Acorraspondent writing from California to the
Southern Recorder says: :.Just here, let me say to
the many friends who write concerning coming to
This country TO better themselves: If you have
home, and can make living, stay where you are.
If you come here to buy land, you cannot tell
whether you have any title or not. The best Of
4hei farming land is covered with Spanish grants.
People here are seriously talking Of emigratng to
the Southern States, and by next spring quite
number will start" -:
The Houna La.) CauSc Guard speaks thus Of
the ingoing crops: "Our planters have had a de-
1ightful spell OF weather for planting cane, and,
from all we can learn, have been improving the
time. All the large plantations are being planted
in cane. Only the small farms, where there are
no sugar houses, will be planted in cotton. We
;hopesn will plant plenty OF corn. Rice will receive
more attention than formerly, which, we are
pleased to learn, paid well last year. Most Of the
freedmen have contracted Tor the year. In most
aver
age price paid for men is about SIS per month and
rations."
The Montgomery Advertiser says of recent
decision Of the Supreme Court Of Alabama ''The
case Of HAWKINS us. NELSON YVES an action of
detinue for horse in Walker Circuit Court, and
the Supreme Court decides that where horse, the
property Of a non-combatant, was taken by the
arl J Of the United States was abandoned by
them and left on the plaintiffs premises, and was
afterwards regained by the owner, the plaintiff
cannot recover him from the owner, by action az
law, without showing that the seizure by the
army was authorized by the law Of nations, as re-
cognized by the published general orders for the
regulation Of the United States army"

utilizing the hitherto wasted powers Of the COM
mon house mouse. He has invented cotton
spinning machine, 50 constructed that couple of
mice if tossed into the right place, cannot help it,

worth of oat meal will keep each mouse five weeks,
md during that time it will do the work for which
, woman is now paid nine pence. In other words,

which, after deducting six pence for board and
Ihilng for wear and tear Of machinery, leaves

,entor, it is said, is putting up ten thousand OF
hese mills, with view Of getting his living out of
