They were permitted to go into the prison yard in the day time, and they had a dead line there.
 We found at Knoxville several officers and men of Mor gan's command, who had been taken two week before us. They told us that the soldiers who captured them said that they had orders not to take Gen. Morgan alive. After this itswas rumored that the soldier of Gen. Morgan's command refused to take as prison CTS of war men belonging to the 13td Tennessee cavalry. Gen. Gillem sent communication, under flag of truce, to General Brekinridge on this subject, complaining that some members of the Thirteenth had been killed, and stating that he supposed it was done in retaliation for the 'reported murder of Gen. Morgan. He stated that Gen. Morgan had been killcdin fair fight, and inclosed acopy of note from Capt. Rogers, of Gen. Morgan's staff, in answer to one from him inquiring into the circumstances of Morgan's death, (Rogers was then . prisoner in Gen Gilcms hands,)
 At the bottom ofthis note was written, q A true copy. A.C. Gillem, Brig General" :" When Gen, Breckinridge afterward attacked and routed Gen. Gilem, we captured his headquar- ters desk and private papers, among which was the original note of Capt. Rogers, altered and amended to read as the copy Gen. Gilem sent Gen, B., and very different from the said copy. These papers are still in existence.

 Wf CREDIT SYSTEM.

fs&-4 CREDIT SfSGEMs
 The credit system works 2 hardship upon
 the community where it is indolged in this
 way. X merchant purchases at the East
 or elsewhere. ten thousand dollars worth of
 goods and brings them to pes Arc, he
 makes an estimate of his house rent board
 of self and clerks, clerks wages, taxes, inei-
 dental expenses; loss in ware and tare, &c;
 he then puts on his per cent sufficient to cover all these expenses and pay him T reasonable proGt'f8r his riskin investment. say his per cent (for illustration, :, is forty per cent--now in view of his probable loss under the credit system, heis compelled to put his per cent ten or fifteen per cent higher on his entire stock than he would do under the cash system, by which he would be enabled to rcinvest his means two or three times every year and makea M Msp'all per cent on each investment. and thus the merchant would realize more in the wa5 of profits every year, and the farmer and me chanic would get their goods or nedessares cheaper But who pays that additional price of ten or fifteen per centon the goods under the credit system2 evidently 1t IS paid by the solvent or punctual part of the community, and they are thus taxed ten or twelve dollars every year to keep up and encourage class of men and women. that l are all the time consuming and making no efforts to pay their debts or liabilities, from year to- year.. Look at the money paid l judicial or civil officers in suits instituted for the collection of debts look at the time consumed by plaintiff and defendant in actions of debt costs, fees, &c. These are, in part, the fruits of the credit system I But how are VIC to remedy this evil ?

THE LAW or LOTTERIES.


We publish In another place decision Of
the Supreme Court in relation to 4. gilt entor-
nEiscs," so-called, which defines the Law of
lotteries broadly. clearly, and we may add
satisfactorily. The case before tho Cont
was thai Of Dunn, plaintiff In error, Il. 4hc
People. Dunn was indicted aud convicted il
ti'is county for violation or the law conccrn-
ing lotteries. lie took writ Of error to the
Supreme Court, alleging that his business
was nut lottery, but legitimate sale Of
envelopes containing certain things Of more
or less vnlnc, which entitled the purchaser,
in addition to the contents Of the envelope,
10 the privilege Of buying somcthin. clso
designnted on q card contained In the
envelope, for the sum Of one dollar. It
might be finger ring worth twenty-five
cents, or piano worth five hundred lollars.
Judge Lawrence demolishcs this clap-trap
cncctua,lY, md in 60 doing deals blow at
a'l Other attempted cvasions of the Law.
ue defines a lottery 10 be "schcmc for dis
frlbutiug prizes By chance" It makes no
difference whether the modus operaadi be one
thanG or another. II the elst of the scheme
is 10 distribute prizes hy chance, It is q lot
te1y within the meaning Of the statute, and
Subjects the proprietor 10 the penalties OF
tie same. The basis of all the so-c.lted
"gitt concerts" Is the distribution Of mir.
by chance. Hence they are ameuable 10 The
Law In like manner
The question whether separate Indictment
may he had for eaGh ticket sold was not
brought before the Court, hut 1t Is obvious,
II conviction can be obtained for Tie sale ur
ticket 10 A, 1t can also be obtained on a
sale to h. The law must be construed in a
~sy which will make it effective, and no 9th

trust he will nov itt stop to this demosnl-

Six years have passed since the appearance
of the tenth edition OF the Commentaries.
The seventh and the subsequent editions
down to the tenth were edited by Judge VIII
liam Kent, son Of the author; and the tenth
was edited by AlessEs. McCurdy and Formap.
This, the eleventh, has been prepared by the
Hon. Geo. +. Comstock, cx-Jutlso of the New
York Court Of Appeals, who has investigated
The decisions and cnactmcnts which have been
made subsequent to the last edition, and ad-
ded the results to the pte-exis:ing notes,
which hare sometimes been condensed OF in
copomtcd with the new matter, while occa-
sional inaccuracies have been corrected. No
change has, however, been made in the text.
or In the notes prepared By the
commentator himself. In few In
stances where the doctrine of tic text
seemed opposed to tue existing rule On the
same subject, tbe present editor has set forth
