The vessel left St. i.onls on Tuesday evening Tor New Orleans hcnvlly laden with passengers, horses, mules, hay aud other freight. She was burned to the water's edge. >,n effort was made to land, but the boat was so heavily laden that sho could not reach nearer than one hundred yards or the shore. Great confusion and terror prevailed with about 200 cabin and deck passengers on board, a large proportion being women and children. The names spread rapidly, and scores or men Jumped into tho wntcr and at tempted to swim to the shore, and nearly all were lost. The pilot, eugineer, stoker, carpenter, and ferty-four passcugcrs are known to be saved. The captain, clerks and other Officers, aud many passengers, aro known to be lost. All the books and papers of the boat were lost, us were all (he cattle and other rrelght. Many persons died after reaching the shore rrom exposure, and the women and children wero lost, nearly nil being burned to death. The conduct or the passengers und officers hi said to havo been heroic. Such an ap palling scene has not been witnessed on thc.MIs slssippi for many years. The saved were kindly eared for by tho ofllcern of the Belle Memphis, and were carried to St". Louis.

The opiniou reads as follows: Supreme Court of the United States, December 7Vrm, 1868?No. 17 (Original.)?In the matter of Kdward It. Yergcr, petition for habeas corpus and certiorari.?Opinion of lit* Court by chief Justice Chase. statement of the case. Upon the prayer or tho petttlonVr, addressed to tho Circuit Court or tho United States for tho Southern District of Mississippi, a writ ol habeas corpus was directed to certain military orriccrs holding tho petitioner In custody, commanding them to produce his body und abide the order of the Court. In obedience to this writ tho petitioner whs brought Into court liy MaJur-0 noi.il K. S. Gran ger, who made his return, in due form, certifying the cause of detention to be that the petitioner had been arrested, and was held for trl.il, upon a charge or murder by a military commission under the act or Congress of the 2d or March, 1807, to provide for the more efficient government or the rebel States. Upon this return tho petitioner was ordered into custody or the marshal, and the court pro ceeded to hear argument. It was admitted that the petitioner won a private citizen or the State or Mississippi; that he was being tried *vy the military commission without a jury and without presentment or indictment by u grnud jury; and that he was not and never had been connected with the array er navy or tho United States, or with the militia In active service in lime or wur or Invasion. Upon thin caso the Circuit Court adjudged that the Imprisonment or the petitioner was lawful, and passed an order that the writ or habeas cor pus be dismissed, and that the prisoner be re manded to the custody of the military ottlccr by whom he had been brought into cou.'t. to bo held aud detained for the purposes aud to answer to the charge set forth In tho return. To obtain tho reversal or this order and relief from Imprisonment, the petitioner now asks for a writ or certiorari to bring here ror review the pro ceedings or tho Circuit Court, and ror a writ or ha bens corpus to be Issued, uudcrthc authority or this court, to tho officer to whoso custody he wus remanded. its 1 H COUT A N C It. Upon tho suggestion of the Attorney-General, matte In view of the importun?e of the questions wbicb will probably arise If the cose la brought to hearing, we have heard preliminary argument upon the Jurisdiction or the Court to Issue tho writ prayed lor, and have carefully considered the reasonings which have been addressed to us. This argument, by the direction of the Court,' was confined to thu single point of jurisdiction, and I am now to state the conclusions to which wc have come. tub question of jurisdiction. Tho general q'nostton or jurisdiction In this case resolves 1 tacit necessarily Into two narrower ques tions: . 1. Has tho Court jurisdiction, m a caso like the present, to inquire Into tho cause ol detention, alleged to.bo unlawful and to glvo relief, if the' detention be round to no In fact unlawful, by the writ or habeas corpus, under tbc judiciary act or 1780 Y 2. tr, under that act, the Court possessed the jurisdiction, has It been taken away by the second section of the act or March 27, 1808, (16 U. S. Statutes, 4*,) repealing so much of the act or Feb ruary 6, 1807, (14 U. S. Statutes, 80.) an authorizes appeals from Circuit Courts to the Supremo Court? Neither or those questions Is now here. The first has, on several occasions, received very full consideration and very deliberate Judgment. A cause so Important as that, which now in vokes the action of the Court seems, however, to Justify a reconsideration of the grounds upott which its Jurisdiction has been hitherto main tained. The great writ of habeas corpus has been for centuries esteemed the best and only sufficient defence of personal freedom. magna CHARTA. In England, after a long struggle, It was firmly guaranteed by the famous Aurora? corpus act of May 20,1079, (3 llrltlsh Statutes at Large, 3 Hal lam Constitutional History, 10,) "for tho better securing or the liberty or the subject,'* which, as lllackstone says, "Is rrequcntly considered as another magna Charta." (3 Dlackstone's Com mentaries, 135.) It was brought to America by tho colonists, and claimed an among the immemorial rights des cended to them from their ancestors. Naturally, therefore, when the Confederated Colonies became tbe United States, aud the form ation of a common government engaged tht-lr de liberations In convention, this great writ found lieraiuncnt sanction in the Constitution. That sanction is in these words: "3'ho privilege of the writ of habeas corpus sbnll not he suspended unless when, in cases of rebellion or Invasion, the public safety may re quirodt." The terms or this provision necessarily Imply judicial action, in England all the higher court's were open to applicants for the writ, and it Is hardly ?opposable that under tho new govern ment, rounded un more liberal Idcus und princi ples, nny court would be," Intentionally, closed to ibctu. Wc find, accordingly, that the First Congress under the Constitution, after Refining by various sections of the act of September 24, 1780, the Ju risdiction of the District Courts, the Circuit Courts, and the Supreme Court In other eases, proceeded, In the 14th suction, to enact, '-That till the before mentioned courts of tho United Stales she.I have power to Issno writs or sclre facias, ha.teas corpus, and all other wrils not specially provided by statute which may bu necessary Tor the exercise or their rcsp -ctrvc Jurisdictions and agreeable to thu principles and usages of law." (1 II. S. Stututes. 81.) lu the same section it was further provided, "Tust either of the jus tices or I he Supreme Court, us well us the Judges or tho District Court, shall have power to grant writ - of habeas corpus for the. ourposs i>f an In quiry Into tho cause or communient, provided that writs or Habens corpus shall In no case ex tend to prisoners In jail, unless they are In custo dy under or by color ofthc authority or the Unit ed States, or are committed ror trial before some court or the same, or arc necessary to he brought into court to testify." That this Court is one of the courts to which tho power to issue writs of habeas Corpus In exprCB ly given by the terms of this section, lias never been questioned. It would Iisvo been, Indeed, tt remarkable anomaly If this C.iurt, orduluud by the Constitution for tho cxcroitc, In tho United States, or the most important nowers, in civil ewes, or all tho highest ennrtsof England, had been denied, under a Constitution which abso lutely prohibits tho suspension of the writ, ox cept under extraordinary exigencies, that power In cases or alleged unlawrul restraint which the halteas corpus act of Charles 11 expressly declar ed those courts to possess. AI'I'KI.f.ATB AND OniOINAr. JnitlSDICTION. Hut tho power vested in this Court is, in an Im portant partlenlar, unliko that possessed by Hie English courts. Tho Jurisdiction of this court Is conferred by tho Constitution, and U appellate: whereas that of the English courts, though de clared and defined by Statute, is derived from the common law, and is original. .

In all the othor cases before mentioned, tho Supremo Conrt shall have appellate Jurisdiction, both as to law aud fact, with such exceptions and under such regulations as tho Congress shall make." - If the question wero a new one It wonld, per. haps, deserve inquiry whether congress might not, under tho power to.mako executions from this appellate Jurisdiction, extend the original jurisdiction to other cases than, those expressly enumerated in the Constitution, and especially In view of the constitutional guarantee of the writ of habeas corpus to cases arising upon peti tion for that writ, . : - ' Buttai the ease of Marbury ts.

In this court relier was denied on the merits, but the Jurisdiction was denied by ono Jndgo shly. And it Is difficult to And any substantial ground upon which Jurisdiction in that ease can be affirmed and denied in this. In Well's ease, (18 Howard, 308,) tho petitioner was confined In tho penitentiary, under a sen tence ol death, roiamutod by the ['resident into a sentence or Imprisonment for lire. He obtained a writ of habeas corpus from the Circuit Court of the District of Columbia; was brought before the court, and was remanded to custody. He then BOod out a writ of habeas counts from this court, and bis cose was fully considered here.- No ob jection tn the Jurisdiction seems to have been taken In argument, though there, as here, It was evident that tho actual Imprisonment at the time or the petition for the writ was not- under tho direction or the court by whose order the prison er was remanded, but by a dur?rent and distinct authority. ~ In this case or Wells, however, Mr. Justice Cur tis again dissented, and on the point or jurisdic tion Mr. Justice Cumphcll concurred with him. The other Judges, though all, except one, were of opinion that the relier asked must be denied, agreed In maintaining the Jurisdiction of the court. Judge Curtis, who regarded the question as left undetermined In Kaloe's case, admitted that the jurisdiction was asserted In this, and stated the ground of Judgment sraTinlng juris diction to lie that, "as the Circuit Court has had the prisoner bcrorc It. and has remanded him, this court, by a writ or habeas corpus, may ex amine that decision, And sec whether It bo erro neous or not.'* Since this Judgment was pronounced the juris diction In cases similar to that now before the court has not hitherto becu questioned. tub AUGtrUBKT consiukhkii.

'flic great and leading intent of Hie Constitu tion and the law must be kept const nut ly lu view upon the examination of every quest Ion of con struction. That latent. In respect to the. writ of habeas corpus, is manifest. It is, that every citizen may be protected by judicial action from unlawful im prisonment. To this end, us bus been shown, the act of 1780 provided Hint every court of the United States should have power to issue the writ. The Jurisdiction thus given by law lo tho Circuit aud Dlstrlrt Courts is original; that given by the Con stitution and the law to this court is appellate.

On tho con trary, the case is enc of those expressly declared not to bo excepted front-tho gouortl grant of jurisdiction, for it is a ease of Imprisonment al leged to be uniawrui, and ttji bo under color of autlrorlty or tho United States. it seems to bo a necessary rortsentience, that If tho appellate Jurisdiction by habeas corpus ex tends to any case, it extends to this, it is un-1 important in wiist custody tho prisoner may be. If It Is a custody to which he has been remanded by the order of an Inferior court of the United States.\. . ' It is proper to add that we are not aware of anything In any net of Congress, except the act of-1858, which indicates any Intention to With* held appellate J urinant Ion |a habeas corpus oases front this court, or to abridge the Jnrtadlcilon derived from the Constitution, and defined by the act of 1T99. We agree that Contrast may withhold or abridge it, Tor it i* given subject to ox cent Ion ami regulation by Cmigress, but It Is too plain for argument that the denial to this court of appellate jurisdiction In this class of case* must greatly weakeu the efficiency of the writ, deprive the citizen In muuy cases of Its laments, ami seriously hinder tbo establishment of that uniformity in decisions tipou questions of personal rights which can only be attained through appellate Jurisdiction exercised upon de cisions of courts of original Jurisdiction. In the particular class or cases of which thai-before the court is an example, where the custody to which thu pris-mer is remanded Is that of some authori ty other than that of the remanding court, It Is evident that the Imprisoned clllr.cn, however un lawful his imprlsoument may be in fact, is wholly without, remedy unless It be found in the appellate jurisdiction Of-tktS court. These considerations fdrfild any constructions giving to ibmbtfuf Words the effect or withhold ing or abridging tills jurisdiction. They would strongly persuade against the denial of the Juris diction even were the reasons for offering It less cogent than they arc. Wo arc obliged to hold, therefore, that In nil cases where a Circuit Court of thu United Stales has, la the exercise of its original jurisdiction, caused a prisoner to bo brought before it, and has, aflcr inquiring into the cause of detention, remanded him to the custody from which he wus taken, nus court, lu the exercise of Its appellate jurisdiction may, by the writ of habeas corpus, aided by the writ of rerfforarf, revise the decis ion of the Circuit Court, and If it be found unwar ranted by law, relieve the prisoner from tho un lawful restraint to which ho has been remanded. T1IK act op i sos. llils conclusion brings us to the Inquiry wheth er the ucconu section of the act of March 27. 180S, takes away or affects the appellate Jurisdiction or tills court under the Constitution aud the nets of Congress prior to 1807. We have already expressed in the MeCardle case an opinion that it does. Hut the polut was not carefully considered, aud we have re-cxainln cd it. (7 Wall, 616.) The circumstance* under which the act or 1808v was passed were peculiar. . '. TUB U'OAltOLZ CASK. On the Sth or February, 1807, Congress passed au act, to which relereucc has already been made, extending the original jurisdiction by halieas corpus or the district aud circuit courts, and or tho several judges or these courts, to uU casas or restraint or liberty iu violation of the Constitu tion, treaties, or laws of the United .-jlates. This act authorized appeals to this co'irt from judg ments of the Circuit Court, but did uot repeal any previous act conferring Jurisdiction by habeas corpus, unless by implication, lluder this uot one MeCardle, alleging uulawful restrulu*. by military force, petitioned the Circuit Court ror tho Southern District or Mississippi for tho writ of habeas corpus. The writ* was issued anil a re turn was made. Aud, upon hearing, the court decided.that the restraint was lawful, and re manded him to custody. MeCardle prayed on appeal, under the net, to this court, which wus allowed and perfected. A motion to dismiss the appeal was nindo here and denied. The case was then argued at the bar, and, the argument hav ing been concluded, on the Oth of March, 1800, was taken under advisement by the court. While the cause was thus held, aud before the court had time to consider the decision proper to be made, the repealing act under consideration was Intro duced into Congress, The act was carried through both Houses, sent to the President, re turned with his objections, rcpasncd by the con sUtutlonal majority In each House, and became u law on the 27th or March, within eighteen days after the conclusion or the argument. The effect or the act was to oust the court or Its jurisdiction or tho particular case then liefere it on appeal, and It Is uot to be doubted that such wus the effect Intended. Vor will it be questioned that legislation of this character Is unusual and hardly to be Justified, except uponloaraimperious public exigency. It was doubtless within tho constitutional dis cretion or Congress to determine whether such an exigency existed: but It In not to be presumed that au act passed under such circumstances was In-, tended to h?ve any further effect than that plainly apparent from Its terms. it is quite cht?,thai the worda of tho act reach not onlyJOS^SKSDb pending, but all future ap peals to thlsVK^rt under flic act of 1807; but they appear to be bruited to.appeals taken under that act. , ?; The words of the repealing sectton are, "That so much of tho act approved February 6,18S7, as authorizes an appeal from the judgment of tho circuit Court, to the Sapreme Court or the United 'States, or tho exercise or any such jurisdiction by nul Supreme Court on appeals 'which have been or may-bo hereafter taken, be, and the same is hereby, repealed.11 ; These words are not or doubtful Interpretation. They repeal only so much or tbo act of 1007 aa au thorized appeals'or the" exercise or appellate Ju risdiction by Utter court. They- affected only ap peals and appellate Jurisdiction authorized by that act. They do not purport to touch the up late Jurisdiction conferred by the Constitution by excepting from It any cases not excepted by the act of 1780. Tkey reach no act except the act of 1887. ' It has been suggested, however, the act or 1789, so rar as it provided ror tho- Issuing or writ* or habeas corpus by this court was ulrsady repealed by the act or 1887. We have already observed that there arc no repealing words lu that act. If It repealed the act of 1780, It did bo by Implica tion; and any Implication which would give to It tills erred upon the act of 1780, would give it tho same effect upon the acts ef 1833 and 1842. If one was repealed all were repealed. Repeals by Implication are not favored. They are sclduut admitted except on the ground of re pugnancy; and uever, we think, when the fermer act can stand together with tho new act. Ko doubt tho exercise or appellate Jurisdiction under the actor 1789 was less convenient than under the act or 1887: but the provision of a now and more convenient mode or its exercise does not neces sarily take away the old; and that this effect was uot Intended Is Indicated by the fact that the au thority conferred by the new act Is expressly declared to be "In addition" to the author it v con ferred by the former acts. Addition Is not sub stitution. The appeal given by this act of is?7, extended, Indeed, the cases within the former acts; and the act, by its grant of additional authority, so en larged the Jurisdiction by habeas corpus that It seemed, as was observed in the MeCardle caso, "Impossible to widen It." Hut this effect docs not take from tho act its character of an addition al grant of Jurisdiction, and make it operate as a ropcal of Jurisdiction heretofore allowed. conclusion. Oar soncluslon is that none of the nets prior to 1807, authorizing this court to exercise appel late jurisdiction by means of the writ of. habeas corpus, were repealed by the act of that year, and that the repealing section of the act of 1888 is limited in terms, and must be limited In off- et, to the appellate Jurlsdlctlou authorized by tlio act of 1S67. Wc could come to no other conclusion without holding that the whole appellate jurisdiction of this court, In eases of habt an Corpus, conferred by the Constitution, recognized by law, and exer cised from the foundation of the fiovernmont hitherto, has been taken away, without the expression or such intent, and by more Impli cation through the operation or the acts or 1887 and 1868. ' The suggestion made at the bar that tbo provis ion or the act or 1780, relating to the Jurisdiction or tho court by habeas corpus, If. repealed by the effect of tho act or 1807, was revised by the repeal or the repealing not has not escaped our considera tion, we are inclined to think that such would be tho effector 1803; but having come to the con clusion Hint the act of 1780 was not repealed by the act or 1867, It is not necessary to express an opinion on that point. '.'.'he arguincnrhavlng been conllncd, by direc tion ot tho court, to the questlou or jurisdiction, this opinion Is limited to Unit question. The juris diction or tho court to Issue the writ prayed ror Is affirmed. ju8tick m1i.lku m3skkt8.

It says : 14 Tho mercantile interest may sutler for a short time, but tho general adoption of tills policy will, in the end, prove advuntaireous to all. The merchant will receive the benetlt of wliatever advance there may bo upon the present price, and he ought to bo willing to wait. It Is salt) that twenty-two cents is a gootl price for cot ton, and farmers ought to be willing to tukn it in preference to risking a further decline; but we tlo not think Ibis is a fair price thin year. There is but little over a half crop made in the cotton States, and in South Carolina not so much as that. So that twenty-two cents Is only about cloven cents for a full crop. Hcdticc eleven cents to gold nnd the farmer realizes but eight and a half cents in goltl for his cot ton, which was not a remunerative price be fore the war, when labor was inne.lt cheaper and more productive than It Is now. Wo are now more thoroughly convinced than ever that the decline in the price in lite result of a cruel combinailou among speculators und cap italists. The farmers of this district are gen erally able to bold their cotton for some lime yet, and we hope they will do it." . The Murder at Horn's Mines. The Edgcfleld Adverslser gives the following account of the recent murder at Horn's Mines : "On Sal unlay night, October Oth, it brutal murtler was committed at one of the quarters connected with Horn's Steam Mills, near Rocky Pond, in this county. An Inquest was held by O. H. Hart, Esq., magistrale, ami acting coroner, and a verdict rendered by the Jury, "Stabbed with knives In the hands of sotuo person or persons unknown." "It appears that Dr. Glieslcin, who had the lease of the mill, bad . paid off hin hands on Thursday, October 7th, and retired from the business, deeming it unprofitable, for various reasons. Wm. Horn, Esq., owner of the mill, requested a neighbor, Gco. D. Tillmau, Esq., to employ some persons to tako charge of the property until ho could mako some disposition of it. Mr. Tlllman employed John I .undo u,, (one ot tho oltl employees,) who with pis wife Louisa London, were left on Saturday night lu charge of the property. During tho night they wero both attacked In their own quarters nnd brutally stubbed to death. Hi srht shots wero fired Into and through the house, supposed to bo from Winchester rifles?the calibre belog the same. "It 1b known that Landon had somo proper ty, and something like SRO or fno lit money. No clue has yet been found to the murderers. It is presumed that whoever committed the act were In possession of the fact that the de ceased had money, and were alone. "The Ceroner turnctl the property Into tho hands oi a friend of I .an don's, who has si nee taken out letters of administrai Ion. "The old couple were good livers and were universally respected by the people of the neighborhood, white and colored. Thu only theory that can at present be formed Is, that the murderers killed thu old man, and after compelling the woman to show where the money was, murdered her to prevent recogni tion or discovery. It Is certain that they at tempted to burn the bouse, as a piece ol burn ing wood had been thrown upon the pallet on the floor, and become extinguished. The scene of the occurrence is over a mile from any house, and the entire mutter seems en veloped in mystery. We hope that efforts will be made by the people In the vicinity, as well as elsewhere, to fer rot out this matter, and have the heartless villains brought to Justice." Shreds of State News.
