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.” Ax Importswi Order.

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. [ Ohio Farmer. j Highly Important Order.

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 ize, stability in our money affairs from his en lightened labors, lie was 61 years of age.

From Gaudalajara, under dates of llili ult., wo are informed of the lauding at Allata of Ogazon, with a staff of A meric tin officers, and arms purchased in S.in Francisco.

They have done their work so thoroughly that all the way between Charon! and Tautoyuquita there is no shelter for man or beast.

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 hipas . Another Staffer Nailed. Coi. Thomas is most 'urfbfHin.ate in Ids re- 1 ports.

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. When Stephen A. Douglas Began to 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 thiswise: Iliad charge of the job room, and J my companion consisted of a roller bov onlv. ,i One day Mr. Walker, editor of the Register, .« Mr. Campbell, Secretary of State, and Mr. f Douglas, at that time a member of Congress, entered the job room, and the three drew tip a around the coal stove, which was giviim- out a t 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.

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.
