This contained a small quantity of aromatic powder or of snuff, and on entering a house where an in fectious disease prevailed the doctor would strike his stick on the floor to agitate this powder, and then apply it to his nose. Hence all the old prints of the medicine men repre sent them with canes to their noses. —The frightful mortality of the Chinese coolies, imported into Cuba to supply the deficiency of negro laborers, and the hor rors connected with the traffic, long ago, it is known, induced both our Government and that of England to forbid their citizens to engage in it.

Although the campaign for the Presi dency has not fairlv opened, and little lias been done by our party leaders in the can vass—as they as yet have not seen the enemy or known what his line ol battle will be, and can not tell till after the meet ing of the New York Convention on Sat urday next —yet the cheering notes of active preparation for the combat, the swelling en'husiasm of the great heart of our loyal masses, sweep) over the country in favor of Grant and Colfax ; and even mail brings us gratifying assurance of a certain, grand, and final triumph for the Republican nominees a triumph, too, which our country now so greatly needs, a triumph of law over the lawless, a triumph of the loyal over the disloyal, a triumph of the great and humanizing principle of universal freedom and progress a noble, glorious triumph, bringing the gratifying assurances of peace to our distracted coun try ; harmony, happiness and prosperity to our people and the republic. “CitKATi ui:.-.”—l ho C/nimii A refers to Southern republicans ns ''creatures" having “guilty consciences.” In the first place, the vilest of all “creatures” arc such as the self-styled cx-“(iovernor” of licit journal and his followers, who rebelled against a good government, were whipped and subjugated, and solemnly promised to submit, arid then broke that promise and became more rebellious than before. Such “creatures” have thus twice perjured their souls. In the very nature of things, when they see and refleet on their great sin, they mml feel that (hey arc lost to all truth, to all decency, and all patriotism. Hence their desperation. In the second place, there is blood on their consciences—the blood of murder, of conscripts shot and banged; of women and children widowed and orphaned, arid in some cases starved by their policy—of a whole land drenched in fraternal blood to gratify their lust for power and office—of churches divided—of families alienated, the father against the son, and the son against the father—of, ill fine, a condition of things which starts grey hairs on young heads, which hardens delicate fingers in the toil for daily bread, which dooms myriads of innocent children to beggary and ignorance, which drives strong men to insanity and death! And yet such “creatures," instead of keeping silence in view of their enormous crimes against humanity and against their country, are constantly engaged in maligning and tra ducing our best people. Let them go on. The country is free in spite of them, and they can, therefore, say what they please ; but they are only adding to the weight of that popular condemnation which is con stantly increasing against them, and which will ultimately consign them to an infamy compared with which Arnold, and Burr, and other betrayers of their country, will appear “respectable.” * Colfax vs. Coai.fax. —A dispute having arisen between some persons in l)es Moines, lowa, relative to the proper pro nunciation of the name of the Republican candidate for Vice President, one of them addressed Him a letter of inquiry. A portion contended that it was pronounced Col fix, others claiming that it was Coal fax. The Speaker’s reply reads as follows : Washington, May 20.—My first name is pronounced as if written ‘Skyler,’ and the Inst as if written ‘Coalfax.’ The ‘a’ doubtless dropped out in crossing the ocean. Premature Crowing.— The opponents of reconstruction in Mississippi crowed before they were out of the woods. Gen. McDowell telegraphs to Gen. Grant that the Republi can ticket in that State will lie elected and JUNK. Jane leaves us to day. This leafy raonth > the season of Summer’s infancy, always brings the remembrance of childhood's hours, dedicated to youthful memories, and indis solubly associated with llie pastimes and pleasures of earlier years. The simple, un - obtrusive melody of Mrs. Gilman’s poem (known to almost every school child), rings upon the memory like the echo of a half forgotleu chime ; and within our inner mind is pictured, by force of sheer association, the pleasurable events of days lang syne : Motfior, dear mother, tlio winds are at play, Prithee, let me lie idle to day ; Look, dear mother, the Mower.- all lie Languidly under the bright blue sky ; Bco how slowly the streamlet glides, Look how the violet roguishly hides ; Even tho butterfly rest on the roso And scarcely sips the sweets as he goes. * ‘-a * a * # You bid me lie busy, bat, mother dear, !low tho hum-drum grasshopper snuudcih near, And the soft west wind i so light in its play It scarcely moves a leaf on the spray. The closing hours of June arc bright and beautiful enough to make up for the gloom of May. Tli ■ prospect is that July will give us a warm and sultry month, which, doubtless, will have the effect upon those who are tin fortunately denizens of the city to make them wish fin - a return of the coolness of tin: past thirty day.-. But the sad experience of the past.should tn.icli our people to prepare for “the heat :.i term.’ Tli re should be vigi lance and hygienic precautions on every hand. Let every housekeeper aid the au thorities in keeping the city in a clean and healthful condition. B|llow to Cure Bkugauy.— lt lias been remarked that there never were so many beggars nor so much suffering in our cities as at the present time. The attempt to relieve this suffering and remove the evil of beggary by charity, is like pouring wafer into a seive with the idea of filling it. The public charities are very expensive and themselves are often impositions on popular benevolence, while indiscriminate private charity as often does harm as good. The true mode of relief is to give employment so that the sufferers can earn their living; and if the able bodied will not accept work willingly, let them take it by compulsion. There is plenty of work somewhere, and if there is not sufficient demand in the city, the supply should be taken to tiie country, where there is no end to the demand for labor. Begging, thieving idleness, should not be tolerated nor fed gratuitously, anywhere. Thousands would be glad of the assistance which would place them where they could earn an honest living. * Laws of Divorce.- The laws of the several States relating to marriage and divorce arc so conflicting', ollcn nullifying each other, that it is beginning to lie seriously asked it steps ought not to be taken to secure greater uniformity. The subject is very important and lies at the foundation of all good society; and if the States can not so far yield the idea of •sovereignty' as to submit to a United States law regulating marriage and divorce, it would seem to be the part of wisdom that some mode of conference and adjust meat of the State laws oil the subject should he carried out. As it is, there is altogether too much injustice and rascality indulged in through the want of harmony in existing laws. GEN. GRANT AND THE JEWS. III'.AIXJI AUTEKS Altar Os THE U. S., ) Washington, May 0, 18(58. j Snt: Your letter relating to the order of General Grant, dated at Oxford, Miss, Dec. 17, IS<>2, expelling Jews, as a class, from his department, is before me. You are doubtless aware that General Grant has never, either by himself or through the aid of his friends, attempted to defend any military, order which the emergencies of the service seemed at that time to require. However, as my name is attached to it as Assistant Adjutant General, it may not he improper to state that at and previous to its date our military affairs were in a most critical condition, and important movements were transpiring. General Sherman was collecting forces at Memphis and Helena. General Grant was moving steadily against Pemberton, at Grenada,'keeping up appear ances of immediate attack, to divert his attention from Sherman, and in cooperating with Grant, Dodge was moving south from Corinth. The success of Grant’s plans depended in keeping the enemy in igno ranc of his real purpose, viz.: the surprise and capture of Vicksburg by Sherman, and it was therefore of the utmost importance that every avenue of information to tho enemy should bj closed. The most stringent orders had previously been published, forbidding persons going or coming through our lines, limiting tinders 10 certain boundaries, and prohibiting tho passage of corn South, or the payment of it for Southern products. Persistent violations of these orders by persons, principally of the Jewish race, were the subject of constant reports by many of Gen. Grant’s subordi mites, some of whom had even issued orders expelling them from tho lines, but which Gon. Grant had promptly revoked. Reports of the same character were also received from other than military sources. At length, on the evening of December 17, 1802 (the date of the order), the mail brought from Washington a large number of complaints, officially referred to him by the General-in- Chief ol the army, against, this class of persons, for violations of the above men tioned orders. The General felt, on reading them, that some immediate action was demanded of him. lie realized to its full extent tin; critical condition of military affairs, and judged, whether wisely nr unwisely, that,, to meet the exigency, action must bo immediate, thorough, and in a form not to be evaded. The order you refer t,o was the result. It was written and telegraphed to Ills subordinates without revision, leaving all persons not justly amenable to its terms to be relieved on their individual appli -a tion. die idea that it was issued on account of the religion of the Jews cannot he seriously entertained by any one who knows the General’s steadfast adherence to the prin ciples of American liberty and religious toleration.

McCallie k Jones, el. al., Plaintiff’s iu Error vs. The Assignees of tho Augusta Insurance and Banking Company.— Equity from Richmond. llakiiis, J.—The Augusta Insurance A Banking Company, a corporation existing, not having forfeited or surrendered its fran chises, made in 18(55 a deed of assignment to the'defendant in error for tho benefit of all its creditors of all its property, real and per sonal, that the assignees might proceed with reasonable and convenient-dispatch to con vert the same into money, and for that pur pose to sell and dispose of any or all ol the property in such manner and on such terms as they may il.-cm most for the interest of •said trust: Held, that such an assignment, not being prohibited by statute, is i good and valid assignment at common law, and that there is nothing in its provisions which brings it within the perview of the 13th and 27th Elizabeth- Held further, that the creditors us assignor are to be paid aicording to the rank or prior ity <4 their demands at the time of the assign ment.—Judgment iiliiruud. 15. true.-i A Ciim lilii gs for p: i ilill in Error.

Harris, J.— Plaintiffs rented a store in Augusta to defendant for one year, payable quarterly, for the consideration of $1,400 in American gold coin, to be paid in sums of three hundred and fifty dollars in American gold coin. Hold, that a specific contract like this can not be discharged by the payment of legal tender notes of a nominally equal amount, as they are admitted to have been in currency of less value than gold at the time of their tender in discharge of such special contract; hut that the plaintiffs below, upon receiving from defendant the actual difference iu value between tho American gold coin which he engaged to pay and the legal tender notes which he offers to pay (the amount of damages to which plaintiffs are entitled by the breach of contract), will Iheu be bound to receive the legal tender notes in discharge of the debt ol the defendant fixed by the ascertainment of plaintiff’s damages. A party specially agreeing to pay in bullion or coin, must do so, or answer in damages lor its value; and so, if one agrees to pay in depreciated paper, the tender of that paper is a good lender, and, in default of payment, the promisee can recover only its market and not its nominal value.
