very much swollen, and every one who saw him

about him when We saw that the doctor did not
help him any after five weeks trial. Hearing Of
your VEGETINE, / concluded 10 try IT, and that
conclusion saved my boys life / sincerely be
heve. After taxing two bottles Of the VEGET-
me, the swelling on the neck began 70 dischaI &c
frightfully, but We continued 70 give IL 70 him,
and now the sore has healed nicely. He is as
well as q child can possibly be; has a good ap-
peutei sleeps well at night, and il goOd-uatured
all day Before taking the VEGETINE he was
cross and peevish, his food did not stay on his
stomach, and he did not sleep long at a time.
The gratitude / owe you no pen can portray.

the Ell Paso route. That city has
many advantages Of location, mercan-
tile connections, and lengthy expe-
rience. all which will be enhanced by
the clearing of the Delta now In pro-
gress, and the political redemption Of
Louisiana at the next election.
How far these natural advan-
tages may be neutralized by the
combinations of Col. Scott, who would,
of course, discriminate so far as posi-
bic in favor Of his leased connections
feeding the Pennsylvania Central, can
not be determined beforehand. But
any such diversion from the natural
channels of trade, cannot be perma-
nent. Railroads and railroad combina-
tons are subject to many vicissitudes,
and, in the long run, nature always as
serts herself. The completion of the
Texas Pacific may benefit the Pennsyl-
vania railroad more Immediately, but
it VIII bring profit to our Southern
roads and Southern ports more surely
and permanently.

large were rapidly coming up to high
er state of real prosperity than they
had enjoyed. According 10 the advices
received from Mr.. McKillop's agencies
in the different Southern States, there
was a disposition on the part Of plant
ers and farmers to produce less cotton
and to grow more grain. Therefore
people ought not to be surprised if the
cotton does not exceed an average, not
withstanding that the agricultural area
under actual cultivation this year was
much greater than heretofore.
And now for the other side of the sit
uation. Viewed by Mr.. Barlow, of
Dun, Barlow & Co.'s Agency, it is very
gloomy indeed. He said that his i'm
preston, although not shared in toto
by the rest of firm, were founded on
close observation of conditions Of trade
generally. The year, so far, had been
a failure in business sense, and trade
had fallen far below the expectations
of the modestly hopeful ones. Indeed,
he could not feel justified in saying
that the future would be much better,
and he judged that the most that could
be done by careful business men would
be to preserve their assets from shrink
age.
We notice, however, that the tone of
the leading commercial journals is
more cheerful Of late; and, should pres
emit antieipations concerning the crops
be realized, it is not improbable that
the country will experience a return to
something like the degree of prosper
ity that prevailed before the panic.

BUTLER In new ORLEANS.
The Jurisdiction OF Military Courts
Affirmed by the Supreme Court.

The Jurisdiction OF Military Courts
Affirmed by the Supreme Court.
In the q. S. Supreme Court, last
Thursday, Justice Strong delivered an
opinion In the case of the Mechanics
and Traders Bank, IN error, VS.. the
Union Bank Of Louisville. In May,
1862, after the capture of New Orleans,
Gen. Butler issued a general order ap-
pointing Maj. Bell Provost Judge and
Capt. French Provost Marshal of the
city. a few days after this order the
Union Bank lent to plaintiffs the sum of
$3.50, 900, and subsequently, the loan not
having been repaid, brought suit be-
fore the Provost Judge to recover the
debt. The defense was taken that the
Judge had no jurisdiction over civil
cases, but Judgment was given against
the borrowers, and they paidthe money
under protest To recover 1t back Is
the object of the present suit, and the
contention of the plaintiffs is that the
Judgment was illegal and void, because
the Provost G jurt hadno jurisdiction of
the case. The judgment Of the Dis.
trict Court was against the plaintiffs,
and this Judgment was affirmed by the
Supreme Court of the State. To this
afirmance error is now assigned.
Justice Field decided that the Provost
Court had jurisdiction, and the judg-
men5 was affirmed.

THE FARMERS AND TIE WOOL
CLIP.
New York Bulletin.

From our exchanges we learn that
the opening prices Of new wool in the
Western States have been CSC to 43c,
according to grade and condition, but
chiefly at 3Sc to 40c for Michigan and
similar grades, while as high as 49ac to
soc for combing grades of Kentucky
has been paid. But sales so far have
been of a limited character, and not
sufficient TO establish a real market for
the clip. There seems to be the same
disposition among the farmers to hold
the crop, as If with a view to force
buyers to come TO their terms, as was
shown on their two other chief crops
hogs and grain. On the other
hand, the manufacturers are act
ing on the same line of passive
offense, and refuse to 60 into the wool
districts In competition with the regu-
lar dealers, as they have done in years
past, to their own and the dealers DIS
advantage and to the benefit Of the
farmers. This season they seem dis
posed to let the dealers manage this
business themselves. On the part of
the latter, there is the same disposition
shown as by the farmers, to hold OF
until they compel these to come to
their terms, which are on the basis Of
last years figures or less. 1t is proba-
bic, therefore, that we shall see the re-
cent experience of the grain market
repeated on wool during the spring,
and that no more than sufficient to
supply the current wants of manufac-
turers will be bought for some time, if
at all, at the rates named above, unless,
indeed, the wooden goods trade should
experience a quick and substantial re-
yiyal.

THE SILVER PROBLEm.

The effect Of the recent decline IN
the value of silver bullion appears not
to be clearly understood, and the IN
timation on the partof the Director Of
the Mint that this decline would soon
bring about the use Of silver coin in
the place Of the fractional currency has
led to many inquiries at the Treasury
Department. To make this subject
perfectly clear, prominent officer of
the Treasury Department has respond
ed to the many questions bearing on
this matter in the following manner:
The gold value Of silver is now III
cents per ounce, fine, which CORES
ponds to 100 cents per ounce 900 fine,
or United States standard. One
dollar in fractional coins contains
385 SO grains, and since $50 grains
lone ounce are worth SIO9; 3S5 grains
are worth 81 6.1O cents. This may be
termed the intrinsic value of silver.
With gold at SIG, United States notes
are worth Sc 2-l0 cents. From the
foregoing data it will be seen that a
dollarin fractional silver coins will pur-
chase less than Il cents worth more
of gold than United States notes, and
this difference would at this time be
scarcely sufficient to defray insurance
and freight in exporting the coin. The
supply Of silver being so largely in
excess of the demand, its decline IN
value until it reaches the gold value OF
the legal tender currency of countries
like the United States, Russia, and
Austria appears to be quite certain.
The causes producing an excessive sup
ply of silver are well known to be the
recent change from the silver to the
gold standard by the German Empire,
its limited use as a legal tender IN
France and her monetary allies, and
the increasing production Of that metal
in the United States.

Now comes a Frenchman who defes
drought and proposes to make farmers
free and independent Of the clouds
His name is Paraf, and the Monsieur
and his plan depends on the fact that
chloride of calcium absorbs moisture
from the air. By mixing it with the
most unpromising soils, he has ascer-
tanned that a judicious proportion Of
the familiar compound will more eff
fectually irrigate waste lands than any
present system Of canals or wells. His
preparation retains moisture for three
days, where water-application as now
practiced would evaporate IN one.
