The case Of the State of South Carolina against
the state OF Georgia and the Secretary of War,
which was TO have been heard before the Supreme
Court OF the United States yesterday, was post
poned until Thursday, and will then be heard by
Mr.. Justice Bradley. The question in the case Is
as 70 the right OF Georgia to turn the channel of
the Savannah river, by driving piles in its bed
which 1t is alleged is being done between Hutch
inson's and Argyle islands by the commander of
the army in that department., but at the instance
Of the State. The allegation is that it is an at
tempt to change the channel from its original
course for the purpose Of affecting the boundary
between the two States prejudicial to the inter
ests and rights Of South Carolina. The case
comes up on motion for leave to file the bill and
for preliminary Injunction to restrain the further
progress Of the work.

pare it in turn with the wool from the
ribs, the thigh, the rump and the hin
der parts, and the nearer the wool from
these various portions of the animal ap-
proaches the standard, the better.
First, we scrutinize the fneness, and
if the result be satisfactory: we pro.
nounce the fleece in respect of fine
ness, very even; next, we inquire into
the length of the staple; and, if we find
that the wool on the ribs, thigh and
back, approximates reasonably in
length to that of our standard, we
again declare the sheep as regards the
length of staple, true and even. We
next desire to satisfy ourselves of the
density of the fleece; and we do this by
closing the hand upon portion of the
rump and of the loin wool, the fleece
at these points being usually the thin
nest and most faulty, and, if this again
gives satisfaction, we signify the fact by
designating the wool even as respects
density Now to summarize these sepa-
rate examinations, if you find the fleece
of nearly equal fineness from the Shout
der, rib, thigh and back, and of equal
density at the shoulder and across the
loins you may conclude that you have
a perfect sheep"
