A SLIGHT MISTAKE.—In our statement of a case in the Circuit Court the other day, in which M. McLaughlin was plaintiff, the name of our young friend B. T. Ligon was mentioned as having belonged to the militia company of which the other defendants were members. Mr. Ligon never joined the militia. He volunteered with the Mississippi Rifles in 1861 and remained in the Confederate service to the close of the war. At the time the whiskey was confiscated, he was temporarily on duty at this post but was not a member of the militia company. Capt. Green’s command did very efficient local service, and received the special thanks of General Adams, but it was nevertheless a militia organization, and it is not to be supposed that a four years’ veteran would desire to be placed on the "record" among the militia. We make the correction with pleasure.
