This case, which, for some weeks
r ■. perplexed and awfully puzzled the
i v .-; military authorities of this
, )r gdiudi-v ted on Tuesday, 26f.h nit.
j principles involved in the case,
| ', e {0 the community of the issue, the
[V c *hibited in argument by counsel,
. r.tioii and eloquence bestowed up
I
h- irned Judge, demands more than a
*_■ j D * notice.

I by counsel,* applied, and Judge

the legality of the arrest and Jdetaiu*
relator under the authority, judgment

, re ,| IC substantial facts of the case.—
„, , P fact, the question whether the civil or
• t ourts had absolute jurisdiction, or wheth
- concurrent, the military having first at
j ') lo ,oust or have priority of Jurisdiction
civil court, were the main issues in dis
r, ■ of both the civil and rnilita
orifi»*s were duly impressed with the duly
I:-ji ting the law when the law could be deter
,j. They knew that without law there can
t,o oaler, and without order all the mental, j
1 physical world is chaos, and all individ- i
social, domestic, political and international |
Din arc but "’confusion worse confounded .”— i
»■ ik must soon, then, yield to the strong, and j
That they should take who have the power,
And they should keep who can" —
o I universal acceptation. “Law,” says the j
wise and renowned Hooker, “has her seat
osom of God, her voice is the harmony ot
universe. All creatures in Heaven and
do her homage—the very least as feeding
rt\ the greatest as not exempted from her
difficulty in this case (as in every case with
of limited and clouded faculties and de*>
h, arts) was to catch the true accents of
u, i thru interpret them according to the
laid of truth and justice umiwcd by power
uu „.duct'd by flattery, affection, hate, fear, !
udin' or passion of any kind. The parties, if
v could xco and feel alike, would determine
tin >: rhe voice of the law would be truly the
ief (iod. In this ease the questions were
~| doubly complex —for they were viewed i
. . fn m different stations but judged of by
null' —the one the civil and the other the
t’v rules of action w hich govern society.—
w lik li s -parate the jurisdictions of courts
rt.;ys difficult of determination. Like the
ol the rainbow, it is doubtful where the
and (lie other begins. We think in this
,t tl "Judge determined, with clearness
ii! .. upported with reason (without which
-;o law), the true boundary of demarka
' on the civil and military jurisdictions.—
i dl'd, with great zeal and force by the
relator, that the assault and battery
* as, to the then knowledge of the relator,
, not as between the rank of soldier and
ut citizen and citizen—that every crait,
found, should display its true colors.—
ut. Greer, not having on the uniform of
i, or being in the discharge ot a military
that time or place, that the mere title of
•vr him no authority or auperioiity over a
, but, by bis own conduct, be hird reduced
< f temporarily to the ranks. That his mere
without its outward insignia, was no notice
world, and that the same measure should
■ti ll out to him a3 though lie was a citizen,
datively, no officer. It was answered that
Greer was an officer aud in the discharge of
v, viz: to persuade some of his command
this dcu ol prostitution— this path which
to the gates of hell —to the camps where
b longed, and that the relator could not.
norunce of his relation to Lieut. Greer,
was therefore responsible for all the conse
of that relation as it actually afterwards
cut in evidence. It was also urged by the
■d lor the Confederate States (and the point
rough- fortified by a decision of a Vermont
it no process issuing from the authority
' .to court, could oust the jurisdiction of a
. court already attached and in progress of
r Judge, after two days argument, dismissed
rpus and remanded the relator to the
■}' of the military authorities.
•io uot know which most to admire, the
of the Judge in dismissing a writ granted
Ii writ associated with valor, humani
■ haired to tyrants, civil and military—a writ,
j '-mints of which were wrenched from the
-'•v't of England’s kings by the mail-clad Ba
uunneymede and confirmed by the second
• • or his determination that mutiny and in
'ohnaiiun should be suppressed, and that the
• ny laws should bo respected and obeyed,
(he civic power weaving flowers and leaves,
beauty aud grace to the military pillars
■ now uphold our infant government. It was
ly rebuke that unnatural fear and distrust
' .izen-officers that would palsy the arms, breed
obedience among the soldiers, aud perhaps end
■ '.lie overthrow of all authority, civil aud mUi
(try,
boo much credit cannot be awarded to the
. Lt.-Col. Hunter, for the Confederate
’ and John Rutherford, for relator, for the
j *;i dustry and ability exhibited on their re
'■m sides of the mooted questions.
■would sav in conclusion, that if a military
- r is caught in a brothel, drinking saloon, or
°ther place of ill reputation, that, for the
- being, he should claim no favors from his
Hint if assaulted, unless it clearly appeared
"'as in the discharge of a military duty,
- otlVnce should be rather extenuated than
■■wU'd—titat even his uniform at such a place
‘ tj t* i o protection or give license to his
' ieQll es3 and libertiuism. The propriety and
■"“i-e of Lis conduct should be measured,
by the standard of his responsibility and position.
How can he expect to command, and be obeyed,
when he is unable to subdue his own vicious con
duct? The private looks to his officer for a mod
el by which to fashion his own habits and charac
ter. If, then, the God of his military, idolatry is a
drunken ape or leecherous monkey, it cannot be
supposed that the worshipper will be more elevat
ed in the scale of humanity.
We congratulate the public upon this happy end
of a conflict between tbe civil and military autho
ride o , the longer prolongation of which must have
been productive of serious consequences. A con
flict which would have verified the Latin saving—
/url a ridente et Judeo dolente" —which by a liber
al translation means the foreign Yankee laughing
and the domestic traitor not grieved. A couflict, of
which history gives no counterpart except the do
meatic broils which prevailed at Jerusalem when Vr
tusand his fierce Roman warriors were thundering
at the gates of the Holy City. We have no time
now to discuss the "quidditg and quillets ” of juris
diction as to courts, provided, substantial justice
is done. With the enemy thundering at our gates,
and tearing up our very hearthstones, the civil and
and military powers should (as in this case) yield
gracefully to each.other in every thing but stern
justice, holy truth and that honor which recoils
lrom a stain as worse than a thousand deaths.—
The principles upheld in the ease by the learned
and eloquent Judge and his energy and ability of
counsel the principles of justice and conciliation
exhibited will be remembered when Lieut. Greer
and private McKinney shall have mingled in un
discovered and undistinguished dust. Men die,
principles are eternal. A Volunteer.

The following report of the Trustees ot the Ma

Mayor and Council
of the City of Macon :
Gentlemen —In iormer years it was the custom
of the Trustees of the Bibb County Academy to
report, annually to the Grand Jury of the county,
but since the change in the name and character
of the institution—being now the Macon Free
School—it seems more appropriate that the report
should be made to your honorable body, especially
as the school is in pait supported by an annual
appropriatiohn from the city funds. For the pur
pose, therefore of forming a precedent which, it
is hoped, our successors wilt follow as well a3 for
the information ot the public—l beg leave to sub
mit the following financial report for the year end

The sehoul has been well attended during the
year which has just closed, numbering over one
hundred pupils, and we trust that it will continue
under the able superintendence ot the Messrs.
Singleton, to be an ornament to the city and a
blowing to many of her growing sons.
We shall be under the necessity of asking a
continuation of the appropriation by the city for
the support of the School. The condition of tbe
academy building requires a heavy outlay tor re
pairs, and without this appropriation it will be im
possible to sustain tbe school upon tiie free prin
ciple. it we had the uieaos of employing a third
teacher, the number of the scholars could be in
creased and the usefulness ot the school still more
extended, but in the pre&ent state of tbe country
we have thought it advisable to incur no risks
from an attempt to enlarge the enterprise.

The Steamer Emma Burnt.— The
steamer Emma, bound to Nassau, attempted
to ruu out at ’lybee on Saturday night, but
got aground at A enu.T I‘oiut during the night
at high watt r, and yesterday morning at day
light found herself high and dry without a
shadow of chance of escape. Tbe Yuukees
discovered her situation and sent a number
of barges after her, when her Captain set tire
to her cargo, which consisted of 710 bales of
cotton and some turpentine. The Captain
and crew of the Emma took their boats and
left her. They were pursued by several
Yankee barges some five or six miles, but
but succeeded in reaching our city yesterday
morning.
After the crew had left the Emma but a
short tune flames issued fiom all parts of her,
and we have no doubt she will be entirely
consumed, together with her cargo. The
Emma was built in Charleston, and her
present owners paid about seventy-five thou
sand dollars for her. From the bluff all yes
terday forenoon she could be seen burning.
Destructive Fire. —We delay further
our present issue to give a hasty account of
a destructive tire, which occurred this (Thurs
day) afternoon. bile we write the im
mense (iuu Factory in tbe lower part of this
city is being reduced to ashes. The fire
originated in the “drying room” and before
the workmen were aware of it the roof of the
building was a sheet of flame ; fortunately,
all escaped without injury. Some of the
workmen leaped from the windows of the
second story.
The loss will not be far short of $75,00.0,
in machinery, unfinished guns, Ac., besides
the total destruction of the splendid new
th ree and a half story brick building. The
entire community sympathizes with the cn
ergetio and gentlemanly, but unfortunate
proprietors.
The b uilding belonged to our esteemed
townsman, Ylr. John C. Eve. Wo are not
informed as to whether there was any insu
rance on the building. We regret t» learn
that .Messrs. Dickson, Sadler and Nelson
were not insured. —Rome Southerner.

telligence of the death of our iVHow officer, Lieut.
E. A. Smith, of Companv K, who tell mortally

26th of June.
Resolved , That while we had entertained strong
hopes of the recovery of Lieut. Smith, we now
know that we must bow with humble resignation
to his fate. That in his death we deeply deplore
the loss of one so sociable, brave, sell sacrificing
and ever ready to do his duty, sometimes even
when he was scarcely physically able to do so,
thereby setting an example worthy the emulation
of us all.
licsolved, That his family and friends have our
sincere sympathy in their grief, for the loss of one
endeared to them by so many tender lies and no
ble qualities.
Resolved , Tiiatacopyof these proceedings be
forwarded to the family of our departed friend,
and the same be published in the Macon papers.
