NREkD0M or TIE PRESS

l0e occasion OF the LOUISIANA
s9npremc- Court in an appeal taken
! ~ the Times Democrat frc m an adj
verse Judgement rendered by low
er court, is destined, we think to
be very far-reaching in its ultimate
effects, If it stands.
The 1imes-Democrat had COM
mented upon testimony given in a
1sial, at time the jury was out of
the custody of the sheriff, and the
trial court held that these comments
might be read by the members of
the jury, and would influence their
verdict, and the higher court sus-
tains this view.
The City Item very pertinently
says:
-. If this decision stands and can
Be cited as a precedent hereafter,
The effect will be that as soon as the
trial of q case has commenced in
one of the courts, a newspaper must
not say anything about the matter
at issue. Therefore, the best way
TO muzzle the press would be to
take the matter it IS desired to hush
mp into the courts. If it is lrnlaw-
full to publish anything that may
fall under the eye of jurymen rel
alive to case on trial, then the
public should be excluded from the
court rooms, and if the newspapers
cannot print comments upon a
thing that has actually transpired,
the next natural step would be to
order the people-the public-not
10 dare utter any comment upon tes-
timony, or the right, or justice of
the cause at trial. Such comment
might get to the ears of the jury
and influence a decision.
This is certainly dangerous as
well as extraordinary condition of
society. Under such a state of af-
fairs, if newspaper had undoubted
evidence that great crime was be-
ing committed by perjury or cons
piracy, or bribery, or through any
means, by which justice would be
defeated, the press is forbidden to
utter any warning to the people.
For every injustice done to any
cause by publication of facts or
comment thereon, there have been
thousands of injustices prevented
Were a wrong done through
it can be crystalized in
to case of individual damages, but
TO say that newspaper must not
comment upon a case because jury
of twelve men are supposed to be
so weak-1ninded as to give more
heed to a Newspaper comment than
to ssthe law and evidence" is, to
say the least, rather rough on the
jury"
1t is to be hoped that the matter
will be carried up to the United
States Supreme Court for final adj
Indication, when our t'five solons"
will be apprised of the fact that
they have not the power to abridge
The freedom of the press, as this
decision practically aim S to do.

COLUMBIA RICE MILL
NEW YORK.

NEW YORK,
We beg to call attention to the
fact that we have commenced mill
ing for the new season. Planters
who propose shipping rough rice
to be milled on toll-will do well to
write us as to the amount they are
likely to ship and the probable date
of shipment. This will enable us to
place same on our mill roster and
by the turn being thus engaged, inn
mediate attention secured as soon
as the rough is received.
Holders Of old crop will Go well
to send it right along before the new
crop makes it tstake a back seat"
Do not mix the old and new to-
gether as they mill differently and
they both suffer.
Care should be taken to pack in
good strong bags, also to mark
plainly that lots may not. get mixed
with others coming to- us by each
incoming steamer.

The . 7th Ohio.

The regiment was organized at Cleveland,
O., from Sept. 8, 1861, to March 1, 1862, to
serve three years, and was retained IN the
service until Aug. Z, 1865, when mustered
out 1t started out with Edward Slber as
Colonel, and he continued in command until
March %, 1864, when he resigned, leaving
Leut-Col. Louis Won Blessingh in charge.
1t was the third German regiment raised in
the State, and part of Blair's Division, of
the Fifteenth Corps. 1t lost Ill men in
killed and 50 men who died of disease and
ether causes total loss of 206 men. At
Princeton, w. Va, 13 men were killed and
45 wounded a total of SO in one battle. AT
GAINESVILLE, on Nov. 80, 1868, the regiment
received orders to march with the division
to East Tennessee to drive the rebels under
Longstreet from that part of the State. The
campaign lasted three weeks, and is MEN,
orabe from the intense suffering endured
by the men, the weather being intensely
cold, the men half-clad and numbers of them
shoeess and compelled to subsist on half
rations. 1t was with Sherman on his march
to the sea, and was in the principal battles
of that campaign.

received the order to advance not later than
4:30 D. m., and by o'clock were down in the
woods reoccupying the position vacated by
the Eleventh Corps.
think it is unjust for Lieut.-Col. HAM
lin not to give Gen. Berry's Division the
credit of coming to their assistance at that
hour, and by his incorrect maps lead readers
to believe that from to 7:15 p. m. we were
quietly resting behind our guns near the
Chancellor House, when the plain truth is
that for two hours and Is minutes of that
time we had been at the front
/ think the statement that Gen. Birney
made, as quoted by Col. Hamlin in your
paper of Aug. 10, ia about correct, for the
official loss of the Eleventh Corps in that
battle was 2,508, of whom 1000 were report
ed missing, which all old soldiers know
means that nearly all of them were taken
prisoners, and that leaves only sos killed
and wounded in the whole corps.
The official loss of the Third Corps was
4,039, of whom 3,439 were killed and
wounded, leaving only 600 reported miss
ing
The 18th n. J. numbered about 500 men !;
leaving out the 10 men to guard the KNAPP
sacks, the drum corps and other non combat-
ants, would make about 465 men that were
engaged, and of that number we lost 1872 in
killed and wounded, and one remained with
his wounded brother and was taken prisoner.
My own company (E) lost nine killed or
mOrtally wounded and 81 others wounded
1t takes but little thought to see which
corps did the hardest fighting, and among
the killed of the Third Corps were two Divis-
ion Generals, Berry and Whipple.
Col. Hamlin also says that on Sunday
morning the Third Corps was protected by
defeDses. / assert that part of the corps
had no defenses except trees and bushes.
We were not routed, either, early on Sunday
morning, as Col. Hamlin says, but fought
five hours, and then, reinforcements coming,
with our ranks decimated by hard fighting,
we fell back in good order to the Chancellor
House, our regiment pulling off one piece of
artillery, the horses to which having been
killed. After that the Jersey Brigade and
some other troops charged and recaptured
small line of works and held them for some
time, but no reinforcements coming they
again fell back with MS behind line of
works, where we remained most of the
time until we recrossed the river on May 6.

The Cherokee Strip.
A. D. Marble, Co. G, 10th H., Winfield,
Kan, reminds the comrades that the CheTo-
kee Strip will soon be opened to settlement,
affording an opportunity for thousands to
obtain good homes in an excellent climate
with good soil and water in most parts.
Soldiers and sailors of the late war, their
widows and their orphan children, are en-
titled to take claims upon these lands; pro-
vided they have never taken homesteads
before and proved up on them or relin-
quished them, and have never been upon
the lands in violation of the Presidents
proclamation. They have this advantage
over other persons they need not go in per-
son to locate the land and file on it, but
may have another person do it for them by
giving him instructions to do so, and the
filing so made will hold the claim for q
period of six months giving ample time to
go to it and settle and make improvements.
The filing fee is 81. There are doubtless
thousands of comrades or their widows or
orphans who would derive lasting benefits
from these conditions if they only knew of
the facts and opportunities; for that reason
he gives the above information.
