Editors Courier There are many in

composed of an exterior carbonaceous shell
and green living gem, within. The par

general use, I will give the directions for

After washing the seed to clear it of dust,

the seed whilst damp into the vessel for

the whole grain is thoroughly parched. =
Without soaking first, the outer portion

As soon as the whole grain is parched

Fixing Prices.

The following resolutions were adopted
by the City Council at its recent meeting
Resolved, That the spirit of extortion
which now so extensively prevails amongst
those engaged in speoulatiug in the com
mon necessaries of life is unpatriotic, inhu-
man, unchristian aud highly prejudicial to
the cause of Southern independence, and
calls loudly for redress on the part of the
authorities of this State.
RESOLVED, Tha. although the power to
redress this evil is not vested in this body,
yet we deem it our privilege, as we'll as
our duty, as in part the representatives and
guardians of the welfare of the citizens OF
Columbia, respectfully but earnestly to ap.
peal to the Governor and the Executive
Council of the State, in the exercise of the
extraordinary powers conferred upon them
by the people in, Convention assembled, to
interpose for the protection of the suffering
families of our soldiers and of our citizens
generally, by the adoption of such meas.
ures as will stop or partially remedy the
evil in question. i.
ResoIued, / hat without attempting to
dictate, we respectfully suggest to the Gov:
ernor and Executive Council the adoption
of maximum scale of prices of all such
articles of food and clothing as may be re,
garded necessary for the subsistence and
comfort of the people, similar to those a.
dopted in New Orleans, Richmond and
elsewhere; and an absolute forfeiture to
the State of all articles exposed or offered
for sale at prices higher thar the maximum
fixed; and such additional punishment as
may be deemed proper
Resozued, That the Mayor and Aldermen
of Columbia, through the police OF the
city, will aid the Governor and Council to
the full extent of their ability, in rigidly
enforcing any regulation ou this subject
they in their wisdom may adopt.
Resozued, That the Clerk be instructed
to furnish certified copy of these resolu

the Police Department for the State, with
the request that they be submitted to the
Governor and Executive Council for their
consideration. ...

THE DETERMINATION OF THE North.
The North is at last becoming convinced
of the determination Of the South in this
struggle. The New York Erpress publish
es the following extract from letter writ
ten BY Northern man in Nashville:
The rebel army is just beginning to 60
to work in earnest there, and will fight the
stronger when they have no border State
defepces to divide their forces. They are
Just beginning to realize that the Federal
soldiers are worth fighting against, and that
thousands of men who heretofore thought
there was no use of enlisting now begin to
see that they will be wanted. We shall
hear of larger rebel army in three or
four weeks than ever before. They don't
mean to give up, but will fight it out,
moving backwards by slow degrees, and
destroying all property that is movable and
perishable, except their cities, until their
line of defeuces is established, with such a
concentration of force as will keep our SOL
diers from any decisive authority over ter
ritories South of the border line. -
The Northern aud the Southern States
have uDdervalued their enemy ever since
the war began, and that particularly at the
South they needed reverses to inspire con-
centrated action. Another mistake made
by the Confederates was, that they did not
think the Union troops would commence
spring operations so soon, and hence they
were not prepared for them to the extent
they now are or soon will be. 1t looks now
as if the border States will 60, but they
will make an effort to save them as long as
possible, so as to perfect their preparations
for resistance further South. They don't
mean to give in under any circumstances
while the Lincoln administration LASTS
This is the intention of even those who

FROM WASHINGTON CrrY.-An Epis.

FROM WASHINGTON Cry An Epis-
copal clergyman; who recently made his
escape from Lincoludom, arrived in our
city yesterday, on his way to his home in
Arkansas. He states that the report brought
BY Ex- Senator Gwin to Richmond, that
the Federal army at Manassas was demon:
allied, IS incorrect. On the contrary, the
army is we'll organized and ina high, state
of discipline: The people Of the North
are unit for "crushing out the rebellion"
and Lincoln has now in the field fully,
800, 900 men, which he can augment to two
millions, if be should deem it necessary -
Our informant desires that these facts
should be strongly impressed upon the
minds of the Southern people-that we
should know and understand the magni-
tude of the war that is upon us--and that
our only hope of success is to meet the
preparations Of. the North with like pre-
parations, and with like energy. While
in Washington, this gentleman attended
the debates of Congress. On many ques-
tious, there was considerable discord, but
whenever the subject of crushing out the
rebellion was up, the greatest unanimity
prevailed. The capitalists of the North
show some uneasiness about the money
they have loaned to the Government, and
it is probable, should the Southern Con.
federacy be successful, that they may create
a revolution at the North but at present
they, as we'll as all other classes Of society,
sustain the Government in the prosecution
of the war: In Maryland, where our in
formant resided most of the time since No.
vember last, the friends of the South are
three in FIVE of the population; but, kept
down by Federal bayonets, they are unable
to attempt their independence -
