in April lasty under the impression
given by theb local papers that Corr
gress, had voted to transfer the sittingss
to Richmond, adjourned its. proceed
ings to the latter place on May 5th,l
until October, : AS the act No. Sc did
not pass both Houses May %, the ad-
journment .@of the Court was
premature and Illegal, consequently.
the Court will have to convene at
Norfol k, and perfect a legal adjourn
ment to Richmond. ldOn the 9th of
July, Congress passed the act No. III, ;,
re-arranging the Fourth Circuit of
the United States Courts, by naming
Delaware in, the place of South Caro-
lima, while at the same time the neces-
sary re-allotment of Judges to the
Districts were admitted. Judges
of the Supreme Court do not agree
upon their power to make this change
of Judges and it will be necessary to
await theJactfonf Of Congress m this
matter. When these difficulties shall
have been corrected and it is authori~
lively Sannounced, The military will
in nc. wise interfere, with their views.
