COURT WEEK. The present is what custom requires us to call the Spring Term of the Court of Common Pleas, for York District." The Judge and Jurors, with a sprinkling of the bar, both military and civil, met at 10 o'clock, on Monday. The panel was called, and his Honor, Judge Withers proceeded to charge the Grand Jdry in a manner at once dignified and opportune to the occasion; but at other times we would be at a loss to account for the range his honor took, from ."grave to gay, from lively to serene." The address, for such it was, was listened to with interest and general commendation by the good people, who are always, glad to welcome Judge Withers to his native District. Our friend of the Mereury might have profited by a des- j patch from "Yorkshire." The Court adjourned at 1 o'clock, to October next. "ET TT7 BRUTE."

For llie Ywrkvtllc Enquirer. THE BETHESDA PLANTERS AND THE CROPS. At a preliminary meeting of the community of Bethesda, the following gentlemen were appointed a Committee to prepare a paper setting forth the views of the planters, upon the crops about to be planted, viz : R. S. Hope, F. A. Erwin, J. S. Bratton, J. M. Moore, and S. G. Poag. At a subsequent meeting, held .March 4th, the following preamble and resolutions were reported and unanimously adopted: Believing it to be the patriotic duty I of every citizen to rally to the aid of i our country, in the crisis now upon her,! and knowing the dependance of ourj country's cause upon the wise conduct! of the farming interests. We, the planters of Bethesda, deem it proper to express our opinions upon the character of the crops soon to be planted, I hoping that otherB may also be induced to co-operate in endeavoring to furnish the requisite material resources to the country. During the prevalence of the present war, an abundance of provisions is a pressing necessity. Under a scarcity of these, neiiher can our noble soldiers be well fed in the camp, without overwhelming the Government with debt, nor can thousands of families be saved from distress and pinching want. To any reflecting mind it is evident, that if the present crops are planted in - ? in the usual proportions, tne neeaea supply of provisions cannot be furnished : 1. For the amount of provisions to be consumed by the army, will far exceed what would be necessary to keep the same number of men and horses, if at home. 2. From every portion of the country a considerable number of servants and white actual laborers, are connected with the army, and so, diminish the i workers on the farms. And also, in 1 extensive sections in several grain ' growing States, farming operations are . now, either totally suspended, or great- | ly crippled, and hence these can con- < tribute but little for the supply of the ] country'. To subtract the quantity of ; provisions that is made each year by , those who are removed from the farm i tn thfi arrnv. and that which is annual ly furnished by the sections alluded to, must create an alarming deficiency in means of supply. 1 3. Other portions of the country, not disturbed by the presence or proximity of the enemy, either have not lands well adapted to the production of arti- i cles of food, or have not the facilities i for transportation, and hence can do { little or nothing for the general benefit. 1 4. On the coasts not molested by { hostile fleets, and in regions where the i fit soil exists, rice and sugar cane should ^ be planted in large quantities, and so, ^ these regions will be dependent for j grain on others. r 5. Despite all legislation against it, i immense portions of grain have been, * 5nd will be consumed in the distillation of liquors. A \T r _ . _ 1 __ x 1_. . o. i>o ioreign supply, iu maae up j the grain demanded, is available to the Confederate Government. The United ^ States, accustomed to furnish so much, ^ even if willing, must not be allowed to p bring us any. Other foreign nations r can do nothing, for they can scarcely 8 provision their own population, and be- ? sides, our commerce is at present too p restricted to give hope of relief, in this respect, from abroad. Thus our multi- t plied demands for provisions, and our ^ limited sources of supply, show it to be | an absolute necessity that, where it is t possible, a largely increased grain crop s be planted this year. f The same fact is forced upon us, by a ^ view of items relating to cotton. There ^ is now on hand, in the South, a full crop of cotton and one-third more, c whioh must, remain unsold an unknown ^ time. To add much to the stock on Q hand, will make it certain that, let it be t sold when it will, the price will, shortly i] after the opening of the market, be ii sunk uncommonly low. And, in addi- \ tion to all losses to which cotton stored up is incident, it is very doubtful when j it can be sold at anything like a good e price, whereas grain will, for years to r come, find a safe, certain, liberal ancL,a cash market. And further, our selfrespect, our patriotism, as well as our b interest and national honor, dictate that o the cotton planters should not allow other nations, who have suffered us to * v be imposed upon by an illegal and unjust and inefficient "blockade," to have d the benefit of two or more crops at the price of what one should bring; and to 1 effect this, we must prevent too large [ an accumulation of stock on hand. But let the issue of the sale of cotton be c what it may, it is still self-evident, that a by the end of this year, grain and pro- * visions of all kinds, must be enormous- c ly high, and this should urge every man c who loves his country, and would keep c it from being impoverished, to raise the c largest possible amount of cereals for u i supply of food to man and beast. In view of all these facts, be it Resolved, 'J I. That we, the planters of Bethesda, | declare it, in our judgment, to be not ^ expedient, in existing circumstances, to plant more than one-lialf of our usual i cotton crop, but will devote our lands 3 chiefly to the production of grain. , II. That we respectfully commend A this policy to neighboring communities, and suggest that they call a meeting or 1 meetings, to consult on the subject and take some steps to secure unity of action. ^ III. That in order to rebuke and t check the spirit of speculation and ex- 1 tortion, now spreading privations j1 throughout the country, by raising the! j necessaries ot me to almost taminei prices, and which is sucking the life ^ blood of our Government, we shall re- j fuse to sell our grain to speculators. A IV. That we raise our solemn pro- t test against all distilleries, and do de- * nounce as unpatriotic and mercenary j J and disreputable their owners, who, inj ( this the day of our country's calamity,! t are hoarding up and consuming so much i' grain, in making that which only deluges our land with evils, and destroys more soldiers than the hostile army. We rejoice that the Governor and Council of our State have adopted measures for the suppression of this nefarious and mischievous business, and we hope that effective Legislation may be secured everywhere, and that the moral sentiment of every community may act upon the subject, until our country shall be relieved of these nuisances and moral pests, in the form of distilleries. V. That we forward a copy of this paper of ours, to the Yorkvtlle Enquirer, with a request for its publication. SAM'L RAINfcY, Chairman. F. A. Erwin, Secretary.

Norfolk, March 8.?Our friend (the Merimac) grounded at half-past 11a. m. at our barricades, and cleared the obstructions at 12. 15 p. m. At 1 p. m., she passed Craney Island in sight of the enemv. At 2 d. m? she sailed in between two frigates blockading the river and received their broadsides.? She immediately sunk one of them and disabled th^ other, so that she had to run ashore to keep from sinking. The Merrimac then commenced bombarding the fort at Newport News, and at halfpast 4 o'clock was furiously bombarding it, assisted by two of our gun-boats. The enemy's gun-boats ran up from Fortress Monroe to aid Newport News, but they kept at a respectful distance. We believe, but do not certainly know, that General Magruder is attacking Newport News in the rear. Norfolk, March 8?7 p. m.?The Sght is still raging furiously. The frigite Congress hoisted two white flags at 5 p. m. The Minnesota, when coming from Fortress Monroe, at 4 p. m., to ittack the Merrimac, ran aground and s still in that condition, and the Mer imac has ever since been pouring shot irirt eholl infn Lev?t.ho MinnAnntii. fiirliL ng manfully. We think theMerrimac vill bag her too. Three Confederate war steamers came rom up the James River and are aongside the Merrimac. The Merrinack's smoke-stack and flag-staff are intouched, and she appears to be unmrt. Gen. Huger thinks Gen. Magruder is lot attacking Newport News to day. An enemy's schooner, a prize, has ust come up to our wharf. Half-Past 9 P. M.?No messenger tas arrived from the Roads since my ast. The firing ceased at half-past 7. fhe Congress was set on fire at half>ast 8, and now, half past 9, she is tearly destroyed. It is supposed that he was ignited by the Confederates to ;ive light for the Merrimac to attack he Minnesota, as very heavy firing has >een going on for the past hour.

Norfolk, March 10.?A messenger ust in from Sewell's Point reports the Minnesota at Fortress Monroe, but >adly crippled. It was one of their ;un-boats which was burnt. Lieut.

She lay for an hour vithm two hundred and forty yards of he fort. Additional Particulars of the Newport News Fight. Richmond, March 10.?The Norfolk Day Book, of this morning, says that he Virginia sunk the Cumberland after ifteen minutes' fight. The Virginia! an in point blank range and fired her; >ow gun several times, and struck the Cumberland with her ram, causing her j o reel. She then careened and sunk.! rhe officers and crew, escaped in boats. I Many were captured by the Confederates, but numbers were drowned; three wounded men sunk with the Cumberland. The Congress was next attacked, and resisted gallantly, but was forced to run ashore and hoist the white flag. Her crew were taken off by the j Confederate gun-boats. The Yankees fired on us with Minnie muskets while < lending assistance to the Congress.? ' One shot dismounted two guns, killed i sixteen men and tore the Congress to nieces. While the Virginia enlaced I ' O O o the batteries at Newport News, the : Minnesota came up. She engaged our Sewell Point Batteries and got aground. She was then attacked by the Confed- 1 erate steamers Jamestown and Patrick 1 Henry with great fierceness, and was 1 considerably damaged. The Federal ' steamer St. Lawrence came to the as- 1 sistance of the Minnesota, and she also 1 got aground. The Congress was set ^ on fire by our vessels Saturday night. 1 About midnight, her magazines exploded. Federal tugs and steamers went i to the assistance of the Minnesota and the St. Lawrence, but could not haul ( them off" the bar. The enemy's loss in killed and wounded was very great.? j Our loss was nine killed and twelve { wounded. Twenty-three Yankee prisoners were brought to Norfolk on Sat- ^ urday night. The Virginia had two men killed and five wounded. A small Yankee schooner was captured and sent 1 to Norfolk. Two others were also cap- 1 tured. i The Ericson engaged the Virginia at 1 the distance of thirty or forty yards. < Thte Virginia ran aground, and the Eric- 1 son took advantage of this and poured 1 shot after shot,, with no effect. After getting off, the Virginia ran into the Erricson with her prow, and she fled. ' Many of the enemy's gun boats were < sunk and disabled. The Minnesota y was completely riddled and the St. t Lawrence disabled. The enemy's loss ! on both days is estimated at from six to twelve hundred. Out of 500 on tluy Cumberland, about 100 escaped. Afll the batteries on Newport News weiS^ jj silenced except one. ~ Later "from the Rio Grande.-\- ' The British and French Consuls Pro- * test against the Blockade oj the River. ?We had a call, yesterday morning, . from Mr. Bernard Kowalski, merchant at Brownsville, from whom we derived t the following intelligence : The Brit- * ish and French Consuls at Matamoras y had presented to the captain of the U- a nited States frigate Portsmouth a for- a mal protest against the blockade of the ?p Rio Grande. On the 6th, the British ti Consul despatched a schooner to Tarn- p pico, with orders for an English war ? vessel to hasten to the Rio Grande and J prevent even to the extent of hostili ties, the blockade of the river by the a Portsmouth. Mr. K. says that the *flnnanl's nrdars were that, the English vessel should engage the Portsmouth immediately upon her arrival. The French Consul had also sent a request to Tampico for the forwarding of a French war ship. ? A large number of vessels arrived r from Europe, are in durance under the ^ guns of the Portsmouth. The captain ? of the latter will not allow these vessels to discharge their cargoes, unless it is guaranteed that the goods will be [J delivered in Matamoras, and not at ? Brownsville. Now this condition, even ? if legal, is impossible, as the steamboats plying on the Rio Grande are all owned in Brownsville, and as such, being the property of rebels, they dare not un- ~ dertake to lighten these European vessels at the mouth of the river, for in { doing so they would run the risk of being seized by the United States frigate, -j Ttino if will V?o coon fliaf fTio rlnmacros I xuuj av imii wv gvvu kuuv viiy wuiuw^vm for the detention of these neutral mer- n chantmen must amount to a very round sum against the by-no-means plethoric m purse of Old Abe. to The Portsmouth continues to fly the French flag as a decoy to all traders ?i approaching her station. She frequent ly takes a short cruise under the same re colors, but when no merchantman is in M Bight she hoists the old "grid-iron." From this intelligence we expect lively times at the mouth of the Rio Grande 1 ere long.?New Orleans Picayune. jf Additional Troops Called For. t Richmond, March 9.?President Davis has called on Virginia for forty r thousand additional troops. Governor Letcher has issued his proclamation, jjf calling on Virginians to rally and vol- b unteer at once, and not wait for the 5! draft law. The levy are ordered to has- y ten by express to their rendezvous.? ? Every man is appealed to to take his own or borrow his neighbor's firearm, and hasten to Winchester. Manassas. Fredericksburg, Norfolk, and Williamsburg. r The Number of Prisoners.?The Chicago Tribune says the number of in Confederate prisoners already arrived in that city from Fort Donelson is va- c riouslv estimated. The editor has con- ^ versed with the officers at Camp Doug- pi las, and thinks that there cannot be more than six thousand. The regiments, with two exceptions, are of small numbers; numbers were killed, and others escaped, so that there has been ai an over-estimate. About six thousand t is the actual number of prisoners now tii in camp. Jo More of the Fight. g Norfolk, March 9.?The firing was re-commenced in the roads at half past eight o'clock and continued four hours. _ The Minnesota was on fire, but it was extinguished. She is aground and bad- -i ly damaged. Twenty-three prisoners were brought r to this city last night. d< A shot passed through the boiler of tn the Patrick Eenry.

Now, then, under this requisition, I do hereby call for en to come foiward as volunteers, individually and scpately, or by companies now formed of not less than slityrht aggregate to each company, and to be organized aoirdlng to the principles laid down In the resolutions of the juncll hereunto attached. Tenders of service will be ade in writing to the AdjutantCeneral's office, in ColumThose volunteering as Individuals will be formed Into mpanies as soon aspossible, the officers to be appointed ' the Governor and Council. The Secretary of War, In his requisition, says that "each Idler will receive a bounty of fifty dollars when the Regient or Company it mustered into service, and will be alwed transportation from his home to the place of rendezus," and will also be clothed, supplied and armed at the iwnse 01 uic c^onieaeraic duu<k< nu iu<tn uwir iu uiu; 111 be allowed to enter any other sompany now in service r any term lest than the war, until this requisition for e Infantry regiments be complied with. If these tgiroenls are not formed by volunteer* by the 20th inint, then a conscription will be made to meet the balance the requisition, upon principles which will be annound In gimeral orders of detail, Issued by the Chief of the illtary Department, in conjunction with the Adjutant and spec tor General? I need not make an appeal to the people to meet this rcilsltlon. The country la in danger. We have met with rerses. There i* no alternative. We must fight for our imes and our altars. No people are fit to be free unless ey are willing to march through the perils of severe court and battle. This State was the cradle of the revolum. Let her sons now hang out their battle flags from cry home. Let us make the State one entrenched camp, d, if we are to fall, let every freeman find, at least, a solrr's grave. Let all come to their country's coll. If we i brave and true, there is no permanent danger. Wltht difficulty and peril, Independence itself would not be lued. No people were ever free without dangers and ugglea. Our true safety is to meet every danger with >re indomitable courage, and urrlse higher with any and ery disaster. In the war of our first revolution, South irolina passed through far more desperate trials. Under s guide of the God of Battles, we must rise to our destiny, d from our very defeats gainer renewed strength In the fence of our firesides and of our homes, yen under my hand and the seal of the State, at Columbia, this the 5th day of March, in the year of our Lord alnno thftMaonrl silffht hilnrlroil nnH liyfv.tWG. .ind of thfc independence ofthe State of South Carolina the elghtysixth.
