BRvvf.’ 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 1 editor, to the position of a petty spiteful scribbler. • YISDEX.

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.

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. ■ Such ex halted devotion--such im mortal endurance--such saintly char? *iry- needs no defence from a Southern pen History will portray her virr.uesin coforg more .splendid than’ those which hand. down,, through the mist of Years,, tbe majestic praise of a Cornelia, and • the patriotic, terror ol a Joan D’Arc. .

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.

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.
