He was received at the DeiMjt by the 3!ayor and Commissioners, and tendered the hcspitalities of the City. Ihe Mayor greeted him iu a few remarks, when C. M.

Discouraging Childhood. It is somewhere related th it a poor soldier, having had h's skull fractured, was told by the doctor that his brains were visible. -Do write to father," he replied, "and tell him of it, for he always said I had no brains." How n.auy fathers and mothers tell their children such, and how often d es such a remark contribute net a little to prevent any development of the brain ! A grown up person tells a child he is brainless, or foolish, or a blockhead, or that he is deficient in some mental or moral faculty, and nine cases out cd ten, the statement is believed, or if not fully believed, the thought that it may be par tially so, acts, like an incubus to repress the con fidence and energies of that child. Let any per son lo k back to chi'dhood's days, and he can doubtless recall many words and expressions which exerted such a diseonranin:r or encourag ing influence over him, as to tell upon his whole future course of life. We knew an ambitious boy, who, at thc age often years, had become so degresscd with fault finding and reproof, not duly mingled with en couraging words, that at an early age he longed for death to take him out of the world, in which he conceived he had no abilities to r!se. But while all thus appeared so dark around him, and he had so often been told of his fi ults and d.fi ciencies, that he seemed to himself the dullest and worst of boys, aud while none of his good qualities or capabilities had been mentioned, and he believed he had none, a s'gle word of pra-se :i d appreciation, car.dess'y dropped n his Leer ing, changed his whole course o thought. e have often heard him say that '-that word saved him." The moment he thought he could do well, he resolved that he would and he has done well. Parents, these are important consid erations, sometimes encourage vour children without an if. Do not always tell them they can be good or can do well if they will do thus or so well, and that there is nothing to hinder them. American Ajr-'cultvriat. Confiscation. It is now understood, also. that the pr jectfor confiscation has not been abandoned, and is about to be revived, in view. f the expected accession of Mr Hade to the Presidency. Mr Stevens' confiscation bill was a failure, as impeachment was for a-while; but the success of the impeachment would perhaps se cure the accomplishment of its kindred measure eoaarcatioo. A atyona Inwlypmcm: A new Indictment against Jefferson Davis, From the Richmond Enquirer., Judge Underwood's black and tan grand jury, has, after an incubation of more than six months, at last hatched a new indictment against ex- Presideot Davis. We suppose he will be tried uuder this indictment xchm he is brought to trial. It covers more than fifty pages of foolscap. The indictment states that in 1861 he armed and equipped troops for the purpose of levying war against the United- States ; that he took forcible possession of the city of .Richmond, and excluded therefrom the forces of the United States; that he armed and equipped military forces for the purpose of levying war against the United States iu the States of Virginia. North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Ala bama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, Arkansas, Tennessee aud Vlissouri, and that he gave to the said forces information, counsel and advice, maliciously and traitorously to assist them in levying the war aforesaid. And that at Manassas on the 21st of July, 1S61, with a number of person, amounting to 50,000 or more, armed, equipped and organized as military forces with the usual weupons of war, and maliciously and traitorously fought against, killed, wounded aud captured officers aud soldiers of the United States army, and destroyed and captured munitions and materials of war, the property of the United States ; and that he, with Uobert K.

The Precepts of our Early Presidents. President Jefferson, in his Inaugural Address, 31arch 4th, 1805, says: "All. too, will bear in mind this sacred prin ciple, that, though the will of the majority is in all cas;-s to prevail, that wiil. to be rightful, must be reasonable ; the minority possess their equal rights, which equal laws must protect, and to violate which would be oppression. Let us re store to sci:il intercourse that harmonj' and af fection, without which liberty and even life itself are but dreary things. And let us reflect that, having banished from our land religious intoler ance, we have yet gained but'little. if we coun tenance as despotic, as wicked, and capable of as bitter and bloody persecutions. It is proper you shou'd understand what I deem the essential principles of our Government, and consequently those which ought to shape its administration.

Fellow men, let us determine to apply this touchstone to the present state of affairs, and to the services of those we trust, as they conform or vary with the principles set forth by President Jefferson. They are the groundwork of Demo cracy, whether the Democracy of thc present day be true to this basis of '-political faith" or not. They are the sheet-anchor of the patriot, by what soever name they may be called ; and while every Democrat in uame, must of necessity and con sistency cherish them as the fountain of expe rience in the past, let him be sure to study them anewr : engraft them in his heart; exemplify them in his energetic support nf constitutional law, and determine they shall be his rule of political action in the future. Do this, bend all abstract theories of eiediency to a strict con struction of the letter of the Constitution, as "the Ark of the Covenant" of our fathers, and we shall have such an ingathering of Conservatives by name, but democrats by principle as shall drive the legislative nondescripts at Washington out of the councils of the nation, and bring our trinity of government back ta the principles enunciated by the author of the Declaration of Independence and the founder of the Democratic creed of political faith. Washington Items. Judge Black, yesterday (.March 31,) in the Supreme Court desired to argue the effect of re cent legislation on the McCardle case. During the colloquy Judge Grier said he felt called up! on to vindicate himself from whatever of obloquy or censure may attend in this matter. That he thought the failure to decide the McCardle case will be considered as a design on the part of the Court to wait for legislation to relieve them from an unplcasaut duty. Judge Grier closed with, 'I am ashamed such an "opprobrium should be cast upon the Court and that it cannot be refuted." The supreme Court has postponed further ar gument in the McCardel case until its next term. General Hancock has issued an order assum ing command of f t division of the Atlantic, with his headquarters in Washington. The division embraces the department of the East, of Wash ington and of thc Lakes. In the Supreme Court in the case of Martin and McGill, a motion to advance the cause was denied. It was an appeal from the Circuit Court of Florida in a murder case. The Court suggested a remedy in the shape of an application to this Court for a writ of habeas corpus and a writ of certioari against the District Court. The counsel took no action on the suceestion. This j case is tiwilar to the McCardle esse- Sweet potatoes. Within a circuit of thirty or forty miles around Norfolk, the soil is peculiarly adapted to the growth of sweet potatoes. They are shipped to the North, from this port, and the surrounding country in large quantities. We have never kuown them to be shipped abroad, to any consid erable extent. The following article from the Alexandria Gazette would lead us to hope that in a few years, we shall have sweet potato packers as well as oyster pac kers, at woik in our harbor. We have beiore met with the author of the article quoted. He first introduced into our Navy-yaid dry pres sed bricks, out of which many of the most exten sive houses are built. He is a man who looks upon all questions as open questions, and is not atraid to follow with his money, where his judg ment leads. We trust that all 3Ir Smith says about the dried sweet potato may be fully realized : "Allow me to invite your attention to a recent discovery, which must prove invaluable to the South, now that cotton can no longer be profitably raised. "Cotton had been known for generations, but only to supply the family's need, until Whitney's genius responded to a world's demand. So also the sweet potato can be grown iu fabulous quan tities, but its perishable nature confines it to home consumption. "Experiments have been made, establishing I facts ot great importance relative to the sweot i potato. "A bushel when pared with the knife and this wastes much, weighs 52 pounds but when dried only ten pounds, having lost three fourths iu bulk, and four fifths in wehzht ! Half a pound, when boiled three-quarters of an hour iu an earthen vessel, (tin discolors,) fills a large dish, in color and flavor m-eeiselv like the root on vour table men enclosed hard as flint stone. This delicious vegetable, therefore can now be placed on the table every day of the year in its best condition. "There must be a great foreign demand, for in Europe it is scarcely kuown, aud eve i in our own country, West and North, it is seldom seen. 'You will also find a specimen of desicated Irish potato. The first trial was a complete fail ure; they came forth almost black, and I gave it up in despair; but subsequently reflection sug gested that when boiled they became white what the difference ? Accordingly, they were submitted for a few minutes to steam, in order that the outer surface might be cooked, to form a mucillagc impervious to the atmosphere. The result was very gratifying they appeared bright and almost semitransparent. When boiled and compared with others you can perceive no dif ference. ,lIt is evident they will keep during the long est voyage. How valuable for sea stores, with only one-fourth the original bulk, and one-fifth the original weight ! How important, too, in a sanitary point of view, for there is no scurvy with potatoes twice a week. "Francis II. Smith. Baltimore, March 2G, 188." Depreciation of Southern Lands. Hy the report of the Commissioner of Agri culture for February, we find an estimate of the present value of Southern lands compared with that of 1 SCO: In Virginia the decrease is 27 per cent. N Carolina " 50 " S Carolina ' 60 55 00 33 30 Georgia Mabama " u Louisiana " 4' Arkansas " u The causes of this decrease are stated to be various, among which are enumerated general indebtedness scarcity of money, pauperism, loss of capital iu slaves, the unsettled condition of the country, the fear of confiscation aud the dread of negro domination. These causes are numerous enough and power ful enough to cause any country to wither away. The wonder is not that the whole South is blighted, but that there is any vitality left in it at all. That such is the ease is the best proof in the world of the fortitude of the Southern people in bearing up against a load of adversity such as has never been the lot of any other people under the sun. Had it not been for such a spirit of energy, even under persecution, they must have long since sunk ; for no other people in thc world could have stood the trials to which the South has been subjected.

Presidents 7 .." ..From the Philadelphia Evening Herald.: On Monday (30th of March) fairly commenced the impeachment trial of President Johnson. Thb is the first time in the history of our Re public that the Chief Magistrate of the nation has been brought before the bar of the Senate to answer charges made by the House of Repre sentatives, and let us fervently hope that never again shall the disgrace attach itself to this na tion of being compelled to witness a President of the United States forced to stand in the position of a criminal upon the frivolous and trumped-up allegations of a partisan, perjured and reckless Congress. When we reflect upon the trivial character of the charges, and the past history and conduct of the prominent actors in this out rage, we are at a loss which to wonder at most, their effrontery or their criminality. The iui peachers are the fitting growth of the turbulent and vicious times in which we live times that have witnessed one outrage after another perpe trated with impunity against the soleumly guar anteed constitutional rights of the citizen times that have witnessed the entire overthrow of out constitutional form of government, and the sub stitution for it of a centralized congressional oligarchy, from whose halls ten States iu this Union are violently and defiantly excluded times that have given birth to such corruptions and wickedness iu high places, and such beastly, heaven-daring criuiiuality in low, that must make the heart of the honest patriot shudder when he reflects that God is just. Thc lofty integrity and earnest devotion of Andrew Johnson to his country was a living re buke to these bold, bad men in Congress, who have been engaged in this wicked conspiracy and usurpation to perpetuate their ill-gotten power. As long as he was in office they feared the in fluence and effect upon the people of his uoble protests and nervous appeals to his couutrymen whenever a constitutional right was assailed, or a constitutional bulwark attempted to be over thrown. They must get rid of him ; they must silence his bold, warning voice, and fill his place with a subservient miniou of their own, who would simply endorse and register their infamous decrees. Ihe object of the impeachment ''hath this extent, no more." The perpetuation of their power to screen their crimes, by the removal of all obstacles in their pathway, has become a stern necessity. No man, of the most ordinary fair ness, can read through the articles of impeach ment, after the tremendous pother that was made in Congress for many long months previous to their introduction, without a smile of derision. After such loud-sounding manifestoes, and such meagre, barren results, one is forcibly reminded of the cry of the Smyrna fig dealers: "In the name of the prophet, God is great and Mahomet is his prophet ! figs ! figs !" All the impeachments known in history have been dignified by the appearance at least of grave and weighty charges, and the services of the loftiest and proudest minds of the State as prose cutors ; and have left their marks upon the historic page as efforts of outraged justice to ar raign at her bar criminals in highest stations. This, however. wMl go down to posterity as the meanest, most trifling, most malignant persecu tion, by little and depraved miuds. of a man in the loftiest position in the world, whose only of fence was, that he endeavored '-to preserve, pro tect and defend" that constitution they were en deavoring to undermine and destroy. This will be the verdict of impartial history, and the name of Johnson will live forever iu the memory of all true patriots, while that of his persecutors will be j ustly execrated and dishonored.

Cashior. v , Romantic Wedding. We hive heard of all sorts of curious weddinpg as occurring in all sorts of curious places, and under all sorts of strange circumstances, hut we don't think we ever hefbre heard of a couple be. , injr spliced in a huggy while driving along t public road. This we are assured, actually oc curred in the county of Chesterfield a few days ago. As the story goes, a young couple had long been engaged, and the day was fixed when the nuptial knot was to be regularly tied at Mount Herman church. The affianced bride visited Manchester, and perhaps Richmond, to select the ''wedding dress and things." When she re. turned by rail, and reached Coalfield Station, she was met by her lover, with a top buggy, to carry her home. On the road they met the pastor of their church, and as the license had already been obtained, the impatient and too eager bridegroom insisted upon the ceremony being performed at once rthe preacher on horseback and they in the carriage with a farmer and his wife, who hap. pened to be present, for witnesses. His wed ding, he declared, must be unusually romantic, or he would not marry at all. And so the cere mony was performed, and the happy couple went home to surprise their friends with a description of the Wedding iu a Carriage.
