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.
