CONFEDERATE COURT AT GoLDsBoRO'.

At the session o. the Confederate District
Court held recently for the District Of North Caro-
lima at Godsboro, Judge Biggs presiding, the Judge
called the attention Of the District Attorney, Geo.
V. Strong, Esq to the opinion Of Judge Magrath of
South Carolina, affirming the jurisdiction Of the
District Court of South Carolina q vessel csp
tured on the high seas by privateer owned in
Charleston, but sailing under letters Of marque from
the Confederate States, and brought into the port
of Beaufort in this State we believe and now lying
there.
We copy the following elaborate argument Of Mr..
Strong submitted by him to the Court in which he
joins issue with Judge Magrath and SO far as we caI
Judge from mere glance at the subject, ably sus-
tains his position. Judge Bggs holds the question
under Amusement Our legal readers will no doubt
read it with interest:
ARGUMENT OF Mr.. STRONG.
The Dixie, private armed vessel, acting under
Letters of Marque and Reprisal from the Confed-
crate States Of America captures on the high seas
a barque, called the Glen, the property of Alien
Enemies and brings her into the port of Beaufort
in the District Of North. Carolina. While lying in
said port libel is filed against her in the name of
the owners and crew of said prvateer Dixie in the
District Court, for the District of South Carolina
Is the case properly constituted in that Court !?
Judge Magrsth, the presiding officer Of the said
Court, has published an elaborate opinion, maintain.
ing the affirmative I am constrained to differ from
him in toto COLO.
The act Of Congress, No. LOG, approved 9Th May,
1851, acts of second session, page o. section y de.
clares that in the case Of all captured vessels &C.,
which shall be brought within the jurisdiction of
the Confederate States, the District Court of the
Confederate States shall have exclusive original
jurisdiction thereof in eioil causes Of Admirably
and Maritime Jurisdiction. 49,. =.
1t will be observed that distinction is here taken
between prize causes and civil causes of Admiralty
jurisdicron The question then presents ITSELF what
il the jurisdiction Of said Court in cipil causes of
Admiralty jurisdiction, thus understood? The an.
swer is found in the act Of the Confederate Congress-
No. 49, approved 9th March, 1861, (acts Of the LIST
session, page 122 sec. 29,) which declares, that

Legislature Lies over one Gay.
Mr. Carson, resolution to raise committee con-
sstng of one delegate from each Congressional dis
trict to enquire into and pass upon all army con-
tracts made since the LIST of April last
Mr. Rufiin, did not think that this was the most
feasible plan for attaining the object desired 1t
would be very onerous to members OF the Conven-
ton. He thought the Convention should organize
at once auditors Office, or offices in the several
departments.
Mr. Satterthwaite, said the committee would be
f, of inquiry merely, and its appointment would
not supersede the necessity of establishing the Offices
] Of audit which Mr.. Ruttn had suggested.
I Mr.. Brown approved the resolution, but thought
the Convention should at once create an auditor or
auditors department. He had introduced bill in
| the Senate for this purpose which having passed
that body, either lost in the House of Commons
or was never considered there The public treasu-
! ~ was now subjected to great depredations. At
! the present iuncture lavish waste Of the public
! money would greatly enfeeble the public arm and
battle its every effort while rigid economy in its ex-
penditure would give additional ardor and impetus
to the struggle for Independence. He had the high
est esteem for the public Treasurer and desired this
| for his protection Is we'll as the public good.
Mr.. Graham also thought there should be more
rigid system of accountability in the expenditure Of
public moneys s-7 5e.
He suggested that the committee proposed would

The Diet Of Different People.

Even the experienced trainers Of the
prize-ring cannot decide which is the
best food. They have prejudice in ia
yor of mutton-chops and un-done beef
steaks. but it is by no means sure that
this is the best. The Roman soldiers
who were all trained athletes, marched
under weight of armor and luggage
that few men in our day could carry
lived on course, brown wheat or barley
bread. which they dipped in sour wine.
In our day, the Spanish peasant is
among the strongest and most agile men
i'll the world. He will work all day in a
copper-mine, or at the olive press, or the
wine-press, and then dance half the
night to the music of a guitar. He lives
on piece of black bread, an onion, and
perhaps half a watermelon. You may
see him dipping his bread into horn Of
olive oil, and then into some vinegar,
made hot with pepper and garlic, and he
Is happy. Sometimes he gets draught
of harsh, sour wine, but not strong. All
the strong wine is sent to England.
The Smyrna porter walks off with a
load of eight hundred weight. His on
ly food, day after day, is a handful OF
dates, a few figs, bunch of grapes,
some olives. He eats no flesh. His
whole food does not cost him penny a
day. The Coolie, living on his rice, can
Outwork the negro fed on bacon. The
Arab, living on rice and dates, conquer
ed half the world. We eat too much.
Many people eat breakfast, lunch, dinner,
ter. supper-fve meals day and three
of them hearty ones. Our sanitary re-
formers have not looked much to the diet
question. The stomach is the centre
and citadel of organic life. 1t is worth a
little consideration, as we'll as the lungs
and skin, which depend upon it.

Asparagus.

In old times, gardeners used to have
a good deal of ceremony in making as
paragus beds, by paving the bottoms
with stone, and using certain definite
proportions of this compost and that,
without which they asserted, asparagus
would not grow. Experience has proved
this to be all unnecessary. A light loan.
made very rich, pretty deep down, is all
you need for bed. The asparagus is a
native of the sea-shore. Of course, it
likes a sandy chance and some salt 1t
has profusion of long stringy roots
which like to spread over large surface,
and to plunge deep. Give it a chanc
by spading up light loan, two feet
deep, and make it as rich with good old
manure AS you can. In order to have
large stalks, give each root fair elbow
room. Make rows not less than a foot
apart, and two feet would be better, if
you had room enough, and set the roots
ten inches apart in the rows. If put
nearer together, you must feed high and
apply the dressing often. In regard to
the time of setting out. the fall is good
time. Early spring is quite as good, II
planted in the fall be sure to mulch the
bed well after you have done it, by COW
ering over we'll with leaves, or litter.
which should be raked off in spring
This prevents the frost from throwing
the plants out Of the ground during the
winter and spring. The plants should
be cut sparingly until they are four or
five years old. In the fall, of each year
cut away the old stalks, and fork in a
lot of old barnyard manure, and pour on
some brine. This will keep up the fer
hlity. You cannot get an asparagus bed
too rich, but it should also be ght and
somewhat porous, and kept free Of grass
and weeds,

The Rev. Mr.. kaIlOch Again.
Tile Minister again charged wiM "indis-
cretion"-he giues an afflicted young In
dy an asylum for night
Mr.. Hayes-the keeper of the fremont
Temple-appears, by the Herald, to have
abandoned his quondam friend Kalloch,
and to insinuate that the reverend gen.
leman used his private room in the
Temple as an asylum for a young lady
during an entire night. This might have
been mere kindness on the part of Mr..
H., for he is known to be feeling man, yet
the circumstances are such as to afford
ground for suspicious not entirely con-
sistent with strict propriety. However,
we wish to be cautious about what we
say. AS when the little faux pas at East
Cambridge occurred. the ylgilant Janitor
atthe Temple was extremely indignant
because we mentioned it, and warned us
Of the terrible consequences of libeling
a clergyman.
In the present instance. however, Mr..
Hayes must have had hard nights
work of il himself, watching at the head
of the stairs. at the corner Of the street,
pent up in closets, &c. &C., Mr.. Griffin,
the porter, was active, also, and appears
to be convinced Mr.. Kalloch is not ex-
actly as pure as the Apostles. But the
whole Development seems TO be an expo
sure OF arrant hypocrisy, di,graceful in
the last degree. The tale of Messrs.
Hayes and Griffin tends to prove that
the minister made an appointment to
meet girl-one Of his choir--in his pri.
rate room, late at night. The appoint
ment was kept the female remained all
night, and the clergyman until mid.
night.
Tie clergyman afiirms that the female
was turned from her boarding house,
and WAS granted shelter in his room a,

ence Of another female in his room at the
time affords evidence Of the CORRECTIVE SIS
Of his conduct in all stages of the affair.
But of this the public will soon be able
