AS ranch Interest te felt throughout the country in
regard to the prospect* of the eottou and other crops
we will he gratofirt to our planting friends and others
n the interior for information on that subject. Those
who have opportunities for obtaining valuable infor
mation in regard to the growing crops, the working
of the free-labor system, and kindred matters, of gen-
eralinterest, will confer a favor by communicating
the same to U§.
Tine Supreme Court.
The recent decision of the Supreme Court
Adverse to the law of Congress authorizing
the trial of persons not in the military ser
vice of the country by military commission
is hailed with satisfaction throughout the
country, as ■ u._- . -suranee that it is the de
termination of ihut tribunal to protect the
Constitution against the revolutionary de
signs of the Radicals. This assurance is
greatly strengthened by the announcement
that several suits are now before the Supreme
Court which will evidently involve the status
of the unrepresented States. The Washing
ton correspondent of the Baltimore Gazette
says this great questiou will probably be set
tled, at least in time to prevent the practical
application of the extreme doctrine of the
Radicals to the Southern States, if they
should succeed in controlling the legislation
of Congress upon this subject, which is
doubtful. *
It follows from the late decision, also,
that every citizen who is now imprisoned by
order of a military court will be released from
his confinement and go absolutely free, un
less he shall be lawfully tried and convicted,
after an indictment duly found, in the district
where his offence, if any, wasi committed.
An instance already occurs in the case of Dr.
Watson, lately brought under military arrest
in Virginia, for the trial of whom a military
court was actually in' session at Richmond,
by order of General Schofield. The Presi
dent, it will be seen, has promptly ordered
the dissolution of the military commission
in the case, under the decision of Cabinet
oouncil.
Gen. Sherman’s Mission.—A New Orleans
paper says Gen. Sherman is reported to be
much discouraged with the condition of af
fairs in Mexico. The Juarez party was un
popular, and the whole country divided into
factions.
Per contra, the Washington correspondent
of the Baltimore Sun says: “The mission oi
Minister Campbell and General Sherman to
Mexico is not a failure, as has been reported
by telegram from New Orleans. These offi
cers are now in New Orleans and have com
municated with the Government. It appears
that at Vera Cruz they learned of a change
of plan as to the removal of French troops.
They were courteously received- by Marshal
Bazaine, who proposed to give them safe
conduct to the city of Mexico, that they
might thus communicate with Juarez. For
prudential reasons, in view of wliat they
learned at Vera Cruz, General Shermnn and
Mr. Campbell declined to go to Mexico, and
started for New Orleans for the purpose of
communicating with the Government, and
thus avoid complications. ’
A Good Hit.—The Radicals are in great
distress,- says the Philadelphia Age, because
some of the freedmen of the South are* pun
ished with flogging by the courts. There is no
end to their wailing _ and lamentation upon
this point, and, in their eyes, to whip a hu
man being, provided be is black, is-the very
height of brutality. White females, however,
are fit subjects for the lash in Massachusetts.
In Cambridge there lives a pedagogue who
recently was severely disciplined for gross
cruelty to his white sisters, and in order to
express their approval of the judicious man
ner in which he laid the lash on their juve
nile backs, his admirers in Boston lately pre
sented him with a purse of three hundred
and fifty dollars as a small testimonial of
their affection and regard!
Corruption and Frauds.—The Northern
papers generally are noticing, what they
state to be (act, that there is constant de
velopment <>1 frauds aud swindles of every
- possible description, in all parts of the coun
try. Smuggling, defalcations; revenue frauds,
illicit distillation of spirits, and violations
and evasions of the laws in every conceiva
ble way, are now the burden of most of
the news columns of a daily journal. As
the Philadelphia Ledger remarks, either the
country now is in a condition ol extraordinary
weakness, or else the concealed villainies of
a long period have been suddenly uncovered
to the light of day.
When Queen \Ti ctor ' a made her recent
visit to Wolverhampton, England, to dedicate
the statue to Prince Albert, her cortege pass
ed under six triumphal arches on their way
through the principal street. The chief of
these arches waabne of iron and coal, to wheih
the Earl of Dudley contributed twenty-live
Ions from one of his famous collieries, some
of it being hewn into blocks weighing two
tons each. There was also an arch com
posed of hardware and japanned goods, among
which coal scuttles were quite conspicuous.
Labor.—Noticing the meetingjaf planters
called in various portions of Mississippi and
elsewhere, to consnlt as to the best sort of
contracts to make with freedmen, the Pica
yune recommends the adoption of the usual
free State plan with men of all colors : “Til
hire you by the month or week at so mnch,
feed yon alone so long as yon stay with me,
and discharge you -whenever you foil to do
good work; pay you cash"down at the end of
your month.”
Subsistence Supplies for the Cabolinas
—Col. James V. Bomford, commanding the
Military Department of the Carolioas, has
directed the commissaries of bis command
to obtaia from the chief commissary of the
department full supplies of breadstuQs and
meats for the subsistence of the destitute
whites and blacks in that department
We see it stated that peonage exists io
California, the same as it does in Mexico.
Peonage is slavery, only in a worse form; for
while the master, by the old law, was com
pelled to keep and support bis slave in his
old age, the peon is turned adrift when his
services are no longer profitable.
Mexican dispatches state that Maximilian
has raised ten million dollars and forty thou
sand men for the defence of the Empire, and
is determined to remain in MeaJco. He has
issued a call for a Congress of the Mexican
people. '
Prentice says * “General Butler carries
op war as little boys sleep, to keep them-
warm—spoon fashion.”
The Season* of Life.
- The rejoicings we have witnessed daring
the present week among the little folks sug
gest a theme noteworthy the consideration
of a thoughtful mind. When contemplating
their innocent amusements, when we’ look
upon their placid countenances, and see in
their joyous; sports such a brimful of happi
ness, we can almost wish that they might re
main children always. Bat as no two seasons
of the year be alike, so neither can any period
of life continue unchanged. * And as the
year has its seasons of growth and. decay, of
gaiety and gloom, so lias life its seasons* of
joys and sorrows, of pleasures and cares. It
cannot be nninteresting to note the objects
which severally afford us pleasure as we ad
vance from infancy to old age. To commence
with the time of Oar own recollection, these
objects are so numerous and diversified that
it would require pages to describe them. We
can well remember the few years when the
holidays and ite anticipations were our chief
delight. Happy, happy days were they!
And how strange it seemed to us that^other
thoughts than those which filled the
minds of children on such an oc
casion, conld occupy the minds of those
who were older than we. Wealth, fame,
honor, intelligence, could hot Awaken a spirit
of ambition and emulation in the youthful
heart. These, too, were the days ot marbles
aud ball, of jumping and racing, of fishing
and hunting. As -time passed away these
amusements afforded less and less pleasure,
and soon they were forgotten amid others ol
a far different nature. Society became at
tractive, and hours that had been spent ill
enjoying or anticipating a game at ball, were
now occupied with thoughts of gay com
pany and the fascinations ol the lair. This is
about the' first step in the transition from
boyhood to manhood. When a youth ceases
to take an interest in the spinning ol a top,
aud keeps aloof from the society of his
former comrades, it is because hie mind
yearns for higher objects of enjoyment.
He treats with indifference the amuse
ments ol past years, aud wonders that
they could ever have afforded him any en
joyment at all. Delightful iu the extreme
are these years of our dawning manhood.—
With no sorrows and but few cares, we are
hurried along with the tide of life, totally ig
norant that we should ever be governed by
different thoughts or motives than those of the
present- But ere we have long indulged in this
intoxicating dream, life opens before us iu a
far different aspect. The voice of ambition
whispers—wake, and the innocent joys ol
other years continue to delight us no more.
Once it was our .highest aim, if aim it may
have been called, to excel in tbe petty sports
aud exercises of youth; now the objects of
manly desire, such a9 wealth, intelligence
and power, alone excite our emulation. That
part of a boy’s life which is spent at school,
aflbtds a striking illustration of the changes
that occur in the objects of human wishes.
A srnan, active, intelligent boy, when in
the pursuit of knowledge, aud wheu inspired
by a laudable ambition, becomes so wholly
absoi bed in bis daily duties as to become
wholly indifferent to everything like youthful
enjoyment. And when be launches out
upon flie active duties of life, and is striving
lor distinction in some department of human
industry, he wonders that he should ever
have been so much concerned over the suc
cess or failure ot his little schoolboy projects.
But be would have been less or more thau
human, if he could have passed through this
season of youth without being influenced by
its incidental objects of desire and ambition.
The *• asoa of manhood extends through
far the g eater portion of human life, and ike
our owe spring time, it has its days of cloud
and son nine, of brightness and giuotn.
But w all its variations, all its changes ui
ood aud evil, of joys and sorrow - -, this is
the most important period of humuu life.
Manhood! There is something inspiring in
the sound- It signifies something that is
noble and elevated; something on which tbe
progressive power of society and of the world
depend. The want of this element among
men has often, as history lias (aught us,
hastened the downfall of nations, and re
tarded ihe progress of civilization. The
effeminacy of tbe Roman people, which long
years of luxury aud dissipation had pro
duced, proved the deslrucliou of that once
mighty empire. It sometimes happens that
a tropical plant takes root in a Northern soil,
shoots up and exhibits signs of blooming.
But ere the petals have fully opened, the cold
chilling winds pierce through the tender bud,
And it withers and dies. Thus it is with
man. He sometimes emerges from the sea
son of boyhood and youth, and enters on the
long and rugged road of life, for which he is
unprepared both by nature and education;
aud like the flower of which we have spoken,
he makes a bold and active start, but soon,
when tbe cares of life begin to cluster around
him, he gives way and sinks in despair.
Woe to that mau who attempts to glide
peacefully and successfully through this
rough world, unless he possesses all the ele
ments of a well developed manhood.
When the season of manhood is ended, the
pilgrim sets- down in bis easy chair, and
while the harvest of past years is being gath
ered around him, calmly awaits the approach
of death.
Gen. Sherman at New_Orleans.—A dis
patch from New Orleans says that Lieuten
ant-General Sherman arrived here this eve
ning from Brownsville, his mission having
proven a failure, because of the refusal of the
Imperial authorities to grant him a pass
across their lines to reach Chihnanha.
Another dispatch announces the arrival of
Mr. Campbell, the Minister to Mexico, at
Galveston, Texas, and that he would proceed
immediately to Washington.
It i3 a singular coincidence, says an Eng
lish paper, that Major General Grant, a Scotch
officer in.the British army, in 1778, defeated
General Lee, in command of the American
forces in New Jersey, aud was afterwards pro
moted to the rank of Lieutenant-General,
and subsequently to that of General, in the
British army. . He died “very old,-’’ at his
seat at Ballendallock, near Elgin, Scotland.
The New Orleans Times learns that Gen.
Jo. Shelby and Gen. W. P. Hardeman, oi
Texas and some other Confederate exiles in
Mexico, have pnrchaaad large tracts of land
in the Hnasteea valley, for the purpose of
colonization. They have guarantees of se
curity from both Liberals and Imperialists,
as they taka no part in the politics of the
country.
