MILITARY REDRESS OF PRIVATE
INJURIES.
The Radical organ of this city yesterday

The Radical organ of this city yesterday
gave us the following:
"THoMAs HARRIS, Union citizen Of
Mount Pleasant, had number of bales of
cotton burned by the rebels in 1868. An as
sessment was levied upon the rebels by the
military authorities, in accordance with an
order of General GRANT, to remunerate Mr..
HARRIS for his loss. Recently suit was
brought by several rebels against Mr. HAIR
RIs in the Circuit Court TO recover the assess
ment. The case was reported to Gen. K. w.
JOHNSON, who has issued orders to stop the
suit but the attorney of the plaintiffs treats
the order with contempt. 1t apr Ears that
some time ago Judge COOPER said that if
any lawyer in his court should appeal to
Gen. THOMAS, or the Freedmen's Bureau, or
any other than judicial authority, he would
strike his name from the list of attorneys"
The redress Of private injuries inflicted in
the course of war by one belligerent, under
authority Of the rules of war, by the ad-
verse military power through assessments
upon the neighbors ofthe injured person, is a
departure from the rightful prercgatives of
the military arm which can in no case be
justified. The military power of the Gov
eminent can only be used for the redress of
public wrongS--and no commander can
ever be authorized to turn aside from his
legitimate duties and degrade his func-
tions and calling to the petty questions Of
private griefs.
The plaintiffs in the case referred to at
Mount Pleasant are right in appealing to
the Judiciary for a restoration of the money
which was wrongfully taken from them.
They had nothing to do with the destruc-
ton of defendants cotton, and the assess
ment made and collected from them, at the
| character
If the question shall involve the validity
of law in Congress, we hope it will not b.
permitted to rest until the decision is made
in the tribunal of ultimate resort in such
cases. If our Government is to be one Of
attachment to and observance of law, We
cannot too soon commence the work of re.
storing those features in it which were Sc
sadly marred by the cruel usurpations of the
past five years

REPORTS from Southwestern Georgia give
sad accounts of the results of the late storm.
A letter from Knoxville, Georgia, says the
storm was particularly severe in that section
In the village all the shade trees were up
rooted, houses were uuroofed, chimneys blown
down, and even some of the houses were
upset.
No lives were lost Wheat that was
standing in the field was totally ruined. A
great number of stock were killed. In many
places the planters will have to abandon the
crops because of the large number Of trees
blown into the fields. The storm lasted
about ten minutes and was accompanied by
furious rain and terrific thunder. Reports
from Talbot county say the storm was
equally severe in that county.

ST. LOUIS STEAMBOAT BURNERs.-The
following was sent by telegraph to the Gin
cinnati press:
ST. LOUIS, June 1l.-Recent develop
ments have shown that few days since an
atrocious attempt Of some incendiary to fire
a steamboat at the levee, by pouring oil
upon the decks, was prevented in time to
avert the threatened conhagration.
On Saturday last an attempt was made to
fire the steamer Magnolia, lying just below
the lower ferry landing. The shavings in
the carpenters room were discovered in full
blaze Just in time to be extinguished before
enveloping the boat in flames. The fire
was set by an incendiary.
Several parties extensively connected with
steamboat navigation, have, within the past
few DAYS received anonymous letters, notify
ing them that unless the colored longShore-
men are discharged at once that all the
steamers belonging TO such lines as employ
them will be burned. 1t is limited in these
letters that several boats have already been
burned by the incendiary torch on this ac-
count

Judge Underwood Declines TO Admit
MIR. Davis 10 BaiI-Tbe Matter il left To
the President.

WASHINGTON, June 1.-THE question Of
bailing Mr.. DAVIS came to an abrupt ter
mination to-day. 1t appears that both the
Attorney General and Chief Justice CHASE
informed the counsel of Mr.. DAVIS that there
was no reason why bail should not be taken
in DAVIS case, and that the proper person
before whom to make such application was
Judge UNDERWOOD, who presides over the
Circuit Court before whom he is to be tried
in October next. Accordingly, the counsel
have been waiting here since Friday last for
Judge UNDERWOOD to return TO his home in
Alexandria, in order to bring the matter be-
fore him. He returned late on Saturday
evening, and was called upon by HORACE
GREELEY, who informed the Judge that he
desired 10 go on the bond as one of the secu-
rites, to the extent of $4,000. The Judge
informed GREELEY that he would be in
Washington on Monday moning, when he
would hear what the counsel had to say in
the matter.
This morning the Judge called upon the
Attorney General and was informed by this
officer that Messrs. OCONoR and PRATT de-
sired to submit arguments in favor Of the
Government taking bail in the case; and
Immediately the above counsel and the At
the Attorney Generals Office, where the
matter was fully talked over. The Judge
Immediately informed them that he had no
doubt that it was q bailable ofiense, but that
he desired TO say then and there that he did
not regard Mr.. DAVIS as within the jurisdic-
ton of his Court, that in his Judgment he
was within the military jurisdiction of the
Govemment-beingc confined within a fort.
He therefore declined to take any action in
the matter Mr.. OCoNoR requested the
Judge TO put his objections in writing, that
they might submit them to the President
with a view of getting him to remove the
objections This was done at once, and the
counsel took the paper containing the deci-
sion and laid il before the President.
The impression is that the matter has
been defeated by the action of the House to-
day, and neither the Attorney General, nor
CHASE, nor UNDERWOOD will allow DAVIS
to be bailed under any circumstances, while
it is very doubtful if the President paroles
him.

OUR MOST IMPORTANT RAILROAD
ENTERPRISE.

Correspondence Of the Union and American
MONTGOMERY, Ala, June l0.-An entirely new
and stirring interest has been recently aroused in
the public mind Of this city and section in regard
to the importance Of the speedy construction of
the great " North and South " railroad, from this
city to Decatur.
Public meetings have been held, composed Of
the strength and talent Of the city, resolutions
unanimously passed, pledging individual efforts
to the utmost, and calling upon the city authOri-
ties to invest themselves with authority, by
means the most speedy, to subscribe one million
of dollars to the stock of this railroad company.
and to take the sense of the voters of the city by
an election. at an early day. upon the question of
such subscription. There is no doubt of the re-
suit as there is scarcely division of opinion up
on the subject, the desire TO have the road built
as quickly as il can be DONE being almost uni
versal.
The Importance and value Of this road are so
strikingly manifest to every intelligent mind that
arguments and exhibits are unnecessary. A rail-
road from this city TO Decatur is a connecting link
between the network of railroads covering the
border States and uniting the great commercial
cities of the West and Southwest, with Pensacola
the best harbor and the nearest Gulf port to IIa-
vana and Cuba.
This road entering first the magnificent pine
forests and timber regions north of this city, soon
strikes the Cahawba and Black Warrior coal
fields, cutting through the Red Mountain iron
deposits, between the two, and continuous
ly through the rich mineral regions of the
State. to its terminus in the productive and
beautiful valley of the Tennessee. where
it meets with connections. not only west
ward to Memphis, but penetrates and passes cen
trally through that garden spot of the continent
the blue limestone of Middle Tennessee, of which
your city is the commercial CENTRE and by it we
of this section can eat the flour, bacon and hams
from your productive counties in exchange for
the cotton TO employ the wasting water power
found everywhere in that beautiful valley, and
send you tide of trade and travel. that will
quicken every department Of life and business.
Tennessee and Nashville need the road as much
as we do. and will be as much benefited by it,
We expect the citizens of both to do all they can
10 aid this enterprise More anon. 3.

THE Cincinnati Commercial, a paper half
radical and half conservative, has not a
very good opinion Of Judge UNDERWOOD.
Ii says:
Judge UNDERWOOD who knows very little
law. and has not much sense, was quite anx-
ious TO have the distinction Of trying the
leading traitors, and had a large number of
them indicted. He was stopped by the
Government, whose honor had heen pledged
by Lieutenant General GRANT that the men
included in the terms of surrender should
not be disturbed. II may be unfortunate
that many of the Southern military leaders
have not been hanged, but the war closed
as il did on consideration that they were to
be let alone, and that's an end Of il.
