CoNJuRY.-A negro on the plantation of
Geo. B. Holmes, Esq, bought some calico
few days ago and got negro woman to make
it into spread for her bed. When it was
made and slept under for the first time, the
owner became sick, and suspicion of copjury
fell on the maker. 1t was said that the con-
Juror blew her breath three times in the mid
die of the spread The excitement on the plan
tation was intense. On Sunday the spread
was brought out and solemnly burned in the
presence of several thousand free and indie
pendent voters. On yesterday the copjured
woman walked to town through the rain and
mud to give ten dollars to the medicine-man
who cast out the evil spirits, and tae woman
who did the conjuring also came with her
friends to be cleansed Of the unclean spirit.
1t will cost her also ten dollars to be abso'v.
ed. In the meantime the plantation is in a
high state of excitement, and no work is
done. 1t is the duty of Congress to pass re-
construction supplemental act forbidding COL
iuring.- Mont. Mail.

DIVORCES IN SOUTH CARoL1NA.-The Louis
Vile "Courier" has the following paragraph
respecting an important change about being
made in the organic law of South Carolina.
This is only one of the many evils growing
out of this monstrous iniquity:
The people of South Carolina have ever
been remarkable for an exalted conception OF
the sacredness Of the marriage tie. The Leg
islature Of that State have uniformly been
controlled in their action by the conviction
that facilities for obtaining divorce are de-
structive of the purity and peace of society
The consequence has been that not single
divorce was ever granted in South Carolina
What God hath joined together. let no mar
nut asunder2n is 6yine precept which she
alone Of all the States, has observed to tht
yery letter. In this, as in other respects, thu
Radicals have undertaken to reconstruct the
Palmetto State. The socalled Constitution
under whichitisproposed to declare the STATE
admitted into the Union, contains provision
providing for disorce. at eas

A PARALLEL CASE TO IL TRovAroaE.-A
most curious occurrence happened in the
Prussian Providence of Posen. Some days
ago, poor woman fell sick, and as she was
near her end, she sent for the priest. She
subsequently confessed to him that She, about
thirty years ago, having been delivered of a
boy, she substituted her own child for the
child Of q Countess in whose employ she was.
Neither the nurse nor the Countess became
aware Of the exchange, and thus it remained
until to-day. Her own boy was educated as
& Count, and has married the daughter ola
very proud nobleman, while the real Count,
having grown up in poverty, went out to ser
vice, married, and is now"living not far from
mis- princely estate of Komornik, with his own
children. The woman said she could not die
without coufessing this sin. The priest ap-
piled at once to the authorities, and an inves-
rigation has been commenced.

White Men Must Rule.
by JAMES MAURICE THOMPSON.

The WHITES must rule the land or die;
The purpose stirs in hearts of steel;
With burning cheek and flashing eye,
We wait what waiting may reveal.
But come what may the WHITES must hold
What white MEMS patriot vaior bought
Our grandsires' ashes not yet cold
Hallow the soil for which they Sought.
Shall low-born scum and quondan slaves
Give laws to those wko own the eoil? ',a
MOI by our grand-sires' bloody graves!
No by our homestcads bought with toll
Our rights are rooted in cur lands,
Our law is written in the sky, @
!. Fate fings the fiat from her hands
The WHITES must rule the land or die.
There is q stony energy. -.
Locked in the honest white mans will
There is passion like the sea,
That clasps the shores of freedom still;
Though banded Cossack dare the day,
And soulless vampires fill the nights,
The distant ominous thunders say
None save themselves shall rule the wbites
Ring through the land the dirge of shame,
The requiem of greed and lust, B
Drive back the Cossacks whence they came
And grind these vampires il, the dust;
Then shall the cry of hunger cease,
The horrid fend of murder fly,
And all our valleys sleep in peace!
Tho WHITES must rule the land or diei
Hold fast, brave hearts, the day is nigh
When bowling conclaves dare to m set-
When al these mongrel iends shall fly
To some putressence-daubed retreas!
Blow Fate's decree from sea to sea, 49,
From sky to sky, from realm to realm
Our ship of State eternally 49,
Shall have WHITE MAN at the helm

GERMANY AND THE SouTH.-Our German
citizens will be glad to learn that the enter
prising merchants of Baltimore havo estab-
lished line of steamers to run between that
city end Bremen Ola Southampton-a steam
er leaving each of the two former points on
the 1st Of every month, and South anpton on
the 4th of every month. The price of pas
sage to Bremen, London, Havre and South
ampton is only $50 for the cabin and $36 for
the steerage. The vessels are of $500 tons
burthen, under the command Of experienced
German captains, and in all respects fitted
for the important part they arc destined to
perform in promoting the prosperity Of the
South through the large German immigration
which has begun to flow hitherward.
Those who have friends in the Fatherland
in less than twenty days can now clasp them
once more in arms. Whether it be to take
a trip home or bring relatives to the New
World, the facilities afforded by this new
line are unsurpassed. 1t is to the interest of
the South that the press generally shall make
these facts known. We need sturdy German
agriculturists and mechanics everywhere; we
shall welcome them warmly, and we should
encourage every effort to cause their immi-
grafton, especially when. itis effected through

harvesting season, and the spectacle was
pretty one. The negroes, men and
women, we're scattered about the planta-
tions with broad shallow trays made OF
plated grass or bamboo, strapped
over their shoulders and supper
ted at their waists; into these
they we're gathering the coffee, some
already beginning to dry and turn brown,
while here and there was green one,
not yet quite ripe, but soon to ripen in
the scortching sun. Little black chill
dren were sitting on the ground and
gathering what fell under the bushes,
singing at their work a monotonous but
rather pretty snatch OF song, in which
some took the first and others the
second, making not inharmonious
music. As their baskets were filling
they came to the administrator to receive
the metal ticket on which the amount OF
their work was marked. A task is
allotted to each one--so much TO full
grown man, so much to woman with
Young children, so much to q child and
each one is paid for whatever he may do
over and above it. The requisition is q
very moderate one, so that the indus
trious have an opportunity Of making q
little money independently.
AT night they all present their tickets,
and are paid on the spot for any extra
work. From the harvesting ground we
followed the wagons down to the place
where their burden is deposited. On
their return from the plantation, the ne
groes divide the days harvest, and dis
pose il in little mounds on the drying.
ground. When pretty equally dried, the
coffee is spread out in thin, even layers
over the whole inclosure, where it is
baked for the last time. 1t is then hulled
by very simple machine, in use on al
most all the fazendas, and the process is
complete.
At noon we babe gocd-by to our kind
host, and started for Juiz de Fora. Our
stage was not bad imitation Of Noah's
ark, for we carried with US the beasts OF
the field, and the birds of the air, and the
fishes from the waters, to say nothing OF
the trees from the forest. int

How the Election was Conducted in Pla-
quemines.
From the N, o. Picayune,l

From the N. o. Picayune.l ...,.-. .
A representation has been made in
writing by large number of citizens OF
Plaquemines parish of the manner in
which the election was conducted there.
The commissioners at Pointe-a-la-
Hache were three negroes, one of them a
candidate for justice Of the peace for
that, the courthouse, precinct His
father was another, and the third be-
longed to another part of the parish.
They kept the box unlocked and un-
sealed, and allowed negro voters living
in and registered from other parts of the
parish to vote there. A gang of negroes,
armed with bludgeons, surrounded and
kept possession Of the poll, and com
mittee of three stopped every oolored vo-
ter and forced him to let them examine
and inspect his vote, refusing to permit
such to vote any other than the Radical
ticket They also intimidated q great
many white men from voting.
The like course Of intimidation and in
spection was pursued at Talisferro pre-
cinct, with this variation, that there was
one white to two negro commissioners at
the poll. We quote the following as q
specimen oftheir line Of conducts:
-"One old and respected freedman,
named Gabriel Stevens. residing on Mr..
Bradish Johasen's plantation, WAS stop
ped BY some Of those rufhans, dragged OF
his horse, assanlte5, beaten, and threat
ED with immediate death, upon an Or

cratic ticket, and forced BY the same

gang to 20 away without exercisig his
franchise" r-.-..
At neither Of these polls were the bal
lots marked rs required by the orders
issued at headquarters. ~ NJ /,
The petitioners who lay their complaint
before the commanding general, say that
the negro population is so flushed with
its triumph thus obtained, that they pray
that some white soldiers may be sent
down to that parish to prevent ouirages
upon the white people.
The messenger who brought mp this
petition says that at Lawrence's planta-
ton he came up to forty or fifty negroes
coming this way with the ballot box Of
the Taliaferro precinct in their posses
sion. There were no white men with
them.
We are authorized by the Deputy Sher-
if, conducting the election, to say that
neither to negroes nor to white men was
there allowed any freedom Of choice or
fairness Of choice at the election in the
parish of Plaquemines, and that the lives
and the safety, personal and in property,
OF the conservative citizens is in great
peril in the parish OF Plaquemines.
