There are petitions TO Congress
circulating in Texas for the division
of the State and the erection of the
new State of West Texas. One rea-
son given for it is the loyalty of the
people in the Western section and
the preponderance of sccessionists in
other portions.
Fair Play-The position of Sena-
tor Wilson, that the outside States,
in meeting the terms laid down by
Congress, will be restored to Con-
gress. On that platform, the Senator
may defy "Old Thad." and all his
followers. -Me,o York Herald.

Tho Appeal to the Supreme Court.
The Richmond IImes-one. of the
few journals which is persistently
Southern in its views-has an article
on the cases brought before the
Supreme Court by the States of Mis-
sissippi and Georgia. 1t says, as we
have frequently said in these CO.
lumns, that the only effect of deci-
sion in our favor would be, to throw us
back upon the Fortieth Congress,
which is more largely and intensely
radical than any of its predecessors.
The Times, therefore, adheres to the
opinion that it is idle to look to the
Supreme Court for any actual relief.
Our duty is to bring all the political
power which we possess under the
Sherman bill to bear on the ballot
box, and, to this end, every white
man in the State, as we have reite-
rated in the Ph@n, c, who is entitled,
under that bill, to q vote, should re-
gister as soon as the opportunity is
presented, and, by united and uni
versal effort, extricate the State from
the threatening embarrassments of
her situation. The idea, which is
sometimes expressed by unrefecting
and excited men, that it is degrading
to vote, and, therefore, they will not
do it, because negroes are awarded
the some privilege, is about as pre-
posterous as it would be for drown
ing man to refuse to lay hold of one
end of the first piece of drift-wood
that is floating by him, because ne
gro has hold of the other.
This journal has taken its position
in relation to this matter-a position
that is dictated by every argument
which could be brought forward by
reasonable men. AS business gen.
tleman told us yesterday morning,
let us get back to the Union in the
easiest way. We are gratified to
learn, by private letters, and by con-
slant interchange of opinions with
prominent and leading men-think-
ing mcn-of the State, that our views
in relation to reconstruction are re-
garded with much favor. In truth,
whatever may be the result of the ap-
plications now being made to the
Supreme Court, the only hope for
the South is by prompt and cheer
full compliance with the laws of Con
gress.

Governor Orr, in speaking of the
possible ascendancv Of the negroes
in certain of the Southern States, by
reason of their numerical majority,
said that, in any event, they would
soon lose this power, for there will be
an immigration of whites, but there
can be no immigration of negroes.
The New York Times, in comment
ing upon this sentence, says that,
leaving out of view all other consi-
derations, it certainly furnishes con-
elusive argument against the attempts
to excite antagonism between the
races in the South. It says, truly,
that the Southern blacks are very
prolific people-at least, have been
80 while in u state of slavery; but in
no Southern State, and, probably, in
no district, will they be able to retain
political power, through n numerical
majority, after the tide of emigration
is turned Southwark, rs the Times
says it surely will be, before many
years We quote one sentence from
the Times, which deserves peculiar
prominence. It is this:
GAS a peaceful and laborious part
of the population of the South, guar
auteed their rights by law, they may
live and flourish until the end of time;
bit as The enemies Of Tie dominant and
Prelominati,ag aohite race, there is no

We have italiciscd the last SEN
tence, because it conveys very large

colorcd people.
Com. TN its commercial column,
the louisville Courier, of recent
date, speaking of corn, makes the
following very timely and judicious
remarks in regard to it:
"These extreme high rates of corn
ought greatly to stimulate the pro-
duction, as it is an undisputed fact
that corn at 81 per bushel is the most
lucrative crop ever grown by the
farmer. 1t requires less real manual
labor, or actual expense, trouble or
risk than any other crop, and our ad-
vice now to North MS we'll as South is
to grow corn. The past, or rather
the present, crop has been repeatedly
stated to be the largest ever reaped in
the country; yet to-day n bushel of
corn, even in this market, which is
now the cheapest, cannot be pur
chased forbes than 81. O5 per bushel.

Agricultural Prospects south.

The New York Comntercial, q very
observing and we'll conducted paper,
publishes upwards of two columns of
reports,G from different localities
North mid South, all of which, with
but n few exceptions, unite in repre-
senting the prospect as being most
encouraging, both for cereals and
fruits. In the Northwestern States,
the prospect for wheat was never
better, and the yield will be very
large, as the. area devoted to this
cereal has been largely increased.
The reports from the Southern
States, according to the Commercial,
are encouraging Considerable more
territory seems to have been devoted
to seed last fall than is generally sup
posed. A Chattanooga paper asserts
that there will be more wheat har-
vested in East Tennessee than during
any previous year. Prospects were
never better in Virginia, as we'll as in
Georgia and Mississippi. Though
there is suffering now, the prospect is
that the South will have abundance
of food as soon as the harvest is
gathered. But. during the making
of these crops, the people here will
require large contributions of provi-
sions and breadstuffs, to prevent
actual want and starvation. Let us
live in hope.
The CONGRESSIONAL AppRopR1A-
T1oN.-A despatch from Washington

The Secretary of War has issued n
circular to the agents of the Freed
mems Bureau giving directions rs to
the distribution of the special relief
fund, as provided by joint resolution
of Congress, approved March 80,
1867.
The Assistant Commissioners are
directed to see that none but the very
destitute receive relief, which is to
consist of one bushel Of corn and
eight pounds of meat per month for
each adult person, and one-half the
above amount Of corn and meat for
each child between one and fourteen
years of age, and this issue of food
will be discontinued as soon as early
vegetables and fruits shall be grown.
1t is further directed that Assistant
Commissioners appoint additional
local agents whenever absolutely ne
cessary. for the special purpose of
issuing these supplies, to whom the
oath of loyalty prescribed by the Act
of Congress, approved July 2, 1862,
will be administered, and no one who
cannot subscribe to the same shall re-
ceive such appointment.

WORDS ADDRESSED TO ALL.


When the system is relaxed by the OPP.
pressive heats of Summer, it becomes more
or less predisposed to absorb the poisons
arising from refuse and offal with which
our cities abound. This is one of the pre-
vailing causes of the diseases which we are
subject to at this season of the year, viz;
Diarrhea, Dysentery, Cholera, and last,
though not least, Looseness of the Bowels,
which is forerunner of these complaints,
and ought, in every instance, to be checked
By neglecting the premonitory symptoms,
the bowels become relaxed to degree which
often terminates in that fatal scourge, the
Cholera. The question naturally suggests
itself, how can we prevent these diseases,
and, if suffering, what is the cure? The
grand preventive is cleanliness and pure
air. The cure, Marsdens Carminative
Syrup, a preparation composed of Gums and
Banks indigenous to South America where
the formula has been adopted as being the
most efficacious in all Disorders of the Bow
els.

to relieve and cure every case of Diarrbcsa,
Dysenteiy, and Cholera.
