Tn the Court Of General Sessions, the

Judge Carpenter, on the return, ycstcr-
day, to a rule to show cause why Ger
tain persons were detained in custody.
The Judge decided that no power vest
ed il Magistrates to hear and d te mine
charges against persons accused and to
commit tojail upon such trial. That
the authority vested in them under the
recent Acts of the Legislature, was con-
fined to the hearing of the cause and the

sufficient evidence, to stand at the ap-

Sessions. Several prisoners, therefore,
sentenced to Jail by Magistrates, were
ordered to be released.

SALESDAY..

Our town presented quite lively
appearance on Monday last. The large
sale of the lands of the estate of the late
Capt. JOHN CHEsSur, attracted a large
eoncourse, among whom the freedmen
prcdominated, many ofthcm suprosing
that the time had arrived for their OBJ
tanning the long expected "fOrty acres"
The tract of six thousand acres being
divided into small parcels, and the
terms liberal, the bidding was spirited.
The prices obtained were f lily equal to
what the lands would have brought be-
fore the war. 4 few freedmen were
fortunate enough to crafty their desire
to buy home.
