A dissenting opinion was filed by Chief Justice Mclver. The decision of tbe Conrt sustains tbe appeal of the defen? dant on tbe 4tb, 5th and lOtb exception^ which were as follows: 4. Because bis Honor erred in refusing to permit tbe defence to put up a witness in reply to the 8tate's witness, Finlay, who swore at the trial that be did not re? member whether be bad made a different statement just after tbe homicide or not, for the purpose of contradicting such wit? ness, when tbe foundation for such con? tradiction bad been properly laid. [The 5th is substantially the same as the 4tb exception] 10 Because bis Honor erred in charging tbe Jury, in reply to the request of Judge Melton, " Will your Honor please explain to the Jury that if one attempts to draw a pistol that is action?" "That would de? pend on circumstances whether it was an assault or not Simply drawing tbe pistol in a quarrel I don't think would be an assault unless he offered to nse it upon tbe person of another;" when be should have charged that if two men are in a quarrel, and one of ihem draws a pistol, the other one is not bound to wait to ascertain what he is going to do with it, for such delay might be fatal to his life. Moneley News. We come again, Mr. Editor, after a uileooe of several weeks, but will not tell your readers of all that has happened 'round about here during that time, be? cause some of the boys have been guilty of some mighty mean tricks, and they don't want it t d get out on them, but things will out, and some of the older citizens have go; bold of it and evidently are determined to put an end to it. What is it that will induce a crowd of would-be popular young men, (and some of taem, too, from tbe once boasted land of Light and Liberty) to go out through the com? munity breaking down doors, destroying dishes and furniture, killing chickens, turkeys, etc., and scaring the inmate* within an inch of their lives, and all just to have a big time ? Who is at the he?d of it any bow? and what does it all mean? for it is neither gentlemanly, honorable nor funny, and tbe boys ought to be ashamed of themselves, but remember, young men, I have not said anything about it. and do not intend to.

The farmers have made very little pro? gress since Christmas with their affairs, and "even at this late hour" they seem to be undeoided on the cotton orop and the purchase of Guano.

We believe there is a brighter day ahead for the Southern farmer, if he will hut use tbe God given resources that he is abundantly favored with. Tbe oat crop was totally destroyed by tbe severe cold, and it is thought that the wheat is mure or less damaged, also.

Scarcely anything has been done in tbe way of farming on account of the extreme bad weather. We believe the order of the day is cutting wood and trying to keep warm.
