The Moore Family Again.-We published
Yesterday an account of the indignities suf-
fered bv this family, near Chattanooga, some
time since. taken from the Chattanooga Ga.
zetse. in which il was stated that Mr.. Moons
son ran away from the house while the ne.
groes were beating his father. The son
referred 10 has since corrected that state
ment as follows: We yesterday received a
call from the venerable victim Of African
brutality, Mr.. Thomas A. Moore. To hear
from his own lips the horrible story of the
barbarous indignities to which his family
were subjected, we think would have touched
the heart even Of ~Gloyd." -
We learn from Mr.. Moore that his son
left the house in obedience TO his parental
commands. and not without protestation.
The father was satisfied that his sons resist
ance would lead TO his death-they being as
ten TO one-and probably to the massacre of
the entire family OF course the inhuman
results were not anticipated. No one Of the
scoundrels have been arrested. Can nothing
be done by our citizens to aid in their de-
lection, capture, conviction and punishment?
Why cannot purse be made up to be offer
ed and paid as a reward for their arrest,
with evidence to convict? Citizens of Chat
tanooga, the honor Of our families is al
stake. Those who are willing to contribute
will please CALI at this office." "a

Benefit Of Nerspapers.-The following is
clipped from an exchange. 1t contains more
truth than poetry, and we commend it to or
readers: 49,
Nothing is more common than to hear peo-
pie talk Of what they pay newspapers for
advertising, etc, as so much given in charity.
Newspapers, by enhancing the value of pro-
perry in their neighborhood, and giving the
localities in which they are published repu-
tation abroad, benefit all such, particularly
if they be merchants or real estate owners,
thrice the amount yearlyof the meagre sum
they pay for their support. Besides, every
public spirited citizen has laudable pride
In having paper Of which he is not asham-
ed, even though he should pick il up in New
York or Washington.
A good looking, thriving sheet helps to
sell property, gives character 10 the locality,
and in all respects is desirable public con-
yenience. If you want good readable sheet
it mnst be supported. And it must not be
supported in spirit of charity either, but
because you feel a necessity to support it.
The local press is the power that moves the
people. a-g rr5rr

The Cry Of a Wido,ced Mother.-What can
be more touching or pathetic than the fol-
lowing appeal from heart stricken mother
for her lost son? How many a soul does it
touch with grief; and how many wish will
be made that her appeal may bring back
again TO her arms her noble boy: Early
in the war my only child, noble boy Of
sixteen, regardless Of mothers persuasions
and needless Of the charms Of a home that
left him no wish ungratifed, left me for the
army. When last heard from he was wound
ed and languishing in prison at Camp Chase,
and / have since lost all trace of him.
Those who have had children born to them
can imagine my Distress and will surely, if
in their power, aid widowed mother in
finding her lost darling, or at least assist her
in finding his grave, should God have call
ed him hence. Any communication adj
dressed to Messrs. Mann, Boyd & Jonas, pub
fishers of the daily Sunny South, Aberdeen,
Miss, will reach me. All Southern and
Western papers please copy,

The Cotton SupuIy.

NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 3.
Hill, Brothers, & Co.'s cotton report of Decem-
Der 30th says their advices from all points fully
confirm them in the opinion that their estimate
of the total supply given in their last circular is
not too high inclining them to the outside figures
two million one hundred thousand bales.
The course of trade has been good deal chang
ed by the customary rise in the rivers instead of
the receipts of hundred thousand weekly aver
age it has been restricted to sixty thousand. In
formation now from all points say that the rivers
are rapidly rising and receipts already on the
increase. The receipts here and Mobile for the
week ending Dec. 18th were 2, 169; Dec. I'D IS :
6S4; Dec 10Th, 81 ,200 The receipts at all points
and the cotton forwarded north already amount
to 81 ESQ., 600, thus controverting Secretary McCul
lochs estimate of 81 300 900 for the entire supply
There is no sign of a serious falling off at any
point and the effect of the tardy rise of the rivers
will be to protract the delivery to a comparative
ly late date.
Down 10 the latest dates from all points, so far
present indications be trusted, they think it
not unreasonable to anticipate cotton crop for
1867 of 100000 to 100000 bales, whereof not
less than half will be retained in this country /;
or, say 0,000 to $4,000 bales from the Atlantic
States and Florida, and 10000 to 100000 bales
from the Southwest

4 Mystery at Crystal Springs, Miss.-Eve-
rything should be as clear as crystal at these
springs, but il seems not from the following
statement we find in the CopiahOn:
For some years past there lived in Crystal
Springs and neighborhood a negro man, who
worked in the occupation of painter in the
town, and around the country generally,
wherever his services were in demand. He
was known and trusted Of many people, and
no one for a moment doubted the genuine
ness Of his title TO the manhood proclaimed
by his robust appearance and general de-
pertinent A few nights ago, however, he
became very i'll, sent for doctor, and to
the establishment Of the natives, gave birth
to child Crystal Springs we know, is
wonderful place, and vast Improvements are
making there, but If her freedmen are going
to cut up this way generally, the matter
should be looked into

Supreme Cout-The law docket of the
Ninth Circuit was continued yesterday, but
not finished
The following was the action taken ON
cases heretofore submitted:
State VS. Taylor-Indicted for larceny,
nolle proseq,d entered, and the prisoner dis
charged.
State VS.. Austin Norman, same charge as
above, and same action taken.
Wood VS.. State-Judgment reversed and
a new trial granted.
This is an action commenced by warrant
before a Justice OF the Peace Of Cannon
County TO recover the price Of n rifle gun.
There was Judgment, before the justice, in
favor of the defendant, and on appeal TO the
Circuit Court, the Justices judgment was al
frmed, and an appeal was presented 10 the
supreme Court
Ii appears from the record that one b. J.
Hill, through the agency of Governor Har-
ris obtained permission Of the Rebel Secre-
tarv of War, 20 raise and equip regiment
of infantry TO serve in the army Of the Con-
fcderatc States for one year; and that at the
time the rife gun in controversy was pur-
chased. the plaintiff in error was Captain,
commanding a rebel company, and that the
gun was obtained for the purpose of arming
his company.
Ii was held that at the time Of the con-
tract an open war was being waged by an
unlawful combination of the insurgent
States, To overthrow the government of the
United States and the authority Of the
United States.
ON this ground the decision OF the Circuit
Court was reversed and new trial ordered,
in which the jury were TO be charged in ac-
cordance with the law as contained in Judge
Milhgan's opinion. Ii will t'-us be seen that
debts Of this nature are held TO be void, be-
cause the State was at that time waging war
against the United States.

PITTsBURG, Monday.-The river continues in
fine navigable order. The largest class Of boats
have no fault 10 find in the scarcity Of water.
The coal feet have nearly all disappeared. We
noticed number of floating boats passing the
city on Saturday. Their destination was the Mis-
sissippi below Cairo. These boats are of mani
moth proportions. made extra strong in order TO
be able to combat with the waves Of the father
Of waters. From one Of the officers of the Forest
CITY we learn that the coal 6eet was getting along
finely. There were no accidents. On the Monon-
gahela landing business was active; liberal
amount Of freight was shipped. Among the de-
partures were the Leoaora 30. 2; her freight list
consisted Of l.5oO kegs nails. 400 packages glass
and $50 tuus pig iron. with fair number OF pas
sengers. The packet Forest City LEFT with good
trip Of freight and passengers. The new steamer
Jose SaR Roaea took her departure literally COW
cred over with agricultural and other implements

were large. The new and pretty steamer Lsella

YESTERDAYS Chattanooga Gazette con-
tains another account Of fendish outrage
by negro, in the very heart of the city.
A white widow woman, named Mrs. o.
Donnel, rebuked a negro for driving his
wagon across her premises; and some dis
cussion arising, the negro jumped from his
wafol, seized the woman by the throat,
choking and kicking her at the same time.
Mrs. ODonnel's cries aroused the people in
the vicinity, and the negro made his way
10 a military camp, without being arrested.
There is little prospect of the unfortunate
woman's recovery, her ribs and jaw being
broken, besides other injuries.
