NOTES DRAWN IN THE SOUTH
DURING THE WAR.

From the Richmond Dispatch, June g.
Chief Justice Chase gave some interest
ing and important instructions to jury in
the case OF Moore & Brother, of Baltimore,
as. Foster & Moore, Of Norfolk, which oc-
cupied the attention of the United States
Circuit Court yesterday The facts in the
case are briefly as follows:
In 1860 Foster & Moore, of Norfolk,
owed Moore & Brother, of Baltimore, 1920,
due by negotiable notes, which fell due du-
ring the occupation of Norfolk by the Con-
federste army. After the evacuation oI
that city, Moore & Brother came to Nor
folk, and Foster & Moore agreed TO pay the
amount of their liabilities to them 10 Vir-
ginia money. Foster & Msore then bought
draft for $1,000, drawn by the Bank Of
Windsor, N. c., on the Bank of Ports
mouth. This draft was Endorsed by Maury
& Co., Smith, of Norfolk, and other respon.
sible parties, and made payable to the or
der of Moore & Brother, to whom it was
sent They neglected TO have the draft
presented, and some two months afterware
the Bank Of Portsmouth ran its assets into
the Confederate lines. They held the draft
until 1867, and it vas never paid. Under
these circumstances Moore & Brother
brought suit upon the original notes, and
rendered the draft back to Foster q Moore
who refused 10 receive it.
The case was argued ably by Gilmer
Son for the plaintiffs, and A. B. Guigon and
John Howard for the defendants. At q
late hour yesterday afternoon the CHE
Justice instructed the jury;
/. That any draft, bill or note drawn il

ASSASSINATION OF PRINCE MI
CHAFE

The following are the particulars of the
assassination of Prince Michael, of Seryia,
at Belgrade. The Prince, while walking
leisurely through one of the public parks,
at about o'clock in the evening, was sud-
denly attacked by three asssssins, armed
with revolvers. He was accompanied by
his cousin and daughter of the latter, to-
gether with the usual attendants. The as
sassins directed their FIRE promiscuously
at the royal party At the first shot the
Prince fell and expired imnsediately. The
cousin of the Prince was also hit and died
in few minutes. The daughter received
a severe flesh wound, but was not danger
ously injured. One or two of the Wallets
were also slightly wounded. The last dis
patches from Belgrade represent that the
excitement is intense and unabated. No
outbreak, however, has occurred. Two of
the assassins Of Prince Michael have been
arrested. Ii has been ascertained that they
were not three brothers who fred the fatal
shots, bat father aud his two sons. One
of the latter is still at large, bnt it is be-
lieved he cannot escape.

A negro on the plantation Of George B. Holmes,
Esq, bought some calico few days ago and got
a negro woman to make it into . spread for her
bed. When it was made and slept under for the
first time, the swner became sick, and suspicion
of con]uring fell on the makor. 1t was said that
the cenjuror blew her breath three times in the
middle of the spread. The excitement on tho
plantation was intense. On Sunday the spread
was brought out and solemaly burned in the
presence Of several thousand free and indepsn-
dent voters. On Yesterday the conjured woman
walked to town through the rain and mud to
give ten dollars to the medicine man who casts
out the evil spirits, and the woman who did the
conjxrng also came with her friends to be clean
sed of tho unclean spirit. 1t will also cost her
ten dollars to be absolved. In tho meantime the
plantation is in q high state of excitement and
no work is done.
