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.

to trie advertisements ior recruns in

company, is also engaged in the same j
business?as under a new regulation, J'
the companies in service are to he recruited
to the number of 125, rank and
file. The recruits are required for the
war, as no others will be received hereafter,
and the 20th being the last day |
for voluntary enlistment, it behooves all
liable to a draft, to "assume a virtue,
if they have it not," and come forward
as men should do, when their country
requires, instead of remaining at home,
mountebank-like, to batten on the life
blood of the community they disgrace.
Come forward gentlemen, in person or
by companies, fill up first the ranks of
the gallant men on our coast, and do
not let the King's Mountain District
be among the laggards in war, as she
has been among the first in the arts of
peace.

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.

NEWPORT NEWS BOMBARDED I
Terrible Execution by One Vessel!
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.

Congress on Shore. The Federal gun>oats
made an attack on Sewell's Point
rithout effect. Our musquito fleet is

Norfolk, March 9.?The firing
eased at 12 m., and the Ericsson batery
retreated to Fortress Monroe.
At 1J o'clock to-day our whole fleet
ame into our harbor and went up to
he navy-yard. The Merrimac is leakng,
and is just now (6. p. m.) going
nto dock. She is otherwise but slighty
injured. All our other ships susained
but slight injury.

linor were wounded through the treachry
of the enemy, who fired on the Mer- 1

pproached to take possesion, after the
rhite flag was hoisted. Captain Buch- '
nan was shot in the thigh with a minie .
all. He stood on top of the Merrimac,
utside, during the whole action.
The enemy are now busy lightening ,
he Minnesota, and it is feared they
rill get her off to-night. ,
We have nothing yet from Magru- ,

She is not leaking badly, and until

lays.
rhe Guns at Newport News Silenced
and the Garrison Evacuated.
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. Taylor died of his wounds this
norning. He was treacherously shot
yesterday by the enemy under a white
latr. Cant. Buchanan and Lieutenant
?o - I
Elinor, who were both shot under a
vhite flag, are improving.
Nothing from Magruder. on Saturlay.
Every gun at Newport News, except
me, was silenced by the Merrimac, and
;he entire garrison evacuated. The
jxcepted gun would also have been
mocked over, but the Merrimac could
lot get aim on it. 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

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

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<

HEADQUARTERS, March 5, 1662.
PHE President of the Confederate
1_ States, through the Secretary of War, has called on
e, as Governor of South Carolina, to furnish five more
elments for and during the war.
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,

As many of our twelve month volunteers may be necessitated
to return home, after having borne the "heat and
