FALSE TELEGRAPHIC NEwa-UndeT this
heading the New York World thus
pointedly holds forth:
1t Is quite time the people Of the North
understood that the news that comes TO
us from rebel sources respecting military
operations in the West and Southwest is
the only news that they can be sure is
true. The kilograms we get from Cairo
and Memphis respecting alleged Union
SUCCESSES are almost invariably false, and
the information vouchsafed us from Off
eial circles in Washington ~ to military
operations in the West is not . whit
more reliable.
Within the past few weeks We have
been told that the YazoO Pass expedition
was Q success, which was false; that
twenty odd Transports and Z 900 men had
been captured at YAEOO City. which was
false; that Haines's Bluff had been t.
ken, and Vicksburg evacuated, which was
false that Admiral Farragut's whole
aeet had passed the Port Hudson batter.
iea, which Was false; that the IndianOla
had been re.cAptured as good as new,
which was false that the LAX" PrOvi
dence canal was "all right" which ~as
false that the famous "cut-off," was
ready for service. which was false and
Ao.lIv sshst Union feet had reached the
Yaaoo by means "fthe SunHower river:
which was also false. UH &c c::@@er hand
the confederate reports and dispatches
have proved almost invariably to be cor
rect. Much Of this accuracy is doubtless
due to the fact that the operations Of the
Union armies and fleets are in the heart
Of the enemy's country, while the Union
news depots are hundreds Of miles away
from the scene of conflict. But this fact
.alone will not account for the utter
~v0rthleakness Of Union reports. What
makes the matter worse is that they come
% us under Government ind0TSement, rs
not q word is allowed to pass over the
wires without the sanction Of . military

The first case brought on was the trial of Ameri-

this county. America ana Daniel were convicted
: of the murder: Solomon was accessory before
the fact Mr.. Norwood appeared for Daniel Amer
lea and Solomon, having no COUNSEL the Court as
signed Mr.. Nash to defend America and Mr. Turner
to defend Solomon.
The next arraignment was Lucian and Allen for
the murder Of Mr.. Isaac H. Strowd. The owners
of the slaves having refused to employ counsel,
MeSsrs. Nash and Turner were assigned by the
Court to defend the prisoners. On Saturday night
about l2 o'clock the jury returned verdict Of gull
ty as to both.
On Monday tho eve criminals were brought into
Court for sentence The Judgment of the Court was
that they be hung on Friday, the 10th day OF April
next The sentence was pronounced in most feel
ing and impressive manner, accompanied with much
good advice to the prisoners which it is to be hoped
will have salutary. effect in preparing them for
the awful fate that awaits them
new trial has been granted to Solomon. The
Court adjourned on Monday.
We learn that the Judge gave great satisfaction,
showing mind quick in its perceptions and we'll

experience.
We feel it to be our duty to disahuse the public
mind of the idea that the murder Of Messrs. Lock
