At tho North the sufferers hare been mostly bankers, brokers and speculators generally in other peoples money. Hero, the fall in the pr>03 of Cotton has been felt iu tho poukct of every furnier?in every baisitiES* and in every profesnion. We have had no exciting telegrams, .no startling editor ials, upon the subject ot our losses, but the misfortunohas comestriaght lomo to every man. woman and ohild. At tho North few haro been damaged save those who were engaged in occupations which are not required for the well being of the community?which aro, in fact, prejudicial to ? that well being. With us, Agriculture has suffered?the ,:most useful, the most general, and the most noble employment of man." And yet our misfortune has been a direct result of the Northern panic. Our healthy and natural business has suffer ed beoause tho unhealthy and unnatural occupation of a few Northern specula tors has come te a disastrous yet logical end. Let tho South learn a lesson from all this. Let her be independent of all classes at the North save the consumers. Let her raise her own bread and inc.it, as sho easily can, even if she makes a million less bales of Cotton per annum in consequence?for she will be paid as much fot three million bales as for four millions. Then let her manufacture at least one half of her C>tton,and she need ask no odds of tho world or of any part of it. Aud if she must havo "ptnies," sho may have thorn of her own raising and undor her own control. Let us havo everything "home made"? pauus included. The "inimy" need not feel encouraged by the small size of the present issue ot the News, ob we iutend to resume our normal proportions next week. Our stock of paper having run short and the late grains having prevented a new supply from, coming to hand in season, we have borrowed "rules," ''chases" and paper from our neighbor the Times and make our appearance a few iuchea smaller, rather tlutn deprive our friends of their usual gossip with, the "Nkws.'' The Times has our kindly thanks for e> its eourtesy. Court at Cainden?Charge or Judge Cooke. The Circuit Court convenod in this place on Monday. Judge Cooke, who presides, chained tho Grand Jury that i( was important that they inquire in whioh manner Couuty officers discharged their duties. That there wore many abuses by Triul Justieos ol their powers. That very often they wote far from noting as conservators o? the penco. Some of them fomcntod str.ifo, encouraged litiga tion?and even kept, constablos who wore sent out to stir up strife and got oases that they might got their fees. In some cases parties conviotod were sen tenced, to pay the costs or go to jail, and under such a sentenced they allowed ' tliem go at largo far a long time iinputi ishod. 1'hat this is in violation of tlie law. Tho object of tho law was to puu> ish offenders and not put money in tho .Justices' porkpts. That the finances of the ('(.only should be looked into That there was no excuse for the Couuty ; being in debt. If there werp debts out standing, there was somewhere a viola tion of the the !.--,y that ought to be in quired into.?That it waf tho duty of the Jury Commissioner to tnako up his list every January, and to s dect for that purpose the very liest men, who could be found, morally and intellectually, and if such wore not eclootcu asjurymcn the Commissioner had faile 1 to do his duly and bhou'.d be prosecuted. That they should visit the Jail, Poor Iloaso and other publio offices, aud sec that theso were properly conducted. That they ?re not to act on the suggestions of outsiders who wore unwilling to go before a Justice and l>dg? complaints of violation of the law. 'I hey were to pro sent anything within their knowledge. He required them to mako trwpscial re port ol* violations ol tho License law. That dram shops were a cur.-ro to the community. The suffering.women and children of the land required tint it should be looked into. The lawreptir ed retailors to keep beds ni>d "bedding, stablo room; provisions and forag.yan d if any did not, it was tho duty of tho Jury to report thorn. He called atten tion to the orditiaucc of the town re quiring seed cotton to be weighed at tho market Lcforc rcld, and tluat tho pc'lcr should report whore the oottoti was rais ed, and prohibiting its sale between sun set and *u arise, and pronounced the ordinance unconstitutional, or if not un constitutional, at least void, because in contravention of thespirit oritopublican - ism, and ho took occasion to re for to the law as it existed whon men who wore employed as laborers had to get a writ ten permit to sell produce. The Court then proceeded to tho buainoss of the term. There aro one or two p iuts io the Judge's charge upon which wo thiuk it j well to mnkc a comment. In relation J to the violation of the licensa law, while j wo concur iu the great evil of the li quor traffic, we think that theroare sev eral reasons why the retailors hero who had taken out the proper license should not be indicted. Tho Topper law re quiring oertain preparation) fVrf tavern keeping upon the part of thoso vending by retail, was allowed by co unt >u con sent to lall into discu-ic during tho wir, and even the officers of-t'ie law und the municipal authoritiessuppt sed ith id bo.m swept away, because its violation In I .>?? long witiked at.?N'o one knew any thill g to the contrary until its ro enactment in the revised statutes little more than a year ago, and even then the people wore generally ignorant of this miller until Judge Couke brought it to the notice of the Grand Jury on his Circuit. Agnin?nil taxes are rtquired by the constitution to bo equal, and risse?sjd up on an ad valorem prinoiplc. Honoo the late law requiriug business men gener ally to take ont liconsbs and pay lor them was admitted to bo uric institution.!,and the law was repealed by the Legislature. Cpon what principle can ii be icquirod of liquor dealers to piy tin licence, Fax? If they cannot require the tax, can the penalty be ouforcod ? If any saoh ca ses come up, we may look for sp^en il la tiou of the.-o ideas. So far a* the Seed CbrtOn Ordiiianco is concerned, we regret that the Jddgs had not reserved his opinion, until a case was presented. The ordinanco is a great protection to, the honest producer, 1 and puts a stop to the 'system ef rob bery from the Gold on the one hand, and robbing by falsu weights on the other, and could uot work injury to auy good man. I m o believe the ordinance to be a popular aud wise otic, and we hopo will be sustained by tho people aud the Courts.? Camden >fournal Validity OJf Coni'ki? kuate Tax Sai,ks?An Imi'oktan r Decision ? The Holly Springs (Miss.) Reporter of the 21st, gives the following synopsis of a decision delivered by Judge It. A. Hill, of the Federal Court, in a case involving tho validity uf tax titles sequin d in May, 1 S03. Tho Judge holds that the State Government of Mississippi from l.Snl to 1.803 (during tho war) was revolution ary, illegal aud unconstitutional. That any law pnsscd by tho State (jovertimeut during that period, imposing a tax on the people for the support of the Stato Government, was in aid of the rebellion, and necessarily unconstitutional and void. That all sales for taxes by tho Govern ment of Mississippi in 1803 and 1861, during the period of the late civil war, aro nidi and void. Under his dopision,/nil tax-sale* of land betwosn 1801 and JS0? are nullities, and will bo set aside. It unsettles tho titles of purchasers at tux sales to thousands, if not millioPA, of acres of land in Missis sippi.

M. Desire, * who is undoubtedly the finest billiard player on the continent of Burppa, has becu suurnering at Ostoud, and his performances at the billiard tuble have attracted no little attention there. He is a large, iat man, over fiftj y ears of age, with a somewhat bald head, and eyes framed in ourious liues, as if every muscle and ligament abuut them had boen for years inado te do duty in giving him the greatest exact ness of vision. I!e plays cijunlly well with the left hand as with the right, and the precision with which he strikes a ball from above, indicates that ho is a master of the cue. Among various fancy strokes which he executes ii to shoot all three balls in tmcce-Viou into the mouth of a basket, just large enough to receive a ball?the basket being hold six or seven inches above the cloth. Another is to place a hat iu the mi Idle of the table with a ball beside it, tho third bull being piuced against tho ctish in from which he plays, at his left hand; he than sends his bidl against that bebide tho hat, so as to make it go completely around the hat and come all the way back to strike that which is at his left hand against the cushion. When ?thc three bulls arc in a row?al most touching each other?the player's ball being at one end of the series mos t persons would dismiss tho idea of secur ing a carom as simply impossible. But it is a situation in which M.
