TAKING CoLD.-Thousands take cold and
bring upon themselves variOQs forms Of in
durable disease, by laying aside an extra
garment when perspiring from heat or Wig
orous exercise. When exercise has been
taken the person should rest awhile before
removing an extra garment, and if lying
down or exposed to current Of air, more
clothing, instead Of less, should be added
till we'll rested. When exposed to cold
from getting the feet or person wet, dry
clothing should be put on, and vigorous ex-
ercise taken, however stupid the person
may feel, unless too much exercise has been
previously taken, in which case, remove the
damp clothing, retire Immediately to bed,
cover very warm and put warm bricks OF

The True Ground.

The Judge OF tho First District
Court in Louisiana, a despatch says,
has decided the civil rights bill to be
unconstitutional and not binding.
The Court argues that the present
Congress is unconstitutionallyc consti-
tuted, and hence their acts are not
legally binding.
We have frequently taken the same
ground in this paper. and expressed
the hope that the President would
regard the men now in the capitol
the same light. To our mind, this is
the true ground for him to take; for,
in his speeches and messages, he has
impliedly, if not directly, declared
that the "so-calie,i" Congress now in
session was not constitutional. 1t is
we'll we have the Judiciary to look to;
it has always been the conservator of
tho Constitution; and it is probable
that the Supreme Court, at It's ap-
preaching session, will be called on
to decide on the matter

The Crops.

The Crops.
The planters around Charlotte n
g., complain that the cotton planted
IS not coming up.
The wheat crop in North Carolina
is said to be very promising. The
farmers are planting large crops of
corn and cotton.
Those who are well posted think
that on account of the lack of control
OF labor. the unsoundness of seed
used, and other valid reasons, not
moro than half Il crop ef cotton can
safely be anticipated in Texas and
Louisiana. The growing wheat is
looking well, with promise of u fine
yield
The Bolivar (Tenn.) Buuetiu thinks
that in that region there will be put
IN cultivation this year ut least double
the quantity of land that was titled in
1863 Many of the large fields that
have only served us pastures for the
past three or four years are now being
put III condition suitable for planting
purposes.
The Memphis Le'Ifer says the great
havoc which has been made in the
cotton fields bordering on Mississippi
River by the present overflow is
appalling. 1t is no exaggeration to
say that nncounted thousands of
acres of land prepared for cotton have
been abandoned The seed planted
has rotted in the ground. and the
most fertile portion of the cotton
growing region of the South is :.
watery sea of desolation. We have
no language adequate to convey
to "nr friends the sympathy we
feel for eli, mis- fortunes. We do
not pretend to know how far this
state of thiH-. - will affect the cotton
market, but those who calculate on a
large crop had better investigate the
subject
The New Orleans Times. Of the I'll
instant, says the following communi-
cation is entitled to the highest con
sideration:
PoRr GIRsoN. Mississippi, April
IS. 1866. The calculation of the
cotton crop of 1866 is made upon
basis of 1000, 900 bales. produced in
BIB working days by the then labor
OF the country previous to the war.
AS the laborer now works but five
days in the week. the loss in working
time is one-sixth, or tifty-two DAYS,
which, deducted from 3l3 davs--old
working time leaves 27l days of
working time now; but the labor now
performed is really only two thirds of
that which he formerly did. which
gives but Ia days of actual labor
now being done.
Now, if in BIB days. !, 200, 600 bales
were produced, how many bales will
be produced in l75 day Answer,
:, 223, GAP. Deduct the loss of labor
since the commencement of the war
at TAI, PA; which will give the crops
OF 1866 AT l,4S2 ,42S, provided the
season be as favorable as that which
II 'merly produced 1000, 900 bales.
But it is generally believed that
throughout the whole cotton region
there is not at this time third of
the land in cultivation that there was
IN 1860; so that it would seem the
present cotton growing crop has very
small chances to exceed 1000, 600
altS T. h
W" have seen i'll some paper a
similar estimate with the above. We
cannot expect much of anything in
general from the white labor this sea
son. onr correspondent no doubt,
has taken the entire available labor OF
the country into view
