Supreme Court Decisions.

Among the decisions rendered in the Su.

Court of Mississippi. Ia this case it ia held
that tho destruction Of cotton by officers Of the
Confederate army, in obedience TO rebel mill
tsry orders, Was such on act OF war Gu the part
Of the military forces Of the rebellion SO would
relieve the persons executing tho order from
civil responsibility Of the suit, at least Of any
owue. ct the time voluntarily residing within
the lines of the resurrection. But this coociu.
tion is not based upon any authority conferred
by tho acts of the Confederate Congress, Tor it
is said they could give no warrant whatever. 1t
rests upon tho belllgerent ghts conceded to
the Confederate army, suoh concession piaciag
the soldiers and officers Of that army, as to all
matters directly connected With the mode Of
prosecuting the war, ''on the footing OF these

Il s.eus from MIR. BIaine's speech 10 Phlla-
delphs, last Saturday night, an extract from
which We published yesterday, and which, by
ihe by, is applauded to the skies by the ultra
radical press, that be i, not going TO let Gen.
Grant walk over the course for the republican
nomination for the next presidency, and thst
notwithstanding the disastrous consequences OF
tho Mulligau letters the Caldwell dispatch. and
the attack of brain fag, bis prurient itching TOR
that nomination is forcing him, even against the
logic of current events to strive tor 1t, and that
be is attempting to win it by means OF his OLD
a.g of the bloody shirt, under which ne has
gained 80 many victories in the past. But as
Mr. Blaine was raised to bis present position
By the people, and not by any special superb
oritv that attached to himself, and as the sui
f.ripgs Of the people are beginning to make
them take moro interes! than formerly IN the
character of the men they elevate to cfice, 1t Is
not probable that they will allow themselves to
be az easily deceived hereafter as they have
been heretofore, aud that, at least wl! require
more to irhueuce them in MIR. Baine's behalf
than the red hag that is used to lrritatc dumb
cattle. IF this be 50 Mr.. Blaine will have tc
devise some new device for firing tie northern
heart to degree sufficient to react adVanta
esously TO bis own interests, or be content With
his position 10 the Senate, and. what Is worse
for him. to make up bis mind to lose even
that when his present term shall expire
The political elevation Of such men as MIR. B!aoe
eiyas point to Gov. StymourS article IN the

nature however, is this willingness of women
to sacrifice girls life for the chance OF saving
the morals of Il scapcgracc man. If pious

reformation is greatly increased. The girl is
neither here nor there when one considers the
