BEER VS.. WINE.-An American now travel
ing in Germany writes as follows to a Yves
tern paper -" In Southern Germany, where
wine Is not at all dear, beer has almost en-
tlrely supplanted it in popular favor and in
Switzerland it is rapidly doing so. The de-
mand fer beer is not easily met even in Ba-
varia, where it is made in altogether the lar
gest quantities of any German State, and the
price at breweries is two cents a glass, while
at railway stations, and indeed almost all
public places. it is three cents glass. In
Northern Germany, even in Saxony and
Southern Prussia, the Bavarian beer is in
such repute as to command six cents the
glass, and to sell freely at that price. In
Switzerland it is still more dear, quart bot
tie costin more than a franc. The demand
is rapidly increasing, and while the vineyards
are good source of income. the breweries
are yet more valuable. In France, too, beer
is becoming more and more favorite; and,
indeed, it is fact that in all the countries
with which have had any acquaintance
there is the same rapid increase in the de-
mand for beer. which we have witnessed du-
ring the past few years in America. Before
it wine seems to stand no chance; almost
every one prefers the slight bitterness, the
imagined nourishment, and real strength of
the Bavarian beer to the thinness and sonr-
ness of the native wines of this country.

CLINTON A. CILLEY, A. A. G

1t is known that there are persons in the State,
and out of it, who have sought to make the i'm
preston that our judicial officers and juries are
SO inimical to persons of color, and persons
among who were soldiers in the United States
army during the late civil war, who refused to
serve in the Southern armies, that such persons
cannot expect justice in our Courts. Citizens of
this State, who had served in the army of the
United States, have filed petitions, addressed to
the President of the United States, charging that
they were prosecuted by our courts, and praying
for protection. Upon reference of the petition
erS to me, by the President, have made such in
vestigations as satisfied me, beyond doubt, that
there was no ground for the filing of such petit
tions. And these Investigations, after having
been submitted, in detail, for examination, have
in each case drawn forth response of like salts
faction from the national authorities.
Inquisitions have been made and e1 parte state
ments taken from persons who claim to have
been aggrieved by the action or non-action of our
courts and juries. None of these yet, far
as L know, even if taken as true prove any thing
to the prejudice of any judicial officer of the
State The ability and purity aud impartiality
with which justice has al ways been administered
in this State, even where negro appealed to our
questioned at home Or abroad. Our present ju-
dicial corps will not suffer by comparison with
their predecessors at any period Of our history
1 have referred to these things only to justify me
in asking at this time for peculiar diligence and
eircumspection on the part of all Justices of the
Peace, Skeriffs and other judicial and executive
officers in the discharge of their official duties.
One of the unhappy sequents of the late civil war
Is an increase OF crime-partlcularly larceny and
burglary, and the too frequent failure to appre-
bend and punish the criminal. Every good citi-
7en should operate with the officers of justice
in bringing every violator of the criminal law to
justice. We eau, in no other way, expect a re
turn of the quiet and security which distinguished
our State before the war
1t ought to be, and hope it is the wish, not
only of the Judiciary, bnt of every intelligent
white man in the State, to protect the lately
emancipated negro in all the rights of person
and of property, to which he is entitled under
the laws, and thus induce him to confide in our
Justice, and encourage him to be honest and in
dustrious, and to acquire property and take care

WHAT Is THE EARrH,s SHAPE.

GEN. JAcKsoN's biographer expresses the
opinion that the great hero of New Orleans
firmly believed in the ancient theory that this
earth of ours is " as fat as pan cake
That was comfortable belief for the old
General and the rest of mankind. and it is
barely possible, Notwithstanding the boasted
intelligence of the present generation, that
modern " agitatorsn in the world of science
were just as pestilent innovators on the habits
Of thought, and the conservative customs Of
good society as the moral ''agitators' of the
abolition persuasion of the present age.
Evidently they turned the world upside
down. most literally and Galileo's disciples
have worried the Church in later days with
their heretical discoveries, almost as much q.
Gallileo troubled the Pope in his day.
But after all, what is the shape of the
earth? The ancients and Gen. JACKSON,
with many modern Jacksonians, held that it
was fat as breakfast table, and more sta
tionary. Copernicus " knocked out the pins Z
from under this theory, and set the earth to
revolving, and hence must be round US ball.
Subsequently it was demonstrated that the
shape was like that of an orange, a little fat
tened at the poles. And now an English
philosopher by the name of ADAMS comes
with his incontrovertble logic, and demon
strates that this hattening process is going on
with accommodating force from year to year,
and that the earth is enlarging at the Equator,
and hattening up at the poles day by day.
And as d final result, that it will become as
thin as i board, or as circular saw, and
fellow won't have any chance but to straddle
the edge and hold on while old mother earth
pursues her gyrations.
We don't ike the prospect, for we don't
see how the women will manage, especially
if the world is to I" fat OUT before the pre-
sent fashion Of hoops goes out of date. And
how, we venture to beg of Mr.. ADAMS, are
we to keep our sanctum and our editorial ta-
BILE in ostion on the "perilous edge" of the
distended periphery which his theory is pre-
pairing for the earth. How, indeed, with
ADAMS circular saw staring one in the face,
like the sword of Damocles, can a fellow in
dulge the bright anticipations Of that "good
time coming which has cheered US in so
many despondent hours Indeed, give us
back the old faith, which commended itself
to Gen. JACesoN's 5 strong horse sense,
rather than this new-fangled and annoying
theory of this latest of the philosophical sag
itators."
