IMPORTANT DECISION FREEDMAN's BUREAU
DECIDED TO HAVE NO VALIDITY IN KENTucKy.-
Hon. r. Hawes, Judge Of tho Bourbon County
Court, has just rendered n decision, which ia Of
unusual Importance, and which, if sustained by the
higher courts, as We doubt not it will be when ju-
dicially tested, will effectualy destroy tho power
of the Freedmon's Bureau throughout the State.
The decision was rendered in the case OF u color
cd woman Hnrriet Hurley, who came, by her attor-
ney, ]. Lawrence Jones, before the court, praying
writ Of habeas c0rpas against Dudley Cummins,
who, under color of an indenture of apprcn-
ticeship by the Bureau, was, rs sho n1lcgod,
restraining of their liberty Two minors-her
children. The case coming on for hear
ing, the Hon. Judge hell that the provisions
OF the Frcedmcn's Bureau wcTo not applicable to
this State, but were clearly intended to apply to
those States only, which woro in rebellion, and
where the ordinary process of the law WAS suspend
ed by armed force. Kentucky had not been in re-
belion, but was, through the whole period Of the
war; q loyal State, anu "a such was represented in
the Congress Of the United States, and only dur
ing the temporary occupancy of Kontucky by the
rebel forces IN 1862 was the ordinary process of
the law suspended. Hence the court could not re-
gard the provisions OF the Bureau law as applicable
to this State, and declared all contracts Of up
premiership by agents in Kentucky to be null and
void. The children in conformity with the above
views, wore ordered to be rerlandcd to their
mother.--Parls Keatuclian 17M.

GEN. ZoLLIcoFFER OF HIS DEATH
The Memphis Commercial, of Sunday, says:
Yesterday the 18th, five years ago, Gen. Zolli-
Golfer fell at the head of his column in the dsas-
trous affair of Mill Springs, Kentucky-perhaps
better known as Fishing Creek. Until he fell the
troops under him acted nobly in the face OF supc-
rior odds, but immediately afterward broke. and an
the field was lost. The 18th Mississippi and the
2Oth Tennessee, and perhaps another regiment,
held out short time, and were compelled TO fall
back; the others were armed with hlnt-lock mus
kets and shot-guns chiefly; their powder was wet
from q soaking rain and tho swimming OF creek
and they were hardly to bamo for giving way, al-
though they were severely censured, and the sub
ject caused many bitter word among the troops
afterwards
The defeat was the more significant as it was
the first OF long series which befe the Confcder-
alto cause in the early part Of 1862 The retreat
from AIil Springs to Murlrccsboro, across swollen
rivers and creeks, over mountains and through
narrow gorges will never be forgotten by those
who were Of the number, and the writer can say
Though not boastingly) that he was there. The
whole affair was nsrepresented in many material
points ut the time and has never been fully under
stood by the public since. It was during that re-
treat, which was unnecessarily precptate, that we
heard of the evacuation OF Bowling Groen and the
fall of Forts Honry and Donelson but without fol-
lowing the history OF the campaign, we nay con-
clude by expressing the opinion that the fortunes
of the day, on the 18th Of January, 1862 had moro
to do with the disasters which followed than people
generally have supposed It is the dny from which
the downfall of the Southern Confoderaoy may be
dated With General ZollicofTer, O great and good
man, fell the State of Tennessee,

It is proposed that one terminus bo erected near

through Chatham and New Chambers street to
James Slip, thence across to Brooklyn; another
to 60 down Chambers street, tnko a plunge under
the Hudson, and make it's appearance in jersey
itseslf-running under Broadway-acccssible to
passengers by stations half milo apart, having
sprnl stops lending downwards to the track. Tho
cars will be similar to those used in England, and
will be furnished most luxuriously. Each train
will be large enough to carry three hundred passen
gers and it has been computed that there will be
sufficient number OF trains to accommodate one
million passengers daily. The route proposed is
from City Hall Park up Broadway (up and nnder)
to Union Square, then up Madison Avenue to Forty
third, noxt ocross to Fifth Avenue, and thence up
to Harlem Lane, ard even up as high as NcCombs
