Influence of Female Society.
It it better for you to pMa ao evening '
now and then in a lady's drawing (
room, even though the conversation be '
alow, and you know the girl's aong by 1
heait, tbaa to a club, tavern, or pit of a 1
theatre. '
AH amuaeraenta of youth, to which '
virtuous women are not admitted?rely '
on it?are deleterioua'iu their nature.
All men who avoid female society, '
have dull preceptions, and are stupid or
have groea tastes, and revolt against '
what is pure. Your club swaggerers, !
who are sucking the butts of billiard
cuea all night, call female society insipid.
Poetry is insipid to a yokel;
beauty has no oharm for e blind men; <
music doea not please a poor beast who J
does not know one tune from another; 1
and as a poor epieure is hardly ever
tired of water sauchy and brown bread
and butter, I protest that I can sit for a
whole niffht talkincr tO a IV*II rAUIllAtAfl I
nd kindly woman, about bar girl's
coming out, bar boy at oollege, and like
the evening'? entertain meet.
One of tka great benefits a man derives
from woman's society, is that be is
bound to be respectful to tbem. The
habit is of great good to your moral
man, depend upon it. Our education
makes most of us selfish men of the
wortd. We fight for oureelvea, we push
for ourselves, we yawn for ourselves, we
tight our pipes and say we won't go
6*ui; we prefer ourselves and our ease
and the greatest good that comes to
man from woman's society, is that he
baa somebody to think for himself
somebody to whom be is bound to be
constantly attentive and respectfol.

P9BSii tbi# question which Is no*
PWing for adjudication l?efoie our
LTgbeet legal tribunal; the Charleston
Courier presents a sUlemeCt of the
principle# of three ca#erf, all deckled in
Cenj?#\lvaoie, which are cited in the
American Law Review, for ^Vpril, 1807. j
fn one of these, certain premise# were (
leased, the reel pefng payable tn lawlul
silver money of the United States," eacA
dollar weighing tc/cmeenpennyweights
and six grain*, At leAst. Notwjth-tand
ing tbe words used, it w?? held that tho
rent rouid be discharged in legal tan
der note*. That the covenant to pay
rent M in lawful silver money," was
merely descriptive of '* lawful money "
iu existence wben the eontruet was enteral]
into, and which tbe Government
might change.
In the two Other cases it wan held
that where the contract was payable iu
soin aa a Commodity, that United States
IYeaaury -notes could not be a legal tender.
The word commodity being distinguished
from thai of money. Thus
in the oase of Mather against Kirkie,
the landlord leased his land for a certain
amount payable in 44 Spanish
piices of eight. Tho Court decided
lhat here tbe gold was dealt' with as a
:ommodiiy, and that the tenement was
l>ound to pay as much lawful money as
would equal it in value, or in other
words, as much as would purchase It.
So, loo. in a very recent cause, the
rent was payable in Spanish silver mill
?d dollars of a certain weight. Here
the words 44 lawful money." were not
ised. The judgment rendered was that
he tenant was not discharged bv an
>flVr to pRT in lawful money, that in.
United "States Treasury no'.ee of like
unouut, but must oitber make payment
n the gold itself or in its equivalent at
he time the rent fell due.

Jen. Tope and Got- Jenkins of Georgia
At'QL'flTA, April 24.
A correspondence has taken place beween
Gen. Pope and Gov..Jenkins, of
bis Slate. Pope asked Jenk'ns if he
jad seen General Orders No. 3, issued
April 10, in reference to organizing
States under ?ho Military Rill, before
ho latter issued his address to the people
of Georgia, advising non-action un.il
the question was decided by the Supreme
Court I Gov. Jenkins replied
hRt be had not supposed that he Was
zeroising such freedom in expression of
>pinlon relative to public matters as
eeins still accorded citizens of the Republic,
not imagining that it bad been
ibrulged by the accident of the speaker
ar writer holding office, (n future he
should do and say what he believed
was required by duty and the oath of
cilice. This, he honed, would not in
volve either conflict or controversy be*
Lweon them in the execution of their respective
trusts, atrbe thinks it need not.
Everything of tbij character he desires
to avoid.The
General says, in reply, that Gov.
Jenkins' explanation is satisfactory, so
far as the post is concerned, but being
sent to execute the laws of Congress, he
will carry out the provisions of the Military
Bill, which recognizes the existing
Slate governments as merely provisional,
and are permitted to continue for the
administration of the State laws during
the progress of reconstruction Had
Congress contemplated opposition from
the civil authorities, it would have legis
lated the present Slate governments out
of existence. He (General Pope) re
a aires that the civil machinery of the
tate be not perverted to frustrate the
execution of the laws. The civil oflicers
are required not to use their influence
to prevent the people from submitting
to and carrying out the laws of Con
"[rest. After discussing the matter fill
ly, Gen. Pope says thfcl he will be compelled
to remove all oflloers while in
office who use their influence to prevent
the execution of the laws, but hopes
that harmonious relations may continue

Virginia Lands?NoimiKttN Pkr
on asks.?The Richmond Dispatch
learns from otto of the ptiueipal real estate
fbins in that city, that, within the
past few weeks, many applicants from
the North have called on them, to inquire
about lAnds, and frotu the general
tenor of the inquiries, they seemed real
ly anxious to make investments and settlo
in that Slate. They seem reluctant
to invest at this time, doubtless because
they fear that political matters may not
be speedily settled. The Dispatch
says:
On this subject, no one desiring to
remuve to Virginia need haveanv fears.
Our people will unquestionably take
action under the Sherman law, and do
whatever lies in their power to muse
the settlement of the political affairs of
the Stato, and secure the rostorathn of
Virginia to her place within the Union.
Ko other Slate can oiler greater inducements
to thrifty farmers. Our lands lie
well, are abundantly watered, and susceptible
of the highest state of improve
roenl. Our climate is genial, and overy
region of the State healthful. East
of us, rivers, tho best of the highways
> of trade aud commerce, are numerous ;
whilst, west of us, railroads and tho
! canal penotrato eveiy section. Kvery
denomination of Christians has ? foothold
here, and churches are found in
every neighborhood. The prices asked
for our lands are remarkably low?lower,
indeed, than those asked for lands
in many less favored parts of the country.
We enn assure all persons desiring
to settle in Virginia that tlrey will be
warmly welcomed, and will meet with
no other treatment than such as has
made the Old Dominion proverbial for
hospitality.

Cf.oriiF.8 on Fikk?What to Do.? ]
There are many lives lost annually especially
of females by tbe accidental ig <
rdtion of their clothing. When Hn occurrence
of this kind tskes place it re- ,
quirts cool and prompt action to render
assistance effectual. Hesitation, brief
though it be, generally renders aubse*
queni efforts at relief unavailing. The
Scientific American suggsls that when
the clothes lake fire, a woolen garment
should be immediately clasped around
the person, and the body bo placed in
a recumbent position, as the clothing
will burn less rapidly than when erect
attitude is maintained. The burning
clothing must be removed as soon as
possible and tho burned portions of the
fle?h be sprinkled with flour which will
heal the wounds speedily, unless very
deep. In the latter event, other applications
may become necessary, but as a
first one, this will be found of excellent
service.
A Quekr Will.?The Nashville
Gazelle has heatd of a rather queer will
which was admitted to probate in one
of the counties bordeiing on the upper
Cumberland. A wealthy old citizen
had two sons, one of whom was in the
Federal army and the other in the rebel
ranks. During the early part of the
war the old gentleman was taken suddenly
ill, and wishing to divide his properly
equally between bis two sons, bequeathed
to Henry (the Federal soldier)
all his slave properly embracing about
fifty negroes, and to ThomsS (the boy
in gray) bis landed estate, lie died, and
thus the will stands. Both brothers
lived to return from the war and the
gallant soldier of the " lost c- ?" being
perfectly satisfied that slar was no
moro, generously divided the lands with
his brother, Hnd both are living happily
together, and Are bitterly opposed to
the radical programme.
