Important Decision.

At the June term of the Circuit Court in
Harrison county, West Virginia, the Grand
Jury, under the instructions of Judge Thos.
w. Harrison, found presentments for larceny
against those Of the citizens Of that county
who had been engaged in the rebellion and
had returned to their homes Twelve per-
sons were 50 presented, namely: Judge Cam
den, u. NJ. Turner, FL Ell Lee, William P.
Cooper, r. G. Davis, William L. Corley, s.
NJ. Sommers, Robert Borgess., R. Il. Cow
all, John T., Cowan, James A. Horner and
William Smith. The Judge issued bench
warrants for their arrest, and on Tuesday Of
last week they were arrested and taken be-
fore Justices Wcrninger, Wright and Ross
for examination upon the charge Of larceny
for the taking Of horses by Jones men at
the time of the Clones raid" The exami-
nation was concluded last Thursday, and re-
suited in the discharge of all the accused
parties, the Justices being unanimousin opin-
ion. The several points Of law, both COM
mon and international, involved in the cases
were argued at great length, and we are
promised at an early day a full history Of the
proceedings. AS similar prosecutions have
been set on foot against other parties in yarl-
Gus portions of this State, these eases afford
a valuable precedent, and the arguments up
on which the decision was based will prove.
matter of much public interest. = Wheeling

A Literary Place.

Charlottesville is fairly entitled to be call
ed the literary centre Of the South. There
is, first, the University Of Virginia, with its
learned professors on all sorts of subjects. -
Then we have two large Female Summaries,
where young ladies learn thirty or forty things
ending in-ology. Then we have some half
dozen first class Academies for boys. Then
several Select Schools. Then a number Of
schools for the English branches. And then
the whole colored population Of all sexes and
ages is repeating from morning to night ABB
alb, e-b-eb, ID; c-a-t-cat d-o-g-dog
c-u-p-cup &c---through all the varieties
of the first lessons in photography. There
are some four or five colored schools, and
little negro chaps darken every door with
primers in their hands If we pass black
smith shop, we hear a-b--ab; if we peep in
| to shoenlaker's shop, it is a-b-ab; if we
pass by a negro cabin in the suburbs of town,
| we hear the sound a-b--ab; if the cook goes
out to suckle her infant, it is a-b-ab; the
| dining-room servant washes up his dishes
and plates, crying a-b-ab (; the hostler cur
ries his horse, repeating a-b-ab; Jerry
blacks your boots, saying, with rapid strokes,
| a-b-ab- a-b-ab ;--the whole air is reson-
ant with a-b--ab. The little yellow boy who
sleeps in our chamber awoke us the other
night, muttering in his dreams a-b-ab. Mr..
Greedy has stirred up thunder here. Ifyou
send a little negro boy on an GRAND, he is
spelling everything he meets in one syllable.
The little white boys look at them wonder
ingly, and try to cork them. In month Oh
50 we expect to issue an evening edition OF
the CHRONICLE in monosyllables, to increase
our circulation perhaps pictorial, with
tubs and spades, and ants and COWS, and
owls and bats-like the primcrs.-Chrons-

Letter from Lieutenant Gen. Scott.

We find the following in the New York
Herald:
In the Herald Of yesterday, it is said -
Lieutenant General Scott, then at the head
Of the United States army, had written let
ter to Mr. Seward, dated March Sd, 1861,
clearly intimating that, in his opinion, the
better policy was to let the erring sisters
(seceding States) depart in peace" sos
This is a Misrepresentation. In that letter
declared on its face to be supplemental to
one of the preceding October addressed to
President Buchanan-Gen Scott suggested
four methods of dealing with secession, Of
which that quoted by the Herald is the last
The reduction of the seeded States by arms
was his third measure, the first and second
indicated in his two letters addressed to
Messrs Buchanan and Seward respectively

More Fuss TRAN Feathers.

The Philadelphia Pennsylyanian had the
following good story among its police re-
ports:
AS Mrs. Stransbury, residing in a court
running from Race, below Sixth street, was
about to bring bucket Of water from the
hydrant last night, she found an old basket
suspended from the knob of the front door. -
| Putting her hand in the basket, she felt
something alive and kicking, but so wrapped
up in the rags that no farther discovery could
! be made without unwrapping the object. A
piece of paper, folded like a letter, lay by the
side of the animated bundle. Mrs. STRAINS
bury Immediately returned into the house,
and by the light Of the lamp examined the
billet. 1t was directed to. her husband. She
TREMENDOUSLY broke the seal and read as fol-
| lows:
s'To JOE SrRANsBURY Sir: / send you
the baby, which you will please take good
care of, and bring up right so that it may
turn out to be better man than its daddy.
Oh, Joseph! what sly old rake you are -
| Who would think that such a sober old spind-
-leshanks could be such a tearing down sinner |?
! The child is yours-you may swear to that
Look at tit is Joe Stransbury all over.
You deceived me shamefully, Joe-letting
on to be widower! But do a fathers duty
by the young one, and I'll forgive you.
| Your heart-broken. Fl NANCY" i
.:P. S. Don't let that sharp nosed wife Of
yours see this letter, Cannon her with some
kind of story about the baby. F
| Mr.. Stransbury was in the basement
kitchen, quietly eating his supper, and little
imagining what storm was brewing over
head. The door of the kitchen was violently
/ thrown open, and his wife's voice yelled OUT
''Stransbury, come up here, you vilin =
| Here's q mess for you!'' -. III
The astonishcd Stransbury hastily obeyed
1 the summons. .f94+ a <& fs@o,
ssDon't you want to see Nancy. the heart
broken Nancy Y cried Mrs Stransbury, when
her guilty husband hobb]ed up into the room.
T "Nancy what Nancy's that?' said the sly
old rogue, in wcll-figned astonishment.
'Why, Nancy the mother Of this baby
that's been hung up at the door, Mr.. Strans-
bury! Oh, you look mighty innocent, but
just read that letter, and then look into that
basket! Don't be afraid-it won't bite its
got no teeth, poor thing You'll know it
for as the hussy says, It's just like YOU all
over. Please goodness I'll expose you before
everybody
In less than FIVE minutes, Mrs Stransbury
had collected room full Of spectators--half
the inhabitants of court-to witness the pro-
cess of unwrapping the baby. Anxious ex-
pectation sat on every countenance, as the
jealous lady tore away rag after rag from the
body of the foundling, the vigorous move
ment of which astonished everybody. eft is

Confederate oflcers IN new York.

We find the following paragraph in a New
York letter to the Charleston Courier:
Sometimes the penniless southerner, turn
ed adrift in this great city, meets with the
good Samaritan. A pleasing instance has
come to my observation Several of our
South Carolina officers among them GEN
eral, who had just been released from prison,
were passing through New York, and were
sojourning here for few days, while await
ing transportation home. One day they were
on a Fulton ferry boat, when they were ac-
costed by gentleman who asked if they
were Confederate officers, as their dresses in
dicatcd. He gave them the card of wealthy
lady, living i'll a handsome mansion up town,
with an invitation to visit. That evening,
to their surprise, carriages called at the hotel
door for them. They were transported to the
home Of their lady friend, received with the
greatest hospitality, and taken into room
where the finest and most costly clothing
was stored, and from which they were en-
treated to fully replenish their wardrobes
During their stay in New York, they ware
the recipients Of the most generous attentions
from their benefactress, and when they were
ready to start, their pockets were well lined
with greenbacks. The good lady even went
so far as to request the gentlemen to make
out lists Of such small necessary articles as
their wives might require, and she employed
two days riding in her carriage from shop to
shop, filing the orders

4 Good Joke.

The New York H1uzd tells the following,
which holders of sschccks' in Richmond will
appreciate:
"When New Orleans was under the do
minion of jeff Davis it was common prac-
tice with many of the saloon-keepers to issue
promises to pay in sums ranging from PIC
ayme all the way up to. a dollar, to make
good the scarcity of municipal or Confederate
currency Among the rest who tried their
hands at this sort Of fnanciering was re-
staurant-keeper, who issued something like
hundred thousand dollars worth. When Gen
eral Butler arrived at New Orleans he did
not like these private banking institutions,
! and gave the parties to understand that they
must call in their shinplasters- that is, they
must redeem them as soon as possible. Our
friend, who kept bar, suddenly shut up
shop, sold out to John Hawkins, converted
his movables into greenbacks Or gold, and
before any considerable number of his credi-
tors were aware Of it, was on board steamer
for New York, where he arrived in due sea-
son. He at once opened a saloon near the
Broadway Theatre, doing a good business.
The war came to an end, and, in course of
time, good many New Orleans folks, old
! Confederate acquaintance, found their way
back to New York DESTROYS Of renewing
old acquaintance, a party Of them the other
evening paid him visit. With mutual re-
coenition there was deal Of handshaking
and congratulation all around. The New
Orleans boys called for several bottles Of Mad
| Cliquot's best, and drank with mine host to
the 'sdays of auld lang syne," paying for it
in green-backs. Then they called for more
champagne, and more and more, until about
J one hundred dollars worth had been quahfed,
when all hands proposed to go home. The
observation-disclosures intimated that, as proper
preliminary, the boys had better settle up
/ The boys took the hint, and paid the old fell
low off in his own coin; that is to say, they
pulled out of their pockets a handful Of his
repudiated Confederate shinplasters and in
formed him that it was now good time to
redeem them. He looked unutterable things.
He ssdidn't understand" He wasn't re-
deeming these notes now;" he really could
not take them : he ''must have pay for his
wine, in the midst of his meditations, the
wicked Orleanoise, in body, executeda for
ward movement, and with provoking dis
! play of digits on nasal promontories, were
soon marching up Broadway singing, "Whc
