Thursday morning he was brought by Judge Hancock, confessed his guilt, and was given sixty days in the county jail. His place of operation was on Greensburg road, one mile from Columbia. Mr. Sneed's troubles have just begun. When he serves out his sixty days the Government authorities will take him in charge. The way of the transgressor is hard.
