From the report of Fl. D. Whitcomb, Su-
perintendent Of the Va. Central Railroad,
we learn that the road east of this place is in
better condition than ever before and the
road west is in good order. Freight houses
have been built at different points, bridges
renewed and about eleven miles of new rail
laid cast Of Gordonsyille. The facilities Of
transportation have been increased by the
building and purchase Of new engines and
cars. The Passenger cars built in the Shops
of the company, reflect credit on the work
men and show that there is no necessity for
railroads to buy passenger cars, since they,
with little energy, can turn out cars equal
in finish and durability to those of the best
builders and at $500 or 1000 less cost.
The trains have been run with punctuality,
with but few accidents and the most remark
able feature of the whole is the fact that with
in the year no passenger has been injured.

We notice in the report Of the Richmond
Medical journal Commission, on the num-
Der of mutilatcd and manned Confederate SOL
ders in Virginia, that, although Governor
Peirpoint, gave efficient aid to the Commit
tee by directing the Secretary Of the Com
monwealth to issue circular letter to the
clerks Of the various cities and counties to
furnish the information to the Committee, a
number of counties have not been heard from
We would suggest the propriety of all the
clerks, who have not reported, doing SO at
once, as it is the object of the committee to
memorabilia the Legislature on the subject,
and Gov. Peirpoint has expressed his will
lingness to mention the subject in his mes
sage. In no other way are our MANNED Con-
federates, who are unable to procure artif-
cial limbs, likely to reap the benefits Of any
action of the Legislature.
In justice to the clerk Of our county, we
will state that his report was delayed for
want of full information till Monday morning
last, when it was forwarded.

IMPORTANT DECISION DISCHARGE OF
PRISONERS st will be recollected that some
time ago four citizens of South Carolina were
arrested, by command of Major General
Sickles, and having been tried by military
court, under the orders of that officer were
sentenced to death The sentence was COM
muted by the President to Imprisonment for
life, and the prisoners having been first dis
patched to the Dry Tortugas, in order to
evade writ Of habeas corpus, were eyentu-
ally incarcerated in Fort Delaware. Here
they were demanded by the civil authority,
under writ of habeas corpus issued by
Judge Hall, the District Judge of the Uni
ted States for the district Of Delaware.
Judge Hall is magistrate venerable alike by
his years and by the dignity and frmness
with which he has, through long career,
administered his high Office. The mandate of
his court was obeyed the prisoners were
brought before him, and after patient
hearing Of the case, they were discharged,
on the express ground that according to
the law of the land, the prisoners ought not
to and cannot be held under the committed
sentence of this military commission, and
that they be discharged"
