since 1913. Verify, justice though
slow is sure! 1t is said that Addison Coun
ty Court closed its session, also, yeste rda,
after trial of four days, and that but on,
jury trial was had there. Y.

The Springfield Company.

This Company let Springfield last Satur-
day, for their rendezvous at 81. bloomsbury.
We had the pleasure of being with them
from Charlcstown to Windsor, aud we
certainly feel sure that they cannot b"
surpassed in intelligence and good soIdicry
conduct by any company in New England.
They doubtless fought the worst battle when
thai morning they separated from their
homes and those they loved SO well. There
were several hundred at the depot at
Charlrslown, TO which place they were
escorted by procession Of citizens, and
when the trains bore them away they
were many affecting scenes. Many OF the
soldiers wept, but not one hlnclird from The
duty he had taken upon himself put showed
the true spirit Of brave and patriotic men
We saw some Of them gazing at the
photograph which had been carefully placed
in little lockcts suitable for the soldiers 10
carry, and as we gazed upon this scene, we
could but feel still deeper and more IN
tense hostility TO the miserable lraItors,of our
country, who as Mr.. Douglas, truly says,
" Have been the authors of our calamity"
Once away however, they become merry
and joined in singing songs, by which we
found there were several very good sing
ers among them. The officers are Of the true
metal. Capt. Weary would not fear a
whole regiment Of Sccrssionits and no man
has more nerve and real pluck than Lieut.
Crane, and Lieut.. Floyd is not behind WE

Kentucky Journal upon the Occupation

Below We cory from the Louisville Courier,
Of The 10Th inst, the only State Rights paper
published in that city, ard the only paper nov
received here therefronl, its editorial remarks
upon the occupation Of Columbus by the Con-
fcJcrsts forces under Gen. Polk. Having
stated the reasons Of the General for hR ad-
vance, the repeated violations OF the neutrality
OF the State previously by the Fetleralists, and
their demonstration against Columbus On the
Missouri shore, the Courier prDccr1-:
That Gen. Polk was correctly informed is
proved peradvenlu.l by the extracts from the
Cairo correspondence Of me Chicago Times"
elsewhere printed. in which the intention IF
the F'edcrals 10 invads Kentucky is frankly
stated, and II Is distinctly announced that the
movement has b'cn on hand fhr some days
prior to the 9Th inst When the letter was d lifted.

grossly than they had done the neutrality of
The State. were, as stated by Gen. Polk, prt-
pairing Ia seize the lmpD!!gIt points IN Vest
ern Kentucky 10 which we have referred, and
the Confederates, informed reliably Of this
contemplated movement, by prompt action
barely anticipated their enemies.
This is the ruth of the matter. Whether
tennessee acted wisely or well is another qucs-
ton but the General commanding the Con.
tolerate forces occupied the points alluded to
not because he wished to violate the neutrality
Of this State, but because his eneuies and
ours, having already armed men on our soil,
were preparing 10 lake n position which com.
mands to some extent the city Of Memphis
and Western Tennessee.

The statement that General Kirby Smith
left the Manassas train at Gainesville Station,
on the day of The great battle Of Manassas,
and made his way thence to the battlefield,
by way of the turnpike road from Warrenton,
is corrected on the best authority. We under
stand that he debarked at the real junction
of the Manassas and Orange railroads, (about
half a mile this side Of Camp Pickens,) and
made his way thence, by direct line, to the
battlefield. Arrived there, he reported to
General Johnston, and asked for orders. He
was directed to exercise his own discretion,
and fall in where he could do the most good.
We learn that he did not consider the for
tunes of the day in that desperate condition
when he arrived, which those fond of dramatic
effect have been so accustomed to portray. On
was the contrary, the battle, though not ended,
already won. Gen. Smiths troops exchanged
som shots with the enemy, and otherwise
rendered important aid. Their arrival inspired
our own men, and added to the panic and con.
fusion Of the enemy, making their retreat the
more disastrous to them.
