The first regular term of tliis Court will eoinmcnee on next Monday, the lllli insl. Wo learn Judge Parks will have a pretty heavy docket to commence with. Social l-D(iiality. Our Yankee friends are gelling mo-e than tlwy lurgaincd for by the passage of Ibc (’ivi! jii.ylu.-i biiH The practical work ing of the hill they seem wot to have thought alio f. They' are kicking up a general fuss because the n-groos are visit ing the Theatres, the Rosteraurtts, tlio Ho tels and riding on the Railroads. This is just as vve oxjlooted. It was forgotten on the passage of this bill that the ni/gcr would liavo, under it, the taine rights in the North that he was to have iu the South. But si it is, and tho negroes there seem determined to assort their rights. One fellow has announced his intention of storm ing tho dress-circle of the Academy of Music (which was burned down a few days ago,) and expressed his willingness to expend ten thousand dollars in affecting his object. One of tlio fashionable thea tres has Ixten successfully raided on, and its dre-s-circ'c decorated by the installation in tho post of honor of a couple of “ebo ny’’ ores, The beautiful belles ‘reddened’ terribly at the insult, but why should they, when their patriotic sires were in Wash ington arming the negroes up and down the avenues, and welcoming them into the galariesof tho capitol. Stand tho stink ladies, “all men are created free and equal' —thsts tho text now. And since you pro fessed to love tho negro so much, we hope they will visit your theatres, sloop in your beds, run away with your daughters, fill up tho family circle with “clay-bank” ba bies, swarm around vour houses, until you can scent them on tho water you drink, taste them in tho bread you cat, then, perchance, you may learn, what God has tried to teach yoa, that tho social equably of the two races were never in tended. The CaHS Tax. We suppose every real estate owner will soon bo called upon to pay tbo tax assessed by an Act of Congress in ISGI. In some counties tbo books are open—tbo sixty days’ notice having been given—and tbo collection proceeds. The plan thus far pursued by the collectors is to take tbetax books for IKGO ns tbo bus's for taxation. The tax to be paid is ono-tbinl ot one per pent, which is 33J cents on SIOO, or $3- 33J on SIOOO. All real estate is held re sponsible for tbo amount of tax against it, though it may not now bo in the possession of the samo parly who owned it in 1861. The tax is to bo paid for tbo year 1 SGI alone, congress having repealed tbo net at the next session after its passago. Every man cin make b's own calcula tion as to tbo amount of tax bo lias to pay by simply finding out the valuo of the land he now owns, which was owned by him in ISG1; this he can easily do by rofering to the tax books of 1861; then on each hun dred dollars ho pays 33 j cents, and on cv. cry thousand 3 33 J cents. The law exempts from taxation home steads of the valuo of five hundred dollars and under. It will bo seen from the abovo facts that this tax is not as burdensomo as many have supposed. Colton Tax. The ruinous policy of imposing a tax of 5 per cent per pound on Cotton, is becom ing so obvious, that tbo sound commercial in’nids of trio North aro arraying them selves against if. Some of the leading Journals, too, aro urging’ upon Congress the impracticability of the rneasuro. The planters in tbo vicinity of Mont gomery, Ala , aro memorializing Congress against tbo proposed tax; and the most of tliese are northern planters. Wo believe it would boa good move if all the planters throughout tho South would do the samo thing, and though tho bill has already passed tho House, such a movement might prevent its passage in tho Sonato. Unless this tax is prevented, cotton raising in the South is done, and the radicals will then, when it is too late, see tho mischief they have-wrought upon tho whole country. No doubt tbo tax was levied at tbo white man of tho South, but the partisan and Bcctionul animosity of tho radicals, has caused them, in this instance, to recom mend a measure which strikes at tho very existence of tho black rnan. Many of these aro cultivating land on shares with tho proprietors of tho land, and should cotton come down to 15 cents per pound, this tax will take from him just one third of his gross revenue. With this deduc tion it will bo irnjiosfsible fur him to keep toul uud body together. Wk have received another excellent ar tielo'from our corrc apomlent ‘(.'uroN,” and regret that the crowded sta'o of our col urniie, necessitate its lying over un il next week Toitcll Superior <’olirt. Tho May term cl this Court closed on Saturday last. Notwithstanding tho en ergy anil promptitude which characterized the trail actions if the week, much of the business on tho docket was not readied. Judge Clark will hold tin adjourned term commencing the 3rd Monday iu August, which, vve learn, w ill continue until the business is till disposed of. I*ri,skill un«l its Historical An tecedents. Anstiii and I’rusii, who now threaten to break the peace of Europe by a fratricidal war, arc among Ihe most pow erful military States in the world. With the exception of Russia and France, no nation can send to ibc field such formidable armies—armies that are numbered by the hundred thou sands of men. Austria has been for centu ries a leading power, but I‘rusia is a nation of moderate creation. Hhc is almost entire ly tho product, of tho military genius of Frederick the Great. When lie came to the l’rusiau throne in 1710, it was a small State, whose population did not exceed five millions of souls, and it hardly took the rank of a third power. It will ever bo one of the wonders of history how that morarch sustained himself and his conntry wheu he was called upon to face tho coalition of Russia, France and Austria, which were his united for destruction. Dut for seven long years—from 17f>Gto 1763—he did it successfully and in tbs end canto out victorious; five millions of pcoplo over eighty millions ! No such suc cessful struggle, against such odds, has been made in modern times. It carries the mind back to tho contests of Greece agaiust l’orsii, iu the days of Alexander the great, rn this celebrated conquest the great Fred erick had no natural barriers, no mountain ranges or unfordablo rivers, by which lie could hold bis enemies at bay. Ilis coun try was a level, sandy plain, that presented no means of defence except by the vsdor of its soldiers. Yet with all theso disad vantages, with a scanty Treasury, Frederick complcetly defeated the triple league of the greatest powers on tho continent, whoso uni ted population were as eixtuou to one of his. Tho termination of the war brought Prus sia into recognition as one of the greatest powers of Europe. For forty years sho reposed on tho glories of Frederick, and then took a stop that caused her to sot even more rapidly than she had risen. Sho met the forces of revolutionary France, directed by the greatest soldier of that or any other ago. It was not until a lu'o period of his career, in 1800, that the Emperor Napole on, who had been victorious over Italy, Aus tria and Busin, was brought into collision with Prussia. Tho military resources of that country were then managed as badly as they had been gloriusly by tho great Fred crick. Instead of going to war with the French rulor when he had Austria and Rus sia on his hand—when she would havo had theso powers as backers—she waited till he had destroyed tho Austrians at Ulm, and the Russians at Auatcrlitz, when Austria had been driven to make a disastrous peace, and Russia had retired to her Sythian wilds. It was then—with Napoloon at the head of tbo greatest army ho over commanded, and which had conquered all the rest of the continent —that Prussia rushed into tbo cn oountcr with him, with no ally that could afford her auy asistanco but Russia, and sho so fir distant as to make it, against Napoloon’j Hudden blows, useless. Purning with to retrieve the French laurels, which hnTOiuff red in tho war against Fred erick, Napoleon advanced his leigons against Prussia. Then ensued the campaign at Jena, which in two weeks destroyed all that the genius of Frederick had created. So illy were tho Prussians managed, and so tremendous were Napoleon’s blows, that in that tiuio their army of two hundred thousand men was de stroyed, their fortresses were all taken, their oapitol was in the poscsion of the invaders; and their king w; s ;i fugitive, protected in the main by Russian bayonets upon tho fron tier of Poland! Napoleon followed up liis victory with rc morslcss severity, and by the rigor of his terms, exacted a peace that reduced Prussia to the condtiiou of a scoond-elatu power. From nine millions of people it reduced her to five millom and a half, and by Lis monetary contributions impoverished the country. Smarting and lying porstrate un der the heel of the couqucror, Prussia could only bide her time. It soon came. When Napoleon was involved in the horrors of Moscow, the first State that rose in insur rection against him was Prussia. No nation then did moro to secure the downfall of tho French Emperor, llor legions were im mcscly strong in the campaigns of 1813 and 1814, and finally in 1815, tho Prussians un der Biuchor, gave the final stroko to Napo leon u{ on the field of Waterloo. Tho mer ciless pursuit of tho fugitive French by the Prussian Dragoons was urged on by tho rccolection of Bloody Jcua, and tho bumili ation of Berlin was appeased in tho capture of Paris. In tho confcrcnco at Venice, Prussia again took high rank as a leading power in the Holy Alliance, which for thirty years afteward governed Europe. Her population now bcaroly exceeds that of Spain, and is less than that of Italy, neither of whom aro counted among tbo great powers. Hut they have not her historical prestige, and her millitary organization, by which every mau is obliged to serve in tho army, and which gives her on an emergenoy, six hun dred thousand diteiplinod troops- She is as ambitious as she is warlike, and she is now playing a game in Continental Europe that is extrceuicly hazardous, and may re sult again .n her complect overthrow. Sho is forcing Aubtria, a power with twico her population, who has the sympathy of Ger many in thestrugglo, and she has for a look er-on—Franco,which is wuito willing, at tho opportune moment to Blep in and finish what may he left of the contestants, taking as a reward for so doing, a portion of Germa ny. The communication between Angusta and Charleston, S 0., is again complete, tho lay ing the track upon the South Carolina rail road having been finished with somo cere mouy, at four and a half L*.

The proscut growing crop ot blackberries will so*n be ripe and it may not be anms, says a coiresponpcnt iu the Southern Recor der, (o cull attention to I lie importance of securing from it all the hem fits which it is I capable of ulfordit g. It abounds through all our country (!hii Iron can gather the berries. And they should be gatherel in profusion. No articlo of foo lis mere healthful. And few kinds of fruit can be mado serve so many impor tant u.-cs. All the preporatiou from it run high upon tho scale of utility and comfort. Shame, then, that so valuable an article, is permitted logo to waste. Rut it is in relation to tlio importance of ihat crop as a '‘vintage” that I would, at present, chiefly speak. Iu this respect, it is of great value. Thousands of casks of wine might, every year, bo made from tho Black berry of tho Southern States, even as they now grow in their neglected stale ! What a source at onco of comfort and of profit; anil how vastly pri Lrable to the costly, aud of cu “impure wines” obtained from abroad ! The process of manufacture is tho simplest in the world. Any one can make and pre serve the wiuc. And yet, the product,’ in both quantity and quality, might be vastly increased by culture. Nor should the skillful and assid uous culture of this valuable fruit be longer neglected. Tberc arc thousands of acres of waste lands in all the States, which could bo most advantageously devoted to this kind of use. Planted iu rows, tho vino or hricr could at once receive the requisite mi trim opt,’ be pruned, kept under control, and tbp-Truit be gathered with far greater convenience. Let, then, the finest specimen* be noted this coming vintage; and next winter let the “plantings” bo made—tho “Dewberry,” so called among the robt —on such lands as are best adapted to each. The “Whitobirry,” is, also, greatly in vougc, in some parts of tho country. No pains should bo sparod in getting the best species, come whence they may. Considering the ease with which they can be cultivated, and the certainty with which they bear, no other fruit compares with them. Lot, then, tho experiment be at once, fully and fairly made. This done, no present estimate can bo mado of tbo ben - eficent results to our now devastated ooun tri r ii j. The Cfttlou Crop of 1860. The following is a private letter addressed by an experienced and intelligent cotton planter of thin State to ono of our' leading cotton factors. His estimate of tbo crop of this year, will bo seen, is 1,500, 000 bales. llis views arc not based upon mere conjec ture, but the result of a close investigation : “I)iiAK Sin : In reply to your suggestion, plcaso accept tlio following estimate. It is not oxaet to fractional exactness, but near enough for argument and reference. You will allow me to say that whih I do not re joice in the present, I am not despondent of the future. Tho estimates is this t The crop of 1860 was 4,G00,0t.'0 hales ; the number of laborers was 1,000,000 black, 250,000 white, thus making an average of 3f bales per head. “I dispose of tho black labor thus : Os tho army, dead and alive, 150,000 ; lead by destitution and disease, 250,000 ; left field work, 200,000; black laborers now at work in the cotton States, 500,000. Those, un der the old regime, by the avengo above, ought to make 1,875,000 bales. “They will not make so much for these reasons: Under the old regime they worcin the field sixty four hours per week ; under the new arrangement, forty-eight hours per week. They thus must do one fourth loss work than formerly. Dut they are not worth as much while at work as formerly by one fifth at least. Thus the possible pro duction of black laborer’. “The white labor (250,000) I dispose of thus : Killed and crippled, and in otbor em ployments, 125,000, leaving in the cotton field 125,000. These, at the above average, make 470,000 bales. Add to this the pro duct, of black labor, 1,030,000, and we have, total for 18GG, 1,500,000 bales. “If any are disposed to question the ae curacy of the hours of labor, (and I write wliat I know) I will reduce tbo slave’s hours to sixty per week, advance tho freed men’s to fifty, and that will mako the aggregate 1,G00,0U0. The rclativo value in tho field I have put too low, but \vc will let it stand. Many will say it ought to bo reduced one fourth, instead of one fifth. “An incidental and important fact should not bo omitted; the rich alluvial lands, to a largo extent, arc idle. The dependence must be on the hill lands, and the best of these wasted by the ncglcet of two or throe years. “Tako these facts for what they arc worth, and I think they arc worth as much as tho uncou.-ddorcd trifles of those who arc addio ted to looking at the world through a gimlet hole. In faet, I think they arc worth as much as Gen. Bhermnn’s dietuui, who, after visiting Little Rock, Arkansas, felt sanguine that a large cotton crop would bo made Aud Liverpool repeats tho prophcoy, and cotton falls one farthing! Dy such absurd ities, cotton is beared down to its present unworthy pr*e. “Very respectfully, yours. j. W.B” OTStTti AftY. Died in Dawson, Ga., on the 19th March, after a lingering illness, Mr, K. 3.

Wo, tho Grand Jurors, chosen and sworn, bog leave to submit tho following general presentments, viz : Articlo let. In view of all the circum stances that surrounds us as a people, social ly, politically and financially, tbo Grand Jury, after a full, fair and deliberate consid atiou of the principals and interest involved, particularly in the poor Schools appropria tion, deem it unwise and impolitic to reo m mend the raising of a fund for general edu cation. Our facilities for attaining a knowledge of the number, circumstances and conditions, of our indigent poor are very inadequate and unsatisfactory. We would therefore recommend to cur people tho exorcise of all the patience tind forbearance, under the cir cumstances, until a moro propicious day shall dawn upon our distressed and unhap py country. Article 2d. We do rccomend, however, a sufficient amount, in connection with the Verdict money now due the county, to be raised’to pay the Graud and Pettit Jurors, ouc dollar per diem, and the Sheriff bo in structed to collect the verdict money imme diately. Article 3d. The Grand Jury have taken specially under revission the ordi r and con dition of tLe' books of the inferior and Su perior Courts, aud find them neatly and cor rectly kept. Wo would compllmont the offices of said courts for neatness and good order. Also the books and papers of the ordinary are to our apprehension in proper form, good or der and correctly kept. Article 4th. We have examined tho court house and jail and find the windows, Doors, Locks and steps to the court house needing repairs, the jail, also needs some repair.— We therefore rccomend the Inferior Courts to look well to tlio order aud condition of ur public buildings require. Article 5 1 Ii As to the roads arid bridges the Grand Jury would urge upon tho att.cn - tion of the Inferior Court, that to our cor ta'u knowledge, tho roads and bri Igos gen erally aro iu tho worst condition and in ma ny insttnt© in dangerous condition. We therefore insist upon the Inferior Court having the bridges, when necessary, re built, or repaired, and as soon as p-aoticable to have the roads all wt 11 worked. Wo would also recommend the Inferior Courts to levy a sufficient Tax to cover all cxponscs iu repairing the public bridges, etc. Article G:h. JWc also recommend the Infe rior Court to have ordered as early as prac ticable, and election of superintendent of of roads bridges under the act of tho last general assembly, defining the duties of said superintendant. Article 7th. Wo also recommondjtl o Infe rior levy a sufficient tax to pay Dr. C. A. Cheatham four hundred and seventy lour dollars for services and expcnces for medicino and nurseing at small pox hospi tal from April 27 th to the 15 Nov 1805, Inclusive. Article Bth. It is further agreed by this body that the perdiein received for BerviDg as grand Jurors bo given to somo destitute families by each Grand Jurors. Article 9th We beg leave to offer to his honor, Judge John T. Clarke, the ablo offi ccr presiding, our comphmeuts, and tender to him our thanks for his kindness aud courtesy to this body during this term of our court. Wo can conciontionsly reomend him to tho county as an ab’o, patient and, cffiecit efficient, in the discharge of the ardious du ties devolving upon him. It is also fur ther agreed that the thanks of this body bo tendered T. It. Stewart our solicitor general for his courticsos to us while assembled.
