I Calhoun, April Tib, 1866.
j I have spent the week here in attendance
I on tlie Superior Court. There were a num
ber of attorneys present from adjoiui >g conn
ties, but several once familiar faces were miss
ing. Crook. Fain, Shropshire and Phillips
will no more greet their brethren of the Bar,
nor address juries of the country in behalf of
the rights of their clients. Like thousands of
others, they obeyed the command of Georgia,
and fell in the army, the victims of disease.
Judge Milner, recently appointed to fill the
vacancy created by the election of Judge
tilker to the Supreme Bench, is making a
good Judge, and giving general satisfaction.
If ho would be a little more dignified, sit up
a little straighter, and compel the sheriff to
keep better order in Court, he would boa
most popular Judge. His friende fear be will
be too indulgent to noise makers and too
lenient to criminals.
I have inquired of many persons about
the wheat crop, and am glad to inform you
that, all things considered, a large breadth of
laud has been sowed, and the prospect for an
abundant harvest is flattering. lam truly
glad to know this, for the supply of bread
stuffs is very small. Any one well acquaint
ed with this section of the State, a few years
since, and ignorant of its present condition,
would b- surprised to know the quantities of
grain, flour, meal, hay and bacon brought to
the several depots of the Western & Atlantic
Railroad. And his surprise would be turned
to amazement if he were to go through the
country and witness the great destitution of
the people, especially the poorer class. And
yet they are cheerful, hard at work, and
seem to be contented. Many families who, a
few years ago, were wealthy, lived in ease
and luxury, with a large number of servants
about them, now have not a servant; the
wife and daughters do all their cooking and
housework, and find it difficult sometimes to
obtain the necessaries of life. I heard a
handsome young lady telling of her cooking;
milking and washing, and seemed to think no
more of it than she would of combing her
hair three or four years since, when she was
at college. How is it that ladies, young and
old, have so readily and cheerfully submitted
to their altered pecuniary condition, and now
contentedly and willingly perform the labor
of servants? If our Heavenly Father has
thus prepared the hearts of our women for
the change and the work, ought not men and
women, too, to be devoutly thankful?
There are hundreds of young persons, all
over the country, who are staying in cabins
and huts, and often suffering for bread, and
yet they will not take the place of servants
and work for a living. They seem to think
it would be degrading—that they would
thereby be placing themselves on an equality
with free negroes—be taking the places of
slaves. What a blessing it would be to many
‘ boys and girls, who are now in destitution
and idleness, if their parents would hire them
to those who need and would pay them for
their services; They might by this means be
made useful laborers and house servants; be
saved front vice, crime and ruin, and ulti
mately become thrifty and useful members of
society. I trust that when we have good
Irish, German and Welch servants among us.
our people will be profited by their example.
fathers and mothers who are unable to
leed, clothe and educate their children, will
no longer hesitate to put them out to work
for wages. Idleness, want and crime will
then, to a largo extent, be driven from the
country. O.

> On Friday las!, Brig. Gen. El W. Rucker
was arraigned before the U. S. District and
Circuit Courts at Nashville for treason. Judge
C. F. Trigg, rendered the following,decision on
a motion tor discharge, based upon a milita
ry parole. The decision is a very important
one, and will be read with general interest:
“The defendant being under arrest upon a
capias issued from the United States Circuit
Court, by bis attorney, moved the Court to be
discharged therefrom, upon the ground that he
was one of those embraced in the terms ot the
surrender and agreement of capitulation be
tween Generals Sherman and Johnston, by
wtucn it was stipulated that, upon the condi
tion of bis not again taking up arms against
the Government of tbe Uuiied States, and obey
ing the .aws ot the State where he resided, he
should not be molested by the authorities ot
the United Stales.
The motion was discussed at considerable
length by the counsel of the defendant, and
Several authorities relied on to sustain it. Toe
Court said : “This question is not a new one to
the Court. So tar as the convention or agree
meat entered into between Generals Grant and
Lee, in command ol the respective belligerent
forces, was concerned, and the counterpart of
the same which was made by and between
Generals Gherman and Johnston upon the sur
render ot the army of the latter to General
Sherman, the power of these Genetals to make
such an agreement could not be questioned,
nnu the terms of Capitulatiou provi'ted therein
won 1 be equally binding upon both parties
t i Ute same. And, the good faith and honoi
of the United Stah-H being pledged to its Itil
fidrnent, tt would not only be the pleasure, but.
V e duty of this court to carry out, as tar as
lies in Us power, the terms ol that agreement as
they were understood and accepted al the time
of the surrender. But this, like any other con
tract, which a court tn gilt, bee died upon to
interpret, must, be subjected to u rigid scruti
nv, and try a consideration of the subject as
well as the teims ol the contract, to ascertaian
what was the in'ention ol the parties contract
ing. In considering this contract and the
terms of capitulation mule by it, we must
look at all the circumstances surrounding it,
tie particular points or stipulations embraced
in it, and the objects and purposes lor which it
was entered into
It is unnecessary for the court to recapitu
late the unhappy condition of the country, or
, tbe position of the respective parties at. tbe
i time whi n these conventions or agreements
were made. They are well known to all and
form a part of tbe history of the country.—
The power of the government was being ex
| erted for tbe purpose of suppressing a most
formidable resistance to tbe autbority and
laws of the United Stales The country was
engaged in a gigantic civil war, and it was
while it. was in fids condition that’ibese con
ventionsoragrt emonts were made between the
commanders respectively of llio armies of the
government and the hostile forces. The genes
ral officers in command of the forces of the
government had the power to tn«k<r such
’ terms with the enemy ns would the most
epeedi'y determine and end tbe conflict. This
power, it may bo asaumud, they exercised
with the approval of the President, who wns
their mibtnry superior, and was purely a mil
itary power which the laws of war sanction
ed, and as such could have no wider scope or
extendi d eflects than it was the province of a
military commander to grant. It was the ex
ercise of a billigerent right, sanctioned by
the laws of war, and not that sovereignty as
contradistinguished from belligerent. The
sovereignty government did not reside
in the President as the military chief of the
nation, and he could not delegate to bis sub
ordinate officers io the field any right ot sov
ereignty wli'h did not properly psrtai i “to
him in his military character under the Con
stitution and laws of the United States.
Tne terms of the capita a ion were substan
tiaUy that the insurgents should lay down
their arms, repair to lh< ir respective homes,
and that they should not. bo molested by the
authorities of the United States so long as
they refrained from again taking up arms
against the Government, and obeyed the lews
of their respective States. This wns the eons
vention or agreement between the parties.—
Now, wbat was the purpose and object of
sneff r agreement, and the terms of the cas
pituiatibu embraced by it? Was it not to
bring about a cessation of hostilities between
the parties to the contract, and eventually to
terminate tbe war? It was perfectly legiti
mate for the officer in command of the forces
of the Government, by virtue of the military
power with which he was invested, to promote
and accept terms of surrender, but be c> u'd
Only propose or accept such terms as came
within the scope of bin military authority
He ba« no authority to exetcise the sovereign
right of pardoning the crime which was per
petrated by those in rebellion against the
Government ; and not having such authority
it connot be presumed that such was the in
tention and understanding of the terms of
the agreement.
The President alone, under the Constitution
has the power of pardon, and this power he
does not possess as commander-in-chief of
the army hnd navy of the United States, but
in his character of civil magistrate. And as
such commander-in-chief he could not dele
gate tbe power of pardon to any’ officer under
him But if the effect is to be given to the
terms of the surrender whi ;h is contended for
on behalf of the defendant in this prosecu
tion, the:, the capitulation and surrender op»
erated as a pardon and general amnesty to
all who had been engaged in the rebellion
and were embraced in tbe agreement to ca
pitulate.
It could not have been intended by the offis
ccrs who made this agreement that it should
have any effect as is claimed for it, for we
cannot suppose that they intended to do that
which they had no power or aurhority to do,
and which could only be done by the Presi
dent in the exercise of a sovereign right con
ferred upon him by the Constitution in his
character of civil magistrate.
We must regard this agreement, then as it
seems to the court, in no other light than
as a military parole upon tbe terms stipula-.
ted, and which the parties contemplated
should terminate with the war if its terms
remained unbroken, by the parties accepting
it, until that time. That this is the true ini
terpreta ion of the contract, and that it was
so understood by the capitulation, would
seem to be manifest from what is daily occur
ring in relation to it.
How many of those who laid down their
arms under the terms of surrender, are daily
applying to the President for special pardons,
and taking the amnesty oath, when not with
in the exceptions provided in tbe proclama
tion of the 20th of May, 1865? These appli
cants must have understood that tho condi
tions of their surrender had no other or
greateFeffect than we have herein given to
them. For, if they bad thought differently,
they could scarcely have deemed it essential,
and have been so eager to obtain tbe addi
tional pardon of the President. With this
understanding of the terms of surrender, if
the defendant had been arrested under the
process of this court, during the existence of
the war, this court would certainly not have
permitted him to be imprisoned, and would
have seen that all the conditions of surrender
were carried out in their true spirit. But the
war is now happily at an end; we have re
turned to a state of peace, and tbe power and
authority of the civil courts are restored, and
this defendent, like all other citizens, must
be held accountable for any offense which he
may have committed against the law’s of the
United States. Tbejarbitrary power of the mili
tary has, by a timely proclamation of tbe
President, been removed, and the civil rights
and remedies of tbe people, through the reg
ular and ordinary tribunals of justice, ap
pointed by the Constitution and laws, are re
stored.
With the views herein presented, this court
cannot entertain<he motion of the defendant
to be discharged from arrest, but must over
rule the same, and the defendant will be ad
mitted to bail for his appearance to answer at
the next term of this court.”
Raising Cotton.— Oue of the most success
11*1 planters in the bill couotry in Mississippi,
iu a communication to the New Orleans Times,
sajs he has carefully calculated the profits on
cotton raising under the present state of things.
Allowing cotton to be worth 40 cents per lb.
and raising 4 bales, or 1,600 lbs. to the hand,
he finds that working 10 hands would leave a
probable loss of $220, The following is his
estimate:
Ten bands m-king 1,609 pounds
each - 16,000 pounds at 40e. $6,400 00
Less charges tor selling, say—
Freight per railroad, $5 per
bale on forty baless2oo 00
Internal Revenue, 2c per lb. . 320 00
Insurance $2 50 per bale. 100 00
State Taxes tn Miss, and L i.. 100 00
U S Taxes and brokerage, 1-2
per cent 30 00
Weighing, storage and other
charges 40 00
Commission lor selling 100 00
B.igging and Rope 130 00-1,080,00
Net proceeds of cr0p55,320.00
To procure this crop be found bis expenses
wouldlbe as follows:
Wages of ten hands at sl2 per month $1,440 00
Rations for same as ordered by Bu-
r. au 800 00
Clothes for same as orderea by Bu-
reau 500 00
Corn etc., to teed the stock 900 00
Blacksmith’s bill 100 00
Taxes oa land 200 00
Teams and wagons; worth $2,000, J
off 500 00
Support ot his family 1,000 00
Total expense of working the place. .$5 400 00
Probable loss upon'the adventure.. £2O 00
It would be advisable lor those now rushing
into collon planting to “sit down and count
the cest.” before becoming too invol
v'd. We should like tor some ol our ex
perienced planters to examine this estimate
and see how tar it will apply to Georgia, and
we will take pleasure in publishing the result
of their investigation.
