The long mooted question, as to whether the moon is made of green cheese or not, would seem about to be decided emphatically in the negative. The astronomers tell us that a vol cano is in active eruption upon the bosom of the Queen of Night, and unless cheeses are volcanic we consider it deruortratod that the moon is not made of "green cheese." There are a great many sublunary people who hold the moon re sponsible for almost everything such as the tides, bad weather, failure in soap, in the yield of pork when killed, or potatoes when dug. In short, tbeie is scarcely anything that it is not important to consult that luminary about. Does anybody recollect what was the state of the moc n when theJVgfclature metf If that body convened uu what old farmers call the "wrong time of the moon' why then we have a satis factory explanation of many things it has done and left undone. It' the Legislature met on what is termed a "dry moon," then it is not sur prising that the session ehould promise to be a drought as far as the interests of the Sfat9 and people are concerned. We know that the moon will spoil fresh fih,and we confess that it is not unlikely some influence may have been exer cibed by our satellite over the Legislature. Hence we say it is important to determine how the moon was when the Legislature met. Ye are disposed to be kind and charitable, and will urgeJhat the Legislature should not be con demned if its deeds can by any means be sad dled upon the moon. GREAT REDUCTION IN PRICES.

The Mobile Tribune says with truth, that to radical legislation is to be attributed one of the principal causes that prevents an influx of immi gration into these States. Another cause to be : sought for in the disposition of our planters to bold on to land tuey are unable to cultivate, rather than to divide it into small parcels, and sell it at reasonable rates. There are agents in our cities who have for sale any number of plan tations, but, we know of not one who is attempt ing to sell them by retail that is, offer a man of moderate means the opportunity of investing in a farm. He n:ust buy a plantation or stay away. - The term "Southern" has also had its influence in keeping away immigration. If a correct cen sus could be taken of the biped asses in the world, the world itself would be alarmed at the number, and would pray to God to send another flood, but not another ark. The great majority of people in Europe and at the North need nothing more than to see a country called Southern, to be con vinced that yellow fever, leprosy, Asiatic chol era aud Egyptian plague abide in it forever ; that there is a rattle-snake under every stone, a boa constrictor up ei'ery tree, and that alligators, mud turtks, panthers, anteaters and hippopotami have the freedom of all its cities. These impressions they get from the villainous pictures in school geographies. We confess that our earliest no tions of Egypt was received from one of these pictures pyramids :iu the back ground, and .in front a crocodile with an ox in its jaws. For a number of years we thought an Egyptian was never out of sirrht of crocodiles walking off with oxen, the latter seized by the small of the back, and (heir feet pawinrj the air. We have recov ered from all that ; but there are thousands of victims of Yankee geographies and free schools that have not been so fortunate. When good poople hear our country called Southern, they never look on the map for its latitude, but only for the horrors mentioned above. We would like to convince all such that this is not a Southern laud. On the contrary, it lies in the very centre of the Temperate zone, and en joys a climate equal to that of the best part of Europe. Its soil is the richest in the world, and there is enough of it cleared and .fenced in, to support a population equal to that of France. Railroads and rivers are at hand to take the pro duce to market. This then, is the country to be sought by white men who are wrestling with starvation at home. Let them cone in sufficient numbers, and they can bid defiance to radical ism. iVcw Crop Ceiba Molasses DIRECT FROM CARDENAS. 260 Hogsheads, 1 Bright New Crop Clayed 64 Tierces, Molasses 45 Barrels, J In Prime New Packages, Daily expected, from Cardenas direct, pr Schr.

KISTL,ER. 1 SHOBT SEBMONS BY A LAYMAN No. 4. : The ladies mast not suppose that I intend to neglect them in my sermons. I am too polite for that. I intend this for them exclusively. It is about the fashions. - It has been said that people would follow the fashion, whatever it might be. If this is true, I don'i want to be here when the "Yuma In dian" style is adopted for the women and the Tebauntepcc" for the men. Perhaps you never neara ot these. I'll tell you. The Yuma In dian women do up their hair with toft clay, in ine snape of a pyramid, and then they are dressed for company. In Tehauntepce full dress ia a pair of cot too gloves. I'have heard it intimated that in some of the Territories a revenue stamp is used for Summer wear but this borders &o nearly on the indelicate that I am loth to believe it. Now, 1 say I don't want to be here when these things happen. The present styles are sufficiently distracting. When a modest man, walking with downcast eyes sees in front of him a pair of white stockings and things approaching, and indignantly lifts his gaze to rebuke the proprietor thereof, he is met by a head of hair resembling a keg of lager be hind, and a fiizzled-chicken-on-a-rainy-day in front, the threatening appearance of which is calculated to 6ubdue a man of ordinary courage. I am glad big hoops aro going out. They were a nuisance. They kept a man continually turn ing bis back whenever the wearer stood on an elevation, or got into an omnibus, or attempted to pass through a narrow place; and then it made him nervous to see one of them try to sit down comfortably. It reminded him. of a turkey-ben going to roost. I never liked those trailing skirts for walking. They outraged all. the ideas of cleanliness which are associated with a lady; but give me the trailing skirts in pre ference to these looped up ones, in dry weather. The latter will do well around the wash tub, but the little boys ought to run after one in the streets. If you happen to have plump and pretty calves, whose business is that, I should like to know? Do you want every blackguard in town discussing them? And oh, if they are not plump and pretty, and if the feet hanging to 'em are like little canoes, and the ankles are not straight, wh-e-w ! The works of nature are beautiful sometimes, and sometimes not; but they are always wonderful. We sometimes speak of nature's lavisbness, and sometimes of her economy, and sometimes we see both illus trated at one sight. We see a woman walking and we are struck with the economy of legs and the lavishness of feet, and wo wonder both at nature and the woman's taste in displaying it. Next to modesty, taste in dress id the crown of fashion. But what is taste in one, is a want of it in another. The "fashion" is never becom ing to all alike. Think of a woman with a high forehead, a very prominent nose, and, receding chin, wearing her hair plastered straight from her face backwards and ending in an immense waterfall, so tight that she can hardly shut her eyes. Then think of a little squatty woman, with big hoops, looped skirts and a pair of No. 4 shoes on, paddling down a pavement, under the same head-gear! Could any stretch of politeness induce a man to say that was pretty, or becomiog? You need'nt say anything about the men's fashions. They aro ridiculous some times too. But they are of no consequence any way. Now, I want to give some advice, in conclu sion, to the young ladies. By following every fashion and adopting every new-fangled notion which emanates from the diseased society of other countries, you will lose those character istics which have distinguished your mothers, and made the name of a Southern lady synony mous with delicacy, dignity, purity and grace. The fiery'ordeal through which they have passed, has served but to add to their refine ment, although they are denied the elegancies of former years. They deserve and receive the love and respect of all who are capable of ap preciating devotion, fortitude, and self sacrifice Their example will be invaluable to you. In all the relations of life stick to the standards which have been recognized at home, and keep alive and transmit to your children the virtues and graces which constitute your peculiar heri tage. Wilmington Journal. Diseases of Hogs. Swine are much more subject to disease than most persous imagine, and the human species who eat swine are much more interested in the preservation of their health, than is generally conceived. Many of the dis eases of mankind, we imagine, originate in the consumption of unhealthy animal food. If so, it is important that all animals should be in a peifcctly healthy state, when slaughtered for food. On the subject of the diseases of hogs, the last Danville Times publishes a letter from a Mr Kemp who seems to have had .considerable experience in their management. He thinks that the pre valent disease this winter among hogs, generally called cholera, is nothing but fever. lie classes the diseases of hogs thus; measles, fever, mange, murrian or leprosy and gargut. He has cored a number afflicted with fever or so-called cholera, with the following prescription: one tea-spoonful of spirits of turpentine, one table spoonful of castor oil, and one table-spoonful of sulphur, to be given as soon a3 the disease appears, and to be repeated frequently.

That we hold it to be the duty of. every good citizen to give his aid to the de velopment of the:resources of his native State. 2. That we protest against the furnishing of transportation, at the expense of the Govern ment, to remove labor from where it is needed, to forward the interest of speculators who come here and pay a bonus of from 315 to 20 per head, to runners to induce hands to leave their employment, or refuse to make contracts at home; and then deceive the Government by representing that the people ore suffering for waut of work, that they may obtain transporta tion. 3 That we form ourselves into an anti-emigration league, and that we invito the co-operation of the neighboring farms, and all others favorable to the cause. 4. That a copy of these resolutions be sent to Gen. O. O. Howard, Superintendent of the Frcednian's Bureau; and that they be published in tne city papers. m - A New Cure for Consumption. A re cent letter from Paris to the New York Even ing Post says : , M. Baleguer addresses a communication to M. Piorry, in Le Courrier Medical, describing the properties of a new oil, that seems endowed with a marvellous facility for traversing animal membranes. If a ferv drops are poured into the palm of the hand, aud the palm rubbed with a finger, the oil is soon seen oozing through the back of the hand. The same experiment tried on tne tore-arm produces the. same rcsuit. When the oil is saturated by aforcigo substance it loses none ot this remarkable power tor ab sorption, and can theretore serve as a vehicle par excellence for the administration of drugs. The experiment has been tried with copaiba and with iodine, and with very satisfactory re sults. When the oil, saturated with iodine, was rubbed upon the palm of the hand, and the back of the haud wiped with a piece of muslin, the muslin was tinged violet. M. Baleguer be lieves that the efficacy of iodine, if administered ... li t ; J in ttns oil, wouiu De so immensely increaseu, that a rational hope might be entertained of its power to arrest tuberculization in the lungs and prevent hemorrhage. Among the patients upon whom he has tried this method, in the first stages of consumption, he has found the physi cal signs of tubercular depesit diminish, the res piration become freer, embonpoint succed to emaciation, and a general reeling o! well-being to which the unfortunate had long been unac- customed, begin to establish itself. M. Balesruer conceals the name of this won- derful oil, but he invites M. Piorry to experi ment upon it, and offers him his assistance in the further elucidation of its characteristics. Dimensions or Heaven. The calcuhtions here mad, based on a text in Revehiioug, is ! copied from an old Western paper: A Description of Heaven. Revelation, xxi chapter, 10ih verse: "And be measured the city with a reed, twelve thousand furlongs. The length, heigbth and breadth of it are equal." Twelve thousand furlongs, 7,920,000 feet, which being cubed, is 918,088,000,000,000, 000,000,000 cubic feet, the half of which we will reserve for the throne of God and the court of Heaven, half of the balance for the streets, and the remainder divided by 4.96, the cubical j feet in the roomi 19 feet square and 1G feet high, will be 5,743,750,000,000 rooms.

I COTTON. :s The annual trade summaries of business doot io 1866, issued by leading broken ia Liverpool, say . "The year 1860 has been a very memorable one whether me regard the extraordinary flue tu&tions in price or the almost magical change io the' aspect of cotton -supply; ii has bseo a year fertile io surprises, baffling all commercial calculations, and altogether without parallel ia the history of the cottoo trade." For 1867, the prospects of a Urge cotton supply are set down 43 "the reverse of favorable." The United States and India, now the principal sources of supply, gave far more cotton in. 1865 than wis calculated upon. Yet, the past season io Amer ica is described as "an unusually bad one" the very worst known within living memory. .It is estimated for 1867, that 1,800,000 bales will be the United States crop, of which 900,000 may come to England or perhaps, with an early season And good crop, 100,000 more against an import of 1,163,000 bales, in 1866. From India there will be a great deficiency ia the early part of the present year; very little cottou was being shipped, and thsre was but a poor supply in stock. From this and the shattered state of Bombay finances, India will not. bo able to ship cotton largely to England earlier than March. The deficiency in the import of India cotton will probably be 400,000 to 600,000 bales in the first half of 1867, as compared with 1866; If prices in Europe are high, Urge qutntities of cotton will be drawn from India; if low, the native consumption will absorb a great deal -The growing crop all over India is reported "large and good." From .Egypt and Brazil ac counts are very unfavorable. One of the Trade Circulars says : "Putting West India and other sundries on the same footing, the aggregate supply to Great Britain for the year would bo as follows : 1867. Bales. 4)00,000 1,400,000 300.0CO 300,000 150,000 I860. Bales. 1,163,000 1,848,000 200,000 408,000 131,000 American, East India, Mediterranean, Brazil, West India, &o , Total, 3,200,000 . 3,750,000 "These figures show a falling off in the im ports of 550,000 bales as compared with the past year, and a deficiency of fully 250,000, as com pared with the deliveries for consumption and export (3,5.72,000 bales), so that if the same rate of delivery were maintained for 1867, the stock at the end of the year in Liverpool and London would be reduced from 581,000 balea to nearly 200,000 bales. "Of course, such a result as this could not be allowed, and at least 400,000 bales would be kept in tho ports, so that on the theory of sup ply we have given tho deliveries for homo con sumption, and export would have to be curtailed 200,000 bales in 18G7, as compared with 1866." The question is, what price can Manchester pay for the manufactured article, and yet keep the looms and spindles of Lancashire workiog full time? At present the Lancashire factories are working at a loss, rather than create troubles among the operatives by going into "short time' the manufacturers will go on losing as little as they can, but certainly losing. Dear bread and dear cotton will be the probable evils of 18G7 in England. A Nice Law. Do you know why China is called "the celestial country?" It's because they have a law there which wipes out all debts on the first day of January, whether people are able to pay or not. Who will say that is not better than the villainous custom of taking notes, or keeping accounts. How delightful it must be, after a constable has set up with you faith fully until the 31st day of December, to emerge the next day and not know him I Creditors are very insignificant creatures thereon New Year's day. The Chinese are very respectable people in my opinion, and I have no doubt that, if their law was adopted here, it would be con sidered a big thing. Then there would be no lawyers, and writs and sheriffs and other dis turbers of domestic peace, and everybody would prosper, instead of being io a state of chronio insolvency like we are. In conclusion I would advise you not to try to be a creditor. Credi tors aie nuisances and are about to be abolished. The Legislature considers them "bad eggs." Lost by not Taking a Paper The Charlestown (Virgioia) Free Press says: Some time ago, a gentleman in Charlestowa was ap pointed soditor to distribute the funds io the bands of the administrators among the creditor!. Notice of the auditor was published. It so happened that a few creditors residing in a certain portion ox tne county, who bad col- Actively claims to the amount of ven or fight hundred dollars, from the neglect of takinz a county paper, never heard of the audit until after the report of the auditor had been con- J firmed by the court They then csme into town to inquire about the likelihood of-securiog their claims; called upon an attorney, who examined into the matter, and informed them that .they j had forever lost their money, and we presume j charged tbem five dollars for the information! j All this resulted in being too penurious to take a paper. Relations witu Relaxio.xs Wfaeo rela tions begin to feel out of humor with their re lations, the disease, if encouraged, becomes mons'rons and unrootable. Caaes have been known where oear relations have lived together for years and years without exchanging a word. And wbec death came and separated tbem, flood of remorse embittered the last yean of the one left, until they were ready to pray to God to send death for them aUo, to relieve them 4f their intolerable anguish Even good, .pious, truthful people are sometimes victims .to this bitterness of feeling against their relation. 1 They perhaps suffer from the sopereilliouj pride of hiughty relations, who, very inferior to them in goodness and worth, yet accident hariog made them rich and prosperous, they feel tbey have ja right to snub their joor Jelation.
