<EI)e jCeitqet. L AN CASTXEVILLZ.S. 0. Wednesday Morning, Knr?k 18, 1868. Last week was decidedly cold for llarcli, there being ice in abundance and a freeze upon the gnund several moiuinga. A few of the peach and plum trees arc in full bloom, but it is hoped that they have not been seiiousiy damaged. The fruit trees aie more backward than usual, and this fact enhances the prospect of a ~ good ftuit ci op. The remains of Lieut. J. L. Dunlap, who died from a wound received in one of the battles before Richmond, and the remains of J. K. CrockAit ?I.- .i - . ... - ..v? uicu in me- nospiui at Lynchburg, t < in December last, were brought to this place last week and deposited ill the Prcabytcrian Church-yard on Sunday afternoon with military honors. A very impressive funeral discourse was preached on the occasion by lfer. Mr. ^rs'g. These were both young men in the prime of lile, residents of our village, and greatly esteemed in the community. They have shared the fate of thousands of other victims to this cruel and unnatural war. In their bereav. rnent the respective families of the deceased have the heartfelt sympathies of our community. CourtThere was no Court in our town the ptc<ant week, there being no Judge in attendance.? Wa do not know the causa of the noti-aUen... . I uance 01 iiic juug?, Out suppose he stayed awny uader the apprehension that there was no uiat ter here requiring his presence. The juiors were called regularly on Monday morning and dismissed by the Clerk until Tuesday morning, when they were again called and dismissed linal' ly, and a new panel drawn for the next Te:in. llis llouor II. Monroe was expected to preside. Mark Him. We heard it reported on th^ streets a few , days ago that a certain man had refused to re. ceive Confederate money from the wife of a soldier, for corn, demanding the gold or silver. We do not know whether the report be true or (alee: if true it should make the name of that individual infamous for all lime to come ; i( false it should not be circulated. The currency mutt be sustained or the cause is lost, end he who acta in a way to disparage it is an enemy to the country, whatever elae he may appear to be. The man who demands other money than the Government currency for what he has to sell, or who reluses to sell st all because he discredits the currency, should be deseed with the vilest emissaries, foreign or demeslic,.which odr country has to contend with. Sale of Government Stock The sale of Government Slock at this place ou Tuss'lsy ol last week attracted a large number of persona. All of the adjoining Districts 'were well represented. The large nun^er present and the spirited bidding indicated one of two tilings : either that horses and mules are in great demand or that money is uuusually plentiful. Soma thirty or forty horses end snules were sold. For leanness end general ahabbiuess ol appearance they challange comparison with the worst cases of horse flesh ever known in this section before. They are doubt' less the refuse of the severs! hundred bead lately brought to this District to be recruited, end such perhaps as could not be recruited in time for the wants of the Government. The Agent, however, bed no difficulty i:. disposing of tlieiu, and they brought from about seventyAve to one bundled and fifty dollars each. The war exhausts the supply so rapidly that our people should seriously turn their attention to the raising of horses and mules. The Vegetable Garden. At ibis season ol the year, and at this time of general scarcity of provisions, the vegetable garden should occupy an important place in the domestic arrangements of every family. A good garden is a decided help when tiour is selling at fifty dollara per barrel with an upward teadeucy, and other necessaries in proportion. To rear vegatables successfully requires careful . and tborougb preparation of the eoil. When i the ground is well manured, deeply spaded and the clods of earth well pulverised, the labor of raiaiDg vegetables is half over. Now ia the time to attend to this important work if it has not been done already. I<et everv available pot or earth be made to coulribute somsthiug to tbe support of the household. Tub Cckbenct.?Tbe bill authorizing the issue of bonds for funding treasury notes, (aays the South Carolinian) has passed both Houses ' of Congress.

Cotton and tobacco will have only a speculative value for yeara to coma ; but corn and oata are worth five dollara a boahal aa faat aa they can ba brought out of t^a ground.

F-very part of the Southern country can produce It in perfection and profueion.?It ia the natural erop of the country. Every farmer in the Houlh will become suddenly rich, if he will in thia year utterly renounce Cotton and tobaecfc, and plant every acre at Jiie command in corn and oata.

On the death of Col. Humes, Lieut. Col. Jones roae by promotion to fu 11 command, and Mnj. McCorkle to Lieut. Col. During the Inst month, both Col. Jones and Lieut. Col. McCorkle hare resigned on ac. count of ill heul'.h. Holh these officers were well thought of, and admired for their daring bravery and calmness so often displayed upon the battle field. We ate confident had it been in their power to remain w ith us, they would have gladly and wi'llngly done so. Cel. Jones is too far advunced in )ears to atand the camp in Virginia, and it has often been a subject of remark, why lie did not reaign and return to his home, lie was our friend at all times; a soldier of the 12th Regiment never unjustly suffered by hit command, lie bad every confidence in the "old 12th," and I am happy td say, that the "old 1 ith" appreciated the gallantry of their noble old Col^iel. Our prssvnl field officers are, J L. Miller, Colonel; II. C. Davis, Lieu'euanl Colonel, and K. F. liookler, Major. Tffev are all gallant veteran#, and clever gentlemen.

The Opinion of Congress. In tits Confederate Contrast on Monday? Mr. Maxwell, of Fla , Introduced Ihe fol?| lowing preamble ?nd resolution!* : ' Wherein a strong impression prevails , 1 throughout the country that tiie war, now being waged ugainaUthe people of the Con federate States, may terminate daring Ihe present year ; aud whereas thi* impression is lending many patriotic citizene to engage largely in the production of ontton and to batco, which they would not otherwise do; I and whereas, in the opinion of Congress, it is of the utmost importance, not only with a view to tin proper subsistence of our armies, but for the interest and welfare of all tire people, that the agricultural labor of the country should be employed chiefly in the production of a auppl\ or loud to inert every contingency ; therefore, lit solved hy the Congress of the C oofedtr ale States of America, That il is the delib er.ile judgment ol t.'ongieft*, thai tlia pvo pie of these Slates, while*tioping for pence, should look to prolong?d war, us the only soudilion protUred by the enemy, short of subjugation ; that every preparation necss. sarr to enc( untcr such a war, should be persisted in ; and that the amplest supply of provisions for armies and people, should be the liral object of all agriculturists ? Wherefore, il in earnestly recommended that the people, instead of planting cotton and tobacco, shall direct their agricultural labor uiusoly to the production of nuch crops as will ensure a nulViciency of food for ali classes, and for every smergeocy, thereby with true patriotism, subordinating the hope of gain to the certain good of the country. Resolved, J'hat the .President is hereby requested to issue u proelsmntulou to the psople ef these States, urging upon litem .... u.wv.x>i UI guuruicg against tile grant I perils ol' a aliorl crop of provisions, and setting forth auch reasons Itiarcfur as his judgment tuny dictate. Mr. .Maxwell expressed the opinion that thoae peraona who expected the olive branch of peaca would be o lie red to ua by our enei^iiaa, were very much mistaken. Foreign intervention may or niuy not cotue, but he did not look for it. The Emperor of the Fieuch may chooae to atop where ha ha* recently pi nurd the question. In England Karl Derby, who had beau regarded aa friendly to the South, had recently presented aotne very lame reason* for h very decided opposiUon*lo the reeognitiou of the Confederacy l,ook where we w ill and we ace nothing to justify our people in directing their labors to the production of any eropa except thoae required for a Condition of war ?cruel, rulhleaa war. It was with n view of impressing this fscl upon the people that he had submitted these reaolutiona Mr. Varicy, ol Ala , expressed his concurrence jo the renters* ol Mr. Maxwell, lie hoped that the resolutions would be passed i by an undivided vote, and that the loll J would be culled in order that each may record hie vole. The enemy, this day. are I more hopeful of success than thav were six j months ago ; and one of the chief causea of j this reviving hope is tiia condition of the j country, as thav deem it, with reference to | provisions, and they are carrying on ilia war j with thul idea. Aa I hey advance, they are ! destroying agricultural uuple ilenls, burning fences, barns, gin houses, imps, etc. This : fact is aiguiuranl as to oiis of the mean* they have for prosecuting the war. In regard to our lorcigu relations, Mr. Yaticav remarked that never at any time \ tins ihere been as lilllc praspscl of Ureal ' Uriluin taxing aiiv aelioii toward* rfccogni- ! lion Itolh tin* Opposition and .Ministerial parly entertain similar views upon tins question We csn d<>'without recognition, and i we cun prosecute the war to s successful ! termination without it Mr. Y. closed hy declaring that, 111 In* opinion, ivrt) uere of laud bIi?u<(i be cu.livuled lor provisions lor man and beast There should k? ho cot- j ton.
