Among the private soldiers now
on duty at the Jackson Barracks,
below the city of New Orleans, is
one by the name of Schultz, who
served during the late war as Colonel
of au Illinois regiment, and upon
leaving the servico was brevetted to
the grudc of Brigadier. Finding,
no doubt, u charm iu military life,
he re-entered tho servico and enlisted
as a high private. But here's tho
rub. By an Act of Congress, all
ex-officers of thc United States oro
permitted upon military occasions
of importance to wear the insignia of
their brevet rank. Therefore, upon
the next parade, will be presented
tho curious anomaly of a Brigadier's
star carried on tho same shoulder
with a musket. Will tho inspected

ONE OP TWO THINGS.-"Wo will
remain under military rule." So says
somo Arkansas editor, and some
Louisianian echoes it But, says the
New Orleans Picayune, you cannot
and will not remain under military
rule; you will have a government
made for you, if you do not make it
for yousclf under the military bills.
If you vote down a convention, you
who thus vote will bo disfranchised
by a supplementary bill, and then
none but black and white radicals
will have any voice in tho Govern?
ment Nothing can be more wild
than the idea that there is any mode
of action or posture of inaction which
can avoid the issue. Organize or
emigrate! This is tho only alterna?
tive.
"The Gang System," as it is called,
is ' exciting considerable attention
just now in the English Parliament.
Not, however, because ia these gangs
depraved men and women are
worked in tho fields; but, because,
mingled with these adults aro multi?
tudes of little children, of both sexes,
as young as six or seven years of age,
who are kept steadily at work in the*
fields, from half-past 5 a. m. to 7 or 8
o'clock p. m., somo of them walking
five or six miles a day to und from
their work. And for this work they
receive from the farmer at the rate
of from one and a half to two pence
a doy-or from three to four cents.
Tho Dawson Journal relates a very
sad occurrence in Early County, in
which a man named Gay was acci?
dentally shot by a Mr. Webb, while

from opposite directions; Mr. Webb
mistook Mr. Gay's clothing through
the shrubbery, and excited by the
Srospect of a fino bani, fired, hitting

died, ofter lingering several days.
A friend of ours, says an exchange,
visiting a neighbor, found him dis?
abled from having a horse step upon
his foot. Hobbling out of tho stable,
the sufferer explained how it hap?
pened. "I was standing here," said
he, "aud the horse brought his foot
right down on mine." Our friend
looked at the injured member, which
was of the No. 14 pattern, and said,
very quietly, "Well, tho horse must
step somewhere."

- The Cotton Trade.
As a large portion of our readers
are more or less directly or indirect?
ly interested in the movements and
in the -Actuations of the price of
cotton, wo publish the following
artiole from the New York Mercantile
Journal:
That never failing source of
anxiety, tho condition of the cotton
market, has again assumed such an
aspect as to awaken much remark in
business circles hore and abroad.
Last autumn the prospect of con?
tinued peace in Europe, and the re?
conciliation of all jarring elements
in both North and South America,
led every one to believe that the ex?
pected crop of American cotton
would not be sufficient to meet the
demand. But the revival of general
war excitement beyond the Atlantic,
filling every avenue of trade with
alarm, and the comparative stagna?
tion of commercial currents here,
huve produced results very different
from what the most skillful and ex?
perienced dealer in the great staple
would have predicted four months
\ ago. All the usual tests of business
seem to have failed upon this occa?
sion, and things are in so abnormal a
state, that it is difflonlu to reach any
definite conclusion.
At home, the usual movement has
been greatly impeded by causes
which have been repeatedly set forth
' and are now familiar to. the merest
child. Great Britain, our chief cus?
tomer, has been hampered by the
effeot of lost year's crisis, which con?
tinues to be very severely felt, and
while on one hand the demand for
manufactured goods has diminished,
on the other, owing to less produc?
tion, tho raw material has not been
so much required. Still, exportation
to tho British ports is sufficiently
maintained to indicate that they will
absorb a larger share of the crop than ,
they did last year. The general
estimate of the stock on hand at'
Liverpool was from 70,000 to 75,000
bales, but tho regularly ascertained
?gares are as follows; for 1866,
there were 267,000 bales American;
171,000 East India and China, and
115,000Brazil,Egyptian, Arc., making
a total of 553,000; for 1867, there are
332,000 American; Ul.000 India and
China, and 171,000 Brazil, &c, or
644,000 in all, exhibiting nu in?
crease of 91,000 for tho year, or
from 15,000 to 20,000 more than was
supposed.
Tho best authorities think that j
this accumulation will grow until it
nearly equals, if it does not eventual?
ly exceed, comparatively, tho maxi?
mum of last year, and prove suffi?
cient to prevent any speculative
movement. When we uso tho guard?
ed ter ms employed above, our readers
will remember that it is feared that
the cotton crop for tho present year (
may be 500,000 bales less than tho
last. In addition to the disastrous .
influence of the recent inundations, .
many of the Southern planters have
become discouraged at tho prospects j
of the cotton business, and yield .
ready assent to the language of a j
portion of their press, seeking to in- .
duce their abandonment of tho old
staple and the subs; .tu ti on of cereal
orops in its stead. Tho continuance of ',
cotton tax is u powerful argument
on this side of the question. That ,
this burthen must be got rid of, or \
that our cotton production is in .
danger of serious decline, is only ,
too evident from the preference shown :
by European manufacturers for East '
India cotton, at the difference in ,
price of 2d. per pound.git is also clear (
that the Oriental growers aro making ,
handsome profits, while our own aro ,
reaping very, little, if any. Tho j
months of May and June will seo the ,
heavy arrivals at Livorpool from
India commence as those from the
United States fall off, and these will
swell the stock on hand to n point
that may thow all the control of
prices into the power of original
buyers.
Notwithstanding that the existing
aspect of the cotton trado is, as wo
have pictured it, by no means moro
than usually encouraging, so favora?
ble a turn may yet be given affairs
both here and in Europe, within the
next sixty days, as to yield us sub?
stance for moro cheering comment.
For tho moment, however, tho
promise is not dazzling, and tho ex?
pectations of those who hoped for
better things last Autumn, must BOO
their realization a little longer de?
ferred.
BBIEI-' BUT EMPHATIC.-Tho Now
York Journal of Commerce, represent?
ing tho great commercial interests of
that city, has tho following conciso
reference to Mr. Thaddeus Stevens:
"This man is a nuisance ?to tho
whole country, North -and South.
Such letters as that published this
morning are calculated to do lasting
mischief."

A man who was digging in a lot in
Patterson, N. J., brought to light
thirty-one copper plates, on varions
banks. Each plate was carefully
wrappod up in a soparato piece of
paper, and tho wholo was labelled
"1866." On nearly all of thom tho
amount of tho noto was loft blank,
HO that tho plato could bo used for
any denomination. They aro all on
State, and mostly on Now England
banks.

A Columbia correspondent of tho j
Now York j&cenina Post writes to tliat
paper:
"Tho Governor is to-day issuing a
circular, addressed to various public
men in the State, asking them to for?
ward to bis department tho names of
persons qualified to act as registers
aud managers of eleotions, and able
to take tho test oath. Gen. Sickles is
thus preparing to order tho registra?
tion at an early day.
? 4 * -?The convontion itself,
and possibly tho following Legisla?
ture, will bo a motley gathering, com
?ioscd chiefly of now men-young
awyers, individuals who have never
boforo held office, and those who can
control a largo ^egro vote. Tho
work to bo dono will probably bo
suggested by somo 'power behind tho
throne.'
"Our pooplo heartily favor tho
proposition to engraft a provision in
the now constitution that the colored
raco shall bo provided, by appropria?
tion, with freo schools, and thus bo
practically aided in their endeavors
to improve iuteUeotuaily. This pro?
vision, with the privilege of suffrage,
will constitute the main features of
the new instrument.
"We are, however, payiug moro
attention to the question 'what wo
shall eat,'than 'how we shall vote.'
Food is at present of infinitely moro
importance than politics. Our peoplo
are literally starving. Dress and
other externals aro no evidence of
tho want that exists in tho pantry.
Those who were onco wealthy oro to?
day thankful for a bushel of corn.
Fathers hear their little ones cry for
bread, and mothers havo grown palo
in giving tho last morsel to their
babes. Prido hides thousands of
these cases from tho public eye, but
there aro tens of thousands who aro
making appeals that would stir a
heart of stone. Even while writing
this lotter, a gentleman has called- at
my residence, at a late hour of tho
night, and hero is tho sum of his
story: A wifo and four small children;
no bread since morning-no hopo for
tho morrow. Tears flow down the
manly cheek, and tho lips quiver as
tho talo is told; and t li ere is a blush
in my own face as I dolo out tho few
necessities of lifo to ouo who but a
few months ago was able to dispenso
his own charity by hundreds. Tho
Governor states that one-fourth of
tho population have not tasted meat
for thirty days. Baltimore is about

THU PRESIDENT'S PnEst.:;r VIEWS
OF RECONSTRUCTION.-A Washington
despatch states tho following, which
we cnn only say is doubtful-very:
"Tho latest bulletin ns to Presi?
dential reconstruction views would
place Mr. Johnson in direct hostility
to tho enemies of reconstruction
under the Congressional programme.
It is stated to-day, by a distinguished
Senator, that Mr. Johnson sincerely
regrets that any of tho Southern
States havo beeu so unwiso as to at?
tempt to ros truing he enforcement of
tho reconstauetion acts by injunction.
Nay, moro, it is oven said that so de?
termined to carry out tho measures
tliat, even should injunctions issue
from tho Supremo Court, ho would
disregard them. That is certainly a
very remarkable exposition of Presi?
dential views on this important sub?
ject; but it is vouched for by a very
reliable Senator. The samo Senator
anticipates that, by tho meeting of I
Congress next December, tho South?
am States will bc ready for admis
?ion, and tho great problem of recon
jtrnction will be solved, or, at least,
srery near its solution."
Citors IN EDOEFIELD.-Thc Adver?
tiser has tho following hopeful para?
graph :
"Hope of something to eat! Prom
moro than ono section of our District

iccounts of tho wheat crop-or rather

PRESIDENT JOHNSON'S SOUTHERN

Washington letter says:
Strenuous efforts aro being made
by Northern Democratic politicians
to prevent President Johnson from
?oing to Raleigh, in May, to attend
tho ceremony of laying tho corner?
stone of a monument to his parents.
His acceptance of tho invitation, ten?
dered through Dr. Powell, tho State
Agent of North Carolina, was sent

likely that ho will bo deterred from

by Mr. Soward, who has decided lo

$1.60. This process is certainly

Reports from Arkansas aro to the
effect that while the recent floods in
that State were very disastrous, the

While it has been customary to plant
cotton in April, the best that was
raised last year was not planted until
May. Should tho summer prove a
dry one, tho crops will be better for
the overflow of this spring.

A WORD ABOUT THE "QUERN'S
DEUGHT."-Wo make tho broad asser?
tion that the medicino called tho "Queen's
Delight," as prepared by "Heinitsh," ac?
complishes more for suffering humanity
than any other remedy now in uso upon
tho face of tho earth. This fact, and thu
wonderful cures it performs, is corrobo?
rated by living witnesses. The theory in
this: No disease eau bo cured without
cleansing and purifying tho blood, which
is the fountain of life. This combination
of alteratives and dopuratives produces
just that chango in tho functions of organ*
as to mako a healthy action to take tho
place of disease. Wo hear of feverishness
fluttering about tho heart, flushes, faint?
ing headache, loss of appetite, low spirits,
weakness, nervousness and a general
good-for-nothingness-all owing to fever
and humor iu tho blood; and this produce*
another very common disease, called dys?
pepsia, because this condition of the blood
tends to disorganize the organs of diges?
tion. Qet a bottle and try it. To ho had
