AItcgetler Too Bad.

Starved to death! How appallingi In
country, too, that ought literally to abound
with 'Fthe kindly fruits of the earth" The
sunny South, an agricultural community,
with a rich and friendly soil, to starye its
small population? Fearful fact! No coun-
supplies abroad at prices that keep the
masses perpetually driven to the wall. Eng
land, France and the North prosper because
they raise their own food supplies and divers
sify pursuits. The city Of London alone,
contains a population nearly equal 10 one
third Of the entire Southland they are fed.
Through the exac: system of EogliSh agri~
culture, the farmers Of that country gather
an hundred per cent more wheat from the
acre than we do, at our maximum yield.
4 war in Europe between this and fall, is
among the grave probabilities. In that event
cotton may not be worth more than 10c. Per
pound, and the men with the biggest corn
crops will be the prosperous party. Let Us
learn a lesson right now. A large provision
crop and small crop of cotton is the secret
of future prosperity and wealth. Some will
say there IVES drouth last year. True; but
cotton was made, and went for provisions.
The man who haulS his cotton to market for
price scarcely more than nominal, and
returns with cornHat from one to two hun
dred per cent over old prices, in our humble
judgment, is very much the loser.

The INJUNCTION CAsE.-The States Of
Georgia and Mississippi appealed to the Su-
preme Court Of the U'ited States to pre-
vent the Reconstruction acts Of Congress
from being executed, alleging that they
were unconstitutional and destructive TO
the rights of these States. These cases
were argued by the most eminent counsel,
in a thorough, able and effective manner.
The Coart, after mature consideration Of
the case, dismissed 10th bills, adjudging
thereby that the reconstruction measures
Of Congress are NOT unconstitutional. The
Mississippi bill was amended, however, by
praying that the military authorities might
be prevented from wasting the public pro-
perty of the State after which, it was con-
tinued
Now, that the question is settled, We
trust that those who leaned on this hope
will throw no further obstacles in the way
of construction, but, on the contrary. as
sist in preserving the little Of liberty and
property LETT us. -PickenS Courier.

ven! All associated with him in his release,
and to be connected with his trial, will be
handed down to postcrity. The officer to

The dignity and reticcnce of Mr.. Davis,
while under duress, is a lofty tribute to the
virtues Of ennobled manhood! His freedom
from a murmuring, eliminating spirit,
challenges admiration! Would that the
press and people Of the South, as an unit,
were persuaded that a patient, silent SUBJ
mission on the part Of 8 captive (and we are
all captives in one sense) is far better than a
captious one. Mr.. Davis neither found

One Of the most successful farmers we
