Albert Sidney Johnson and LoveD H, Rousseau rest side by side in die New Orleans cemetery. ?-The temperanqe agitation in Sweden goes farther than it aoes in this country, by proposing a rigorous law to suppress the manufitetttre of intoxicating liquors. , Under the new ruling of the court at Topeka, Kansas, a lawyer is required to stand up while questioning a witness, and if too drunk to stand he cannot practice. The Newport (R I.) News says there is a family in that city in which the father is seventeen years of age, the mother sixteen, and the baby three weeks old. Toads are sold in Paris at the rate of fifty oents a dozen. This animal is used for the protection of vineyards and gardens from the ravages of insects that escape the pursuit of the birds. Congressman Bowen, of South Carolina, having returned to Washington from a day or two's hunting excursion, is ooafined to bis room with an attack of indigestion, supposed to he a mess of squirrels too much. A child was born in Estill county, Kentucky, recently, which from the waist up was a perfect pig, and in its krwer extremities was developed like a human being. ' It lived eight horns, and was seen by a great many people. Hundreds of planters in this and adjoining counties have now on hand from $1,000to $5,000, and feeling sort of good over it, but really not . knowing what to do with their money. .. , Rome {Go.) Courier, A firm in the city of New York, who have lost recently some $7,000 through the dishonesty of their book-keeper, have sued a party who recommended to them tne book-keeper as a man of good character, for the recovery of the money. A bill has been introduced into the South Carolina Legislature to incorporate a company to build a railroad from some point on the Wilmington and Manchester Railroad, between the Towns of Sumter and Manchester to Hamburg, or some point on the Savannah River in the direction of MiUen, Ga. A boy was sent by his mother to saw some stove-wood out of railroad-ties, doing out- doors shortly after, she found the youth sitting on a sawhorse with head down. The mother asked her hopeful son why he didn't keep at his work. The boy replied thus: "My dear mother, I find it hard, very hard, to sever old ties." One effect of die President's declaration of full amnesty will be to clear the docket of the criminal ooart in Knoxville, Tennessee, of about a thousand cases of treason. Indictments are pending against nearly every rebel who set foot in East Tennessee, from Jeff. Davis down to colonels of regiments who chanoed to pass through there. The erection of factories in the South will give employment to thousands of poor young whites, wno now do not earn their salt It will make produoers oat of this large class of non-producers, and thus increase oar material wealth. Farmers, take your money out of your grandmother's old stockings, and set the loom and die spindle in motion. The Georeia correspondent of the New York Times says: "The cotton crop is good; the relations between whites and negroes friendly, the former paying promptly on all their contracts for work, and the latter oemg satisfied with the results of their labor. 'In no part of the world,' says the correspondent, 'is the corresponding class of laborers as prosperous, in a material sense, as these negroes.'" The Nashville Banner publishes extracts from a letter from Amos A. Lawrence, of Massachusetts, in which that eminent New England manufacturer extols the advantages of the South, particularly Tennessee, for carrying on cotton manufacturing. Mr. Lawrence takes a practical view of the subject, and urges the working of smaller farms and the employment of the extra capital in manufacturing and mining. A correspondent of the Walhalla Courier says: "In 1866, I planted about three threequarters of an acre of poor new ground in tobacco, and realized one hundred andjforty dollars from the sales thoreof, besides using it two years myself. The same land would not yield more than ten bushels of corn. I took pains in the selection of my seed and the cultivation of my crop." Take note of this. Intelligence has reached Washington from an authentic source that the Spanish Government is favorably inclined to transfer the island of Cuba to the United States, and that the terms suggested are such as would probably meet with favor by our government and suoh of our people as approve of tne purchase or annexation of Cuba. The conditions upon which Spain would part with the island have not transpired. Secretary McCulloch, (says the Washington correspondent of the New York World,) wants $250,000 appropriated to pay the salaries of the Revenue Officers in the South who have served without other pay than pickings, owing to their inability to take the oath. It seems not enough men able to take the oath could be found sufficiently inteligent and honest to run the revenue, although no very high grade of integrity and learning has been exacted. The Nork York Sun says that Mr. Molti, after eight years' labor, has produced a locomotive which he believes will supercede the use of/team on rail roads, and relieve the public of the apprehension of disastrous explosions. The machine is set in motion j>7 levers acting on an eccentric, which moves the wheels of the engine. Balancing wieghts and springs seem to supply the motive power. The model, which is on exhibition in New York, cost the inventor $13,000. The agricultural report shows that last year there were produced in the United States 906,000,000 bushels of corn, and 2,380,00ft bales of cotton. The cotton is distributed as follows: North Caroliba, 140,000; South Carolina, 180,000; Georgia, 290,000; Florida, 45,000; Alabama, 285,000; Mississippi, 400,000; Louisiana, 250,0000; Texas, 260,000 ; Arkansas, 265,000, Tennessee, 200,000; other States, 75,000. The report says that the estimate is below rather than above the actual vield, and that it is not made for districts or ports, Dut for the States separately. The New York Commercial Advertiser is of the opinion that cotton bids fair to monftt his throne again. Assuming that the^crop will realize to the Sonth between $200,000,000 and $300,000,*i .1 1 it * *11 4. \ 1_ 1 uuu, it says mat mis sura win not nave to ue expended lor doctor's bills, incurred by sick and infirm negroes; or to maintain a large and floating population of slaves, in comparative idleness, until the planting season begins again. Huge store bills will not have to be met as in other days, when planters supported large bodies of slaves. The whole amount can be appropriated to the recuperation and regeneration of the region desolated by the iron heel of war, and in a very few years at the farthest, die South will be on her feet again.

One of the most remarkable snow storms ever seen in the South, fell in Mississippi and Alabama on Sunday night of last week. Cars which arrived at Memphis from Huntsville were still covered with snow, although the day seemed quite warm. In the region of Huntsville, Alabama, the snow fell to the depth of ten inches, and in some places, in the hollows and cuts of tne railroad, it nad drifted to the depth of three or four feet, and tlm passage of trains was greatly impeded. At llOIiy OpnDgH, bUUW i Oil uuuuaj uigui mice ur four inches deep, and Monday following rabbit -hunting prevailed throughout the borders of Marshall County.

Arkansas oontinues to be in a terribly unsettled condition. Governor Clayton has matters all his own way, tod has inaugurated a complete reign of terror throughout the State. Each recurring day brings a fresh tale of outrages committed by the ruffianly militia. The people are flying in all directions from the terrible infliction, ana the universal terror which prevails is said to be tnily heartrending. The ootton fields in many districts are totally deserted by the field hands, who have been seduced or intimidated into the ranks of Emperor Clayton's "grand army. " Miles upon miles of ootton remain unpicked in the fields?literally going to ruin, which, in New York to-day, would bring twenty-seven and a half cents per pound. A Memphis paper says that city is crowded with refugees, and every man that arrives can tell his particular tale of outrage and murder and rapine and plunders. This man Clayton and his brutal mnh mn?f hfl checked. or the Arkansas problem will be more difficult of4 eolation as the official career of the amiable Clayton is prolonged. YORRVILLE, S.

Hie first number of this new candidate for public patronage has been received. It presents a handsome appearance, and the editorial management evinces that this department is in charge of oompetont hands. The Reporter is under the oontrolofMaj. E. C. McLnre, and John A. Bradley, Jr., Esq., and is published at $3 per annum, m advance. We extend our best wishes for the success of the enterprise, and hope that it will reoeive a patronage far exceeding the expectation of all ooncerned. THE LAND WE LOVE. This capital Southern monthly for February has been received. The leading article is by General Jubal A. Early, on the popular errors in regard to the first battle of Manassas. "Concentrative Immigration" is a powerful article on a most important subject "Women and the lives of Women" is an eloquent rebuke of the misrepresentations of the sex, by a Missouri authoress of reputation. Besides this, there are historical and biographical sketches, ornithology, fiction and poetry. The "Land toe Love" is published at Charlotte, N. C., by Geo. D. H. Hill, at $3 per annum. We will take pleasure in receiving and forwarding subscriptions for it WHAT SHALL BE PLANTED T . We suppose that this question has been uppermost in the minds of many of our farmers for several weeks. Many have, doubtlessly, already solved the question, and all will have done so in a few more days. "But how?" is the question of the non-producer, and of those who are looking to the general and material interests of our people. Belonging to both these classes, we beg to say a word or two in the way of caution and suggestion. We have observed with pleasure and gratulation, the improved state of feeling existing among our people upon the incoming of the current year. A good crop of cotton, bringing a remarkable price, and a general sufficiency of corn and other provisions, have, in spite of our political difficulties, restored to our people a hopefulness and confidence to wtucn toey nave oeeu soraugero iui ocvtioi years. The depressing effects of pecuniary embarrassments are wearing away under the free influx of money; a new vitality seems springing up on every side; and the outlook upon the future is in every way promising. Now these results are evidently due, not to the high prioe of ootton alone, nor only to the increase of the provision supply, but to the two combined. The latter eusbles the former to set to work with the confidence of an assured support for the year, unhampered by the prospect of liens upon the future reward of his labor, and leaves him free to apply the proceeds of his Art ton to paying off his liabilities, and to replenishing his stock of animals and farm materials. Should our farmers lose sight of the foet that it is to the combination alluded to that these advantages are attributable, and allow themselves, under the stimulus of the present irregular prioe, to be seduced into planting largely of cotton to the neglect of oorn and provisions, we predict that they will fall into an error fraught with consequences probably ruinous to themselves, and surely injurious to the oountry at large. Individuals and nations are we&lthy only in their surplus possessions. The man who has an income of a thousand dollars, and has to bny a thousand dollars worth of necessaries a year, is no richer than he who, though he receives not a single dollar, yet has nothing to bny. The old maxim, that wealth comes from the soil, means nothing more nor less than that the prosperity of a people depends entirely upon the abundance and consequent cheapness of food. There is another point which more nearly affects the farmer himself, and which, by him, should not be forgotten. It is, that the price of cotton is enhanced first, and chiefly, by deficiency in the supply ; and secondly, to a slight extent and temporarily, by speculative eagerness! On the other hand, the price declines, first, from super-abundance o/ supply; secondly, from war and the interruptions of commerce; and thirdly, from speadative combinations. From this, it appears that the chances against a rise in price are as three to two. Will the farmer increase the odds by contributing to a * > /? i n tit. _ a l super-aDunuance 01 suppiy r vv e cannot see now such a course will redound to his benefit, especially when we reflect upon the uncertainty of the seasons, and the steady increase in the ravages of the worm. Our advice is, therefore, to plant all kinds of provisions you need?plant largely?so as to secure your independence another year, and make your cotton crop your surplus. MERE-M)ENTION.

' n Our Former Judges. * The Union Times furnishes the following 0 interesting paragraph in reference to our former a judges: ^ *' g "Chief Justice Dunkin has entered into copart- a ncrship with his son, A. H. Dunkin, Esq., at P Charleston. Judge Wardlaw, it is said, will open s. a law office at Edgefield. Judge Inglis practices 4 law at Baltimore. Chancellor Carroll resides at Columbia, and has resumed his practice at that 4 Jilace, witn the Messrs. Melton; he has also re- 1 ormed the old law firm of Carroll & Bacon, at i Edgefield. Chancellor Lesesne has a law office in ' Charleston, with C. R. Miles, Esq. Judge Glov- 1 er has formed a copartnership with his son, Mortimer Glover, Esq., at Orangeburg; and Judge 0 Munro with his son, William Slunro, at this place. 4 Judge Dawkins has also resumed the practice of ? law at Union; and Judge Aldrich, we believe, at 11 Barnwell C. H. Judge Moses is Chief Justice of * the Supreme Court Of Chancellor Jehnson, we ? , have heard nothing; but presume that he, too, has returned to the Bar." ' ? Bacon and Corn.?The Newberry Ilerald vj 1 says: Cotton is a royal article in the world's com merce; at present, it commands a royal price. We 8 . deem it proper to throw out a suggestion upon the a . next crop. From all we can learn, more than ever, , our planters have in view to plant cotton almost ' exclusively. It is a dangerous experiment Every planter shoulcL at least, have in view to raise his ^ own breadstutfs. The scarcity of corn and baoon r i enhances the price of labor. Labor, for the last 4 , i j j , , ? _ T twelve monms, uus auvauceu ai jeast tweniy-nve ? [ per cent in value. The ne^ro is disappearing, nobody knows where, and white labor does not, as vet, take his place. The white man will pause 7 before he oomes, as a laborer, to a country not well . supplied with beef and grain. Even at the pres ent price of negro labor, the white laborer would L not be willing to compete. If labor is to continue scaroe, and tne prioe of labor to advance steadily ' bv the increase of surface in cotton, it is doubtful if the planter will be remunerated sufficiently by the probable advance in the price of the great sta3 pie. In all probability, the price of the bulk of i the present crop is the maximum that the staple I will attain. Tne single article of baobn how ex, hausts, to a large extent, the wages of the colored laborer and the profits of the employer. : These matters should be well consideied in con) nection with pitching another crop. A failure of - a cotton crop, with no corn and bacon, would en ail ruin and starvation upon the majority of the U lopulation. Let us have bacon and corn. tl * cl HEW ADVERTISEMENTS. A.

This matter should be settled at once y you, for it is now time to plant In our lati- C) ude we need three varieties of the Pea. That is Q' nough for any family. It will keep them in peas ix to eight weeks. First, get the earliest to be jund. Bnist's or Landreth's "Extra Early" are ood and reliable.

His crop was the face e ever raised. The caterpillar came up to th elds of all his next door neighbors, but they di ot cross his fences. The reason of this was, h sued the sternest orders that not a single bird ccept the jay, should be killed upon his plants on, under any pretext whatever. He aBdwe ttle willow groves to grow in his fields, and t lem he sent a Back of oats evenr morning, whici ere scattered upon the ground. The birds fe pon the oats and: swarmed in thousands aroun is fields. They exterminated the cotton fly.
