WE have been permitted to extract the
following from a letter received from an
officer of the Fifth Regiment, dated June
%, eight miles south of Corinth. The
writer says.
''The left wing of the Army of the Mississippi
marched for Holly Springs yesterday. The
rebels are said to be in that vicinity in consd.
cradle force. We may receive marching orders
any moment-all is uncertain. The weather is
very warm, yet the nights are cool and damp.
The Fourth Regiment, which marched from
this point yesterday with the left wing of the
army, left about $50 sick in camp. In ourregi'
ment can note about eighty on the sick list,
but none are dangerously ill.
'Since we have been encamped here the fol.
lowing is our daily routine of duty Company
and battalion drill from half past five A. M. to
half past seven; school for field officers at
brigade headquarters at nine A. M. and half
past three P. NJ. regimental school for line Of.
fcers at ten A. NJ. and two P. NJ, and brigade
drill at half past five P. NJ. You will see that
almost all my time is occupied in the discharge
of military duties. There is no playing soldier
here-it is stern reality-and it is necessary
for one to be up to the scratch every time"

Where party executes and acknowledges
a deed and afterwards either by acts or words
expresses his will that the same is for the use
of the grantee, especially when the assent of
the grantee appears to the transaction, it shall
be sufficient to convey the estate. And this
even though the deed remains in the hands of
the grantor.
No particular form is necessary in order to
constitute good delivery of q deed. This
may consist in an act without words, or in
words without any act. The main thing which
the law requires, is that the mind of the par.

other to accept the instrument.

In the foreclosure of mortgage by advertise

Sd, and published successfully once in each
week up to and including September l4th the
day of sale, Held, a sufficient publication I'M

The mortgaged premises consisted of 40
acres of land lying in three different sections,
and in two distinct townships. Three hundred
and twenty acres lay contiguous and in one
body, and eighty acres, separated from the
former by intervening lands and also in one
body. The 800 acre tract was sold in one par.
cell and the eighty acre tract iu another, Held,

WILLIAM G. THOMPSON. implicated with {
others, appellants.
A mortgage executed in the presence of on.
ly one witness is Intellectual to pass any inter-
est or estate in the land described, and is not
entitled to record. The record of such a
mortgage is no notice to any one.
The recital of such defective mortgage in a
deed of the same land by the mortgagor,
merely describing the mortgage and declaring
the deed to be subject to it, does not estop the
grantee in the conveyance of those holding un
der him from questioning the validity Of the
mortgage.
The certificate of acknowledgment to deed
or mortgage need not be under seal, unless
the statute authorizing the officer to take it
expressly requires it. If the certificate styles
the officer taking it as an officer authorized
by law to perform the act, it will be pr,ma
tacie evidence of his official character. The
statutes of this State in 1854 did not require o
seal to such certificates.
The act of the legislature of July 26th, 1858,

rights that were vested prior to its passage.
The legislature perhaps may have power to
cure irregularities in coDveyances between the

not disturb vested rights.

no cause of action, and in which the merits
were not itigated, constitutes no bar to sec.

it in the second action. is to move for stay of
