Mr.. Gibson, tearpentcr,) being called, test
fed that about week ago, Mr.. Elisha " WCr
siam applied 10 him TO fit the house up as Il
restaurant. lie torf the dimensions, &c. lie
took the measurements last Monday, and his
hands were how engaged in making the re
ouiS;ta drawings before commencing the work.
On Monday, while he was at the house, men
we're engaged in moving :hc furniture anu
taking mp the carpets.
The Mayor decided that all this wag irralc
want He was proceeding III this case under
The old law. Tie ten days grace al
lowed hy this new law had not expired
when The descent was made upon this house:
therefore, he cu@id not prosecute under tn"
new law. In regard to this new enactment, he
said hc was decidedly Gf opinion that thcr"
WAS :, n-orisinn in IT which the Legislature
nal ~ authority to pass. 81 far as the pen
al,icS were concerned. the law was er post fIc
TO- The law states the penalties shall be visit.
I'd upon the parties if it shall appear thai
'hrv had beer engaged in exhibiting faro ten.
iqvs previ0uS n the passage of the law. The
slaras and nrt"r property taken at the house
h" hal nnth.us 70 10 with lie would not hold
them. But tie Old law in regard to gaming
in this STATE had not been repealed. The
five gentlemen f1und there were undoubtedly
engaged in an unlawful game of cards. TIE
coming imrlcments. checks. &c. he would
hold. lie contended that there were two
kinds Of gaming. punishable, and read an c%.
.r.nt from the Code in proof OF this assertion.
lIc denied the right Of the Legislature to pass
an -. post taciD law Tho men found in the
house were not playing at Faro. Int they were
nlav;nc "8iuii" or Poker" and i,etting
enormous sums unon their respective hands.
[: is unnucs.onabiy Il violation OF the laws Of
this State to 80 into gaming house and play
cards f,.r .moary. Tie new law does not re-
peal the old one: it simply amends it.
Mr.. Crunlp-I am not so sure ol that.
A long discussion here took place between
,irc Mayor and Mr.. Crimp in regard 10 the
two laws
aIr. Crump said he did not think that Wor-
sham could be prosecuted a:en under the old
Law.
liayor-t cannot agree with yOu.
Crmmp.-Therr is not the slightest evidence
that hc was even the proprietor OF the house
p-evio:lS.s, the passage Of the new law. and !
;fink nc Sksuii. he discharged. Nothing was
:ound indicating that it was q gaming house,
except Jew fugitive 'chlps," which might ne
iound anywhere.
Mayo-.-iiave yon seen this book 2 (Itold,
in. IN the memorandum book referred 10
'abnvc.)
Crnmp -Yesl What does it mean? whose
is it whose handwriting is that? / do not
know what il means. Worsham has given IN
the house He does not stay there. He li:e.
in the country.
MayCr.-Whc GYMS the house?

But we would establish no more such during
the war. Our policy and purpose should BE- to
draw the enemy's armies rs far as possible
from the rivers-get him away into the interior
where his supplies would have TO be ,cagon>d
fifty or one hundred miles and be liable every
hour to be cut on by our guerillas or detach-
ments of our cavalry-and where TX defeated
in pitched battles he could not step into his
gunboats and thus save himself from demoli
ton as he has often done.
We cannot dispute his supremacy upon the
waters long as we have no navy. But on
land we are more than his match. Here we can
meet and vanquish him, and here we should
concentrate all our energies and compel him TO
confront us. As soon as he shall find himself
reduced TO this extremity he will sicken of the
war, for then he will know and feel, more than
he has yet known, or felt, or dreamed what AS
difficulties or harra> sments, perils and trials
actually are. Divorc. his armif s from his gun
boats-put even fifty miles between them-and
then it will be with him as IL was with Samson
when he was shorn Of his locks-for the gun
boats are to the Yankees in this war Just what
his long hair was to Samson.
Movements Of Grant in Mississippi.
The Petersburg Express of the 18th says -
The Meridian Clarion of Sunday morning
gives some information as to the movements OF
Grant, derived from gentleman who, the ed
itor sa, s, seemed TO possess accurate informa-
ton. column of the enemy, strength I'M
known, was within three or four miles of
Canton on Thursday evening. The object may
be to destroy that place and forage on the
country down to Jackson, destroying the rail-
road as they go, for the purpose OF Ranking
Johnston. Jackson is "a miles from Canton,
and the road is good one at this season OF the
that they will cross the Pearl river at a point
~ miles north by n little east of jackson, where
there excellent ford, push on to Brandon,
and thus get in the rear of Johnston.
