THOROTGHBRED HORSES.

We notice with great satisfaction a grow
ing disposition on the part of our en-
lightened farmers and stock-raisers, to be-
stow their capital and labor on a better
quality Of stock than they have been in the
habit Of raising heretofore. 1t has always
been matter of surprise 10 us, that men in
this age and country would content them
selves with raising an inferior grade of
animals, when the same expense and labor
would produce stock worth three or four
times as much.
Our friend, Jas. F. Smith, has taken the
initiative step to introduce better breed
of horses into this community. Mai
Altman has already revolntioniZed the
Cornersville country in this respect, and
We hope 10 see him and Mr. Smith even
more successful in the future.
Mr. Smith has purchased four thorough
breds, among them the celebrated horse
Bob Observation-Disclosures to the world
renowned Lexington, and one Of the only
four living sons of Old Boston. He is one
Of the finest horses in America. He has
also purchased the thoroughbred mare
Foilee De Joice also a young stallion colt
and the celebrated FLY, Orphan Girl
This stock all arrived here safely a Few
DAYS ago, and are now at Mr. Smiths farm.
He thinks We ought 10 keep trying to i'm
prove our country although We have bot
little encouragement. All of our fine horses
were stolen during the war, and are now
flttening the purses of vandalS at the
North. But circumstances are different
now. Then we could make no resistance
Now We can give horse thieves leaden
welcome.-P llaski Citizen, De-. q.

VIRGINIA ann THE AMENDMENr.

A Washington dispatch Of the 9th
inst, contains the following:
"Hon Joseph Segar has returned from
Richmond, where lac has been in consulta-
tation with members Of the Legislature,
and especially with the leading men Of that
body. The object Of this consultation was
to learn what their views are relative to
the adoption of the constitutional amend
ment He reports that the Legislature is
prepared at once to adopt the amendment,
# they can have the assurance from Con-
gress that this shall be the alternative, and
that the loyal Senators and Representatives
from that State will be admitted without
delay. The members believe that the
Southern Legislatures that have taken ac-
ton and rejected the amendment, would
reverse their proceedings, and follow Nir-
ginia in the course above indicated, if
Congress will give the desired assurance.
Such is the substance of Col. Segars state
ment."
The Richmond Times of the oath inst,
referring to a somewhat similar statement
in a dispatch from that city to the New
York Herald, says it must provoke a
smile. Whether there be any truth in
Mr.. Segars report it is very certain that
consultations have recently been held in
Washington in which Southern mel" -
Radicals, it is fair to presume-partici-
pated, the object Of which was, if posi-
bic, to induce the Southern States to ratify
the pending amendment, on the grounds
stated in the dispatch We have quoted
How far the advocates of this action
have succeeded with the members of the
Virginia Legislature remains to be seen.

New York, Dec. 26.-The steamship
Moro Castle has arrived with later news
from Havana. The financial panic still
prevails to an alarming extent. The ten
millions of gold exported from Cuba in the

scarcity of a circulating medium and there

suspended specie payment on the 10th, on
presentation of check for one hundred
and fifty thousand dollars. The day fol-
lowing all the remaining banks, excepting
Bank Espanole, which is a good bank, also
suspended. The run on this bank is very
heavy, and as the crowd cannot all be paid
in twenty hours numbers for priority are
given for next day. The cashier pays in
silver and is selling gold to gain time by
the action of the government to allay the
panic
At meeting of merchants and other
capitalists, it was resolved to appeal to the
Captain General for a decree authorizing
the State Bank to redeem only S25, 900 in
gold each day of its own notes and to pay
checks in notes also to issue bills to the
amount of eight million dollars, including
five and half million it has already
issued.

THE SUPREME COURT AND THE

Cincinnati Gazette says in his dispatch of
the Oath inst
Ii is publicly stated here that Justice
Wayne, Of the Supreme Court, will render
a decision in the matter Of the application
for writ Of hdbeaS corpus TO release Dr.
Mudd from confinement at Dry Tortugas,
and will grant the writ, bringing Mudd be-
fore a civil court for trial. 1t is supposed
that similar wTits will be sued ont in the
cases Of Spangler, Arnold and OLaughin.
While Republicans are greatly disappointed
at the turn of affairs in the Supreme Court,
they are certain that new trial in these
cases will not fail 10 throw much additional
light upon the assassination"
1t is difficult to see how the court could
deny the writ after having rendered the
decision in the Indiana conspiracy case,
declaring military courts for the trial of
civilians Illegal IL the trial of DIR. Mudd
and the others implicated with him by
the civil courts should throw much add
tional light upon the assassination" it
ought to be "a matter for congratulntion
