We do not see that any of our exchanges
surpass jt j n typographical execution, and

■ further improvement. We have ordered
the late-t improvements in type, and mean
to place the Enterprise office in a condition
to display advertisements and print jobs

printer for the work and we mean to pro- .
vide him with the material. As an adver

this section, because best known and pat-’

All our exchanges are patting Juba, and
lejaieing over the President’s veto of rhe
Freedman's bureau Bill. The Senate fail
ed to a-’ the bill over the veto, and it is
t therefore a dead cock in the pit. The
President has made one successful and
1 telling blow at the Radical disnni-mists,.
and by that blow he has gained the whole
South and the conservative portion of the
North. Henceforth the President and-the
people will be arrayed against Congress.

The Quittman Jlanr.fr of last wee oon.-
) tains a blazing article, in which the Editor ‘
’ ‘corns to be imprc-<oj with the conviction j
that somebody has crod upon hi--toes, and 1
he is determined to let every body know,
that he is not *firetid Ctt anykodif. Sec what
lie say-. He leads hi*.article.wi.tii a quo- ‘
toti.on Irom the M'-rrop.disun Record’, ere- :
sting the impression that i: was an asser- ■
non made by the writer of that letter : and •’
to fix this impression he say-. “ Asa mem- 1
ber <> t the Southern jn-MW we enter ft -
.test Sgnifiet the toregoing declaration." —.
; - ■ t i ■ aratfon ” reads t has,
‘•The Southern papers. dare not descant
upon our wrongs. ‘ The id
as follows, “ We .agree with you, that since
the Southern papers dare not descant upon
our wrongs, ttie Northern journals, that
are not under the military late, ought to
proclaim them- the- more loudly, etc.”
whence it is plain that the clause the Ban
ter quotes, is not an assertion, n V a “ de
claration.’ but simply an acquiescence in
something the Record ha- said before. But
suppose that clause was a whole sent , nee,
and had heen an original M Hion on'tile i
part of the Record’s correspondent: is it
not true? Mr. Fildes virtually admits
, that it is. af'er all the effervescence of his
courageous heart.: for be says further on
in the same article. “of course i: is the
interest of the Press of the South to advo
cate ‘peace, good order and national unity.’
It is this the good of society demands, and
the government expects It dare not, and
civil war. revolution,
or it -urrectiou. On the contrary, it is ex
tremely anxious for good order, permanent
ind a reconstruction of the Ameri
-1 •’* l men,—not a mere union in name, but
in fact, interest and relations.” . Dr.re
Sciuheru editors say anything that will
militate again-, “ peace, good order and
national unity”? Pare they say any
tnir.geontrary to what “the good of society
demands and the government expects
lie admits that the press “ dare not create
civil war. revolution or insurrection,” be
cause it desires “a reconstruction of the
American Union.”. Tbr- admission proves
the pro- that the Southern press |
- dar.- not de- ■ mt upon our wrongs ‘ ; for
‘ suppose eTerv S- uthern paper should spe
cify, turn expatiate upon the wrongs we
be.ieve we suffer at the hands of our op
pressors, would not that be a sufficient
excuse in Radical eves for a general np
: pression of the pres. on what they would
call insurrectionary grounds? Would not’
> that fact afford many years capital for that ;
ftnatical party? Would this result be l
what “the good of society demands ”?
Would it not tend to “create civil war, j
revolution and insurrection ” ? And would j
it not prevent even “a union m name,” 1
much more a ration “in tact, interest and
relations “ ? Sensible men will see that |
the legitimate ac-wers to these question
demonstrate bevofed the shadow of a doubt,
that “ the Southern papers dare not descant
upon our wings. And in this connection
it will be weil to remember, that some pa
pers have already h - pressed, and
manv more threatened with suppression?
for much less cause than “descanting upon
our wrongs ‘ : and this too, not by the
“fanatical Cougress,” Mr. Elides speaks
of, but by Oeu. Grant, who it js well known
is not a radical.
But Mr. Fildes is not content with one
inconsistency, for in an article immedi
ately preceding his braggadocio editorial,
which is based upon the hypothesis that
the civil law is in full force), he says that
it is Ids “ ©pinion that the holding of civil
Courts tinder present circum-tanves is a
farce” Why? Because “there is ‘a
power behind the throne,’ ready to annul
aav decision it may see proper.” I: that
power can presume to “annul any decision
f the Court-’ it may think proper.” will it
not certainly overthrow any newspaper that
publishes articles obnoxious to it- inter
ests ? Would an overthrow of the people’s
organ be what *• the good of society de
mands Certainly not; and would not
such an overthrow excite insurrectionary
feelings ? Os eours ‘ it wottld, and we
remember that Mr. Fildes admits that the
press “ dor: Bot ” bring about this result.
Yes, and when the press lays itself liable
to suppression by .the publication of reck
less arttelafe, winch .acewsarfly, from the
mature-ot’ affairs, do ■test good, if not more
tram to s<*ei--:y -than those of more moder
ate tone, it violates the high trust reposed
in it bj’ the people It is true the Consti
tut 1 autieß to citizen- “ freedom of
speech and of• she pres?.,” Imi! although I
may have the right to carry a lighted torch
about with me. I have no right, to throw it
into a powder magazine, in the midst of a
populous city.
The Cefiatitatioa give- as the right of a
free press, etc., only when the civil law
prevails, but listen to Mr. F and see what
he means by “present circumstances.”—
He says “the military is now the supreme
power, and any attempt to enforce civil
| pro ess is only permitted as a privilege—
! to claim it as a right will not be tolerated.”.
And yet. in the face of this, he “claims as
a right” what is only guarantied by the
i civil law, and quotes th - Constitution to
sustain him. entirely oblivious of the fact
that be has just said “the military is now
the supreme power,” and again, “military
and civil law cannot both prevail at the
| same time, one must give way before the
1 other.” Which is most likely 7 to give way..
I “ under present circumstances,” the civil
1 power, or tlie “ power behind the throne ?”
; “ Oh’ consistency thou art a jewel!”
I have seen Mr Fildes. and I am well
! acquainted with tlie author of that obnori
-1 otis letter, and if 1 may judge “by the per
sonal appearance of the two, as well as
their respective histories for the last five
years, 1 would dare say that my friend. the
Record’s correspondent, is as little likely
to be frightened by “bolts and chains, and
bars and dungeons,” as the brave editor of
tlie (Juittman Banner, and his insinuation
of “craven,” will go for wiiat it is worth
among persons who know tooth parties.
1 have heard that Mr. Fildes is by birth
a Northern man, and if this be true, it may
be that he resorts to the imprudent means
he employs, to convince us that he is true
so us, hut this is not necessary—a man
need not pull off his coat and bully every
person who looks hard at me, to convince
me that he is my friend, especially after
the day of “stripping and fighting” is
past. I think Mr. F. is a true man. but 1
wtiuld remind him that “ fire eating ’’ won’t
do now. and when he indulges in editorials
that tend to irritate “ the powers that be,”
and increase the weight of the burden im
posed upon us, he is remiss in his duty as
an editor—who ought to be the guardian of
the people’s good. And when he brands
. as “craven” one who has iri/ncssrd scenes
of Wood tliat he ha- only heard of* one who
npQecd himself toffee risk of “bolts
aid chains, and bar? and dungeons.” while
.1 a. was -'ning in his editorial chair, a fire
side general, SHrrwunded hy ifee comforts
! f home, in no danger of “ bolls and bars,”
[ fie lowers him-elf from the dignity #f an

• Applause. The question has shilled
from the camp into the forum; it lias

and the great momentous discrimina

difficulty is when they arc mixed The

i looking to a party which said: “We

and to justice; but, Mr Johnson, don’t

sedend trial. Docs the Preafuent dare
to bring to bear upon Congress the
patronage of th-e- Government? If he
does so, we shall see whether IS6G is
to do what no. year in the history
of this country has ever done. Show
us a Congres- could stand erect against
o President of its own party. A Whig
Congress did once stand firm against a
I'emocratic President, but never in the

The city xmo is better
supplied with .water than any city jn
• the world. . There is* two immense
aqueducts— one seven miles leng, and
the other three —which bring the wa
ter from the mountains to the very
heart of the city; thence by arteries
it is distributed in every direction.
There are also numerons. Artesian wells
; in the city and its suburbs. By boring
a depth of eighty feet the water rises
several feet above the surface of the
earth, and flows in a very bold stream.
In many instances this water is not at
all brackish, but is as fresh and sweet
as that brought from the mountains. !
Tribute lo the tSnllnulry *f • ('•
iVdrrab'i.
General Hooker, in his testimony ‘
before the Coni ini ttee of Congress on
the coo duct of the War, pays the fbi
lowing tribute to the gallantry of the
Confederate trooris.
Our artillery had always been supe
rior to that of the Confederates, as was :
also our infantry, except in discipline, !
and that, for reasons not necessary to
mention, never did equal Lee’s army.
With a rank and a file vastly inferior
to our own. intellectually and phisical-.
Iv, fieri oral Lee’s army lias, by discip
line alone, acquired a character for
stcaWnws and efficiency unsurpassed,
in my judgment, in ancient or modern
times. Wo have, never been able to
rival it.
General Meade speaks of the brave
and gallant advance of- the Confeder
ates at Gettysburg, Hancock talks oi
their, wonderful s; irit nothing com id
have been more spirited —and Gener
al Pleasanton, describing lu disgrace
ful running away of the Eleventh Ar
my corps at Cha celiorsviile, accounts
for it by the combined effect upon trie
imagination of the sound of musketry,
the yells of the Conlederatcs and their
increasing artillery fire. It was a the?
atiical effect Stonewall Jackson could
produce better than any other man 1
have ever seen on the field of battle.
You could tell one of bis attacks any
when — and the turn of the battle was
Stonewall .liu-Aon s death.
Strong Chnrarlrrt..
Strength oi otlflMCter eoij.-isfs ol two
things—power of will and power of
self-restraint. It requires twe things,
there'ore. to- its existence strong feel
ings and strong command over them.
11
[ Now it is here we make a great mis
take; we mistake strong feelings for
strong character. A man who hears
all before him, before whose fr ‘wn do
itu sties tri mble, and whoso hoists of
fury make the children o. the house
hold quake —because in . all things,
we call him a str ng man. The tru li
| is, that is the weak man, it is his pas
; sinus that.are strong; he, mastered by
! them, is weak. You - must measure
the strength of a man by the power of
the feelings he subdues, not. by the
power of those wh cii subdue him.
And hence composure is very often
the higbtest result of strength. Did
we never see a man receive a flagrant
insult, and only grow a l'tfle pale, and
then reply quietly? That is a man
spiritually strong Or did wc* never
see a man in anguish stand, as >f carv
ed out of solid rock, mastering himself?
(Jr one bearing a hopeless daily trial
1 remain silent, ancl never tell the world
: what cankered hishome peace? That
is strength. He who, with strong pas
sions, remains chaste; he who. keenly
! sensitive, with many powers of indig--
nati’ n in him, cun be provoked, and
yet restrain himself, and forgive
i these tire the strong men, the spiritual
..evoes.—h! ev F. M . Robertson.
The IVonn'M f She Nonib.
The Montgomery Mail, in reply to
the, constant sneers and aspersions of
a party at the North, who, cowardly as
Falsuff during the war, are brave as
the hero it) the ‘piping times of peace,’
pays the following just and eh wing |
tribute to the women of the South, ev
ery word of which we eordiaJy en- !
dorse:
Gaily would they assume the garb of
mourning for a father a brother or a 1
lover ; daily did.the’ shat', (4 deatli en
ter the household and make manly
hearts quail be for the .horrors of war,
bm never for one moment did toe wo
men o’ the South,-from the highest, to
the lowest, fail to sup; or: the SoMler,
and hold them up until the sinking ol i
the sun. God bless them for what
they did in .the hour of darkness and :
sorrow 1 God bless them for what i
: they are doing now ! From one enu
| of the South to the other, the women
have joined in the nobl st petitions for
tlie pafHon of Mr. Davis ; and nightly, j
besides ten thousand beds, in the silent
chambers, kneel ten thousand sainted
tonus, to off r prayers for those wo love.

Defendants, ,J. B oonj & Cos., on be
ing sued by plaintiff I. Strauss, for the
I auiount of a draft left with them for
collection, answered that the amount
of said Graft was collected in Confed
erate currency, which defendants say
they are willing to pay, and ask. tler
fore that the suit, be dismissed. 1 n
sucing for the amount collected, and
not for the draft or its value, the ae.
fendanfs conlcnded, in the Supreme
Court, that the plaintiff had thereby
ratified his acts in receiving Confeder
ate currency, and are bound the why.
The evidence showed that notes depos
ited in bank for collection prior to
the date of suspension o! specie pay-*
ments .on the 21st September, 1861,
were not collected in Confederate cur
rency unless under special instructions.
The draft sued on was deposited before
th:tt date. Now the defendants did
not show themselves to bo authorized
to give such instructions by their ab
sent principal. They failed to show
that, they made a special deposit of the
funds received in payment, of the draft,
but. it appears that said funds were
mingled with tlie-ir own—-in Confeder
ate currency. By using the amount of
the they became the debtors to
plaintiff, and must pay in currency,
unles- they show that plaintiff ratified,
their act. What they received and;
use f was money —Confederate notes
are not money, they must, satisfy the
plaintiff’s claim in rnoiiey. Judgment
affirmed. —A. 0 , Tim> s, Jan. 31.

bir. ‘J rimnul, entomologist of New
Jer.-ey, was recently in New York ci
ty. and gave, on being introduced to
the club, the results of his experience l
j for- the last twenty years in dealing
with the insect enemies of fruit and
I fruit tre*s, together .with a description
| of the appearance and manner of work
ing of the several species, as follows;
1‘ irst r the Tent 4’aterpiiU-r—ls found
iin -every State in the Union. It eats
off the leaves, and thus, goto speak,
1 destroys the lungs of the tree. The
hc-t and only sure mode of destruction
is to search the trees in the spring,
and crush nests before the caterpiUer
escape. He had tried smoking and
various artificial modes recommended,
1 but iound them failures. Among
birds, the ye low-winged cuckoo is most
voracious of these insects. The moth
come- to matury early in June —may
bed iscovered on the tree during whi
ter. and cut off.
The Apple Tree Borer—ls an ene
my especially to the quince, peach and
apple tree. It continues to work three
years, by which time it generally per v ’
forates the tree. It can easily be de
tected in the summer from the notice’
able fact that tan color and fine chips
exude from the rnouth of the hcJe
where it is working. Its operations are
confined mainly to the trunk near the
fork f the principal branches. The
surest and aiesi praetie&t way to de
• strny the borer is to drive a long wire
needle, into the hole till the cud of it
is reaebed,, when the grub will of eourse
be found.
Peach Worm.—The peach worm is
found mainly tn latitudes south of New
York State.
j. loh , i Ir ii Chrrk Rein .
I lie New England Farmer, speaking
on the subject, says : •
Any person whoseattention has been
called to the subject, and who still
persists in the use of a light check
.rein, ought to 1 have his own head pla~
ced in’ a similar position to that to
which he has cruelly subjected the
iioi-se. If I were the Grand Sultan,
every man who torments his horse
with a check rein, should hold his arms
at right angles with his body, for an
hour at a time, once in twenty-four
hours, as long as he contiuned the
check rein. The practice of drawing
in the heads of team horses, by means
I of this pernicious strap, is especially
cruel. The horse, in endeavoring to
expend his strength* needs the free,
natural use of his head and neck.
The cramping position now enforced
is alike severe and injurious to horses,
and in any business, and should be eaa
ed off till nature is at free play.
