paling fence in front. aud on the tables.
in the corners. and in the hall, you will
find the local papers. and the weeklies of
the nearest large city, the Southern Guilt
vator, Southern Ruralist, American Agri-
culturist. or some other valuable agricultu-
raj journal. The proprietor is as well post
ed about the prices of cotton, grain. or
stock, as any travelling Spectator. He
does not depend upon the local politician
for his political ideas nor upon luck for a
good crop. His wife has a wider scope
for her minds employment than neighbour
hood scandal. and the children grow up
ambitious to succeed in life, and, warned
of the tricks, evils, and quicksauds of the
world, generally press onward and upward
into the front ranks.

circulate the nearest local newspaper, the
usual Sunday mornings gossip, SANDER,

The Rebel General Imboden lately ap-
piled to the courts for a naandaDlus, OF some
thing of the sort, 10 compel Gen. SchOfeld
to permit him to register and vote as a cit
izen of Virginia. He wanted to get de-
cision on the constitutionality Of the recon
structiOn laws. Judge Underwood. in dis
missing the case, held that if the laws were
constitutional, the applicant was properly
restrained from voting; and if unconstitu-
tisnal, as Reclaimed, then it was simply no
law at al, could do him no harm, and con
sequently he had no cause of action. limbo
den still believes the law invalid, but it
has force enough to keep him from voting,
and he don't quite understand how it is
that he finds himself out of court.

resolution was offered by Cromwell (col. }
TO the effect that, as the presence of JEFF.
Davis, the arch traitor, was detrimental to
peace and good order, he be ordered to

The resolution created considerable excite

order Mr.. Davis, who is now in one sense,
in shaCkles, and a prisoner Of the State,
