Strange Advice. 1 i advised by some not .to plant cottow'because a heavy tax is now laid by .the General Government upon eveTy .pp44 made in the South. This is very much akin to that advice which prevailed to sonic extent before the war, ai to the pdrchasoof goods. Here is our advice, and to-give it is just as if we were t6 sit on the banks of the Niagara and advise the Waters of'that stream to tumble over the Falls. But here it is, and not to give it or rather to advise. against it, is repeating the command of the fool ish king, when seated in his throne, upo% the sea-beach, he commanded the tides to cease their flow when they reached hischali--of-state. To timi merchants-buy where you can bug the cheapest. To the planters-plant whatever will pay most. To everybody and his son-study your own interest. The South, * The destiny of the South is the fate of Fairfield District. While we have no desire to screen the worst as pects of the current of events as it flows by, it is advisable that a digni fled composure characterize us unaer the really ominous clowd now growing darker and darker above our-political horizon. - Let us push oi a; though the utmost prosper.ity awaited us. It is worse than childish to fold our arms - and 'growl over the rudeness "With wIich we have been treated, or put on ' ong face of mclaIcholy at what scems to be in store for us. Let us rather go on just as if there was not a Rotdical outside of the Chinese wall. Six years of hard times must not be lost as a school of experience.. lotios to Diabled Soldiers.

"I am required to furnish the Gov ernor of the State, at an early day, With a list of all.citizens of the Dis triot who were permanently disabled in the late war; either-in Confederate or State service.

THE NEXT CONGREss.-We ,hope the following predietions of the Cin cinnati Enquir& may prove correct; btit doubt it: "A gain of twenty-five members of Congress will make a majority in the next House against the Jacobins. They will be secured., Two will be gaine,d in Connecticut, seven. or cigiK in New York, one in New Jersey, six in Pennsylvania, two or three in Mary land, Ohio will increase ,ber repre sentation nine or ten.at lea'st, and In ditina will add three or four to the list. In Kentucy, wye sholl gain two -perhaps three. Illinois is booked for four or five, Vk iseonsin for two and Michigan for two. In Missouri, there will be a' gain of five or six. This makes forty-five, or twenty more' than. Is requfired. The House, under this computation, would stand: Preson anti-Jacobins, 45; to elect as gains, 45; Southeru cxclulcd members, 50. Total 140. "This would leave the Jacobins 101 ineibers, who wouild be in a glorious minority of .39. A n:ujority against then in the next House, according 'to the present aspect of affairs, is-a cer tainty." Tir COXsERvATJvHs AND TnE SOLD'IIERS HAVS A Row i Ommo-Tims LATTSR WHIP PED.-The Cincjnnati. Gazette, a Radical .pa. per, gives the following account. ofp& distur bance at Warren, In-Ohio, whit.e Mr. Villani digham was speaking there some days ngo: )Vhen the disturbance ceased, Vallandig ham said, much excited, "I have borne that. insult and outrage for twenty minutes; I don't Intend to shbmit to it any longer;" at the same time shaking his fist in the di rection of the hooting. "It' there are not enough democrats in the crowd," he conthi tied. "to take these men and clean them out, I will not speak anoihpr word." Cries of "move them," . "kick them out !" &c., arose on all sides, and a general rush was made for the disturbers ; and for a few min utes there was sonie shdrp fighting, ending in a complete route of the soldier boys, as they proved to be. Vallandigham resumed, saying lie had never but twice before advised his friends to resist molestation of their meetings. lie said if Deioerats disturbed Republican meetings they deserted to be. punished on the spot; and the rule ought to work both ways. The boys, it seems, had only retired for a council of war; for in fift.een minutes they returned and renewed1 their offensive de monstrations. *Again they wgre driven back, and again returned during which ma. noaurring many were knocked down and dragged out, in many cases thteir own mt.,n suffering as badly as the , soldiers, for no one could tell friAfd from foe. Only one pistol shot was fired, biy whom is not known. Fortunately no one Was killed. .HATS OFF I--We just now ~had a visit from five glorioi maimed veter ans, P. C. Seagle,.R. Gilbert4 Johji 8.
