Jim Hinton, Freedman,
pe,.
Vs..
Van B. Hinton


The facts in this case are. Jim is the re-
puted father of Lee, fourteen years old, and
Reuben twelve years old. On the first day
of November, 1865, the subacommissioners Of
the Freedmens Bureau for NoEubee county,
Miss, bound the said Lee and Reuben for
| the terms of nine and eleven years respec-
lively, to the defendant. The said Jim had
hired himself and family, including Lee and
Reuben. to one J. J. Kirksey. The defendant
subsequently got possession of and retained
Lee and Reuben. WhereupOn, Jim sued his
writ of habeas corpus, which was made re-
| turnable before me at Macon in said county
| on the 9th day of February, 1866. The
plaintiff introduced evidence to show that
Lee and Reuben were children OF Jim-that
their parents were both living and able to
support and take care of said minors. The
defendant claims that said minors had been
bound and apprenticed to him by a proper
| officer of the United States, and that he was
therefore entitled to them. The act of Con-
gress establishing the Freedmenis Bureau
confers no powers upon Commissioners to
bind out OF apprentice the children of living
parents, who are competent to take care OF
and support their minor children. The OBJ
ject evidently was to protect orphans and
INDECENT persons who are not able or com.
petent to support themselves, and was
never intended to take children from parents
wiz oiC " NlJlOut
their consent. 1t is true that it is alleged
in the obligation that the parents gave their
consent, but this was contradicted by the
evidence.
1t was contended by the plaintiff that civil
rights had been restored before the binding
i'll this cause took place, and that the laws
of the State should govern it, and that the
acts of the Freedmen's Commissioner in the
premises were therefore void. do not re-
gard this fact as material in this case.
Whether the act of Congress or the laws of
the State shall govern, is wholly immaterial.
| The principle is above stated, tO-wit that
where parents are able to take care of their
minor children, they cannot be taken from
them and bound to u third party without
the consent of the parents. The prayer of
| the petitioner must therefore be granted
and the said minors, Lee and Reuben, re-
stored to the plaintiff and the sheriff is
hereby ordered to deliver the said children,
Lee and Reuben, to plaintiff Jim, and it is
further ordered that the defendant pay the
costs herein. II. W. FOOTE,

when for so long a period their noblemen, |
their great capitalists had been expanding in |
their yachting experiments and upon rivalries |
amongst themselves, untold millions; and yet |
so suddenly and completely were they taken |
down. by the quiet advent Of this unpretend-
ing stranger, that-as may have been noted
we have heard comparatively little of the ex-
ploits of English yachtsmen since.
Not less pleasant an incident for American
travellers abroad that same year, was the
triumph of the "Hobbes lock- over the world

lean sharpness, of acuteness, so calling to the
Londoners at the time, that to those who were
witnesses of it. the incident will never be for
gotten.
But we need not enumerate the various in
stances which have occurred to show Europe,
and especially England, the advance we
have made on this side of the water. The
triumph of our ''monitors' and tswamp an
GELS was all that was finally needed to prove
that we had quite outgrown carping criticism
from that side that we have gotten quite be-
yond all attempts to sheer at us, at any rate.
So far as the vindication of our capabilities
and our power was in the case, the incidents
we have glanced at, along with the late triumph
of our arms, the demonstration on both sides
here Of fighting qualities, have told the story;
and now, at last having earned the right to
care no further for the sneers of eiiete states

course hereafter undisturbed by those express

fixing our status as people and nationality.
Torecur. The autograph letter of the Queen
referred to, is an acknowledgement So woman
y, so graceful in its character, that it indicates
clearly that the royal writer is indeed in ad-
vance Of her people; it is an unmistakeable
demonstration that unlike the Palmerstons,
and Gladstones, and Russels over there, she
is in accord with that nobleness of spirit re-
ported to have influenced the lamented
consort, who in his lifetime did what he
could to shape for England a wise and for
bearing policy. Clearly, 'his works do fol-
low him" and the effect of his Christian vir-
tues will be felt for many along year in soften
ing the asperities provoked by less wise and less
honorable statesmen. Let the Queen letter
then have the weight plainly due it, in improv-
ing the intercourse betwixt countries lattery
greatly estranged. Let all remember that if

States, the punishment for it falls upon the
people, and not upon the wrong doors,

QUEEN yICCORIA'S LETTER TO ME,
PEABODY.

The autograph letter of the Queen of Eng
land to Mr.. Peabody, is an event abundantlv
gratifying, when we consider that in effect, it
is an acknowledgement of the presence of
that superior Christian and liberal spirit on
the part Of this country in one of its repre-
sentative men, which, overlooking grave
wrongs, deals out princely charities to a ma
ton which within the past five years has done
what 1t could to divide and destroy US as one
people, and blot our nationality from the list
OF great States. An act on the part of our
noble hearted countryman well depominated
by the queen, OF more than princely munif
cence, WHOLLY without parallel i sbames
forever those magnates ofthe old world whom
dividualy wrlnglng annual hundreds of tbor.
sands from their impoverished people. never
think of returning to them aught of anv az.
count, but leave to the pity of stranger to
makeup their deficiencies. Nowonderthatsuch
gift as Mr.. Peabody's startes the old world:
no wonder that the poor of Europe flock hither
with the conviction that America is the land
of promise for every good thing.
In the many events which have occurred of
late years to demonstrate the advance made
here, itseemed really asif all that was wanted to
give the GROWING grace and glory TO our sue
cesses, was this surprising charity chronicled
in the letter of the Queen. Sneered at until
within a few years, as We of this side were, on
the score of being unable to excel in any
thing, 1t was not until the advent of the Great
Exhibition in 1851, that Europe began to be
undeceived. And If ever a nation was touched
in a tender spot, it was when that famous yacht
race, in which the America so signally tri-
umphed, made Englishmen open wide their
eyes, startling them into the disagreeable con-
yictions that upon an element where they con-
sidered themselves unrivalled, they, with the
eyes of the world upon them, had to confess
the bitter truth that they had come off second
best.
The occurrence was tbs more utterly CALLING

VIII Dry Goods Again Advance?

On this subject the New York Sun takes negative
position, and reasons as follows
The price of raw cotton was at one stage of the
rebellion one dollar per pound. Now the aver
age price in New York is less than forty cents
pound. the reduction being caused not by increase
OF supply for little cotton has been since the
nigh figures current; but it is caused by the
certainty ofsupply in the future The decline in the
value of imported goods is attributable partly to the
same cause, but directly to the decline in gold.
Now there is no probability that gold will advance
10 any material extent, is it likely that any new
cause will intervene to occasion dstTuSt in relation
to the supply of cotton; consequently there is no
around upon which to base the opinion that prices
in the dry goods market will again advance. The
present decline has been very steady and gradual. 1t
has occurred in spite of the most strenuous opposi-
ton of the speculative interest, and it may be set
down the natural and lesitimate effect of the
transition Of country from condition of unrest and
excitement to condition of comparative confidence,
stability and certainty"

On the South Fanellone Islands, on the coast of

connected with rocky gulch, open to the ocean,
Through this passage the OF the sea force the

would give an alarm to uniucky mariners approach

with different degrees of force-Sometimes 'piarO
passages, and at others fortisSimo ones About
the time of low water. when the waves do not
enter the gulch, it would cease for about two
hours, when its shrill music would begin again
