WEDNESDAY MORNING, JUNE (>, 1866.'
KEEP TOUR LANDS.
V Subjoined is given a handsome article, from
the Richmond Enquirer, which will well repay
perusal. While not prepared to endorse its
views to their lull extent, we are heartily iu ac
cord with its main idea, that, as the possession
of land carries with it power, such possession
should, ire the ease of the South, be retained as
lons' asJn any manner possible. On the coast
of tfjftouciiA and along the sou shore ol our sister
state ol South {Jakomna there is even a greater
force In the Enquirer's admonitions than in the
case of The Old Dominion. By Sherman’s
order—as his general order No. 15, series of
18ti.v is gen orally .known —the possession, of
very m;iny valuable coast lands and sea island
plantations was divested out of the original
owners and given over to the blacks. In the
eye of the law, this transfer is, of course, wholly
nugatory and void, carrying with it no adverse
title that could stand a. day before any court in
Christendom, Sherman himself has said he
knew, when issuing his order, this would be so,
but possession being nine points of the law as
the old proverb has it, certain owners have
come almost to despair of ever coming into their
own. This Hopelessness hits been encouraged
by the arts of certain knavish speculators who,
knowing the Southern man's title is good, yet
eagerly seek to make him think otherwise, in
hopes to thereby obtain quit claim deeds at a
very trilling outlay. Some of our people have
already, we hear, been cheated in this manner,
and with the assurance that their title Is good
and will in time be so declared we have very
earnestly to advise those who have as yet not
renounced their rights to refuse to do so, for
anything short ol' what as a plain matter of or :
dinary business would be a fair consideration.
Land is Power, as all history testifies, - and the
best interests of our people, political and mone
tanv, demand that no real estate title should be
relinquished except under such circumstances
ns, in ordinary' peaceful times, would lead
owners to willingly aliene. If approached by
speculators, drive them from, you by a stern
refusal to play Esau's part, and if forcibly dis
posessed under any colour of authority, no mat
ter whence emanating, enter such a protest as
may serve to show hereafter in the courts that
you did not consent to your own wrong. This
is the Enquirer's article :
Congress, ns it shows by the tax it proposes
to lay upon all lorms of tobacco, by the inor
dinate tax of live cents per pound which it
to lay upon cotton, and by Us action
in regard to the collection of the internal re
venue, is anxious to derive large revenues from
the Southern States, while it would, at the same
time, repress Southern industry and prosperity,
it recognizes the revenues from the South as
necessary, while it diminishes them by its strin
gent measures. It would make the South pay
taxes, but it begrudges her the products on
which those taxes arc laid. It would make the
South a waste, to punish the people, and yet
it would have it affluent in crops so that it
might yield revenue t.o the Government. It
cannot do both of these things, and will have
to choose between them. If the Government
desires to profit by Southern industry and pros
perity, it must encourage them.
We sometimes fear, and wo have reason .to
fear, that the scheme of the men now upper
most in the counsels of the North is so lo clog
Southern industry with such impediments and
drawbacks as to discourage and disgust, those
engaged in it, and induce them to throw their
lands into market. The glut of lands would
tic so great as to reduce the price to a standard
that would enable. Northerners to pick nud
choose, and purchase up the desirable estates
in every locality. The millions of unemploy
ed capital at the North could tind uo more pro
fitable Investment. The investment of paper
money in cotton lands would be almost tanta
mount to its conversion into cotton, the equiv
alent of gold, and without any,, loss of dis
count. Such a scheme, pertinaciously ad
hered to, might result., in the course of a few
short-years, in an entire change in the proprie
torship of the soil. The whole soil would be
transferred to Northern hands, and cultivated
by tlie negro laborers now resident on it, who
would be hired by the new a scale ol
prices regulated by no competitjAn, aijd ad
justed at the option of the new otifc* These
new proprietors, thus colonizingghaptiiouth,
would have all the aid that
ional legislation could give tffem. Many of
them woidd remain at their homft in the
North, and cultivate their lands by deputies.—

or
be tupon
then settlers and negroes, com
bining with the so-called Union men of the
South, would aspire to control the States in
their internal domestic policy. In process of
time, they would outvote the Southern white's,
till the State offices with their own men and make
all the laws to suit themselves. Owning the
soil, having llic labor of the negroes, favored
by a sympathizing Government iu every respect,
they would reap and enjoy all the immense
profits of the cotton, tobacco, sugar, rice, corn
and wheat crops. In the meantime what would
become of the Southern whites after parting
with their lands? In numerous instances they
would be cheated out of the purchase money.
When honestly paid, it would perhaps be inves
ted in stock that would become valueless —some
fancy stock gotten up for the occasion by
shrewd New Englanders. If well invested, in
nine cases out often the interest would be in
adequate as a support. The principal would
have to be encroached upon, until Interest,
principal and all would be consumed. Then
would be presented the melancholy spectacle of
•almost a nation without lands, without money,
without employment. Would they come down
to manual labor ? if so they would have to
work side by side witli the negroes, and on the
soil they once owned, for the New England
proprietors and task-masters. If they did not
work, they and their famlics would have to
starve —for white paupers are not embraced iu
the charities of the Freedmen’s Bureau. Some
few might be able, to emigrate to Mexico, Bra
zil, Venezuela, but uine out of ten woidd not
have tlie means to remove their -families. A
people thus hemmed in, .thus pauperised, thus
driven to desperation, would have but one re
source—revolution. If successful, this might
enable them to recover their lands and their
lost position. An earfhquake, the forked
lightning, an avalanche, are not more to be
dreaded than a brave race thus driven to the ex
tremity ot despair. It matters not that they
would be ultimately subdued; that considera
tion would not perhaps deter them. Their first
rush would be upon the occupants of the lands
upon which they and their children were born
and reared, and it would be like the rush of
hungry tigers upon their prey.
In every aspect in which it can be viewed, a
stringent, cruel, repressive policy towards the
Boutheru people is dreadful to contemplate.-
Although we see uo symptom of relenting on
the part of the Radicals, we cannot altogether
repress the hope that a merciful God will
change the hearts of those who pursue us with
such inhuman malignity, if, however, they
shall continue to harass and persecute us, let
ns bear it as well as we may—let us draw to
gether among ourselves, hold aloof from stran
gers, devote ourselves to such pursuits as may
be still open to us, and resolve, under no cir
cumstances, to part with our lands to persons
not known to be friends. Let us determine to
bear any cross, submit to any inconvenience
incident to their present cultivation, and hold
them until death deprives us of them, and im
pose the same condition in our wills upon those
to whom they shall descend. When the lands
of tlie Southern people are alienated, the
Southern race will, in a few short years, become
extinct. They will not even have the privilege
extended to the ancient Jew's, of being scatter
ed among the nations of tlie earth.
We do not imagine that any Congress could
be guilty of tlie great iniquity of robbing us of
our lands. For a direct robbery no defence
could be made. But we sometimes think that,
tlie Radical policy contemplates as an expedient
goading us by tyranny iuto some outbreak that
wilt give them a pretext for general confisca
tion, as a means of getting possession of our
soil. Our advice to all, therefore, is—sell no
land to any one not known to be a friend, and
under no circumstances, no provocation, no
pressure, engage In any outbreak, or commit
any act that can, by possibility, give tlienusuch
a pretext. A year has passed since the war
closed, and we still have our lands, our houses,
our flocks and herds. Let us cling to them and
never part with them. This is a saurtKl ilqty
which we owe to posterity.
THE COUNTY COURT.
On Monday last the County Court of Rich
mond 1 County, organized under tlie late act of
tlie General Assembly, held its first session.
This, though the semi-annual session, not the
first regular monthly sitting, which is to be
had on the lltli prox., is the first holding of
this Court, and so far ns can be seen, the expe
riment in our judicature promises to work well.
After tlie machinery of the Court had been
gotten into working order, his Honor, Judge
McLaws proceeded to address tlie Grand Jury
in a charge which is here given, though we re
gret to say fat so necessarily imperfect a state as
fail to convey the fhll merit of his Honour’s re
marks.
CHARGE OF JUDGE M’LAWS TO THE
GRAND JURY IN RICHMOND COONTY
COURT.
As this Court is a new feature in the Judici
ary of Georgia, and as this is the first regular
term of the Court, perhaps it is fit and proper
that I should say something to yofi in relation
to your powers and duties.
You sit here entirely as at? rand Inquest for
the preliminary investigation of criminal causes.
You will not he called upon to try auy civil
causes, as there are no appeal causes triable in
this Court, nor any causes requiring the inter
positiou of a special jury. As a Grand Inquest,
yotfr powers and duties cease with this terjn.
At the adjournment of this Court, the law re
quires me to draw aisother Grana Jury, which
is required to serve for the next six months.
They will be required to attend at the monthly
sessions, and diacliarge-'tlie duties df a Grand
Inquest. With a prompt and energetic Solici
tor, I presume half a day’s attendance, or per
haps a day’s, will be all that will be required ot
them, unless there should be an unusual number
of criminal eases to be presented by them.
This Court has criminal jurisdiction over all
offenses in which exclusive jurisdiction is not
vested in the Superior Court, and the Constitu
tion says that the Superior Court shall have ex
elusivejurisdiction in all cases of felony. Felonv,
as most of you know, is atf onence sn j,_
jects the offender, on conviction, to capital pun.
ishment or penitentiary imprisonment. It has,
consequently, jurisdiction In all cases of misde
meanors, and thcrerarc now over one hundred
defined by our laws, —the last Legislature hav
ing reduced some twenty-two felonies to mis
demeanors.
[At this point his Honour enumerated the
felonies reduced as stated, which enumeration,
as being of almost purely professional interest,
is not given, and then continued.]
It is your duty to hike notice of these offen
ces, and there arc two ways pointed out by law
—the firs, by presentment; the second, by in
dictment,. A presentment is the knowledge,
which a Grand Jury takes ot an offence, from
their own knowledge or observation. When an
offence lias been committed, it becomes the
duty of any of you to report it to your body—
instruct the Solicitor to prepare a special
presentment against the offender, and to sum
mon the witnesses. If, after examination, yon
should be convinced that the matter is worthy
of further investigation, it is your duty lo bring
in the presentment, upon which the Solicitor
lorms an indictment, and upon which the of
fender is tried. In a special presentment no
prosecutor'is necessary—the whole Grand Jury
become, as it were, the prosecutor. In ease of
an indictment, a prosecutor is necessary, and
any individual can become the prosecutor.
Most eases that come before Grand Juries are
bound over by our Justices of the Peace, the
papers being returned to the Cfcrk of the Court,
who turns them over to the Solicitor, who
forms the hills of indictment, summons the
witnesses, and sends the bills to you.
Your foreman lias the right to swear the wit
nesses and lo examine them. A copy of the
oatli will be furnished you by the Solicitor.
The proceedings before you are necessarily
ex parte, that is, on one side. You do not find
the defendant guilty of the offence charged by
your true bill—should there be one. This is
not your province; your body, as I have re
marked, is a Grand Inquest, and you are to in
quire if the matter is worthy of further investi
gation. If you think it is, bring in your special
presentment or find true bill; if not, decline to
return the special presentment or find no bill.
Proceedings, before you being necessarily
ex parte, as said, you have in your action upon
hill or presentment to be guided by what, as
men of sound sense would in ordinary atliiirs,
be deemed probable cause. And, while on this
topic, let me urge the importance of proceed
ing only on such probable cause as may lead
you to suppose an offence has been committed,
and a conviction of the offender will follow on
trial of the petit jury. Otherwise your action
may, in many instances, prove nugatory, and
it is too often the ease that valuable time is
taken up, the time alike of judge, lawyers and
juries, by the consideration of bills and pre
sentments which must result in acqnittul. It
is also yourduty, though not so under the
old common law, to take cognizance of offenses
coming to your knowledge even before you
may have been sworn of the Grand Jury, and
at all times you should remember that your
proper sphere of action In this court is in the
Grand Jury roonij alone. You have no duty in
the courtroom but to bring in your bills.
In the case of an indictment, should you be
lieve the prosecution to be unfounded or mn
licious, in the event of yoijr finding no bill,
you must so find in order to mulct the prose
cutor with the costs, but if the bill be true you
must so find whether malicious or not.. It is
necessary, gentlemen, that there should her n>
concurrence ot* twelve, of your body to find a
bill. The Solicitor will instruct you as to the
manner of inserting your names and writing
your finding.
The construction of the Grand Jury is some
what different in this Court. In the Superior
Court, as in Courts generally throughout the
country, derived from the English system, a
Grand Jury must consist of not less than
eighteen nor more than twenty-three, but the
law organizing this Court says that your body
shall consist of not more than eighteen nor less
than thirteen, but iri both Courts ii concurrence
of twelve is required.
Your oath instructs you solemnly to inquire
diligently as to all violations of the laws, and
that you shall present all tilings truly, and shall
leave no one unpresented, from fear, favor, af
letiou, or reward, or the hope thereof. The
(laws and your lellow-eitizens require of you a
constant reference to this oath.
And in reference to this oath I feel it incum
bent upon me to speak of certain evils arising
from the laxity with which its obligation hits
sometimes been regarded. It is '■'■the States
counsel, your fellows, and your own to keep se
cret" and yet from thoughtlessness it has been
too often found that matters passing in the
Grand -lory room had afterwards obtained pub
licity, leading to estrangements among former
friends, hindering the ends of justice, and mak
ing that body which should be the conservator
of the public good a source ot uo little amount
of evil.
As I remarked to you, gentlemen, your duties
cease with the present term of this Court, aud
I am required by the act organizing this Court
to draw a new Grand Jury to serve at the next
monthly session, which sitsou the second Wed
nesday of this month, and at every session for
the next months. This at first view is calculat
ed to startle the citizens, for the duty imposed
serins unreasonably onerous; bnt such is the
law, gentlemen, arid we will have to obey it.
It was tlie remark of a very eminent jurist of
Georgia, and a very distinguished patriot and
signer of the Declaration of Independence,
George Walton—that if Hie law is a good one,
enforce it, aud the public will reap the benefit
derived from its enforcement, and if the law is
a bad one, enforce it—and the sooner it will lie
repealed. Sould this law prove to be a bad one
flic next Legislature will doubtless repeal it;
but If working evil only in some of its pro
visions, it will be so changed or modified as to
conform to the teachings of experience or the
wishes of the people.
lint so far as 1 can judge, gentlemen, without
the lights of experience before me, 1 hazard tjic
opinion that the tears which have been ex
pressed, as to tlie onerous duties of the Grand
Jurors have beeu very much exaggerated ; they
will he required to attend at each Court for the
next six months, but as they will have no civil
duties to perform, they will simply be required
to make presentments and find bills, and with a
prompt and energetic Solicitor, 1 do not see
how, as before said, they will lie required to at
tend more than one day at each session, or per
haps no more, than half a day, unless there
should be an unusual number of eases reported
for action. You must bear iu mind that the
majority of criminal cases reported to tlie Court
for action, are turned over by the magistrates
which will give the Solicitor when fully install
ed into office, ample time to prepare his bills
before the meeting of the Court, and as the
Juries are so few —one in six months only—
and living in tlie same county with the Solicit
or, they themselves can at any time report such
eases to him as they desire to make special pre
sentments of.
Tlie duties of a grand juror of this Court will
not be near so onerous as that of a Grand Ju
ror of the Superior Court, for he has no civil
eases to try; no felonies to investigate, and
will, in all probability, be only called upon to
servo six days in the six months.
But, gentlemen, jjmtHffi' state of affairs in our
country enjoins upon us all more activity and
energy as citizens, and, like true meu, we must
gather fresh courage from the real duties which
changed relations have imposed upon its.
Gentlemen, in conclusion, as the Judge of
this Court, I have taken an oath to “ adminis
ter justice without respect to persons, aud do
equal rights to the poor and ttip rjch, and that'
I will iaithf'ully discharge and perform all the
duties incumbent on me as Judge, So Hei.p Me
God.”
This oath, gentlemen, 1 shall continually bent
in mind, aud shall epdeavor to discharge the
duties it imposes upon me without fear, favor
or affection, or reward, or the hope thereof;
and 1 ask t he'countenance and co-operat ion of
you, gentlemen of tlie Jury, my brethren of the
Bar, aud all good citizens.
How to Ruin a Son and “Finish” a Daughter.
IIOW TO RUIN A SON.
1. Let him have his own way.
2. Allow him a free use qf money.
3. Suffer him to roam where lie pleases on
tlie Sabbath.
4. Give him full access to wicked com
panions.
5. Call him to no account for his evenings.
6. Furnish him with no stated employ
ment.
HOW TO “FINISH” A DAUGHTER.
1. Be always telling her liow pretty she
looks.
2- Instill into her mind a proper love of
tlress.
3. Acppstom her to so much pleasure that
slid is never happy at home.
4. Allow her to read nothing blit novels.
5. Teaeli her all tlie aecomplishments, but
none of the utilities of life.
6. Keep her in the darkest ignorance of the
mysteries of housekeeping.
7- Initiate her into the principle that it is
vulgar to do anything for herself,
8. To strengthen the latter belief, let her have
a lady’s maid.
!>. And lastly, having given her such an edu
cation, marry her to a clerk, upon 1500 a year,
or a lieutenant going out to a fort.
If, with the above careful training, your
daughter is not finished, you may be sure it is
no fault of yours, and you must look upon her
escape as nothing short of a miracle.
Craw-Fishinq.— The Radical papers are try
ing to prove that Jefferson Davis fares well in
prison, by giving a good account of his prison
rations since Dr. Cooper made his report. Mr.
Davis was in prison about a year before that, a
fact of some little importance in this connec
tion. The efforts of the turnkeys seem, how
ever, to have been not so much to starve the
prisoner as to put him to death by the torture
of a want of sleep. The starving process of
the two would have been the best, however.
Affairs in Augusta, Georgia.
To the Editor of the Army and Navy Journal:
Sir : My attention has been ealled to an
article in the New Y ov\sfTribune of May 16th,
which doesgross injustice to Generals Bramian
and Till son. The mistake the Tribune makes
is in crediting the reports of the Imuol Georgian,
a paper professedly devoted to the interest of
the freednaen, but actually used by J. E. Bryant,
Ex-Captehi United States Volunteers, Ex-As
sistent Commissioner Freed men’s Suremi, now
Attorucy-at-Law, Freedmen’s Counsellor, and
Editor-in-chief for his own advabeement.
Recently returned from Augusta, Georgia,
and cognizant of the facts in the recent attempt
to decorate the graves of our soldiers, I cannot
remain silent while so untruthful tin account is
current, wptle one will question that there
are many outrages com...u„ >(l dailr !lt the Soilll
insults offered to the living as wen -*--a«ad
it is our duty to be just.
The graves of the Rebel dead were decorated
on the 2ttth of April. On that night the lady
of freedmen’s schools being together,
one ot n,«pj remarked, “ Let us get lip a cele
bration ; ntt™ our scholars bring flowers, go in
procession, and decorate our soldiers’ craves.—
We’ll see liow the Rebels will Jlke that.” The
ladies present favored the project, i*nd all agreed
to request their scholars to bring flowers and
unite In doing honor to the dead on the 28tl> of
April. Next day in all the schools the scholars
were invited 1 to bring flowers, and strictly en
joined not to mention the purpose for which
they were intended. It could not be kept quiet,
however, and many boasts were mane of bow
they’d take down the pride of these Rebels. Jt
naturally excited much feeling, and the Mayor
accidently bearing of it, called upon Generals
Brannan and Tillson to confer with them.. He
told them of the proposed celebration ; that it
had already occasioned ill feeling, and he feared
would cause trouble, and asked if it could not
be postponed ; that would they wait a tortnigbt
he would himself assist in decorating the
graves of Union soldiers. Whether intended
as an insult to the citizens or not, the
proposed celebration was considered as such.
General Tillson replied that lie was opposed
to the' movement at this time, and would
advise those. interested to postpone it. Gen
eral Brannan made a similar reply. Sev
eral of the leading and most.intelligent freed
nien also called upon Gen. Tillson, and re
quested him to interfere, and thus prevent
trouble. On Reeing Captain Bryant and Sir. Eb
erhart, Superintendent of Schools, Gen. Tillson,
told them, as he had told the Mayor, that he
was opposed to the aftiiir at this time, and he
hoped they wonld abandon the idea. They ex
cluded not to postpone it, however, and on
the 28tli of April the teachers assembled their
scholars at Thankful Church, near the cemete
ry. Apprehending trouble, Mr. Eberhart went
to the cemetery, where he found the Mayor,
who had witli him a police loree to preserve
order. Approaching the Mayor, Mr. Eherliai 1 #
said: “Mr. Mayor have you any objection lo
the Union ladies entering the cemetery and
strewing flowers on the graves of our soldiers?”
“Not the slightest sir, and it would afford me
pleasure, to accompany you and assist
in your labor of love.” “Shal. we lie permit
ted to bring our Scholars ?’’ “No, sir.” “But
we wish them to accompany ns.” “Mr. Eberhart,
let us settle this matter at once. You were doubt
less here two days ago, when the ladies of the city
decorated the graves. You saw how it was done
They brought their servants to carry the baskets
of flowers. You ean do as they did; the ladies
can enter witli a sufficient number of servants
to carry the flowers, but no procession ean en
ter the gates.” Mr. Eberhart returned to the
church and reported tlie result of the inter
view. The scholars then sang “The Battle
Cry of Freedom,” (probably to add to the so
lemnity of the occasion,” and “conciliate" tlie
rebels), commenced tiling out of the church,
and moved toward the cemetery. Captain Bry
ant and Mr. Eberhart on tlie sidewalk in ad
vance. As they approached, the Mayor said,
“ Please designate the gate you wish to enter.”
Mr. Eberhart did so, and tlie Mayor ordered the
gate-keeper to lie ready to open it. The pro
cession was a very large one, extending from
tlie cemetery to the church. When it halted
the Mayor said : “ Ladies, please designate the
servants yon wish to accompany you, and I
will order the gate thrown open.” “Oh, but
we want them all,” one replied—“all have
flowers.” The Mayor replied that could not
be, and that he thought the matter was fully
understood. Captain Bryant remarked they
might compromise tlie matter, to which the
Mayor replied there could be no compromise,
and repeatei] what he had told Mr. Eberhart.—
He was prepared to open the gates for tlie la
dies in the manner designated, but the proces
sion could not enter. Throughout the inter
view the Mayor, Janies T. Gardiner, conduct
ed himself in tlie most gentlemanly mauner.—•
lie is a man of ability, integrity and worth, and
so long is he fills the office, equal justice will
lie dispensed to all—lie they Yankee, rebel or
freednnn.
The procession returned to tlie church, one
young lady remarked, very excitedly, “Well
Captain Bryant, if I “commenced a tiling I’d
put it through.” At the church, a committee,
of which Capt, Bryant was chief spokesman,
was appointed to wait upon General Tillson.
Captain Bryant informed the General of the
situation of affairs, and requested liim to fur
nish a military force to enable them to enter
the cemetery. “What!” replied General Till
sou, “and have blood shed over the graves of
the dead ? 1 shall do no Such thing; and, fur
thermore, I will advise General Brannan to
refuse any such application.” Upon this the
committee left, and very properly decided to
make no appeal to General B.
Captain Bryant stated wlmt l>o l;now to be I
false, “that the offices of United States offi
cers were closed on tlie day of the Rebel cele
bration in honor of the occasion. On tiial day
it. so chanced that the office of tlie Freedmen’s
Bureau was open even later than common.
General Tillson remaining there himself until
past live o’clock. General Braunau and Colonel
Moe’s (A. A. G.) offices were open as usual.
While Captain Bryant is not utterly unworthy,
the course he has pursued iu Augusta has been
such as to stir up strife between the races, and
be lias ever exercised a most pernicious influ
ence. To men of his stamp the country is in
debted for much ot the opposition shown to
the Bureau by the Southern people.
Captain Bryant, in speaking of the assault on
himself, justly characterized by all good citizens
as brutal and cowardly, shoiild have had the
manliness to state, that when General Tillson
heard ot it he waited on the Mayor, who sent
for the City Marshal at once, saw that the man
was arrested, his name stricken from the rolls
of the police force, and charges preferred. He
has since been bound over for trial at next term
of Superior Court for assault with intent to
kill.
General Tillson is a most able and energetic
officer ; oue of the few Radicals in tlie army—
such an one as the Tribune should be tlie last
to censure. But, while Radical, he is honest
and true to his office, endeavoring to do justice
to all, be they white or black. Assailed as lie
is by all parties, and surrounded by adventur
ers, who neutralize the good' effects produced
by the Bureau, his position is by no means a
pleasant one. J. M.
Divorces in Ohio—Upwards op Eight
Hundred Last Year.— The Cincinnati Gazette
has an interesting Condensation of that portion
of the report of the Ohio Commissioner of
Statistics for 1865, which relates to tlie number
and character of divorces. It says:
Tlie whole number of divorces in this State
reach the number of eight hundred and thirty
seven in one year. This, at the present popula
tion Os the State, is one to three thousand per
sons, and one divorce to twenty-six of the an
nual number of -marriages. It is not a very
pleasant thought, that when we look upou
twenty-six couples of young married people,
we know that one of those couples must be.
divorced. Yet such is the state of fact.
The causes of divorce are described in the
revised statutes of this State to be: Ist.
“ Anolhcj; wife, or husband, living.” 2d. “ Wil
ful absence for three years.” 3d. “ Adultery.”
4th. “ Impotency,” which is put under the
general head of fraud. s.th. “ Extreme cruelty,”
which, with the 7th, “ Gross neglect of duty,”
is put under the same head. Bth. “ Habitual
drunkenness.” The -divorces of other States
are likewise recognized, which oftentimes give
rise to frauds.
To divorce parties for “ three years’ wilful
absence” is, in many cases, to legalize fraud.—
It may be said ‘bat neither tlie wife nor society
are benetitted by keeping a vicious or vagabond
husband. But if a husband ox wife, especially
the former, chooses to take that mode of di
vorce in this immense extent of country and
various States, he eau do it any time. By re
siding in any ot four-fifths of the American
States for two or three years, a divorce can lie
obtained ou tlie part of the vagrant husband, at
the request of the husband or wife, while the.
other party is, perhaps, lamenting his absence,
and utterly innocent ot any offence.
The statistics of tlie county court arc as fol
lows :
Adultery 276
Absence 256
Cruelty and neglect 220
Drunkenness ‘ 55
Fraud 20
This table in one particular fails of giving the
true result. Only fifty-five cases are put down
as caused directly by drunkenness; but that
was the true cause in double that number, be
cause the trial of the cases in court shows that
drunkenness has been a main cause of cruelty
and neglect.
It is a little curious that while the crime of
adultery is very difficult to prove, there should
he flo less than two hundred and eighty-six
eases of open adultery proved in court. It
shows great abandonment of character on the
part of some portions of the community. It is
not less curious that tlie majority of these arc
In counties where there are uo very large
towns.
The following resolution, which points out a
means whereby tlie entire negro race may lie
effectually destroyed, and the country rid of
their presence forever, comes all the way from
pious Boston. It was offered, strange to say,
at a meeting of the New England Anti-slavery
Society on Wednesday last:
Resolved, That deeply sympathising with our
colored fellow-citizens for the outrages to which
they are subjected at the hands of Southern
rebels, through the complicity or indifference
of the Government, we warn their oppressors
that the day is not far distant when passive sub
mission will cease to be a virtue, and duty and
honor will alike require them, in imitation of
our revolutionary fathers, to assume the defense
of their own rights, and appeal for their justi
fication to the intelligence and humanity of the
civilized world.

Some Tkutii.—A good many freedmen may
daily be seen arodiul the Courthouse, having
been summoned to the Superior Court as wit
nesses. An old fellow remarked a lew days ago,
“ White folks done turned fool »hout niggers
stealin’. Why don't dey give ’urn whipping,
and let ’urn go ’hont business, and not turn

The Tokti ovs Convicts.—The Supreme
Court of the United States have decided that
the Indiana Military Commission for the trial
of civilians, to be illegal, the persons convicted
by it having, in consequence, been discharged,
there is no doubt that steps will be taken to
procure the release of Dr. Arnold,
O’Laugliiin fnd Spangler, convicted ot con
spiring against the life of President Lincoln.
Wocld’nt Stay with Him.—John Town

thought of feeding my iiands, even gave them
coffee and sour kront, when what should they
do but datuand butter for their bread and milk
for their coflee, and the next thing the whole

Dens, of Deas’ brigade, Confederate States
army, were found yesterday morning near the
mouth of Three Mile creek. It will lie remem
bered that this respected young man was acci

too hard. “ Pardon me,” said he, very natural

It is certainly a grand establishment, and speaks fa
vorably of the merit ot liis articles, lie retains liis
Office and Laboratory in this city, which are also
model establishments of their elass.
Tile proprietor lias bean induced to make this state

GENUINE PREPARATIONS,
and knowing that the intelligent refrain from using
any thing pertaining to Quackery, or the Patent Medi

Doctors, who are too ignorant to read a physician's
