Gentlemen of the Jury?such charges are easily made, but disproved nith difficulty. The witness had evidently an animus. The prisoner had borne a good character, at least nothing has been jproved against him, and his readiness to THE FREE SOUTH?BEAU admit everything is creditable to him. Still, it is for you to say, Guilty, or not Guilty. Jury.?Guilty, my Lord!

His insolent denials, the class of witnesses, atheists, profligates, frequenters to theatres, gloomy conspirators, and the like make his guilt evident; besides which a gaoler heard him say .1[on Bin a in sleep, which shewed temporary remorse, linally, I happen to know that he is guilty, for I knew his father in his youth, ami he was a vile assassin.

As the season is now at hand for these pests, the auis, housewives and others who are troubled with them may } robably use the loliowiug trap to advantage: "Procure a large sponge, wash it well, and press it dry, which will leave the cells quite open; then sprinkle over it some line white sugar, and place it near where the ants are troublesome. They will soon collect upon the sponge and take up their abode in the cells. It is only necessary to dip the sponge in scalding water, whicn will wash them out by the tens of thousands. Put on more sugar and set the trap for a new haul. This process will soon clear the house of every i!ht." Artemus Ward, in speaking of the newspapers of his village, says "that the : advertisements are well wTitten, and the marriages and deaths are conducted with J signal ability." FORT, S.

It b;ts been reported to these Headquarters that persons are now in this Department who are contracting with the Frecdmen for the purchase of their cotton ? in ad van re of the harvest, at certain rates agreed upon now between the parties, which rates it is believed are much below its probable value when it shall be ready for market. And as the Ignorance of the real value of their cotton may cause them to make contracts to their own injnry. it is hereby ordered 1. That'no such contracts will be considered legal or binding upon the people. 2. There is hereby .'.llixed to the entire crop of cotton raised, or to he raised t his year, in the Department ot the ckalth, a lien in fnvcr of tk laborers U] on said cotton crop; and whether said amount due them, as by agreement with their employers, was to be paid them in money, or 1 y share of the crop, or both. 3. Before any cotton raised ou the plantations in this Department cau be shipped, a permit must be obtained from these Headquarters, where satisfactory evidence will be required that ail just claims of laborers and producers have been settled. i. Any person purchasing cotton from Frecdmen must obtain from the Gen. ral huporintendent of the Division in which such Freedmen live a cc:tiihv.te that such purchase was fairiy made, with duo regard, to the interests pf tnc Freodmcn and to the market value of the crop. This certificate must accompany every application to ship cotton. f>.
