The Feeling Of the South

We have been permitted, says
the Cincinnati Enquirer, by a
friend who has lately received a
private letter from the distin-
guished Confederate General,
Longstreet, to make the following
extract from it. Its tone coming
from such q source, ought to con.
vince even the most sceptical of
the disposition of the South to
accept, frankly and honestly, the
results of the war; and should
shame those who, from party heat.
refuse to allow that section of the
country to resume its old relations
with the Union. General Long.
street says:
81 see that some of the public
men of the North are still inclined
to doubt our loyalty at the South,
and to hold us in our present con-
dition for further guarantees
What can we do to satisfy them
I've are willing and anxious to do
~ thing that is wanted of us,
provided we are allowed to get en-
some constitutional platform. /
do not suppose that there a thou
sand men in the South who think
differently from myself on this
subject, and | have some doubts
whether there as many as that
who would leave the Union to-day,
if they were offered the choice to
go out or return upon terms OF
equality"

The purpose of the Radicals is
to agitate continually. This was
declared by Mr.. Phillips at the
late meeting of the Anti-Slavery
Society. Hesaid Mr.. Sumner and
Mr.. Wilson urged this course upon
the abolitionists. "They want
every anti-slavery journal, every
anti-slavery society continued D
was the assertion of Mr.. Phillips.
Thus it appears that these Sena-
tors are in confidential communi-
cation with men who are denoun-
cling the President as traitor to
the interests Of his country, and
saying the country is unsafe under
his administration. Sumner and
Wilson privately advise and d.
rect the conduct of the bitterest
opponents and enemies of the
President, and then avow on the
floor of the Senate that they are
his most trustworthy friends and
truest supporters. The President
has some of the same sort of sup
porters in Tennessee.

verdict of S47.40 for plaintiff. =
1t appears that in May last, Julius
Rhaesa, employed as cigar maker

on the point of return to Detroit
the dispatch came to hand, having
been mailed from Albany. Rha-

the amount.

The Bank Of Tennessee.

The following are the leading
provisions Of the bill, lately passed
by the Legislature, to wind uE
the Bank of Tennessee:

for the nomination and confirma.
ton of president and five direct

| The fate OF the negro is an In
teresting problem just now
Some of our wisest men believe
that the race will die out as rapid
ly as did the Indian, if not more
SO. An important character in
the history of the past five years
touching this matter, might be
obtained by inquiry among the
planters of the South. One gen.
tleman in Shelby county, who had
on his plantation below Memphis
before the war, thirty-two negroes
reports that seventeen of them are
dead. Another. who had ON bis
plantation in Arkansas thirty ne
groes, reports that twelve of them
died. Other parties having plan
tations SHOWN South" report a
proportionate mortality among
their former slaves. 1t would be
interesting and highly important
to get the experience of planters
generally throughout the South
touching this matter. We appre-
bend it would develon q fearful
mortality among the blacks who
have teen left to their own resour-
ces pretty much during that peri
cd.

THE WAY DIVORCES ARE GOT U

THE WAY DIVORCES ARE GOT VI
AT THE NoRTH.-The st. Louis
Dispatch thus describes the meth
cd of procedure:
sit is done in this wise: A man
in New York gets tired of his
wife, and, wishing a divorce, calls
on the agency in that city, and ar
ranges simply the fee he has to
paw. All else is left to the agency.
The case is sent to an Indiana
lawyer, who commences proceed
ings, alleging in the complaint a
half a dozen sufficient causes, not
one of which is true; the case is
referred to another of the same
class of lawyers, who reports,
without hearing a word OF evl-
dencc in favor of the divorce; the
court sees it is all right on the
record. and unsuspectingly con-
firms the proceedings and DEGREES
the divorce. A copy of the rec
ord is forwarded to the New York
agency and the injured husband,
who has been living at home with
his unsuspicious wife, coolly in-
forms her he has procured a di-
yorce. and desires her to find an
other home and make way for the
new wife,"

Cotton Seed.

The following letter will inter
est many of our readers:
New ORLEANS, Jan. 5, 1866
The time is rapidly approaching
when farmers will be prepared to
plant cotton, and there is one fact
which may not generally be known
to them to which l wish to draw
their attention, and it is this
Cotton seed which have laid in
the lint unchanged, for twelve
months, will not do to depend up
on for planting purposes. The
majority of planters know that old
seed, which have been ginned the
fall cotton was picked, are as good,
if not better, than new. This is
not the case where the seed have
lain unginned for year. The
lint extracts or absorbs all the oil
(which serves as nutrition to the
young plant) from the seed. 1t
does not destroy the terminating
property of the seed; the seed will
come up but the plant will die in
ten days. The writer knows one
planter who lost two entire stands
Of cotton last year, and thereby
totally failed in a crop. He plan
ted seed which had lain unginned
fortwelve months. The seed came
up and he had a fine stand, but in
about ten days, all died. He plan
ed second time with the same
results. As this is matter of
vital Importance to the planting
community, will not the planters
let it be known, if such has been
their experience?

Advertising.

The following from the Cincin-
natl Commercial is as applicable
to some other localities as to Ohio !:
The style in which Government
advertising is done throughout the
country is shameful. Advertise
ments are inserted in the newspa-
pers without the least regard to
their value as an advertising me-
dunn, and vast sums worse than
thrown away. 1t was regula-
ton of the War Department that
its advertising should be done in
only two papers in each State. In
this State, the Cincinnati Gazette
and Ohio State Journal were elec,-
ed-the Gazette, we suppose, be-
cause it was habitually abusive of
all the fighting men in the field,
and the Journal because it was
published near the State House.
Large sums were spent in adverti-
sing in the journal for bids, when
the advertisement would have
been of precisely the same value,
reaching as many of the class of
men who made proposalsto furnish
Government supplies, if written
eligibly on a sheet of foolscap and
stuck up in fence corner on the
National road.

A resolution was offered in the
House of Representatives of the
Tennessee Legislature, few days

shop was kept in one of the COM

We gave some particulars last

Ia dancing party near Tuscumbia,

al particulars:
ave omitted last week men,

SAINT with the facts.
"On Friday evening, the 10Th Of
January, party of the neighbor-
ing young men and ladies assem-
bled at the house of Mr.. Isaac
Scott, for the purpose of having a
dance. The night was extremely
warm and the dancers soon be-
came wet with perspi, alton; during
the night a heavy gale of wind COM
menced blowing and the weather
suddenly became freezing cold chill
ing the dancers TO the bone, and
in some instance freezing their wet
clothing. In this condition they re-
turned to their homes in the morn
ing. On the following morning
the first victim was taken with a
chill and died the next day. An
other and another followed in
quick succession, some living but
a few hours, others longer. Up

The Augusta Constitutionalist

The Augusta Constitutionalist
contains an account, by j. T. Mix
on, of the most terrific tornado we
ever read of, which passed over
the village of Newbern, Georgia,
about dusk, on Wednesday, the
Oath. Its extent was two hun
dred yards in breadth and half a
mile in length. Four dwellings
were utterly demolished, and al
most all the inmates either killed
or crippled. To give an idea of
the power of the wind, it is stated
that a green oak board was blown
three hundred yards with such
force that it was driven into a
white oak some six inches.
Even the lunatic asylums have
their romances. Some years ago,
there were in Colney Hatch, Eng
land, a young man and a young
woman who made each others ac-
quaintance at one of the monthly
balls given for the amusement of
the inmates. Mad though they
were, they carried on an innocent
courtship, and, despite the vigi-
lance of the officials, managed a
written correspondence. Both re-
covered, and after their discharge,
having renewed their courtship,
happily. So far as is
known at the asylum, neither has
had a relapse Of insanity.
