The latter retaliates by posting cir culars, and thus it stands. An Intekkhting Case -A ease of much importance and interest was [decided by the Supreme Court last week. Several years ago, Capt. Dun lap Scott, of Rome, was married to Miss Mary Jones, an adopted daugh ter of Dr. S. G. Hillyer. This lady plied when her child, a little girl, was only seven days old, after giving fhor daughter to Mrs. Jaynes, daugh ter of Dr. Hillyer, and wile of Dr. J. W. Jaynes, formerly a citizen of i Forsyth. Capt. Scott ratified the gift of his child to Mrs. Jaynes, and [committed her to the care and cus (tody of this lady, who patiently and [carefully nursed and reared her, till she was more than three years of age. i About that time ("not a year agoj iCapt. Scott died. Soon after his death, Mrs. Cleghoru, sister of Capt. | Scott, asked that the child might he 1 allowed to visit her at her home in Chattooga county, promising to re turn her at the. expiration of ten days. Instead of complying witli her promise, she kept the child ami re fused to deliver it to Mrs. Jaynes. Dr. Jaynes immediately sued out a writ of habeas corpus for the jiosses siori of the child, arid tire euse was argued before Judge Underwood, of Rome, who decided adversely to the claim of Dr. Jaynes, and allowed Mr. and Mrs. Cleghorn to retain the child. The case was carried to the Supreme Court and the decision of Judge Underwood .reversed, and the little girl will be again restored to its foster mother, who has no children of her own, and who has grown to love this one as dearly as even a mother loved her own offspring. | Rome Courier.

Charleston, May 20. First day Charleston regatta: From the south ern wharf the competing boats were towed to the starting point by the steumer Winfield Scott, and every thing being arranged the signul was lired, but owing to the roughness ol the water the single scull shells were not put In position, arid after about an hour’s suspense the second race came off, which comprised the follow ing four-oared outrigger gigs: Ella Lee,Electric, Independent Club; An nie Carolina, Independent Boat Club; Felicia, Palmetto Boat Club. After the first quarter had been past the Palmetto shot ahead, followed close ly by tho Electric,the Carolina losing ground. While rounding the point of the battery the Electric rnude a desperate effort to take the lead,*and with the rapidity of lightning their oars cut the water, but the distance which the Palmetto had gained and their determined stroke bade defi ance to the Electrics. When the ter minating point was reached the vic tory was won by the Palmettoes, by twenty-three seconds, in advance of the Electrics. We understand that owing to some uneontrolable cause the Carolinas could not use their light gig, Annie, and pulled the race with the Wave, which is much heav ier and harder to manage. Tho sec ond race, which attracted considera ble attention, was won by the single skull, manued by A. B. Legate. To morrow a more exciting race is antic ipated. Weather statement.
