On last Tuesday afternoon, while our
County Court was in Session, it became
necessary for the Clerk TO be out for a
few moments, and on returning he found
no Commissioners, and they have not
been seen or heard from since. Various
speculatIons are indulgeo in as to their
whereabouts, and much anxiety for their
Safety is felt. Many suppose that the
great Presligitator, Haskell, Ambidex-
spirited them away. ANY IN
formation, which may lead to their dis
cOvery, will be greatfully received at the
Clerks Office, and no questions asked,

$40 nm DAMAGES.

A jury of Knox county returned verdict
Of 10000, on Monday last, In tayor Of the
heirs II Sam. Pickens, deceased, and against
Sneed, Crozier and Reynolds, three leading
rebels, and men Of property. Judge Pickens
was State Senator, and a man ofeome sixty
five years, and by bis arrest and treatment,
and confinement In the dead Of winter, died
In prison. His wife, Of similar age, VAS
brought 10 premature gTnve, because Of the
imprisonment of her husband. 1t was in
proof before the Court, that when Flckens
marched through the streets In custody,
Sueed sale, tsGod d-n him. he ought to be
hung and uuartered." It was In proof that
Crozjer wrote certain in1amnatorJ editorials,
which were published in the Register, against
.Plckens, Hodgesden and others. And it Was
IN proof TINT Reynolds, the rebel commission
er. ineul ingly refused Pickens counsel, while
going through mock Investigation.
These three men we're all lawyers, and knew
better than to conspIre AGAINST the lives and
property Of law-abidlng Unton men: sneed
ind Crozier are E1-Mcmbers6f the American
Congress, and Reynolds is m Ex-Paymastcr

taken an oath to support the Constitu' ion Of
The United States. Instead OF keeping that

against the lives OF loyal men, subscribing

One Of the most singular. events We have
ever 1ecol ded occurred In the family of Mrs
E. Gibbs, Of Dunleith. on Tuesday evening.
1t Is q case that is as mysterious as 1t Is
strange. and all who have heard Of 1t. both

nothing parallel to 1t In their reading: :.
The iamily, consisting of Mrs. Gibbs, her
two sons, Adrian and Pierre, Mrs. 4. Il.
Gibbs aud Miss Eun1ce Gibbs, were just finish

yerest kind Of an electric shock. At the
came time Adrian and shis wife received a
shock of the sa1ne character, though BY no
mtans so severe. We. do not understand
that Mrs. Gibbs or her daughter experienced
any shock, or If they did, It was very slight
indeed. All parties speedily recovered except
his entire strength, 80 t1let he was helpless as
child. Upon an attempt, being made
to. remove him, it was found that
the presence and rcontact Of others
caused repetition Of the convulsion.
He was, however, got upon 2 sofa, where he
has laid ever since, u being impossible to re-

attempt to put pillow under his head throw

for Adrian to Teffain altogether from visiting
him. He is affected slngularly. The pre-

President. It was appointed to Inquire into
the disposition made Of 657 bales Of Govern

here, which disappeared in August last. The
commission have completed Their 1abors, and
am informed by uthority beyond question
that their report is Of most damaging char

as follows, ~ demonstrated By the evi,
