lates the law, and because be is poor
throws the burdens of bringing him to
punishment on the innocent, dUes he
not take advantage of his Cwn wrong?
II he cannot pay the costs, why should
he not work them out? Is it better to
let him who Occssioned by his wrong
the costs, go free on account of tender

WE notice a couple of triAing inac-
curacies and an important omission in
the military biography of General SoR.
GHUM now going the rounds of the press.
In the first place, BURBR1DGE didn't
have ten thousand men at Saltville. or
anything like that number. Secondly.
Gen. ]. SORGHUM did not whip Bur
BRIDGE, but was badly whipped by
him. The explanation of the causes
that forced the Confederate War Office
to suspend him from military command
is the omission we detect. The author
tiles at Richmond were not so much IN
the habit of suspending officers who,
with handsful of men, came down on
the Yankees like wolves on the fold,
and routed them by the ten
thousand, that old SoRGHUM's case
drops in quietly and naturally among
the matters of course. As he is run
ming on his military history, let US have
the full and true story of his warrior
life. If SORGHUM is really a hero, it
is high time we were finding it out.
