Mariuage Laws.—T*he Commissioner of the
Freedmen’s Bureau has issued a.circular direct
ing each State Commissioner to consult the
State laWs with regard to the marriage and di
vorce of white persons, and employ them lor
the benefit of the freedmen. He says : “.'lt' is
desirable tb frame: such a system of marriage*
rules as would be approved by the State au
thorities,” and suggests that they obtain
formal approval of the several Governors to the
circulars. I
4. O ,
Among the points that require immediate 'at
tention are as follows: Parties eligible for mar
riage ; who shall grant marriage certificates ;
parties authorized to solemnise marriage ; dis
solving marriages ; the registry of HiarriAffes,
and regulations with reference to persons who
have lived together without marriage.
The Commissioners are further
that the greatest care must be taken to instruct
all freed people as to what the law demands of.
them in regard to marriage, and all clergymen
and magistrates authorized to give certificates
or solemnize marriages, must be earnestly so
licited to aid the Bureau officers in rectifying .
the existing evils on this subject.
' Direct Tax on Real Estate.—lt is impor
tant, says the Richmond Times, that the owners
of real estate should look to the payment- of the
United States direct tax thereon before the Bth
of April next, or subject themselves to the for
feiture of their property. The law provides
that this tax shall be paid within sixty days
after the opening of the offices of collection in
any city or county.
The tax is twenty-seven cents on one hundred
dollars’ value, at the assessment of 18(i0, which,
if not paid promptly, is liable to an additional
tax of ten per cent.
If not. paid at the end of sixty days, the pro
perty, according to the act of Congress passed
in 1862, is forfeited, and will be seized and sold
by the Government. It would be wise, there
. lore, for orygaud all to attend to this tax.
The S<v,"shekn Express 'Company.— I The
Memphis Daily Commercial of thc( 15th instant
thus speaKVof this important institution and
some of its promiuent officials:
This company, to whom we are indebted for
frequent news favors, we are happy to know
uni doing a larger business at this point than
ever before. They offer superior facilities to
shippers, and have made arrangements with
Adams’ Express Company, by which all- pack
ages or goods forwarded on the routes of the
latter and intended for the Southern Express
routes iu the interior of this State, and to other
Southern States, willabe forwarded with the
least delay. The heawjunrters of the Eastern
Division and of the company are still located in
Augusta, Ga., where Mr. Plant, the President,
resides, and Memphis has recently been selected
as tlie headquarters of the*'Western Division,
Dnder the superintendency of Mr. James
Shuter, til- well-known and popular express
man, who, during a brief absence nt the North
is now represented by Mr. M. J. O’Brien, Se
cretary of the company, and formerly Cashier
of the Memphis office. We adopt the language
of a contemporary, who says: “Mr. Plant was
the first President of the company, and retained
the office during the war, giving the highest
satisfaction in the performance of his duties,
jiud the officers are gentlemen of long experience
in the Express line, whoso intimate acquaint
ance with Southern business particularly, ren
ders their services invaluable to parties desirous
of forwarding goods with the quickest possible
dispatch.”

Boii.et> Wheat.—lt is strange that intelli
‘ gent, men and women pay so little attention to
healthy diet. Fashion dictates, and deluded,
weak minded persons would rather be out of
the world than out of fashion. I suppose
everybody knows it is uoL fashionable to use
boiled wheat, for I venture to say that one
fourth of the civilized world has never seen this
article used on the table. Life is wasted away
with fine bread, toasts and puddings, and, fltiai
ly, when it is too late, hypophosphite is recoin- < I
mended to restore health and strength. All
this trouble would lie unnecessary if we would
use plenty of boiled wheat.
Some persons bear acquaintance, and after
. you once know them fully you always love
them ; so it is with boiled wheat, after you once
learn to eat it, you always like it. My hus
band’s eyes always twinkle and look bright
jvhen he sees the above named article on the
.tilde, and lie says, when through eating : “ Ma
rie, what a good healthy meal this was"; have
it oftener, dear, and plenty of it.”
Perhaps not every farmer’s wife knows how
to prepare this healthy dish. The wheat should
be cracked iu a mill. Take one quart and put
into half a pot of warm water, and let it stand
upon the stove several hours ; then boil it slow
ly, and stir it occasionally, till it becomes thick;
put iu a handful of-salt. For children it can
lie used with milk. If left standing till cool, it
is very nice to cut iu slices, and use with cream
and sugar, or fry it like mush ; the hist men
tioned I prefer for general use, but it can be
prepared in various ways.
Almost every mother knows liow small chil
dren sutler with summer complaint; I learned
my babe to eat boiled wheat when only a year
old, and I thought it almost a cure for this dis
ease, and it always makes her good-natured.—
So much do I notice the good effect, that I pre
fer giving her boiled wheat instead of severer
treatment, to make her a good little girl. 1 used
to be very nervous—my physician said my main
diet must be boiled wheat; ami I have become
entirely rid of that weakness. I consider it
equal (a taste to boiled rice and a healthier diet;
and, by experience, I know its constant use
would save many big doctor’s bills.

Vera Cruz, March 2.—We have accounts of
the occupation of Alamos, in Sonora, by the
Liberal forces of Martinez and Correa, com
posed of 1,300 men, dragged from the high
ways and robber dens of tlie Sierras. The
town was lipfl with four houses intact, and the
excesses committed upon women and children 1
who had not „begif. able to escape from the scene
cau he easier imagined than - described. All the
cattlfe upon the farms in the vicinity were de
stroyed, the farm houses burned, and the fe
males violated—after ass the valuables which
could be removed liad been taken into their
possession. The murderers and robbers were
preparing to leave—as they had Dot provided
themselves with subsistence but for a limited
period, and in their lust for evil they de
stroyed the resources of the country fortheir
permanent residence, in the wanton destruction
of the stock. Many of the citizens of Alamos
and families of the farmers had the good for
tune to escape to Guayamas.
We learn from Tula that in the battle of Tau
toyaquita, besides Mesnd&z, live other officers
of the enemy were :killed, and tl\at the
rillas had left the field in order to divine jlie
fruits of their expedition amoug their families,
having entirely desolated the country from
Cliatnal to Tautoyaquita, destroying many vil
lages. All the prisoners made from the small
detachments of French troops encountered on
their march were killed. A fearful response
will follow when they can be met in On
the field of battle. Fragoso, guerrilla-'chief,
has been banished, and he left via Havana, on
the Ist of the last month for his destination.—
Several others wjll go home by the liexifßrericli
steamer for Nazair.k
Haxeala was occupied by the enemy for three
or lour days, it lien they displaced by a
small body of Austrian troops detached from
Puebla. The place, when attacked by the dis
sidents, was guarded by a militia force of
fifty men. General Ormicchea was put in pris
on and ids house destroyed f a conductor with
SB,OOO railroad funds was captured. Before the
Austrian force of five hundred men reached
the plage, the bandits had fled, carrying with them
the general for the purpose of “banking” oiF
him should’ they be able to avoid pursuit. The
Austrian troops are ip pursuit, and there seems
to he ffotfbt of the result, that the party will be
taken with their booty and prisoners. A guer
rilla band was surprised at Tuxpan on the
morning of the lltli February, by a force of
twenty men, who captured the whole party,
with nil their munition. On the evening of tlie
same day, the twenty men were surprised by a
force from Zitocnnro, of three to four hundred
men. and were driven off their ground ; their
captain and four men killed.
Ft om Tampico we learn that six deserters
from the troops of the Empire wet*e shot in that
city—four Belgians, one French,'and one Mexi
can.
The authorities of Onjaca, were kidnapped
January 24, and released two days subsequently
at the village of San Pedro Mistcpeji, by the lo
cal guards, from the people of the town. From
Guanajuato We have official report of a battle at
Patzcuaro, where 400 prisoners were made after
a previous battle of three hours, when the ene
my were driven from their positions and dis
persed with heavy loss of material. Mr. Laug
lais, the French savant, who came here to regu
late ou~ financial condition, died suddenly in
the city of Mexico on the evening of the 23d.
ITis death is universally regretted, leaving us at
a most important time, just as we began to real

| From the Courier des Etats Vnis.lJJ j
King Cotton and God Dollar.
Tiie war has dethroned King Cotton, but be
fore the war liis Majesty was already the object
of a thousand attacks and of a thousand invec
tives. What angry passions had not that ty
rant aroused —that autocrat who held men in
slavery, and deprived them forever of the hope
of escaping from the degradation ? v
Who has forgotten the pamphlet of M.
Eugene Pelletau, in which was lashed, with a
pen dipped in gall, that monarch who provoked
a civil war, and who reigned only by the aid of
the whip and the sword.' To-day King Cotton
is dead ; dead beyond all hope of resurrection—
not only have war and its consequences killed
him, hut the result has shown that his power
rested rather upon a preconceived idea that
upon a sound basis ; that Europe, whojvas be
lieved to be tributary to him, could do without
him, and that his despotism was but an illu
sion.
But there exists at the North a Divinity be
fore whom all the world bows down willy nilly,
and whose absolute power weighs upon certain
classes of the population with a different op
pression from that with which King Cotton has
ever leaned upon his humblest subjects.
This Divinity, to whom so many pay court,
and who takes so few into favor, is the God
Dollar; t o him every sacrifice is made of feel
ings, scruples and honesty; he sweeps away the
best instincts of man; he smothers in him* the
love of duty ; he effaces from his heart the last
traces of obligation aud of humanity. The min
i isters to the God Dollar take away from man
even to the very means of earning a livelihood,
| and leave him equally hopeless of escape from
| liis nothingness.
Doubtless the auri sacra fames has existed in
all countries and at all periods, and it is not the
legitimate desire of acquiring and possessing
that we now find, fault with. But that which
demands condemnation is the insatiable, avidity
of large capital accumulated in some favorite
or little scrupulous hands, whose avidity comes
at last to ignore the rights of the weak, and to
gratify itself at the expense of the comfort and
regardless of the most reasonable wants of the
less fortunate classes f it is, in fine, to revive an
expression which has had its day of popularity,
and which has been much misused. The shame
less (exploitation de FAomtne par I'homme free
ly, but in this country, and at this time, appro
priately translated by) running of the machine
man, by man.
King Cotton said to his slave: work and I
will feed .you—you will enjoy a certain amount
of comfort. I will take care of yon when you
arc sick ; I will bring up your family; if you
perform what I consider to be your duty to
ward me I will fulfill mine toward you. God
Dollar says to his tributary, you are free to
work or not to work; I have no right over you,
neither acknowledge I any duty towards you
and yours; by the overpowering influence of my
capital I am enabled to acquire and to mono
polize, and I shall raise to such a price every
thing necessary to your subsistence that your
family may bid adieu to comfort, and may be
happy even to vegetate, under my feliadow. If
you attempt to raise yourself I will crush your
•feeble rivalry, fori can afford to wait and you
canuot; you are free before the law, but you are
all my serf, my liege man, iu spite of your vain
protests; necessity, suprema lex, will bring you
ever bask to me—you must pass under my
canarne forks, and provided I fatten myself
what matter to me your leanness aud your
miserable existence.
Ot these two forms of speech, which is the
more humane-thit of King Cotton or that of
God Pollai . Ot tlie two slaves, which the
more miserable ? The King degrades man, but
provides tor his primary wants—the Goff ac
cords to him no more dignified position, and
declines to assure even his physical existence.
bar be irom us the thought of indulging iu
empty declamation against wealth and capital
Wealth is in itself a legitimate thing, and with
out accumulated capital there would not arise
those great works and enterprises which are
essential to tlie very existence of modern forim
of society. But that which arouses our indig
nation is not the employment, but the abuse of
capital, which will stop, Heaven knows where,
il prompt and energetic remedy be not applied
That which we condemn is monopoly by capi-’
tal as much as monopoly by privilege. The
latter is even, of tlie two, the more supportable
Privilege presupposes some control over th§
legislator or the power which causes the rights
of the public to be always more or less-re
spected. Monopoly by capital knows no limit
or restraint.
We look with especial terror upon the bane
ful effects of the prerogatives and omnipotence
of the God Dollar upon public morality—for
every sentiment and every desire is swallowed'
up in this one thought : “Succeed by what
l «ver means in becoming one-of the favorites of
. the 'Divinity in fashion —for to escape being de
voured 1 must devour—to escape being used as
a tool I must be master.”
[ * * k* *
• short, one must kneel down at any cost
before the God Dollar, and in consequence con-'
sciences as well as muscles and intelligence soon
come to be for sale; moral sensibility becomes
stupefied, probity dies—one dashes intoawliirl
, of speculation where chance wins the por
tion that Js snatched from honesty, and where
are exhibited such spectacles as that given by
young Ketchmn. He was a slave to the God
Dollar, less responsible- lor the erhne than the
society in the midst of which he lived and of
whieli he was following flic -current. Below
daring spirits who have ehalenged their
God and have endeavored to carry by storm the
heights of-His paradise—rash mortals of whom
success- or failure will alone decide whether
they are to.exist as heroes or as dependents—
surges Or rather drawls tlie multitude of the
timid or of the unscrupulous who are forever
condemned to l»e made use of.
i 'The worship at any cost of the God Dollar in
so deeply rooted in the customs of society, that,
a forger, like young Ketchum, for instance,
■ arouses feelings more of pity than of reproba
tion. One-even goes so far as to admire the
vastness of his 'conceptions ; one falls not fin
short Os qualifying his daring as somethin-'
chivalric, and little does he lack of having those
who are envious of his fate. Hgs he not more
and better than others, paid bis devotions to
the Divinity, who reckons as many altars as it
has destroyed consciences ? •
What remedy, then, can. be found for such a
condition of morals, and whence will arise a
salutary reaction ? We cannot see. King Cot
ton formerly applied to the negro—the voeei,
tis; God Dollar uses it now against his victims
and against his slaves.
To the complaints of the last he replies that
his favorites owe everything to themselves and
nothing to birth or favor,Which is essentially
democratic, and that the lists are open. True,
against monopolists and engrossing capitalist
there exists the resource of associations, but the
powerful associations will always devour the
lesser ones; and they have no more heart or
bowels than individuals, they have even less. ,
Where the spirit ot justice and of equity is
wanting—where the love of humanity is dis
placed by the thirst for money—it is difficult to
be hopeful, and seems as if one were fated to
revolve perpetually within a circle of vice, from
which the only possible escape would lie by ,i
revolution more fearful than the evil from which
we suffer.
It is useless to disguise the fact—the great
republic in spite of its vast resources—in spit
of the vast field which it offers to human activ
ity, lias henceforth, like Europe, its festerin''
sore a proletarian class, at least in the Atlantic
States which are most thickly settled. Liber
ty, pretended infollible remedy for every evil
is powerless to cure the wound.
It will spread wider and further, unless con
sciences shall resume thrtr swav, which does
not appear probable; avidity and egotism In
come tempered by some sentiment of iustie ■
and equity, and men desist from embarking in
extravagant speculations, to return to those ,
pursuits of honest industry which are truly
propuetive to the masses, When may we liopi
to sec this return toward the golden age? We
believe the day to be far oft; and that the exclu
sive religion of the God Dollar is not yet about
to lose its fanatics.
That, which we have endeavored to show is i
that, if the South has had her King Cotton, tlm
North obeys a God to tlie full, as demoralizing
and far oilier wise imperious and oppressive.
Let Utopians'say what they will, the'sentence
of Hobbes is unfortunately true: Homo homini

they are to obtain a livelihood.” j.
Wo do not, believe Col. Thomas made this re
port, or anything like it. There is not a word
of truth in it from beginning to end.
Colored children are not taken away from l
their parents at the request of white persons, t
and bound out by the Probate Court. Nor are
they then turned loose without education.
What are the facts ? There is a State law op
erating only upon such as have no parents. “
They cannot tie bound'out at all, except tliev
are reported unable to take care of themselves,
and have no parents to bind them out. But
the mendacity oftlieabovc is in its conclusion.
It is stated that they are turned loose without
education. Now, when it is remembered that
none 0f these apprentices arc likely to be twen- -
tv-one for several years to come, tlie slander is 11
apparent. There is a law requiring every man
receiving an apprentice to learn hiin or her to q
read and write, and he gives a bond that lie will n
do it. This law is carried out, and we have
never heard a word of complaint before.—
Tfiere is ample power in the State government,
td enforce the law, if any one should be dis
posed to disregard it.
Judge Cambell, of tlie Circuit bench of tiii i 1
State, recently decided to return to liis parents
a colored child who liad bound himself out, and
did not desire to return to his parents—deciding
that under the laws of this State tlie parents liad
the legal control of tlie child until he was l
twenty-one years of age. * 1
We have slated that we do not believe (Ail. j
Thomas made any such report. In a recent
conversation with him, we had occasion to re- i
ler to the very subject. Ills remarks were cn- e
tirely at variance with the opinions reported as
entertained by him in the close of the quoted
paragraph, ft is because we believe Col. Tliomir
iueapable of misrepresenting us that he is so
much respected by our people. We would,
therefore, suggest to him that to set this matter
fully at rest, he deny the above statement over
liis own signature.— Vicksburg Herald, 10 th.

Dream of the Presidency.—Mr. William
Welch, in the Home Dairy, is responsible for T
the truth of the annexed : x
We have already mentioned the fact that in
1845 we resided at Sprinfleld, the capital of the
State of Illinois. We worked as a journeyman
printer in the ofiice of tlie Illinois State Regis
ter, the leading Democratic paper in the State,
and possessed rare opportunities to note the
political combinations of the day. Thomas H.
Benton was the recognized leader of the De
mocracy of the Northwest, and he held his po
sition so firmly that to displace him was no I
easy task. At about this time, however, a com
bination was formed against him, in his own
party, and tlie Missouri Republican, the leading *
Whig paper of Missouri, was taken in as an
ally. Mr. Douglas was then a rising politician,
and already had the Democracy of the State at „
at liis feet; lie was chosen as the man to direct e
the combination, and to reap the harvest if sue t
cessfnl. The facts came to my observation in

cheerful warmth. No notice was taken of mv f
presence, and from the general conversation I ?
easily gathered that the three were just from a '
secret caucus. Messrs. Walker and Campbell
were reasonably “jolly,” as was their wont; !
Douglas was sober as a judge, and looked quite
“jockey” in liis bell-crowned hat. Said Doim- \
las : h f
“Gentlemen, do yffu believe the Republican can 1
be relied upon ?”
“Certainly,” said Walker, “we take a creator
risk on opening up on Benton than that Whig (
concern takes in advancing you. After we have '
killed off Tom Benton, of courf?it wiU pitch
into you—but,”—and here Walker raised his
clenched list, and brought, it down with great I
force on the imposing stone —“by G—, Benton
shall bite the dust, and you shall be the big man
of the Northwest, and in time President of the
United States.” (
We have no doubt but the aspirations of
Douglas for the Presidency dated from that
moment—and from that time until I finally left
the ollk e, his name was daily mentioned in con
nection with that high station. Those who re- ■
member the |political history of those days will
remember with what bitterness “Old Bullion” '
was assailed by liis own party, and with what
success. Douglass did, indeed, become the
great leader of his party, not only in the North
west, but in the North and East; he, too, aimed
high for the Presidency.

OS"\YE HAVE LEARNED NOT TO BE
astonished at anything. Years of experience and a
correspondence extending throughout all nationalities
of the habitable globe, have turned theories into facts
and established a basis from which we need not err. -
We are not surprised at such facts as the following,’
although the persons who write them are. We know
the persons and circumstances, hence feel at liberty to
endorse their statements:
“New Bfdford, Mass., Nov. 24,1863.
Dear Sir: I have been afflicted many years with
severe prostrating cramps in my limbs, cold foot and
hands, and a general disordered system. Physicians
and medicines failed to me. While visiting
some friends in Now York who were using Plantation
Bitters, they prevailed upon me to try them. I com
menced with a small wine glassful after dinner. Feel
ing better by degrees, in a few days I was astonished
to find the coldness and cramps had entirely left me,
and I could sleep tlie night through, which I have not
done for years. I feel like another being. My appe
tite and strength have also greatly improved by the
use of the Plantation Bitters.
Respectfully, Judith Russel.”

for fourteen months - speeches* an<l nearly dead. At
Alton, 111., they gave me a bottle of Plantation Bit
ted. * * * Three bottles restored my speech and
cured me. * * *
C. A. Flaute.”
The following is from.the manager of the Union
Home School for the children of volunteers:
“Havemevkr Mansion, 67tu St., ?
I New York, August 2,1863. $
Hr. Brake: Your wonderful Plantation Bitters
have been given to some of our little children suffer
ing from weakness and weak lungs, with most happy
effect.. One littltgirlin particular, with pains in her
head, loss of appetite and daily wasting consumption,
on whom all medical skill had been exhausted, has
been entirely restored. We commenced with but a
teaspoonful of Bitters a day. Her appetite and
strength rapidly increased, and she is now well.
Respectfully, Mrs. O. M. Devon.”

believe the Plantation Bitters have saved my life.

greatly benefited by their use.

The Plantation Bitters make the weak strong, the

storer. They are composed of the celebrated Calisaya
Bark, Wintergreen, Sassafras, Roots, Herbs, Ac., all
preserved in perfectly pure in St. Croix Rum.

Persons of sedentary habits, troubled with weak
ness, lassitude, palpitation of the heart, lack of appe

They are recommended by the highest medical au
thorities, and are warranted to produce an immediate
beneficial effect. They are exceedingly agreeable, per
fectly pure, and harmless.
Notice.— Any person pretending to soil Plantation
Bitters in bulk or by the gallon, is a swindler and im

strongest terms in its favor. All that we call say is to
guaranteee that we will pledge ourselves to furnish an
article
PURE AND UNADULTERATED,
such as was analysed by Professors Joseph Jones, of
Augusta; CharlesU. shepherd, of Charleston, 8. C'.,
and J. Darby, of Alabama, whose Analyses wo pub
lished in 1861, and were satisfactory to all.
We have only a few hundred tons of this well known
and Valuable Fertilizer to offer this spring, conse
quently we advise all who want any of it, to
SEND IN TIIEIR ORDERS AT ONCE.
It is put np in barrels of about 300 pounds, and the
price will he uniform, as follow*:
SOO per ton of 2,000 pounds, in Augusta, or $55 in
Savannah, cash.
