STEAM PowER.-Very few of our readers
have any idea of the number of first
class ocean steamers which, released from
Government service since the end of the
war, have been bought by private indi-
yiduals and companies, and are now en-
gagged in the carrying trade between New
York and the various Southern cities.
There are now plying between New
York, and New Orleans thirty three ocean
steamers; Charleston, eleven; Whining
ton, nine; Savannah, nine; Mobile, six +;
Newbern, six; Richmond, five; Calves
ION, four, &c. There are at this time
more than one hundred strong, new and
we'll built steamers engaged in this bust
ness, with an aggregate tonnage OF
49, 500. ay
The New York papers state that there
are now not less than three hundred yes
sells, steam and sail, profitably engaged In
conveying freight and passengers to and
| from the city of New York alone to the
various SEAPORT towns of the South. NC
| estimate is here made of the trade OF Bal
timore, Philadelphia, Providence, Boston
&c, with the South.

THE New JUDICIAL SYSTEM OF MIssIs
New Orleans Picayune. thus
sums up the operations of the new ju-
dicial system in Mississippi:
One of the peculia measures employed
by Governor Shirley, of Mississippi, to
Professionally reorganize that State, was
to create a Court at the city of jackson,
to try cases of disputed cotton and other
property, the possession and ownership
of which had become separated in the
vicissitudes of war and the disorders
which have succeeded in the interreg-
aum between past and present civil gov
eminent. TO this place he appointed the
III on. Geo. I. Swami, for many yeare
Senator from Rankin and for some time
back residing in jackson. aro
1t was found that this court was so ex-
ceedingly useful that the late convention
not only gave it legitimacy, but created
two other similar courts, one, to sit in
Meridian, in Lauderdale county, under
Judge johnson, of Marshall, and the
other at okhayen.. in Lawrence
county, which is presided over by Judge
w. A Stone, of Copiah.
| Tothese courts is given q mixed Law
and equity jurisdiction, their adjudica-
tions beng confined by no technical rules
either of pleading or practice: but the!
are simply required to do justice in th'
premises.
Perhaps in the organization of thes'
courts the distinguished jurist who is TIT
provisional head of the State Govern
ment there, will have mapped out for hi
State a new system, whose practica
| workings will prove him to possess thu
telninent abilities as a legislator which h
has already shown himself to possess
q Judge.

KILPATRIcK's CoNFIscATIoN.-It will be
rememb cred that Gen. K fitzpatrick wss
confined in the Old Capitol Prison for
"confscating" mules and forgetting to
siturn them over" to the Government
Last June, at Ru9lers Commencement, he
Dragged to two State Senators that he
had horse in his stable at DickertowA
that could outrHn any horse in the State.
He said tha the ''confiscated" him from
Col. VIM. Aston, of South Carolina, but
he wasn't such q did TOOL as to turn
him over TO the Government" We now
learn from the Sussex Herald that ''two
fne thorough breds, captured" by Gen.
Kilpatrick in South Carolina, will be at
the Fair, and compete in the running
matches" The General has O meeting
| there during the Fair Do these horses
belong TO Aston. .K1patlick. or the Gov
