We learn from the Memphis Bulletin that it 1 made the following important decisional Ihecaaeof Humes, administrator of 1 Stoners. Ward, etc., was decided in favor ’ of the complainant. A good deal of interest has been felt in this ease by persons 1 who have had dealing in Confederate cur- I rency. Stoner borrowed from Ward, in 1 the early part of 1862, about 812,000 of Confederate currency, and gave bis note i Im’ 'he amount to Ward, and, to secure I ’he nojfc, onve a deed of trust on the lot 1 on which is th® Senate House on Jeffer- 1 son street. I ( The court held that the note and trust * deed were void, acd ordered the same to be canceled, and the truatee to be perpet- 1 ually enjoined from attempting to sell the ' house and lot. The court also decided that it is r.jt, n'cessary to the validity to write and other process injudicial pi .seeding in the courts of the State, that the internal revenue stamp nree-.lbed by the act of i Congress, should be affixed to the writ or process that the Government of the Uni-1 toJ States baa not the constitutional power to require stamps to be affixed to process issued by t'.e State courts. The opinion was prepared snd read by Judge Alvin Hawkins, and is spoken of, by the bar as marked by great leucing >nd cog’oey of argument

The Deering Tamil? Murde —Full f oufewioa of Probst—All the Marder* Committed b»(the ( ondeain d. We have already published a telegraphic vynopsis of the confession of Probst, themurder of the Dzzrixo family. The following is fader, and gives all the par. i tiealers as narrated by ths miserable, villian to his eonfeaaor: PH’LADerPHia, May 7.—Probst ha* made a full confession to hi* priest of all the murders of the Deering family, com meoeing with Cornel a* Carey, the hired boy He had no accomplice in bi* blood y work. After describing '.be murder of the boy Carey, he says: “The sight of the fflood of the boy orryiwed in me a devilish and bloodthirsty feeling, and I determined at once ' to murder the whole family.” He disposed of the body of the boy, as des- 1 cribed before, and then deliberately I told “Charlie,” the little boy next in 1 years to “Willie.” who was absent, that he wanted him to do some wor* in the 1 barn. The little fellow followed and ns = >on as he got doer he with a —bMwjhftjL ;. He then went . -oil Mrs. Deering there was ->,.ueihing the matter with one of the rows, and he wanted her to come to the barn She went and be followed, and as soon as she entered inside he struck her in the bead and killed her. He then went back to the house, and . brought the children out, one at a time, and taking them inside the barn, dispatched them, one by one, with the same ax*. In each ins’ance he cat their throat* and placed their bodies tn the corn crib, hitnsel*. just in the position they were found. He then covered the bodies up and proceeded to wipe out all I evider.ee of hi* guilt. He then went back to the house and awaiting the ar rival o.‘ Mr. Deering, not expecting that Miss Dolan would accompany him. As soon as Mr. Deering arrived in the carriage he got out, and Probst told him something was wrong with one of the cows, and asked him to go over to the barn with him. Mr. Deering went along with him. and Miss Dolan went into the house and took off her bonnet and furs. Mr. Deering did not even take off his glove* before [ oing to the b»rn, bat proce*ded there at once, followed by Probst, who had an ax concealed ready for u«. As soon as Mr. Deering entered <he door! Probst states that he struck him in the 1 head and felled him to the earth, and then chopped at his neck with the edge i of the axe. Mi«* Donald was the nert and last victim. She proceeded to the barn after coming down stairs, and not finding any of the family in the house, and Probst who was in waiting, for her, treated hei as he had done thereat of the family. After carrying out the bodies an 1 covering them up with h*y, the murderer went into the house and com- , menced searching for valuables. Ho ] state* he got no money, but expected to j secure a considerable amount. He states , that Miss Dolan’s pocket book had very > little in it. He saw nothing whatever of I ! the two £SO compound interest notes , and £2O bill of the same character, that , (are missing. He remained about the 1 house for tome time, picked up the ar-1 tide* found in the black valise, and left about dark. His further movement* i were pretty much as brought out on the 1 trial, and which are patent to the minds < of '.he whois community. Probst states ( that he would have confessed to all the ■ murders before, but he feared that if he |

Ri so he woxsdb* torn to pt*ce* by tb* mob. SSCOX3 nOSTATCK.

His father and ixotber w*re still livia at Eaden. He enlisted twice and debited, first in the Forty-srs; New York, and Uien the Fifth cavalry. He planned every day to get Deering’s money, bat had never chance. He eay»: “My first plan was* to kill him, and get the money; I coaid not get the money in any ocher way; I thoeght of kii.ing them at the house, as they cum down in the snornng; I got the ax sometime*, ready fori .them when they came down evenings: I bad some good chance*, bat my heart failed me.” After describing the manner of murdering Cornelias Carey, and Mr*. Deering *nd her children, he give* the fullowng explanation of the killing of the infanu: “Then I went over to the house and took Annie and told her that her mother wanted to see her in the stable. She did not say a word- Then I look a little baby—l took it on my arm. The little girl walked alongside of use. I left the little baby on the first corner as yon go into the stable, playin oa the hay. Tbenl went to the same place where I killed the o’hers; she looked around, like for her mother, who was in the hay; she did not say anything: I knocked her down at the first blow, and cut her throat the same as the others, then I went back' and got the little baby, and struck it on! the bead in the same place there; I hauled them into the same place. After describing the killing of Deering and Miss Dolan, the fiend says be took out Mr. Deering's pocket book, but only got seventeen dollar*, including a counterfeit three dollar note. He saw noshing in Miss Do'an’s pocketbook but postage s!*mp« He was not lying now. He thought they bad much money. After securing other articles, money, etc., ’ (afterward found in his possession,) he washed and dressed hims*H r patting Deering’s clothes on, »nd then a'e some bread and batter. The *coundrel Ire qaently laughed while detailing hi, con session of these horrible crime,. The Working Man. He is the noblest man of whom our free country can boast; whether at the workshop or at the plow, you find him ' the same noble hearted, free and independent being. And if there i* a man in so-iety upon wnotn we look with es-1 teem and admiration, it i, the * dent, sober workingman. 00 , whether he bef«r 3^--- <- \ nls or ' mon ~,-r hi* toils are en- ...« workshop, ’.be field or the mine; whether hi* home is in the backwoods or the neat cottage, our admiration is the *am?. What a happy pic’.ure he present,; what a reward for his labor, who by bi, own unaided exeitions, establishes for himself a respectable poutiou ia society; who, commencing in poverty, by his skill and assiduity surmount* every obstacle, overcomes . every prejudice, and finally succeeds in forming a character whose value is eo- i banced by those who come after bim Such a man we prize as the noblest.: woi k of which human nature is capable I —the highest production she can boast. | And let it be born in mind by the young workingman just entering upon' the stage of active lite—let it ever lie at the foundation an! be the moving spring of all his efforts, that this situation he i must strain every nerve to attain. It ean be attained by all. Untireing industry and virtuous ambition never fail to find their reward. Tney never yet were exerted in vain, and never will be while honesty and justice find 3 home in | the humsn breast. It wa« letnarked by ( an eloquent writer, "that the working-. man who bid no '.uderitance but virtue, | is the sole k : r.g among men, anl the only man sn.jng king,.” “He envies not the son of ease, Nor lord in princely hall. But bows before the wise decrees; In kindness meant for all.” Secretary Stanton. A Washington correspondent of a radical cotemporary writes thus: The announced adhesion to “My Poliey,”of the very able Sectetary of War, will strike a chill into ths heart, of thousands. We have looked on the War Department a, an impregnable fortress, not to be stormed by Executive blandishments. But there is little doubt that Stanton has gone over, deserted the r standard which he has defended, and left the friends who have never faltered in supporting biot. Well! we have only got to be more determined sad vigilant. Stanton is not msch given to any party, but bis defection fro.a radicalism shows that he sees the coming storm that is to sweep it out of existence.
