TIRED OF HIS FREEDoM-A few davs since a
former slave of b gentleman of this place-a
healthy, active young fellow, possessed Of more
than the average intelligence of his race-wbo
had been doing business on his own hook''
pretty much all the time since the close Of the
war, met with his late owner, and to use his own
language, surrendered" to him, asking him to
take him into his service again, and on such terms
as he thought proper He stated that ala his efforts
to maintain himself as comfortably as he had live
when slave had proved fruitless. He lad tried
merchandising, and failed at it then farming and
met with no better suGcess-and now he had come
to him for living and home, stating that lie was
willing to live with him through life to do any work
he might require of him, and for just such wages
as he might think proper to pay him.
The gentleman received him very kindly, teid
him to go 20 the country, where he had need fer
his services and the unlucky exmerchant ana ex-
farmer left fer his work, his mind evidently re-
Iieyed of all care o. trouble about the future

IMPORTANT DEcIsIoN.-We learn from the Nashville
Despatch that the supreme court of Tennessee has
lately pronounced decision which will touch the yital
OF many transactions entered into during the war The
case was as follows: ltwas in the case of O. b. Wriphk
and T. Cantfell, plaintiffs in error against Wesley
Overall The cause came up from the circuit court of
Dekdb equity Plaintiffs in error had executed their
note to Samson Yergan for the of $500 The note
had been assigned by Yergan Reuben Scott and bv
Scottto Overall On the 9th day of Decemher, 1862
Wright and Gantrell had paid Overall $500 in Confed
crate money and had taken his receipt for the same
The credit was not entered the note, though it is
matter OF record he promised to make such credit In
the circuit court Overall sued for the full face of the
note, and the court gave judgment for that amount,
hence wright and Cantre came up by writ of error
The supreme court affirm the judgment below. in an
opinion regarded by the leading members Of the bar as
an able one. THE cardinal points assumed by their
honors are: l. That the courts cannot recognise os
power capable Of issuing money that which Is not and
never has been 50 recognised by the legislature and
executive branches Of the government; ?. That the
socaed Confederate States by those
branches, and never were; g. Therefore any nancrs
ssue by the said Confederate States purportnr to he
money cannot be recognised as such by the courts.
