A LIBLE oX TIE ToNATo.-Thc following pre-
ciGuS nonsense is going the rounds of the agri-
cultural an.i other papers: "A good medical au-
thority ascrbes to the tomato the followiua very I'M
portan medical qualifications: lst That the tomato
Is one OF the most powerful apcriens of the liver and
other organs where calOmel Is indicated, it is of
the most effective and the least harmful medical
agents known to the profession. ID. THAT chemical

the use of caOmel in the of diseases. 3D.. That

This we regard as a sort of d0uble-header, being
wrong to the medical profession and libel upon our
most excellent friend the tomato. No good medi-
cal authority" wrote himself down such stupid
as to accuse tomato-vne of being an apothecary S
shop, or pair of Doctors saddle-bags. Just think
what condition our lives must be in at the close of
the tomato season; after being so powerfully 'aperi-
ented :" to say nothing of the other organs" The
whole thing savors of the most arrant quackery.
The tomato extract dodge was tried years ago. and
we had Tomato pills, will all Ills as the quack

FASHIONABLE FEMALE PLAY-The gambling of
pettcoats, at present, in New York described
as separate nationality. A correspondent of the
Cincinnati GG=etfc, In Fifth avenue and Four
teenth and Twenty third streets there are often par
ties of ladies from which the opposite are sternly
excluded, where the fair gamesters play until day
light for large stakes and it unfrequenty happens
that, when their purses are depleted, they puf m
their bracelets, necklaces and watches as wagers-
Some OF the female gamesters loose heavily, and the
desperate shifts-no allusion to their warrobes-to
which they put to conceal their losses, and re-
place them must be fearfully demoralizing.
A young woman, the daughter of one of our most
opuent citizens, pointed out to me- last Satur-
day, in the Park. as a notorious gambler, by of
her own sex, who informed me that she had parted

THE MURDER OF Rev. ROBERT CASrLENAy.-The
telegraph briefly announced day or two since the
murder of Rev. Robert Castleman, Episcopal
clergyman, near CASTOR n. c. From the Petersburg
Express we CLEAN the following additional particulars
of the dreadful crime
But few reliable details of his death have been re-
ceived, but enough is known to show that he was
murdered in cold blood. Mr.. Castleman has for
some time. been living Castor, and on the night
of his death had gone out to spend evening with
neighbor Mr.. William E. Brodnax. On his return
home he was met or waylaid by party parties,
not yet identified who shot, and from the nature of
his wound, almost Immediately killed him. He was
found on Thursday morning. the road between
Mr. Brodnaxs residence and his own, with fearful
gun-shot wound in his side, and dark disco orza-
ton of the parts about the wound, as, though he had
been Scared by burning powder. The fatal weapon,
had no doubt been placed in close contact with the
body.
Suspicion has fallen upon certain party as the
perpetrator of the foul deed but he has avoided
arrest by secreting himself leaving the neighbor
hood.
The sudden death of this estimable man, we under
stand, cast a deep gloom the community in
which he lived, and will lasting regret among
| his many friends in Virginia. He formerly had
charge of parish in Brunswick county, and was
| widely known in Petersburg. He was comparatively
| young man, but one Of much promise, and leaves
| an interesting family He has several times occupied
| the pupis of the Episcopal churches in this city.
| We hope in day two to learn the full partlcu
lars of this deporable affair and to hear OF the arres
of the murderers.

The Charleston Courier of the lth instant
contains a long editorial article on the subject
Of encouraging immigration, closing as fol-
lows -
South Carolina has been paralyzed in her
industrial pursuits. Her fields are waste-her
system of labor is gone. Hundreds Of her
sons now fill soldiers grave. The land must
be cultivated. There are thousands of acres
which await the toll Of man. We need pOpu-
lation. Our prosperity and future demand it.
We must seek the sources Of welfare from the
| light of experience. The West, late a wilder
| ness with the log cabin here and there scat
| tered through its broad extent now the cult
| waited and fruitful expanse and the abode Of
| tiourishing cities, owes It's wonderful and magic
| civilization to its encouragement Of emigration
within its borders. BY the acts Of its Legisa
| lures and by the appointment Of agents, it
makes known the condition of its lands and
| offered inducements for their purchase and
| settlement.
| The result was the flowing into It's territory
| of hardy and industrious population. 1t is
| Il mistake to suppose that the vicious and the
| ignorant are the emigrantS. They are those
| who have an aspiration for better things and
who gather up their little worldly goods and
| household gods in order to seek and dwell
| where there will be future for themselves and
| their posterity. South Carolina must pursue
the same course. She has been divcsted OF
| her old life. She must be invested with new
life. This new life will not come without care
| and effort. The necessity is to inform the
| public mind in Europe by competent represen-
tatives of the state of our lands and the re-
| publican character of the Commonwealth and
its institutions. Let us be true to the State in
her fresh career Let us dedicate our en-
dcavors to her progress. To stand still is to
decay and decline.

It Is generally understood among the
thinking and reading classes, both In this
country and in Europe, that our Govern
msnt contemplates making demand upon
England, after the close Of the rebellion,
for reparstiOn for damages to American
commerce by the Alabama and other rebel
privstesrs, fitted out In .EngEsh ports.
The attitude Of the English Governmentin
regard to this demand Is embodied in the
following words Of Lord John Russell, in
his speech on the opening Of Parliament!
There is smother matter with regard to
which there Is q great deal Of popular agi-
tation, and every now and then there is
sort Of threat that the day will come when
the United States Government VIII make
demands on her Hsjesty's Government.
I our lordshi6 heard last year, and the
wear before, think, that demands would
Be made BY the United States Of North
America for the capture and destruction Of
merchant ships by the Alabama and other
vessels, which, having some of their orig.
al build in England, were afterwards con-
veysd to distant ports, and there received
armsments which enabled them to cruise
against the commerce of the United States.

Of the Spanish and Portuguese war, when

South American contest which prayed on

must say that such a claim on the part of
